How did you come up with the name of your podcast?

I wanted it to be very obvious that it was for women by women and that it would deal with discussions about Dreams and Enlightened thinking. I then had one of my future guests do an energy reading on my potential names, and the winner was chosen!

What is the main focus or theme of your show?

Deep discussions, dream interpretation & Stories of Spiritual Awakening. Episodes feature analysis of real women's dreams as well as interviews with women soulpreneurs.

Have there been any particularly memorable moments during the recording that stick out to you?

Yes, my first live recorded dream session was literally an interpretation of my guest's nightmare, and in the middle of the recording, a huge thunderstorm rolled in and knocked out the power to my house. I had to wait about 30 minutes for it to be restored and then continued the recording.

Who has been one of your favorite guests so far, and why?

One of my favorite guests was Caterina Ligato, the Australian Ghost Whisperer. It was part of my October episodes in 2023, and we had an amazing conversation about communicating with earthbound spirits, the dream world as a gateway to the spiritual realm, the incredible power of thought and intention, unraveling the mysteries of time loops, and the transformative journey of self-responsibility and inner growth.

What's next for your show – any exciting plans we should know about?

I am nominated for two categories in the Women in Podcasting Awards 2024: Best Mindset Podcast & Best Expert Guest, the winner will be announced in October. I am also looking forward to showcasing my upcoming debut fiction novel, The Dream Haunters: A Metaphysical Mystery of Magick, on the show, possibly with some bonus reading excerpt episodes.
