Some people enter our lives like a beam of light, awakening something we didn’t know was sleeping inside us. For me, Stewart Pearce was one of those luminous guides.
I first came across his work when I read his book about Princess Diana and his extraordinary role in helping her reclaim her authentic voice. I was fascinated—not just by Diana’s journey, but by Stewart’s ability to help her find the courage to speak from her soul. From there, I began following him on YouTube, listening to his gentle teachings and angelic transmissions.
Princess Diana regularly sought counsel from astrologers and mediums. Arguably, they were more trustworthy than anything the Palace could provide.
One day, I saw that Stewart, who helped Diana prepare to unmask Prince Charles and Camilla’s affair to the world, was offering a special reading, and I thought—why not? Little did I know how profound that moment would be. Not because he told me my future, but because he invited me to step into my sovereignty. He reminded me that I didn’t need to tolerate disrespect, that I could push back when others brought drama into my life, that I could live aligned with my values and stand firmly in what I believe.
Stewart’s book “DIANA THE VOICE OF CHANGE” is an account of Stewart’s experience of Diana during the last two years of her life, when he coached her and became privy to her inner process. It accounts for Diana’s extraordinary effect on all of our lives, and includes many of the empowerment exercises and points of inspiration she used that changed her into the Executive Woman of the world, post-divorce from Charles!
(Recently attending a Banky exhibit inspired my new series, Franksy. You may enjoy my blog, “Why Banksy Inspires My Creativity (and Why I Can’t Wait for the Exhibition This Morning)“)
What moved me deeply was when Stewart shared one of his own stories—how he had chosen to stand for peace, love, and joy. Someone close to him continually traversed those boundaries, and eventually he had to let them go. They screamed, shouted, and hurled abuse. And yet Stewart simply observed from afar, sending them love and light as he walked his own path.
When I faced something similar recently, his words came back to me—especially a phrase he had passed on from his acupuncturist. “Darling,” his acupuncturist had said, “why don’t you get off the fucking tree?” The tree was a reference to Saint Sebastian, who was once tied to a tree while arrows and spears were hurled at him for daring to spread love in a world filled with hate. Stewart’s acupuncturist was reminding him—and, through him, me—that we are not bound like Sebastian. We can simply walk away.
So I did. And just as Stewart had described, the abuse grew fiercer, the attacks more personal. But instead of reacting, I remembered: I had a choice. I chose not to remain bound to that tree. I chose peace, sovereignty, and love.
That choice set me free.
And that is why Stewart Pearce inspires me—not only through his gifts as the Master of Voice and Angelic Emissary, but through the way he lives his truth. He embodies the courage, grace, and radiant authenticity he teaches.

Here is the Amazon description of Stewart’s book:
DIANA THE VOICE OF CHANGE is a call to action for women everywhere, for it begins and ends with love. The essence of this book urges the heart of each woman or man to awaken, to heal any breakage within, and so commit to a flow of empathy as an opening impulse for the mighty voice of change. It was Diana’s greatest desire that through her example each woman or man of the world could find their own authentic voice, expressing their own unique purpose, liberating love to transcend enmity. Diana believed that wherever tyranny existed it would be freed by grace, that wherever cruelty existed it would be freed by bravery, and that wherever the voice of oppression occurred it would be freed by the voice of kindness. In this, Diana was a trailblazer!
This book is like no other, for it throws a very new light on the most famous woman of her time, and the most photographed woman in recorded history. This book tells who in essence Diana was, why her life was filled with the pain of patriarchal repudiation, as well as drawing her into the heights of the love and joy, a force that radiated from her and created immense public acclaim. The book is a record of the internal work she accomplished which enhanced the radiance she brought to bear, which shone into the world with such brilliance. And it is believed that from this telling you to will gain your own dazzling transformation, your own authentic and brilliant signature sound, your own illuminated soul radiance!
For the first time you will discover the truth about Diana’s enlightening life principles: the codes that helped her sustain her love, healed her bulimia and other pain, focusing her extraordinary life and destiny. These same keys may be used to align your destiny, to help you find your soul’s expression, your loving creativity, your voice of change. Which, when discovered will resonate through the whole of your being, assisting you to live your creative purpose and destiny, filling you with inspirational excitement. This is the legacy that Diana wanted to you to have with all of her love!
The revelations I provide in the book are derived from the two years of coaching Diana, and the empowerment techniques will be a powerful reminder to you all, to listen to Diana as an exemplar of love, and thereby to live the force that will literally heal the world.
I highly recommend you purchase your own copy of DIANA THE VOICE OF CHANGE. You may enjoy my blog, They didn’t want her to know this…
Queen of Hearts
I’m thrilled this painting, a tribute to Princess Diana, “Queen of Hearts” has gone home with her new owner. This painting holds a very special place in my heart, as does Diana.
“Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society. It is a goal and an essential part of my life—a kind of destiny.” ~ The people’s queen, Diana
The palette was inspired by my love of flowers, childlike joy and feelings of “joy”, “happiness”, and “fun”—feelings Diana both created and chased.
The beautiful simplicity of Van Gogh, Monet and Cy Twombly’s floral paintings also inspired this artwork. Created during the full “pink” moon energy of Libra during Easter 2023 as I returned to my love of painting with oils and named on the Eve of what should have been Diana’s coronation, under the energy of full Flower Moon, in Scorpio.
Queen of Hearts offers timely elegance and a beautiful way to brighten up your home. I hope she brings my new collector many happy memories
As a side note for those interested in my artist’s process, my partner, a big fan of my work, told me off for altering the earlier version of the work. Like many artists I paint over my creations sometimes in the search for more beauty and more joy. I’ve learned, while have a well-meaning critic to bounce idea off, it is essential to follow my heart. As Princess Diana once said, “I’d like to be a queen in people’s hearts but I don’t see myself being queen of this country. Life is just a journey. Only do what your heart tells you.”
This painting is sold but her sister piece, Diana, is available and on sale~ be quick…there’s only one! You can purchase online, click this link
I hope you enjoy this video where you’ll see me working intuitively and joyfully on a giant colour-infused oil abstract expressionist artwork, “You Are A Princess.”
I began by channelling Princess Diana on the eve when she would have been queen … still the queen of hearts, then, now and forever after. As Pink sings, “Wild hearts can’t be broken.”
In this video you’ll see me working from the middle to nearly the end, in the style that I love—abstract expressionism and action painting in vigorous, rhythmic, lyrical sweeps of colour. I thought about how Princess Diana loved to dance as I created the piece.
This is a continuation of the first video:
How This Artwork Infused with Rainwater is Changing Lives and Spreading Love!
Richard Kay interview for the Daily Mail August 2017 – remembering his last phone call with Diana the night before she died:
“Diana liked punctuality. She was always on time herself and didn’t like to keep others waiting. By rights she should already have been back in London but bad weather had delayed her for 24 hours. She had spoken to me fleetingly from Sardinia where Dodi Fayed’s family Gulfstream jet had been unable to take off.
“The delay meant she would not arrive back at Kensington Palace until Sunday August 31st, when William and Harry were due to join her after their three-and-a-half weeks with Prince Charles and the royals at Balmoral.
“The delay was still on her mind on the evening of August 30 when she rang from the Ritz Hotel. She and Dodi were sequestered in the hotel at that time. According to Lord Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police Chief who investigated her death, it was one of the very last phone calls she made.
“I was driving and pulled over so we could talk. I told her I was in Knightsbridge, close to Beauchamp Place, one of her best-loved shopping streets. She asked me to look in the window of a boutique at a dress she had seen to see if I liked the colour.
“As she spoke hurriedly down the line that warm August evening — her frustration came tumbling out.
“Ricardo,’ as she called me, ‘I’m getting out of all public duties. I’ve just had enough of the constant criticism.’ This was a familiar theme. But there was something in her urgency, her despair even, that was different this time.
“What she planned, she said, was a new direction. Something which she felt would allow her to be in control of her own destiny. Today, 20 years on from her death, and recalling that last phone call, I remember clearly how her voice brightened when she mentioned William and Harry. They were due to spend their last few days with her before school term started.
“Without doubt, she would have been utterly baffled at the criticism earlier this summer that somehow she had abandoned the boys to go off with Dodi. It had been carefully arranged that they would spend part of the summer with their father and an equal amount of time with her.
Even all these years later, Diana remains to me as fresh and as vibrant as she was then. “Our final phone call was over in 40 minutes or so. As I drove home that night, I wondered when she would call next.”
Stewart often speaks of becoming the voice of change, and those words have taken root in me. To be the voice of change is not only about speaking out against hatred, tyranny, abuse and lies in the world—it is about embodying a different frequency.
It is the courage to use our words to uplift rather than diminish, to stand firm in truth rather than collapse into fear, to create ripples of harmony in a world that often thrives on discord. Each time I choose not to be bound to the “tree” of suffering, each time I speak with love instead of reaction, I become a small but vital echo of that change. And that, I believe, is the invitation of Stewart’s work: to remember that our voices are not just sounds, but catalysts.
One of the ways I minister to people’s hearts, as Princess Diana did and as Stewart Peace encourages, is to share my hard-won victories.
Over the past five years, many of us have woken up to a painful truth:
We’ve been played.
Our trust? Abused.
Our kindness? Exploited.
Our lives? Shaped by lies, spun by a propaganda machine wearing a friendly smile.
But once you know the playbook, once your eyes are open to the tactics that despots, tyrants, and narcissists—masquerading as protectors—use to control and confuse, you can begin to play the game of life on your own terms.
And here’s the twist: knowing the rules can be wildly liberating.
Like a Banksy mural on a grey concrete wall, this series invites you to rebel with joy.
To smile while you see the scam.
To laugh—not because it’s funny, but because you’re finally free.
You can lean into fierce joy, become a spiritual warrior, and take a light-hearted approach to fairness, harmony, and justice.
All the while, finding it all—deliciously amusing.
I hope you enjoyed the first book in the Playbook series. These are my lived experiences. As you’ll discover, trumping the bullies, liars, and despots isn’t just about survival. It’s about style. Soul. Sanity.
These are not books to make you bitter.
They’re guides to make you brilliantly awake.
Because once you see through the illusion, you become impossible to fool—and unstoppable in your joy.
And that my friends, is the greatest rebellion!
“Once you see the playbook, you stop being a pawn.”

READERS JOY
a great approach to a sensitive and emotional topic
Again, Cassandra has delivered a beautiful, easy to read book for us. It’s a great approach to a sensitive and emotional topic. As is so often the case, personal experience offers a great basis for a truly meaningful story. As I was reading I kept thinking that this story will resonate with so many people and surely those who have been struggling will find strength and support through these shared words of wisdom. The wisdom is presented in such an easy to read way that hits home and makes the reader feel valued and enveloped in a huge hug of compassion and care. Can’t wait to read the other books coming out in this series.”
As I write, I find myself looking forward to our next call in just a few days’ time. Stewart has invited me to explore what he calls a grand odyssey. At the end of our very first call, he shared a vision he held of me standing with him at the Great Pyramids of Egypt, part of his upcoming tour.
I smiled, laughed, and thought, as lovely as that would be, I don’t think that’s going to happen. But then another voice whispered inside me: why not?
So many of the journeys I’ve embarked on in my life have begun that way—with resistance, with disbelief, with the familiar refrain of “I couldn’t possibly.” And yet, again and again, those were the very voyages that carried me into my own becoming.
Today, as if to confirm this nudge, my daily card from the Out of Life Inspiration Deck read:
Word Wands: Your words can deeply hurt or magically uplift.
Stewart’s invitation and visionary words felt like a wand waved over possibility. Perhaps if I speak my intention—if I word it into being—that joining Stewart in Egypt would be perfect, then the magic can begin to unfold.
Because isn’t that what Stewart teaches so profoundly? That our voice, our vibration, our words are creation itself. That when we align sound with soul, we call into being the life we are meant to live.
