  • From Cancer to Cured: How Barry Shimelfarb Turned a Carmel Cottage into a Sanctuary for Healing
    On this episode of The Secret KeepHers, I sit down with the incredible Barry Shimelfarb—founder of Carmel Retreats and steward of Cuddle Doon, known as the Lost Cottage of Carmel. This conversation is deeply moving and full of the kind of wisdom that shows us healing is never just about medicine. It is about place, community, connection, and opening ourselves to the light that is always available. In 2019, as a single father raising twin boys, Barry was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Multiple surgeries and radiation left him unable to swallow and facing a frightening prognosis. During that time, his family's historic Carmel cottage became his refuge. Planting lavender, walking the shoreline, and resting beneath ancient oak trees became simple rituals of hope that helped sustain him physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Supported by community, nature, and an unwavering belief in healing, Barry not only endured—he healed. Two years later, he was declared cancer-free. Out of gratitude, Barry transformed the cottage into a sanctuary for others navigating illness, grief, burnout, or major life transitions. Carrying forward the legacy of its builder, educator and spiritual thinker Eliza Yocum, Barry sees himself as the home's steward—continuing a century-long lineage of restoration, creativity, and renewal. Through Carmel Retreats, he now offers deeply personal, boutique healing stays and his giveback initiative, Postcards of Healing, which gifts free retreat nights during calendar gaps to individuals in need. In This Episode – How Barry turned personal adversity into a mission of service – The healing power of grounding, gardening, ritual, and nature – The mystical history of Cuddle Doon and its 1920s creative lineage – How the Postcards of Healing program works – Why we hide our gifts and how to allow more light into our lives – What gratitude, place, and community mean in true healing Barry's Bio Barry Shimelfarb Founder of Carmel Retreats • Steward of Cuddle Doon In 2019, as a single father raising twin boys, Barry was diagnosed with advanced cancer.

  • Awakening Through the Dark Night: Wendy Luk on Healing and Aligning with Your Soul Mission
    In this episode of The Secret KeepHers Podcast, I talk with Intuitive Healer and Soul Mission Coach, Wendy Luk, about turning pain into purpose. Wendy shares how a season of deep struggle—insomnia, depression, loss, and heartbreak—became the doorway to her healing journey. Through meditation and energy work, she found her calling: helping Lightworkers and purpose-driven professionals align with their higher mission. We discuss what it means to experience a "dark night of the soul," how stuck energy shows up as fear, doubt, or overwhelm, and how we can release what no longer serves us. Wendy's golden takeaway? "We are here to create, to evolve, and to balance." Her message is a reminder that healing isn't about fixing—it's about remembering our power and coming home to who we truly are.

  • From Chronic Illness to Self-Love: My Conversation with Erin Wood on Healing, Faith, and Resilience
    In this week's episode of The Secret Keephers Podcast, I have a powerful and deeply human conversation with Erin Wood about her journey from chronic illness and depression to a life rooted in self-love, spiritual connection, and service. Erin was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at just 16 and later with lupus and a rare blood clotting disorder. She spent decades navigating pain, misdiagnosis, and even multiple strokes, all while searching for answers and hope. Her story is one of incredible resilience, neuroplasticity, and spiritual awakening. In our conversation, Erin opens up about the rock-bottom moment that became her turning point, how CBD oil and mindset work supported her healing, and the profound impact that reconnecting with God and learning to love herself had on her life. This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing isn't linear—and that even when our bodies falter, our spirits can rise. I can't wait for you to hear Erin's story. 👤 About Erin Wood Erin Wood is an ICF-certified ontological life coach, certified spiritual companion, and founder of Empower ME Coaching LLC. Her path to coaching began through her own remarkable journey of resilience—navigating chronic illness from the age of 16, surviving four strokes in her thirties, and facing years of feeling like she was barely surviving. Through the practice of self-love and deep personal growth, Erin transformed her life—rebuilding her health, reclaiming her confidence, and stepping into her power. She went from struggling to stand for 20 minutes at a time to finding joy and freedom in movement again, curling alongside her husband, and building a thriving coaching practice. Today, Erin helps others see themselves as whole, capable, and powerful—guiding them to create lives filled with freedom, joy, and purpose. 🔗 Connect with Erin 🌐 empowermecoachingllc.com 📧 [email protected] Facebook LinkedIn Instagram

Her story touched millions through Good Morning America, People Magazine, ABC World News Tonight, The Tamron Hall Show, and so many other platforms. But Shona's journey didn't end there. She later faced a rare breast cancer diagnosis, walking through the fire of fear, grief, and rebirth. In our conversation, she shares how she: Anchored herself in an unshakable knowing instead of fear Transformed unimaginable challenges into opportunities for spiritual growth Turned her healing into both a practical and mystical journey Became a light for others navigating their darkest seasons Her forthcoming book, Hope in the Forest, is a prescriptive memoir that blends her powerful story with real-time updates, tools, and wisdom to help others face their own challenges with courage and trust. ✨ If you've ever felt overwhelmed by fear or wondered how to lean into your inner knowing in life's hardest moments, this conversation will inspire you and remind you that miracles are real.
