Welcome to Your Radiant Spirit, a podcast about noticing the sacred in ordinary life. I'm Heather Eck, an abstract artist, writer, and lifelong seeker. Through conversations with artists, healers, spiritual teachers, physicians, writers, and everyday people, we explore the quiet ways God, beauty, healing, and mystery reveal themselves in our lives. Each episode invites you to slow down, pay attention, and consider the moments that often go unnoticed. We'll talk about creativity, faith, intuition, healing, purpose, relationships, and the questions that shape a meaningful life. I don't believe we need all the answers. I believe we need to become better at noticing. Whether you're walking through loss, searching for direction, nurturing your creativity, or simply longing for a deeper connection with the sacred, I hope these conversations remind you that grace is often closer than we think. Thank you for being here. I'm so glad you've joined us. Let's connect! Follow my art journey on Instagram: @HeatherEckArtist and on YouTube.

    Grief, Faith and Reiki: Finding Your Way Back to Wholeness with Tracy of Feather Sister and Ready Set Reiki

    What do you do when grief takes your voice? We talk honestly about something many of us have wondered: how do you hold a Christ-centered faith alongside Reiki, yoga, and energy work? Tracy shares how she brings prayer into everything she does, how she navigates prophetic dreams that have come true, and why she believes every practice should leave people informed and free to choose for themselves. In this conversation, we explore: How grief led Tracy to Reiki, and how prayer and practice slowly helped her find her footing againReconciling Christian faith with Reiki, yoga, and energy workWhat Reiki actually is, how a session works, and the history from Mikao Usui to HawaiiThe five Reiki precepts, and the sixth one Tracy added while grievingDreams, intuition, and asking God what to do with a giftThe Prayer of Jabez and a stone that has traveled with her for decadesWhy confidence is simply repetition with positive feedbackA “divine time out” after surgery, and the courage to say no to opportunities you once prayed forTrusting God when He feels quiet, like a teacher during a testWhether you’re walking through loss, curious about Reiki, or simply longing to feel more whole, I hope this conversation reminds you that grace is often closer than we think.

    The Chiron Effect: Healing Your Core Wound Through Self-Forgiveness with Lisa Tahir

    What if the thought you keep thinking on repeat is the one quietly holding you back? In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Tahir, a licensed psychotherapist of 26 years and author of The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds Through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness. Lisa believes we can only go as far as our largest limiting belief, and that most of us, especially high achievers, are far too hard on ourselves. We talk about Chiron, a small body in our solar system named for the wounded healer of Greek mythology, and how its place in your birth chart can point to one of twelve core wounds that shape what you believe about yourself. Lisa approaches it not as an astrologer, but as a therapist looking for the pattern underneath the pain. In this episode: A simple self-forgiveness practice: hand on your heart, your own name, and the words "I'm so sorry you went through that. What do you need from me?"Why we recoil from emotional hurt the way we pull back from a hot stove, and how treating hard feelings as information instead of a threat changes everythingChiron in Aries: the high achiever who looks successful on paper but never feels good enough, and why your worth is based on who you are, not what you doGentle ways to stop overcommitting and people-pleasing, including "let me get back to you on that" and the freedom to cancelWhen loneliness shows up: asking "how old does this part of me feel?" and texting someone who comes to mindFind your Chiron: visit nolatherapy.com and click "Order My Book" for a free tool that shows where Chiron sits in your chart, using your birth date and place.

    How to Connect With Your Spiritual Guides, Discover Your Gifts & Find Healing Through Intuition

    Have you ever wondered whether you have spiritual gifts—or how to become more aware of the guidance around you? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I sit down with spiritual counselor and medium Laura Hoorweg for a wide-ranging conversation about intuition, spiritual gifts, meditation, mediumship, grief, healing, nature, and our connection to something greater than ourselves. Laura shares how her childhood search for God eventually led her away from traditional religious spaces and toward a deep spiritual connection through nature. She describes the wilderness as her “cathedral” and explains why she believes stillness and meditation are essential for receiving spiritual guidance. In this episode, we explore:How to connect with your spiritual guidesThe difference between psychic abilities and mediumshipHow spiritual gifts can show up when you're youngHow to recognize your own intuitive or spiritual giftsWhy meditation can help you become more receptive to guidanceUsing journaling and contemplation to deepen intuitionFinding spiritual connection through natureLaura’s journey from corporate life into spiritual counseling and mediumshipHow grief transformed Laura’s life and workThe relationship between spirituality, energy, and our environmentWhy some people feel especially sensitive to the emotional energy around themLaura’s perspective on children, sensitivity, and the modern worldExploring questions about past lives, ancestral patterns, and consciousnessA powerful message about self-love and our spiritual purposeOne of the biggest themes running through our conversation is the idea that we may already be receiving guidance—we simply need to slow down enough to notice it. As Laura says, our guides are sending messages constantly, but we have to become still enough to receive them. And perhaps the most beautiful takeaway of all is this: Love yourself first. Then let that love move outward into the world.

    How a Clairvoyant Medium Clears Homes of Stuck Energy and Spirits | Venus Castleberg

    Episode summary:What does it mean to accept a gift you never asked for? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I talk with Venus Castleberg, a clairvoyant medium, energy clearer, and founder of The Home Whisperer. Venus became a medium at 30, after getting sober and completing Reiki Master training. She spent three years trying to give the gift back. A vision quest to Sedona and an encounter with a mass of dark energy changed everything. Venus now clears homes, offices, and land, often for real estate agents whose listings have lingered on the market. We talk about how she sees energy, what spirits are really like, why a house can feel unsettled, and what she does about it. She also shares practical, beginner-friendly tips for clearing your own space. In this episode, we talk about: Becoming a clairvoyant medium at 30 and resisting the giftWhy sobriety and Reiki may have opened Venus's abilitiesThe Sedona experience that ended her fear of darknessHow Venus sees energy with her mind's eye and physical eyesCommon causes of unsettled homes: ghosts, leftover divorce or conflict energy, and neglectLand portals and the story of the house that was "a bus stop for spirits"Whether thrifted furniture and antiques can carry spirit attachmentsThe Home Whisperer's seven-step Vibrational Flow MethodWorking with real estate agents on homes that won't sellKey takeaways: Stuck energy is common in homes. Venus says unresolved arguments, unattended repairs, and lingering spirits can all make a space feel unsettled.Start with simple clearing. Sage or smudging can be enough, and talking to your home and listening for what it needs can help too.Fix it or let it go. From a feng shui perspective, keeping broken items can signal a lack mindset and keep you stuck.Ask your belongings if they still serve you. Clutter and unused items can be donated so they benefit someone else.Practice tuning in. Notice how your body responds to simple prompts, like saying your name aloud, to build trust in your intuition.Frequently asked questions What is a home clearing?Venus describes it as removing stuck or unwanted energy, including spirits, from a home or space. She offers both in-person and remote sessions. Can you clear a home remotely?Yes. Venus offers a free consultation to assess whether a space needs an in-person visit or can be cleared remotely. How do I know if my home has stuck energy?Venus says a home may feel unsettled or unhappy, repeatedly turn over its occupants, or struggle to sell. What can I do myself to clear my home?Venus suggests smudging with sage, listening to what your home needs, repairing or removing broken items, and decluttering. About Venus Castleberg:Venus Castleberg is a clairvoyant medium and the founder of The Home Whisperer. She has given readings for 25 years and now teaches her Vibrational Flow Method for clearing homes. She also offers a free consultation for anyone with a home or business experiencing unusual activity.

    How to Change the Beliefs That Are Keeping You Stuck with Erika Muralidhar

    What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of discipline—but an old belief you don’t even realize you’re carrying? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I’m talking with Erika Muralidhar, a nurse turned health coach who helps women explore the connection between physical health, mindset, beliefs, and the small choices we make every day. After more than a decade in nursing, Erika began asking a bigger question: What if health isn't just about what we eat, how we exercise, or how well we sleep? What happens when we look at the beliefs and patterns underneath all of it? Erika shares her own journey from traditional nursing into health coaching, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Reiki, aromatherapy, and subconscious healing. We talk about how the beliefs we develop early in life can continue to influence our choices, relationships, self-worth, and health long into adulthood. One of the ideas I especially loved from our conversation is Erika’s focus on small moments. The way you talk to yourself. The boundaries you set. Whether you ask for help. What you reach for when you're stressed. Whether you prioritize yourself—or everyone else first. Those small moments can become patterns, and those patterns can shape the life you're living. In this episode, we talk about: How childhood beliefs can continue influencing your adult life What NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) is and how Erika uses it with clients How changing your internal dialogue can change what you notice The connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-worth Why Erika says, “You can't heal a body you hate” How emotional patterns can show up through everyday behaviors Why small daily choices can create meaningful change Learning to set boundaries and prioritize yourself How the people around you can influence your energy and mindset What it means to step away from the constant pressure to achieve Erika’s F the Hustle Collective and her approach to creating a more fulfilling life A question to take with you: What belief are you carrying that may have made sense once—but may not be serving you anymore? Sometimes transformation doesn't begin with doing more. Sometimes it begins with noticing. Connect with Erika Muralidhar Erika works virtually with women who want to create a healthier relationship with their bodies, minds, and lives. She offers health coaching, mindset work, and the F the Hustle Collective. You can find Erika through Health E by Erica and F the Hustle Collective. Links are included in the episode resources. Paintings on the Porch — September 25 If you’re local to the Triangle, I’d love to see you at Paintings on the Porch on September 25 from 6–9 PM. I’ll be opening my studio for an evening of art, conversation, and community, with original paintings, prints, journals, and hand-painted wine glasses available to explore.

    "Horribly Lovely": Writing Through Addiction, Presence & the Messy Human Journey with Jon Kohrs

    In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, host Heather Eck sits down with John, author of the memoir Horribly Lovely, to talk about the eight-year writing process that grew out of a marriage in crisis, a struggle with addiction, and a lifelong search for presence. John shares how a spontaneous, directionless drive became the seed of his book, why he describes writing as being "channeled," and how becoming a father, a coach, and a student of the Enneagram reshaped his understanding of love, intimacy, and what it means to be a "messy human." The conversation moves through Carl Jung's ideas on individuation, the vulnerability that follows sharing something true, childhood sensitivity to other people's energy, and the role of art and coaching as spaces for real presence. In This Episode, We Talk About: The seven-to-eight-year journey of writing Horribly Lovely How addiction, a crumbling marriage, and a directionless drive became the seed of a memoir Writing as "channeling" and letting the unconscious speak The vulnerability hangover that comes after sharing something deeply personal Carl Jung, individuation, and shedding layers to reach your core self Presence as the throughline of John's coaching work and his life Childhood sensitivity, energetic boundaries, and learning to hold space for others The Enneagram as a lens for seeing how differently we each experience reality Where creative ideas come from — and why they aren't always "ours" to keep A quiet moment in Slovenia that became one of the book's central lines About Our Guest Jon Kohrs is the author of Horribly Lovely, a memoir exploring addiction, love, and the long process of becoming who we really are. He also works as a coach, drawing on the Enneagram and years of inner work to help others get present with themselves. You can find him on Substack, where he writes about the beauty of being a messy human being, and take his messiness quiz at horriblylovely.com.

    How to Use Feng Shui to Change the Energy of Your Home—and Your Life | Laura Vida

    What if your home is telling you something about your life? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I’m joined by Laura Vida, Spiritual Psychologist, Feng Shui Expert, and founder of Interior Alchemy, for a fascinating conversation about the connection between our inner world and the spaces we inhabit. Laura has spent decades exploring feng shui, geomancy, intentional design, and spiritual psychology. Her work begins with a simple but powerful idea: our environment can either support us or reinforce the patterns we’re trying to change. We talk about how the energy of your home can reflect what’s happening in your life—and how small, intentional changes can help create movement when something feels stuck. In this episode, we explore: How feng shui connects your physical environment with your inner world Why how a space feels can matter more than how it looks How to use Laura’s Feng Shui Energy Map to explore nine different areas of your life What clutter may be communicating about where you feel stuck Why your front door represents your ability to receive How color and the five Chinese elements can influence the energy of a space What the shapes, colors, and objects in your home may be communicating How your bedroom and artwork can influence the energy of relationships Why the first thing you see when you wake up can affect your consciousness How artwork can help shift the feeling and energy of a room Why you don't need to feng shui your entire home How unconscious beliefs can override even intentional changes to your environment Why awareness and informed choices can be powerful tools for creating change How you can begin working with feng shui remotely, without having someone physically visit your home One of my favorite ideas from our conversation is that you don't have to make your home "perfect." Instead, look at the area of your life that feels stuck and become curious about what your environment might be reflecting back to you. Because sometimes changing your space isn't really about decorating. It's about noticing. About Laura Vida Laura Vida is a Spiritual Psychologist and Feng Shui Expert who brings together feng shui, intentional design, geomancy, sacred space, and spiritual psychology. Through her work with Interior Alchemy, she helps people explore the relationship between their thoughts, their spaces, and the lives they are creating. Laura offers feng shui consultations, courses, books, free guides, and other resources to help people create more supportive and intentional environments. Find Laura at lauravida.com Instagram: @interior.alchemist A question to take with you If your home could speak to you about your life right now, what do you think it would say? And perhaps even more importantly: What might you notice if you simply started paying attention? Come see me at Paintings on the Porch I'm also getting ready to open the doors of my studio for Paintings on the Porch on September 25th! Come join me for an evening of art, color, and connection. This is a casual, open-house-style event, so you can stop by anytime between 6–9 PM.
