The Spiritually Active Podcast

My guest this week is my dear friend Erica Martin. Erica is a grounded healer with cosmic vision - serving as a nurse blending evidence-based wisdom with ancient energy practices. Rooted in the rhythms of the Southwest, she's guiding those who are seeking to rediscover balance, vitality, and their own inner clarity. Erica is a sound practitioner, breathwork facilitator, and reiki practitioner, and has started to blend these techniques with her day-to-day nursing career. She is a quiet force—intuitive, nurturing, and fiercely dedicated to truth without the fluff. Simplicity is her power. Healing her art. With 20 years in the medical field and background in holistic cancer care and infusion she has witnessed the decline of the false healthcare structures in place, and is determined to help more and more people advocate for themselves when it comes to their own care. In this episode we discuss: the pandemic as a turning point for her perspectives on health and what we will continue to see as a result of this strange time for society why we call it "practicing medicine"rather than "knowing medicine" why treating the whole person is more important than just treating the body or the symptoms of the body how we all have the power to advocate for ourselves when it comes to our health, and some practical ways to do that Want to get connected with Erica?

My guest this week is my new found friend and biomagnetic master, Greg Mesterhazy. Greg's journey began in post-socialist Hungary, where he grew up fast, juggling school and construction jobs, even stepping in to run his father's business during high school exams. After bouncing between sociology, psychology, and economics at top universities, he moved to the U.S. to work in international sales, then transitioned into the tech world, managing complex digital projects and global teams. Outwardly, he was thriving; inwardly, he was unraveling. Years of burnout, unexplained health issues, and emotional wounds led him to biomagnetism, sparking a transformation that conventional medicine couldn't offer. Leaving behind a toxic spiritual group and a high-paying career path, he committed fully to healing, first his own body and then others'. Today, as a California-based holistic practitioner, Greg blends systems thinking with deep intuitive insight to help clients reclaim their vitality, clarity, and self-trust. In this episode we discuss: what biomagnetism is and how it can help us heal ourselves how one "problem" our body might be experiencing can serve as a greater reflection of our inner universe why a combination of feeling and direct scientific feedback are important as we advance new healing technologies the importance of honoring others exactly where they are Want to get connected with Greg?

Hello Friends! My name is Caitlin, and I am so excited to finally share this podcast with you! The Spiritually Active Podcast was created from the idea that health & wellness is not just physical. Oftentimes, we are asked about how physically active we are, or even if we are sexually active - but never have I been asked "Are you spiritually active?" I want this podcast to be a space to share the different spiritual modalities and tools that the Universe has to offer us, and to dispel the idea that spirituality is a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe that through deeper connection to our soul, we can be the happiest, healthiest version of ourselves! Happy listening, see you every Monday with more woo woo fun!
