Remembering Who You Really Are: Soul, Healing, and the Power of Possibility

One of the things I love most about my podcast is when conversations take us somewhere we never planned to go. That’s exactly what happened when I reunited with Natasha Braniff. We’d spoken before, but this time we went deeper into creativity, healing, ancestral patterns, and the quiet callings of the soul.

What unfolded was a reminder that life is less about having everything mapped out and more about trusting the flow, following those nudges, and remembering who we really are beneath the layers.

Creativity in an AI World

We began with creativity. Both Natasha and I use AI as a supportive tool, but we also recognise its danger: when we let it replace imagination. Our imagination is where our genius lives. Like a muscle, it can weaken if we don’t use it. As children we dreamed freely, but conditioning told us to “grow up” and stop imagining. The challenge is to bring that childlike wonder back into our adult lives so our essence doesn’t get dulled.

Healing as Remembering

Natasha and I spoke about healing, but not in the traditional sense of fixing something broken. Healing, as she described so beautifully, is really a remembering. It’s peeling back layers of conditioning, fear, and ancestral patterns so that our true light can shine. Sometimes that remembering comes from surprising places, ancestral work, past life regression, or simply paying attention to what triggers us in everyday life.

What if the blocks you’re experiencing in business or relationships aren’t “yours” at all, but echoes of generations before you? Studies show trauma can be passed down genetically, stored in our DNA. And yet, when we recognise it, we can rewire it. That realisation is deeply empowering.

Following the Soul’s Nudges

The deeper thread running through our conversation was trust. We often feel stuck at a fork in the road, paralysed by the fear of choosing the “wrong” path. But what if the path itself doesn’t matter as much as who we are while walking it? When we’re aligned with our soul, the right doors open, synchronicities appear, and life flows more easily.

And here’s the most liberating part: your purpose doesn’t have to be grand or glamorous. You don’t need a huge stage or millions of followers to live your calling. Sometimes your purpose is as simple and as profound as being fully yourself in every room you enter, lighting up those you meet along the way.

Life Gets to Be Easy

We also talked about the belief that life has to be hard. What if that’s not true? What if everything we’ve gone through has simply been an initiation, preparing us for the next level? When we stop forcing, loosen our grip, and take inspired action instead of endless action, life feels lighter. The flow returns.

Natasha said something that stayed with me: when you’re on your deathbed, you won’t wish you worked harder or chased more followers. You’ll wish you laughed more, loved more, and lived more in the present.

And isn’t that the point?

This episode is a soulful exploration of imagination, ancestry, healing, and possibility. If you’ve ever felt stuck, if you’ve wondered about your purpose, or if you simply need reassurance that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, this conversation will light you up.
