Your Radiant Spirit
Some conversations feel like a warm permission slip. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Becca Shaw of Ember Healing, a holistic healer, Akashic Records coach, divination reader, and teacher. And if you’ve ever wondered, “Okay… what even ARE the Akashic Records?” Becca breaks it down in a way that feels grounded, practical, and honestly kind of fascinating. We talk about the Akashic Records as your soul’s “energetic library,” how Becca helps people access their own records (not just get a reading), and what can shift when you finally understand where a block really started....

What if you weren’t broken, stuck, or behind — but in the middle of remembering who you are? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I’m joined by Lauren Pearlingi, an intuitive human design and business guide, trauma healer, Reiki and Theta healing practitioner, meditation coach, author, speaker, and founder of The Mermaid Light. Lauren and I have one of those conversations that feels both grounding and expansive. We talk honestly about trauma, survival mode, intuition, and what it really means to move from victim to victor — not through force or hustle, but through self-trust,...

We tried to record this episode three times… and honestly, I’m glad we did. Because this one turned into the kind of conversation you normally only hear before the official recording starts. I’m sitting down with my friend Deb Eckerling, known as The Book Proposal Expert (and also the creator of the DEB Method for goals). We start with a quick, energetic color reading (hello, yellow and identity shifts), and somehow that opens the door into a deep, practical conversation about: claiming your expertise focusing your message why you don’t need to write the whole book first how a book...

What if the parts of you that feel confusing, exhausting, or “too much” are actually clues to your soul’s design? In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with Vicki Meigs, a master teacher, soul alignment coach, numerologist, and vibrational healer, for a powerful conversation about self-alignment, energetic truth, and coming home to who you really are. Vicki shares her journey from public education to soul-centered work, including the moment her body demanded she slow down and listen. Together, Heather and Vicki explore how numerology offers more than insight, it...

What if the feelings you try to avoid are actually guiding you back to love? In this heartfelt episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather sits down with Brenda L. Balding, a registered nurse of 50 years, Reiki energy healer, author, and spiritual guide. Together, they explore how grief, intuition, and emotional awareness can become powerful teachers when we learn to listen to Love’s Inner Voice. Brenda shares her personal journey from nursing into energy healing, how she discovered she’d been healing others her entire life, and how grief transformed her relationship with herself, her parents,...

In this episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather dives into the deeper meaning behind the colors in Wicked: Part Two and how green, pink, and black reveal the emotional and spiritual journey of Elphaba and Glinda. You’ll hear how: Green reflects self-love, acceptance, and the wounds Elphaba carries. Pink highlights Glinda’s longing to be worthy, loved, and good. Black acts as emotional armor — and later, empowerment — for Elphaba. Color mirrors our inner world and ministers to the places we need healing most. The story of Wicked becomes a reminder of belonging, forgiveness, and...

In this special episode, I’m joined by transformational speaker and resilience mentor Alethea Felton — and this conversation is extra fun because we interviewed each other for our shows. Alethea and I talk about what it means to return to yourself after seasons of struggle, how to rebuild trust in your own voice, and why resilience isn’t about pushing through — it’s about alignment, healing, and truth. You’ll hear us explore: how Alethea moved through chronic illness, grief, and a lifelong stutter the moment she realized she wasn’t made to just “endure” — she was made to...

Anthropologist-turned-healer Bob Vetter shares how decades with Indigenous elders—and a life-changing story from a Comanche medicine man—shaped his path from academic study to hands-on healing. We talk about vision, story as medicine, curanderismo, energy work, and Bob’s framework for helping people move from calling to an ethical, grounded healing practice. In this conversation, we explore how your soul’s whispers can become a trustworthy path. Bob Vetter traces his journey from seventh-grade meditation and Eastern philosophy to ethnographic fieldwork in Oklahoma, where he was adopted...

In this solo episode of Your Radiant Spirit, I share how what looks like “housekeeping” – for your studio, your calendar, your nervous system – is really spiritual housekeeping. We explore how carving out one intentional hour of creation every day shifts everything, how art is more than decoration (it’s healing), and how my own business containers are evolving to meet the deeper work of transformation. What You’ll Hear Why discipline becomes devotion when you show up consistently for your creative practice (“just me and my paints … whatever wants to come through”). The...
info_outlineIn this heartfelt and inspiring episode of Your Radiant Spirit, Heather Eck sits down with her dear friend and creative collaborator Rose Wippich—Reiki Master, yoga and Qigong instructor, energy healer, and author of the transformational new book Empress Rising: Own Your Energy, Trust Your Wisdom, and Rewrite the Rules of Aging.
Heather and Rose first met when Heather was a guest on Rose's podcast, Chat Off the Mat - and then Rose received a Spirit Portrait—an intuitive painting that captured her essence in vibrant golds, pinks, and magentas. That portrait became the spark that inspired her to write Empress Rising, a guidebook for women stepping into their sovereignty and embracing midlife as a portal of power rather than a time of decline.
Together, they’ve gone on to co-create the 12 Days of Holiday Healing Giveaway, infuse Reiki and color into a collaborative Oracle deck, and support countless women in awakening to their own light.
In this conversation, Heather and Rose explore:
✨ How intuitive art can activate healing and reveal your next chapter
✨ The Empress archetype and what it means to “own your energy”
✨ The importance of forgiveness, embodiment, and rewriting self-limiting beliefs
✨ How midlife can be a sacred initiation into your most radiant, sovereign self
If you’ve ever felt the call to reclaim your creativity, reconnect to your body, or remember your inner power, this episode is your royal invitation.
