Happy Hour For The Spiritually Curious Podcast

What happens when curiosity is allowed to lead the conversation? Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious explores the questions many people are asking but few feel comfortable discussing openly: intuition, consciousness, energy, healing, spiritual experiences, personal transformation, and the deeper patterns shaping our lives. Hosted by Dr. Sandra Marie, nurse, clinician, Reiki Master, and lifelong student of both science and spirituality, the podcast brings together thoughtful conversations with healers, researchers, intuitives, authors, and experiencers from a wide range of perspectives. This is not a show about telling you what to believe. It's a space for exploration. A place where curiosity matters more than certainty, discernment matters more than dogma, and spiritual ideas are examined through the lens of real life. Whether you're questioning, awakening, recalibrating, or simply curious, you're welcome here.

    You're Not Behind—You're Looking at Time the Wrong Way

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if the pressure you've been feeling isn't about time... but about the way you've been taught to think about it? Most of us live by clocks, calendars, deadlines, and milestones. But what if time isn't something we're running out of? What if changing our relationship with time changes the way we experience life? In this conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie and Marie Major explore the idea that time may be less linear than we've been taught and more like a spiral, inviting us to return, remember, and experience life differently. Together we discuss:  Why so many people feel like they're falling behind  The difference between living in loops and living on the spiral  How inherited beliefs shape our personal timelines  The connection between manifestation, trust, and divine timing  Why making peace with where you are creates space for what's next  The Eternal Now and the power of presence  Moving from forced action to inspired action  Releasing control without giving up responsibility  The role of humanity, nature, and collective consciousness in personal transformation Whether you're navigating uncertainty, questioning old identities, or simply wondering if life is unfolding the way it's meant to, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on trust, timing, and possibility.

    What Happens When You Stop Forcing Life? Learning to Trust the Process

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What are you tolerating that is quietly shaping your life? A sticky drawer. A chipped bowl. A room that feels heavy. A schedule that keeps telling your body there is never enough time. Sometimes the things draining us are not dramatic. They are ordinary, repeated, and easy to ignore. In this conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie and K. Margaret Solorio explores the connection between our inner world and the spaces we live in, and why creating more ease may begin with noticing what we have learned to tolerate. This episode moves beyond home energy clearing into a deeper question: What if your environment is not just where you live, but part of how you live? We explore: • why ease can become a practice instead of a reward • how small changes in your home may shift your mood, energy, and nervous system • the emotional weight of clutter, unfinished projects, and objects we no longer choose • why people often believe growth has to be difficult • the difference between forcing change and allowing change • how appreciation can shift the way we experience our lives • what science and spirituality may understand differently about the same reality • why kindness toward yourself may be one of the most powerful places to begin K. Margaret also shares practical ways to begin working with the energy of your home through light, air, nature, intention, and small choices that create a larger ripple. This is not a conversation about making your home perfect. It is about creating a space that supports who you are becoming. Learn more about K.

    Are You Creating Your Reality or Reacting to It? Why So Many People Feel Powerless

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if you are far more powerful than you've been led to believe? In this thought-provoking episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with intuitive teacher, Reiki Master, spiritual mentor, and creator of Astarte Reiki, Theresa Richardson, for a wide-ranging conversation about spiritual awakening, energy healing, intuition, and the role each of us plays in creating our own reality.

    Does Getting Dressed Affect Your Nervous System? Style, Safety, and Identity Explained

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if getting dressed is affecting far more than your appearance? In this episode, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with personal stylist and former mental health professional Jaime Diehl to explore the surprising connection between style, nervous system regulation, identity, confidence, and emotional safety.  Jaime shares how childhood experiences, social conditioning, body image, and life transitions can deeply influence the way women relate to clothing and self-expression. Together, they discuss why style is often less about trends and more about safety, visibility, embodiment, and self-trust.  The conversation explores:  The nervous system connection to clothing and style  Why many women struggle with being “seen”  How old stories influence wardrobe choices  Decision fatigue and simplifying the closet  Why clearing out clothing can feel emotional and freeing  Style as embodiment instead of performance  Becoming your own “style muse” instead of following outside rules This episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective on style as an everyday practice of self-awareness, creativity, nervous system support, and personal agency.  Connect with Jaime Diehl HERE Legal Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious Podcast are solely those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Dr. Sandra Marie or the Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious Podcast.
