Happy Hour For The Spiritually Curious Podcast

Listen for free

Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious is a podcast for thoughtful seekers who want more than spiritual soundbites.


Hosted by Dr. Sandra Marie, nurse, clinician, and lifelong questioner, this show explores the intersection of spirituality, psychology, healing, and real-world human experience.


After years working in healthcare while studying spiritual traditions and energy practices, Sandra saw a gap. Too often, spirituality became abstract, performative, or disconnected from daily life. What was missing were honest conversations, ones that honor curiosity without dogma and explore practices that can be lived in real relationships, real bodies, and real uncertainty.


Each episode invites grounded dialogue about consciousness, trauma, intuition, burnout, sovereignty, and personal transformation.


Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or recalibrating it, this podcast is a space for inquiry, discernment, and integration.

  • Can Trauma Trigger a Spiritual Awakening? Mental Health, Intuition & Emotional Safety
    May 21 2026

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU!

    Note: This episode includes discussion of trauma, PTSD, psychiatric treatment, and sexual assault recovery.

    In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie speaks with Elle Ivey, who shares her journey navigating trauma, including surviving sexual assault, alongside complex PTSD, spiritual awakening, intuition, and mental health recovery.

    Elle discusses a spontaneous spiritual awakening that occurred while receiving inpatient psychiatric treatment during the pandemic, after unresolved trauma and PTSD resurfaced through intense body memories and emotional overwhelm.

    The conversation explores:

    • body memory and trauma responses
    • intuition vs. mental health overwhelm
    • emotional safety during awakening experiences
    • mediumship and spirit communication
    • toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing
    • agape love, compassion, and self-parenting
    • psychic sensitivity and energetic boundaries
    • light language and spiritual remembrance
    • learning to trust intuitive experiences without losing grounding

    Elle also discusses her emerging platform, Beyond the Leaves. Together, the conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of what can happen when trauma, spirituality, healing, and intuition intersect in ways society does not always understand.

  • Does Getting Dressed Affect Your Nervous System? Style, Safety, and Identity Explained
    May 14 2026

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU!

    What if getting dressed is affecting far more than your appearance?

    In this episode, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with personal stylist and former mental health professional Jaime Diehl to explore the surprising connection between style, nervous system regulation, identity, confidence, and emotional safety.

    Jaime shares how childhood experiences, social conditioning, body image, and life transitions can deeply influence the way women relate to clothing and self-expression. Together, they discuss why style is often less about trends and more about safety, visibility, embodiment, and self-trust.

    The conversation explores:

    • The nervous system connection to clothing and style
    • Why many women struggle with being “seen”
    • How old stories influence wardrobe choices
    • Decision fatigue and simplifying the closet
    • Why clearing out clothing can feel emotional and freeing
    • Style as embodiment instead of performance
    • Becoming your own “style muse” instead of following outside rules

    This episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective on style as an everyday practice of self-awareness, creativity, nervous system support, and personal agency.

  • Are Your Thoughts Creating More Than You Realize? The Ancient Teachings Say Yes
    May 7 2026

    Text us, We would love to her from YOU!

    What if the thoughts, judgments, and assumptions you repeat every day are quietly shaping your entire reality?

    In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with author and teacher Kay Cordell-Whittaker for a fascinating conversation about ancient wisdom, consciousness, attention, and the energetic patterns that influence human behavior.

    Kay shares her experience apprenticing for 13 years within ancient Peruvian and Egyptian lineages focused on balance, awareness, healing, and what she describes as “the truth of who we are.” The discussion explores how ancient teachings connect to modern life, including parallels between today’s world and stories of Atlantis and other advanced civilizations that may have collapsed under corruption, greed, and spiritual immaturity.

    The heart of the conversation centers around Kay’s book, The Seven No-No’s: A Guide to Awakening and Freedom, which outlines seven patterns she believes disconnect people from clarity, self-awareness, and inner peace:

    • Blind beliefs
    • Judgments
    • Expectations
    • Assumptions
    • Jumping to conclusions
    • Arrogance
    • Negative perceptions
