Ep 36 — Awakening the Soul: Rebirth, Resilience, and Our Collective Evolution with Galit Raiman and Gabrielli LaChiara

In this second conversation with master astrologer Galit Raiman, Gabrielli LaChiara joins the conversation. It’s a deep and expansive conversation about the Soul — what it is, where it comes from, and how it guides us through cycles of death, rebirth, and awakening.

Together, they explore the connection between astrology, consciousness, and healing — from karmic soul families to the myth of “everything happens for a reason.” They unpack the tension between fate and free will, the acceleration of human evolution, and the vital role of community, empathy, and faith in times of global upheaval.

This episode touches on:

• How our soul’s origin and essence shape our purpose in this lifetime
• The dance between destiny and choice — and how awareness expands our freedom
• Why so many of us are experiencing rebirth within the same body
• The Age of Aquarius and what it means for consciousness, healing, and humanity
• The importance of faith, community, and staying resourced as we navigate global change

It’s a potent, heart-opening reminder that we came here for these times — and that our sensitivity, empathy, and awareness are not burdens, but gifts for the collective awakening.

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Shrifta, a mother and grandmother who’s spent years giving everything she has to everyone else. Together, they explore what happens when life itself stops you in your tracks—and forces you to slow down, listen, and finally turn your care inward. As Shrifta moves through the grief and exhaustion of holding so much for so long, she begins to reclaim something she didn’t even realize she’d lost: her own worth. What unfolds is a tender and powerful moment of remembrance as she anchors into the truth that she is—and has always been—worthy and wise.

✨ Inside this episode:

• What happens when life itself stops you in your tracks — and how to listen when your body says, “no more.”

• The turning point when survival and urgency give way to softness, rest, and self-trust.

• How dismantling the life you’ve outgrown can be both heartbreaking and profoundly liberating.

• A powerful reminder that worth isn’t something you earn — it’s something you already are.

In this episode of the Activate Change Podcast Chloë has a conversation with one of the most influential figures in trauma healing: Dr. Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing®.

Originally recorded in 2019, this conversation explores how trauma lives in the body—and how true healing happens not just in the mind, but at the level of our physiology and nervous system.

Whether you’re brand new to somatics or well-versed in nervous system work, this interview is packed with insights that continue to ripple through the field of trauma recovery today.

What You'll Learn:

• How trauma lives in the body—and why it doesn’t resolve with insight alone

• The link between trauma and chronic symptoms like pain, fatigue, anxiety, and autoimmune conditions
  
  
• What happens when trauma energy is finally released—and how it becomes a wellspring of creative life force to channel in new and exciting ways
  
  
• How sexual trauma carries its own unique imprint, and what healing can look like

• How trauma and chronic stress impacts the immune, endocrine, and digestive systems

• And yes—we even talk about chakras and subtle energy systems, and how they relate to fight, flight, and freeze

• And so much more!

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Elise, who’s in the midst of a spiritual rebirth. After years of defining herself by what she did, Elise is longing for a deeper connection to her spirit—but struggling to trust it. Together, they explore what it means to reclaim a spiritual self in a world that worships productivity, clear the fear of being “too much” or “not enough,” and ask: What if I’m already okay?

Listen as Elise gently releases old family contracts, softens her inner judgment, and shows up in a space of innocent curiosity about who she’s becoming.

Some conversations don’t just offer insight—they offer invitation. To pause. To reflect. To come home to yourself in a new way.

This is one of those conversations.

In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, I (Chloë) sit down with Berwick Mahdi Davenport—also known as Brother M—human development strategist, coach of coaches, father, and creator of the Ego Reduction Formula. Mahdi brings 30+ years of wisdom into this space, and I can honestly say: I’ve never heard someone speak about inner work, difference, and collective healing quite like this.

From the very first question—“Who was little Mahdi?”—we were in it. Tender. Honest. Transformational.

We explore:
✨ The deep inner child work that cracked Mahdi open
✨ Why the shift from fighting racism to building human solidarity changed everything
✨ A powerful story about his daughter that reshaped how he leads, listens, and loves
✨ What it really means to be 100% on your own side
✨ Why embracing your difference might just be your greatest act of service

This episode is an invitation to stop performing wholeness—and start living it. Not by being perfect, but by being radically honest with yourself and fiercely committed to your own becoming.

You may laugh. You may cry. You may find yourself breathing a little deeper by the end.

Be sure to check out Mahdi’s upcoming book The War Against Different and his coaching program, Different in 90 Days.

Here’s a little bit more about Brother M:

Berwick Mahdi Davenport, known as “Brother M,” is a human development strategist and facilitator with over 30 years of experience. A pioneer in life coaching, he mentors and trains coaches, guiding thousands of leaders worldwide. As the creator of the Ego Reduction Formula, he bridges social and spiritual consciousness, helping leaders cultivate authenticity for greater impact. Mahdi is a celebrated author and a devoted father of three daughters.

He is also CEO, Co-Founder of the Human Solidarity Project. CLICK HERE to learn more.

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Sharon, a seasoned energy healer and fierce-hearted mother navigating the tender terrain of family entanglement and ancestral patterning. Raised in a web of triangulation and emotional loyalty, Sharon explores what it means to reclaim her freedom without abandoning her people—or herself. Listen as she disentangles from the role of scapegoat, sheds the inherited contracts of silence and self-sacrifice, and reorients toward a life where her power, presence, and truth are no longer up for negotiation.

Sharon has known and worked with Gabrielli for many years and is trained in The LaChiara Method.

In this episode, Gabrielli has a session with Evyan, a sensitive, deeply loving mother navigating the unraveling of an old identity — the one who rescues, saves, feels, and fixes for everyone else. Raised in an alcoholic family where her body became the emotional alert system, Evyan explores what it means to let go of rescuing as a way of being. Listen as she reconnects with her own innocence, releases the old mission, and remembers that her presence is enough.

This is Evyan's first session with Gabrielli and she is completely new to The LaChiara Method.

And make sure to listen through to the end where Chloë shares some reflections on the save/rescue identity and offers ways to start working with it differently, with more compassion and choice.
