If you were born to be the sun, shine brightly - Magda Kasprzyk

We’re kicking off this first guest episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast with a deeply heartfelt conversation with one of the soul cupcakes in my life—Magda. This episode is more than an interview—it's a story of synchronicity, healing, and soul connection. From a chance meeting in LA to long voice notes and zoom calls across the world, Magda and I have walked a parallel path of transformation, hibernation, and rebirth. In this episode, Magda shares her incredible journey:Growing up in Poland and navigating inherited trauma and emotional burdensHer spontaneous trip to the U.S. that sparked our friendshipA solo pilgrimage across Europe that awakened her soulWhat it means to reclaim joy, authenticity, and a sense of self after years of dissociationHow healing through somatic work, love, and spiritual support transformed her inner worldWe also explore what it truly means to become a “spiritual cupcake”—someone who radiates light, nourishes the soul, and sweetens the world just by being. 💗 If you’re feeling the vibes… Subscribe, rate & review to help us grow this sweet little soul space! 🎧 Let’s stay connected: Follow along on Instagram @candacedanielledunaway   Magda of the Forest is a psychologist, psychotherapist, and soul guide for those longing to return to their wild, soft, and deeply authentic Inner Home.
