When healing meets wonder with Dr Rani Bora

How does healing happen when we invite curiosity and wonder into our lives—alongside medical wisdom?

In this episode, Dr Rani Bora – a holistic psychiatrist, coach, and author – joins me to bridge the worlds of medicine and spirituality. We talk about being a “spiritual medic” and how honouring the soul, not just the body and mind, opens new pathways for genuine transformation.

Rani shares candidly about her journey from traditional medicine through coaching, the limitations of an evidence-only approach, and the powerful results she’s witnessed by including the spiritual dimension. Together, we explore the importance of safe, non-judgmental spaces and the ripple effects of support, curiosity, and shared stories – especially for those who might otherwise slip through the cracks in our mental health system.

Key themes:

• Finding healing through curiosity and childlike wonder, both for practitioners and those they serve
• The value of peer support, community, and empowering individuals to own their experiences
• Recognising that at a spiritual level, no one is truly broken—no matter the life challenges

Rani also previews a new community project launching in September, focused on life coaching and holistic support, created with care by herself and her husband, Dr Suraj Gogoi, both holistic psychiatrists.

I’d love to know, when was the last time you let curiosity or wonder shift your perspective—especially when things were hard? What did you notice or learn from the experience?
