    The Body as Oracle: When The Body Speaks

    In this episode of The Liminal Mind, Mallorie introduces the personal and collective foundations of "The Body as Oracle" series, exploring how her body began signaling that something had to change. What initially felt like breakdown becomes an invitation to listen more deeply. She’s joined by somatic practitioner Sarah Dabney, who shares her own experience, and how it relates stress, emotion, and nervous system capacity. Together, they explore how the body holds meaning. This episode introduces: Somatic Experiencing and Integral Somatic Psychology Nervous system regulation and capacity The “8 ways of knowing” and embodied awareness How somatic practices can support healing and integration The episode closes with a guided somatic practice to help you begin listening to your own body.

    Wintering with the Unseen

    Across cultures and centuries, the darkest months of the year were believed to be a time when the veil thins, ancestors draw close, and the unseen moves more freely through our lives. In this episode of The Liminal Mind, Mallorie explores why December has long been associated with hauntings, spirit visitations, and profound psychological shifts. Blending historical folklore, depth psychology, neuroscience, and paranormal research, this episode traces winter’s role as a liminal threshold; a season that alters perception, deepens memory, and opens space for meaning-making. From Victorian Christmas ghost traditions and ancient Spirit Nights to modern research on grief, dreaming, and intuition, we examine the presence of winter. This episode is not about fear or superstition, but about presence, integration, and remembrance. Winter becomes an invitation: to slow down, to listen, and to honor the layers of reality that emerge when the world grows still. Whether you interpret these experiences as psychological, spiritual, ancestral, or something beautifully in-between, Wintering with the Unseen offers a grounded, compassionate exploration of the season where science, myth, and human experience converge.

    Jess Karas: Safety and Discernment in Spiritual Practice (Part 3)

    What happens when spiritual work overlaps with mental health? How can we discern what is a spiritual experience from possible psychological crisis? In Part 3 of Mallorie’s conversation with Jess, psychic medium and hypnotherapist, the focus turns to discernment and safety within clinical and spiritual spaces. Jess shares how she evaluates whether a client is a good fit for hypnotherapy, and why mental health contraindications must always be considered when exploring altered states or intuitive work. Together, Mallorie and Jess unpack: The ethical responsibilities of spiritual practitioners Key differences between spirit communication and psychosis Experiences navigating a loved one’s mental health challenges Why boundaries, consent, and spiritual autonomy are essential How to manage “negative energy” without fear, and how to ask for higher help This conversation offers a grounded reminder that discernment is sacred, and that spiritual empowerment always includes caring for our mind, body, and spirit.  If you're enjoying the podcast please subscribe, rate, and leave a review!
