What if the heaviest thing you carry was never fully yours to begin with? This episode of Soul Sparks sits with that question directly. Host Shriya talks with international speaker and past-life reader Donna Hartley, a survivor of a plane crash, cancer, and open-heart surgery, about the patterns we may carry from far beyond this lifetime, and the gifts that travel alongside them.
Donna shares her own approach to past-life work, focused less on drama and more on recognizing patterns worth releasing, and walks through concrete steps for naming a pattern, feeling it, forgiving yourself, and moving forward. This conversation offers a gentle, curious way to look at recurring struggles and the quiet gifts that may already be trying to guide you.
About the Guest:
Donna Hartley is an international speaker, author, and past-life reader whose survival story, a plane crash, cancer, and open-heart surgery, has been featured on NBC, ABC, PBS, and in The New York Times. A former Miss Hawaii, she now speaks worldwide and offers past-life readings through her Akashic Records work.
Key Takeaways:
- A recurring negative pattern, whether in relationships, health, or self-doubt, may be worth examining as something to finally release rather than repeat.
- Healing an old pattern involves a few real steps: naming it honestly, feeling it fully, forgiving yourself, and being thankful for what it taught you.
- Old fears can show up subtly in daily life, an unexplained aversion, a specific panic, a pattern that seems to repeat with different people in the same shape.
- A calm daily practice, even five minutes of stillness or time in nature, helps quiet the noise enough to notice these patterns clearly.
- Your gifts are often hiding in what you already love. Paying attention to what genuinely makes you happy is often the clearest signal of where your talents lie.
