EP. 45 Relationship Intelligence: The Missing Skill That's Changing Everything with Railey Molinario

What if healthy relationships aren't something you're born knowing how to create—but something you can learn? In this episode, Naz sits down with Railey Molinario to unpack the real skills behind thriving relationships. Together, they challenge the myth that constant fighting is a sign of passion, explore why communication, trust, and emotional safety matter more than chemistry, and discuss why so many people were never actually taught how to build healthy partnerships. Railey shares practical tools that anyone can implement—from weekly relationship check-ins to aligning on core values and embracing differences instead of trying to eliminate them. They also dive into the changing landscape of modern relationships, including why women now initiate the majority of divorces and what that reveals about evolving expectations around love, fulfillment, and connection. Whether you're single, dating, married, or simply looking to improve your relationships at work or in everyday life, this conversation is packed with actionable insights that can transform the way you connect with others. Plus, Railey shares how you can continue learning through her free masterclass and coaching resources. If you've ever wished relationships came with an instruction manual, this episode is a great place to start.

EP. 44 75 and Thriving: The Power of Bioenergetic Medicine with Dr. Joan Borden

What if healing involved more than treating symptoms?  In this episode, Naz sits down with Dr. Joan Borden to explore the powerful role bioenergetic medicine can play alongside traditional healthcare. After surviving a devastating accident that left her with multiple serious injuries, Joan combined surgery, rehabilitation, and bioenergetic practices to support her recovery—ultimately regaining her mobility, strength, and independence. Together, they discuss the connection between energy, physical health, and emotional wellbeing, as well as why true healing often requires us to become active participants in our own care. Joan shares practical self-care techniques she teaches clients to help them move energy, build awareness, and support their healing journey between sessions. The conversation also explores aging, vitality, abundance, and the mindset shifts that allow us to continue growing at every stage of life.  If you've ever been curious about energy healing, holistic wellness, or what it truly means to thrive as you age, this episode is for you.

EP. 43 What If Your Pet Has Been Communicating With You All Along? w/ Jerzy Jung

What if your pet has been trying to talk to you all along? In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with animal communicator, Reiki practitioner, and grief educator Jerzy to explore the emotional and energetic connection between humans and their animals. After the loss of her father to cancer, Jerzy found herself on an unexpected path that led her from a career in music to helping people deepen their relationships with their pets through intuitive communication. We discuss what animals are really trying to teach us, how they often mirror our emotions, and why they deserve to be seen as intelligent, loving members of the family. We also dive into the often-overlooked grief that comes with losing a pet, how animal communication can help families prepare for end-of-life transitions, and why honoring that grief is such an important part of healing. Whether you're curious about intuitive communication, navigating pet loss, or simply love animals, this episode offers a powerful perspective on connection, compassion, and the wisdom our pets may be sharing every day. IN THIS EPISODE: ✨ Jerzy's journey from music to animal communication ✨ How animals communicate energetically with humans ✨ The emotional lessons our pets teach us ✨ Supporting families through pet loss and grief ✨ What happens during an animal communication session ✨ Why validating animal grief matters Connect w/ our Guest:  Website: https://www.thatgirlthattalkstoanimals.com/ [https://www.thatgirlthattalkstoanimals.com/] Instagram: www.instagram.com/thatgirlthattalkstoanimals [http://www.instagram.com/thatgirlthattalkstoanimals]   Keep in Touch: • ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/goddess_unleashed_]: Follow us on to stay connected and share your thoughts on today's episode. www.instagram.com/goddess_unleashed_ • ⁠⁠Facebook Group⁠⁠ [www.facebook.com/groups/nspurrier]: Join our private group  for more insights, discussions, and support on your manifestation journey. www.facebook.com/groups/nspurrier •⁠⁠ Newsletter⁠⁠ [https://nazanin-spurrier.mykajabi.com/emaillist]:  to get exclusive content, updates, and offers straight to your inbox. https://nazanin-spurrier.mykajabi.com/emaillist [https://nazanin-spurrier.mykajabi.com/emaillist]   Don't Forget to Rate & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate and review the podcast on your favorite platform.

EP. 42 Stop Shrinking. Start Being Seen. w/ Lola Love

What if the thing you've spent your whole life trying to tone down is actually the exact thing that makes you magnetic? In this episode, Naz sits down with visibility strategist and activator Lola Love to talk about what it really means to be seen; not the polished, curated version of you, but the full, unapologetic expression of who you are. Lola believes that expression is the work. That healing doesn't happen when we hide, perform, or perfect ourselves. It happens when we allow ourselves to be fully expressed. Through photography, videography, personal branding, and visibility strategy, Lola helps women step into their bigness and stop apologizing for taking up space. We dive into why so many women have been conditioned to believe they're "too much," how that conditioning impacts business and visibility, and why the very qualities you've been trying to suppress may be the reason people are drawn to you. We also talk about her unique Magnetic Aesthetic Framework, which blends personal style with astrology to help women create a visual presence that feels deeply authentic rather than performative. Inside this conversation, we explore: ✨ Why expression is a healing practice ✨ The real reason visibility feels unsafe for so many women ✨ How your "too muchness" becomes your greatest asset ✨ The power of having someone hold up a mirror to your gifts ✨ Personal branding that actually feels like you ✨ Using your story, strengths, and energy to create magnetic content ✨ How style can become a tool for self-expression and embodiment If you've ever felt like you needed to be smaller, quieter, more polished, or more acceptable to be successful, this episode is your permission slip to take up space.
