Dreaming the Light
Welcome to Dreaming the Light.
I’m Joanna, founder of Blue Lotus Queendom and co-author of Divine Dreamers. This podcast is a space to explore the mysteries of dreams, rest, and the subconscious — and how they can guide us toward healing, clarity, and inner alignment.
Together, we’ll dive into the wisdom of dreams, the power of sleep and rest practices, and the subtle ways sound and intuition can support us, even in the most difficult times. You’ll discover stories, insights, and practical tools to work with nightmares, anxiety, and restless nights, and to reclaim the gifts waiting in your dreamworld.
