Business Wellbeing, Soul Purpose & Spirit Healing

🌟 Finding Balance, Purpose & Intuition in a Changing World

A Conversation with Healer & Podcaster Alison McWhinnie

On this special guest episode of the World Predictions Podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Alison McWhinnie—a healer, wellbeing advocate, retreat facilitator, and host of the Wellbeing for Business Podcast.

Our conversation covered everything from nutrition and sleep, to economic stress, to spiritual purpose and psychic intuition. It quickly unfolded into a rich, grounded discussion about what it means to stay well, purposeful, and spiritually aligned in times of change.

Below is a full recap of our conversation, along with Alison’s insights, personal stories, and practical advice.

🧘‍♀️ Wellbeing & Business: Why They Can’t Be Separated

Alison’s YouTube presence and new podcast explore a connection many people feel intuitively but rarely articulate: your personal wellbeing directly shapes your business wellbeing.

She interviews entrepreneurs, holistic practitioners, and business leaders who have learned—sometimes through burnout—that success and health are inseparable.

Whether you're an employee or self-employed, your wellbeing is the foundation of your productivity, stability, clarity, and creative flow.

🦷 The Overlooked Link Between Oral Health & Wellness

I started by sharing a personal story: a recent dental appointment and a lesson in self-neglect. Alison laughed and reassured me that I’m not alone—many people put off caring for themselves until something hurts.

She emphasized that oral health affects far more than we realise, impacting digestion, inflammation, and overall wellbeing. Even small lapses can trigger issues that ripple through the whole system.

Her message was clear: don’t wait for discomfort to prioritize yourself.

🥗 Eating for Energy, Immunity & Stability

We dove into the topic of nutrition—especially during winter. Alison highlighted some core wellbeing habits:

• Eat proper meals and avoid grazing on the go

• Start the day with breakfast

• Stay consistent with eating times

• Support the immune system with vitamin C, zinc, probiotics, and, when needed, iron

• Use nutrition as a foundation for emotional balance

Eating well isn’t a luxury; it’s an act of grounding and self-respect.

😴 Sleep: The Most Underrated Healing Tool

If there was one topic Alison spoke passionately about, it was sleep. For her, sleep is the ultimate regulator—where the body recalibrates, the mind clears, and the nervous system resets.

She recommends:

• Creating a calming sleep environment

• Reducing caffeine

• Avoiding heavy meals too late

• Ending the day with meditation, deep breathing, or soft music

• Allowing darkness and silence to soothe the subconscious

Sleep is where healing, problem-solving, and even spiritual alignment occur.

💸 Anxiety, Politics & Economic Uncertainty

Many people today feel overwhelmed by rising costs, political conflict, and media negativity. Alison sees this every day in her clients.

Her solution is a return to inner grounding:

• Morning and night meditation

• Connecting with spiritual guides or one’s higher self

• Listening to calming music (she loves Gregorian chants)

• Writing down gratitude's and intentions

You can’t control the world, she reminds us, but you can tend to your inner world—and that’s where all change begins.

🌱 When Life Feels “Off”: A Sign You’re Ready for Change

A major theme that emerged was the increasing number of people who feel stuck, restless, or unfulfilled.

Alison views this not as a crisis, but as a spiritual nudge. Sometimes dissatisfaction is simply your soul whispering, “You’re ready to grow.”

She encourages people to explore new directions slowly:

• Research new career paths

• Try things part-time while keeping current stability

• Trust your intuition during transitions

• Seek guidance from mentors and business networks

Transformation doesn’t need to be dramatic; it just needs to be honest.

💡 Confidence Blocks, Fear & the Myth of the “Big Break”

So many budding entrepreneurs face the same hurdle: fear. Waiting for a perfect moment or a big break often keeps people stuck.

Alison’s advice?

You don’t need a huge opportunity—you need momentum. She recommends organisations like:

• Local Chambers of Commerce

• Federation of Small Businesses

• Omni Local networking

• Business mentors and coaches

Sometimes the biggest shift comes from a single conversation, not a miracle.

🔥 Turning Setbacks into Lessons

We spoke about how people often start something, stop, start again, and end up frustrated. Alison reframes this cycle as a psychological process, not a failure.

In her world, there are no failures—only feedback. Review what worked, what didn’t, and what can change next time. Every attempt is information.

🔮 Intuition in Business: A Secret Superpower

One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was Alison’s view on intuition in business.

She believes—and I agree—that successful people use intuition constantly, even if they don’t label it as such.

She shared a powerful story about a banker who used intuition to climb to the top of his career and accumulate significant wealth. His “instinct” was actually finely tuned intuitive guidance.

Your intuition isn’t mysterious; it’s a natural tool.

✨ Alison’s Healing Journey

Alison trained for:

• Two years in Spiritual Healing at the Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary

• One year in Animal Healing with Elizabeth Whiten

Her healing work supports both humans and animals through contact healing and distant healing, including sessions over Zoom.

Clients often experience:

• Deep relaxation

• Emotional release

• Tingling or warmth

• Connection to higher states

• Profound calm as the nervous system shifts into healing mode

Her work blends technical knowledge with heartfelt compassion.

🏹 Meeting “White Bow”: Her Spirit Guide

One of the most touching stories Alison shared was meeting her guide, White Bow. During a Zoom event, a medium described a man appearing behind her. Alison had been sensing him for months—but the confirmation led to a wave of emotion.

Her guide’s message: “You are in the right place. Keep going.”

It’s a message many of us need to hear.

🚨 A Life-Saving Intuitive Moment

In one unforgettable incident, Alison felt someone she knew was in danger. She reported her intuitive vision—only to be dismissed. Thankfully, colleagues listened. They searched and found the person unconscious in a ditch.

Alison’s intuition saved a life that day. It remains one of her most powerful experiences as a healer.

🌿 Upcoming Wellbeing Retreat – 2026

In spring next year, Alison will host a boutique wellbeing retreat in the Surrey Hills. Expect:

• Yoga

• Sound baths

• Massage therapy

• Healing sessions

• Nature immersion

• A picturesque venue with pool, tennis courts, and countryside views

A perfect reset for anyone feeling called to reconnect with themselves.

🌟 Final Thoughts

My time with Alison reminded me of something simple yet profound: Wellbeing is the bridge between who we are and who we’re becoming.

When we nourish ourselves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—we open the door to clarity, purpose, and intuitive flow.
