What if the quiet nudge inside you—the one whispering there’s more—isn’t wishful thinking… but wisdom?

Today on Call IT in With Dar, you’re going to meet a woman who knows, firsthand, what it means to rise from survival into self-expression. My guest, Lorraine Pursell, shares her powerful journey from an abusive marriage and deep depression to a thriving life of modeling, counseling, and helping women all over the world live what she calls their Great Big Life.

After more than 30 years as a women’s counselor and coach, Lorraine is passionate about helping women stop living the life others expect of them—and finally say yes to the life that’s been calling their name. In this conversation, we talk about how dreams don’t arrive with a roadmap, but they do arrive with clues. Lorraine breaks down how identifying what you truly desire, taking small aligned steps, and trusting your intuition can create real, lasting change—at any age.

She also shares some of her beautiful tools, including her powerful “Column of Light” exercise, and tells inspiring stories of women who’ve shifted careers, reclaimed their bodies, reversed age-related issues, and finally stopped postponing joy.

And because Lorraine believes dreams need nourishment, not pressure, she’s offering listeners a free 30-day Dream Life Guide with her most powerful affirmations and a visualization to help you quiet imposter syndrome and step forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this all there is?”—or felt that pull toward something more meaningful—this episode is for you.

Let’s call it in… your dreams, your truth, your Great Big Life with “Call It in With Dar”!

Today I’m joined by Dr. Alison J. Kay, an internationally recognized expert in holistic healing, energy medicine, and applied mindfulness. Alison is an award-winning, #1 international bestselling author and the creator of the Vibrational UPgrade™ System, a powerful approach that blends ancient wisdom from Asia with modern science to help people live with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.

In our conversation, entitled “A New Set Point for Innocence” Alison shares her personal journey into energy medicine and meditation, and why she believes that nearly 95% of our daily choices are unconscious—shaped by past experiences, societal conditioning, and subtle energetic patterns. She invites us to move out of “robotic mode” and into conscious living by working with subtle energy, mindfulness, and awareness. We explore the role of the heart chakra in receptivity and co-creation, how to recognize when you’re out of alignment with your higher purpose, and what it truly means to allow yourself to ask for more—more vitality, more joy, more possibility. Alison also introduces a free vibrational clearing and activation, designed to help open new pathways for growth and transformation.

This is a beautiful, expansive conversation about self-awareness, trust, and upgrading your inner energy so your outer life can rise to meet it. You’re going to love her grounded wisdom and compassionate perspective. SO call in your smiling heart! “Call IT in With Dar”!

Today’s episode is one of those conversations that stays with you long after you’ve listened. My guest, Anda Nix, is an intuitive somatic life coach, postpartum doula, and the founder of Cauldron Coaching — and she’s someone who has walked through the fire of chronic pain and come out the other side with a deep, embodied wisdom.

Anda opens up about the years she spent navigating pain, the unexpected trip to Mexico that cracked something open in her, and the health crisis that forced her to slow down and finally listen to her body. That turning point pulled her toward breathwork… meditation… somatics… and eventually into the world of postpartum doula work and nervous system healing. Over the past decade — while living with both autism and ADHD — Anda has gathered a toolbox of practices that help highly sensitive and neurodivergent women shift from overwhelm into lives that actually fit them. In this conversation, she explains the power of energetic sovereignty and introduces the Mother STAR Method for grounding, discerning what’s yours and what’s not, and staying open without losing yourself.

And she’s wonderfully practical. Anda walks us through simple somatic tools like the “pleasure sandwich” and the “Blue Pyramid,” designed to bring safety, softness, and calm back into your body — even on the most overstimulating days. She’s also offering you a free module from her upcoming Mother STAR course, so you can begin experiencing this work firsthand.

Settle in, take a breath, and let this conversation remind you that your body is not the obstacle — it’s the doorway. Let’s dive in to Call IT in!!!

Her clients often describe the experience as finally being understood on every level: mind, body, and soul.
