Spiritual midwife and intuitive guide Elizabeth Tripp joins James for a conversation on trance channeling, spiritual awakening, and the surrender that follows when life falls apart.
Elizabeth doesn't hand you a map so much as hold space while you remember your way home. We explore why choice sits at the center of her work, her "trauma to gold" practice for finding the gift inside old wounds, and the story behind her name, including the loss of her mentor and the moment she met her own divine nature in the form of a humpback whale named Ohana.
Then, in the heart of the episode, Elizabeth channels Ohana live, with messages on meeting change without fear, how we shape reality through the energy we carry, and the paradox so many of us are learning: that you don't have to keep doing in order to be.
A conversation about transformation, presence, and the quiet courage it takes to trust yourself.
