Spirited Soul Podcast

Laurie Blanchard

Spirited Soul is a podcast about the human experience—why we're here, how we grow, and what it means to walk a spiritual path in the complicated world we live in today. Hosted by Laurie Blanchard, A Reiki Master and Spiritual Guide, the podcast brings together conversations with mystics, healers, spiritual seekers and devotees of various religions. With people working with plant medicine, environmentalists, scientists, and others whose lives and work invite us to see ourselves and our world a little differently. Laurie is particularly fascinated by the places where science and spirituality begin to overlap—where scientists are asking questions mystics have explored for thousands of years, and where emerging science can help illuminate experiences once understood only through spiritual language. Not every conversation lands in the same place, nor should it. Spirited Soul is a space for curiosity, lived experience, different ways of knowing, and meaningful conversations about what it means to be human.

    Everyday is Earth Day: A Conversation with Environmental Engineer Evan Edgar

    What does it look like to spend a lifetime trying to make the planet a little healthier—and to keep going when the challenges feel bigger than ever? In this episode of Spirited Soul, Laurie sat down with environmental engineer Evan Edgar, president of Edgar & Associates, for a fascinating conversation about more than three decades of work in recycling, waste management, composting, renewable energy, climate policy, and regenerative agriculture. This conversation was recorded in 2025, and listening to it now is particularly striking. Evan spoke about where environmental policy, funding, and climate initiatives appeared to be heading under the new administration—and much of what he anticipated has since begun to unfold. Evan shared how an iconic environmental message from his childhood helped set him on his path, how he went from shutting down leaking landfills to helping shape environmental policy in California, and why compost, healthy soil, food recovery, renewable energy, and locally based solutions are all interconnected. Laurie and Evan also talked candidly about climate change, the potential impact of changing federal policies and funding, Evan’s own experience with “climate depression,” and the hope he found in work happening right in our own communities—including regenerative agriculture projects bringing native grasses, healthier soil, pollinators, and entire ecosystems back to California ranchland. It was a conversation about science, stewardship, resilience, and what can happen when we stop thinking only about “saving the planet” and start asking how we can better care for the living systems—and one another—right where we are.

    An Interview with Mari Torres (IMSEG13) of Master Vibration 13: Remembering Who You Are

    In this powerful conversation, Laurie welcomes her friend and Mahri (IMSEG 13), founder of Master Vibration13 and a visionary within Infinionaire Ministries. Together, they explore what it truly means to remember who you are—moving beyond surface-level spirituality into deep personal sovereignty. From Mahri’s early awakening and journey through the entertainment industry to her work with orgone energy, expanded chakra systems, and identity-based healing, this episode opens a doorway into a more embodied, self-led path. They dive into the real work behind transformation—nervous system regulation, shadow work, ancestral connection, and the recalibration happening as we awaken. This conversation is both expansive and grounded, offering insight into how spiritual tools can support clarity, confidence, and forward movement in your life. If you’ve felt the call to step more fully into your power, this episode will meet you there.

    Healing Beyond The Physical With Dr. Victoria Schwarz-Edmisten

    On this episode of Spirited Soul™, Laurie sits down with Dr. Victoria Schwartz-Edmisten for a conversation that goes far beyond traditional chiropractic care. Dr. Victoria shares how her desire to help people manage pain led her from gentle, low-force chiropractic work into Emotion Code, Body Code, Belief Code, and eventually the intuitive energy practice she calls Light Weaving. Together, they explore the connection between physical pain, stored emotion, belief patterns, and energy—along with why some symptoms may linger even after the body has been treated. Dr. Victoria also shares how her spiritual journey has changed the way she works and opened her to a more intuitive form of healing.  If you’ve ever felt that there might be more beneath the surface of stress, pain, exhaustion, or emotional patterns, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at healing beyond the physical.

    A Spirited Conversation with 3-C Paranormal: An All-Women-Led Paranormal Investigation Team

    In our inaugural episode, I sit down with Denise De Mattei and Selma Hunga of 3-C Paranormal. 3-C Paranormal Investigations is one of, if not the first, all female paranormal groups in America. They specialize in the Gold Rush haunts of California as well as Nevada and Arizona. Recently, the girls graced the cover of Ghost Buzz Magazine and were featured within it as well as in my own publication, Spirited Soul Magazine. They were also a featured guest last year on the popular Ghost Bunny Podcast. Upcoming events include speaking at the 2026 Spooktacular Festival held on September 27th at 29 Palms, CA.  Future private investigations include the famous MacKay Mansion in Virginia City with Bridget Marquardt of Ghost Bunny and The Girls Next Door fame. Their work is as fascinating as the places they explore—focusing primarily on historic Gold Rush regions. With nearly a thousand investigations behind them, Denise and Selma bring both depth and a grounded perspective to conversations about energy, presence, and the unknown as well as amazing haunting stories. We talk about investigations, intuitive awareness, and the moments that challenge your sense of what’s real—and what isn’t.  They can be found online at:  3-C Paranormal Investigations on FB. tiktok.com/@3CParanormal, tiktok.com/@3c.paranormal, and  Instagram.com/3_CParanormal Connect with Laurie Blanchard of Spirited Soul for information on possibly collaborating on a podcast, on working with her privately as a spiritual guide via Tarot Readings, hiring her for Land/House Blessings, or how to attend one of her Workshops, at the following locations:  www.stanstore.lauriespiritedsoul www.spiritedsoul.net Her Social Media Contact Info is: www.tiktok.com@lauriespiritedsoul www.Instagram.com/lauriespiritedsoul www.Instagram.com/Spiritedsoulmedia Or contact her directly: spiritedsoulinfo@gmail.com
