Navigating 2024 Ascension Energies
June 28, 2024 19:39 - 28 minutes - 66.3 MBQuick note: I mention the YouTube version in the audio...but alas, there is no existing video anymore. Long story short, the video didn't export properly and I didn't make sure of that before deleting all the files that I used to create the final video. A moment of silence please... Today's podcast is my take on navigating ascension energies--the collective energy surges that are making you feel tired, sick, disconnected, etc. If you feel like you're on the verge of your next level, bu...

I Failed 75 Hard Phase 1...
April 18, 2024 17:50 - 18 minutes - 42 MBI made it all the way through 75 Hard, the initial phase, with no big issues. I figured the 30 days of Phase 1 wouldn't be that big of a deal...and I failed on day 24...right in the middle of Mercury Retrograde, too. And no, I'm not blaming Mercury Retrograde! However, the energy of this retrograde is particularly rough, and this is all an opportunity for growth--to teach ourselves resilience and self-accountability. To admit defeat without feeling like a failure AND without using it as an ...

The Truth About Bringing Joy Back
April 03, 2024 13:18 - 30 minutes - 70.7 MBI want The Joy Project to be authentic, and that includes acknowledging the reality that when you ask for something (like more joy in your life), the universe goes to work making it happen... But that can also mean that things need to get shaken up first. Some things that you've avoided dealing with will come to the surface to be dealt with. This is you making the energetic space in your body and your auric field so you have room to ACCEPT what you asked for! So we're just going ...
The Joy Project
March 27, 2024 23:56 - 34 minutes - 78.4 MBI'm still getting the message that I need to have more fun again, be more playful and not so serious over trying to reach my goals--because of course it's the having fun that will actually bring them to fruition! I pulled a couple cards for you, share my own message on why joy is a sign of strength and power in this world, and introduce The Joy Project, a personal journey I invite you to join me on in your own way starting April 1 (not an April Fool's joke lol). Make sure you're follow...
Back to the Basics: Stop the Overwhelm
March 27, 2024 18:14 - 25 minutes - 58.2 MBWe have seriously over-complicated practically everything in life (as a collective, but it filters to the individual!). It's time to remember that things don't have to be so hard. I'm not saying you should expect life to be easy by any means. I AM saying that we're making most things harder than they need to be. So how do we fix that? We go back to the basics. Lay the foundation first. MASTER the basics before expecting anything to fall into place. If this episode resonates...
Spiritual Awakening: Ego Death and Rebirth
March 06, 2024 08:00 - 37 minutes - 85.1 MBEgo isn't necessarily "having an arrogance about you." In the spiritual sense, it's not good or bad, it's just the human part of us that's seeking identity. The problem comes when we get so wrapped up in that identity and external purpose that we go unconscious again--we can't let go, which means we can't evolve. We really forget and lose touch with who we really are: spiritual beings, a soul, having a human experience. Listen in for the main key to ego death to spark the spiritu...
You're the One in Control
February 07, 2024 22:36 - 20 minutes - 47.1 MBDid you feel an unexplained energy slump recently too? I had a great weekend, and then on Monday, even small things that didn't really matter seemed to hit me harder than they should've. I really couldn't navigate my way out of that funk! But it also felt like I just needed to move through it, and by the next day, I was better. Because of that, I opted for a card reading for today's episode! A message of courage, abundance, and joy came through, and I'm excited for you to hear it...
Finding Your Purpose When You Feel Lost
January 31, 2024 08:00 - 30 minutes - 70.4 MBThe Fire Within 2.0 challenge was all about sparking the fire in your soul again, reigniting your motivation and creativity (and you can catch the replays for free for a couple more days!). But what if you're in a really tough space, where it's hard to find joy no matter how badly you want to? Where it feels like you've lost your purpose and you're not sure about anything anymore? I don't have a guaranteed solution I can promise, but I humbly offer the audio from a spontaneous Da...

Soul Purpose: Alignment vs Separation
January 17, 2024 18:37 - 22 minutes - 51.7 MBWhat does soul alignment really feel like? How do we know if we're there or if we're in soul separation? Does alignment really bring ease along with it? And how do we even find it in the first place? If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your social media, and remember to tag me! Sign up for my next FREE experience, The Fire Within 2.0 to help ignite that fire within you before the Rise program begins. Find your confidence and begin to align with your purpose! ...
You Are Not Your Root Chakra
January 10, 2024 08:00 - 22 minutes - 51.8 MBI believe we are not meant to deny our human-ness. We are here as humans for a specific purpose: soul growth and ascension. But there is a collective root chakra imbalance right now. Many are stuck in the root chakra. Some are dealing with a reality of instability and not feeling safe, some are pretending they've figured it out while ignoring their reality, and still others might actually have it figured out but now that they feel the safety and stability in their root, they're unable ...
Mental Toughness Alongside Divine Feminine Energy
January 03, 2024 08:00 - 32 minutes - 74.8 MBWe're back with a new name, The Fire Within, and it's time to get down to business. The energy in my life is shifting, and I can feel it in the collective, too. We're coming back to balance. I feel like this new year really is a fresh start, a shift back toward balance. I realized I'd been more in my wounded feminine and wounded masculine energies, and I feel truly ready to shift toward the divine versions of those energies. It's a balance between mental toughness (masculine energy, a ...
Letting Go of the Old Version of You
November 15, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 56 MBIf you feel like you're constantly running into obstacles and maybe even failing on your journey to improve yourself, become your higher self, ascend spiritually, etc... It actually might be a sign that you're on the right path to success...but maybe you're just clinging to tightly to the old version of you, unwilling to let go of that which no longer serves you. Listen in for a powerful message on letting go, and how the 30-Day Confidence Challenge is meant to shift and complete...
Patience and Divine Timing: Is Your Manifestation Already Here??
November 08, 2023 19:16 - 13 minutes - 30.1 MBSometimes we get so focused on what we've been trying to currently manifest that we don't stop to realize that we're living something we asked for ages ago. Clearly this stops us from being able to express true, proper gratitude for receiving it! It sucks to be told over and over again to be patient, but we need to allow God/the Universe to work and make the shifts for us that need to happen, AND we need to slow down and notice what HAS been given to us. I highly encourage you to...
Gratitude When Everything Sucks
November 03, 2023 02:54 - 18 minutes - 43.3 MBIt's been a REALLY ROUGH two weeks for me. This energy surrounding the full moon and eclipse has brought cranky kid energy and physical sickness into our space. And yet card readings and spiritual messages brought in repeated reminders for gratitude and presence. So today I'm talking about how to have gratitude when everything seems to suck, and hopefully in a way that's different from the usual tips that just make you go, "Yeah, I know..." ;) Most notably, I'm sharing a prayer t...
What Being Made Fun of As a Kid Taught Me
October 25, 2023 22:36 - 31 minutes - 72.6 MBBack in episode 3, I told some of the stories from my childhood that contributed to my lack of confidence, loneliness, and sadness. A lot has evolved in my journey even since that episode, and it feels like the right time to lean further into what this entire life's journey has taught me so far... All in the hopes that it might help uplift you and encourage you to take the reins of your own life, your own confidence, your own journey. I highly encourage you to join me for my bran...
If You've Ever Wished to Be Someone Else
October 18, 2023 15:12 - 23 minutes - 53.5 MBGrowing up being made fun of, left out, and just generally feeling lonely and invisible led me to wish quite often that I could be someone else, maybe someone famous that I liked or even just one of the popular girls in school. But I had a moment the other day where I suddenly realized how true it is that we still don't know what anyone else is actually going through despite what we see. And how I can look at those same people I used to wish to be...and see how amazing and important it...
Raising Your Frequency Is Not Woo-Woo--It's the Most Important Work You Can Do for Yourself and the World
October 11, 2023 14:43 - 29 minutes - 67.8 MBSome people will see that title and laugh. I know it sounds silly and superficial. I mean, isn't helping others the best way to change the world? After a good few years of going on this journey, I believe that while real-world help is always needed, doing intentional personal work to raise your frequency is the only real way to effect lasting change on this planet. It's not rainbows and butterflies. There is definite peace to be found in this journey, but there are shadows to fac...
You Deserve to Feel Joy Again
October 04, 2023 11:41 - 25 minutes - 58.1 MBIt can be really difficult to feel joy these days. But with this episode I want to remind you that not only is abundance your birthright, joy is too.

September 27, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 64.9 MBToday we're talking about how we truly create our own reality (brace yourself for a chat about responsibility vs blame), and how practicing non-reaction can help you build your confidence, find peace, and manifest your life in the way you truly want.

A Manifestation Challenge
September 06, 2023 07:00 - 23 minutes - 52.6 MBIt feels like this heavy energy that's been in the collective over the past few months is starting to lift. So I'm personally focused on allowing my own energy to shift FULLY back toward joy, abundance, and gratitude. And I'm refocusing and committing to a few things to help manifest more abundance into my life. Will you join me?

Fitness As Part of Your Spiritual Practice?
August 30, 2023 14:53 - 30 minutes - 68.7 MBYou hear me mention that I'm a fitness instructor in my intro on each episode. Specifically, I'm a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor. And today we're getting into my other wheelhouse--fitness. It's absolutely necessary to take care of all pieces of who we are. We can't neglect our human bodies for the sake of spiritual ascension. If our bodies are suffering, if we're not taking proper care of them, we can't give our spiritual side the attention it deserves. ...
Angel Answers: Is the Light Really Winning Right Now?
August 23, 2023 15:45 - 32 minutes - 74.7 MBYou and I might have different ideas of what "the light" means, which "side" is the "good side," but I believe this is relevant to all of us because personally I believe there are no "sides." We might differ on what we think the path should look like, but we all want the same end goals of happiness, peace, unity, etc. And no matter what, it can feel like a struggle, especially with the constant barrage of negativity and large-scale horrible world events happening all the freaking time ...
You Go First: A Plea for More Positivity in the World
August 16, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 70.3 MBEnjoy the soothing sound of rain in the background on this one ;) I continue to see so many positive videos, stories, etc. be inundated by negative comments, and truth be told, it's bugging me. So this is me encouraging you, myself, and the rest of the world to hold onto hope. To seek out the good (and then not drag it down when we find it). To be okay with going first toward positivity, higher frequencies, and true Christ consciousness. Being a pessimist is the easy way ou...
Tired for No Reason?
August 09, 2023 13:20 - 26 minutes - 59.6 MBWe're in the middle of what's called the Lion's Gate Portal, and personally I have been feeling extremely tired. And while I can certainly point to and acknowledge all the physical reasons for it, I know there's always an energetic reason for it too. In this episode, we're not dismissing the reality of what we feel physically or pretending it's not there, and I'm certainly not diagnosing anyone lol, but today I'm prompting you to examine what the emotional/spiritual reason for your tir...
Navigating the Ebb and Flow of Life, Confidence, and Abundance
July 26, 2023 07:00 - 33 minutes - 75.8 MBThe ebb and flow that comes with life can be pretty frustrating. Personally, I find it hard to keep a high level of consistency across all areas of my life! I'll get motivated and excited and keep things going for a little bit, but then I get discouraged, frustrated, or distracted, and I have even longer periods of inconsistency. So today for the 200th episode, I pulled some cards and wanted to chat about riding the ebb and flow of life, and remembering to take control over the things ...
The Energy of Movement: Listening to Your Body and Your Intuition
July 19, 2023 12:14 - 33 minutes - 77.7 MBThe act of simply physically moving your body can be an incredibly effective way to shift your energy. Today we're talking about why that is, how it relates to your intuition, and we'll even talk about the negativity I've been seeing when people share how positive movement and nature are for us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back
July 06, 2023 14:37 - 41 minutes - 95.9 MBWe're getting serious this week again just because it felt like the right time to finally make this episode. It's been one I've wanted to do for a couple years but ironically held back because I was afraid--everyone automatically assumes this topic is only about the pandemic, and while it definitely factors into today's topic, it's not the main focus. Fear in general is a beast that holds us back from being our full, true selves. And I say it's time to let it go. If this episode ...
How to Be Weird (aka How to Just Be Yourself)
June 28, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 60.9 MBThe first part of my tagline is "embrace your weird," and I realized that both in my own life and here on the podcast, I haven't really talked about it as much as I should. And I definitely haven't been being as weird as I can be--I've probably been taking this all a little too seriously. So it's time for some fresh air. Let's go! If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your social media, and remember to tag me! The membership link isn't quite ready yet! Jo...

Closing the Gap Between Who You Are Now and Who You Want to Be
June 14, 2023 14:25 - 54 minutes - 126 MBToday I'm letting you listen in on Day 1 of The Fire Within!

Embodying Your Higher Self: Reaching the Next Level
June 07, 2023 07:00 - 17 minutes - 40.6 MBWhy does everything have to take such a long time? Why does it seem to take 7-14 business days or 6-8 weeks or 3-6 months or even YEARS to reach the next version of ourselves? While it's not easy, I actually believe it's POSSIBLE to make this change INSTANTANEOUS. But it's also a matter of being able to maintain it...

How to Clear Your Chakras
May 31, 2023 11:53 - 16 minutes - 37.7 MBI noticed that as I began the chakra series of episodes, I started offering different ways to clear each specific chakra but then got away from that as I added more episodes. So here's an all-encompassing episode to give you a few different easy ways that you can work to clear your chakras!

The Crown Chakra
May 24, 2023 12:03 - 41 minutes - 95.5 MBToday we're talking about the crown chakra, the last of the in-body chakras and the ultimate one to open! This is our connection to God (and feel free to insert whatever you like to use--Spirit, Source, Universe, Divine, etc.). This chakra is activated from day 1 but can be very easy to block prior to its full awakening--but it can also be opened at any time, no matter how blocked it has become. I am not here to sway you in what to believe, but I believe that if you have felt dis...
The Third Eye Chakra
May 17, 2023 11:45 - 22 minutes - 52.2 MBToday we're talking about the third eye chakra, the house of your intuition. This is a major chakra that is SO VERY OFTEN cut off in many of us, very unbalanced due to us being taught NOT to trust our intuitive nudges and to look to others for guidance and answers. It's time to re-establish your trust with yourself and your own inner knowing. It's time to strengthen and reawaken your natural intuitive abilities! If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your social...
The Throat Chakra
May 10, 2023 07:00 - 28 minutes - 65.9 MBToday we're talking about the throat chakra! This is the chakra that allows you to express yourself and speak your truth. We'll talk about what a balanced and unbalanced throat chakra looks like and ways to open your throat chakra. And more importantly, we're going to lean into the one necessary part of an open throat chakra that no one really talks about: the ability to LISTEN. If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your social media, and remember to tag me! ...
The Heart Chakra
May 03, 2023 14:01 - 21 minutes - 48.6 MBToday we're talking about the heart chakra. Listen in for how an unbalanced heart chakra manifests physically and emotionally, how your inner child is connected to your heart chakra, and how this is about true divinely sourced love and not the cheesy way people talk about acting from love. If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your social media, and remember to tag me! Join The Energy Within Facebook group! Choose your individual Akashic Records session! ...
Solar Plexus Pt 2: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
May 03, 2023 11:30 - 27 minutes - 63.5 MBI had more to say on the solar plexus, so here we are, talking about personal responsibility, something that I think not enough of us lean into as much as we could or should. This is not about accepting blame for everything that has happened to you, but rather about owning the fact that you always get to decide what you do next (not that it's easy or instantly fixes everything, but that you ultimately get to decide). If this episode resonates, please be sure to share it to your s...

What Is Reiki: Updated
April 05, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutes - 75.2 MBIt's time to get back to basics. It's been about a couple years since I recorded an episode specifically talking about Reiki. And of course, I've gained so much more experience and learned a lot since then, so I decided it was time for an updated "What Is Reiki" episode! If I've left anything unanswered for you, please feel free to reach out with your questions! Starting next week, if all goes to plan, I'll begin a series of episodes all about the 7 main chakras, going in-depth o...
But Seriously, Don't Feed the Trolls...
March 29, 2023 07:00 - 21 minutes - 48.6 MBI fully own that this might be the most gossipy I've ever sounded, but I hope you'll see the true intent behind sharing this story is to help you learn to laugh and shake off internet trolls. And if you have yet to encounter one, to help you not be scared of them. In fact, they say once you start attracting trolls, it means you've arrived. I had a troll once before, but it was on someone else's video. This time...it was on one of mine! Obviously, the TL;DR conclusion is don't fee...
Do This When You Feel Lost or Stuck
March 22, 2023 07:00 - 17 minutes - 39.4 MBAs we enter spring, you're likely more aware of your energy. You probably felt slow, dense energy, perhaps even "stuck" energy during winter, and now with the shift into Spring, you feel that burst of fresh new energy, new beginnings, rebirth, etc. But what if you can't quite shake off all of the stuck energy? You're ready for the new, lighter energy but you're feeling lost, unsure of your next step... I offer you some unconventional advice for how to get through it today. ...
Fixing Problems vs Ignoring Them
March 15, 2023 11:18 - 17 minutes - 39.8 MBWe can't pretend that reality doesn't exist; there are a LOT of problems in this world, no matter which side of any of it you're on. And it's overwhelming, especially when many outcomes look bleak, or it looks like things might get worse. I've always believed on an individual, person-to-person level that if there's a problem that needs to be fixed, it HAS to be talked about. If you ignore it, it will only bottle up and get bigger until it explodes. But I'm starting to wonder abou...
Confidence Comes From Doing the Thing!
March 08, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutes - 72 MBSo often, we think we need to build up our confidence first before we start taking action on the big goals we have, especially the ones that scare us a little. Today, I’m sharing some encouragement and personal examples that show you how the biggest leaps in confidence happen when you DO the thing you need confidence for! It seems backwards on the surface but that really is the best way! We’ll even cover how to keep your confidence and the drive to continue when no one is showing up f...
