080- Navigating Feedback and Criticism
If you’re hurt and angered by unsolicited criticism, you come by it honestly through human biology. It activates our instincts. In the modern world, we navigate so many intrusive opinions about how we live our lives coming from people who aren’t stakeholders in how we do life. Having a well-thought-out personal policy about who is and isn’t invited to give advice, feedback, reflection, or criticism is useful in being able to navigate these situations effectively. Then we can fast track soothing our instincts and coming back to center, rather than ruminating on triggered, distorted reflections from unqualified sources. In our important relationships, it is vital to understand how we impact the other person directly, but we can still have boundaries about what opinions beyond their direct experience are invited.

079- How To Raise Your Vibration
When we raise our vibration (or make our energy brighter), we move through the world more easily. It improves our direct, in the moment experience as well as helping to manifest things that support us and deflect things that do not. There are many things we can do to raise our vibration. Ideally, you want to create a personal list of things that have a high return on investment of results for energy expended. These things ideally will also be highly accessible on an average Tuesday and be things that you enjoy doing. I give a number of possible activities and experiences that might support this. In addition, I have some potent energetic techniques to help you if you’d like to work with me.

078- Trusting Future You
When we’re stressed, our minds often ruminate on the past and worry about the future. When it comes to the future, we tend to imagine that we’ll have the same or less (money, support, health, etc.) to deal with hard things. Meditation and moving our bodies are great medicine for this. But, for me, I also cultivate the ability to facilitate my mind into shifting away from overthinking the future. Creating authentic faith in future me to deal with situations as they arise is something that I’ve found helpful. I share more about that in this episode.

075- Emotional Set Points
People often end up limiting their emotional experience to a handful of flavors. These could be unpleasant ones that they default into and/or favorite ones that they chase. This approach disconnects us from a lot of the opportunity of the human experience and tends to promote some health challenges along the way. In this podcast I share a bit about a client of mine who had a number of lifetimes experiencing a particular flavor of difficult emotions. The result was that all of the healing she sought out and her own excellent mindfulness practices tended not to move the dial nearly as much as they should have. I think of it like an old mattress where it takes effort not to roll into the low spot, costing freedom of movement and access to the rest of the bed. In this podcast, I hope to help you tune into your default emotions and expand the range of your life experience. Want to support my work and be supported by my team of guides?

073- Ramblings about Relating
Our best qualities can also, if left unsupervised and allowed to run amok, be the qualities that most damage our relationships. In this podcast I pull from some recent moments in my own life exploring Destined for Doom ways of relating that we may feel are actually likely to create success, no matter how much evidence we have experienced to the contrary. I explore unsolicited advice, contribution, and arguing with the other person’s truth if you’re not getting what you want in relationship. I hope this will help you to see relationship dynamics more clearly and have some language to express and understand what’s going on, whichever side of a dynamic you land upon.

I’d like to offer some insight on navigating weight loss with self-compassion. The less struggle we can bring to lifestyle changes, the more sustainable they become.

Lifestyle changes can be incredibly complicated to implement and sustain. Giving yourself grace with this complexity and implementing a plan to address this aspect will improve your results. I talk about lining up the energy around the change we want. And also, about overcoming the aversion chemistry that seeks to get us to avoid implement things that we know are good for us but our inner cave person thinks threaten our survival.

070- Connect to Your Inner Wise One
We have an aspect of our soul that is the bridge between the human experience and the soul journey. It’s connected both to the now and the eternal. We can learn to use our mind to direct our psychic abilities to take counsel with our inner wise one! For a variety of reasons, sometimes doing something like shamanic journey may not be the optimal way to send our awareness out to talk with our guides. If we’re highly emotional (which we all are at times), we may not have the clarity and focus. For people who have some fear around psychic abilities, they may find an internal journey feels safer and more comfortable. And finally, people who have certain mental health situations, such as what is diagnosed as schizophrenia, or entity issues, sending awareness outside of your auric field can be contraindicated as it can make things worse. Thus, learning to connect with your inner wise one is a great way to safely access your psychic abilities and access your deepest wisdom!

065- Heal Disappointment, Betrayal, and Relationship Trauma
Sometimes we get so wounded by other people’s messiness and unskillful relating or outright bad behavior that we don’t want to engage our hearts with other people going forward. We can unconsciously (or consciously) create heart armor to avoid future connection. We can even distort and disrupt our natural, healthy ability to run energetic connection with other humans. I invite you to treat healing heartache and loss as a learnable skill. Often new possibilities flow into empty spaces created by relationships that are complete. Before we ask how to I find friends or a romantic relationship, it’s good to ask what’s in the way of these things coming to in. Self-trust in our ability to heal and in our discernment often helps us be willing to be fully open to new connection. Relationship discernment can be complicated. In this podcast, I share some of the things I look for that make me believe I’d be successful with someone. And, I allow myself to be in the fan club of someone for whom I have huge affinity and appreciation but who isn’t aligned to be a friend or in a deeper relationship.

064- Navigating Accidental Misdirection of Magic
I had a journey some years ago wherein my guides talked to me about ways I was using my will and magic to stabilize things in my life that had run their course out of a fear of and resistance to change. They shared ways it was limiting the life I would live and asked me to make a choice about this aspect. In this podcast, I talk about ways to catch when we’re doing this and how our instincts can cause our mind to rationalize remaining committed to an unstainable course of action. I give some advice about making choices and getting present with when to choose again. I share a lot about my own self-inflicted pain when I haven’t done a good job with this.

063- Being Vilified and Vilifying Others
I received an email from a former client I haven’t interacted with in years that went into detail about how terrible I was for holding a boundary about being paid in the standard way before working with her. It included expressions of pity that I was such a terrible, money motivated person that I would do such a hurtful, obviously awful thing to her. It was, among other things, a trip down memory lane of a lot of failures in my early attempts at relating to friends and lovers. When I got hurt, rather than introspection, compassion (for them or me), or working through the emotions before trying to address the misalignment, I would spin a story of how wrong and bad the other person was and why I was entitled to whatever I had desired from them. Then, I’d write a really long email explaining this. Happily, with the help of therapy, among other things, I have more functional ways of relating. Yet, I can still find that subroutine of ruminating on another person’s way of being in the world as invalid when I feel hurt. This messy, vital, complex business of relating to other humans has such levels of risk and reward. In this long episode, I share about my personal journey with mental loops of vilifying other people and how I navigate it when someone vilifies me and wants to tell me about it. I hope it helps you have a functional map for navigating this highly charged, complicated energy, whether it's showing up internally or focused outwards.

I find myself in a season where my deepest longings are for time freedom and less external stimulation. I’m taking a break from many of the things I normally engaging in, like travel and dating.

061- Alleviate Chronic Pain with a Shamanic Approach
One of the best uses of our psychic abilities isn’t so much about seeing the world around us, but navigating the world within. We can use our gifts to track what’s going on with ourselves on the subtle levels. I often find for myself and my clients that unfavorable results are the result of an adversarial relationship between different parts of the self. We can learn to be a wise mediator such that we come into a collaboration between our various aspects. In the modern era, we need all of our chakras at full functionality and playing for the same team. I’ve long applied this work to keeping my fight or flight system baseline in a calm place. More recently, I’ve started using this approach to have a talk with my brain about re-wiring chronic pain circuits that are related to a long-ago injury from which the tissue damage has healed.

Having our lives bring experiences of pleasure and delight is utterly necessary to feeling like life is a gift instead of something heavy to be gotten through. Yet, often we are distracted and derailed from things that would bring authentic pleasure at a human level, to our unique soul, or to both. I talk vulnerably about ways I activate biological pleasure with thinking and with the things I consume and my journey to wrangle that gently into more moderation to free up space for the kinds of pleasure that leave me fulfilled.

But I am heartened when I look at the speed at which certain important things are changing for the better. Take apart times can be complex and that’s certainly what we’re living in now. Yet, there are also so many old souls who incarnated with a desire to get in the game of moving the world through its growing pains to a more elegant place.

I’m often asked how I came to make such a career pivot. Often due to time constraints of the conversation, I share the short version. But here’s the longer version. I share about becoming an entrepreneur, writing my first book, and falling in love with soul retrieval work. I hope you enjoy it!

056- Moderate Mindfulness

056- Moderate Mindfulness
Some of our best mindfulness teachers live mindfulness throughout their waking hours. It gives them a massive level of mastery and much wisdom to share. However, I found that when I studied what they offered, my head got loud about how I wasn’t being mindful enough of the day. In this podcast, I explore the possibility that you could find a level that was enough mindfulness if you have a fundamental level of emotional and mental health combined with a system for getting present with yourself at regular intervals. I also talk about some of the warning signs that we have dipped below the level of “enough” mindfulness when our minds go down pathways that become problematic and create a stress feedback loop.

055- Pregnancy, Childbirth, Soul Contracts, and Choice
In this podcast I share some of the stories about women I’ve witnessed and supported in calling in their baby in a way that aligns for them, both on a human level as well as a soul level. I also talk about working on the soul level with women who’ve chosen not to have a baby at a given moment. Spoiler: free choice is sacred and choosing not to complete a pregnancy doesn’t cause harm to the soul that was considering coming in. And, for those who want to have babies, I share how shamanic work can help. Clearing past life trauma proactively will make for an easier pregnancy, for example.

054- The Power of Initiating Connection
Initiation of connection is something that is both a tendency and a skill. Sadly, people sometimes keep score of initiation directed towards them. They make the receiving of phone calls, text messages, or invitations mean something about whether they are loved, valued, and respected. I would offer that it’s useful to recognize whether you are someone who is more likely to initiate or respond to someone else’s invitation to engage. Furthermore, once you see where you stand, it can be valuable to override your default to create a wider range of experiences. If you initiate and plan a lot, it could be fun to see what it’s like to just enjoy someone else’s vision. Or, if you don’t initiate, you might find doing so allows you to enjoy relating with someone who is also not apt to invite but who responds happily when invited. Likewise, when it comes to getting messages from spirit, when you initiate by engaging, the richness of what you receive increases exponentially.

053- Clear Learned Helplessness and Restore Your Power
My guides gave me a very cool and powerful sequence of energetic interventions to support the participants in my eight-month chakra program (). Step one was to clear learned helplessness, followed by a power retrieval, and lastly bringing this energy to the expression of their throat chakra so they could feel able to speak up and with their personal power behind their words. In this podcast I talk about how you can do this for yourself or get my help with it.

052- Clearing Past Life Pain with Shamanism

051- Dismantle Credit Card Debt with Shamanism

051- Dismantle Credit Card Debt with Shamanism
Let’s apply traditional means- shamanism- to a modern problem- that of credit card debt! Or to whatever kind of debt is causing you grief. If you’re like me, owing money on credit cards and seeing that amount remain stubbornly present or continue to rise evokes a lot of stress, frustration, and helplessness. Or it may be student loans or a personal loan you just can’t seem to clear. It certainly was a major pain point for me for a number of years. Then, in 2018, it occurred to me that I wasn’t leveraging my tools. I was treating credit card debt as a financial problem alone instead of something that had an energetic structure as well. By dismantling the organized energy (and cleaning up energy created and sustained with persistent uncomfortable emotions related to the debt), it makes it harder for the debt to persist in the physical realm. It’s not a substitute for right action. But just as treating the energetic aspect of illness often causes the body to respond better to physical treatment, and this seems to work with debt- be it student loans or credit cards or something else. It certainly has had great results in my own life. Prior to engaging shamanic work with this problem, I believe I was working uphill in my actions in the physical world, by trying to shift something that has a chronic and consistent structure on the energetic level. Now my credit cards have zero balances more often than not and I don’t have any other financial debt. Ready to give Fire Ceremony at try for clearing debt?
