What if your body isn’t broken — it’s just been waiting for you to listen? In this deeply moving episode of Your Radiant Spirit, host Heather Eck sits down with Sarah Dawkins — Holi stic Health and Healing Coach, Registered Nurse of 20+ years, international speaker, and author of Heal Yourself — to explore the radical idea that the body holds the blueprint for its own healing. Sarah’s journey from a hospital nurse giving out pills to a multi-award-winning holistic health coach is one of the most honest and inspiring stories you’ll hear. It began with a dark night of the soul that lasted three years, a challenge to everything she believed about medicine, and a quiet walk outside where she first looked up at the buds on the trees and realized something had shifted. The Four Pillars of Health & Healing (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional) — and why most people only address one or two Why people-pleasing is actually a trauma response rooted in the inner child’s need for unconditional love How Sarah secretly practiced Reiki on post-surgery patients in the hospital — and what their heart monitors showed Why Sarah believes 99% of all chronic illness has an emotional underpinning What self-healing from MS, cancer, Lyme disease, and autoimmune conditions have in common — according to the guests on Sarah’s podcast The truth about manifestation: why visualization without action and emotion doesn’t work How to begin reparenting your inner child and releasing the emotional weight you’ve been carrying “Until we deal with the emotional pillar, we’re only treating the surface. The root is almost always in what we’ve been carrying emotionally.” Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker, and the author of Heal Yourself. She is also a multi-award-winning entrepreneur and the award-winning host of the podcast Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers. With over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Sarah combines her deep understanding of conventional medicine with her own powerful self-healing journey to create a truly integrative approach to wellness.

What if the most healing thing you could do today is simply sit down with someone and listen to their story? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, host Heather Eck sits down with Pam Uzzell — Oakland-based documentary filmmaker and host of the podcast Art Heals All Wounds — for a conversation that is equal parts inspiring, honest, and quietly urgent. Pam has spent her career telling the stories that need to be told: stories of Black high schools before desegregation, of climate and community, of theater groups transforming lives in women’s shelters and with incarcerated youth. And now, through her podcast, she is creating space for artists, creatives, and storytellers to share how their work heals not just themselves — but the people around them. This episode is a reminder that art is not a nice to have. According to the book Your Brain on Art, art and culture turned us into humans. Without it, we don’t thrive. And as Pam so beautifully demonstrates, neither do we thrive without each other. In this episode you'll hear; How Pam went from studying semiotics in college to making award-winning documentaries — and why she says documentary filmmaking felt like a calling The Theater Lab program “Life Stories” — and how helping people perform their own stories transforms how they move through the world Why Pam believes conversation is the last true way we have to understand each other The community film screenings bringing people together in theaters to watch, talk, and reconnect What a group of teenagers called the Luddites did when they swapped their smartphones for flip phones — and what it says about what we’re all craving The profound difference between social media likes and real human connection Why Heather’s two-week artist residency in France reminded her what creative community truly feels like How just 15 minutes of any creative activity lowers cortisol, calms the nervous system, and shifts your state The arts funding cuts threatening the projects and organizations that heal communities — and why it matters “Art and culture turned us into humans. It is not a nice to have — it’s a must have. Without it, we don’t thrive.” Pam Uzzell is an Oakland-based documentary filmmaker and the host of the podcast Art Heals All Wounds. With a background in semiotics and film sound production, Pam discovered her true calling in documentary storytelling — sitting with people, drawing out their stories, and presenting them to the world in a way that illuminates both individual lives and collective history. She has made four documentaries, including a widely praised film about the Black high schools of Malvern, Arkansas before desegregation, which aired on Arkansas Public Television. Through her podcast, she continues to explore how creative work heals people, builds communities, and reminds us of our shared humanity.

What if your body isn’t “broken”… it’s trying to tell you the truth? In this episode, Heather sits down with Amy B. Scher (Hay House author + energy healer) for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, fear, and what it really takes to heal when you’ve tried everything. Amy shares her 10-year journey through chronic Lyme, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, including the moment she realized the missing piece wasn’t “out there” anymore. Together, Heather and Amy talk about the deep stress that comes from living out of alignment, the “lies” we tell ourselves (sometimes daily), and why healing isn’t just insight… it’s action. This one is for you if you feel stuck, exhausted, or like your body has been trying to get your attention for a long time. Why “I’ve tried everything” can be a turning point (not the end) The difference between awareness and real change How fear quietly runs the show (and what it costs your body) Amy’s question that gets to the truth fast: “What have you been lying to yourself about?” Why energy techniques help… but still require action How healing can become a “healing hole” and what to do instead The connection between stress, alignment, and physical symptoms The power of community and collective intention (Fearless Living Collective) “If you’re treating the body and the body isn’t getting better… maybe the body isn’t the whole issue.” “You can’t get away with lying to yourself. Your body is the biggest truth-teller.” “The techniques help you release enough emotional baggage so you can do the thing you actually need to do.” “The mind leads, and the body follows.” Amy B. Scher is a Hay House author and energy healer known for her practical tools that help people release fear, emotional baggage, and stuck stress patterns so they can heal and move forward. She’s the author of How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can, and the creator of the Fearless Living Collective, a membership community for people committed to living with less fear and more truth.

In this expansive and deeply affirming conversation, Heather sits down with Julia Stapleton, a mindset and consciousness mentor, intuitive artist, and former tech professional who now works at the intersection of energy, art, and quantum consciousness. Julia shares her powerful spiritual awakening and how her background in technology and physics helped her understand something many struggle to articulate: everything is frequency, and frequency carries information. Together, Heather and Julia explore how intuition, art, and embodiment allow us to decode what our logical minds can't always grasp and how tuning into a desired frequency can collapse timelines, activate healing, and support aligned manifestation. This episode is a beautiful meeting point of science and spirit, logic and creativity, structure and flow. In this episode, we explore: What it means to feel frequency rather than see it How art can act as a transmission that activates change in the body and DNA Why manifestation works when it feels like a memory, not a wish The difference between wanting something and being in the experience of it How timelines collapse when the body and nervous system are on board Using intuition and creativity to bypass the analytical mind Why healing and transformation don't require understanding, only resonance How personal artwork can support emotional and physical shifts Julia also shares a powerful personal story about using frequency-encoded artwork to release chronic pain, plus insights into how intuition communicates through dreams, sensation, sound, and inner knowing. If you're someone who: Feels deeply but struggles to explain how you know Uses creativity as a form of healing or guidance Is curious about manifestation beyond hustle or mindset work Wants language for experiences you've already had This conversation will feel like coming home.
