Interviews with Innocence

My name is Marla Hughes. I have worked with children my entire life. I have a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology. I have worked in the pediatric transplant unit at UCSF Hospital in San Francisco, teaching children about exercise, good nutrition and relaxation. I also worked at the Center for Attitudinal Healing with its founder, Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, using art and music therapy to help young children who had life threatening diseases or who had a parent or loved one who was severely ill. My greatest teachers, however, have been my children. I have never experienced a love that deep or profound. I created this podcast because I am intrigued by how children can help us reconnect with our spiritual selves. I believe the young are our teachers; after all they are the masters of living in the moment, enjoying the messiness of life and curious about the universe in all it's dimensions. They are not concerned with ego or comparisons. These young souls enter life with driblets of heaven clinging to them, still in touch with their memories of past lives and the people and places they had known before. I want to explore and share this wisdom.

    Healing Beyond Borders: Dr. Katie Deming’s Transformative Path from Oncology to Spiritual Guidance

    In this deeply moving episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla Hughes engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Katie Deming, a former radiation oncologist and founder of The Conscious Oncologist. Known for her pioneering approach that bridges traditional and integrative medicine, Dr. Deming shares her journey from practicing Western medicine to embracing a holistic, spiritual path centered on the soul’s innate power to heal. Her story is one of transformation, beginning with an early calling to medicine and deepening through her experiences in hospice care, where she witnessed moments of grace, love, and spiritual insight that forever changed her perspective on life and death. Dr. Deming reflects on her time working with terminal patients, including the life-altering experience of holding a patient as they passed. This moment catalyzed a shift, opening her eyes to the beauty and mystery of the end-of-life transition. She shares her journey of becoming a “conscious oncologist,” including her spiritual awakening and encounters with the divine, which redefined her understanding of medicine, healing, and death. Marla and Dr. Deming delve into her use of ceremonies to honor patients, her interactions with trauma and yoga therapists, and even a shamanic drumming ceremony in which she felt the presence of a departed patient’s spirit—experiences that reinforced her belief in the afterlife and opened up her own intuitive gifts. This episode touches on her decision to step away from Western medicine, driven by a calling to help people prepare for death with acceptance, presence, and dignity. Dr. Deming discusses her thoughts on the shortcomings of traditional Western medicine and the importance of integrating wisdom from diverse healing traditions. She also shares deeply personal insights, such as her encounter with the spirit of Mother Teresa, who taught her how to “walk patients home” as they transitioned, an experience that remains close to her heart and guides her work to this day. Dr. Deming’s work with patients extends beyond physical healing to nurturing their spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. She speaks passionately about using her intuition responsibly, ensuring that her spiritual gifts are shared in a way that honors each patient’s needs. As she reflects on her role as a healer, Dr. Deming offers wisdom on embracing life’s full journey and passing this understanding to younger generations—empowering them to live with an awareness of life’s continuity and beauty. Join Marla and Dr. Deming for this illuminating conversation, as they explore topics from spiritual awakenings to the art of holding space for life’s final moments. This episode offers transformative insights into health, healing, and the unseen dimensions of life, reminding us of the profound impact of compassion, presence, and spiritual connection in the journey toward true well-being.

Jeffery’s story is one of unimaginable loss, resilience, and spiritual awakening following a tragic automobile accident that claimed the lives of his wife and youngest son. Despite suffering multiple life-threatening injuries himself, including the loss of his left leg, Jeffery’s journey to recovery has been nothing short of miraculous, both physically and emotionally. Join us as Jeffery shares the deeply transformative experience of his near-death encounter (NDE), where he had a powerful conversation with his deceased wife, Tamara.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jeffery discusses how gratitude, which he sees as the highest vibration, has shaped his life and allowed him to heal. He also shares the invaluable lessons his children have taught him, and his unique perspective on the world today. In the second part of the episode, we delve into Jeffery’s exploration of indigenous cultures and shamanism. Discover how his study of these ancient practices helped him find solace and make sense of his profound NDE. We will explore the magic of connecting with Mother Earth, the light and the darkness, and how indigenous ceremonies and rituals have been healing for Jeffery’s soul—offering a spiritual connection that transcends religion. This episode is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of spirituality.
