   S2E36: It has been a minute! A check in with Karlie & Carla. Clearings, Psychic Surgery, Akashic Records.. Everything in between

   After a months-long hiatus, Karlie and Carla return for a candid, no-agenda conversation about where their practice has taken them since their last recording. They dive deep into their experiences with psychic surgery, how it differs energetically from Reiki and other modalities, what clients can expect before and after a session, and why they view it as a powerful complement (not replacement) to traditional medical care. They also explore the role of clearings as ”pre-op and post-op” work, reintroduce the Akashic Records as a tool for empowerment rather than fortune-telling, and share practical guidance on asking high-quality questions. Whether you’re a longtime listener or newly curious, this episode offers an honest, grounded look at how these modalities fit together and why the human behind the practitioner still needs her own toolkit every day.

   S2E35: Sacred conversation on the Akashic Records, intuition, and finding your own path

   This episode of the Without a Candle podcast is a reflective conversation about spirituality as a lived practice, not a fixed formula. Karlie and Martha explore the Akashic Records, Reiki, plant medicine, creativity, and how to trust your own body and discernment instead of outsourcing your truth. They also talk candidly about trauma recovery, letting go of rigid spiritual frameworks, and what it means to build a practice that actually fits your life.
