Episode 250: Bridging Heaven and Earth: Lessons in Healing and Spirit with Nic Whitem

in , ,

In this heart-opening conversation, Marla reconnects with Nic Whitem, a lifelong healer and spiritual teacher who has dedicated his later years to preserving the wisdom of Silver Birch — one of the most beloved voices in modern spiritual philosophy.

Nic shares how his journey from the fast-paced world of international finance to running a holistic retreat in the UK was guided by the Spirit World itself. His story is one of trust, surrender, and rediscovering purpose through service to others.

Together, Nic and Marla explore how Silver Birch’s timeless teachings—rooted in love, compassion, and truth—offer clarity for our modern lives. They discuss the importance of open-minded spirituality, the power of listening to our intuition, and how children and animals can help us remember our connection to the unseen world.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that spirituality isn’t about religion or doctrine—it’s about remembering who we truly are and how we can bring more light into the world through understanding, kindness, and presence.

Whether you’re new to the teachings of Silver Birch or simply seeking inspiration for your spiritual path, this conversation will uplift your heart and remind you that we are never alone on our journey.

Episode 248 - The Sacred Dialogue Between Mothers and Spirit Babies with Anne-Claire Le Bihan

in , ,

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, I welcome Anne-Claire Le Bihan, Spirit Baby Medium and Spiritual Fertility Guide, who helps women connect with the soul of their babies and reclaim the sacred power of motherhood.

Anne-Claire shares how she guides women to tune into their intuition, clear energetic blocks, and open their hearts to deep connection with their Spirit Babies. Her work is rooted in love, empowerment, and the belief that motherhood is not just a physical path, but a spiritual one — a journey of alignment, trust, and co-creation with the soul who is ready to come through.

We talk about the transformative power of listening to our bodies, trusting our soul path, and creating space for joy and possibility. While Anne-Claire also gently holds space for grief and loss, her message is one of hope: that every woman carries within her the wisdom and connection to walk this sacred journey with grace.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

  • What it means to communicate with your Spirit Baby

  • How to reconnect with your intuition and raise your vibration

  • The sacred path of conception, pregnancy, and birth as a spiritual journey

  • Ways to navigate challenges with compassion while staying rooted in empowerment

  • Practices to feel supported, inspired, and connected along the fertility and motherhood path

Anne-Claire’s work is a reminder that you are never alone — that your baby’s soul is always near, guiding and supporting you on your journey.
