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.

    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. Together, Sandra and Theresa explore: •       What it means to create your own reality and why your thoughts matter more than you may realize •       How to distinguish intuition from anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional absorption •       Practical techniques for strengthening psychic boundaries and protecting your energy •       Why so many people are feeling more sensitive, intuitive, and spiritually aware than ever before •       The role of Reiki in personal healing, self-discovery, and spiritual evolution •       Theresa's unique Astarte Reiki system and how it integrates healing with planetary evolution and consciousness •       The meaning of 3D and 5D consciousness and how humanity may be evolving toward greater heart-centered awareness •       What the Akashic Records are and how they can reveal patterns, relationships, gifts, and soul lessons •       Why spiritual community and daily practice are essential in today's rapidly changing world •       How unity consciousness, self-responsibility, and empowerment can help people navigate uncertainty with greater peace and clarity Throughout the conversation, Theresa emphasizes a message that sits at the heart of her work, true healing begins within. Rather than giving away our power to teachers, healers, psychics, or external circumstances, we each have the ability to participate consciously in our own growth and evolution. Whether you're new to spiritual exploration or have been walking this path for years, this episode offers practical wisdom, encouraging insights, and thoughtful perspectives on living with greater awareness, intention, and connection.

    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.

    Are Your Thoughts Creating More Than You Realize? The Ancient Teachings Say Yes

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if the thoughts, judgments, and assumptions you repeat every day are quietly shaping your entire reality? In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with author and teacher Kay Cordell-Whittaker for a fascinating conversation about ancient wisdom, consciousness, attention, and the energetic patterns that influence human behavior.  Kay shares her experience apprenticing for 13 years within ancient Peruvian and Egyptian lineages focused on balance, awareness, healing, and what she describes as “the truth of who we are.” The discussion explores how ancient teachings connect to modern life, including parallels between today’s world and stories of Atlantis and other advanced civilizations that may have collapsed under corruption, greed, and spiritual immaturity.  The heart of the conversation centers around Kay’s book, The Seven No-No’s: A Guide to Awakening and Freedom, which outlines seven patterns she believes disconnect people from clarity, self-awareness, and inner peace:  Blind beliefs  Judgments  Expectations  Assumptions  Jumping to conclusions  Arrogance  Negative perceptions Learn more about Kay’s work, books, and workshops HERE About the Podcast Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious is part of the Wild Soul Gatherings ecosystem, exploring spirituality, consciousness, healing, and the deeper questions shaping human experience.

    You’re Not As Alone As You Think: Vulnerability Unlocks Authenticity

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! In this episode, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with Sue Elliott to explore what it really means to receive guidance, including Sue’s perspective on messages from angels and how they may show up in everyday life. Rather than approaching this as something abstract or distant, the conversation brings it into a more practical, relatable context. They also explore emotional awareness and why emotions are not something to dismiss, but signals that can help guide decision-making and self-understanding. Sue reframes both guidance and emotion as tools that are already available, but often overlooked. Together, they discuss vulnerability, self-awareness, and how to stay grounded while navigating personal and professional growth, while also recognizing support when it appears. What You’ll Hear in This Episode  What people are really reacting to when they hear “messages from angels”  The role of permission and free will in receiving guidance  How intuitive or external guidance may show up in everyday moments  The idea that support can come through other people, not just internal awareness  The difference between dismissing experiences and staying open with discernment  How guidance can support emotional clarity without overriding personal responsibilityLearn more about Sue Elliott 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.

    Are You Feeling Too Much… or Carrying What Isn’t Yours? Why Your Body Won’t Let It Go

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! Your body is a walking history book. The question is… are you still living from what it recorded? In this Wild Soul Gathering summit replay, Loa Blasucci, from Hey Loa, and Dr.Sandra Marie explore how emotions are stored in the body, why anxiety can feel constant, and how the second chakra plays a central role in emotional regulation, creativity, and energetic boundaries. This conversation goes beyond mindset and into the actual mechanics of how the body holds and processes emotional experience. WHAT WE COVER Why your body is a “walking history book” of past experiencesHow the second chakra stores emotion, trauma, and creativityThe difference between your emotions and what you’ve absorbed from othersWhy empaths often feel exhausted, anxious, or overwhelmedHow anxiety connects to stored energy in the body, not just thoughtsWhat happens when this energy center becomes “too open”Why creativity gets blocked and how it reconnectsThe role of grounding in calming the nervous systemHow to recognize, label, and release reactive patterns in real timeWhy healing doesn’t have to be forceful or retraumatizingThe importance of having a system vs trying everything without directionKEY SHIFT FROM THIS EPISODE Most people try to think their way out of how they feel. This conversation makes something very clear: 👉 Your body is responding to stored emotional patterns 👉 Not everything you feel is yours 👉 Regulation comes from working with the body, not overriding it PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS Simple tools shared in this conversation include: Bringing awareness down into the body (especially the feet and lower centers)Using breath to move energy out of the head and back into the bodyRecognizing emotional reactions before attaching a storyLabeling thoughts (ex: “that’s fear”) to create separationGrounding into the body to reduce anxiety in real timeEven small shifts can create noticeable change.

    Do You Need a Psychic… or Do You Already Know? What Most People Avoid

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU! What if the reason you feel overwhelmed isn’t because you’re doing it wrong… but because you’ve never been shown what to do after the awareness hits? In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with intuitive guide, psychic medium, and animal communicator Kimmie Haliburda for a grounded and wide-ranging conversation that bridges intuition, healing, and real-life integration. From animal communication and rescue work to energy healing, intuition, and even extraterrestrial curiosity, this conversation moves beyond surface-level spirituality and into what actually creates change. 👉 At some point, the shift isn’t about more tools. It’s about ownership. Inside this episode: The difference between awakening and emotional overwhelmWhy insight alone doesn’t create changeThe biggest misconceptions about psychics and energy workWhy you don’t actually need tools to access your intuitionWhat animals understand about healing that humans often missHow trauma, environment, and love shape the healing processThe shift from ownership to stewardship (with animals and land)A grounded perspective on ETs and expanded consciousnessWhy real transformation requires you to stop outsourcing your power This is a conversation that moves between worlds: human and animalphysical and energeticintuitive and practical And brings it all back to one question: 👉 What are you actually doing with what you know?
