Collitalks Transformative Conversations
Hi, it's Colli—yes, that Colli from ColliTalks: Transformative Conversations. I’m thrilled to have you here, and I want to share a bit about how this podcast came to life. After all, if I were you, I’d be wondering, “What’s this all about?”
Let me take you back to a crisp winter evening. I was in the back seat of a car, coming home from a figure skating performance, when my brother asked me why I hadn’t skated as well as my friend. I didn't respond, but deep down, I knew—something was missing. My sparkle was gone. As I looked up at the sky, filled with the dazzling Aurora Borealis, hot tears streamed down my face. Not long after that, I lost my mom. I wasn’t even 15.
That night, that moment, ignited a quest—a lifelong search for healing, meaning, and belonging. I spent countless nights talking to the stars, seeking answers. I felt like an outsider in everything, but somehow, the constellations gave me hope.
As time went on, fear of rejection and abandonment shaped my life, even in subtle ways. I started creating patterns of pain, always attracting situations and people that confirmed my fears. It wasn’t until I found Family Constellations and Freedom from Self-Sabotage that I realized the key to breaking these cycles lay within me. Pain became my doorway to transformation.
Through years of training and the guidance of incredible mentors, I’ve uncovered the powerful tools that changed my life. And that’s what I’m bringing to you in this podcast—a space for healing, growth, and the kind of transformation that lights you up from within.
ColliTalks is about more than just conversations. It’s about diving deep into the heart of our struggles and emerging with wisdom. You’ll hear from experts in systemic trauma, family constellations, epigenetics, and more, who will help unravel the mysteries of the mind, body, and spirit.
I’ve spent 32 years working in evolving consciousness, helping people transform their lives by understanding their energetic inheritance and family lineage. Now, I’m honored to share this journey with you—because your transformation matters. Your unique spark matters.
So, if you’re ready to dive deep, awaken your highest self, and create a life that reflects your true identity, join me and my incredible guests. Together, we’ll explore what it truly means to transform.
