  • EP17: Beyond Sun Signs: Horary Astrology, Healing & Everyday Guidance with Kim Fairminer
    Feb 17 2026

    In this illuminating episode, Lisa is joined by Kim Fairminer, a professional astrologer with over 25 years of experience, to demystify astrology and explore how it can be used as a practical, grounded tool for insight, healing, and everyday decision-making.

    Kim shares her unique approach to astrology, blending traditional horary astrology with transpersonal counselling, and discusses her long-standing role writing daily horoscopes for The West Australian newspaper. Together, Lisa and Kim explore the key differences between natal astrology - which offers a lifelong, big-picture view of the soul’s journey - and horary astrology, which provides clear answers to specific yes/no questions about immediate situations.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What horary astrology is and how it works

    • How natal charts reveal life themes, priorities, and personal timing

    • Why free will still matters, even in predictive astrology

    • The importance of learning astrology in layers, like a language

    • How empty houses in a birth chart should really be interpreted

    • The role of healing planets and houses for intuitive and service-based work

    • Why Chiron matters for healers (and when it doesn’t)

    • The spiritual significance of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th houses

    • How astrology supports intuition rather than replacing logic

    Kim also addresses common misconceptions about horoscopes, explaining how astrology can function both as a daily spiritual touchstone and as a profound system for personal growth. The conversation expands into mundane astrology, and how astrology can be applied without needing exact birth data.

    This episode is ideal for astrology beginners, seasoned students, healers, intuitives, and anyone curious about how astrology actually works beyond sun signs.

    Astrology doesn’t remove free will - it helps you use it wisely.

  • EP16: When Sensitivity Becomes Strength: Empaths, Intuition & Healing with Kari Magee
    Feb 10 2026

    In this heartfelt and expansive conversation, Lisa is joined by Kari Magee, intuitive healer and founder of Alchemy for Empaths, to explore what it truly means to be an empath, and how sensitivity can become a powerful gift rather than a burden.

    Kari explains that empaths are naturally attuned to their environment, emotions, and subtle energies, much like animals. While empathy is a universal human trait, some people are more sensitive due to lived experiences such as trauma, burnout, or nervous system overload, often amplifying intuitive abilities like clairsentience, empathic sensing, and animal communication.

    Together, Lisa and Kari explore:

    • What it really means to be an empath in today’s world

    • The connection between empathy, intuition, and personal authority

    • Why self-care is not optional for sensitive people

    • How unprotected empathy can lead to burnout and energy depletion

    • Identifying subtle energy leaks (not just obvious boundaries)

    • The impact of social media, television, and unconscious habits on empathic systems

    • Astrology, neurodiversity, and sensitivity as tools for self-understanding

    • Midlife awakenings, identity shifts, and intuitive growth

    • Sovereignty, individuality, and staying grounded while feeling deeply

    Kari shares her own journey from corporate conformity and chronic exhaustion to reclaiming sensitivity as a superpower, leading her to develop The LIGHT Method: Liberation, Intuition, Grounding, and Healing - a framework designed to help empaths release limiting beliefs, build strength, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.

    The conversation also touches on starseeds, neurodiversity, societal conditioning, and the suppression of empathy, offering a compassionate lens on why so many sensitive people feel out of place, and how they can realign with their truth.

    This episode is for anyone who identifies as an empath, highly sensitive person, intuitive, healer, or anyone feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

    Your sensitivity is not the problem—it’s the pathway.

  • EP15: The Power of Aloha: Huna Healing, Presence, and Conscious Living with Graeme Kapono Urlich
    Feb 3 2026

    In this deeply insightful episode, Lisa interviews Graeme Kapono Urlich, an ordained Alakaʻi of Huna International, exploring the ancient Hawaiian healing tradition of Huna, the philosophy of Aloha, and the transformative power of presence, energy, and self-empowerment.

    Founded in 1973 by Serge Kahili King, Huna International teaches that energy flows where attention goes, and that all healing and power come from within. Graeme shares the seven principles of Huna, including the powerful idea that the world is what we think it is, and explains how these teachings apply directly to modern life, emotional healing, and personal growth.

    The conversation explores Lomi Lomi temple-style bodywork, not simply as massage, but as a spiritual and emotional healing practice rooted in counselling, awareness, and self-responsibility. Graeme recounts extraordinary personal experiences from extended Kahuna bodywork sessions, highlighting the importance of total presence, focus, and energetic alignment.

    Together, Lisa and Graeme discuss:

    * How distraction and media manipulation affect energy and decision-making

    * The fear of rejection and our deep need to belong

    *The “Adventurer Way of Thinking” and breaking free from societal conditioning

    * The Hawaiian principle of Manawa - the power of being fully present

    * Why effectiveness is the measure of truth (Pono)

    * The true meaning of Aloha: love increases as judgment decreases

    * How belief systems influence success, health, money, and self-worth

    * Using the mind as a healing tool rather than a limitation

    Graeme also shares real-world examples of Huna healing, including how creating an environment of aloha and high energy allows individuals to heal themselves, without giving power away.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in:

    Huna healing, Hawaiian spirituality, energy healing, Lomi Lomi, conscious living, emotional healing, shamanic wisdom, personal empowerment, and spiritual growth.

    ✨ Bless the present. Trust yourself. Expect the best.
