Sarah Gorev

Exploring Ways to Wellness delivers alternative healing and natural wellness solutions through authentic conversations and real experiences. Perfect for curious souls seeking complementary therapies and mindful living beyond mainstream wellness advice.

From mindfulness to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), cold water swimming to sound therapy, she's lifting the veil on evidence-based alternative approaches that can be easily incorporated and even enhance your packed schedule.

Each episode demystifies holistic practices through genuine, no-pressure conversations about what works (and maybe what doesn't). Ideal for people who are intrigued by alternative wellness and natural healing but want real experiences, not just theory. Instead of 'powering through' and reaching exhaustion and burn-out, Sarah explores how these accessible practices can help you reclaim your energy, process past experiences, and find balance - without requiring endless time or resources.

If you're open-minded about exploring holistic wellness solutions but fancy hearing real experiences before diving in, this is your weekly companion for discovering different paths to feeling good again.

Exploring Family Constellations with Kaz
Send us Fan Mail What if the thing holding you back has nothing to do with your own life at all -but with a story that belongs to someone in your family tree, generations before you were even born? Host Sarah Gorev welcomes back Kaz (Karen Conville), who joined her previously to talk about Ayurveda, for a fascinating conversation about family constellations -the practice of looking at the patterns, beliefs and burdens we can unconsciously inherit from our wider family system. Please be aware: to explain the concept, Kaz uses a hypothetical example involving the accidental death of a child, and later touches on miscarriage and stillbirth. Both are handled with care, but worth knowing before you press play. In this episode you'll hear about: • What actually counts as "family" in this work -and why people entirely outside your bloodline can still be part of your system • How unresolved grief, guilt or exclusion can filter down through generations without anyone consciously knowing why • The victim/perpetrator dynamic, and how healing comes from acknowledging both sides of suffering, not choosing one • What actually happens in a session • Kaz's own first experience witnessing a session • Why you don't need to bring an issue of your own to benefit -simply witnessing can be part of the healing • What it really means to "gracefully hand back" a story that was never yours to carry Whether you're already drawn to this work or hearing about family constellations for the first time, this is a thoughtful, open-hearted conversation about the stories we carry -and the ones we can choose to put down. 🔗 Kaz / Karen Conville - https://karenconville.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/karenconville/ Exploring Ways to Wellness is hosted by Sarah Gorev -honest, down-to-earth conversations about holistic wellness approaches that actually work.

Exploring Manifestation with Dani
Send us Fan Mail Manifestation gets a bad press. Somewhere between the vision boards and the mirror affirmations, it became either a wellness cliché or something that felt frankly a bit embarrassing to admit you were interested in. But strip all of that away and what's left is actually grounded in neuroscience, universal laws that have been around for centuries, and the simple but profound idea that you are a far more active participant in your own life than you might realise. Dani Devren is a spiritual business mentor who describes manifestation as the golden thread running through everything she does - not a technique she teaches, but a way of living she's quietly been doing her whole life, long before she had a name for it. Her story of how a single voice note to a friend turned into her first official manifestation expert role - in the space of 48 hours! In this episode you'll hear about: Why affirmations and vision boards alone won't work - and what actually needs to happen underneath them for anything to shift The difference between manifestation as a passive wish list and as something you actively participate in Why the thing you think you want is probably not the thing you actually want - and what to focus on instead What frequency and vibration actually mean in plain language, and why your baseline matters more than any single technique The universal laws behind manifestation - from the law of attraction to the law of allowing and how they work together What to do when you're genuinely struggling and the idea of a higher frequency feels about as realistic as flying Why "force resists, flow creates" might be the most useful thing you hear this week And why the words in spells matter more than you might think 🔗 You can find @danidevren on Instagram All her offering including Soul Align Mentor programme, Soul Aligned Village community, retreats and workshops are on her website: https://www.danidevren.co.uk/ Exploring Ways to Wellness is hosted by Sarah Gorev — honest, down-to-earth conversations about holistic wellness approaches that actually work.

Exploring Astrology with Soph
Send us Fan Mail You know your star sign. Maybe you read the horoscope. But what if that's barely even scratching the surface of what astrology can actually tell you — about yourself, your patterns, your relationships, and even the weeks when everything just flows? This week on Exploring Ways to Wellness, Sarah sits down with Soph Newman — psychotherapist, astrologer, and the person who gently but thoroughly dismantled everything Sarah thought she knew about astrology in the first two minutes. Soph describes her work as science and soul — and this conversation is exactly that. Grounded, honest, and genuinely eye-opening. In this episode: ⭐ Why your star sign is just one tiny piece of your birth chart — and what the full picture actually looks like ⭐ Astrology as a map of opportunities: knowing when to rest, when to act, and when to launch ⭐ Why some full moons floor you and others you don't even notice — and what that says about your personal chart ⭐ Soph's extraordinary story: her daughter's diagnosis in 2021, and the once-in-a-lifetime planetary transit that happened to the exact day ⭐ Every country has a birth chart — and how some astrologers saw major global events coming before they happened ⭐ Why AI gets birth charts wrong in a very convincing way (and why that matters) ⭐ Synastry — comparing two charts, and why Soph's chart says she and her partner shouldn't work together at all ⭐ The word sonder — and how astrology gave Soph a completely different kind of compassion for other people ⭐ Moon journalling as a low-pressure starting point if you're curious but not ready to dive in This isn't a woo conversation about Mercury retrograde ruining your day. It's a thoughtful, warm, and surprisingly moving exploration of one of the oldest tools humans have ever used to understand themselves. Sarah booked a session with Soph before they even recorded.

Exploring Herbology with Katie
Send us Fan Mail What if you've already been dabbling in herbology and didn't even realise it? That cup of peppermint tea, the jar of honey for a sore throat, even the supplements lining your bathroom shelf — there's a whole world of wisdom behind why those things actually work, and most of us have absolutely no idea. This week Sarah is joined by Katie, a herbal medicine student who takes us well beyond Harry Potter potions and into something genuinely fascinating, and occasionally life-changing. Katie's honesty about still being a student, still learning, and still figuring it out herself is part of what makes this conversation so lovely — no pretence, just real curiosity and real results. In this episode you'll hear about: Why your herbal tea probably isn't as potent as you think and the simple trick to fix it Katie's deeply personal story of eczema that pharmaceutical creams and immunosuppressants couldn't clear, resolved through herbal medicine Why echinacea, the herb everyone reaches for when they've got a cold, might not actually help you depending on your own constitution The beautiful, almost magical process of making tinctures — including one herb that goes in yellow and comes out bright red The fascinating crossover between herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, and the idea of your body's essence Why mushrooms are having a real moment right now, and what's actually behind that beyond the latest wellness trend The lovely, accessible way to get a herbal consultation without breaking the bank If you've ever wondered whether there's more to herbal remedies than clever marketing, this episode might just change how you see your spice rack — and your garden. Katie mentioned the College of Naturopathic Medicine student clinics, which run across the UK and offer reduced-rate consultations with herbal students supervised by qualified practitioners - https://www.naturopathy-uk.com/resources/student-clinics/ Curious about EFT tapping?

Exploring Forest Bathing with Annie
Send us Fan Mail Host Sarah Gorev is joined by photographer and nature lover Annie Johnston for a genuinely joyful chat about forest bathing - and fair warning, neither of them are experts. This is two people who love being outside talking about why it makes them feel so much better. And somehow they cover a lot of ground. In this episode you'll hear about: Why our connection to nature is primeval - and what the digital age has quietly done to it The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, why it was coined in the 1980s, and why it can be a lovely walk in the woods Grounding - what it actually is, why Annie had been doing it her whole life before she found out it had a name, and why pigeon poo may occasionally be an obstacle The fascinating science of phytoncides - the chemicals trees release that can actually boost your immune system Why trees communicate with and look after each other through their root systems (it sounds unlikely; it isn't) How going outside for just ten minutes works as a change of state for your nervous system in a way even a cup of tea can't quite match Forest schools, children seeing woods through fresh eyes, and what Sir David Attenborough has to do with any of it The women's business walking group where nobody talked about business once - and why that was the whole point Plus a plant in the wrong place, some owl pellets, and a very good case for borrowing a dog!

Exploring Forgiveness with Jane
Send us Fan Mail What if the thing that's been holding you back — in your relationships, your work, your sense of self — has absolutely nothing to do with anything that's happened recently? And what if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health isn't a supplement, a practice, or a morning routine, but forgiveness? This week Sarah is joined by returning guest Dr Jane Lewis, Huna practitioner and coach, to explore ho'oponopono — an ancient Hawaiian approach to forgiveness that is a very long way from letting people off the hook. Before you decide this one isn't for you, Jane starts by dismantling everything most of us assume forgiveness means. It isn't condoning. It isn't forgetting. It isn't giving your power away to the person who hurt you. It's quite the opposite — and once that reframing lands, the rest of the conversation opens up in ways you might not expect. In this episode you'll hear about: The three grades of offence in Hawaiian tradition — and why all of them deserve to be released What psychologists call the state of not forgiving, and the very real physical impact it can have on the body over time Jane's own deeply personal story of childhood bullying that resurfaced decades later as burnout and clinical depression — and how ho'oponopono was central to her recovery Why the process can be done entirely in your own mind, takes as little as 10–15 minutes, and requires no contact with the person who hurt you How unresolved hurt shows up as patterns — in new workplaces, new relationships, new situations — long after you think you've moved on Forgiveness in grief, and why sometimes the person we most need to forgive is someone we've lost Generational forgiveness — and what happens when the baggage we're carrying isn't even ours to begin with Whether you're carrying something from years ago or simply curious about where this ancient practice fits in modern life, this is a quietly powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked tools for feeling better. Links mentioned in this episode: Huna retreat in the South of France, between Carcassonne and Toulouse, 31st August to 4th September.

Exploring 'Food Freedom' with Jenny
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered why every diet you've tried has eventually failed — even when you were doing everything "right"? This week Sarah chats with Jenny McDonald, the Food Freedom Fairy, and it's fair to say this isn't your typical wellness conversation about food. Jenny's story starts in the eighties — bullied at school, hiding food under her bed, desperate to just feel normal. It travels through decades of diet cycles, a stint working inside the diet industry itself, and arrives at a completely different question: not what are you eating, but why? Because here's the thing Jenny has discovered working with women on their relationship with food — most of them already know exactly what to eat. The missing piece isn't nutrition knowledge. It's understanding the hidden beliefs quietly running the show underneath all of that. In this episode you'll hear about: Why restriction almost always backfires, and what's actually happening in your body when it does The inner child reconnection work that gets to the real reason you reach for food when you're not hungry A muscle testing technique that reveals what your subconscious believes — even when your conscious mind is absolutely certain it's ready to change How the people around you — partners, parents, the friend you always share cake with — are more tangled up in your food story than you might realise Why moving towards something feels so different to moving away from it, and why it matters more than you'd think And if you're thinking "this isn't really about me, I don't have a problem with food" — Jenny's insight reaches well beyond the plate. The lessons here apply to anyone carrying an old story they haven't quite heard yet. Jenny's book The Book the Diet Industry Doesn't Want You to Read (https://amzn.eu/d/ho7gXAt) is a brilliant place to start.

Perfect for: Anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness advice, people tired of optimization culture, those seeking permission to do less not more, listeners curious about ancient practices meeting modern life, anyone wondering if the answer isn't out there but already within.

The Paradox of Choice: Season 3 Reflections
Send us Fan Mail The end of Season 3 already - can you believe it? In this solo episode, host Sarah Gorev reflects on ten incredible conversations exploring everything from ancient Hawaiian Huna to quantum bioenergetic scans, Pilates to Akashic Records, and the question that's been sitting with her throughout: with all these amazing practices and incredible practitioners, how on earth do you choose what's right for you? Because here's the thing - choice is empowering, yes, but it can also be overwhelming. Anxiety-inducing even. What if you pick the wrong one? What if the thing that would've worked for you was the one you didn't choose? After 30 guests across three seasons, Sarah's starting to understand something important: there is no wrong choice. In this reflective finale, you'll hear: * The themes that kept showing up across Season 3 * Why every guest's proof came before their belief * Sarah's honest take on the paradox of choice * How to trust your body over your mind * Why there's no one "right" practitioner * The reality that transformation isn't linear * Practical guidance on choosing without overwhelm * Why sometimes the choice finds you * How small consistent practice beats big sporadic effort Sarah shares her own journey with vulnerability and warmth, weaving in personal EFT examples and the honest reality that with 30 practices explored (and many, many more out there), who has the time, money, or energy to try everything? The answer isn't trying everything. It's choosing from curiosity not pressure, from what your body's saying not what you think you should do, and trusting that even if something doesn't land, it's not wasted time - it's information gathered. Perfect for: Anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness options, people who want to try something but don't know where to start, those who've tried practices that didn't work and feel like they failed, practitioners wondering how to guide clients through choices, or anyone curious about the common threads across diverse healing modalities. This is a warm, reflective finale that honors all ten Season 3 guests while offering honest, practical wisdom about navigating your own wellness journey. No pressure, no perfection, just genuine exploration and the reminder that sometimes it just takes trying something out to choose what's perfect for you. Season 4 coming soon with more incredible guests and amazing techniques! Curious about EFT tapping?

Exploring Akashic Records with Marina
Send us Fan Mail Host Sarah sits down with Marina Beech - Soul Alchemist and Akashic Records practitioner - to explore something Sarah had absolutely no idea about before recording. Even the words sounded strange. But what she discovered was far less woo and far more fascinating than expected. What makes this episode special is where Marina's proof came from. Not faith, not spiritual theory - but a single ten-second moment that dissolved a psychological addiction to alcohol she hadn't admitted to herself, let alone her husband. She still went to the pub that Friday evening. She just didn't want to drink. And hasn't since. You'll discover: * What the Akashic Records actually are * Why Marina believes we now all have the level of consciousness to access our own records with just intention and self-awareness * How a session works * Examples of personal changes achieved * Why it's rarely just one thing - the tipping point philosophy. * How Marina accesses records using pendulum, oracle cards, automatic writing and channelling, all done remotely from the quantum field * Finding trustworthy practitioners * Marina's joyfully practical morning routine * How the records connect to ancestral patterns, outdated vows and contracts we're still unconsciously upholding, and gifts mastered in previous lifetimes sitting dormant in our energetic DNA. This one is a little more out there than some of our recent conversations, and Sarah goes in knowing absolutely nothing. Which is rather the point. Because if proof has to come before belief, Marina's story makes a compelling case. Perfect for: Open-minded sceptics, people feeling held back by things that make no logical sense, anyone curious about past lives or ancestral patterns, spiritual seekers wanting structured practical tools, people who like their woo served with science on the side, or anyone wondering whether something from a completely different lifetime might still be running the show.

Exploring Reflexology with Emma
Send us Fan Mail What if touching your feet could reveal what's happening in your digestive system, your hormones, or your stress levels? In this beautifully honest conversation, host Sarah Gorev sits down with Emma Kelly from EJK Wellness to explore reflexology. What makes this episode special is Emma's vulnerability about her own journey. After being severely unwell following COVID, she spent three years on strong medication in what she calls "the zombie days" - gaining weight, sleeping constantly, still in pain, struggling with brain fog, and relationships suffering. Then came a pivotal moment lying alone on the sofa covered in hot water bottles when she thought: this is not how I want to live my life. That moment changed everything. You'll discover: * What reflexology actually is beyond foot massage * Why it's not about fixing but rebalancing * How Emma reads feet like puzzle pieces * The trust element * Why not all reflexologists are the same and what to look out for * The remarkable breadth of age and life situation that can be helped * How reflexology combines beautifully with massage Emma shares why reflexology works for stress-related conditions (digestive issues, sleep problems, physical tension), hormonal imbalances (conception difficulties, pregnancy, menopause), and chronic conditions. She explains the emotional releases some people experience - tears, feeling like weight's been lifted - and why energy work matters as much as physical technique. Her message: wellness doesn't have to be "bougie." It just has to be non-negotiable. This conversation explores intimate health conversations, reading body signals through feet, the combination of physical and energetic healing, finding practitioners you can trust, and making wellness your priority rather than afterthought.

Exploring Bioenergetics with Chantelle
Send us Fan Mail What if your body isn't just a physical being, but an energetic one? And what if a fifteen-second voice recording could scan thousands of frequency points to find out what's not right? In this mind-expanding conversation, host Sarah Gorev connects with Chantelle French all the way from New Zealand to explore bioenergetics. Chantelle brings years of experience working with frequencies, quantum scans, and energy healing, and her infectious enthusiasm shines through every moment. What makes this episode special is how Chantelle bridges ancient wisdom with modern technology. She's got a background in electronics which helped her understand how frequency work actually operates, but she's still having "wow moments" every single day. That genuine sense of discovery never gets old. You'll discover: * What bioenergetics actually is * How every organ and cell has its own frequency signature and what it means when those frequencies are out of kilter * Why frozen shoulders often connect to emotional burden from specific life events three years earlier * How quantum scanners take the guesswork out * The difference between working with complete skeptics versus advanced spiritual practitioners * Why Eastern cultures immediately understand frequencies, meridians, and chakras while Western cultures often need convincing * Chantelle's secret weapon for powerful healing * Simple biohacking tips It's enthusiastic, occasionally mind-blowing, grounded in real client experiences, and proves that energy work doesn't have to be either/or - it can be quantum physics AND ancient wisdom working together. Perfect for: Frequency-curious beginners, people dealing with unexplained chronic issues, anyone interested in the emotion-body connection, those recovering from trauma the body won't let go of, spiritual seekers wanting to understand energy work, sceptics intrigued by quantum technology, Eastern medicine enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to practitioners who light up talking about their work.

Exploring Pilates with Anne
Send us Fan Mail What if movement is your birthright - and you don't need to be flexible, fit, or wear the latest workout gear to start? In this grounded conversation, host Sarah Gorev reconnects with Anne from Shape It Up Pilates in Rugby - and Anne brings over 30 years of fitness industry experience to share. What makes this episode special is Anne's straight-talking approach. She runs a business, she's busy, and she'll tell you - she doesn't do an hour of Pilates every day. But she knows exactly what matters: the basics, done consistently, that keep you strong as you age. It's the perfect antidote to perfectionist fitness culture. You'll discover: * The surprising origins of Pilates * Why corrections aren't criticism but gifts * The intentional movement principle * How COVID proved online Pilates works perfectly - with camera on and proper guidance * Why Anne recommends starting on the mat (for years!) before moving to equipment - building that essential body awareness * The rehabilitation sweet spot where Pilates works beautifully alongside osteopaths and physios * How stand-up paddleboarding is actually great Pilates exercise - core, balance, breathing, flow, all of it * The truth about posture: we're NOT designed to stay upright all day, variety matters more than perfection * Why women especially need to think about strength as oestrogen leaves - but taking the long view * The accessible reality This conversation explores the practical (how to actually start, what to expect, mat vs equipment) and the philosophical (why slow intentional movement is powerful, how variety beats perfection, taking the long view) with equal depth and honesty. Anne's willingness to share her own imperfect practice - mobility work in the morning, walking for mental wellness, Focus Therapy for listening to herself - is refreshing and real. Perfect for: Pilates beginners wondering where to start, people recovering from injury seeking the rehabilitation sweet spot, women over 40 concerned about maintaining strength, busy people needing accessible movement practices, anyone feeling "not good enough" for fitness spaces, long-distance walkers wanting to build foundations, those seeking honest guidance without perfection pressure, or anyone interested in practitioners who've genuinely learned what works over decades.

Exploring Tai Chi with Cathy
Send us Fan Mail When you picture Tai Chi, you probably imagine elderly people in a park moving slowly through graceful forms. But what if I told you it's actually a martial art taught to the Chinese military centuries ago? In this fascinating conversation, host Sarah Gorev chats with Cathy, who started practising Tai Chi at just 14 years old - making her the youngest person in pretty much every class she's attended. What I love about Cathy is how she combines the scientific with the spiritual, weaving together movement, energy, recovery, and finding peace in the chaos. Cathy shares her remarkable journey from Chinese martial arts at age nine to training intensively in the mountains of China for five to six hours daily. But this conversation goes deeper than technique - it explores what Tai Chi and Qigong actually do for your body and mind. You'll discover: • Why Tai Chi works as meditation for people who don't get on well with meditation • What chi (energy) actually is - and why it's more tangible than you think • How slow movement builds tendons and ligaments, not just muscles • Why Tai Chi improves recovery time for athletes • The difference between Tai Chi and Qigong (and when to use each) • How training in China transformed Cathy's practice • The motorbike crash that led to discovering acupuncture • Why acupuncture brought feeling back after six years of numbness • How one client went from walking 10 minutes to two hours without pain • Why Cathy's classes are the only peace many students get all week This conversation explores how ancient practices are being validated by modern research - from Korean scientists mapping meridian lines to clinical studies showing remarkable results. Cathy explains how these practices work preventatively rather than waiting until our bodies crumble. Perfect for anyone curious about Tai Chi but thinking it's "just for elderly people," people who struggle with traditional seated meditation, athletes looking to improve recovery time, those dealing with chronic pain or mobility challenges, and anyone seeking one peaceful hour a week away from chaos.

Exploring Crystals with Jo
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt inexplicably drawn to pick up a particular stone or crystal? Wondered why certain ones seem to call to you while others don't? In this rich conversation, host Sarah Gorev chats with Joanne Gillibrand from Tree of Life Holistics in Rugby - and Jo brings 26 years of crystal therapy experience to share. Her journey from Catholic upbringing (singing Latin hymns and drawn to ritual) to leading transformative women's circles is as unexpected as it is inspiring. What makes this episode special is how Jo combines the scientific with the spiritual. She explains vibrational frequencies in a way that actually make sense, then moves seamlessly into talking about leading circles where 40 women roar and sing. It's the perfect balance. You'll discover: What crystals actually are and the measurable frequencies in them Why we're "chaos in human form" while crystals remain stable - and what that means for healing The seven main chakras and which crystals correspond to each energy centre How Jo's work evolved from personal curiosity to running Red Tent gatherings and drum circles The concept that stones can hold memory Practical guidance on choosing your first crystal How to spot fake crystals online and what quality indicators to look for The dark side of the crystal industry and why ethical sourcing matters Why Jo's crystal shop consultations last an hour - because it's never just about selling stones Jo also shares her women's empowerment work - creating sacred space where even the most reserved participants in drum circles can't help but join in. She talks about Red Tent gatherings, the power of collective practice, and why buying crystals from her involves a deep dive into what you actually need, not just what looks pretty. This conversation explores the mystical (stone memory, energy work, sacred circles) and the practical (spotting fakes, ethical concerns, quality checks) with equal depth and authenticity. Jo's honesty about the crystal industry - including the rife problem of fake crystals - is refreshing and important. Whether you're crystal-curious, have been collecting for years, interested in women's empowerment circles, or simply want to hear from someone with genuine depth of knowledge, this episode offers something valuable. Jo holds nothing back. It's grounded, honest, occasionally spiritual, and proves that 26 years of experience shows. Perfect for: Crystal enthusiasts seeking deeper understanding, women interested in empowerment circles and Red Tent work, anyone exploring energy healing and chakra systems, people concerned about ethical crystal sourcing, beginners wanting to know how to choose quality crystals, spiritual seekers who appreciate both science and mysticism, or anyone drawn to holistic practitioners with real expertise.

Exploring Oracle Cards with Katya
Send us Fan Mail What if a deck of cards could help you process trauma, rediscover yourself, and find clarity in the most chaotic moments of your life? In this deeply moving conversation, host Sarah chats with Katya McEwen from My Divine Downloads about oracle cards - but this isn't your typical "how to read cards" episode. This is raw, honest, and profoundly human. Katya's journey with oracle cards begins with a shocking incident when she was 19 that made her abandon cards entirely for 25 years. Fast forward to 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine - Katya, who is from Ukraine with family still there, found herself frozen in fear. None of her professional tools worked - not her mindset coaching certification, not her hypnosis training. That's when she turned back to oracle cards, and eventually created five decks in one month using AI imagery to process shadows she couldn't reach any other way. This conversation goes deep into unexpected territory. You'll discover: • What oracle cards actually are and how they differ from tarot • Why Katya sees them as self-reflection tools rather than divination • The four questions to ask when pulling a card • How to use cards without relying on guidebooks • The powerful concept of "the card as mirror" • Surprising connections between oracle cards, hypnosis, and visual anchors • How creating your own oracle deck can be transformational • Why "asking for a sign is already a sign" Katya does a live card pull for what listeners need to hear right now, shares her journey from identity crisis to self-discovery through shadow work, and explains her philosophy that oracle cards don't tell you what to do - they reflect what's already inside you. We also explore claircognizance (the gift of just knowing), how Katya combines oracle cards with AI imagery and hypnosis work, the importance of visual anchors, and her practice of asking "how do you want to feel today?" as a daily anchor. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt drawn to oracle cards but wasn't sure where to start, anyone processing grief or trauma, creative souls looking for new tools, or simply curious about how self-reflection practices can support healing and transformation. It's vulnerable, practical, and deeply inspiring. Katya's courage in sharing her story about war, identity crisis, and devastating loss while still showing up to help others is extraordinary. Perfect for: Anyone interested in oracle cards, tarot, self-reflection tools, processing trauma or grief, creative healing practices, hypnosis, AI and creativity, shadow work, intuitive development, or simply hearing honest conversations about transformation.

Exploring Infrared Technology with Seth Casden
Send us Fan Mail What if the clothes you wear and the sheets you sleep on could actively support your body's natural healing processes? In this fascinating conversation, host Sarah chats with Seth Casden from Celliant about infrared technology embedded into everyday textiles - and no, this isn't science fiction. It's science fact. Seth shares his journey from being an amateur athlete dealing with a stubborn shoulder injury to discovering infrared saunas and eventually meeting someone developing a way to harness infrared light through fabric. That was 25 years ago, and the technology has evolved to the point where you literally can't tell the difference between a Celliant garment and a regular one - except your body can. You'll discover: • What infrared light actually is • Why you can't see it but your body responds to it • How minerals embedded in fabric absorb your body's heat and convert it back to beneficial infrared light • Why improved circulation affects everything from sports performance to sleep quality • The surprising connection between grip strength and longevity • How this technology went from sports performance to bedding to potentially car seats and aeroplanes! • Why Seth's socks became a talking point at trade shows (hint: dry feet, no odour, better circulation!) This conversation explores the science of blood flow and circulation, how infrared wavelengths interact with our bodies at a cellular level, and why something invisible can have such tangible effects. Seth also discusses the clinical trials and research behind Celliant, including their classification as a Class 1 medical device in the EU and UK. What makes this episode special is how accessible Seth makes complex science. He uses relatable examples to explain how infrared fits into the spectrum of things we can't see but know are there. Whether you're an athlete looking for performance gains, someone dealing with poor circulation, struggling with sleep quality, or simply curious about wellness technology that doesn't require changing your routine, this conversation offers genuinely useful insights. It's practical, science-backed, and surprisingly straightforward. No hype, no unrealistic claims - just clear explanation of how harnessing your body's natural heat and converting it to infrared light can support circulation, thermoregulation, recovery, and sleep. Links mentioned in the show: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethcasden/ CELLIANT: https://shopcelliant.com/ Perfect for: Anyone interested in sports performance and recovery, sleep quality, circulation issues, wellness technology, biohacking, evidence-based complementary therapies, or simply curious about innovations in textiles and health.

Exploring a Performer's Perspective with Mat
Send us Fan Mail What does performing do for wellbeing of the person on stage? In this moving conversation, host Sarah Gorev chats with Mat Ricardo - a cabaret and variety performer who's been entertaining audiences for nearly 40 years - about something most of us never consider: how being on stage actually supports his wellbeing. Mat shares his remarkable journey from being a shy, stuttering kid locked away in his bedroom to becoming a confident performer. But here's the twist - he didn't just learn to perform. He deliberately constructed a version of himself that helped him exist in the world! You'll discover: • Why the stage became Mat's unexpected safe space - the place where he feels most in control • How creating one version of yourself can transform all the other parts • What happened when Mat received his autism diagnosis three years ago • The concept of "masking" and why unmasking is such profound work • His beautiful pre-show ritual • Why distraction isn't shallow - it's actually a collective mindful moment • The "fantastic weirdos" backstage who became his chosen family Mat also talks about his brilliant new book "The Magic in You" - what his publisher called a "stealth help book." Disguised as a guide to circus tricks, magic, and comedy, it's actually teaching kids about dealing with failure, handling bullying, building friendships, and understanding mental health. (And yes, it includes how to pick locks!) This conversation explores creativity, identity, neurodiversity, and finding wellness in surprising places. Mat's honesty about the autism diagnosis being the beginning of a journey (not the end) and the work of figuring out which parts of yourself are there to make others comfortable will resonate far beyond the neurodivergent community. Whether you're interested in the creative process, curious about how we construct the versions of ourselves we need to be, or simply want to hear a genuinely different perspective on wellness, this episode offers something special. It's warm, honest, occasionally funny, and proves that safe spaces show up in the most unexpected places. Perfect for: Anyone interested in creativity and wellbeing, neuro-diversity, autism, performing arts, personal transformation, or simply hearing real conversations about finding your own path to wellness.

Exploring Huna with Dr Jane
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever thought you'd dealt with something from your past, only to discover there were deeper layers you hadn't touched? What if the wounds you think you've healed are still affecting you energetically? In this fascinating conversation, host Sarah Gorev speaks with Dr Jane Lewis about Huna - an ancient Hawaiian practice that nearly disappeared from history but holds profound wisdom about healing, forgiveness, and energy work. Jane shares her compelling personal journey from clinical depression and corporate life to discovering a practice that revealed what she thought she'd processed... hadn't been dealt with at all. Not on the deepest level. You'll discover: • What Huna actually is (hint: it's so much more than one practice) • Why these spiritual practices were banned and illegal until the 1970s • How childhood trauma can be "dealt with" mentally but still hold you back energetically • Why Jane travels to Hawaii twice a year to continue learning this work • An introduction to ho'oponopono - Hawaiian forgiveness Jane explains how Huna encompasses energy healing, guided meditation for emotional release, and techniques for resolving both external conflicts and internal dilemmas. She shares extraordinary stories - from faith healing a compound fracture in days to discovering prenatal addiction through craniosacral therapy - that challenge our logical understanding of what's possible. This episode is perfect for anyone who: • Feels like they've "done the work" but something still isn't shifting • Is curious about energy work beyond the mainstream • Wants to understand how ancient practices are being validated by modern science • Is open to exploring forgiveness in a completely different way What makes this conversation special is Jane's background - she's a self-described "left brain person" who initially resisted everything energetic, even while experiencing it firsthand. Her journey from corporate consultant saying "I don't believe in energy" to teaching Hawaiian spiritual practices offers a relatable bridge for the curious skeptic. Whether you're already exploring alternative wellness or completely new to these concepts, this honest discussion offers genuine insights into a practice that has quietly supported wellbeing for centuries - and is now being shared more widely after nearly being lost forever. Perfect for: Anyone interested in energy healing, ancient wisdom, Hawaiian spiritual practices, forgiveness work, trauma release, complementary therapies, or wondering why past experiences still affect them.
