Subconscious Programming + Facing Our Triggers with Jena Sophia

In this episode, I share a personal experience from January 2020 as an example regarding the toxic apology culture I've observed in society today. I answer a lot of questions like when I think apologies are beneficial, when we need to skip apologies, how I plan to teach my daughter about apologies, and loads more on the manipulative direction apologies seem to be moving towards... I hope you enjoy this episode and see it as an opportunity to put the power back in your hands. Take responsibility for the reality we are all living in. And heal ourselves to heal the world.

How to not become the perpetrator | Breaking The Victim Mentality

I got an email recently from a reader who is thinking about starting a blog and asked me a few questions. Two of them were far too deep to put in an email for just her so I decided to bring them here. The questions were: How did you overcome that fear [of starting a blog/business]?! How did you become successful and what all did you have to do? Her questions reminded me of another question I get A LOT which is: how did you get over your fear of having a baby? In response to a couple of posts I wrote a couple of years ago on why I was afraid to be pregnant and have a baby and why I was afraid to have kids.  So today I'm tackling how I've overcome fear in all area of my life, specifics for blogging and kids, and my take and tips for success!

026: Spirit Guides: What Are They, How To Work With Them, & Why You Need To with Natalie Miles

Natalie Miles is a gifted psychic, medium, Spiritual Guide, and mentor whose mission is to support ones spiritual journey by sharing, The Spirit Upgrade. She really works to help connect people to their guides to heal the past and empower your future. Natalie first connected with her own Spirit Guide at five years old! In her teens she developed her skills - and then she fell into the matrix like so many and worked in film for 10 years before realizing she couldn't ignore the calling of her spiritual gifts and began working full-time with Spirit as a psychic and a medium. Natalie is amazing, and goes so far beyond being just a psychic and a medium - after my session with her I felt like I had just left both intensive therapy and a life coaching session? I felt inspired, clear, and also a bit in awe at some of the revelations. In this episode she breaks down how you can connect with your guides, why this work matters, tapping into mediumship, and so much more! IN THIS CONVERSATION WE COVER:  What is mediumship? How can people tell if they are being tapped to become a medium Creating space and boundaries between yourself and spirits trying to get messages to you Growing up in an intuitive family The different ways to receive information from spirits Working through shame and fear around using spiritual gifts Turning off our intuition and gifts as we get lost in the daily grind Why past life work is so important  RESOURCES  Check out Natalie's website, Instagram, and YouTube.

017: The struggle of adulting and how we survive it

In today’s episode, Rachel and Eric fill us in on one of her most popular blog posts:  their love story! They detail all the ins and outs of meeting online and how Rachel stalked Eric in the beginning. Rachel reveals just how much she used to love playing the dating games, and ultimately, when she stopped. We get a real, up-close-and-personal look at their love story, and everything leading up to it!   In This Conversation We Cover:  How Rachel and Eric met (hint: on a dating website!) Rachel’s attempts to locate him on social media, only realize they had tons of mutual friends already. That on their first date, Rachel and Eric bonded over being into psychics and Rachel’s history with black magic. How on the very day they met, Eric’s psychic predicted he’d meet the love of his life! Rachel’s plans to use Facebook to stalk Eric’s geotagged location after work downtown + all about her OG views on the game of dating. Rachel telling Eric to “man up” and ask her out already + all the canceled dates that followed. Eric walking in on Rachel and his roommate cuddling (though she thankfully ended the evening with Eric, instead). Eric witnessing Rachel’s darkest secrets at their 12-step meeting, and reassuring her that nothing she said pushed him away. That Eric’s roommate told him Rachel would be a “stage-five-clinger,” and how he ignored this warning and, alternatively, allowed the two of them to fall in love organically and equally. Waiting until you are in love until you “bring your crazy.” Eric’s thoughts on how amazing it was to date someone (Rachel) who could truly communicate her emotions in a healthy way. When did Eric first say “I love you?” How Rachel brought out Eric’s light qualities, whereas past partners illuminated his shadow qualities.
