S2E7|The Power of Astrology, Sex & Releasing Shame with Shamelessly Sexy Jackie

Are you ready to ignite your authentic self, shed shame, and truly understand the divine connection between sexuality, spirituality, and your birth chart? Jackie Golob, known as Shamelessly Sexy Jackie, joins me for a conversation that blows the lid off shame around sex, astrology, and spirituality. A former certified sex therapist turned holistic astrologer, Jackie shares her own journey from clinical practice into astrology as a tool for healing sexual trauma and reclaiming pleasure. We talk about how your birth chart can reveal the roots of sexual shame, why so many women (and men) hide parts of themselves to feel accepted, and what it actually looks like to release shame and step into intimacy without apology. Jackie breaks down how astrology and spirituality work together as a path to sexual healing, self-discovery, and owning your full, authentic self. If you're ready to heal your relationship with intimacy, understand your birth chart on a deeper level, and break free from the shame that's been running the show, this episode is for you.

S2E6| The Healing Power of Art, Symbolism & Shadow Work with Leslie Burke

What if creativity isn't just something we do, but a pathway to healing? In this episode of The Woo Woo Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lesley Burke, LPC, ATR-BC, to explore the connection between art therapy, symbolism, shadow work, trauma healing, and nervous system regulation. Lesley shares how Hurricane Katrina unexpectedly changed the course of her life, leading her from being a professional artist to becoming a licensed therapist and board-certified art therapist who helps others use creativity as a tool for healing. We also discuss her experience participating in MAPS psychedelic-assisted therapy research and training, and how that work expanded her understanding of trauma, creativity, and the healing process. Whether you're a therapist, artist, or simply curious about your own creative process, this conversation invites you to see creativity as more than self-expression. It can become a powerful tool for self-awareness, reflection, and transformation.Key Takeaways * Creativity can become a gentle pathway for healing when words are difficult to find. * Symbolism often reveals emotions, beliefs, and parts of ourselves that are ready to be seen. * Shadow work invites us to approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment. * Healing can happen through both conversation and creative expression. * Supporting the nervous system creates more space for creativity, resilience, and self-awareness. * You don't have to be an artist to experience the healing power of creating. The process itself is where transformation often begins.

S2E5 | Embracing Spirit and Healing with Amber Thuston, LPCC

Prepare to be inspired by Amber Thuston, LPCC, founder of Healing with Amber, where grief therapy and spiritually integrated support come together to create space for deep healing and transformation. Amber's work blends evidence-based clinical care with psychospiritual practices, offering grief counseling, spiritual counseling, evidential mediumship, intuitive tarot guidance, and community education. Her practice is rooted in compassionate, culturally aware care, with a special focus on supporting BIPOC women navigating loss, life transitions, and the search for deeper meaning. In our conversation, Amber shares her personal journey through grief, the unfolding of her mediumship, and what it means to reclaim her authentic self while honoring both her clinical training and spiritual gifts. We explore the importance of ethics, discernment, community, and trusting your own inner wisdom as you walk a path that is both practical and deeply magical. Whether you're a therapist, a healer, or someone finding your way through loss and transformation, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't ask us to choose between science and spirit—it invites us to honor both. Key Takeaways * Amber shares the prophetic experience surrounding her grandfather's passing and how it became the catalyst for embracing her gifts as a medium and healer. * Healing doesn't have to choose between evidence-based therapy and intuitive practice. Amber explores how integrating both creates space for deeper transformation. * Learn about Amber's psycho-spiritual grief model: Acknowledge, Embody, Reconnect, Integrate, and Transform—a compassionate framework for moving through loss. * From mediumship to therapy, Amber discusses why strong boundaries, mentorship, and humility are essential for anyone doing spiritual or healing work. * We explore questioning inherited beliefs, honoring ancestral wisdom, and creating a spiritual practice that feels authentic rather than performative. * Amber speaks candidly about imposter syndrome, self-trust, and embracing the dark night of the soul as an invitation to deeper self-love, community, and personal evolution.

S2E3 | The Many Deaths and Rebirths That Made Me

Some stories don't start with a breakthrough. They start with just getting through moments in life, one step at a time. This is part of mine. In this episode of the Woo Woo Therapist Podcast, I am not holding back on the journey I have walked through, which includes childhood trauma, domestic violence, guiding my daughter through her own healing, along with many different health crises that brought me to my knees, and ultimately cracked me wide open. Every loss, every ending, every version of me that had to die — this episode is about what those deaths made possible. Raw, real, and full of hard-won wisdom, I'm sharing for the first time. In this episode: * Growing up in survival mode — what it did to my body, my nervous system, my sense of self * Leaving a dangerous relationship — and why "just leave" was never that simple for me * Holding my children through their own pain while barely holding myself together * The health crises — and my son's cancer diagnosis — that cracked me open and led me to my spiritual awakening * How witchy practices, intuition, and ritual became central to my own healing * Why I now dedicate my life to walking alongside others in their healing journey Connect With Kathleen: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/woo_woo_therapist/ [https://www.instagram.com/woo_woo_therapist/] Email: hello@kathleenstark.co [hello@kathleenstark.co] Website: https://www.kathleenstark.co/ [https://www.kathleenstark.co/] Join the Conversation: If you're a witchy or woo-woo therapist, energy practitioner, professional tarot reader, astrologer, and/or mediumship who'd like to be a guest on the show, I'd love to have you on the show.
