Rising from the Flames: Alchemy, Ancestral Healing & the Power of Spirit with Kristin Dwan

What if the fire that nearly destroyed your body was the very thing that awakened your soul? In this deeply moving and powerfully mystical episode, Kimberly sits down with Kristin Dwan—a certified hypnotherapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and ancestral healing witch—whose transformation began the day she literally died and came back to life. Burned over 30% of her body, Kristin flatlined during surgery and returned with a spiritual mission encoded in her cells: to help others heal from the inside out. You’ll hear her epic Phoenix story of pain transmuted into purpose, how Spirit intervened in the burn ward, and how she rebuilt her life—spiritually, emotionally, and financially—through alchemical tools like hypnotherapy, moon rituals, and soul contracts. They dive into subconscious reprogramming, the sacred difference between light and shadow work, and how our inner five-year-old is often the one running the show. Kristin breaks down the truth about magic, manifestation, and how ancestral trauma can be healed across timelines. Whether you're navigating your own initiation or just feeling called to awaken your gifts, this episode will leave you lit from within—and ready to rise. 🌕 A must-listen if you’ve ever faced the dark and craved a deeper connection with Spirit.
