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:
