The Radiance Project

In this episode of The Radiance Project, Heidi sits down with artist, writer, and modern keeper of the epistolary arts, Kathryn Hastings.
Through her studio, Kathryn Hastings & Co., Kathryn creates heirloom wax seals designed to last for at least 300 years. Each seal is crafted as fine art — merging historic tools, time-honored symbolism, and meticulous innovation. 
Kathryn reimagines tools of devotion and communication for modern life and generations to come. Her work has been featured on the cover of Victoria Magazine, and in Veranda, Grazia, and The Art of Correspondence. She is also the host of the podcast One Sealed Letter, where she explores the history and enduring relevance of handwritten expression.
In this conversation, Heidi and Kathryn explore:
The sacred slowing down of handwriting

Why permanence matters in a disposable age

The beauty of excellence and refinement in daily ritual

The power of objects that outlive us

And how artistry becomes devotion

Astrologically speaking, Kathryn is a Virgo Sun, Virgo Moon, and Taurus Rising — an earthy trinity of devotion, craftsmanship, and embodiment. And with Venus in Libra in the 6th house, refinement becomes love made visible.

In this episode, Heidi reflects on spaciousness, commitment, and the emotional weather of our times. After a week of meeting new clients and preparing to begin a six-month class herself, she explores what it means to grow over time — and how rest, creativity, and community become lifelines in seasons of collective intensity.
We are being asked to carry more than we can always name. And yet, through astrology, poetry, and the steady work of love, mountains can move.
This episode weaves together current astrological shifts, stories of unity and peace, and three powerful poems that remind us of impermanence, devotion, and hope. Heidi closes with a reminder that this is not a time to go silent. This is a time to create. To love. To show up.

In this deeply grounding conversation, Heidi talks with beloved yoga therapist and meditation teacher Jillian Pransky, author of The Power of the Pause and Deep Listening.
Drawing from over three decades of teaching and a long apprenticeship with Pema Chödrön, Jillian shares how the simple—but radical—act of pausing can become medicine for our times.
Together, Heidi and Jillian explore:
what it means to stop in the midst of a rushing world to meet ourselves with compassion
how to listen more deeply to the life moving through us
the neuroscience of slowing down
how embodied awareness restores clarity
why presence is a skill we can practice anywhere—especially when life feels most chaotic.
 
This episode is a gentle invitation to soften, to breathe, and to rediscover the profound power of the pause.
