Could changing what we eat change the way we feel?

In this episode of Enlightened Connections, I’m joined by Michele Stamn, a plant-based health coach and physical therapist from Wisconsin, who shares the story of her 18-year journey into plant-based eating.

Michele and I explore the potential benefits of a plant-based diet, including inflammation, chronic disease and some of the common concerns around getting enough protein, iron and calcium.

We also talk about the practical and social challenges of changing the way we eat, and why Michele believes plant-based eating should be “doable, delicious and fun.”

Rather than following a rigid plan, Michele helps people find an approach that works for them.

If you've ever wondered whether eating more plant-based foods could make a difference to your health, this is a conversation worth listening to.

Michele also offers free resources, including a plant-based roadmap and 45-minute consultation calls, for those wanting to explore the lifestyle further.

In this episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa talks with Cindy Anderson, founder of Soulpiphany and creator of Your Spirit Guide on Speed Dial, about spirit guides, intuition and our connection with the spiritual world.

Cindy shares how, after 40 years of following more conventional ideas of success, she discovered her own connection with her spirit guides and began developing a practical way to help others recognise that connection for themselves.

They explore:
• What spirit guides are and who may be part of our spiritual support team
• How we can recognise the physical sensations associated with spiritual guidance
• Cindy’s “fingerprint signature” approach to identifying our own intuitive signals
• Why guidance from the spiritual realm can feel different from advice we receive from other people
• The ways Western culture has historically discouraged our connection with intuition and spirituality
• The possibility that more people are now beginning to awaken to these abilities
• Lisa’s own recent experience of receiving unexpected spiritual guidance during a health scare and an important life decision

Cindy also shares a free 5-day coaching experience for listeners who would like to begin exploring their own connection with their spirit guides.

A fascinating conversation about intuition, trust, spiritual connection and learning to recognise the guidance that may already be around us.

Why do some of us struggle to finish what we start, even when we really want to?

In this unexpected solo episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael shares a surprising personal epiphany that connected a childhood experience with a lifelong pattern around self-doubt, failure, judgment and unfinished projects.

The insight arrived while Lisa was half-awake, seemingly dropping into her awareness rather than being consciously worked out. It took her back to being around nine years old, riding her pony in a dressage test when her mind suddenly went completely blank.

Could that seemingly insignificant childhood experience have helped shape the belief: “I don’t finish what I start”?

Lisa explores the fascinating connection between subconscious patterns, intuition, personal transformation, spiritual awakening and the Higher Self, and asks whether these unexpected moments of clarity might be part of a deeper process of clearing and awakening.

Could an epiphany be more than simply discovering something new?

Perhaps we're sometimes just finally ready to see what has been there all along.

In this episode:

• Why we may abandon things when we're getting close to finishing
• How childhood experiences can shape beliefs about ourselves
• The difference between an identity and a learned pattern
• Subconscious processing and intuitive insight
• The Higher Self and the “Observer”
• Could our Guides help us see what we're ready to clear?
• What “clearing” and “awakening” might actually mean
• Moving from self-judgment to curiosity
•

In this solo episode of Enlightened Connections, Lisa Aston Michael explores a question many people ask when learning animal communication: Are we trying too hard?

Sometimes the connection we're looking for may already be happening in subtle ways, but mental noise, expectations and the fear of being wrong can cause us to dismiss what we notice.

Lisa shares her own journey into animal communication, including the unexpected experience with a Rainbow Lorikeet that first opened her awareness. She explores the many different ways intuitive information can be received; through images, feelings, sensations, words, memories or simply a sense of knowing.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, become more present with your animals and get curious about those unexpected thoughts, feelings and moments of awareness.

Perhaps animal communication doesn't always begin with an extraordinary experience.

Perhaps it begins with simply noticing.

In this episode:

• How mental noise can affect animal communication
• Why we often dismiss intuitive experiences
• The different ways information can be received
• What animals can teach us about presence
• How curiosity can help us move beyond doubt
• Why the smallest moments of awareness may be the beginning of a deeper connection

Holly Burns returns to Enlightened Connections for a deeply personal conversation about Lana (Lightning Lana), the horse she describes as her heart horse.

We last spoke with Holly earlier this year about the physics of energy and conscious creation. This time, Holly shares the extraordinary journey she and Lana have taken together through pain, uncertainty, perseverance, intuition and ultimately healing.

Holly is the founder of the Anatomically Correct Trim (TACT) movement, which grew from her own search for answers when Lana suffered years of unexplained lameness. Her journey led her to a much deeper understanding of the horse's hoof, and the vital role that correct hoof care can play in a horse's comfort, soundness and overall wellbeing.

Holly is also a psychic medium and intuitive channel, bringing another fascinating dimension to this story of learning to listen; to our horses, to ourselves, and to that quiet inner knowing that tells us there is more to discover.

In this episode, we explore:

• Holly and Lana's extraordinary connection
• Why healthy, correctly balanced hooves matter so much to horses
• Holly's journey to developing a deeper understanding of hoof care
• Trusting your intuition when something doesn't feel right
• The lessons Lana has taught Holly over more than two decades
• The remarkable transformation in Lana's health and soundness

Sometimes, the animal we think we're here to help becomes the one who changes us.
