On Mind Over Matter, host Anya sits down with Donna Hartley—international speaker, past-life reader, and author of the “Fire” trilogy—to unpack how unresolved patterns may echo across lifetimes and show up as recurring relationships, health issues, and stuck emotions. Donna shares a near-death experience from a DC-10 plane crash, three open-heart surgeries, and the inner work that helped her reframe pain as a path to evolution. We get practical on intuition, meditation, nutrition basics, nature therapy, and how to spot karmic loops (including family patterns) and close them with accountability and forgiveness.   About the guest  : Donna Hartley is a past-life reader, international keynote speaker, and author of a “Fire” trilogy. Her work blends storytelling with practical tools to help people identify and heal repeating life patterns.   Key takeaways: Past-life lens is a tool, not an escape: use it only to identify patterns you can heal now through honesty and action. Health patterns can mirror old emotional imprints; medical care plus inner work (forgiveness, truth-telling) can shift outcomes. Intuition is data: heavy heart, low energy, frequent illness, and persistent depression can signal misalignment. Minimum viable practice: meditate 20 minutes, three times a week; set a clear intention and allow answers through dreams or quiet time. Food is mood: track added sugar (5 g ≈ 1 tsp); lower junk intake to sharpen focus and leadership. Nature is a reset button: ground outside, breathe, move—especially when ruminating. Close karmic loops: identify the repeating denominator (often you), own it, and change the behavior. Saturn-return windows (~27–31, ~54–61, and later life) often force course-corrections—use them intentionally. Follow-through beats inspiration: calendar it, use checklists, and ask “Is this for my highest good?” before committing. Relationships from “other times” aren’t guarantees—test for equality, voice, and mutual growth in this life.   Connect with the guest:   Website: https://donnahartley.com/ Free resource: Guided ocean meditation on her homepage.
