    027 Reconnecting to Your Intuition: Emotional Healing, Self-Care & Spirit Guidance | Laura Hoorweg

    What if your intuition isn’t “wishful thinking”… but guidance you’ve been trained to ignore?  In this episode of Pain to Power, Jill Ripley sits down with Laura Hoorweg—intuitive, medium, and spiritual mentor behind SpiritSpeaks2.me—for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about intuition, mediumship, emotional healing, and grief.  Laura shares how spiritual mentoring helps people reconnect to their authentic selves, uncover life purpose, and move through emotional patterns that keep them stuck. We also explore why grief can linger for years, how connecting with loved ones in Spirit can bring relief and closure, and why the goal isn’t “never feeling pain”—it’s healing so you can live fully again.  You’ll also hear Laura’s powerful origin story (including an unforgettable out-of-body experience), plus practical ways to reconnect with your intuition through self-care, meditation, nature, sound healing, and nervous system support.  If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I intuitive… or am I just imagining things?”—this one’s for you.  Connect with Laura:    Website: https://www.spiritspeaks2.me   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/laura.hoorweg  https://www.facebook.com/groups/SpiritSpeaksToMe     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hoorweglaura/?hl=en    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurahoorweg/   X (Twitter): https://x.com/HoorwegLaura   Support the show 🌿 Thanks for listening to Pain to Power ✨ Let’s rewrite the story that says self-sacrifice equals love.

    026 Healing the Mother Wound Part 2: Trauma Healing, Mother Forgiveness & Generational Change

    In this powerful follow-up to my most downloaded episode, Healing the Mother Wound and Breaking Generational Trauma, we go deeper into understanding why our mothers hurt us, how those wounds shape our lives, and what it truly takes to heal.  In Part Two, we explore the painful gap between the ideal mother we needed and the human mother we actually had — and how that gap creates the mother wound, childhood trauma, and the generational patterns so many of us are now working to break.  You’ll learn:  • What the mother archetype is and why no parent can fully live up to it • How childhood trauma forms when emotional needs go unmet • The two truths required for healing: your pain is real AND your mother was human • How to heal whether your mother was imperfect, unavailable, or truly abusive • What forgiveness really means (and what it does NOT mean) • The emotional inheritance your mother carried — and how it shaped her parenting • How to begin reparenting your inner child and giving yourself what you never received • What meaningful mother–child repair can look like when both people want it • Why breaking generational trauma starts with awareness, compassion, and boundaries  This episode offers validation, clarity, self-compassion, and practical tools for anyone healing the mother wound — whether you are navigating estrangement, seeking forgiveness, longing for reconnection, or raising children of your own.  If you’re ready to heal childhood trauma, stop repeating old patterns, and finally step into emotional freedom, this conversation will support you every step of the way.  My book, Empowered by the Storm, dives even deeper into these themes.

    024 Your Soul Is a Magnet: The Energy You Emit Shapes Your Life

    Your soul is a magnet — literally. In this deeply eye-opening episode of Pain to Power, Jill Ripley explores a powerful revelation: our soul is the magnetic force that holds the body together and continuously attracts the people, opportunities, and experiences that match our energetic frequency. You’ll learn the science behind magnetism, how human energy really works, and why we often “attract” situations that mirror our inner emotional state. Jill breaks down the difference between chemistry and resonance, why opposites sometimes collide instead of harmonize, and how to consciously shift your vibration so you become magnetic to peace, clarity, and abundance. In this episode, you’ll discover: ✓ Why your soul acts as the organizing magnetic field of your life ✓ How your emotions create the frequency you broadcast ✓ Why “like attracts like” in the energetic realm ✓ The difference between physical polarity and vibrational resonance ✓ How to stop attracting chaos and start attracting alignment ✓ Practical tools to strengthen your energetic field ✓ A guided meditation to reset your frequency and increase coherence If you’ve ever wondered why life feels chaotic at times — or why things suddenly flow when you’re centered and grateful — this episode will bring everything together in a clear, empowering way. ✨ Ready to realign your energy and become magnetic to what’s meant for you?

    023 Refusing to surrender how Dan Cummings turned paralysis into purpose

    When a devastating diving accident left Dan Cummings paralyzed from the chest down, doctors told him he would never walk again. But Dan refused to surrender. Instead, he packed up his life, moved across the country to California, and committed to four years of intensive rehabilitation — training for hours a day to reclaim the strength, movement, and hope everyone said was gone for good. Through that journey, he not only learned to walk again but discovered his life’s mission: to bring that same level of possibility and purpose to others through Journey Forward, a comprehensive paralysis recovery center in Canton, Massachusetts. In this powerful conversation, Dan shares the mindset that helped him rise above victimhood, the spiritual and emotional strength behind his recovery, and the heart of the mission that’s helping others do the same. If you’ve ever faced a moment that tried to define you — this episode will remind you that the human spirit can always rise, rebuild, and choose purpose over pain. ✨ Listen now to be inspired by Dan’s story of resilience, courage, and the power of never giving up. https://journey-forward.org/ https://www.instagram.com/journeyforwardsci/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064768928453 Support the show 🌿 Thanks for listening to Pain to Power ✨ Let’s rewrite the story that says self-sacrifice equals love.

    022 Generate Prosperity Through The Rythm of Giving and Receiving

    Do you give freely but struggle to receive? In this heartfelt episode of Pain to Power: Emotional Healing, Self-Love & Spiritual Growth, Jill Ripley explores how learning to receive — love, compliments, help, and abundance — is essential to your emotional healing and spiritual evolution. Just like the rhythm of breath, giving and receiving are two sides of the same sacred flow. When we over-give, we create an energy deficit that leaves us drained and disconnected. But when we open our hearts to receive with gratitude, we restore harmony, invite prosperity, and deepen our self-love. Listen as Jill shares:  💛 Why it feels uncomfortable to receive — and how to change it  🌬 How giving and receiving mirror the natural flow of life  🕊 Practices to restore energetic balance and emotional peace  🌸 A guided affirmation and visualization to open your heart to abundance If this message touches your heart, share it with someone who needs the reminder that receiving is an act of love too. 🔗 Connect with Jill:  Instagram & Facebook: @empoweredbythestorm Website: EmpoweredByTheStorm.com YouTube: Pain to Power with Jill Ripley | Healing & Growth Support the show 🌿 Thanks for listening to Pain to Power ✨ Let’s rewrite the story that says self-sacrifice equals love.
