This episode speaks directly to the core of this podcast project- it's a must listen. Nat is joined by fellow psychic medium and licensed therapist Joanna Hartshorne. Joanna shares her experiences of being a child actor, her journey within mental healthcare, and how acting and mediumship exercises are kind of the same.
Nat and Joanna explore how working through the colonized lens of fearing spirit communication can allow for our collective healing and liberation. They also discuss how common a god complex can be in mental healthcare, spiritual spaces, and the acting world.
Joanna is a Black/mixed-race, neurodivergent, queer therapist dedicated to supporting People of the Global Majority and LGBTQIA+ survivors of institutional and relational trauma. She works from an anti-colonial, holistic lens. Joanna loves working with clients to reestablish a sense of internal safety; reconnecting to the body, curiosity, joy and pleasure to heal and allow for deeper relationships and experiences.

Episode 6 Interview with Vanessa Lightbody: Rehabilitating Our Imaginations
Ok wow. I had the privilege of speaking with Vanessa Lightbody about healing, spiritual work, and ancestral ways of knowing. In this episode they share about their own journey of healing, answering the ancestral call, and understanding that their life's work is bigger than just themselves. They generously share and acknowledge how lonely this path can feel, as we resuscitate what was attempted to be destroyed, and how the core of our spiritual work is rehabilitating our imaginations.
“Vanessa Lightbody is a black/mixed race non binary mystic, writer and wanderer who provides relational healing and energy medicine for highly sensitive beings. They come from a line of people who served Spirit and received their ancestral calling in 2017 to add their contribution to this living wisdom. The roots of their practice are held in the teachings of their human lineage and in the more-than-human world through the knowledge systems of earth mentorship, mysticism and interspecies storytelling. They love working with folks who are venturing into the heart of mystery, bringing forth the song of their soul and answering the call of our mother earth towards rewilding belonging.”
