The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist podcast is an exploration of the intersection between spirituality and healing in the context of psychotherapy and other healing arts practices. Hosted by Jodi Silverman, Psychotherapist, Reiki Practitioner and Consciousness Guide. Jodi is wildly curious about the human journey towards wholeness and seeks to understand all the ways in which human beings learn, heal and grow. Each episode will dive into conversations with fellow therapists, spiritual teachers and thought leaders with a few solo episodes interspersed with the goal of exploring how the therapist's spiritual practice impacts their identity as a healer.

Power Stories & the Medicine of Myth: Finding Soul Safety Through Storytelling with April Isaacs
In this deeply poetic conversation, I sit down with writer, photographer, and intuitive storyteller April Isaacs, creator of Power Story Tarot Readings and author of The Ecstatic Wanderer. From years spent living nomadically in her van “Firefly” to discovering myth as a mirror for the soul, April shares how story, tarot, and wilderness have become her way of helping others reclaim their personal power.
Together, Jodi and April explore:T
- The difference between being “read to” and being witnessed and why the latter transforms.
- The origin of Power Story Readings and how mythic archetypes can awaken inner guidance.
- Why seeking curiosity instead of certainty can regulate the nervous system and create safety for the soul to remember.
- How storytelling in community (like Way of Council circles) restores collective regulation and belonging.
- Practices for tuning in to your body’s stories through myth, dreams, and ritual.
April reminds us that story is medicine, and being witnessed is sacred. Whether through tarot, myth, or dream, each of us holds a story that wants to be remembered, one that can lead us home to ourselves.
