"Joy and gratitude will transmute anything. So if somebody's going through a healing journey, focus on your joy, what lights you up, that's the thing that's going to heal you. So lean into that."

In this enlightening episode of The She Lift Project Podcast, host Cynthia Kirkpatrick sits down with Alara LaPlante, a healer, guide, and what one client aptly called an “illuminator.” Alara shares her remarkable journey from serious illness to vibrant health and spiritual awakening.

The conversation explores how our physical “dis-eases” often reflect deeper spiritual and emotional misalignments. Alara discusses her approach to healing—helping people shed dense emotional energies, reconnect with their authentic selves, and integrate forgotten or fragmented parts of their being. She explains how neurodivergence can be a gift rather than something to suppress, and shares insights about consciousness, Christ consciousness, and the multi-dimensional nature of human existence.

Listeners will be fascinated by Alara’s discussion of various healing modalities, from modern medical sciences to ancient esoteric traditions, and how she integrates these approaches to help clients discover their true purpose. The episode also touches on the healing power of cacao ceremonies, the importance of play in healing generational trauma, and how something as simple as learning to receive a proper hug can be transformative.

Whether you’re on your own healing journey or simply curious about expanded consciousness, this conversation offers wisdom, compassion, and practical insights on becoming more fully yourself and living with greater joy and authenticity.
