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

In this deeply moving episode of Dare to Be Us, Lisa Dawn shares her extraordinary journey through neurodivergence, loss, medical trauma, and spiritual awakening.

From growing up with undiagnosed ADHD in Canada to surviving a devastating car accident that left her mother in a coma, Lisa reflects on the moment that first introduced her to spiritual medium Shawn Leonard, a turning point that changed her understanding of life, death, and intuition.

Lisa opens up about the deep bond she shared with her mother and her dogs, the grief that followed their passing, and how repeated medical dismissal nearly cost her life. She recounts her near-death experience, where she received powerful messages from her mother and a vision of her future path as a healer.

This episode is a story of rebirth, love, and awakening, and a reminder that sensitivity is not a weakness, intuition is real, and healing is possible.

In this episode, Kelly opens her heart and her history, from surviving a painful marriage and raising her children alone, to walking through the deepest challenges of addiction, mental health, and grief within her family. Through it all, she found her path as a medium, a healer, and a woman guided by spirit.

We talk about the moments that shaped her gifts: the visions, the messages, the connection to nature, and the divine guidance that arrives when she meditates, writes, and prepares to support others. Kelly shares the powerful story of a spiritual encounter that affirmed her calling and reminded her that the spirit world is always closer than we think.

This conversation goes beyond the personal. We explore the systemic wounds, especially within Indigenous communities, marginalized families, and people living with mental health struggles. Kelly’s story reminds us that spirituality isn’t an escape; it’s a way to reclaim power, honour ancestry, and transform pain into wisdom. This episode is a testament to resilience, justice, and the unbreakable bond between healing and truth.

In this powerful episode, Ruth sits down with Lisa Doucette and Elaine for a deeply honest conversation about healing, spirit, and the unseen support that guides us through life’s hardest moments.

We explore Reiki as a pathway of awakening, how ancient teachings connect to the present, and Elaine’s unique experience receiving messages from spirit while navigating the structure and discipline of military life.

The conversation flows into Jesus as a master healer, the insights from Dolores Cannon’s “Jesus and the Essenes,” and the reminder that every challenge carries a lesson and that spirit is always working to protect us, redirect us, and open us to who we are becoming.

A warm, soulful episode about trust, guidance, and the many ways healing shows up when we choose to listen.

In this episode, Elaine reveals how grief, spiritual sensitivity, and years of unexplained paranormal activity guided her toward her purpose as a clairvoyant, hypnotherapist, and paranormal investigator.
