The Raising Sage Spiritual Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Meranda Squires. We explore her path into this work, from being introduced to meditation at a young age, to traveling to India, and the years of practice that now shape how she holds space through The Lotus Centre. There’s a groundedness to the way she shares that comes from lived experience. This conversation moves through self-inquiry as a practice you return to, coming back to your direct experience and allowing what’s there to be seen more clearly over time. We talk about dyad work and how it supports that process through presence, witnessing, and honest reflection. She also speaks about the ego in a real and relatable way. The voice that questions your worth, pushes you to do more, or tells you you’re not enough. Rather than trying to get rid of it, we explore what it means to become aware of it, to recognize the patterns, and to choose not to move from that place. We move into karma yoga, service, devotion, and what it looks like to walk a spiritual path in your everyday life. How this work shows up in your relationships, your choices, and the way you meet yourself. This is a grounded and honest conversation for anyone who feels drawn to deeper self-understanding and a more direct relationship with themselves.

In this episode, I sit down with intuitive visionary artist Dominique Hurley for a conversation on creativity, intuition, and what it means to allow something to move through you. We explore the different ways her work comes to life, from intuitive painting, where she begins without a plan and allows each layer to reveal what wants to emerge, to visionary pieces that come through as flashes of imagery or feeling that she then translates onto the canvas. Dominique shares how she experiences her art as something that comes through her, not from her, and what it looks like to trust that process in real time. We also talk about her newest collection and the pace of inspiration, what it feels like when ideas arrive faster than you can physically create, and the shift from feeling pressure to keep up, into allowing the work to unfold in its own timing. There’s a deeper thread woven throughout the conversation around readiness, how her paintings tend to find people at specific moments in their lives, and what people come to discover within themselves when they spend time with her work. Dominique also shares about her intuitive painting process, which she has made accessible through free resources on her website for anyone who feels called to explore their own creativity in this way. This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with your intuition, trust what you’re receiving, and allow it to take shape in a way that feels true for you.

This episode opens Season 2 of the podcast with a conversation that moves through voice, sound, discernment, and truth as lived experience rather than concept. Jessica and Kat explore how authenticity functions as protection, how speaking from truth naturally organizes the field around us, and why clarity can feel activating or triggering in environments where self-expression has been restricted. The conversation touches on resonance, energetic boundaries, self-reflective love, and the subtle ways the body responds when something true is spoken. The episode closes with a powerful transmission shared by Kat. A moment meant to be felt rather than understood. One that invites the listener into resonance, balance, and remembrance beyond words. As the year turns, this episode marks a shift in the direction of the podcast. Season 2 will hold more space for collective questions, social realities, and conversations that ask us to listen more deeply to ourselves, each other, and the world we are moving through together. Listen with your body. Let what resonates stay. IG: @kat_kahulani

In this episode, Jess sits down with poet, musician, and Sisterhood of Mū council member Sunni Leilani for a deeply heartfelt conversation about voice, spiritual practice, creativity, and the courage to live in alignment with who you truly are. Sunni shares pieces of her journey — practicing Buddhism in her early twenties, rising in silence, ringing her bell to open space, honoring the rituals that keep her grounded, and letting her background shape the way she creates. Together they explore embodiment, intuitive expression, spiritual hygiene, and why leadership becomes effortless when you choose to fully include yourself in your own life. This is an episode about remembering your voice, trusting your path, and allowing your presence to teach through example.

This episode features Amy Rezek and Charlie Wade, the first spinal energetics practitioners in Newfoundland. We explore the somatic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of this powerful modality and how it supports deep healing through the nervous system. Spinal energetics is a body-based practice that blends Eastern and Western wisdom. It works with the spine as both a physical and energetic channel, helping the body unwind stored tension, trauma patterns, and protective responses that were once needed for survival. Amy and Charlie explain how the body communicates through movement, breath, shaking, sound, and subtle energetic shifts — and why none of it is random. It’s the nervous system reorganizing itself, reconnecting pathways, and remembering safety. They talk about: • what actually happens inside the body during a spinal energetics session • the difference between subtle shifts and larger somatic releases • how the sound activations speak to the energetic body instead of the mind • understanding trauma responses and why the body expresses the way it does • creating safety, coherence, and connection within the nervous system • the role of the heart, intuition, and the higher self in somatic healing • why no two sessions are ever the same • their journey into this work and how it changed their lives • the future of group sessions, retreats, and community healing in NL This episode is for anyone who is curious about somatic therapy, energy work, trauma release, nervous system healing, or the deeper spiritual language of the body.

She introduces her angelic framework for soul healing — CPR: Caring, Practice, and Reclaiming — and how it helped her resuscitate her own spiritual heart after years of self-abandonment.

She shares how her spiritual gifts, like weaving light, receiving Hawaiian water chants (aloha mele), and lightning-assisted energy clearings, emerged through connection with nature, ceremony, and inner stillness.

In this episode, Jess connects with movement educator, DJ, yoga instructor, and creative force Lea Coultas to talk about what it really means to start over and to finally show up as your full self. Lea shares the story of her spiritual awakening: from living a life that looked “right” on the outside — the marriage, the government job, the house — to facing deep depression, leaving it all behind, and rebuilding from the inside out. We talk about fear, people-pleasing, creativity, intuition, and the slow (and sometimes scary) process of reclaiming your voice. Lea doesn’t sugarcoat the work, but she shows how transformation is possible when you stop performing and start listening to yourself. Whether you’re in the middle of a big shift, reconnecting to your truth, or just trying to be more of who you really are.. this one is for you.

There are some conversations that feel less like interviews and more like a remembering. This was one of those. Joan Dohey is a retired teacher, a Reiki and Rahanni practitioner, and someone who has spent years learning how to work with energy — not just as a healer, but as a highly sensitive person navigating a noisy world. In this conversation, she shares her journey with so much honesty, humour, and clarity. Nothing performative. Nothing polished. Just the truth of her experience. We talk about what it means to be deeply empathetic. To carry other people’s emotions. To be told you’re “too sensitive” or “too weird,” and still find your way back to yourself. Joan opens up about the health crisis that led her to energy work, the tools that keep her grounded, and the quiet confidence that comes from finally trusting what you’ve always known. We also talk about spiritual hygiene, intuitive development, and how to hold your alignment even when no one else really gets it. This episode isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about what happens when you stop hiding your gifts and start making peace with who you are.

Twenty years ago, Leslie Bridger had a near-death experience that she now calls her "rebirth day." But this episode isn’t just about that moment — it’s about everything that came before and after. Leslie shares what it looked like to live a life that was successful on the outside but misaligned at the core, and how a series of breakdowns — including a life-threatening accident — ultimately became the doorway to remembering who she truly is. We talk about the cost of pushing through, the power of stillness, the courage it takes to choose a different way of being, and the quiet knowing that lives inside all of us when we’re ready to listen. This conversation is a soft, strong reminder that healing doesn’t have to wait for a crisis. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still feel disconnected… this one is for you.

What does it mean to train for a fight — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and culturally? In this episode, we talk with national champion martial artist Hady Ghoneim about the deeper layers of combat. We go beyond technique and tournaments to talk about discipline as a way of life, how cultural identity shapes the way we move, and the moments in life where fighting back means standing still. Hady shares how martial arts helped him develop not only strength, but a strong sense of self — and how he’s learned to navigate identity, aggression, humility, and focus. It’s part fight story, part philosophy, and fully grounded in real experience.
