  • Ep 11: The Spiritual Path to Profit: Unlocking Your Next-Level Business Self with Kanika Vasudeva
    Jan 14 2026

    This week, host Camisha Blackburn sits down for a deeply expansive and illuminating conversation with Kanika Vasudeva, an Energy Expansion Coach and Akashic Records Reader. In this episode, they dive into the intersection of soul purpose and business strategy, exploring how inherited blocks and ancestral patterns can keep us playing small in a "10-watt" life when we are meant to glow at a thousand.

    Kanika shares her powerful journey from a high-pressure corporate engineering career to a spiritual awakening sparked by a profound personal loss. This conversation offers a roadmap for "unplugging" from the 3D world of hustle and captivity to enter a 5D state of flow, alignment, and effortless abundance.

    Listen in as Camisha and Kanika reveal:

    • The Akashic Library: What the Akashic Records actually are and how Kanika uses this "mystical library" to identify the specific soul-contracts and blocks hindering your growth.

    • The 3D vs. 5D Business Shift: The fundamental difference between a structured, performance-based career and a heart-led, expansive business where "time" is no longer the currency.

    • Ancestral Money Blocks: Why 95% of coaches struggle with pricing and visibility due to generational survival patterns and "witch wounds" passed down through lineages.

    • The Science of "Money Pockets": A fascinating look at how we energetically hold—or drain—wealth, and how to expand your capacity to receive high-ticket clients.

    • Awakening Through Loss: Kanika’s vulnerable story of losing her daughter and how that experience served as a "soul contract" to wake her up to her true life’s mission.

    • Frequency Attraction: Why clearing your energy field makes you a "magnet" for clients in the most unexpected places—from the hair salon to the dentist's office.


    • Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    • The 10-Watt Bulb Analogy: How dimming your light to keep others comfortable is a disservice to the world, and why your authenticity gives others permission to shine.

    • Observing Your Patterns: Why self-doubt is the ultimate "saboteur" of business growth and how to reframe your self-worth to match your income goals.

    • Operating in Flow: Understanding that once energetic friction is removed, execution that used to take years (like writing a book) can happen in a single month.

    • Mission-Driven Success: Why the most successful entrepreneurs are those who prioritize their "soul calling" over simple KPIs.

  • Ep 10: Demons, Patterns and Power: Tina Djuretic on Reclaiming Your Life
    Jan 7 2026

    This week, host Camisha Blackburn sits down for a deeply honest and transformative conversation with author and writer of Finding My Sovereignty, Tina Djuretic. In this candid episode, they explore the shadowy world of family cults, the lasting impact of severe isolation, and the profound spiritual and psychological work required to break the line of generational trauma.

    This conversation covers the beautiful, messy, and rooted reality of reclaiming your self-worth after a toxic relationship, offering listeners profound insights and actionable wisdom for their own healing journey.

    Listen in as Camisha and Tina reveal:

    • The Cult’s Shadow: Tina’s transition from a free-spirited child to a life of extreme isolation and "fear-mongering" within a fanatical religious environment.

    • The Mirror of Addiction: How the patterns of control and manipulation learned in childhood drew Tina into a seven-year relationship with an addict—and why she felt responsible for "saving" him.

    • The Exorcism Aftermath: The lasting psychological impact of witnessing an exorcism at age 12 and the realization that fear creates a low-vibration "target" for darkness.

    • Somatic Trauma Release: A fascinating discussion on how suppressed childhood trauma manifested as chronic, debilitating back pain that only cleared through spiritual and energy work.

    • The Pattern Pivot: Why the problem isn't just the partner, but the subconscious patterns that make toxic dynamics feel "comfortable" and familiar.

    • Iron-Clad Boundaries: Tina’s journey of "un-learning" the peacekeeper mantra to stand in her own sovereignty and self-worth.


    • This episode is a testament to the power of personal accountability, the strength found in solitude, and the belief that you have the power to "clean up" your vessel and provide safety for your inner child.


      Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    • Observing vs. Feeling: How empaths can regain control by choosing to "switch from feeling to observing," ensuring they don't carry others' pain as their own.

    • The Self-Forgiveness First Rule: True healing begins when you forgive yourself for the patterns you repeated before you can even begin to forgive those who harmed you.

    • Healing the Vessel: Understanding that your body holds onto trauma like a physical injury, requiring intentional work to release the "tentacles" of the past.

  • Ep 9: The Chameleon’s Game: Healing from Covert Narcissism and Toxic Relationships with Kasia Dodd
    Dec 31 2025

    This week, host Camisha Blackburn sits down for a deeply honest and transformative conversation with clinical psychologist, theologian, and author Kasia Dodd. In this candid episode, they explore the shadowy world of "Chameleons"—covert narcissists who mirror your identity to trap you in a cycle of drama—and the profound spiritual and psychological work required to break the line of generational trauma.

    This conversation covers the beautiful, messy, and rooted reality of reclaiming your self-worth after a toxic relationship, offering listeners profound insights and actionable somatic wisdom for their own healing journey.

    Listen in as Camisha and Kasia reveal:

    • The Chameleon’s Lure: How covert narcissists use "mirroring" to make you feel like you’ve met your soulmate, only to pivot toward a 180-degree shift of blame and victimhood.

    • The Intelligence Trap: Why being "too smart" or highly educated (even as a therapist) doesn’t protect you from the subconscious patterns that draw you into toxic dynamics.

    • Generational Strings: Kasia’s powerful discovery of the link between her grandmother’s narcissism and her own relationship, and the mission to "finish the line" of inherited trauma.

    • The Inner Parent Theory: A revolutionary shift from the "Inner Child" concept—understanding that your core self isn't broken, but your "Inner Parent" structure may need to be rebuilt to provide safety and boundaries.

    • Somatic Healing Tools: A frank discussion on the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and the Inherence Process as a way to process intense trauma on the spot.

    • Bio-Individuality in Relationships: How your personal history and energy field dictate your healing process and why your journey to peace is uniquely yours.


    • This episode is a testament to the power of personal accountability, the strength found in "un-learning," and the belief that your core self is always perfectly whole, just waiting for a healthy Inner Parent to guide it home.


      Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    • Awareness vs. Experience: Intellectual knowledge of narcissism is different from the deep, somatic experience of breaking a toxic pattern.

    • The Power of the Inner Parent: Healing is less about fixing a "wounded child" and more about turning your "Inner Parent" away from external people-pleasing and back toward your own soul.

    • Ending the Cycle: You have the power to be the "end of the line" for generational trauma through intentional, deep-field work.
