In this episode of The Spiritual AI Podcast, Leonie Branson sits down with Carli Evans, coach, energy practitioner, and former parole officer with nearly two decades of experience working in the corrections system.
Carli shares her fascinating journey from studying psychology and forensic psychology in the UK to working as a parole officer supporting individuals through some of the darkest chapters of their lives. Alongside this work, she developed deep skills in energy healing, Reiki, and coaching — creating a unique approach that blends psychological insight with energetic transformation.
Together, Leonie and Carli explore the intersection between psychology, energy work, personal transformation, and self-love, discussing how emotional baggage, trauma, and unconscious patterns can keep people stuck — and how awareness and energy healing can help people shift their lives quickly and powerfully.
This conversation also dives into the global energetic shifts happening in recent years, the awakening many people experienced during COVID, and why slowing down, creating space, and reconnecting with intuition is more important than ever.
