Willow Healing Matters Podcast

What if anxiety, guilt, fear, and emotional trauma weren’t actually you… but subconscious programs that could be removed?
In this powerful episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with transformational educator Stacey Nye to explore The F.I.X. Code Technique — a fast and powerful method designed to help clear emotional blocks, negative thought loops, and subconscious patterns that keep people stuck.
Stacey shares how this simple yet profound process helps people release deep-rooted emotions like anxiety, shame, fear of judgment, and guilt — often in just minutes — allowing them to return to clarity, presence, and peace.
We also explore:
✨ What “parasitic emotional programs” are and how they affect your life✨ Why traditional talk therapy can keep people stuck in trauma loops✨ How emotional blocks show up as anxiety, overthinking, guilt, and self-doubt✨ The surprising connection between guilt, stress, and subconscious patterns✨ How The F.I.X. Code helps people release emotional triggers quickly✨ Stacey’s vision for eliminating anxiety and depression through emotional intelligence
If you’ve ever struggled with negative thought loops, emotional triggers, or feeling stuck in subconscious patterns, this conversation will open your eyes to a completely different approach to healing.
About Stacey Nye
Please welcome Stacey Nye — transformational educator, master course creator, and dedicated teacher of The F.I.X. Code Technique.
With a 20-year international career producing some of the world’s largest sporting events, including 4 Olympic Games, a Pan American Games, and the Commonwealth Games, Stacey developed what she calls her “Rubik’s Cube mind” — the ability to see patterns, solve complexity, and bring vision to life at the highest level.
But her greatest transformation began after a deeply personal turning point — what she describes as her own silent hell.
Six years later, her first session with The F.I.X. Code Founder, Daniel Flear, changed everything. In that moment, Stacey made a promise: to understand the technique and teach it to the world.
Today, through her 10-Module training program and transformational courses, Stacey guides people through profound emotional and spiritual shifts with clarity, precision, and grace.

In this deeply moving episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with author, advocate, and nonprofit founder Julie Barth to explore how life’s most painful moments can become the foundation for purpose, resilience, and service.
Julie’s journey is one shaped by extraordinary challenges: navigating the devastating loss of her first husband to pancreatic cancer while raising four young children, parenting a child with special needs, rebuilding her life after emotional abuse, and ultimately transforming her experiences into powerful writing and advocacy.
Julie is the author of Notes from a BlackBerry, From Blackberries to Thorns, and the forthcoming From Thorns to Blossoms. Her books began as deeply personal reflections written during hospital visits while caring for her dying husband—messages she wanted her children to have so they could know their father’s courage and love.
Today, Julie channels those life lessons into both storytelling and social impact. She is the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women-led households facing hardship by connecting them with resources that help restore stability, dignity, and independence.
In this conversation, Julie and Catherine explore:
✨ Grief, widowhood, and rebuilding life after profound loss✨ The hidden realities of emotional abuse and domestic dynamics✨ Parenting a child with special needs and navigating labels✨ Why women must prioritize financial autonomy and self-protection✨ The stigma around asking for help before reaching crisis✨ How trauma can be transformed into purpose and service
Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that our hardest seasons often reveal our deepest strength—and that healing becomes even more meaningful when it helps others rise.

What if creativity could heal trauma — without having to relive the pain?
In this powerful episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with mixed media artist and transformational guide Devorah Brinckerhoff, creator of the Soul Portrait methodology — a deeply embodied healing process that transforms trauma into empowerment through art.
After protecting her children from sexual abuse led to complete family estrangement, Devorah discovered something profound: creativity could alchemize even the most painful experiences. By physically working with personal materials — old letters, photographs, documents, journals — she began disassembling old identities and reassembling herself in truth.
In this conversation, we explore:
* How creativity helps heal trauma stored in the body
* What a Soul Portrait is and how it works
* Why “Nice Girl Syndrome” is a survival strategy
* How to reclaim your authentic identity after grief or betrayal
* Why pushing emotions away keeps them stuck
* The connection between embodiment, alchemy and healing
* How creativity restores self-trust and joy
* Why healing no longer requires reliving trauma
As Devorah shares in the episode, engaging with personal materials allows us to access embodied wisdom that the mind alone cannot reach.
If you’ve ever wondered:
* Can art heal trauma?
* How do I release emotional energy from my body?
* What is embodied healing?
* How do I reconnect with my true self?
* How do I transform painful experiences into growth?
This episode offers both practical tools and deep spiritual insight.

In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani is joined by Sarah McCrum, a leading money consciousness coach who has transformed the lives of over 20,000 business owners and their families.
Most people experience fear, stress, and contraction around money—often without realising how deeply it influences their business decisions, family life, wellbeing, and impact in the world. In this conversation, Sarah shares a radically different, deeply practical way of relating to money—one rooted in relaxation, value, integrity, and love.
Sarah’s work is based on her book Love Money, Money Loves You, which emerged after a profound personal and financial collapse. What followed was an unexpected dialogue with money itself—revealing money as an intelligent, responsive energy that mirrors our clarity, self-worth, and enjoyment of life.
In this episode, we explore:
* Why fear and stress around money are learned—not inevitable
* How contraction actually blocks money flow (and what to do instead)
* The relationship between money, value, service, and integrity
* Why enjoyment and relaxation are practical money strategies
* How responsibility (not blame) restores power in financial life
* Why money responds to self-love and alignment more than hustle
This conversation is especially powerful for business owners, leaders, creatives, and anyone who feels stuck in cycles of pressure, overwork, or scarcity—and is ready for a healthier, more peaceful relationship with money.
