The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist is a podcast exploring the intersection of nervous system science, mental health, spirituality, and healing.
Hosted by Jodi Silverman, LCSW, this show is for therapists, healers, and curious humans who sense that true healing happens below the level of insight alone. Through thoughtful conversations and solo reflections, we explore trauma, chronic pain and illness, altered states, regulation, meaning-making, and what it really takes to help the nervous system feel safe enough to change.
This is a space for grounded mysticism, where evidence-based practice meets soul-level wisdom, and where healing is approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.
Whether you’re a clinician expanding beyond talk therapy or someone on your own healing path, this podcast invites you to listen differently — to symptoms, to stories, and to what’s asking to be integrated.

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.
