Welcome to today's episode, where we explore how healing begins not with fixing what's broken but creating space for our authentic selves to emerge. The journey through trauma isn't just personal—it connects to something much larger. As our collective consciousness evolves, each individual's healing contributes to a universal energetic shift transforming our world.

Our guest today is Sandy Cooper, an RN, Psychotherapist, and author of "Trauma to Triumph: Lessons Learned Along The Way," whose powerful story takes us from childhood muteness to spiritual awakening. Growing up in a fearful household with an emotionally unavailable mother and an abusive father, Sandy's early trauma manifested as muteness in first grade—the first of many protective layers she would eventually need to peel back.

Through her spiritual journey, therapy, and profound experiences in hospice care, Sandy discovered her intuitive gifts and began not only healing herself but also healing others. Her work illuminates how self-love, forgiveness, and empathy create pathways out of trauma and into authenticity.

This transformative conversation with Sandy Cooper reminds us that healing isn't just about personal restoration—it's about contributing to the energetic fabric that connects us all. By honoring our wounds and finding the courage to be truly seen, we not only reclaim our authentic selves but also participate in a collective awakening. Sandy's journey from childhood silence to spiritual empowerment invites us to recognize our capacity for transformation and to understand that when we heal ourselves, we help heal the world. Thank you for joining us on this exploration of how personal trauma work becomes universal energy work, creating ripples of healing that extend far beyond ourselves.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Randy Peyser, whose journey from editorial and publishing success to spiritual awakening reveals how a single question can transform everything.

Born into a loving but conflict-filled home, Randy's early life was a pressure cooker of tension. As a teenager, she found solace in music, though playing her favorite song on various instruments—the hauntingly titled "Suicide is Painless" from MAS*H—reflected her inner turmoil.

Randy shares her experience with what mystics call the Dark Night of the Soul (wryly noting, "Why do they call it one night when it always lasts longer?"). When she lost everything, a friend offered her a life-changing question to guide her decisions: "What's the most loving thing I can do for myself right now?"

This simple yet profound inquiry became the cornerstone of Randy's healing journey, eventually inspiring her first book, "From Crappy to Happy." She details her path to publication and the inevitable "hiccups" we all face while becoming who we're meant to be.

Randy's story of resilience, spiritual growth, and unwavering determination reminds us that our darkest moments often precede our greatest transformations. Join us for an inspiring conversation about turning pain into purpose and finding light in unexpected places.

In this powerful episode of "Shitstorm to Magic," Kim shares her remarkable journey from childhood trauma to profound healing. Growing up with an alcoholic father and a mother who did her best, Kim never imagined she'd one day be grateful for these painful experiences. "What? No way Sister," she would have said if told her future.

Kim reveals how her father—sweet by day, terrifying by night—created an environment where she became the ultimate peacekeeper, walking on eggshells while developing extraordinary intuitive abilities without realizing their significance. Like many trauma survivors, Kim channeled her pain into becoming a high achiever, carrying the weight of generational trauma passed down through her family. The turning point? A failed attempt to connect with her father by getting drunk together, when she realized: "This isn't me." But the true transformation came when meeting her "forever guy"—a man utterly different from the narcissistic personalities she'd been drawn to before. Through self-reflection and embracing her authentic self, Kim discovered how to break free from trauma patterns and recognize genuine love.

Join us for this inspiring conversation about intuitive healing, breaking generational trauma cycles, and discovering the magic that awaits beyond childhood wounds. Kim's story reminds us that even our darkest moments can lead to unexpected light. #TraumaHealing #IntuitiveAbilities #AlcoholismRecovery #ChildhoodTrauma #GenerationalTrauma #RelationshipHealing

Although we didn't get around to talking about it, Susan received a psychic medium reading and energy healing session from me and had this to say...

Testimonial From Susan Winchester:

“I was contacted by Shari to be on her podcast recently. I was intrigued by the prep information she sent me, noting that at times during the podcast, she might receive transmissions from my spirit team, and asked if I was interested in receiving them if that happened. I gave her a resounding YES! I have always believed that I have guardian angels watching over me, given I have had some very near misses in my life, in which I could have easily been killed, but wasn't. Shari shared that she offered psychic readings and energy healings remotely, also. And while slightly skeptical, I was intrigued as I am always open to different ways of understanding today's challenges, so I asked her to complete both for me.

Shari provided a lengthy and detailed session report which I found fascinating, insightful, and valuable. Through her work, she pinpointed things getting in my way, and provided several recommendations to break through these obstacles. The energy healing work was also intended to help clear these barriers. Afterwards, I felt lighter, more joyful.

I'm grateful for the clarity Shari's gifts have brought to my life!"
