Your Radiant Spirit

What would you do if a doctor gave you three months to live — with a newborn at home? Meagan Price was 27 years old, freshly postpartum, when a rare secondary complication from her MS medication crossed the blood-brain barrier and began destroying the brain's gray matter. The prognosis was terminal. Her response? "Fuck that. Here we go." Over the next seven years, Meagan studied more than 200 healing modalities across the globe — from Medical Qigong to Sámi shamanic practice in Finland — and fully reversed her MS symptoms. Today she is a certified Medical Qigong Doctor, Reiki Master Teacher, and founder of Healing Thyme, a wellness practice in Provo, Utah. Her son is now seven. She is thriving. In this episode, we explore the ancient roots of all healing, the profound difference between guilt and shame, the three pillars of wellness, and what meditation actually means — from someone who does it seven hours a day. What You'll Discover in This Episode: MS at 21, PML at 27: what a terminal diagnosis looks like — and the mindset that changed everything Medical Qigong as "the mother modality" — the ancient lineage that underlies almost every healing art Why Reiki traces directly back to the Qigong lineage (and what Usui Sensei actually studied) How emotions cause physical reactions — and what it means to be "in integrity" with your body The most important distinction in healing: guilt ("this is bad") vs. shame ("I am bad") Why "shoulding" yourself is the most common form of self-inflicted guilt — and how to stop The three pillars of all healing: Purge, Tonify, Regulate Why the lungs are your integrity center in Traditional Chinese Medicine — and what three deep breaths actually do The truth about meditation: it's not what you think, and you can do it 24/7 Why 1 minute of meditation = 5 minutes of sleep (Stanford research) How Meagan went from sleeping 12+ hours due to MS fatigue to meditating 7 hours/day with boundless energy Meagan's Offers & Resources: 🌿 Use code HEALYOU20 for 20% off intuitive sessions (in-person & virtual): healingthymeutah.com ✨ Use code ELEVATE20 for 20% off the upcoming Reiki Course: healingthymeutah.com 📸 Instagram: @healing_thyme_ut Note: Transcript references website as "healingtimeutah.com" and Instagram as "@healingtime" — official links above are from her guest form.

What does it take to rebuild a life — and a self — from the ground up? Martha Glory Kartaoui spent the first 26 years of her life inside a religious cult, where every aspect of her existence was controlled: her name, her food, her relationships, her thoughts. She experienced profound physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and sexual abuse. And when she finally escaped at 26, she entered a world she had no tools to navigate. In this deeply moving episode, Martha shares her extraordinary journey from cult survivor to trauma healer — how her body began breaking down in her early 30s, how a single line in a somatic healing class changed everything, and how 14 years of dedicated healing work transformed not only her body but her identity, her faith, and her purpose. What You'll Discover in This Episode: What life inside a religious cult is actually like — and why you often don't know you're in one The unexpected reason Martha found the courage to escape: wanting to be an auntie How chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, and GI issues led her to discover somatic healing and The Body Keeps the Score What it means to heal an identity that was never truly yours to begin with Martha's powerful story of finding her way back to faith — and the moment she felt held by God for the first time Why she released over 100 pounds in 12 years (and it wasn't about diet) How her gift as an intuitive healer and massage therapist became part of her healing path The Unbound trauma healing event and The Collective — her communities for people ready to take their next step Why "alone is a choice" — and the one thing she wants you to know if you're carrying trauma Martha's Resources & Offers: 🌟 Unbound — In-person trauma healing event, August 21-23, Raleigh, NC: unboundcommunity.com 💜 The Collective — Weekly trauma healing group, Mondays at 7:00 PM: unboundcommunity.com 🌐 Martha's website: letgloryshine.com 🔗 Additional healing resources: trauma-x.org 📲 All of Martha's links: lnk.bio/MarthaGloryKartaoui Connect with Heather: 🌐 heathereck.com 📸 Instagram: @heatherartist ✨ Spirit Portraits are opening up!

What if the key to a more radiant, connected, and fulfilling life lived in the quality of your conversations? In this powerful episode, Heather sits down with Cheri Torres, PhD, and Jackie Stavros, DM — co-founders of the CWH Institute and co-authors of the bestselling book Conversations Worth Having — to explore how a simple but revolutionary framework called Appreciative Inquiry can transform the way we communicate with ourselves and with others. These two brilliant collaborators have spent decades discovering that the quality of our conversations — with others, and with ourselves — is literally the key to human potential, well-being, and connection. And what they share in this episode is something every one of us needs right now. What You'll Discover in This Episode: What Appreciative Inquiry ("the other AI") actually is — and how it emerged from groundbreaking research at the Cleveland Clinic The 5 D's framework: Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver Two foundational practices: generative questions and positive framing The "flipping" technique to move from what you don't want to what you actually desire Why pausing, breathing, and tuning in before you speak can transform every interaction MSU — Making Stuff Up — and how to stop letting imaginary conversations drain your energy How every conversation either moves us toward or away from what we want (no neutral ones!) Why asking generative questions of yourself is the hardest — and most transformative — practice How these conversations help us move from fear-based relating to love-based connection Resources Mentioned: 📘 Conversations Worth Having by Cheri Torres & Jackie Stavros — available in print and audio 🌐 Website: cwh.today 🎓 CWH Foundations Course ($49 on-demand) — Use code RADIANTSPIRIT for 30% off: conversationsworthhaving.today/foundations 🎁 Free Conversation Toolkit: conversationsworthhaving.today/toolkitform Virtual and on-demand boot camps, certified trainer program, organizational training available at cwh.today Connect with Cheri & Jackie: 🌐 Website: cwh.today 🔗 Cheri on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cbtorres 🔗 Jackie on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jackie-stavros-0b45824 📸 Jackie on Instagram: @jackie_stavros 👤 Jackie on Facebook: facebook.com/jacqueline.stavros Connect with Heather: 🌐 heathereck.com 📸 Instagram: @heatherartist

What does it take to start a business while going through chemotherapy? For Brigitte Cutshall — storyteller, creative strategist, multiple-time cancer survivor, and host of the Real Things Living podcast — the answer was: curiosity, humor, and the conviction that she still had something valuable to offer the world.

In this deeply moving episode of Your Radiant Spirit, host Heather Eck sits down with Sarah Dawkins — Holi stic Health and Healing Coach, Registered Nurse of 20+ years, international speaker, and author of Heal Yourself — to explore the radical idea that the body holds the blueprint for its own healing. Sarah’s journey from a hospital nurse giving out pills to a multi-award-winning holistic health coach is one of the most honest and inspiring stories you’ll hear. It began with a dark night of the soul that lasted three years, a challenge to everything she believed about medicine, and a quiet walk outside where she first looked up at the buds on the trees and realized something had shifted.   The Four Pillars of Health & Healing (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional) — and why most people only address one or two Why people-pleasing is actually a trauma response rooted in the inner child’s need for unconditional love How Sarah secretly practiced Reiki on post-surgery patients in the hospital — and what their heart monitors showed Why Sarah believes 99% of all chronic illness has an emotional underpinning What self-healing from MS, cancer, Lyme disease, and autoimmune conditions have in common — according to the guests on Sarah’s podcast The truth about manifestation: why visualization without action and emotion doesn’t work How to begin reparenting your inner child and releasing the emotional weight you’ve been carrying “Until we deal with the emotional pillar, we’re only treating the surface. The root is almost always in what we’ve been carrying emotionally.”   Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker, and the author of Heal Yourself.

What if the most healing thing you could do today is simply sit down with someone and listen to their story? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, host Heather Eck sits down with Pam Uzzell — Oakland-based documentary filmmaker and host of the podcast Art Heals All Wounds — for a conversation that is equal parts inspiring, honest, and quietly urgent. Pam has spent her career telling the stories that need to be told: stories of Black high schools before desegregation, of climate and community, of theater groups transforming lives in women’s shelters and with incarcerated youth. And now, through her podcast, she is creating space for artists, creatives, and storytellers to share how their work heals not just themselves — but the people around them. This episode is a reminder that art is not a nice to have. According to the book Your Brain on Art, art and culture turned us into humans. Without it, we don’t thrive. And as Pam so beautifully demonstrates, neither do we thrive without each other.  In this episode you'll hear; How Pam went from studying semiotics in college to making award-winning documentaries — and why she says documentary filmmaking felt like a calling    The Theater Lab program “Life Stories” — and how helping people perform their own stories transforms how they move through the world Why Pam believes conversation is the last true way we have to understand each other The community film screenings bringing people together in theaters to watch, talk, and reconnect What a group of teenagers called the Luddites did when they swapped their smartphones for flip phones — and what it says about what we’re all craving      The profound difference between social media likes and real human connection Why Heather’s two-week artist residency in France reminded her what creative community truly feels like How just 15 minutes of any creative activity lowers cortisol, calms the nervous system, and shifts your state       The arts funding cuts threatening the projects and organizations that heal communities — and why it matters   “Art and culture turned us into humans. It is not a nice to have — it’s a must have. Without it, we don’t thrive.”   Pam Uzzell is an Oakland-based documentary filmmaker and the host of the podcast Art Heals All Wounds. With a background in semiotics and film sound production, Pam discovered her true calling in documentary storytelling — sitting with people, drawing out their stories, and presenting them to the world in a way that illuminates both individual lives and collective history. She has made four documentaries, including a widely praised film about the Black high schools of Malvern, Arkansas before desegregation, which aired on Arkansas Public Television. Through her podcast, she continues to explore how creative work heals people, builds communities, and reminds us of our shared humanity.   Podcast: Art Heals All Wounds Website: pamuzzell.com   Website & Art: heathereck.com Color Healing Creative Workshop Series: $77/month — every third Sunday.

In this uplifting conversation, Heather Eck sits down with Kim Duff Selby, a former fashion director at Glamour Magazine and Saks Fifth Avenue who has reinvented herself again and again throughout life. At 64, Kim launched a podcast, returned to acting, began modeling, and became a certified yoga instructor. Her story is proof that purpose doesn’t have an expiration date. Together, Heather and Kim explore how confidence, creativity, and intuition can guide us back to the parts of ourselves we may have forgotten along the way. Kim shares how decades in the fashion industry helped her understand women’s confidence, self-esteem, and self-expression—and how she now helps women rediscover their inner spark, especially in midlife and beyond. This conversation is full of warmth, laughter, and honest reflection about what it means to follow the nudges that lead you back to joy.

What if your body isn’t “broken”… it’s trying to tell you the truth? In this episode, Heather sits down with Amy B. Scher (Hay House author + energy healer) for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, fear, and what it really takes to heal when you’ve tried everything. Amy shares her 10-year journey through chronic Lyme, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, including the moment she realized the missing piece wasn’t “out there” anymore. Together, Heather and Amy talk about the deep stress that comes from living out of alignment, the “lies” we tell ourselves (sometimes daily), and why healing isn’t just insight… it’s action. This one is for you if you feel stuck, exhausted, or like your body has been trying to get your attention for a long time. Why “I’ve tried everything” can be a turning point (not the end) The difference between awareness and real change How fear quietly runs the show (and what it costs your body) Amy’s question that gets to the truth fast: “What have you been lying to yourself about?” Why energy techniques help… but still require action How healing can become a “healing hole” and what to do instead The connection between stress, alignment, and physical symptoms The power of community and collective intention (Fearless Living Collective) “If you’re treating the body and the body isn’t getting better… maybe the body isn’t the whole issue.” “You can’t get away with lying to yourself. Your body is the biggest truth-teller.” “The techniques help you release enough emotional baggage so you can do the thing you actually need to do.” “The mind leads, and the body follows.” Amy B. Scher is a Hay House author and energy healer known for her practical tools that help people release fear, emotional baggage, and stuck stress patterns so they can heal and move forward. She’s the author of How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can, and the creator of the Fearless Living Collective, a membership community for people committed to living with less fear and more truth.

In this powerful episode of Your Radiant Spirit, intuitive artist Heather Eck sits down with trauma coach and former Broadway tap dancer Heather Ann Ferri for a deeply moving conversation about healing from childhood trauma, the role of creativity in recovery, and the power of reclaiming your intuition and voice. Heather Ann shares her extraordinary journey—from being a Guinness World Record–holding tap dancer shaped by the mentorship of the legendary Jimmy Slide, to becoming a transformational coach who blends ancient sciences, energy work, and spiritual guidance to help clients heal C-PTSD and generational trauma. We talk about: The impact of childhood abuse and generational trauma Healing the inner child as a gateway to intuition, creativity, and prosperity The power of movement, brain protocols, and water in trauma recovery How the body holds unspoken stories—and how to release them Building a new avatar: emotional, physical, and energetic transformation The role of spiritual mentorship and the Divine Masculine in healing ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes mentions of childhood trauma, abuse, and sexual assault. Please listen with care. Resources & Links: wr3ofk3vPP0sJJXXPLvz

In this expansive and deeply affirming conversation, Heather sits down with Julia Stapleton, a mindset and consciousness mentor, intuitive artist, and former tech professional who now works at the intersection of energy, art, and quantum consciousness. Julia shares her powerful spiritual awakening and how her background in technology and physics helped her understand something many struggle to articulate: everything is frequency, and frequency carries information. Together, Heather and Julia explore how intuition, art, and embodiment allow us to decode what our logical minds can't always grasp and how tuning into a desired frequency can collapse timelines, activate healing, and support aligned manifestation. This episode is a beautiful meeting point of science and spirit, logic and creativity, structure and flow. In this episode, we explore: What it means to feel frequency rather than see it How art can act as a transmission that activates change in the body and DNA Why manifestation works when it feels like a memory, not a wish The difference between wanting something and being in the experience of it How timelines collapse when the body and nervous system are on board Using intuition and creativity to bypass the analytical mind Why healing and transformation don't require understanding, only resonance How personal artwork can support emotional and physical shifts Julia also shares a powerful personal story about using frequency-encoded artwork to release chronic pain, plus insights into how intuition communicates through dreams, sensation, sound, and inner knowing. If you're someone who: Feels deeply but struggles to explain how you know Uses creativity as a form of healing or guidance Is curious about manifestation beyond hustle or mindset work Wants language for experiences you've already had This conversation will feel like coming home.

In this episode, we explore: How chronic stress quietly becomes "normal" and how yoga helps you recognize it What trauma-aware yoga actually looks like and why it matters The connection between stress, cortisol, and inflammation Why gentle yoga can be more powerful than pushing your body Small, sustainable changes that support nervous system regulation How digital overwhelm and environmental inputs affect your body Simple daily practices to bring calm back into your life Why healing starts by meeting yourself exactly where you are Michelle also shares practical, approachable steps you can start today, including movement, rest, nutrition, and environmental shifts that support long-term wellbeing without extreme rules or burnout.

Some conversations feel like a warm permission slip. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Becca Shaw of Ember Healing, a holistic healer, Akashic Records coach, divination reader, and teacher. And if you've ever wondered, "Okay… what even ARE the Akashic Records?" Becca breaks it down in a way that feels grounded, practical, and honestly kind of fascinating. We talk about the Akashic Records as your soul's "energetic library," how Becca helps people access their own records (not just get a reading), and what can shift when you finally understand where a block really started. If you've been craving clarity, direction, or that deep inner "click"… this one is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What the Akashic Records are (and why Becca calls them your soul's library) How Becca guides you into your own records instead of only "telling you what she sees" Why imagination is not "wrong" here, it can be part of the bridge What it's like to work with your guides (loving… and sometimes a little blunt) A powerful client story: how a career block led to a past-life vow and a real-world breakthrough Why your records might show up as a library… or a cottage… or even screens instead of books How Becca teaches clients to access their records on their own over time Her weekly Live at Five and what she's building on YouTube If this episode hits you, ask yourself: Where do you keep "blaming" one moment in your life… but you can feel it goes deeper? What would change if you had real clarity about the root of your pattern? Are you ready to trust what you already know, but haven't fully owned yet? Guest spotlight: Becca Shaw (Ember Healing) Becca is a Holistic Healer, Akashic Records Coach, Divination Reader, and Teacher who blends experience, intuition, and compassion to support transformation and self-discovery. Born in England and now based in Canada, she's been connected to spirituality since childhood, and she brings a calm, supportive presence that helps clients feel safe while they go deep.

What if you weren't broken, stuck, or behind — but in the middle of remembering who you are? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I'm joined by Lauren Pearlingi, an intuitive human design and business guide, trauma healer, Reiki and Theta healing practitioner, meditation coach, author, speaker, and founder of The Mermaid Light. Lauren and I have one of those conversations that feels both grounding and expansive. We talk honestly about trauma, survival mode, intuition, and what it really means to move from victim to victor — not through force or hustle, but through self-trust, awareness, and energetic alignment. This episode is for you if: You've done "the work" but still feel stuck or shut down You sense there's more to who you are than what you've been taught You want practical ways to listen to your intuition without overthinking it You're craving healing that honors both the nervous system and the soul In this conversation, we explore: What survival mode actually looks like (and how to know if you're still in it) Why being triggered doesn't mean you're failing — it means something is asking to be seen How human design can support healing, decision-making, and self-trust in a real, usable way The difference between learning your worth and remembering it Why your trauma isn't your fault — and why your healing is still your responsibility How intuition speaks before the mind gets loud What it takes to create a life and business that honors your energy, not fights it Lauren also shares powerful client stories, her own journey through anxiety, relationships, and self-worth, and how safe spaces and community can become catalysts for deep healing.

We tried to record this episode three times… and honestly, I'm glad we did. Because this one turned into the kind of conversation you normally only hear before the official recording starts. I'm sitting down with my friend Deb Eckerling, known as The Book Proposal Expert (and also the creator of the DEB Method for goals). We start with a quick, energetic color reading (hello, yellow and identity shifts), and somehow that opens the door into a deep, practical conversation about: claiming your expertise focusing your message why you don't need to write the whole book first how a book proposal actually works (and why it matters) If you've been holding a book idea in your heart, this episode will help you stop circling it and start shaping it. In this episode, we talk about: A quick color reading for Deb and what "yellow energy" can signal (identity, confidence, visibility, self-trust) Why your next level usually requires a tighter identity, not more hustle Deb's story: how the DEB Method was born (and why it works) The truth about the publishing path: agent → publisher → editorial board What a book proposal really does (it makes the case for your book) The 3 proposal pieces Deb says matter most: Overview (why this book needs to exist) Audience (who will buy it) Comp titles (what it's similar to + why it's different) Why your query letter deserves the same energy as the book itself A simple homework prompt if you "know you have a book in you" but can't name it yet Behind the scenes moments you'll love: We basically said: "No more pre-chat. Hit record." We connect dots between color, identity, and visibility in a way that feels both spiritual and super practical. Takeaways you can actually use this week. If you're listening and thinking, "I want to write a book… but I don't know where to start," do this: Start one living document called: "My Book Notes" 2–3 times a week, brain-dump: stories you keep telling client patterns you notice beliefs you teach on repeat phrases that feel like "your thing" Then do a quick title/market scan: find strong books in your category from the last ~5 years ask: How is mine similar? How is mine different? What's my one-line twist? And if you're feeling "stuck in your head," borrow this from our color moment: Sit with yellow (visualize it, place yellow flowers near your workspace, or just notice where it shows up) Ask yourself: Who am I now? Who am I becoming? How do I want to be known? Guest spotlight: Deb Eckerling Deb Eckerling is a goal strategist, author, and book proposal coach who helps thought leaders turn powerful ideas into book proposals that sell. She's the creator of the DEB Method (Determine your mission, Explore your options, Brainstorm your path) and the founder of The Book Proposal Expert, where she teaches a clear, grounded roadmap for getting your message into the world without making it miserable.

What if the parts of you that feel confusing, exhausting, or "too much" are actually clues to your soul's design? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with Vicki Meigs, a master teacher, soul alignment coach, numerologist, and vibrational healer, for a powerful conversation about self-alignment, energetic truth, and coming home to who you really are. Vicki shares her journey from public education to soul-centered work, including the moment her body demanded she slow down and listen. Together, Heather and Vicki explore how numerology offers more than insight, it offers permission. Permission to soften. Permission to trust yourself. Permission to stop living by someone else's definition of success. In this episode, you'll hear: How numerology reveals your energetic blueprint and soul purpose Why so many high-achieving people still feel unfulfilled The difference between self-care and true self-alignment How your ruling number can act as a "heart compass" for decisions Why your body often knows the truth before your mind does A simple heart-centered breathing ritual to restore clarity and calm This conversation is for you if you've done "everything right" and still feel like something is missing, or if you're ready to stop outsourcing your inner knowing and start trusting what's already within you. If you'd like to connect with Vicki beyond today's conversation, you can find her on Instagram, where she shares monthly energy forecasts, practical numerology insights, and guidance for navigating spiritual awakening in real life. She also offers a six-week, in-person awakening experience in Raleigh, called Awakening: Shifting the Frequency in the Field, beginning this February. It's designed for those who are spiritually awakening and don't want to walk this part alone — with a strong focus on integration, nervous system coherence, and living your awakening in real life. **If you're not local, or you feel called to gather your own people, Vicki also creates online and community-based awakening fields. You can simply reach out and explore what's possible — it only takes 6 people to open a field! Coming soon, she's opening a year-long coaching and field-based mastermind called Soul-Led: The Art of Embodied Awakening for those who are ready to fully integrate their awakening into their lived life.

In this special episode, I'm joined by transformational speaker and resilience mentor Alethea Felton — and this conversation is extra fun because we interviewed each other for our shows. Alethea and I talk about what it means to return to yourself after seasons of struggle, how to rebuild trust in your own voice, and why resilience isn't about pushing through — it's about alignment, healing, and truth. You'll hear us explore: how Alethea moved through chronic illness, grief, and a lifelong stutter the moment she realized she wasn't made to just "endure" — she was made to transform how to reconnect with your inner compass when life feels out of sync the role of intuition, creativity, and spiritual awareness in real healing what leadership looks like when it comes from wholeness, not burnout If you're a mid-life woman, a leader, or someone who looks successful on the outside but feels lost on the inside, this episode speaks right to you.

Anthropologist-turned-healer Bob Vetter shares how decades with Indigenous elders—and a life-changing story from a Comanche medicine man—shaped his path from academic study to hands-on healing. We talk about vision, story as medicine, curanderismo, energy work, and Bob's framework for helping people move from calling to an ethical, grounded healing practice. In this conversation, we explore how your soul's whispers can become a trustworthy path. Bob Vetter traces his journey from seventh-grade meditation and Eastern philosophy to ethnographic fieldwork in Oklahoma, where he was adopted into Native families and mentored by elders.

In this solo episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I share how what looks like "housekeeping" – for your studio, your calendar, your nervous system – is really spiritual housekeeping. We explore how carving out one intentional hour of creation every day shifts everything, how art is more than decoration (it's healing), and how my own business containers are evolving to meet the deeper work of transformation. What You'll Hear Why discipline becomes devotion when you show up consistently for your creative practice ("just me and my paints … whatever wants to come through"). The moment I was vacuuming this week and inspiration for a holiday novella popped in — and what that teaches about clearing space for creativity. How making art slows your nervous system, softens your body, and reconnects you with places that words can't touch. An update on my business: The Color Club has become the Color Healing Academy, and my Therapeutic Art Journeys are now 4 months long. I'll walk you through what that means for you. A special invitation: DM me COLOR on Instagram to receive a free Color Insight Session — and how you can join the journey. Key Insights & Highlights "When we show up consistently for our creative practices, we're really showing up for ourselves." "Art doesn't just decorate life; it restores it." The shift from color conversation → color transformation. Why extending the container from 3 to 4 months makes space for integration, embodiment and alignment, not just release.

Heather and Rose first met when Heather was a guest on Rose's podcast, Chat Off the Mat - and then Rose received a Spirit Portrait—an intuitive painting that captured her essence in vibrant golds, pinks, and magentas. That portrait became the spark that inspired her to write Empress Rising, a guidebook for women stepping into their sovereignty and embracing midlife as a portal of power rather than a time of decline. Together, they've gone on to co-create the 12 Days of Holiday Healing Giveaway, infuse Reiki and color into a collaborative Oracle deck, and support countless women in awakening to their own light.

Whether you've been feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand your emotions on a deeper level, this conversation will help you turn frustration into fuel — and reconnect with your body's innate wisdom. 🎨 In this episode: What anger reveals about your emotional and energetic state How The Secret Language of the Body explains anger's connection to the liver Using the Emotion Wheel to uncover what's beneath the anger Color healing to restore balance: red → green, turquoise, and silver-blue Guided color meditation for emotional release ✨ Work with Heather: If you're ready to release what your body's been carrying and uncover what your colors are trying to show you, learn more about The Art of Becoming at heathereck.com/workwithme. 🎧 Listen to Your Radiant Spirit on your favorite podcast platform or at https://pod.link/1769224190.

Welcome back to Your Radiant Spirit! In this heartfelt solo episode, Heather Eck shares a powerful story about how God showed up at her very first fine art fair in Cary, North Carolina—and delivered a message she couldn't ignore.

In this solo episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck unpacks how old emotional patterns get stored in the body as energy blocks, and how you can finally release them. Heather shares her signature "Here → There" transformation framework — moving from feeling stuck, numb, and disconnected to becoming grounded, clear, free, and aligned.

Sometimes the way forward doesn't look like a straight path — it looks like a detour, a delay, or even a dead end. In this bite-sized solo episode, I share a recent moment that stopped me in my tracks: a lost song, an unexpected lyric, and a painting I created years ago that suddenly made sense in a whole new way. Through a dream of a hummingbird, a message about separation from God, and a gentle reminder in music, I explore how the wrong turn might actually be the sacred turn — and how the way you thought was "lost" could be exactly where God makes a way for you. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, feeling rerouted, or just need reassurance that you're still on the right path, this story is a reminder to trust the invisible path beneath your feet. ✨ Highlights from this episode: The unexpected lyric that shifted my perspective The story behind my painting You Make a Way for Me How dreams and color carry divine messages Why the detour might actually be the destination If something in today's episode stirred something in you, consider this your invitation to pause, breathe, and create space for your own soul's guidance.
