186 | Your Soul’s Story: Past Lives, Akashic Records, and Ancestral Healing with Leyla the Healer

What if the challenges you face today didn’t begin in this lifetime? What if the patterns, wounds, and fears that keep resurfacing are echoes of your soul’s past? In this fascinating and deeply healing conversation, Emily sits down with Leyla Bavi — also known as Leyla the Healer — a licensed therapist, hypnotherapist, Reiki master, and global intuitive who bridges psychology, spirituality, and ancient energetic modalities. Together, they explore the profound world of Akashic Records, past life regression, ancestral healing, and the collective awakening that’s unfolding across humanity.Emily and Leyla also dive into the intersections between mental health and energetic healing; how depression, anxiety, and chronic burnout can stem from unresolved karmic and ancestral wounds. They explore the soul-level reasons we choose certain life paths, parents, or challenges, and how understanding these deeper truths can bring liberation, compassion, and wholeness. Leyla shares powerful stories from her practice, including how the Akashic Records can shift timelines, free stuck energy, and even impact future generations.This conversation goes beyond spirituality as a concept.
