Episode 23 — Unlearning the World to Find Your Soul Daina Hughes on Grief and Healing

In this deeply introspective and soul-nourishing episode, we sit down with Daina Hughes, a soul coach, energy healer, and co-author of Ask & Tell: Spiritual Conversations That Ignite Growth. Daina opens up about the heartbreak that catalyzed her spiritual awakening—the tragic loss of her best friend at 18—and how that grief cracked open a deeper search for truth, identity, and healing.

We explore Daina’s transformative journey from skepticism toward spirituality to becoming a respected soul coach with Angelic Healing, a practice founded by her father. Through honest reflection, Daina shares how her healing path led her to challenge societal expectations, redefine success, and lean into intuitive living guided by feelings—not formulas.

She also reveals how her work as a coach is less about telling people what to do, and more about helping them remember who they are, while building the courage to live fully from that truth—even if it means losing relationships along the way.
