    Say Yes to Yourself: Self-Love, Boundaries & Living Your Best Life

    Send us Fan Mail Energy healing, self-love, boundaries, meditation, and trusting your intuition are at the center of this conversation with Anna Starlight of Vibrant Hearts. What if changing your life begins with simply making a different choice and saying yes to yourself? In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Anna to explore what happens when we stop ignoring our inner voice and begin making choices that align with who we truly are. Anna shares her own transformation, from overcoming fear rooted in her religious upbringing to exploring energy healing, meditation, ceremony, intuition, and what she calls living in “right relationship” with ourselves and the world around us. She also shares how an unexpected encounter with two moose helped inspire a healing practice centered around integration and wholeness. They discuss: ✅ How small choices can create an entirely different life ✅ Why saying yes to yourself is an act of self-love ✅ Breaking free from fear and old belief systems ✅ Why meditation doesn’t have to mean sitting still ✅ Turning everyday life into a meditation ✅ Developing a deeper relationship with your intuition ✅ How difficult experiences can become building blocks for transformation ✅ Why boundaries are an essential part of self-love ✅ The difference between boundaries and trying to control others ✅ Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic boundaries ✅ Moving beyond people-pleasing and self-sacrifice ✅ Knowing who you are so you can respond instead of react ✅ Why healing doesn’t always have to be difficult One of the most powerful themes throughout this conversation is choice. We make choices every day, and those choices slowly create the reality we experience. Sometimes transformation begins by asking one simple question: What small choice can I make today to stop saying no to myself? 🔗 Connect with Anna Starlight Website: VibrantHearts.ca  One-on-one sessions calendly.com/vibranthearts Patreon: Patreon.com/VibrantHearts - Discount code NEWHOME1 for Patreon.  Modalities and Approaches Mentioned • Emotion Code • Body Code • Easy Entity Release • Energy healing • Muscle testing • Meditation • Intuitive practices • Ceremony • Ho'oponopono • Energetic boundaries • Self-care • Journaling • The Circle of One If you’ve been waiting for permission to make a change, trust yourself, create stronger boundaries, or choose something different for your life, this conversation is a reminder that you have more choice than you may realize.

    Grief Is More Than Death: Healing the Losses We Don’t Talk About

    Send us Fan Mail Grief recovery, unresolved grief, emotional healing, complicated relationships, forgiveness, and generational trauma are at the center of this conversation with Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist Victoria Volk. If you’ve ever felt grief over someone who is still alive or mourned the relationship you wish you had, this episode may change the way you understand loss. In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Victoria Volk, founder of The Unleashed Heart, to explore the many forms grief can take and why death is only one type of loss we experience. Victoria shares her own journey through childhood loss, trauma, family separation, difficult relationships, and the realization that grief had been quietly influencing her choices for years. Tenya and Victoria also have an open conversation about grieving complicated relationships, including the confusing mix of sadness, relief, guilt, and acceptance that can come when someone dies after you have already grieved the relationship while they were alive. They discuss: ✅ Why grief is about more than death ✅ Grieving the relationship you wish you had ✅ The loss of hopes, dreams, and expectations ✅ How small and overlooked losses can accumulate over time ✅ Childhood loss and being forced to adapt ✅ Generational patterns of grief and trauma ✅ Why every sibling can grieve the same parent differently ✅ Guilt and relief after losing someone you had a complicated relationship with ✅ The difficulty of having emotionally honest conversations ✅ Why healing doesn’t require the other person to participate ✅ Apologies, forgiveness, resentment, and becoming emotionally complete ✅ How grief recovery helps you actively work through unresolved emotional pain One of the most powerful ideas Victoria shares is a different way of defining grief: the loss of hopes, dreams, and expectations. When grief is viewed through that lens, we begin to recognize losses we may never have allowed ourselves to grieve. A move. A friendship ending. Estrangement. A changing family. The childhood you wish you had. A relationship that never became what you hoped it would be. These experiences matter, too. If you’ve ever wondered why something from your past still feels unfinished, this conversation may help you look at your story through a completely different lens. 🔗 Connect with Victoria Volk Website: https://theunleashedheart.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunleashedheart/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theunleashedheartllc/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-volk-a83447187/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@theunleashedheartllc650 Victoria recommends starting with the first ten episodes of Grieving Voices if you want to learn more about the educational foundations of grief recovery. Modalities and Approaches Mentioned • The Grief Recovery Method • Grief recovery • Reiki • Biofield Tuning • Energy healing • Tuning forks • Emotional completion • Forgiveness work • Generational grief and trauma Victoria describes the Grief Recovery Method as an evidence-based, educational, action-based program designed to help people take meaningful steps through their grief rather than simply continuing to talk about the same pain. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who may be carrying grief they haven’t recognized as grief yet.

    You Don’t Need More Time for Self-Care, You Need Micro Moments

    Send us Fan Mail Mindfulness, nervous system regulation, chronic stress, journaling, and healing after toxic relationships are at the center of this conversation with meditation teacher and author Katharine Chestnut. If self-care has started to feel like another item on your to-do list, this episode offers a much simpler way to begin. In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Katharine Chestnut to talk about her journey from a highly driven, logical corporate professional to someone who learned how to slow down, reconnect with herself, and listen to what her body was trying to tell her. After leaving a toxic and abusive relationship, Katharine returned to practices she had explored over the years, including journaling and meditation. What began as part of her own healing eventually became a way to help others who feel overwhelmed, chronically stressed, disconnected, or like they’re simply going through the motions. They discuss: ✅ Healing after a toxic and abusive relationship ✅ Why your logical mind can’t always lead the healing process ✅ Letting go of the belief that meditation means emptying your mind ✅ How chronic stress keeps the brain scanning for threats ✅ Why you can’t “planner your way” out of chronic stress ✅ Using micro moments to regulate your nervous system ✅ How mindfulness helps you learn to listen to yourself again ✅ Finding the gaps in your day for simple self-care ✅ Why boundaries are an important part of nervous system regulation ✅ Journaling, meditation, breathwork, and reconnecting with your body One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that caring for yourself doesn’t have to become another part-time job. You don’t need an hour-long morning routine, the perfect meditation practice, or a complete lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes it starts with one breath. Katharine encourages us to look for the small gaps already hiding in our days. Sitting in the school pickup line. Waiting at the airport. Standing in line. Pausing before responding to an email. Instead of automatically filling those spaces, we can use them as opportunities to come back to ourselves. Those tiny moments add up. 🔗 Connect with Katharine Chestnut Website: https://katharinechestnut.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@katharinechestnut Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/drumbabe You can also find Katharine’s meditations on Insight Timer and her active YouTube channel. Katharine also offers a quiz on her website designed to help you discover a simple way to begin incorporating mindfulness into your day based on what works for you. Modalities and Approaches Mentioned • Mindfulness • Mindful journaling • Guided meditation • Breathwork • Grounding • Body scans • Nervous system regulation • Boundaries • Movement • Self-awareness • Micro moments of mindfulness If you’ve been telling yourself you don’t have enough time for self-care, start smaller. Take a breath. Put your feet on the floor. Check in with yourself. Notice what your body is telling you. You don’t have to change everything today. You can simply begin coming back to yourself. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who feels like they’re constantly doing, achieving, and taking care of everything but themselves.

    Laura Hoorweg: Healing Your Relationship with Yourself

    Send us Fan Mail Spiritual awakening, intuitive guidance, self-care, meditation, mediumship, and spiritual healing are at the center of this fascinating conversation with spiritual counselor and intuitive coach Laura Hoorweg. If you’ve ever felt that your spiritual path doesn’t look like anyone else’s, this episode is a reminder that it doesn’t have to. In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Laura Hoorweg, who describes herself as a grounded spiritual “woo-woo” person, to explore her lifelong spiritual journey and the experiences that eventually led her to become a spiritual counselor, intuitive coach, and medium. Laura shares how her search for connection began when she was just 10 or 11 years old, why nature became her cathedral, and the extraordinary out-of-body experience she had at 15 that changed the way she viewed life, death, and our connection to something greater. We discuss: ✅ Finding spirituality outside of traditional religion ✅ Laura’s out-of-body experience at 15 ✅ The mysterious encounter Laura believes saved her life ✅ Grief, loss, and finding purpose after your life falls apart ✅ Spiritual counseling, intuition, and mediumship ✅ Why healing messages can help people move through grief ✅ The four pillars of self-care: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual ✅ Why meditation is one of Laura’s most important daily practices ✅ Movement, sleep, whole foods, and listening to your body ✅ The importance of real human connection ✅ Finding and using your authentic voice ✅ Staying grounded during times of uncertainty and change One of the biggest messages in this conversation is simple: self-care can’t just be something we know we should do. It has to become something we actually practice. Laura encourages listeners to care for themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while staying connected to other people and to something greater than themselves. Modalities and Approaches Mentioned • Meditation • Spiritual counseling • Intuitive coaching • Mediumship • Energy reading • Akashic Records • Yoga • Restorative yoga • Yin yoga • Qigong • Journaling • Movement • Spiritual practices • Human connection • Whole-food nutrition • Grief support If you’ve been questioning your spiritual path, moving through grief or transition, or realizing that you need to make yourself and your well-being a priority, this conversation offers a different way to think about healing, connection, and self-care.
