    Power Stories & the Medicine of Myth: Finding Soul Safety Through Storytelling with April Isaacs

    In this deeply poetic conversation, I sit down with writer, photographer, and intuitive storyteller April Isaacs, creator of Power Story Tarot Readings and author of The Ecstatic Wanderer. From years spent living nomadically in her van “Firefly” to discovering myth as a mirror for the soul, April shares how story, tarot, and wilderness have become her way of helping others reclaim their personal power. Together, Jodi and April explore:T The difference between being “read to” and being witnessed and why the latter transforms.The origin of Power Story Readings and how mythic archetypes can awaken inner guidance.Why seeking curiosity instead of certainty can regulate the nervous system and create safety for the soul to remember.How storytelling in community (like Way of Council circles) restores collective regulation and belonging.Practices for tuning in to your body’s stories through myth, dreams, and ritual.April reminds us that story is medicine, and being witnessed is sacred. Whether through tarot, myth, or dream, each of us holds a story that wants to be remembered, one that can lead us home to ourselves.

    Presence Over Perfection: Remembering the Healer Within

    What happens when the healer becomes the one who needs healing? In this moving and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Amy Marohn, a spiritual hypnotherapist, channel, and former rehabilitation professional whose own “mystery illness” and near-death experience became the catalyst for her soul’s unfolding. Amy shares how years of chronic illness, medical dismissal, and despair led her to a life-changing moment of surrender and how that surrender opened the door to spiritual guidance, intuitive awakening, and a completely new way of understanding healing. Together we explore: The sacred turning points that awaken healers to their deeper purposeHow chronic illness and loss of control can become spiritual initiationsWhy the most powerful medicine we offer clients is our authentic presenceHow to release the chase for “more certifications” and trust your own inner guidancePractices to attune your frequency, clear your channel, and remember the healer withinThis episode is a heartfelt invitation for therapists, healers, and helpers to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover the quiet frequency of authenticity that allows true healing to unfold, both for ourselves and for those we serve.

    Exploring Neurodiversity in Therapy: Communication, Connection & Healing (Part 2)

    In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I’m joined once again by the wise and compassionate Ayla Ault for part two of our conversation on supporting neurodivergent clients—particularly those who are late-diagnosed and high-masking. Together, we explore the healing potential of weaving clinical skill with intuitive, holistic presence. We talk about the deeply personal ways neurodivergent individuals experience the world, through unique communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and inner landscapes that are often overlooked or misunderstood. We also explore how special interests and affirming communities—like Dungeons & Dragons, BDSM, and spiritual groups can become vital sources of safety, identity, and belonging. This conversation is a heartfelt invitation to meet neurodivergent clients with attuned curiosity, softness, and deep respect so they can feel truly seen, honored, and supported on their healing journey.
