    The Question You Can't Answer Yourself - A Live Channeling Session with Katische Haberfield

    Some questions you carry for months without ever saying them out loud, not because you don't know them, but because you're waiting for permission to ask. In this episode of Soul Loom, I sit down with Katische Haberfield, direct transmission channeller and host of the Infinite Life podcast, and instead of talking about channelling, we do it live. What comes through changes the conversation entirely, several presences speak through Katische, including a voice connected to a past life of mine, and one identifying as Archangel Zadkiel. I was asked not to edit this session, and you'll hear that request within the episode itself. What you hear is shared as personal belief and lived spiritual experience, not as established fact, and not as prediction. What you take from it, and what you make of it, is entirely yours. This one asks you to sit with something rather than solve it. Come listen. Contact Katische Hotline to the Past Podcast Private Past Life Friend Session

    Burnout, Breast Cancer and Becoming: One Woman's Reckoning with Roni Millard

    Roni Millard https://thewellbeing-edge.com/ spent thirty years climbing corporate, achieving at the highest levels, running on fumes. Osteoporosis at thirty nine, miscarriages, constant exhaustion, anaemia — her body was sending signals for years. She ignored every single one because the trajectory felt non negotiable. It took breast cancer to force her to stop and ask what she was actually building this for. This is a conversation about the signals that arrive long before the crisis, about what it costs to stay unconscious, about the moment you finally have to listen. If you're a high performing woman, a leader, someone who thinks resting is a waste of time, you'll hear yourself in this story. If you're ignoring what your body's been trying to tell you, this is the directional correction you've been avoiding. Roni is a wellness consultant, certified NLP coach and soon to be published author. She works with women and organisations to build cultures where ambition and wellbeing actually belong together. This episode includes a practical exercise you can start today to tune back into what your body's been communicating all along. Your becoming doesn't require your breaking. Contact Roni to take advantage of these offers email Roni roni@thewellbeing-edge.com For the first 10 women who contact her: complimentary 20 minute wellbeing strategy session. For organisations or founders with a business: 30 minute call to look at the organisational perspective.

    Books, Boobs and Bouncing Forward

    Pat Allchorne is a breast cancer survivor twice over. Twenty-six years after her first diagnosis, cancer returned — twice, within months — and she chose mastectomies both times. For twenty years she ran The Book Loft in Warrington, a second-hand bookshop where 40,000 books created what locals called an Aladdin's cave of delights. In July 2024, a fall broke her ribs and punctured her lung. In the months that followed, cancer was discovered in both breasts. Now retired, Pat writes book reviews and articles for DWC Magazine, sings with her church choir, and continues to read with the same joy she always has. In this episode, she talks about what it meant to build community inside a bookshop, why her scars might have saved her life, and what bouncing forward actually means — moving toward who you're becoming, not back to who you were. F or anyone facing cancer, grief, health challenges, or the hard work of resilience: this is your conversation. Find Pat's writing and book reviews at DWC Magazine.https://dwcmagazine.com

    Cardboard Caskets to Viking Funerals: Why Your Family Needs This Conversation - Lisa Herbert

    From cardboard caskets to Viking funerals, this episode will make you laugh, think, and finally have the conversation you have been putting off. Lisa Herbert has spent thirteen years making death planning less awkward. As the author of The Bottom Drawer Book: The After Death Action Plan, now in its fifth edition, Lisa is on a mission to give Australians the confidence and knowledge to plan their own farewell and make things easier for the people they leave behind. In this episode we talk about what sparked a teenager reading a groundbreaking psychiatrist's work to eventually write a funeral planning guide, why your will is probably the worst place to leave your final wishes, what a cardboard casket covered in the Sydney Roosters logo has to do with all of this, and why recording your mum making Anzac biscuits might be the most important thing you do this week. Funny, warm, and genuinely useful. This is the episode to gift to someone you love. Find Lisa at thebottomdrawerbook.com.au and follow her on Facebook at The Bottom Drawer Book.

    So Why Does it Feel This Hard?

    You saw the words "you're exactly where you thought you wanted to be, but now you're second guessing yourself" and something in you landed. Not in your head. Somewhere lower than that. This three-minute audio is for the woman who built something real, who has always been capable, and who is quietly wondering why everything feels heavier than it should right now. Not broken. Not behind. Not too late. But something has shifted and you can feel it. What you're experiencing is not a personal failing. It's data. And when you understand what it's actually telling you, nothing is hard in the same way anymore. The clarity assessment linked in the show notes will tell you more about why it feels the way it does than anything else you'll do today. michellewollaston.com

    Death Doulas: The End of Life Support Nobody Told You Existed - Melissa Warren

    We plan our births. We plan our weddings. We plan everything — except the one thing that is guaranteed to happen to every single one of us. In this episode I sit down with Melissa Warren, a Reiki Master, Seichem Master, animal communicator and End of Life Doula based on the Central Coast of NSW, to talk about the role most people have never heard of but almost everyone will eventually need. We talk about what a death doula actually does, when you call one, and why having one in your corner can change everything — not just for the person dying, but for the family trying to hold it all together around them. We also talk about the conversations nobody is having but everyone should be — advanced care directives, voluntary assisted dying, what happens to your body after you die, and why there is absolutely no rush. This is not a morbid conversation. It is one of the most practical, compassionate and quietly revolutionary ones I have had on Soul Loom. If you have ever sat at a bedside, managed a death, or quietly wondered what you would do when the time comes — this episode is for you. Find Melissa Melissa's Facebook Melissa's Instagram

    Trusting Intuition in Trauma Work: Police Detective to Somatic Mentor with Stacey Webb (CW: suicide, trauma)

    CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes brief, non-graphic references to suicide, trauma, and sexual assault in the context of policing and healing work.How does a police detective investigating serious crimes become an intuitive somatic mentor? In this conversation, Stacey Webb shares her journey from law enforcement—working in sexual assault and coronial investigations—to helping people reconnect with their nervous system, inner wisdom, and capacity for healing. Stacey explores what it means to be a "warrior of grace," holding space for others in their most vulnerable moments while learning to hold space for herself. She discusses how intuition guided her work as a detective, why somatic practices allow healing without retelling trauma, and how our nervous system responds to protect us—often in ways we don't consciously understand. We talk about the difference between fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, why trusting intuition feels harder when the guidance is uncomfortable, and how embodied grace means accepting all parts of ourselves—not just the ones we're happy to show. IN THIS EPISODE: What "embodied grace" means in real termsHow intuition works in high-stakes policing situationsWhy your nervous system chooses freeze, fight, or flight before your brain registers dangerSomatic healing without having to tell your trauma storyBuilding self-trust when you don't know the next stepPractising intuition like a muscleABOUT STACEY WEBB:Stacey Webb is an intuitive somatic mentor and author devoted to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing. Her work supports the nervous system through somatic awareness, intuitive guidance, and compassionate presence.
