    She Chose Life - Then Her Spiritual Gifts Awakened | Semi-Trance Channeling with Freda Maletsky

    What happens when a spiritual awakening completely changes the way you experience yourself, your body, nature — and the unseen world? In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Freda Maletsky, a semi-trance voice channel, energy healer and divine light channel, for a fascinating conversation about spiritual awakening, inner healing, channeling, consciousness and learning to truly see yourself. Freda spent much of her life struggling to want to be here. In 2019, a catastrophic spiritual awakening became a turning point that led her towards choosing life, beginning a deeper journey of inner healing — and eventually discovering that her spiritual gifts were coming online. What followed was anything but ordinary. Freda shares how meditation and connecting with nature opened the door to experiences including communicating with trees, receiving energetic information and eventually becoming a semi-trance voice channel. We explore what semi-trance channeling actually is, what happens when Freda allows the energy she knows as Elisabeth to speak through her, and how channeling differs from other forms of intuitive and spiritual communication. During the conversation, Freda also channels a message from Elisabeth about friendship, being seen and the importance of finding people with whom you don’t have to filter or over-explain your spiritual experiences. We also dive into: ✨ Spiritual awakening and the journey of inner healing✨ What happens when spiritual gifts begin to awaken✨ Talking to trees and connecting with the consciousness of nature✨ What semi-trance voice channeling actually means✨ The difference between intuitive channeling, semi-trance and full trance channeling✨ The energetic relationship between the body, consciousness and healing✨ Why learning to listen to your body can transform your relationship with yourself✨ The divine feminine energy Freda connects with as Elisabeth✨ Releasing the need to prove your worth✨ Why you don’t have to earn your right to exist✨ Learning to soften, surrender and let go✨ Finding your spiritual tribe and people who truly see you✨ A beautiful channeled message about being “good enough” exactly as you are✨ A simple practice involving meditation, water and intention One of the most powerful messages in this conversation is beautifully simple: You are already good enough. You don’t have to keep proving your worth. And perhaps the deeper invitation is to stop looking outside yourself for permission to be who you already are. Freda also shares a practical invitation from Elisabeth: begin learning to “read the Bible of your own body” by moving out of the logical mind and becoming more present with the sensations and energetic information within your physical experience. If you’ve ever experienced a spiritual awakening, intuitive downloads, channeling, synchronicities, communication with nature, or simply felt that there was more to consciousness than what can be explained logically, this conversation is for you. 🌿 CONNECT WITH FREDA Freda Maletsky is a semi-trance voice channel, energy healer and divine light channel who shares her own journey of healing and spiritual awakening to inspire others to do their inner work. 🌐 Website: https://fredahealing.com 📸 Instagram: @fredamaletskyhealingarts🎨 Instagram: @fredamaletskyart🎙️ Podcast: The Healing Artist▶️ YouTube: Freda Maletsky Healing Arts 🌿 CONNECT WITH CATHERINE Catherine Crestani is the host of Willow Healing Matters, an inner authority guide, spiritual teacher and founder of Willow Healing Matters.

    Change Is Inevitable, Growth Is a Choice: How to Break Free From Victim Stories & Trust Yourself | Brigitta Dau

    Are you stuck in a victim story — or are you ready to choose growth? In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Brigitta Dau — Life Coach, Author, Reiki Master and Facilitator — for a wide-ranging conversation about personal growth, self-trust, healing, body awareness, intuition, trauma patterns, diet culture, and the stories we create about ourselves. Brigitta shares a powerful perspective: change is inevitable, but growth is a choice. Together, Catherine and Brigitta explore what happens when we stop asking “Why is this happening to me?” and start asking “What is this teaching me?” We talk about breaking out of victim stories and trauma loops, becoming more curious about ourselves, trusting our inner wisdom, navigating change, listening to our bodies, and learning to approach ourselves with more compassion rather than criticism. Brigitta also opens up about her own complicated relationship with food and diet culture, beginning with dieting as a child and eventually finding a different approach through body awareness, curiosity and learning to listen to hunger and fullness. This is a conversation about personal transformation without perfection — and about recognising that your story does not have to define who you become next. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why change is inevitable but growth is a choice✨ How we can become trapped in victim stories✨ Breaking the trauma and victim loop✨ Asking “What is this teaching me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?”✨ Who are you without the story you’ve been telling about yourself?✨ How curiosity can create compassion and understanding✨ Trusting your inner wisdom and making conscious choices✨ Turning obstacles into opportunities for growth✨ The hero’s journey and stepping into the unknown✨ How family dynamics can pull us back into old patterns✨ Becoming more curious rather than judgmental✨ Body awareness, intuitive eating and reconnecting with hunger cues✨ Diet culture, restriction and our relationship with food✨ Learning to listen to your body without shame✨ The importance of community and having people who can witness your journey✨ Why we can be compassionate toward others but incredibly hard on ourselves✨ Giving ourselves more space, grace and tolerance✨ Choosing the next version of your story ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction01:00 Meet Brigitta Dau01:40 Brigitta’s journey from acting to coaching and Reiki03:17 The healing power of storytelling, television and entertainment04:38 The psychology behind characters and the hero’s journey06:03 Why we discount our own healing journeys06:39 Trauma, comparison and the inner critic07:46 Change is inevitable — but growth is a choice08:44 Free will, desire and “wanting it like you mean it”10:41 Turning obstacles into opportunities11:18 What are you learning from what happened to you?12:32 Breaking the trauma and victim loop13:43 Who are you without your old story?14:14 When people struggle with the new version of you15:35 Observing family dynamics without getting pulled into the drama17:37 Curiosity, compassion and understanding other people’s stories18:54 Becoming less judgmental and more curious19:44 Brigitta’s relationship with food and diet culture21:00 Breaking free from restrictive dieting22:00 Using food as an opportunity for self-discovery23:29 Listening to your body with curiosity and compassion25:02 Why diet culture keeps us blaming our bodies26:44 Intuitive eating and listening to your body28:02 Children and intuitive eating29:29 Why comparison affects our relationship with our bodies30:21 Choosing growth that works for you30:49 Body awareness, community and holding space32:28 Why listening to your body can be messy33:16 Self-trust, food choices and being human33:57 What would Brigitta change in the world?35:13 Sharing what we’ve learned so others don’t have to learn the hard way35:31 How to connect with Brigitta36:10 Final thoughts 🌿 CONNECT WITH BRIGITTA DAU Brigitta Dau is a Life Coach, Author, Reiki Master and Facilitator who helps people reconnect with their inner wisdom, overcome blocks and create lives infused with purpose and creativity.
