    57. Energy Healing Q&A With My Hubby

    How do you explain energy work to people who’ve never experienced it before? And what does the spouse of an energy healer really think about all of this? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, my husband Dean joins me for a relaxed, honest conversation about the work I’ve been doing for decades — including the questions people ask us most often. We talk about skepticism, faith, intuition, what actually happens in a SimplyAlign session, generational patterns, and what Dean has personally witnessed after years of having a front row seat to this work. This isn’t a polished “expert interview.” It’s more like sitting at the kitchen table with us while we talk through the questions people are often curious to ask. Whether you’re brand new to energy work, quietly curious, or have wondered how this fits with faith and real life, this episode opens the door to a grounded, practical conversation about what I do and why I care so much about it.

    56. The Power of the Pause: Inspired Speed vs Pressured Speed

    Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do isn’t speed up — it’s pause. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on decision-making, pressure, intuition, and the difference between moving quickly because something feels aligned… versus moving quickly because something feels urgent. If life has felt noisy lately, or you’ve been trying to sort out your next step, I think you’ll connect with this one. And if you’re in a season where you’re trying to sort through a decision, reconnect with yourself, or get clearer on your next step, I’d love to support you. I offer free 20-minute Possibility Calls where we can talk about what’s going on and what working together might look like.

    55. Is There Gold Beneath Your Feet?

    How much do you know about the excavation of King Tut’s tomb? Maybe you’ve heard the story, maybe not— but either way, there’s a part of it that’s worth taking a closer look at. Not just what they found… but what happened leading up to it. This lesson is ‘gold’ and you might find yourself connecting this to something in your own life.

    54. Reticular Activating System: Your Hidden Filter And How to Reset It

    Your brain is filtering your reality right now — and you may have no idea it's even happening. There's a system in your brain called the Reticular Activating System, and it's been quietly deciding what you notice, what you miss, and what feels possible — every single day. The science behind it is fascinating. In this episode I’m breaking down exactly how your hidden filter works, why the same circumstances can look completely different to two different people, and what it actually takes to reset the filter so your brain starts finding what you want it to find — instead of just confirming what you believe.

    52. No Fooling, Laughter is The Best Medicine

    This episode is airing on April Fool’s Day, which made it the perfect excuse to talk about one of my all-time favorite subjects: laughter. It turns out your body has a lot to say about it—and some of what’s happening behind the scenes might surprise you. From a story in the 1960s that challenged conventional thinking to research that might change the way you look at something as simple as a laugh, this episode makes a case for something we often overlook. Laughing more. On purpose. We’ll explore what laughter does in the body, why it matters, and why it tends to be even better when it’s shared.

    51. Body Wisdom: What Yours Might Be Trying To Tell You

    Your body is always talking. The question is — are you listening? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, we’ll explore the fascinating body-mind connection that has been at the heart of alternative and energy healing for centuries. From your eyes and ears to your hips and ankles, I’ll walk through what different areas of the body might be telling you emotionally and energetically — drawing on the work of Louise Hay, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Emmett Fox, and others. This isn't about blame, and it isn't a diagnosis. It's an invitation to get curious about the wisdom and messages your body is already holding — and what it might be trying to say if you slow down long enough to listen. Plus — I share a personal story that starts with cat paw slippers, and ends up with a moment of honest self-reflection that might remind you look at your own aches and pains a little differently.
