From Cult Survivor to Trauma Healer: Reclaiming Identity, Body & Faith with Martha Glory Kartaoui

How to Manifest What You Want: Intuition, Clear Vision & Manifestation Techniques with Atlantis Wolf

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want… is knowing what you actually want? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, intuitive artist and spiritual guide Heather Eck sits down with Atlantis Wolf — Usui Reiki Master, ordained shamanic minister, master breathwork facilitator, medical massage therapist, and 15-time Amazon #1 best-selling author — for a conversation that will change the way you think about manifestation, intuition, and decision-making. After the death of her mother sparked an identity crisis, Atlantis left her corporate engineering career and stepped into a life of healing work — and she's since guided more than 3,500 women through career pivots, weight loss, financial breakthroughs, and radical self-discovery. Her core message? Most women don't know what they want — and learning to dream a clear, specific, emotionally charged vision is the real work of manifestation. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why a "shamanic death" (divorce, job loss, grief, identity shift) is often the doorway to your next chapter * The "order counter of the universe" — why specificity is the key to manifestation * Atlantis's journaling technique for uncovering your limiting beliefs ("I want ___, but I can't have it because…") * Why writing by hand is more powerful than typing when setting a vision * How Atlantis manifested $38,500 in 8 days, $5,000 in 3 days — and helped clients do the same * How she lost 85 pounds by asking her body one simple question * Devotion vs. discipline: reframing healthy habits without shame * Why "you can't make a wrong decision" — and how indecision, not wrong choices, keeps you stuck * The head-heart connection: how expansive thoughts signal love and contracting thoughts signal fear * Why your dream should scare you — and force you to ask for help Memorable moments: * Heather shares the story of receiving a major corporate promotion and her first art show invitation on the same day — and how her body knew which path was hers * Atlantis walks Heather through a live manifestation exercise for her dream: a solo art exhibition in New York City * The "35,000 decisions a day" truth about burnout, and the permission slip you need to take a day off and refill your cup About Atlantis Wolf: Atlantis Wolf is an intuitive teacher, healer, and global retreat leader devoted to helping women over 50 reclaim their power, clarity, and joy.

Why Your Body Holds Emotional Trauma: Kristine Genovese on Bioenergetics and the Soul Intelligence Method

What if every ache, blockage, or chronic condition in your body is actually stuck emotional energy trying to get your attention? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with Kristine Genovese — corporate turnaround specialist turned energy healer and creator of the Soul Intelligence® Method — to explore the science and spirituality behind bioenergetic healing. Kristine shares the story of the sudden 2020 layoff that redirected her life, breaks down how stuck emotional energy shows up as physical symptoms, and walks through real client stories — from a sacral chakra clearing that restored a client's period, confidence, and business leads overnight, to her own reversal of a cervical cancer scare through energy work and reclaiming her divine feminine. The conversation covers chakras, self-limiting beliefs, generational and past-life energy patterns, and why Kristine believes "the future of medicine is frequency." About the Guest Kristine Genovese is the creator of the Soul Intelligence® Method, a bioenergetic healing system that helps identify and release the emotional root causes of physical, mental, and energetic imbalance. A former corporate turnaround specialist, she left the corporate world in 2020 and now serves as Chief Growth Officer for Nutritional Frontiers while training healthcare providers, coaches, and healers as certified Neuroenergetic Health Practitioners through her evergreen certification course. She is the author of Healing Through Soul Intelligence®, available on Amazon, Audible, and Barnes & Noble, and recently completed her "Soul in the City" book tour, including a Times Square billboard. In This Episode * Kristine's abrupt 2020 corporate layoff and the "nine months of grace" that led her to leave corporate America for good * What the Soul Intelligence Method is, and how it evolved from a book-of-charts-and-pendulum practice into a modality used with executives, doctors, and functional medicine practices * The science lens: electromagnetic fields, the HeartMath Institute's research on the heart's field vs. the brain's, and why emotion is "energy in motion" that gets stuck in the body * Bioenergetics (Dr. Alexander Lowen) and why 95% of what doctors treat today are chronic, unresolved conditions rooted in unaddressed emotional causes * The five root causes of illness Kristine sees most: chronic stress, environmental toxicity, poor nutrition, lack of movement, and genetics (which she connects to a person's life purpose) * How Kristine works with functional medicine doctors and their staff/patients, including a session with a chiropractor and a physician who each had spontaneous emotional releases * A sacral chakra clearing story: a client got her period back, restored intimacy with her husband, and landed three new client leads within 24 hours * Kristine's own healing journey: growing up with an alcoholic father, the "not good enough" belief that fueled her career and sabotaged her relationships, and reversing a cervical cancer scare through reconnecting with her divine feminine * A story about clearing "unsupported men" energy that resolved a five-month foot injury for a healthcare provider client * Live in the moment: Heather and Kristine explore what Heather's own sudden foot issue might be pointing to * The Soul Intelligence certification course, free monthly group sessions, and how the method treats time, past lives, and generational patterns * Kristine's closing message: "Self-care isn't selfish, it's sacred" — healing yourself ripples out to raise the collective consciousness Memorable Quotes "Emotion is supposed to be energy in motion. When it pools, it gets stuck in the body, and that's when it causes dis-ease, dysfunction, or dissonance." — Kristine Genovese "There is always an underlying emotional root cause to every dis-ease in the body, even if it's something simple." — Kristine Genovese "Self-care isn't selfish, it's sacred. When you choose to heal you, you are having an impact on humanity." — Kristine Genovese "Einstein said the future of medicine is frequency." — Kristine Genovese Resources & Links Mentioned Book: Healing Through Soul Intelligence® by Kristine Genovese — Amazon, Kindle, Audible, Barnes & Noble Website & course: soulintelligencemethod.com Free monthly group session: Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Eastern (through end of year) Instagram: @kristinemgenovese Books referenced: The Body Keeps the Score; The Secret Language of Your Body by Inna Segal Concepts referenced: HeartMath Institute research; bioenergetics (Dr. Alexander Lowen); Game Changing Index assessment Connect with Heather Eck Website: www.heathereck.com [www.heathereck.com] Instagram: www.instagram.com/heathereckartist [www.instagram.com/heathereckartist%20] Call to Action If this episode moved something in you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, leave a review, and subscribe so more people can find these conversations.

From Terminal MS Diagnosis to Thriving: Medical Qigong, the Mother Modality & the Three Pillars of Healing | Meagan Price

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 [https://www.healingthymeutah.com/], 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 [https://www.healingthymeutah.com/] * ✨ Use code ELEVATE20 for 20% off the upcoming Reiki Course: healingthymeutah.com [https://www.healingthymeutah.com/] * 📸 Instagram: @healing_thyme_ut [https://www.instagram.com/healing_thyme_ut] Note: Transcript references website as "healingtimeutah.com" and Instagram as "@healingtime" — official links above are from her guest form.

From Cult Survivor to Trauma Healer: Reclaiming Identity, Body & Faith with Martha Glory Kartaoui

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!
