S7-EP16: Kristan Swan on Heart Mapping, Self-Discovery, and Coming Home to Yourself

The goal is not to fix yourself.

That one idea sits underneath everything Kristan Swan does. Most of what we are handed about self-work assumes something is broken and needs repairing. Kristan starts somewhere else — with understanding yourself more honestly, and with more compassion than you would usually allow.

In this episode of Spirit Talk Show, Doyle sits down with Kristan to talk about self-discovery, journaling, healing, and what it really means to come home to yourself.

Kristan shares the story behind her journaling practices, Spaghetti on the Wall and Heart Mapping, and how creative reflection helps people move past shame, inherited expectations, and the pressure to keep performing a life that no longer feels true.

Together, they explore the stories we inherit from family, culture, marriage, faith, and fear — and how those stories shape us without our ever noticing. Kristan talks about learning to listen inward, and about building rooms where people can finally tell the truth about their own lives.

This is a conversation about identity, belonging, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to ask: who am I beneath all the roles, expectations, and noise?

A warm, reflective episode for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to begin again.
