Free Your Past
June 22, 2021 18:00 - 9 minutes - 6.25 MBIn this episode I talk about my own experience with exploring my inner child and freeing my past. My story is not one of major trauma but of pain that we didn't know we hold from childhood which ultimately dictates our actions and behaviors as we grow older. This process of healing the inner child has proven to be of benefit as I have felt shifts within myself lately. It does not need to be a scary thing and in some ways the process is simple. I have only just begun but I hope my own exp...

Your triggers are your guide posts that are pointing you in a direction that is necessary for your spiritual and personal growth. You are being asked to dig deeper and release that which is no longer needed in where you are going. In this episode I share a personal story of being triggered and how it literally changed me from within. I also share some recommendations to help you understand an...
It’s Time to Make a Choice
June 01, 2021 19:00 - 8 minutes - 6.15 MBIn this episode I talk about the energy of resistance we have felt for the first half of the year. This resistance is the push and pull of the old and new, and this energy has felt pretty intense so far. This is a powerful time when our world is undergoing significant change. This means this change is also happening within us whether we know it or not. We are slowly letting go of the old so we can move into something new and better. In this episode I share a few reminders to help you le...
The Push and Pull
May 25, 2021 16:00 - 7 minutes - 5.42 MBIn this episode I talk about the intense energy I have been feeling in the month of May. It's felt like a constant push and pull that has not let up. May of this year is a month of big change, and we are going to first experience these major shifts internally. We are solidifying our desire to choose a new way of being that is better for us and for the collective whole. Our collective consciousness is expanding. In this episode I share some recommendations on how to best navigate this ...
You’re Exactly Where You’re Supposed to Be
May 18, 2021 16:00 - 8 minutes - 6.06 MBIn this episode I provide a reminder of why you are where you are now, why you are facing the challenges you are facing, and how to help you accelerate your growth along your path. If life feels hard or you don't feel like anything is going the way you would like it to, you are being asked to see your situation from another perspective. There is something within you that needs to shift, and it will if you allow it to. In this episode I share a few reminders on how to change your perspecti...
How to See Your Signs
May 11, 2021 16:00 - 10 minutes - 7.02 MBIn this episode I talk about how messages are always available to you from your higher self if you pay attention. Over the last few years, I have paid more attention to the signs and messages I have been getting, where as i the past I would brush them off as a coincidence or nothing of any importance. The truth is, you have the ability to connect with your higher self, Source, or your guides and receive guidance and answers from them as you navigate through your challenges and your life jo...
Poison Ivy
May 04, 2021 14:00 - 9 minutes - 6.37 MBIn this episode I share my recent experience with nature. I have always considered my self a city girl but over the last few years I have been drawn more towards nature. This year I decided to take up a little bit of landscaping to add to the beauty of Spring I see all around me. In my initial attempt to clean up my yard, I got a rash from poison ivy. In this episode, I share what this experience taught me and the messages I received that applies directly to all aspects of my life right ...
It's Time to Pay Attention

Feeling Like a Fraud
April 27, 2021 17:00 - 8 minutes - 5.52 MBIn this episode I share my personal experience of feeling like a fraud on my spiritual journey. There are definitely times when I feel like I am not being completely myself or I am missing the sides of me that I have not had the opportunity to express lately. During a session on the reiki table I was able to get more insight as to what I was feeling. In this episode, I share my personal insights and a few messages for those (like me) that need to hear it.
Come Undone
April 20, 2021 16:00 - 7 minutes - 5.13 MBIn this episode I talk about a song I heard recently that I can't get out of my head. It's called Come Undone by Duran Duran. As music has the power to do, this song always had the power to cut deep into my emotions and take down the walls that give me strength. At a time of so much change, it does feel like so many things are coming undone. In this episode, I talk about being deeply aware of how so much change is affecting you. There are times you need to let your walls comes down and a...
There is No One Way
April 13, 2021 17:00 - 10 minutes - 7.02 MBIn this episode I talk about how there is no one way to do something or accomplish, experience, or achieve something. While we may think that there is only one way or that someone else knows THE answer, you know deep down there is always another way or a better way for you. In a world filled with access to advice, tutorials, and teachings, it is important to not get caught up on what others are doing or what you think you should be doing. The most powerful factor that determines your pers...
Creating Safety Within Chaos
April 03, 2021 17:00 - 10 minutes - 6.95 MBIn this episode I talk about how to find your safety when the world around you feels in chaos. When things seem to keep going wrong or when things seem to not be going your way, it becomes easy to get stuck in your own fears. When you can't seem to find hope in the outer world, it makes it even more difficult to believe things are actually working in your favor. You are being asked at this time to find your security from your Source not the outside world and to know you are truly safe. T...
It’s Going to Be a Good Year
March 30, 2021 16:00 - 11 minutes - 7.97 MBIn the first episode of season 2 I discuss where we've been, where we are, and where we have the potential to go this year. Whether you realize it or not, you have already moved into a higher level of consciousness from where you were a year ago. You can see things and feels things at a deeper level of knowing and intuition. As you look to the year ahead, you know deep down that this year will be a good year despite what may be happening around you. You may not recognize this knowing yet...
In the End
November 03, 2020 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.55 MBIn this episode I talk about how a song I heard recently took me back 10 years ago when I was going through a big transition in my life. The song reminded me of the shock, anger, and uncertainty I felt at the time. However, it was also a reminder of how it was the beginning of something so much better. Hearing the song now brought out all those same emotions and a knowing that this is another big transformation for all of us. Endings can be hard but we need to be very purposeful when nav...
What Do You Believe?
October 29, 2020 16:00 - 8 minutes - 6.1 MBIn this episode I discuss the importance of allowing yourself to change beliefs in times of change. Holding onto old beliefs that no longer serve you will keep you from what it is you truly want in your heart. In order to fundamentally experience change for the better, old beliefs systems need to break down, so new supportive ones can take their place. Sometimes it takes a crisis to show us the truth about ourselves or the world we live in. Its often big disruptions or challenges that ge...
You Don’t Need to Feel Desperate
October 27, 2020 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.8 MBIn this episode I talk about the feeling of desperation. It is a feeling driven by fear. We have all felt it. It happens in times of uncertainty when your mind gets fixated on wanting a particular outcome to happen in order to alleviate your fears. The problem with desperation is that it keeps you focused on what you fear and, therefore, it keep you stuck in suffering. If you want a particular positive outcome to come to you, you must focus on allowing that outcome to come into your lif...
Ask For the Truth
October 20, 2020 15:00 - 8 minutes - 6.11 MBIn this episode I share a little about when my spiritual journey began. I talk about how during times of awakening, confusion, and uncertainty, I found myself going within and asking for truth. Seeking your own truth is an important part of the spiritual awakening process. By asking for truth you will be given answers that are meant for you to hear. You may find you will be led in directions you never expected to go in, but your mind, consciousness, and world view will expand. In this e...
Choosing to Trust Your Higher Self
October 16, 2020 18:00 - 10 minutes - 6.97 MBIn this episode I share a bit about my journey of trusting my higher self. In 2016 I lost my job and I was terrified of what would happen next. I lived through the fear and uncertainty when everything I thought was certain no longer felt certain or secure. I knew I had to make a choice between my head and my heart/higher self. While it seemed so scary, I had to start trusting my higher self. When you trust this part of you and believe you are being guided by a much higher power towards ...
The Devil = Fear
October 13, 2020 16:00 - 10 minutes - 7.49 MBIn this episode I talk about a lesser know book written by the famous Napoleon Hill called Outwitting the Devil. Hill wrote this book in 1938 after he published his widely popular personal development/business book called Think and Grow Rich. This book was hidden away for over 70 years because it was considered controversial in nature. It was finally published in 2011 and offers an interesting perspective on the Devil which really resonated with me. Specifically, the idea that it is fear ...
The Debate and Your Mirror
October 01, 2020 19:00 - 10 minutes - 7.32 MBIn this episode I reflect upon the first presidential debate of 2020 and how it was such a trigger. From feeling so off the next morning to seeing that maybe it wasn't so bad after all. As we are all confronted with things that upset us and make us angry or annoyed, remember we are collectively going though a significant change. We are constantly being shown things the need to change for the better. Change must start from within before we see it reflected on the outside. In this podcast ...
Confusion Will Lead to Clarity
September 29, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 6.86 MBIn this episode I talk about the fact that we are all feeling confused about what is going on in the world right now. Therefore, It is important to recognize your confusion and not just ignore it. Ask yourself - Why am I confused? Why doesn't this make sense? The feeling of confusion is your catalyst to seek clarity, to dig deeper, and to seek your answers. If you don't then confusion only leads to chaos, and chaos creates more fear. The Universe is intelligent and nothing is random. T...
Are You Frustrated?
September 24, 2020 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.83 MBIn this episode I talk about how its natural to feel frustrated when things are going the way you want or planned. Feeling frustration is a pushing against what is and where you are at right now. We are moving through an extraordinary period of change and not having clarity on where the world is going creates frustration in our bodies. In order to move through these times of uncertainty and upheaval with more ease, it important to remember to surrender to where you are at. Know that everyt...
Wax On Wax Off
September 22, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 7.49 MBIn this episode I talk about how we are all going through a spiritual training right now. Everything we are doing or being led to do has a meaning. Whether you spent the last few months taking up home projects like me, doing new things, taking care of others, learning new skills, or just found more time to rest and just be - it's all for a reason. I talk about how seemingly small unrelated things are actually preparing us for bigger things in our life. It's like the movie The Karate Kid ...
Remove Fear by Living Moment by Moment
August 06, 2020 15:00 - 9 minutes - 6.32 MBIn this episode I talk about how the anticipation of things either good or bad greatly impacts our emotions and our reality. Our minds make things out to be worse than what they actually are. By noticing your own mental patterns, you can consciously change them to bring yourself back to a neutral state of mind. When you are balanced mentally and emotionally you automatically create a much better reality and experience for yourself. In times like these, it is easy to feel fear and worry a...
Sadness is Part of Transformation
July 23, 2020 17:00 - 9 minutes - 6.34 MBIn this episode I talk about my experience with my current feelings of sadness. With so much uncertainty and fear in the world, many people are going through emotional swings. As I process my own sadness, I am reminded about a time when I went through a major change in my life 3 1/2 years ago. I share my story in this episode as an example of how our bodies process change with emotion. Sadness and grief are part of the process of transformation. If you are truly changing, then part of y...

Change Your Perspective
July 21, 2020 15:00 - 11 minutes - 8.1 MBIn this episode I talk about about how you can quickly change your experience by changing your perspective. Everything can be seen from another perspective. There is not one truth. Typically we perceive things only one way and believe it to be our truth. However, by seeing things a new way, you can create a new and better reality for yourself with little physical effort. This is easier said than done; therefore, it takes conscious effort to change our conditioned thought patterns and be...

Groundhog Day and Breaking the Cycle
July 09, 2020 12:00 - 10 minutes - 7.27 MBIn this episode I talk about one of my favorite movies from 1993, Groundhog Day, and how the wisdom in this comedic movie is very relevant to what we are experiencing today. When I saw this movie many years ago, I only viewed it as funny and entertainment. However, I see so much more in it now. As everyday feels the same and we grow tired of this new cycle of reality, this movie is a reminder of what really needs to change before the world can change. As the chaos continues outside of us...
How to Find Creation within the Chaos
July 02, 2020 14:00 - 9 minutes - 6.8 MBIn this episode I talk about how things are intensifying again in the world around us. With this intensity comes increased fear. As the energy around us intensifies, know that within this energy is also the energy of love, light, and miracles. Within the bad, there is always good. At this time it is important to recognize the good that is being born from the chaos. By focusing on positive change you will fuel more positive change. In this episode I offer some suggestions to help you se...
Change is Happening from Within
June 30, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 6.98 MBIn this episode I talk about how our bodies are going through changes that our minds may not yet understand as we prepare for a new and better time in our lives. Unexpected challenges or negative emotions that are coming up now, is your body's way of purging old stuck beliefs and emotions that no longer serve you. You are being asked to address issues you might have avoided or face your fears, but its likely much easier than you think. You are changing from within and its all leading you ...
Listen to Your Intuition
June 18, 2020 17:00 - 11 minutes - 7.59 MBIn this episode I talk about how its your own intuition that will guide you through this time. As the world around you continues to be uncertain, you are being guided to go inward to seek answers to your questions. As the economy starts to open up, decisions that were once so simple have bigger consequences. Knowing what to do will come from inside of you. This is the time to follow what is calling forth within you. The world is changing and you are been given the opportunity to open up...
Opening Up to Receive
June 16, 2020 14:00 - 8 minutes - 5.55 MBIn this episode I talk about our current opportunity to take advantage of this time of "opening up". As business start to open up in a new way, we will begin to experience simple things for the first time again. In the midst of chaos of upheaval, there is a renewed sense of appreciation for the small things that matter to us. This is a time to open up to receive good things in your life. It's a time to remember to be grateful in the midst of our challenges. In this episode, I offer a pe...
Shedding a Layer of Fear
June 11, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 7.05 MBIn this episode I talk about the fact we all have walls we have put up from a very young age in order to protect our sense of self. These walls are energetic barriers that have been built up out of fear. As part of this period of change and transformation we are being asked to courageously break down our walls. These are the walls that unknowingly divide us. By shedding a layer of fear, we move closer to love and unity. This is the process of healing we are all facing right now. In thi...
Become an Observer of Your Thoughts
June 09, 2020 13:00 - 10 minutes - 7.51 MBIn this episode I talk about how to manage your mind through the current upheaval we are collectively experiencing. The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius said, "You have the power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." By becoming the observer of your mind, you become the master of your domain. By observing the world from a neutral perspective, you can consciously decide how best to navigate change and serve others in a way that is authentically you. ...
Be Open to Anything, Attached to Nothing
June 04, 2020 13:00 - 11 minutes - 7.73 MBIn this episode I was inspired by Wayne Dyer to share the principal of being open to anything and attached to nothing. In a time of continued change, upheaval, and uncertainty, realize that anything is possible. While things on the surface may seem scary and foretell challenging times ahead, this is not necessarily true. By detaching from the chaos and becoming a neutral observer, it becomes easier to navigate this period of transformation. In this episode I offer a few suggestions on ho...
Heal What’s Broken
June 02, 2020 20:00 - 10 minutes - 6.93 MBIn this episode I wanted to address the injustice, violence, and chaos we are currently witnessing in the country. As the world transforms, the dark side of humanity is being exposed. At the same time, we have an incredible opportunity to heal. While the news feeds us fear and chaos, you need to search for optimism, hope, and inspiration. The good in humanity exists because there is good in you. If you are looking for what you can do to heal the planet, take this time to heal yourself. ...

How to Visualize A Better Outcome
May 28, 2020 14:00 - 10 minutes - 6.93 MBIn this episode I talk about the power of visualization. If you can visualize in your mind's eye your positive outcome, you can create it in your reality. How often do you take the time in your daily life to consciously envision what you desire to experience? Now is the time to proactively manage where your thoughts go. When the world gives you many distractions, stay focused on the beauty that exists all around you. Use your spiritual tools to connect with your higher self and create t...
You are a Multidimensional Being
May 26, 2020 14:00 - 12 minutes - 8.72 MBIn this episode I talk about what it means to be a multidimensional being and why its important to step into your expanded self right now. Being multidimensional means you are not just one thing. You are many things at the same time. This includes being both physical and spiritual. It is the spiritual part of you that reaches beyond the physical and can access higher levels of reality and wisdom that can help and guide you in your physical reality. By stepping into the totality of who y...
Life is Different and Different Can be Good
May 21, 2020 14:00 - 10 minutes - 7.27 MBAs summer kicks off with Memorial Day weekend, I discuss how we need to be aware of how our emotions will get triggered as the season changes. There is no doubt that this summer is not what we planned it to be. The fact is summer will be different this year because life currently is very different. As we move through the change in season its important to stay in the flow of nature. Nature reminds us as the seasons change we too must change. Summer is a season full of light and vitality,...
When Your Relationship with Time Has Changed
May 19, 2020 14:00 - 13 minutes - 8.95 MBIn this episode I talk about how so much of our happiness is connected to our future plans. When we know something good is going to happen in the future because we planned it, whether its an outing, trip, social gathering, etc., we automatically feel happy thinking about it in anticipation. We have gotten so used to planning future events to make us feel happy right now. At this time, its difficult to plan the future when the future seems so uncertain. If we can't plan for the future, ho...
Become a Spiritual Warrior of Light
May 14, 2020 14:00 - 11 minutes - 8.26 MBIn this episode I talk about energy, both positive and negative, and the real impact this energy is having on our lives currently. There is an unseen battle going on and its happening at an energetic level. While we can not see it with our eyes we can feel it within us. It is a battle between positive energy and negative energy, light and dark, love and fear. It is during this time we all must become warriors of light, and be aware of what energy we are receiving and what we are giving. ...
Opportunity in a Time of Rebirth
May 12, 2020 14:00 - 11 minutes - 7.71 MBIn this episode I talk about the cycles of life and death, birth and rebirth. We are currently in a new cycle of life, and we have entered a time of rebirth. Spring is a reminder that we are in a season of new beginnings. While it may seem dark and scary right now, underneath it all something beautiful wants to be born. Underneath the fear and the loss are seeds of light, love, and opportunity. See this time as a period of new opportunities and new beginnings. The birthing process is a...
Be Careful What You Let Into Your Head
May 07, 2020 13:00 - 10 minutes - 7.44 MBIn this episode I talk about the importance of what you are letting into your mind at this time. There is a powerful shift in energy within and outside of you that is fueling all the change we are experiencing. The strength of this energy will bring about change more quickly than what you have experienced in the past. You can benefit from this by consciously choosing where you spend your energy and what you let into your mind. Thoughts and ideas are like seeds, once they are planted they...
Managing the Transition to a New Earth
May 05, 2020 15:00 - 12 minutes - 8.31 MBIn this episode I talk about how we are in a period of transition from the Old Earth to a New Earth. The Earth is conscious and is moving to a higher consciousness and vibration. As this happens old ways of being on this planet begin to break down and fall away so new and better things can be build that are more aligned with the higher vibration. Right now, we are feeling the tension between the old world and new world. This tension feels hard and uncomfortable, but it is all part of the...
Facing Your Inner Demons
April 30, 2020 14:00 - 11 minutes - 7.92 MBIn this episode I talk about how during this time we are being faced with ourselves. With most of your distractions being taken away from you, you are given the time to reflect on who you are, what's important to you, and why you are here. I believe 2020 is all about clearing out the old junk within us that no longer serves us, so we can make room for what we truly desire, for something new and better for us. Facing yourself, and the demons that haunt you does not need to be a scary or di...
Calm Breeds Calm, Panic Breeds Panic
April 28, 2020 14:00 - 11 minutes - 8.01 MBIn this episode I talk about the importance of being in a calm state when there is chaos all around you. Everything that is happening right now is happening for a reason. Your life is not random. When you are in states of fear and panic, you can not clearly see the reason or the truth. From a place of calm you can more easily discern the truth, make clear decisions, and trust you will emerge from this in a better place. You are already seeing how nothing makes sense to you. This is the ...
Using the Power of Non-Resistance in Challenging Times
April 23, 2020 15:00 - 10 minutes - 7.51 MBIn this episode I talk about how to release your resistance to your current situation in order to more easily create positive outcomes for yourself during this period of change. Resisting what IS, is holding onto negative energy within you. Resistance is an energetic barrier to your positive desires, and what you resist will persist. Release the negative energy within you, so you can open yourself up to the powerful creative force that is also within you. When this creative force is dire...
