Death, Dying & Past Lives with Dawn Grace Kelly

How much of your life is quietly shaped by fear — especially the fear of death? What if understanding death more deeply could help you live more fully?   In this deeply expansive conversation, I’m joined by Dawn Grace Kelly, New Zealand’s most experienced Past Life Regression Therapy Trainer, to explore death, dying, and the soul’s journey beyond this lifetime. Death is something many of us fear, avoid, or struggle to speak openly about. Yet it is the one experience guaranteed for every one of us. We open the conversation around what happens as we die, how our unresolved emotions, thoughts and feelings are carried with us and how our relationship with death shapes the way we live. We also dive deeply into the powerful healing modality of Past Life Regression. We explore why revisiting a past life is profoundly healing and why this work is so potent in reducing fears especially around death. This conversation isn’t dark or morbid — it’s deeply human, comforting, and ultimately about learning how to live with greater awareness, peace, and openness. If you’re curious or fearful about death, the soul, and what happens when we die, this conversation is for you.   Interested in experiencing a Past Life Regression?

It's Not A Malfunction - Menopause as a portal, not a problem to fix

What if menopause isn’t something to fix — but a process of unravelling to let go of what no longer serves you? In a culture so quick to medicate, what do we miss when we don’t pause to listen to what the body is asking? Perimenopause and menopause have become huge topics of conversation — but often in a very narrow way. So much of what we hear is fear-based and focused on managing symptoms… what to take, what to do, how to make it easier, how to avoid discomfort. But what if that’s only a small part of a much bigger picture — one that includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this transition? In this episode, Leila and I explore menopause through a wider lens — one that sees the body not as something failing, but as something adapting, shifting, and responding to a lifetime of experiences, patterns, and pressures. We talk about how this stage of life is influenced by the life you’ve lived up to this point and why reflecting on the past, processing unresolved experiences, and letting go of what you’ve been carrying are such an important part of the process. This isn’t about dismissing medical support — far from it. It’s about complementing it and opening up the conversation to look beyond symptom management and beginning to ask — what is this phase of life asking of us?

Tension Tells Stories - Fascia, Feelings and the patterns that shape our pain with Physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak

What if your pain isn’t something to fix — but a story waiting to be heard? If you’re living with chronic pain or recurring injuries, have you ever considered the emotional connection? In this episode, physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak and I challenge the way we’ve been taught to understand pain. We explore how tension, fascia, and posture aren’t just physical — they’re shaped by your nervous system, your emotions, and the life you’ve lived. We dive into why healing isn’t always about doing more physical rehab, but about understanding the relational, emotional, and deeply human aspects of what your body is holding. If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring pain, tightness, or patterns that don’t quite make sense, this conversation will help you see your body in a whole new way.

Breaking the Cycle - Navigating Staying Together or Separating Well with Kimberlee Sweeny

Are you reacting to your partner… or to something much older?   What if relationship conflict isn't failure but the doorway to growth?     In this episode I’m joined by Kimberlee Sweeny, New Zealand’s first certified divorce and separation coach. Together we explore relationship conflict and the ways our past quietly shapes our present relationships.   We talk about how unprocessed wounds show up in adult partnerships, and why doing the inner work leads either to a healthier relationship… or the clarity and courage to leave.  This conversation is ultimately about responsibility, growth, and breaking cycles — so that what we carry doesn’t become what our children inherit.  If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or how to navigate either path in a healthier way, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate perspective.    What you don’t process you may pass on.   Emotional Release Coaching supports you to navigate relationship conflict.

The Body Speaks - Understanding Emotional Anatomy

What if your body isn’t malfunctioning — but communicating?   How would your relationship with your symptoms change if you could understand them?    In this episode, I’m joined by Linda Garvin to explore the powerful topic of Emotional Anatomy - the language of the body and the way our soul speaks to us through physical sensations and symptoms to show us where we are out of alignment.  Linda’s journey into this work is a beautiful bridge between science and energetics. Together, we explore how to interpret the body’s messages; uncovering what different areas may be communicating, and why symptoms are invitations rather than obstacles.  We talk about the metaphors we use every day and how they reveal the deep connection between emotion and physiology.  This conversation is an invitation to shift from trying to fix or silence your symptoms… to listening and interpreting.  Because the body speaks long before the mind is ready to understand.    Curious to understand what your body might be communicating?  Download your FREE Body Pain Self-Inquiry Guide Here [http://www.thewholesomewave.com/bodypain]  So you can start to interpret what it’s telling you.   Curious to explore your symptoms?   Podcast Listeners get 10% off a 60min online Breakthrough Session with the link below.  Book Your Discounted Session Here [https://calendly.com/emilybrewer/podcast-discount]     To connect with Linda Garvin and find out about her Authentic Alignment & Heart Led Healing -  Linda Garvin [https://subscribepage.io/MjTb5e]  @lindagarvin.ie Linda offers - Energetic Healing Sessions Authentic Alignment Sessions Community Workshops Practitioner training & support
