The Beautifully Broken Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Pearly Montagu—an intuitive healer whose work is reshaping how we view biology, trauma, and transformation. After a near-death experience rewired her understanding of health, Pearly awakened with a rare gift: the ability to see emotional and physical pain as vivid color and structure within the body. Her journey from chronic pain to powerful practitioner is nothing short of alchemical.

We dive into what it means to heal beyond the limitations of Western medicine, how energy moves through the body, and why joy, gratitude, and intention might be the most powerful medicine of all. Pearly's story is full of miracles, from releasing decades-old pain to working with legal teams and CEOs by simply “dropping into the field.” This episode will stretch your mind, soften your heart, and leave you questioning what’s truly possible in healing.

Friends, we’re back—together again to explore the kind of magic that doesn't come in a bottle, a scan, or a lab result. In this soul-filled solo episode, I dive deep into a fundamental truth that continues to surface in my own healing journey: health isn’t just physical. It’s about alignment—mind, body, spirit, and purpose.
We’re talking radical remission, the stories we believe about our bodies, and how shifting our perception can literally rewire our biology. I’ll unpack why naming a condition isn’t the same as understanding it, how to avoid getting stuck in a diagnosis, and why sometimes the most powerful medicine is found in community and connection. If you've been feeling stuck, boxed in by a label, or simply looking for magic in your everyday—this one's for you.
