​​Raised in Ukraine under the Soviet Union's atheistic, engineering-minded culture, Alexandra "Sasha" Tarakanov Plax never expected to dedicate her life to exploring consciousness, past lives, and the soul. Yet a series of profound personal experiences led her beyond the limits of logic and into a decade-long career as a clinical hypnotist and one of the highest-level practitioners of Dolores Cannon's QHHT® method. Today, Sasha has guided thousands of regression sessions and helped countless people discover a deeper understanding of who they truly are.

In this episode, Sasha shares her remarkable journey from skeptic to spiritual explorer, what she's learned from thousands of clients, and why she believes each of us is far more expansive, wise, and capable than we've been taught to believe. We also discuss her new book, A Thousand Days to Yourself, an inspiring guide to self-discovery that encourages readers to trust their inner wisdom, embrace courage, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

​What do astrology, archetypes, tarot symbolism, and past lives all have in common? In this episode of the Radiate Wellness Podcast, host Christi Clemons Hoffman sits down with astrologer and author Carmen Turner Schott to explore how zodiac archetypes can reveal powerful insights about your soul’s journey.

We discuss Turner-Schott's newest book, Astrology’s Zodiac Archetypes: Using Your Sixth Sense to Transform Past Life Patterns, co-written with astrologer Bernie Ashman. Together they explore how the 12 zodiac signs correspond with archetypal energies rooted in the work of psychologist Carl Jung. These archetypes can help us understand recurring behaviors, karmic patterns, and personality traits that may have carried forward from previous lifetimes.

In this conversation, we dive into how astrology connects with ancient concepts like the four temperaments, tarot symbolism, personality theory, and the collective unconscious. You’ll discover how your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs can reveal your dominant archetypes and provide deeper self-awareness, healing, and transformation.

✨ Topics in this episode include:
• Zodiac archetypes and Jungian psychology
• Past life patterns and karmic lessons
• The connection between astrology and tarot symbolism
• The four temperaments and the elements
• Understanding your Sun, Moon, and Rising archetypes
• Symbols, synchronicities, and the collective unconscious

David Delisle, founder of The Awesome Stuff™, Amazon bestselling author, entrepreneur, real estate investor, speaker, and most importantly, dad. He's a Vancouver Island native, and currently resides in Victoria, British Columbia. When David was 11, he made his first investment and by age 20 he had begun investing in real estate. Learning the power of compound growth at such a young age enabled him to quickly become a self-proclaimed finance nerd and semi-retired by age 40.

When he realized that he wanted to pass his knowledge on to his two young sons, David began compiling notes into what would eventually become a graphic novel called The Golden Quest, which was published in 2022. The book is centered around seemingly simple concepts that hold the power to transform your mindset and everyday habits.

​His goal is to offer us a new way to think about money by noticing the weight of our words, choices, actions and the world around us. David loves to teach kids (and adults) how to live a richer life and create the freedom for what is most important to them… the Awesome Stuff™.
