Pregnant with a Lightworker: Loss, Intuition & the New Souls Coming In

Trigger warning: miscarriage / pregnancy loss

In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, I sit down with Intuitive, Energy Healer, Astrologer, and Children’s Author Nicole Lea Turner—currently 36 weeks pregnant with her second child—to talk about pregnancy as both a deeply human experience and a powerful spiritual portal.

We explore what happens when a sensitive, intuitive woman carries a new soul, including how Nicole’s previous miscarriages shaped this pregnancy and the way she relates to the soul she’s carrying now. She shares how those losses, while deeply painful, also felt like part of a larger soul path that ultimately led to this baby.

We talk about:

  • The energetic and emotional shifts she noticed as soon as she became pregnant
  • How this pregnancy has felt like its own spiritual upgrade
  • Why she feels many of the babies coming in now are lightworker souls with a very specific purpose
  • How her intuition, dreams, and inner knowing have changed while carrying this little one
  • The reality of holding both collective intensity and maintaining faith
  • The honest mix of grief, fear, hope, and trust after loss—and how she makes space for all of it

If you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, healing from loss, parenting a sensitive kid, or you just feel that the new souls arriving are here on a mission, this conversation offers validation, perspective, and gentle company on the path. ✨

Beyond the Buzzwords: Twin Flames 101 (and 911) with Catherine Hinkle

Is every intense connection a “twin flame”… or just really loud chemistry? In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller sits down with Catherine Hinkle to unpack the twin flame phenomenon—what it is (and isn’t), how it differs from a soul mate bond, and why this archetype can be both a catalyst and a challenge.

We explore the “why” behind twin flames (growth, mirror work, karmic cleanup), the common pitfalls (spiritualized obsession, breadcrumbing, runner–chaser loops), and how to spot red flags. For practitioners, we offer grounded guidance on ethics and how to offer support rather than demand outcomes. For seekers, we share ways to recover your center, rebuild nervous-system safety, and remember the point: your life, your sovereignty, your soul.

We cover:

  • Twin Flames vs. Soul Mates: frameworks, overlap, and key distinctions
  • The “why”: mirrors, lessons, timing, and unhealthy patterns
  • Practitioner cautions: avoiding prediction traps, marketing ploys, and dependency
  • Self-support: boundaries, embodiment, resourcing, and calling in healthy love

Perfect for anyone curious about twin flames, disentangling from an unhealthy dynamic, or supporting clients with clarity and compassion—minus the hype.

Healing, Energy Work & Ancestral Karma with Edit B Kiss

In this episode of The Karuna Life Podcast, Gina Kitzmiller talks with Edit B Kiss — holistic mentor, success habit coach, #1 best-selling author, Humanitarian Award winner, and international speaker — about what it really takes to move from chaos to inner peace.

Edit shares why she walked away from a 15-year career in petroleum engineering to do trauma healing work, and why true transformation doesn’t have to take a lifetime. We get into why talk-only approaches can stall, and how energy-based work (including Sekhem, Usui Reiki, and ancestral clearing) can create real shifts in how you feel day to day.

We also get practical: why meditation is helpful and how to start raising your vibration now, and Edit’s biggest takeaway for creating lasting change. If you’ve been “doing the work” and still feel stuck, this one is for you.

Beyond the Gatekeepers: Lisa Umina on Elevating Self-Published Books

In this inspiring episode of The Karuna Life, Gina sits down with Lisa Michelle Umina—award-winning author, publisher, and founder/CEO of Halo Publishing International and the Elite Voices imprint. With 20+ years in the industry and over 3,000 titles launched, Lisa shares why she chose the self-publishing path, the gap she set out to fill, and the core values that guide her team’s partnerships with authors. You’ll learn how to make an indie book stand shoulder-to-shoulder with traditionally published titles, where new authors tend to underestimate the work (no shame—just truth and a good checklist), and what Halo’s process looks like from first inquiry to launch day. Lisa also tells the story of an author who nearly quit—and the pivotal shift that brought the book to its readers. If you feel called to write but overwhelmed, this conversation offers your next right step… and the one sticky note Lisa would leave on every author’s desk.

When Pets Speak: Grief, Guidance & Animal Communication — with Catherine Hinkle

Animal communicator Catherine Hinkle joins me on The Karuna Life Podcast to demystify what it means to be a “pet intuitive.” We talk about the first moment it clicked that animals were responding, what a typical reading looks like (and how to prepare), and how messages come through—images, sensations, words—and the validating details that confirm connection. Catherine shares gentle support for fresh grief and families navigating euthanasia decisions—what often eases guilt and second-guessing, what pets most want their people to know after they’ve crossed, the signs and synchronicities to watch for, and simple rituals (including kid-friendly ones) to honor the bond.

Listener Takeaways

  • What pets most want you to know after they’ve crossed
  • Gentle guidance around euthanasia decisions and releasing guilt
  • Simple rituals + one at-home practice to feel closer to a pet in spirit
  • Kid-friendly ways to include children in the grieving process
