Becoming Spiritual

This week, we’re doing something a little different.

We’re sharing a recent interview from the Spiritual Warrior Coach, where Barbara Savin sits down with Heather for a conversation about spiritual awakening, career change, authenticity, and the often uncomfortable process of becoming who you really are.

If you’ve ever felt caught between the life you’ve built and the person you’re becoming, this episode will likely resonate deeply...

There are ways of knowing that don’t come through logic alone. Intuition, dreams, synchronicity, energy, and the quiet inner signals many of us have been taught to dismiss can all become pathways back to ourselves. In this episode, Heather sits down with Leslie Wolf Baker to explore shamanism through a grounded, accessible lens. Leslie describes shamanism as “walking between two worlds” - the practical world we live in each day and...

Sometimes the path we think we’re meant to follow quietly shifts, and something deeper begins to emerge. In this episode, Heather is joined by Satya Scainetti, founder of Satya Jewelry, whose journey from social work to spiritual entrepreneurship unfolded through intuition and a powerful inner calling.

Satya shares how moments of uncertainty (including witnessing 9/11) led her toward meditation, yoga, and ultimately a dream that in...

This special anniversary episode marks one year of the Becoming Spiritual podcast, and for Heather, a powerful moment to celebrate one of the most foundational practices woven through every conversation: gratitude.

In this solo reflection, Heather shares how gratitude has shaped her life over the past year as a daily practice that supports mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to self. She explores both the ...

What if healing isn’t something we need to seek externally, but something we already carry within us?

In this episode, Heather is joined by Dr. Eric Lake, an osteopathic physician who bridges traditional medicine with energetic and spiritual healing. Together, they explore the body as an intelligent, interconnected system, where structure, emotion, belief, and energy all play a role in how we experience health.

Dr. Lake shares his ...

What happens when the life you carefully built no longer feels aligned?

In this deeply reflective conversation, Heather sits down with writer, teacher, and consciousness scholar Dr. Rima Bonario to explore the profound spiritual territory of endings. Rima shares her personal experience of stepping away from a thriving body of work, navigating the end of a long-term relationship, and entering what she describes as “the fertile void”...

Power. It’s a word that can feel charged, heavy, even triggering. We’re taught from a young age that power lives outside of us, in institutions, in titles, in money, in authority figures. But what if that definition is incomplete? What if the discomfort we feel around power is actually an invitation to redefine it?

In this episode, Heather sits down with Emily Frieze-Kemeny to explore how power shapes our world (from corporate syst...

What really happens at a spiritual retreat?

In this special episode, Crystal Roberts and I sit down to talk about the transformative power of spiritual retreats: why we feel so called to them, what actually happens in these containers, and why community is such a vital part of healing and personal growth.

We share our own experiences attending and hosting retreats, the magic that unfolds when like-minded souls come together, and ho...

In this episode, host Heather Dolan sits down with health and wellness coach Michelle Forland to discuss their parallel journeys through breast implant explant surgery. Meeting again almost exactly one year on from their explant surgeries, they reflect on the physical, emotional and spiritual transformation that comes with removing breast implants after decades of them being part of their identity.

This conversation goes beyond the...

In Part Two of my conversation with Crystal Roberts, we move fully into her intuitive and channeled work as she shares a message for the collective as we move into 2026.

This episode can be listened to on its own, but it also builds beautifully on Crystal’s personal story from Part One. Here, Crystal opens a channeled space and offers guidance around the year ahead, including how to stay grounded, discerning, and connected as both ...

In this episode, I’m joined by Crystal Roberts for Part 1 of a special two-part conversation exploring holistic healing, personal transformation and what it really means to trust the path as it unfolds.

Crystal is a registered nurse with a deep respect for both science and spirituality, and a belief that true healing often lives at the intersection of many modalities. Alongside her nursing background, Crystal works intuitively with...

What kind of energy are we stepping into as we move toward 2026, and how can we meet it with clarity and confidence instead of fear?

In this episode, Natalie and I sit down for a live 2026 Tarot reading, exploring the collective themes and revealing cards that speak to change, choice, reflection and personal empowerment. Together we unpack what the Wheel of Fortune, the Four of Cups, and the Seven of Cups reveal about the year ahea...

In this episode, I sit down with yoga teacher, healer, and author Kathleen McPhillips for a heart-led conversation about what yoga truly is, beyond the poses.

Kathleen shares her lived experience of yoga as a lifelong spiritual practice: a path of breath, awareness, healing, and inner listening that has quite literally saved and transformed her life. Together, we explore yoga as a holistic spiritual tool for life, and why the inwar...

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also be overwhelming (and exhausting). Between family dynamics, year-end deadlines, social expectations and the general busyness of this season, it’s easy to abandon your own needs without even noticing it.

In this episode, Natalie and I cozy up for chat about simple self-care practices that actually help you feel grounded, nourished, and well, not just during the holidays, but any time l...

Have you ever felt drawn to the divine in a way that didn’t fit neatly inside the tradition you grew up with?

In this episode, I sit down with Beth Barling, Wiccan elder, high priestess, theologian, and co-creatrix of The Serpent and The Dove, for a rich conversation about witchcraft, divinity, theology and what it truly means to hold spiritual leadership.

Beth has a rare gift: she bridges deep scholarly understanding with lived, e...

Have you ever felt art speak to you? Not just visually, but energetically?

In this conversation, I welcome back my wonderful friend Willow Shire, spiritual artist and galactic ambassador, to explore how spirit art can awaken healing, connection and authenticity.

Willow’s work bridges multi dimensions (from dragons and Sasquatch to angelic and galactic realms) and  carries energetic “codes” that activate deeper levels of self-awaren...

Have you ever felt called to follow a new path? One that your logical mind can’t explain, but your soul keeps nudging you toward?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Liz Lehman, a board-certified anesthesiologist and founder of Aluminate Life, a luxury wellness brand that blends the science of scent with the energetic healing of crystals and essential oils.

After two decades in medicine, a series of life-changing challenges led Li...

In this second part of my explant story, Natalie and I shift from the personal to the educational, exploring what I’ve learned about Breast Implant Illness (BII), the healing process, and what I wish I had known before ever getting implants.

When I started researching BII, I began connecting the dots between so many things I had been experiencing, like gut issues, inflammation, low blood pressure, and a constant sense that somethin...

In this first of a two-part conversation, I’m sitting in the guest seat to share something deeply personal: my explant journey.

For around 15 years, I lived with breast implants. I got them for reasons I understand now with a lot more compassion - to feel more confident, more “enough.” But over time, my body and spirit began to speak in ways I could no longer ignore, through the physical symptoms of Breast Implant Illness, and the ...
