Leaving a faith tradition can be about far more than changing what you believe.
For some women, especially those raised within highly structured or high-control religious environments, faith can become intertwined with identity, family, motherhood, morality, community, and an entire understanding of how life is supposed to work.
So what happens when those beliefs no longer resonate?
In this episode of Soulreign, Amanda M Dodd speaks with Audra Phelps, NLP Practitioner and Coach, about the complicated and deeply personal process of rebuilding identity after leaving the LDS Church—and how the lessons apply to women navigating faith transitions and major shifts in identity more broadly.
Audra founded Mama Audra to support women, particularly mothers, who are navigating the grief, uncertainty, guilt, loneliness, and identity loss that can accompany a faith crisis or departure from a high-control organization.
Her message is simple but powerful:
You are not alone. Your emotions are valid. And you are worthy of love and support while you figure out what comes next.his podcast is brought to you by Healing Beyond Trauma — Hypnotherapy & Trauma-Informed Coaching.

Grief can feel overwhelming, and many people struggle to navigate their emotions during such a difficult time. In this blog post, we explore insights shared by Bonnie Poirier, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and minister, who has dedicated her life to helping individuals cope with grief. With her unique blend of hypnotherapy and spiritual guidance, Bonnie offers a fresh perspective on healing and personal development.

About Bonnie Poirier

Bonnie Poirier, M.S., CHt., has spent decades working in hypnotherapy and spiritual ministry. Her journey began with her own struggles with anxiety, leading her to discover the transformative power of hypnotherapy. Bonnie’s experiences have equipped her to support others through their grief, helping them find solace and healing.

The Intersection of Grief and Hypnotherapy

Understanding how grief affects us on multiple levels is crucial for healing. Bonnie explains that working through grief can lead to profound personal insights and healing. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our vulnerabilities and the power of connection in the grieving process.

The Role of Spirituality in Healing

Bonnie shares how spiritual practices, such as meditation and energy healing, play a significant role in her therapy sessions. By integrating these practices into her work, she creates a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and connect with their inner selves.

Aha Moments in Grief Work

Through her experiences, Bonnie discovered many "aha" moments that transformed her approach to grief work. She learned to let go of her own judgments and connect with clients on a deeper level. This ability to witness others’ pain not only aids in their healing but also brings forth Bonnie’s own emotions that need to be addressed.

The Healing Benefits of Mediumship

Bonnie discusses the healing potential of mediumship for those coping with loss. She describes a powerful case where a mother found healing after losing her daughter to violence. The connection facilitated by a medium provided crucial insights and comfort that traditional therapy could not offer. By allowing clients to hear messages from their loved ones, they can release burdens of regret and guilt, paving the way for healing.

In the latest episode of the Soulreign podcast, Amanda M Dodd sits down with the multifaceted Shawn Kostiuk, a hypnotherapist, educator, and public speaker. Shawn shares his fascinating journey into the world of hypnosis, shedding light on how his upbringing and experiences shaped his career. This blog post explores the key insights from their conversation, offering readers a glimpse into the life of a man who wears many hats and the intriguing world of hypnotherapy.
The Start of a Unique Journey
Shawn’s story begins in rural Saskatchewan, where growing up in a quiet area left him with ample time to explore his interests. With limited distractions outside of his small town, he found solace in the imaginative realm of science fiction. His exposure to the Sci-Fi channel sparked a curiosity about hypnosis, which he initially viewed through the lens of mind control portrayed in various media. "If I could do that, I could control the world," he mused, highlighting a common misconception about hypnosis.
Education and Discovery
Shawn’s true understanding of hypnosis began during his time at the University of Saskatchewan. He discovered a wealth of knowledge in the library, transitioning his perception of hypnosis from a fantastical concept to a legitimate practice. "In university, I found real information and realized this is pretty cool," he recalls. This pivotal moment ignited his passion for learning more about the art and science of hypnosis.
The Role of Education in Hypnotherapy
As an educator, Shawn emphasizes that traditional education methods are evolving. He explains that not all students thrive in conventional academic settings, and alternate pathways should be available. His experiences resonate with Amanda, who recounts a teacher who encouraged her to pursue her passions outside of the traditional educational framework. Shawn’s journey reflects a growing awareness in the educational system about the diverse needs of students.
Connecting with Students
It's clear that Sean's dual role as a hypnotherapist and educator enriches his interactions with students. "Once they find out that I'm a hypnotist, they all scream, ‘hypnotize me!’" he laughs. This curiosity leads to discussions that challenge their perceptions of consciousness and awareness. Shawn cleverly engages his students by asking them when they think they fall asleep, prompting a deeper reflection on their understanding of their own minds.
A Foundation in Clinical Hypnosis
Shawn began his career focusing on clinical hypnotherapy, driven by a desire to understand the craft thoroughly. "Reading all the books is one thing, but you need to double-check that you actually know your stuff," he explains. His commitment to mastering the practice led him to seek out certifications and courses that would enhance his skills, setting a strong foundation for his future endeavors in both clinical and stage hypnosis.
The Evolution of Learning
In a world where technology is rapidly changing education, Shawn advocates for micro-learning and democratized access to knowledge. He discusses new AI tools that facilitate personalized learning experiences, emphasizing the importance of maintaining high standards in a digital age. This insight is especially relevant for educators seeking to adapt to the evolving landscape of learning.

In this expansive and consciousness-opening episode of Soulreign with Amanda M Dodd, Amanda is joined by Gila Zak! The Intrigue of Handwriting Analysis

Gila Zak explains that handwriting analysis, or graphology, is not just an esoteric practice but also a blend of critical thinking and creativity. She refers to it as a form of "psychic statistics," where certain handwriting traits correlate with specific personality traits. For example, if someone writes with big, loopy letters, they may require physical connection and reassurance, indicating a need for emotional intimacy.

The Evolution of Handwriting

Both Amanda and Gila discuss how handwriting changes over time, reflecting personal growth and transformation. Gila emphasizes that as we navigate through life, especially during pivotal moments like puberty, our handwriting evolves to represent our individuality. This is particularly evident as we differentiate ourselves from our family and societal influences.
