A grounded conversation about trauma, healing, and what it means to truly hold space.

In this episode, our guest shares her journey from skepticism to spiritual work, moving from not believing in spirit at all to experiencing moments of synchronicity that shifted everything. We talk about how life’s challenges opened the door to deeper listening, and how healing often goes beyond the mind.

She also reflects on her family story, growing up with a mother who survived residential schools and struggled with addiction, and a father who served in the RCMP, and how love, trauma, and resilience coexisted in her upbringing.

From there, we explore how her path led her to support others, beginning with mediumship and readings, and eventually into her work with Maritime Paranormal Investigations. This is a conversation about presence, compassion, and learning to be with what’s hard, without trying to fix it.

In this episode, we sit down with Adrian former Naval Officer specializing in diving and explosives, now renovator, theology student, and devoted admirer of the cosmos.

What begins with humor and playful identity quickly deepens into a raw conversation about life inside military structure, the impact it leaves on mental health, and what happens when the uniform comes off. Together, we explore how discipline shapes the body and mind, how silence becomes survival, and how rebuilding homes, belief systems, and self-trust becomes a form of healing.

Joined by co-host Joe, a longtime friend who knows Adrian beyond titles and roles, this episode holds space for tension, laughter, reflection, and truth. Not as therapy. Not as performance. Just humans witnessing each other in real time.

This conversation is for anyone navigating identity shifts, quiet awakenings, or the long road from service to self.

What starts as small changes in the body slowly turns into something impossible to ignore. In this episode of Dare to Be Us, we sit down for an honest conversation about what it’s like when your body begins to fail you and no one has answers. From pushing through symptoms as an athlete, to being dismissed by doctors, to finally reaching a breaking point that led to a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis, this episode unfolds in real time. We talk about what it feels like to doubt your own body, the frustration of not being believed, and the strange mix of relief and grief that comes with finally having a name for what’s happening. This isn’t an interview, it’s a real conversation about listening to yourself, surviving the medical system, and learning how illness changes the way you see your life. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, ignored, or told “it’s all in your head,” this one is for you. #myastheniagravis #daretobeus #youtubevideo #boxing #diagnosis If you would like to share your story please submit your story in the link below. https://www.thecornerpitch.com/pages/dare-to-be-us-podcast Host: Instagram @daretobeus @thecornerpitch Guest: Instagram @singlesnowflakemg https://linktr.ee/singlesnowflakemg?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
