For the past fifteen years, I’ve been on a deep healing journey. I regularly engage relative strangers in conversation about topics relating to consciousness, transformation and psychedelics (sometimes to their annoyance). I've been dancing around starting a podcast for a couple years now. My imposter syndrome has kept me thinking I don't have anything worthwhile to share, while I vainly attempt to find a community with whom I resonate. I've been fortunate to work with some really gifted practitioners during my journey. They not only gave me tools to heal, they gave me PERMISSION to heal. My intention in producing and distributing The Permission Slip podcast is to share knowledge of their talents with the rest of the world. Many of us have been programmed to believe that healing only comes from those in the medical profession who have gone through a particular set of training protocols. This is not true. Doctors and therapists and the like are (mostly) well-meaning and very good at what they do. Sometimes, more often than we are maybe lead to believe, what they recommend or do is not what is truly needed for healing. In the spirit of the following passage, I'm committing to a minimum of six podcasts that will be discussions with practitioners and healers from whom I've derived personal benefit. The purpose of this effort is therefore to shed light on the diverse ways of healing as well as moving into right relationship with oneself.

Joanne grew up in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood in a devout Catholic household, and I loved hearing how her earliest questions about faith and fairness — asked in religion class and met with detention instead of answers — set her on a lifelong search for a bigger framework. That search led her to Edgar Cayce, Ruth Montgomery, and eventually The Search for Bridey Murphy, the book that cracked reincarnation wide open for her as a teenager.</p> <p>We talk about how she built her career from there: joining Edgar Cayce's A.R.E., founding her own past-life organization, earning her hypnotherapy certification, and later a master's in transpersonal studies. Joanne walks me through her two areas of focus — past life regression therapy and soul writing, a channeled form of written meditation she learned traces back through figures like Mozart. I shared my own recent past-life regression experience with her, including how the information came through for me not as imagery (I'm aphantasic) but as a distinct, located sense of "hearing" answers.</p> <p>The conversation gets especially compelling when Joanne shares case studies from her research — a man whose arthritis was confined only to his thumbs, traced back to a Civil War cavalry soldier who used his sword to disable enemy soldiers without killing them, and a woman with chronic sciatica linked to a past life as a jealous ballerina in revolutionary France, whose victim turned out to be her daughter in this lifetime. We also get into soul contracts, why some souls choose disability or hardship as a teaching tool for those around them, and why she sees a roughly 35% rate of spontaneous healing once clients understand the origin of their condition.</p> <p>Joanne closes by sharing what's next for her: a new book, Why Are There So Many Cleopatras?, answering the most common questions people ask her about reincarnation, and a new podcast called Healing Through Past Life Exploration.</p> <p>Joanne DiMaggio, MA, CHt, is a respected expert on the topic of reincarnation and Soul Writing.™ A member of Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) since 1987, Joanne earned her master’s degree in Transpersonal Studies and her Spiritual Mentor certification through Atlantic University.

]]> S1 | E15 Janell Riedl - Pilates Instructor & Intuitive https://thepermissionslip.fireside.fm/s1e15-riedl 28168212-a60f-4f7c-a407-523b0de77c25 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 08:00:00 -0600 Matt Kosterman full 1 Matt Kosterman In this episode, I talk with my Pilates instructor and friend Janell Riedl, whose intuitive, body-based work has helped unwind decades of tension and trauma for me. We explore how the body holds emotion, how release actually happens, and how Janell blends Pilates, energy work, and nervous-system awareness into a powerful healing practice. This is a conversation about letting go, trusting your body, and following the path that leads you back to yourself. 1:15:03 yes <p>Join me as I sit down with someone who has been a beautiful and powerful force in my healing journey — my Pilates instructor and friend, Janell Riedl.<br> After resisting the call of Pilates for a long time, three years ago I found Janell. She has been guiding me unwinding my twisted fascia, waking up dormant muscles, getting overactive muscles to calm down and helping me release decades of stored tension and trauma. She is not your typical Pilates instructor; Janell is also an intuitive, an energy worker, and a teacher in the truest sense — someone who learned the hard way, followed her intuition, and kept leaning into the deeper layers of her own evolution.<br> We talk about her path from theater major to bartender and aspiring rock star, to leaving a toxic relationship, to living with an energy intuitive in Oregon who cracked her open to her real gifts. We chat about how the body stores emotion and how shaking can reprogram the nervous system. Our talk ventures into why letting go is harder than holding on, and how intuition guides her work with clients.<br> We also dive into spiritual openings, core unwinding, fear conditioning, ego, and why you can’t heal a body you’re judging. This episode is a small window into the magic that happens when someone merges technical mastery with intuitive knowing.<br> This is a conversation about healing, trusting your path, and remembering that the journey is the point.
