Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

Self-attack is something many of us have often done to ourselves.

We live in a world that programs and conditions us to attack ourselves in many different ways; to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism... diminishing who we are and our inherent value.

Living in this kind of state is draining, exhausting, and it keeps you separate from your Higher, Divine Self.

Join me for a discussion of:

• common ways in which self-attack can manifest in everyday life 
• how self-attack can show up in your spiritual practices and spiritual path
• the damaging and Soul-draining effects of self-attack
• how can you begin letting go of self-attack and shift into self-empathy?
• what is self-empathy and how can you apply it in daily life?
• how self-empathy requires you to show up for yourself in deeper, more authentic ways
• the healing effects of self-empathy on your self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love

This episode of INNER WORK will support you in upleveling and refining your Akashic Record readings, as a practitioner.

Join me for a discussion of:

• key differences between "information dump" readings and genuinely transformative, co-creative Akashic Record readings
• why "information dump" readings can overwhelm or paralyze clients (in addition to making our work as healers/readers unnecessarily draining!)
• raising the standards for how we do spiritual work and show up for our clients
• how to support your clients (and yourself) in creating lasting breakthroughs, insights, and healing through the Akashic Records
• the importance of evolving your readings from a purely cognitive level of insight into other levels of healing and transformation
• the multiple layers of listening we must harness to be highly effective Akashic Record practitioners

Although there's some overlap between spirituality and psychology, Akashic Records work is distinct from traditional therapy in a few different ways.

This episode of INNER WORK is an exploration of how we can understand some of the differences between spiritual healing work and talk therapy.

Join me for a discussion of:

• how the main goals of spiritual healing work and talk therapy are often different
• what ARE the main goals of Akashic Records work, in particular?
• what's required to embark on meaningful and transformative Akashic Records work (including emotional stability, capacity for self-regulation, and a firm grounding in reality)
• the value of adding a transpersonal or spiritual component to therapeutic approaches 
• expanding our healing work beyond the cognitive level of insight
• putting spiritual awakening and a "dark night of the Soul" into proper context, both for ourselves and for our clients
• ensuring we do our work responsibly, effectively, and safely as Akashic Records readers and healing practitioners - always keeping in mind our scope of service and referring clients out when we need to

In April 2025, I’m bringing together a select group of conscious healers, coaches, and lightworkers… and teaching them how to:

• Tap into the Akashic Field of unconditional wisdom and healing on command
• Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself” that doesn't create lasting change)
• Use the Akashic Records as a tool of QUANTUM HEALING to clear away your own “stuff” (fear, resistance, self-doubt, second-guessing, overthinking, overgiving) so you can confidently show up for your clients – and powerfully help them clear *their* stuff as well
• Turn on your deepest inner guidance and experience deeper states of flow, connection, and purpose – consistently
• Become a grounded, confident, effective Akashic Records Practitioner and help your clients get life-changing results, so they keep coming back and referring you to everyone they know

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident.

It’s because you have Soul-level work to do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. 

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them to (1) heal yourself and (2) assist others in their process of healing and evolution.

The Records have been my steadfast companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Akashic Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual seekers.

This is why I created a one-of-a-kind, immersive Certification Program where we go deeply into the Akasha together. 

I’ll teach you everything you must know to effectively connect to the Records and use them as a tool of insight and healing not just for yourself, but for the people you’re here to serve.

The length and depth of this Certification – plus my commitment to offering you an unparalleled level of personal mentorship – enable each student to have a transformative experience and go on a journey of discovery about how you’re meant to use the Akashic Records in this lifetime, to heal yourself and others.

In our live meetings, there will be time to ask questions, do healing work together, and share your experiences in the Records.

You’ll also have ample time between meetings to practice the techniques and tools I’ll be teaching you – and to connect with fellow students to exchange readings.

I offer personalized feedback on all assignments, so you feel supported every step of the way.

Before the beginning of your current lifetime, your Soul made some conscious decisions about what you would experience in this life, what would occur, which lessons and challenges you'd face, and who would be involved in those lessons.

All of these decisions and orchestrations are part of your Soul's curriculum - your conscious plan of evolution and expansion for this lifetime.

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about:

• how can we define the concept of Soul's curriculum?
• what are the different levels of your Soul's curriculum?
• how can you gain a better understanding of your own Soul's curriculum... so you can fulfill it?
• the fears that get in the way of shining your light brightly and living out your Soul's curriculum
• the collective curriculum we share as lightworkers to raise consciousness on this planet and assist other humans in their evolution
• (PLUS bonus numerology discussion and how the number 222 is related to your Soul's curriculum at the beginning of this episode!)

I don’t have to tell you that the world we're living in is pretty crazy and chaotic. There's a lot of confusion, division, projection, anger, and fear out there.

So, what do we do with that collective consciousness of fear, separation, and illusion that's so prevalent in the world today? What do we do with that, as lightworkers, as healers, as people who have a strong mission to be of service or to DO something to raise the level of consciousness on this planet?

I know for many of us there's a deep sense of purpose and taking action, in one way or another, to change things, to dismantle the old paradigms, to contribute to the evolution, liberation, and enlightenment of humanity.

This isn't an easy or quick task. As lightworkers, we hold sacred responsibilities to awaken the light in ourselves and others (and SEE the light in ourselves and others) during crazy times of upheaval and social or political unrest -- when we see so many egoic agendas running the show on many levels of society, government, corporations, and so on.

This episode is primarily about: HOW do we continue holding the light, not losing faith, and putting forth a strong momentum and energy to uplift ourselves, on a daily basis, and also to uplift others?

In this discussion, you'll find some ideas for how we can do this.

Projection is a defense mechanism where someone displaces their own unresolved feelings or thoughts onto another person or group. It's a way for people to cope with emotional discomfort and conflict without acknowledging their own emotions.

We've all projected our stuff unconsciously onto others at times... and we've also been the recipients of others' projections.

In the world we're living in today, there's SO much projection going on. As lightworkers and spiritually awake people, we need a strategy to (1) protect ourselves from others’ projections and (2) be conscious and mindful enough so WE don’t project our stuff onto others, either.

Join me for this episode where I discuss:

• why projection is such a common human reaction (and coping mechanism)
• what it really means to project -- and to be projected onto
• how to shift your mindset and internal attitude so that others' projections don't affect you as much
• how to set inner and outer boundaries so you can protect your space, energy, and sanity... without allowing others to project onto you
• developing a more confident, fierce, self-respecting, and assertive persona so you can stand your ground when needed
• how to become a MASTER DEFLECTOR - someone who can see through others' projections and not automatically react or take them personally

The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

• self-doubt
• attachment to outcomes
• attachment to timelines
• avoidance / spiritual bypassing
• fear of disappointment
• perfectionism
• fear of letting go of control
• ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

In this bonus episode of INNER WORK, I offer you a guided meditation to cultivate your inner presence and inner divinity.

This meditation will help you:

• neutrally observe and dis-identify from your body, mind, and emotions
• get into "right relationship" with your physical body, mind, and emotions - knowing your true self is larger, wiser, and much more permanent than any of these
• develop a deeper, embodied sense of your inner divinity and inner I AM Presence (which supports you in feeling more divinely connected)

As a tool for accessing Divine Guidance, quantum healing, and rapid transformation, the Akashic Records can help you become fully aligned with your true purpose - and live that purpose every day.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I tell my personal story of leaving a successful career in academia to do spiritual work full-time... and the KEY role that the Akashic Records played in making that transition. (I couldn't have done it without them!)

Join me for a discussion of:

• how I started recognizing that my successful, years-long career in academia wasn't fully aligned with me
• the messages I received from my Higher Self (and from the Akashic Records) along the way
• how the Akashic Records helped me release an old identity and step into a more authentic, aligned, and fulfilled version of myself
• how the Akashic Records helped me build a sustainable, 6-figure spiritual business
• the importance of trusting and following the Divine Guidance and "sacred nudges" we receive on our life path

This episode is about how to shift your perspective, mindset, and energy when something unwanted or challenging shows up in your life.

As humans, we're naturally wired and inclined to see the NEGATIVE when something challenging, unexpected, or irritating shows up in our life experience. 

We might also immediately want this unexpected or challenging thing (or person, situation, etc) to GO AWAY - which is a completely normal human reaction. But that resistance, of course, typically makes things worse.

Join me for a discussion of:

• the primitive brain's negativity bias, and how we're wired to see the negative (or to look for problems)
• the importance of remembering the level and degree of choice we have EVEN WHEN something challenging happens
• pausing consciously so you can explore what's actually showing up in your life (and why)
• a sequence of reflection questions to shift out of resistance and into expansion
• shifting from a place of victimhood ("WHY is this happening to me???") to a place of empowered curiosity ("what choices can I make here, and what's RIGHT about this situation?")

As Divine beings incarnated in physical bodies, there's this constant duality that we hold.

You are both an eternal, endless Soul AND a human being, in a human body, having a specific human incarnation in this particular moment in time and space.

This episode of INNER WORK is about reconciling these dual aspects of yourself - the human along with the Divine (or the physical along with the spiritual).

We'll talk about why we have a tendency to forget our inner Divinity as we navigate the 3D world, and how to begin reclaiming ALL aspects of yourself -- especially your Higher Self -- and developing an unwavering connection to Divine Source.

In a couple of days, I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose...

... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way.

Imagine being able to...

• Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world

• Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”)

• Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others)

• Come home to your inner knowing

• TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you.

The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others. 

In this training, I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing.

We're living through a time of collective awakening.

Those of us on the spiritual path are being challenged to rise above and stay OUT of the confusion, fear, division, reactivity, and projection we often see and experience out in the world. 

Many people today find themselves in a state of confusion, fear, and overwhelm - which can lead them to act in dysregulated ways and project their unconscious stuff and unconscious needs onto others (maybe, at times, onto you!).

This episode of INNER WORK is about achieving a state of Divine Neutrality so you can remain centered, calm, and grounded even amidst external chaos or when someone unconsciously projects their "stuff" onto you. (This is also about becoming increasingly better at not projecting OUR stuff onto others, either.)

The Akashic Records are the most potent tool I know for achieving this state of Divine Neutrality, consistently.

Let's talk about this!

I hope something in this episode speaks to you, and inspires you to continue releasing fear and moving forward with an energy of love, detachment, and peace.

These last few weeks/months have carried some intense collective energies.

You may have found yourself feeling these energies in different ways... maybe getting stuck in old patterns, mental loops, self-doubt, self-judgment, judgment of others, perhaps even a sense of overwhelm or despair.

All of this may have been interspersed with moments of great ease, joy, purpose, and just feeling genuinely connected to the Universe.

So what gives with these ups and downs??

This BONUS episode of Inner Work addresses these collective energies, and how we are navigating through a process of rapid mass awakening... AND, at the same time, mass resistance. 

This is what creates that push-and-pull, inner friction, and collective battle it feels we're sometimes waging.

I hope something in this episode speaks to you, and inspires you to continue forging ahead on your path -- in alignment with the mission of your Higher Self.

In this special podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives.

We discuss topics such as:

• what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
• the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
• how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others
• how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
• the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker

My guest for this interview is Paula M. Routon, a graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2024.

Paula is an intuitive healer specializing in women's wellness. Having personally navigated anxiety, digestive challenges, and menopause, she discovered profound healing through Ayurveda, wellness counseling, energy work, and Akashic Records. Through a deep spiritual connection, Paula empowers women to achieve wholeness by addressing physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. Her holistic approach releases trapped emotions and past traumas, creating a foundation of self-love, peace, and acceptance.

In this interview, you’ll hear Paula share in her own words what brought her to the Akashic Records, how the Records have supported her in her personal healing and evolution, what she got out of my Certification Program, and how she is using the Records now in her healing practice.

Next month (October/Nov 2024), I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose...

... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way.

Imagine being able to...

• Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world

• Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”)

• Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others)

• Come home to your inner knowing

• TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you.

The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others. 

In this training, I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing.

Thank you for tuning in!

The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

• self-doubt
• attachment to outcomes
• attachment to timelines
• avoidance / spiritual bypassing
• fear of disappointment
• perfectionism
• fear of letting go of control
• ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been an influential spiritual teacher and leader of spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers, including A Return to Love (personal note: this book - and Marianne - led me to A Course in Miracles over a decade ago, which transformed my life).

Marianne is also the founder of Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered over 18 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989.

In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Marianne ran for the democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States in both 2020 and 2024.

In this interview, we talk about A Course in Miracles as well as Marianne's new book, The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love.

Some of our conversation highlights include:

• how it serves us to understand Jesus not only as a historical figure, but as an inclusive, non-denominational inner teacher and a consciousness of pure love (which we can learn to cultivate in ourselves)
• how we've gotten so caught up in ego attachments, agendas, and conflict... and how to begin untangling from that
• what to do when we feel triggered, hurt, or offended by someone... without reactively going on the attack
• how to stop taking things personally and see the bigger picture (with some helpful anecdotes and illustrations from Marianne's own life)
• Marianne's inspiration for writing this book NOW, at this particular moment in history

Over the years, I've worked with many healers, coaches, practitioners, and service-based providers in the healing, therapeutic, and spiritual industries who were struggling with similar problems -- especially compassion fatigue and burnout.

This episode is an exploration of how to avoid burning out while still offering the highest-quality, most compassionate, most powerful healing work to your clients and the people you're here to serve. (While being nourished by the work in return!)

Join me for a discussion of:

• why healers and holistic practitioners are prone to burnout and compassion fatigue
• one of the major causes of burnout (and how to avoid it)
• how you can support yourself in remaining grounded, stable, and emotionally regulated while working with clients
• 5 common misconceptions about our ROLE as healers that can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and resentment -- I'll walk you through a powerful reframe for each one
• the importance of being extremely clear about the SCOPE of your role as a practitioner

Spiritual awakening - and the choice to STAY on the spiritual path - is a transgressive act.

In this episode of Inner Work, we'll explore what it really means to consciously decide to walk the spiritual path and make an unwavering commitment to your own evolution and awakening.

Join me for a discussion of:

• how spiritual awakening can happen (spontaneously through life events or intentionally through spiritual practice)
• the temptation to go back to sleep or back to unconsciousness once we've already awakened
• the daily choice we must make to either remain on the spiritual path, or veer off
• The Truman Show as an artistic/cultural template for the arduous journey of awakening and seeing through the veil of 3D reality
• why and how your spiritual awakening is a transgressive act
• how some of us are here to be spiritual disruptors of the status quo

In this new podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives.

We discuss topics such as:

• what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
• the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
• how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others
• how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
• the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker

My guest for this interview is Meaghan Szilagyi, a graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2024.

Meaghan is a Multidimensional Empowerment Coach who supports her clients in reclaiming their power and embodying their highest potential. She blends mindful, strategic, transformational, and visionary coaching styles with her training as an Akashic Records reader to provide a deeply personal coaching experience designed to spark lasting transformation and expansion.

Meaghan's multidimensional approach is rooted in her education and experiences with the Humanities, Massage Therapy, Yoga, Tantra, Psychosynthesis, and more. You can find her online at https://akashaonearth.com and https://instagram.com/meaghan.on.earth

Have you ever been so challenged by life, to a point where it became difficult to remain spiritual?

As humans, we've all faced life circumstances or situations that made us want to "forget" all of our spiritual principles, tools, and Higher Truths.

In this episode of Inner Work, I share about a recent challenging experience in my life, all of the feelings and beliefs it brought to the surface, and the lessons I've been able to extract from it (so far).

Join me for a discussion of:

• why we are tempted to abandon our spirituality when life challenges us
• how to support yourself in feeling and expressing strong emotions such as anger, resentment, fear, or grief in the face of tough life situations
• owning your humanity and making space for your human reactions to life (without blaming, judging, or lashing out against others)
• arriving at a deeper awareness that nothing and no one can touch your abundance, creativity, resourcefulness, and inner power
• re-connecting to abundance, peace, and a sense of personal agency even amidst difficult circumstances

When you tap into the superconscious realms, you gain access to higher thought forms, higher vibrations, flashes of intuition, wisdom, healing, and Divine inspiration.

In this two-part series of Inner Work, we'll explore what the superconscious really is and how we can benefit by growing our capacity to tap into this higher field of consciousness.

Tune in as we complete our discussion of:

• what is the superconscious?
• what are the different ways of accessing the superconscious realms?
• what keeps us from being able to tap into the superconscious?
• how does it benefit us to tap into the superconscious?
• how is the superconscious realm similar to the Akashic field?
• 13 characteristics of genuinely connecting to the superconscious field (based on the writings of psychospiritual teacher Roberto Assagioli)
• potential pitfalls and challenges of accessing deeper levels of superconsciousness (and how to navigate them safely and responsibly)

Throughout this episode, I refer to the book Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis (collected writings of Roberto Assagioli).

The world is kind of nutty right now.

We're often seeing chaos, conflict, and confusion out in the world and sometimes even in our own homes, workplaces, and schools.

Therefore, diligence, practice, persistence, and dedication are required to maintain your frequency, vibration, and thought patterns at a high level of Truth and clear knowing... a deep EMBODIED knowing that abundance is indeed all around you and within you at all times. Nothing can separate you from that abundance or take it away from you. You're far more powerful than you sometimes remember or give yourself credit for.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I walk you through 8 daily spiritual reminders that will help you stay aligned with Higher Truth and maintain a high-level frequency in your body, mind, and energy field. Regardless of what's going on around you.

The 8 daily reminders will support you in:

• honoring and living up to your commitment to walk the spiritual path
• living in integrity with your Soul and with the Universe
• flowing with universal forces and with whatever is arising in your life (instead of trying to resist it)
• remaining anchored in the truth that you are a Divine being having a human experience.

My intention is for these 8 daily reminders to serve as spiritual scaffolding for you, every day, as often as you need them.

They will help you remember the Truth of who and what you are, and what you're capable of in this lifetime.

This episode of INNER WORK features an interview with Michael Bernard Beckwith, a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 group, founder of the Agape Spiritual Center, and #1 bestselling author. Michael is a maverick in the realm of spirituality and a non-denominational spiritual visionary who has addressed the United Nations and appeared on shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King.

Join us for a poignant discussion on:

• what does it mean to be spiritual, but not religious? 
• how we've all been conditioned and programmed to give our power away and believe we are unworthy - and how to take our power and our minds back from this programming
• how we can help ourselves (and the world) shift from a paradigm of fear, scarcity, conflict, and not-good-enoughness to a new emerging paradigm of love, clarity, abundance, and freedom
• how you can discover YOUR unique role in the awakening of humanity
• how to protect yourself from negative programming through the media (a.k.a. the "reporters of the old world") and maintain a high-level frequency regardless of what's going on around you

Emotional reactivity is about having a knee-jerk, habitual reaction to something in the present moment that reminds you (consciously or unconsciously) of something unpleasant you experienced in the past.

Reducing emotional reactivity is an important goal on the spiritual path, since being highly reactive can keep you stuck in repetitive and unhelpful loops of behavior, thought, action, and feeling.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what IS emotional reactivity, at its essential nature?
• the 3 levels of emotional reactivity (and which one gets triggered first)
• how emotional reactivity drains your energy and causes you to waste valuable time
• the difference between reacting and responding 
• how to reduce your reactivity gradually and bring yourself back to the present moment (with real-time practices)

In this special episode of Inner Work, I speak with two guests about the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code as powerful modalities for healing.

Kathryn Wyatt is a photographer, artist, gardener, herbalist in training, and Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief Code practitioner. She's also an advanced graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program and a certified Akashic Records Practitioner.

Lisa Orvis Gusakov is a massage therapist and 10-generation Vermonter who lives and works on the land of her ancestors; walking the same dirt roads that her father, grandfather, great grandparents and beyond walked daily. Lisa is incredibly passionate about her massage therapy work and is nurtured by it every day. 

In this in-depth interview, Kathryn and Lisa share about their hands-on experience with the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code – with Kathryn as the practitioner, and Lisa as her client.

We delve into what these modalities actually are, how they work, and how they can help you heal and assist you in your process of awakening and shedding whatever is not supporting your evolution. We also address the concept of "Heart Walls" – which most of us have – and the incredible benefits of Heart Wall clearing.

The Akashic Records are a potent and versatile tool for healing, expansion, inner and outer transformation, and for creating and manifesting the life and reality you want to experience.

In this mini series, we'll explore the Records as a field of higher consciousness beyond the human/egoic dimension, and how tapping into the Akasha enables you to connect directly to Divine Source and to your inner divinity and inner knowing.

Every time you journey into the Records, you come back home to yourself – to your essential, loving, wise, powerful, authentic state… which is who you really are.

Join me in part two for a discussion of:

The Akashic Records are a potent and versatile tool for healing, expansion, inner and outer transformation, and for creating and manifesting the life and reality you want to experience.

In this mini series, we'll explore the Records as a field of higher consciousness beyond the human/egoic dimension, and how tapping into the Akasha enables you to connect directly to Divine Source and to your inner divinity and inner knowing.

Every time you journey into the Records, you come back home to yourself – to your essential, loving, wise, powerful, authentic state… which is who you really are.

Join me in part one for a discussion of:

• how the Akashic Records can help you do REPAIR WORK (and what repair work is)
• how you can shed "human density" (including egoic attachments, dysfunctional patterns, coping mechanisms, defense mechanisms, limiting beliefs, old conditioning that doesn’t serve you, etc) by actively spending time in the Akashic field
• how the Records can help you transmute and release any energetic debris you've picked up by living in a human body
• the Akashic Records as a tool for psychospiritual growth and expansion
• how the Records can support you in raising your frequency and upgrading all of your systems – including your energy system, nervous system, physical body, emotional system and capacity for emotional regulation
• fully activating your intuitive and multidimensional abilities through the Records

How comfortable are you with uncertainty, like when you don’t know how something is going to turn out?

When you have to wait to find out the outcome of something in your life? Or when you set out on an unknown path, without being able to see where it’s going to lead you?

Many of us have a limited tolerance for uncertainty. We might experience uncertainty as a threat, as something we need to fix or avoid at all costs.

For me, uncertainty and being in a state of not knowing have often felt deeply uncomfortable (along with some other anxiety patterns I’ve experienced in this lifetime).

We’re all on a continuum of how much uncertainty we can tolerate before we start experiencing inner tension, discomfort, and stress. (Along with a strong need to resolve the uncertainty.)

If you’re like me, you might have an inner part of you who we might call the “reassurance seeker.”

This is the part of us that doesn’t know how to sit with uncertainty, that wants to know everything in advance, that might over-prepare for things and/or seek reassurance or validation from others.

This episode of INNER WORK was created for this part of you -- the reassurance seeker. We'll help this part of you feel seen, validated, soothed, and NOT ALONE.

You'll walk away with:

• an understanding of what fuels reassurance-seeking patterns and behaviors (and what those behaviors often look like)
• clarity on whether you're currently in a "reassurance-seeking trap"
• a powerful shift in perspective that will help you get more comfortable with uncertainty
• ideas for how you can USE uncertainty as a spiritual teacher in your life

The book mentioned in this episode is Needing to Know for Sure by Martin Seif and Sally Winston.

Are you fully owning, claiming, and sharing your gifts with the world... and stepping fully into your DIVINE GREATNESS?

This episode of Inner Work is about the life-changing magic of no longer hiding your gifts, and the incredible things that can happen (that you can create!) once you fully align with your Soul's highest purpose and follow the calling of your Higher Self.

Without playing small.

Without minimizing, discounting, or undervaluing yourself.

Without feeling like you need to prove yourself to others.

Without shrinking to make others around you feel more "comfortable".

Join me for a discussion of:

• what might hold you back from fully claiming and sharing your gifts
• what can happen once you truly open yourself to embody your Divine greatness and brilliance
• how the Universe steps in to support you when you begin taking BOLD action towards your purpose
• personal story: the moment I realized it was time to leave my academic career, and how I dealt with the fear and uncertainty that came up
• how to call for assistance from your Guides and Spirit Team as you become more aligned with your gifts and purpose

Thank you for tuning in and spending this time with me!

This episode of INNER WORK is about the spiritual, life-changing practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- in any situation.

This is a practice I teach in many of my programs, because it's so powerful at cutting through the inner and outer noise that we sometimes get bogged down in.

Previously on this podcast, I've talked about the LIES and illusions we often buy into as humans. The lies and illusions of the 3D human dimension, which are also sometimes the illusions we inherit through our human family lineage and also through the collective consciousness of this particular planet, and of the society and culture we each grow up in.

The practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- which requires active work on our part -- is about seeing those illusions for what they are, shattering them, and re-aligning ourselves with Divine Knowing.

In this episode, I explain how to work with this practice and walk you through a series of potent examples of Higher Truth (while helping you connect fully to that Truth, if it resonates with you).

This episode of INNER WORK is about the many different ways in which we’ve all been indoctrinated into the “not good enough” paradigm…

... and how this can prevent you from living your life authentically, truly being yourself, and shining as brightly as you’re meant to shine and expand.

I also talk about how the "not good enough" paradigm can prevent you from fully expressing and living your Soul’s purpose and stepping into your sacred service and work in this lifetime.

We'll explore some ways to begin dismantling this paradigm and false belief system in your own life, so you can be FREE to heal and expand to your highest level.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore the distinct advantages of using the Akashic Records as a healing modality in your coaching, spiritual, or healing business.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what makes the Akashic Records different from other spiritual tools and modalities 
• how we can use the Akashic Records for quantum healing, insights, and transformation
• how the Records can help you clear your own "stuff" (fear, resistance, self-doubt, other unhelpful patterns) so you can powerfully show up to serve your clients
• how the Records can help you expand your healing business in aligned, ethical, effective ways

I also answer a question posed by my certification student Leah, about how karma works within the context of the Akashic Records. Stay tuned for my answer towards the end of the episode!

For 3 days in April, I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose...

... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way.

Imagine being able to...

• Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world

• Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”)

• Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others)

• Come home to your inner knowing

• TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you.

The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others. This is why I’d love to spend 3 days with you in this Akashic Records intensive as we dive deep into the Akasha together.

I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing.

How do we reconcile an injustice that we observe in the outside world with our deep spiritual knowledge that ultimately there is a divine order at play... and that the reality we're experiencing now is a temporary figment (or illusion) that we're all creating together?

Are we meant to take immediate action when we observe a pain or injustice in the world? Are we meant to work on ourselves internally first, and/or WHILE we are taking action to correct these injustices?

These are some of the complex questions I'm addressing in this episode of Inner Work, after receiving a thoughtful email from a listener.

Join me for a discussion of:

• why inner work is so critical for healers, changemakers, and activists 
• how to align yourself with your deepest purpose and understand the role you're meant to play in this lifetime
• specific questions to ask yourself to get a clearer sense of where and how your gifts are most needed
• how to connect to your intuition to know when you must take immediate action (to correct an injustice) and when you must move into acceptance or letting go

My special guest for this episode is Josephine Carmela, an award-winning, transformational Empowerment & Relationship Mentor. For the past 12 years, she’s been helping heart-based entrepreneurs, coaches, and healers achieve breakthroughs to experience healthier love, harmony, and fulfillment.

Josephine is a Mind/Body Therapeutic coach, certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy™ Practitioner, and Relationship Mentor. She follows principles of somatic psychology for a “body-mind-spirit-emotion” holistic approach to enable transformation for her clients, drawing on her training in multiple disciplines including Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Dance Movement Therapy, Body Mind Centering, Kinetic Awareness, and Relational modalities. 

In 2016, she co-authored a book with New York Times Bestselling Authors Marci Shimoff, Chris and Janet Attwood, and appears in the Living Legacy Project honoring exceptional Canadian women. She is also the founder of AlignedFEMME which helps women embody conscious communication, emotional resilience, and empowered masculine/feminine dynamics. Josephine is on a mission to help women create healthier SELF-love and relationships that work. 

In this conversation, we touch on:

• how women are conditioned to give their power away (and what that often looks like)
• common patterns of undervaluing, minimizing, and shrinking ourselves to please others or avoid conflict
• how we can lose our sense of identity in relationships, and how to begin getting back in touch with your true self, your needs, and your desires
• what "owning and speaking your SACRED YES" really means

• the huge impact you're here to create... and why it's important to continue healing yourself so you can serve others at your highest level

Welcome to another episode of INNER WORK! 

In this one, I dispel some myths and misconceptions about what it means to be spiritual, and what is required of us as spiritual and evolved beings.

I also invite you to challenge some limited beliefs we might have internalized from the mainstream spiritual community.

I address topics such as:

• you can be spiritual and... make a lot of money (so you can be a conscious steward of abundance and help humanity evolve through your contributions)
• you can be spiritual and... set firm boundaries with people (only YOU get to choose who and what is allowed into your life and energy field)
• you can be spiritual and... feel human emotions like sadness, anger, resentment, grief (they will NOT derail your manifestations, if you allow yourself to feel them without judgment)
• you can be spiritual and... ENJOY earthly pleasures and experiences

Thank you for being here and for continuing to work on your evolution. It makes a difference!

Did you know that, in addition to offering us divine guidance, healing, and wisdom, the Akashic Records can serve as a potent tool of manifestation?

In this episode of Inner Work, I teach you some ways to harness the power of the Akashic Records to manifest your highest desires (in alignment with your authentic self, and for the highest good of all concerned.)

Join me for a discussion of:

• a listener question about using the Akashic Records for manifestation
• why the Records are NOT a predictive or fortune-telling tool (and how to use them instead)
• 2 specific practices for manifesting through the Akashic Records
• troubleshooting guide for when your manifestations aren't showing up... yet

Your ego self is the façade of yourself you have unconsciously and inevitably created as a consequence of living in a society, in a family, in a particular human culture.

This ego self is a protective construct; a version of ourselves we create in order to blend in, to be accepted by others, to be liked, to be seen as worthy or valuable... and most of all, to not stand out or be kicked out of the tribe.

Your ego is, therefore, concerned with your survival and with how you come across to others. Above everything else.

Join me for a discussion of:

• how your ego self gets created
• how the agendas and concerns of your ego often clash with the higher-level purpose and desires of your Soul
• the ego's tactics for keeping you "safe"
• how your ego feeds you lies and illusions... and how to start shattering them (to get your ego out of the way)

Thank you for being here and for continuing to do your inner work! It's not always easy, so I commend you for being committed to your healing and growth.

Being in a state of victimhood is NOT FUN. It can be extremely challenging, painful, and difficult to get out of -- especially since it's an unconscious state of being.

By virtue of living in a human family, society, and culture, we're often conditioned or taught (unconsciously) to use victimhood to bond with others, to get sympathy or care, or to lower others' expectations of us.

In this episode of Inner Work, I talk in depth about what victimhood really is, how and why we might get stuck in it, and how to identify when you're operating from a state of victimhood in your life.

I also share ways in which the Akashic Records can powerfully help you shift out of victimhood and claim your full power, self-worth, and energy.

This episode of INNER WORK is all about claiming your spiritual and divine gifts, stepping into your authentic self fully, and aligning with the sacred service you're here to offer humanity.

You have a unique and important role to play in humanity's evolution, and you have gifts that can assist other humans in becoming freer and more conscious beings.

So what are those gifts you carry within you, what are some deeper layers of those gifts, and how can you begin claiming your inner power fully?

If you feel deep in your Soul that you're here to be of service in a meaningful way, join me as we explore these questions... and more.

Thank you for being willing to step into the sacred work you're here to do. No one else can do it YOUR way, so your presence is absolutely essential.

We all inevitably grow up with and internalize certain cultural beliefs and assumptions. These can include beliefs about life, family, relationships, the world, ourselves... as well as cultural standards about physical appearance, money, success, and what we "should" do or be to fit in.

These beliefs can truly limit us or cause suffering and stuckness in our lives. As you walk your path of awakening, it's important to question the cultural beliefs and assumptions you've taken on unconsciously.

In this episode, I talk about:

• my discovery of an insidious cultural belief I had been carrying (the belief that "life will eventually disappoint you")
• how these cultural beliefs and assumptions get internalized
• how we're conditioned to want things that our culture says we should want... instead of allowing ourselves to follow our authentic desires
• how to begin noticing and releasing cultural ideas and assumptions that have held you hostage

Are you trying to prove your generosity, worth, value, intelligence, or integrity to the wrong people? To people who will never really get it?

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about this insidious pattern of trying to prove yourself to everyone -- even people who will never appreciate or be able to receive what you're trying to give (or who you are as a person).

I share a story from my own life of trying to prove myself to the wrong people, including family members and potential clients. I also walk you through a series of powerful prompts for self-reflection, so you can identify where and how you've been trying to prove yourself to the wrong people... and how to stop!

Special acknowledgment: Thank you to Gigi for being so wise and bringing so much clarity to this topic in my life.

• the 5 of Pentacles and how to walk through a dark night of the Soul
• the 6 of Pentacles as a return to harmony, shared abundance, and divine order

And more!

As humans, we can take things so personally. Even things that are petty, innocuous, or not personal at all.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I share some ideas for how to begin taking things less personally so you can maintain your inner peace, sanity, and well-being. (And improve your relationships with other humans!)

I also talk about how it's your EGO that takes things personally, gets offended, gets defensive, and wants you to prove you're right. An important antidote to this is to stay aligned, as much as you can, with the perspective and energy of your Higher Self.

This is a love letter to you, my fellow introvert.

I share a recent situation that triggered an old story related to me being an introvert (and feeling weird, different, weak, and abnormal because of it). I also share how I used that situation to release this story and shift to a deeper place of self-love and self-appreciation.

I talk about:

• the triggering event that made me feel weird and abnormal for being introverted
• how I used this situation to grow and understand my needs more clearly
• common needs we have as introverts (that other people might not get)
• building your self-confidence and self-love
• releasing patterns of self-judgment and self-criticism

I hope this is helpful! Remember you're an extraordinary person just as you are, and don't need to change yourself to fit in. Thank you for being here.

After LOTS of demand for this, I've finally gotten around to it - creating a series on the Tarot Pentacles!

I've already covered the Tarot Cups, Swords, and Wands on this podcast (all episodes available if you look for them), so this final series will bring us to completion with the full Tarot deck.

In this inaugural episode, I address:

• general characteristics and relevant features of the suit of Pentacles (as a whole)
• multiple meanings of the pentacle as a symbol 
• how the suit of Pentacles can help you stay grounded, rooted, and connected to the Earth
• opening up to abundance and increasing your capacity to RECEIVE through the suit of Pentacles
• in-depth discussions of the Ace of Pentacles, 2 of Pentacles, and 3 of Pentacles

Thank you to everyone who requested this. I hope it's helpful!

Are you often (or even constantly) looking for new spiritual knowledge, tools, or resources? Do you know when to stop, so you can integrate everything you've learned so far and apply it in your life?

It's so important to keep seeking, to keep evolving, to keep doing our inner work. At the same time, we want to make sure we're not doing this compulsively, or as a form of spiritual bypassing or escapism.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about:

• how to recognize any patterns of using spirituality or spiritual pursuits to try to avoid reality, uncomfortable feelings, or genuine healing work
• how to avoid becoming "spiritually constipated" (awesome words from a listener email I answer in this episode)
• how to do a spiritual and energetic "decluttering" for yourself
• how to trust your inner knowing more, instead of looking for answers or wisdom outside yourself

I'm sending lots of gratitude to Penny for writing in with this thoughtful topic.

I'm so thrilled and humbled by how our podcast community is growing in meaningful ways.

Brilliant musical artist Rajinee Buquing (working under the name sayang) is a long-time listener of this podcast and has created a song inspired by Inner Work. The song is called Inner Work (Intro) + Leftovers.

I want to share this song with you and introduce you to Rajinee -- a deeply thoughtful, talented, lovely person who is daring to be authentically herself in this world, despite the pressures and expectations she has faced to be someone other than who she is. I know you will be moved by her message (and her voice, which is a divine gift!).

“The ability to process anxiety in a healthy way is critical to maintaining your quality of life. Anxiety is a reflection of your body chemistry changes when you are in an arousal state. Anxiety is both normal and necessary – it will never disappear. The harder you try to suppress anxiety, the stronger it will become. Thus, avoiding anxiety becomes its own stressor.” - Dr. David Hanscom

With this episode of INNER WORK, I seek to normalize fear, anxiety, and discomfort as natural parts of our human experience.

Rather than trying to get rid of, fix, run away from, or ignore any of these normal human sensations and experiences, I will guide you in developing a "working relationship" with them - so you can live a joyful, free, abundant life while peacefully accepting the presence of these inevitable emotions (when they show up... because they will).

As an example, I share how I've developed a "working relationship" with imposter syndrome, in my own life and business.

Boundaries.

Where are yours? How are you at setting clear boundaries in your life? How comfortable do you feel enforcing them?

This episode will take you into an exploration of boundaries - what they are, what they mean, how they can help you, and why we often have a hard time setting them.

I also talk about the difference between external boundaries (boundaries you set with other people / the world) and internal boundaries (boundaries you set with yourself, internally).

As a companion to this episode, I've created a 60-minute guided healing journey called Healthy Boundaries: Clearing and Claiming Your Space in the World. It will help you clear, reclaim, and set healthier boundaries in 4 spaces you inhabit: your mental space, emotional space, physical body, and physical environment. To access that resource, go here:

How are you responding to the world around you, and to the things that happen in your life? What are your default, knee-jerk reactions when something unexpected, unpleasant, or challenging happens?

This episode of INNER WORK will help you investigate your unconscious and automatic responses to life, where they originate, and how you can begin to soften them. I cover:

• 5 unconscious ways of responding to life: being constantly jumpy or nervous (i.e., hypervigilance), internalizing, externalizing, freezing up, and hyperproductivity
• why and how these types of responses are developed in the first place
• how these unconscious responses are meant to protect us (even if they are misguided)
• my own struggles with hyperproductivity - and what I do to return to a place of calm, conscious awareness

You must often face your own patterns, limitations, and triggers as you grow a spiritual or healing business. Working as a healer, coach, or spiritual practitioner requires you to continually heal yourself, release old patterns, and keep evolving - so you can show up for the people you serve at your highest level.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about the emotional work required in growing a spiritual business. I address:

• the triggering event in my own business that sparked this episode (what the trigger was and how I dealt with it)
• dysfunctional patterns that can come up as you grow your spiritual business and work with clients, including imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and second-guessing yourself
• WHY doing emotional work on ourselves is required for us healers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners
• how to begin showing up at your highest level, so you can powerfully serve your clients (and make the work you do more rewarding)

You're a weirdo. I'm a weirdo too. Our weirdness is our power. 

In this episode, I talk about how it feels to be an interplanetary soul and to experience the loneliness that often comes along with it.

I created this podcast for you if:

• you often feel like you don't quite belong on Earth
• you often feel "homesick" or like planet Earth is not your home base
• you're confused or baffled by how humans do things (especially politics, money, relationships, living in linear time)
• you grew up feeling like a weirdo or outcast, even within your own family, peer group, or hometown
• you're a highly sensitive, empathic Soul

Are you looking for answers outside yourself? Believing others know best or that your own inner knowing isn't enough? 

Perhaps you're overly focused on others' opinions and ideas about what you should do or how you should live your life. Or feeling like you can't make decisions without asking for lots of input from others.

Sometimes, we turn to spiritual tools or modalities to try to get answers to our most pressing questions, and to help us make decisions. This is a wonderful thing to do, and we must also be mindful of not giving our power away to these tools or modalities.

In this episode, I address this pattern of looking for answers outside of ourselves, how to identify if you're doing that in your life, and how to begin trusting yourself more.

What's your relationship with your body? Are you honoring, caring for, and embracing where your body is right now? Or do you feel at odds with your body, struggling against it, trying to override its needs?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about developing a healthier, more loving, more compassionate relationship with your body - wherever it is right now. This can be challenging when our bodies are sick, uncomfortable, aging, not feeling well, or have undergone some other changes.

Your body is, ultimately, the sacred home for your Soul in this lifetime. The more you can cherish it, the more peace and well-being you'll create in your life.

Join me as I discuss:

• my own recent experience of illness, which inspired this episode
• how to be more comfortable with physical (or emotional) discomfort
• how to do Somatic Tracking to find relief from physical pain, discomfort, or other symptoms
• how to speak to your body in a more nourishing, loving way

This episode is going out to you if you've been feeling lonely, isolated, or disconnected lately. Being human can feel like a lonely experience sometimes, especially if we forget that we're an integral part of this Universe - and that everything is interconnected.

I share my own recent struggles with loneliness and talk about:

• the difficulty of making friends as an adult
• how you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
• how moving, changing schools, changing careers, working from home, and other circumstances can make you feel more isolated 
• how technology has made our lives more convenient but also separated us from each other
• being ok with feelings of loneliness as part of the human experience (and as something that unites us!)

Have you ever allowed someone else's mess - their messy relationship, life decisions, chaotic living, clutter, chronic lateness, etc - destroy your inner peace? Or have you ever judged YOURSELF for being "messy" as a human?

This episode is all about re-framing our understanding of the word "mess", so you won't allow anyone else's mess to destroy your inner peace and you won't judge yourself or others for being "messy" either.

I talk about:

• the real-life scenario that triggered my ego and sparked this topic idea! (it involves a missed appointment)
• how we sometimes too quickly interpret an event as bad, wrong, or messy - when in fact it's happening in service of our healing or growth
• how to detach yourself from other people's "messes" so you can allow them to learn whatever they need to learn, while sustaining your inner peace
• rescuer/fixer patterns that might be causing you issues - such as a pattern of jumping in to rescue people financially

I address:

• the 5 main ways you can tell information is genuinely coming from the Akashic Records (or not)
• potential ego distractions that might block your ability to receive
• why and how your ego might try to prevent you from growing or healing
• why time-specific or predictive info is typically NOT coming from the Records

Introducing a brand new series on this podcast... EVOLUTION.

Your healing journey is a process of continual, ongoing evolution. Of you becoming more evolved every day. Of you evolving beyond old patterns, habits, dysfunctions, defense mechanisms, belief systems, and self-imposed limitations. Evolving beyond the past. Evolving beyond anything that isn't truthfully YOU, at your highest level.

In this inaugural episode of EVOLUTION, I address the topic of judgment - of both self and others. I talk about:

• how the meaning of the word "judgment" has changed over time
• how judgment is a form of punishment (and self-punishment)
• how we sometimes use judgment to try to feel more powerful, better, smarter, or more capable than others 
• how the impulse to judge arises from a hurt, offended, threatened, or scared ego
• how we've used judgment in human societies to try to bond with others - but why it's not an authentic form of relating

I want to thank Doug for suggesting this topic and being a loyal supporter of Inner Work.

Are you using the past to victimize yourself? 

Do you often repeat stories like, "if my parents had done (or not done) XYZ when I was growing up, I would be so much better off today..." or "because I was cheated on 5 years ago, I can't trust men now..." or "if I had gone to school 20 years ago, my life would be better now..."?

These are stories where we use the past - and whatever happened - to victimize and limit ourselves, unconsciously, in the present.

In this episode, I share a story of school bullying from my past and how I've used that story to justify my lack of trust in women as an adult. It's a vulnerable episode!

We'll also talk about how to start detaching from these limiting stories so you can be free, happy, and at peace NOW. (Which is the only thing that really matters.)

I get questions about the Akashic Records almost daily, from listeners of this podcast, students, and clients. In this bonus episode of Inner Work, I address many of these common questions to clear up confusion and give you a deeper insight into the Records.

Some of these questions include:

• Do you have to be physically still (sitting or lying down) to open the Akashic Records?
• Who determines how long you can stay inside the Records?
• What happens if you forget to close your Akashic Records after opening them?
• Do you need to eat a specific diet to be able to connect to the Records?

And MORE!

Before you started waking up, you engaged in some unconscious patterns and habits (we all did!). These might include survival strategies, coping mechanisms, and ego defense patterns you developed to try to protect yourself.

In this episode, we'll cover three of these patterns:

• over-thinking: churning thoughts in your mind over and over, overanalyzing minor details, retreating into your intellect to avoid feeling your feelings, using your mental prowess to feel safe or successful
• second-guessing: doubting your choices and decision-making process, doubting your intuition and gut knowing, fearing you will make a terrible mistake and regret it later
• self-doubt: minimizing your own value and worth, feeling like an impostor or fraud, doubting your abilities and gifts

I will also give you some targeted, hard-hitting questions to become more conscious and begin softening these patterns.

This episode offers you another deep dive into the Akashic Records. We'll cover:

• how the Akashic Records are not just another spiritual tool or modality, but a portal into a state of being 
• how the Akashic Records - and learning how to work with them - can help you heal and sustain a frequency of love, self-compassion, abundance, peace, and clarity in your life
• 4 keys for effectively accessing the Akashic Records and receiving information
• how your mindset and energetic frequency are the MOST important elements of working with the Akashic Records... much more than the particular method, words, prayer, or ritual you use to open them

I also mention the 3 major ways of working with the Akashic Records with me:

Many of you were moved by my recent episode titled "You're not broken (and don't need to be fixed)." I wanted to offer a continuation on that theme, so here we are: if you're not broken... all you need to heal is your perception.

In other words, all you need to heal is a perception of yourself as flawed, unworthy, damaged, broken, or not good enough. These are false ideas you've picked up along the road of life... but they are NOT the truth about you.

Once you correct your perception and begin to see (and feel) things clearly again, you realize you have always been worthy. And nothing from your past or present has ever taken away your worthiness or made you less lovable.

In this episode, I also talk about the importance of doing your inner work from a place of peace, self-love, and self-compassion... NOT from a frantic place of trying to fix or heal yourself.

Do you allow yourself to feel the full range of human emotions - including anger, sadness, grief, loneliness, resentment and also love, excitement, joy, freedom?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about taking an honest look at how you're relating to your own emotions. I'll guide you towards a deeper understanding of which emotions you might be suppressing, maybe because they feel uncomfortable or inconvenient, or because someone growing up told you they were unacceptable and you should not feel them.

I'll walk you through a series of 5 key questions for self-reflection, so you can heal your relationship to your own emotions and increase your capacity to accept, be with, and feel those emotions - whatever they may be.

Guilt can often show up when you begin setting firmer boundaries, taking care of yourself, and honoring your needs. Especially if you've spent years as a people-pleaser, saying YES to everything and everyone and putting yourself last.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to deal with feelings of guilt that might come up when you set boundaries and follow your truth. Thank you to Sofia for writing in!

This then dovetails into a discussion of getting clear on your Divine Standards - these are your highest intentions for how you want to live and how you want to BE in the world from this day forward. I'll explain how you can create your own Divine Standards and share some examples to get you started.

Impostor syndrome is a spiritual and psychological phenomenon where you believe that you are a fraud or not good enough. You live in fear that other people are eventually going to discover this about you.

Impostor syndrome can be really heavy to carry, as it lowers your self-esteem and interferes with your ability to follow your Soul's higher calling - because you don't believe you're worthy or good enough.

Here are some other ways in which impostor syndrome can affect you:

• makes you feel like a fraud; like others are going to discover this and you'll be exposed as unworthy
• makes you second-guess and doubt yourself
• makes you undervalue, minimize, and diminish your natural gifts and life experience
• keeps you on edge and hypervigilant around other people, especially when you feel you're being watched or have to "perform" in some way
• creates self-sabotage, inner conflict, and stuckness when you try to expand or go beyond your comfort zone
• stifles your creativity

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore what impostor syndrome really is and how you can begin to soften it.

What's getting in the way of your connection to Divine Source, and to the Divine within yourself? In this impromptu episode of AWAKENING, I talk about identifying and releasing any sources of interference that are blocking your connection to Source, inner divinity, and intuition.

These sources might include:

• the voices of your parents/authority figures from your upbringing
• the voices of religious rules or admonitions
• the voices of former teachers

Many of us have been conditioned and taught to believe that we're broken and need to be fixed. You may now be perpetuating this belief through your choices, actions, and your treatment of yourself.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore where this belief really comes from and how to start believing something else, something much more truthful - that you are NOT broken and don't need to be fixed in any way.

If you need help doing your inner work and could use some of my tools and guidance, you can explore my Resources for Self-Healing: https://josephinehardman.com/resources/

Do you have a personality that creates and perpetuates stress in your life? In this episode, we'll dive into these stress-inducing personality traits:

• perfectionism
• "good girl" or "good boy" syndrome, a.k.a. people-pleasing
• rigidity
• excessive skepticism, a.k.a. needing to see before you will believe
• attachment to rational/linear thinking
• defensiveness
• egocentrism

We'll also talk about some antidotes and ways to begin softening these traits, so they won't rule your life anymore.

I mention two helpful books in this episode: 

• Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self: Contemplations from the Teachings of David Hawkins

How old is the part of you that still carries this belief, and what did that part experience?

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 2, is to reflect on this prompt (and additional questions from the episode): What does being inauthentic mean to you? What are the physical sensations and emotions that arise within you when you're being inauthentic?

This episode of AWAKENING is an exploration of physical death, which we will all experience as humans at one point or another. What happens to the body when we die, and what happens to the Soul or consciousness? How can we understand this process of death from a spiritual perspective? We will also explore what it means when someone we love dies, and how we might cope with such an experience.

Throughout the episode, I mention this book: The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, published by Sounds True in June 2023 - https://www.soundstrue.com/products/the-tibetan-book-of-the-dead-for-beginners

Have you ever felt or identified as an outsider, outcast, black sheep, alien, or non-comformist? Do you have any wounds related to being rejected, excluded, left out, or feeling unwelcome or like you just don't belong? This episode is for you.

We'll dive deeply into the outsider archetype:

• how can we define this archetype?
• what does it mean to be an outsider?
• outsider examples from literature and pop culture
• my personal anecdote of feeling like (and being) an outsider
• the potential wounds you might be carrying (such as the wound of rejection or the wound of exclusion)
• fully activating the gifts and powers that come with being an outsider

This episode of AWAKENING takes you through an exploration of your core values. What are the values that really matter to you, that make life most meaningful for you, and that you want to uphold in everything you do and how you live your life?

We'll talk about how to uncover your core values and how to identify when you're straying away from those values - based on how you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I also read some thoughtful words from one of my students, Richard, who generously agreed to share his core values with us. I hope you will draw inspiration from these words and create your own creative statement of values.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I talk about the experience of falling out of alignment with something you've manifested - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, a place to live, or something else.

It can be disheartening to no longer be fulfilled by something you wanted to manifest for a long time, or for it not to feel as you expected it to. How can you course correct and pivot into another, different manifestation if this happens? Let's explore that together.

I'll give you a set of prompts to reflect on which part of you desired this manifestation in the first place, and what your Higher Self might be calling you towards now.

I also share a new technique to connect to your Akashic Records - in case you want to use the Records to explore the prompts.

Have you been unconsciously giving your power away to family? Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, hiding who you really are in front of family, forcing yourself to interact with relatives, or even feeling responsible for a family member who should be taking care of themselves?

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be giving your power away to family - and how to start taking that power back. I walk you through:

• some common disempowering patterns and behaviors related to family, so you can begin identifying these in your own life
• a 5-step process to start taking your power back from family by setting healthier boundaries
• examples of specific boundaries you might need to set (and how to word them)

This episode is a continuation of previous ep. 147: Navigating the Complexities of Family in the Human Dimension - https://josephinehardman.com/inner-work-147-navigating-the-complexities-of-family-in-the-human-dimension/

This episode is a response to a listener email asking: "am I still healing and growing spiritually even during periods of stasis, where nothing much seems to be happening?"

We'll explore what stasis could mean in the context of spiritual healing and growth, and how you can make the most of any periods of relative calm or quiet in your life.

Some of the main takeaways from this episode include:

• why it's impossible to go back to sleep once you have awakened - even though we often try to
• although stasis can mean stagnation, it can also mean equilibrium - so a period of stasis could be a period of arriving into greater balance within yourself
• why things are still shifting even when you can't perceive the changes yet
• letting go of the attachment to growing through pain or suffering

Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?

In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.

I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:

Embracing Your Inner Critic

The Self-Acceptance Project

In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

In this special episode, I introduce you to the Akashic Records - what they are, how they work, and how we can use them to heal ourselves and transcend ego patterns.

I was first introduced to the Akashic Records as a teenager by my mom (a therapist and healer), and have been working with them on a daily basis for most of my adult life. I became certified as an Akashic Records Practitioner and started giving readings to others in 2012, and have since developed a unique curriculum for my own Akashic Records Certification Program.

In my time using the Records - both for my personal healing and to assist others with their evolution - I've been delighted, awed, deeply moved, transformed, and continually fascinated by their power, benevolence, and wisdom.

In this episode, I invite you to learn more about the Akashic field and how tapping into this field we call "the Records" can help you awaken and become who you REALLY are.

As a companion resource for this episode, I've created a guided healing journey into the Akashic Records. I'll guide you into a meditative, receptive state and we will open your Records together. You'll have a chance to ask a specific question (or focus on an issue you want to shift) and receive healing on all levels - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical.

My guest for this episode is MaryCatherine McDonald, a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma since completing her PhD in 2016. 

While engaging with trauma academically, MaryCatherine experienced the loss of her parents - a significant event that required her to apply her knowledge and insights regarding trauma to herself.

In this interview, we talk about the important ways in which MaryCatherine believes we must re-define trauma and our approach for healing it. I (Josephine) share a bit of my immigration trauma story, and MaryCatherine helps me better understand my own healing process.

MaryCatherine's new book, Unbroken: The Trauma Response is Never Wrong has just been published by Sounds True.

Working with a healer or teacher on your path of awakening can be an empowering, helpful, very supportive experience. Healers and teachers can help us grow beyond our limits and address blindspots or work through things we might not be able to heal on our own.

At the same time, it's important to be discerning when you seek out a new healer, teacher, or spiritual modality. Just because someone or something is labeled "spiritual" doesn't mean it is necessarily aligned with you, or free of ego.

In this episode, I share some ideas about potential issues or red flags you might look for when seeking out a new healer, teacher, or healing modality. Please follow your intuition and gut feelings, and never allow anyone to pressure you into working with them!

You have likely manifested many things while you were asleep - both wonderful, joyful things and sometimes things that were not so pleasant, or that you didn't actually want.

This episode focuses on how to manifest your desires - for particular experiences, relationships, money, health, aligned work - once you're spiritually awake.

I answer a listener's email on this topic, and cover these discussion points:

• how you can get tripped up once you believe in your own power of manifestation
• how your ego self might derail your manifestations through over-thinking, analysis paralysis, or self-doubt
• what to do if you're questioning/over-analyzing whether your desires are coming from your ego or Soul

This episode is going out, with love, to all my fellow recovering people-pleasers. This is also an important episode if you have any tendencies of seeking approval from others, or feeling like you have to ask others for permission to be your authentic self.

Join me for an in-depth discussion of:

• what people-pleasing actually is
• how we might use people-pleasing as a "shield of niceness" to protect or defend ourselves
• the core fears that drive people-pleasing
• the consequences of people-pleasing on your whole being (emotions, body, mind, Soul)

I've created a guided healing journey as a companion to this episode, to help you release people-pleasing and approval-seeking behaviors. To access this resource, you can go to my Resources for Self-Healing page (scroll down a bit if you're on mobile):

Are you carrying a mindset of scarcity, lack, or unworthiness when it comes to money? Fear of not having enough or losing what you do have? If yes, it's possible these patterns, emotions, and beliefs regarding money were passed down to you through your family line.

Join me for another episode of INNER WORK where we explore the influence and repercussions of ancestral contracts, patterns, and burdens in our lives. Focusing on inherited beliefs and emotions around money and abundance, I share a case study in ancestral contracts from my own family.

Although you are primarily an Infinite Being of Light, you're also incarnated into a physical, human body. On the 3D human plane, money is a necessary currency - to keep yourself alive, to feed yourself, to shelter yourself, to make things happen in the world.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to shift into a mindset of abundance, create a healthy relationship with money, and forgive ourselves for any past financial mistakes or missteps.

I also address why it's best not to demonize money or see it as evil. Ultimately, it's not money that corrupts us. What can corrupt us is an unchecked ego, which seeks to accumulate more and more and constantly fears lack or tries to assert its power over others.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email about how to heal after experiencing cheating in a relationship. I use this as a jumping-off point to address many different experiences of betrayal - within families, in friendships, in romantic partnerships - and how we can begin to heal the aftereffects of betrayal.

Please be kind and compassionate with yourself as you listen to this episode, and allow yourself to gently feel anything that comes up for you. Please know that healing is always possible.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore why it's important to identify any behaviors, habits, relationships, or choices that could be suppressing your life force. This is your vital energy, which animates your physical body. For you to feel healthy, balanced, and spiritually connected, your life force must be flowing freely throughout your body and energy system.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what is your life force, and where does this concept come from?
• what are the negative consequences of suppressing or blocking your life force?
• which behaviors, habits, and patterns can potentially suppress your life force and drain your energy?
• questions to ask yourself to determine if you're supporting your life force or blocking it

When you listen with your heart instead of your head or human ears, what do you hear? What do you perceive and know?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the frequency, resonance, and deep knowing of your heart. Your heart holds a powerful seed of silence, healing, wisdom, and connection to all that is - to every other Soul in this Universe. So how do you tune out of the human world of noise, confusion, and (often) chaos to return to the healing silence of your heart? Join me for a discussion of this, as I invite you to become a more heart-centered being.

This topic was inspired by a beautiful, meaningful, mystical poem by healer and artist Kathryn Wyatt. Thank you Kathryn for allowing me to share your poem. To explore Kathryn's work, please visit https://blueonyxarts.com

How can you navigate the complexities of having a family in the human dimension? In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email on this topic. Join me for a discussion of:

• the complexities of family dynamics in our human dimension
• dispelling myths and delusions about family from the 3D reality, such as the myths that blood is thicker than water and that you owe your family or parents your life
• how to deal with feelings of guilt, burden, or obligation towards your family
• what it can feel like to be a Starseed or interplanetary soul in a family of (mostly) Earth-based souls
• giving yourself permission to create a family or tribe outside your family of origin

In this episode of AWAKENING, we explore the effects of dysfunctional ancestral patterns, contracts, and burdens you might be carrying.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what are ancestral contracts, vows, and unconscious agreements?
• how do these contracts and burdens get passed down through the family line?
• the importance of identifying unconscious agreements you might have with ancestors or family members - including agreements to suppress your truth, to play small, to keep the peace at all costs, to abandon yourself, to rescue everyone, to feel unworthy of abundance, or to carry your ancestors' suffering for them
• exploring a sequence of powerful questions to identify potential ancestral contracts and patterns in your life

I've created a special resource to go along with this episode: a 40-minute guided healing journey to clear any and all ancestral contracts, patterns, burdens, and unconscious agreements from your energy field and physical body. We'll sweep through each of your energy centers, or chakras, to revoke and clear any contracts or burdens stuck there. To purchase this audio, go here:

Are you receiving love openly? Are you connecting to the stream of love all around you and within you?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the energy of love, as well as your capacity to feel, connect to, receive, and embody that energy. We'll begin with a quick exercise to check in on your ability to give and receive self-love (we must always start here). I then talk about:

• what might hinder your capacity to give and receive love
• why sometimes we close our hearts off for self-protection
• what happens when you carry the painful belief that you're broken, flawed, or unlovable - at your core
• intimate relationships and what they teach us about ourselves
• overcoming the delusion that a romantic partner can complete or fix you

Throughout the episode, I mention the book A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore what it means to experience a crisis of purpose as you awaken. Join me for a discussion of:

• what is a crisis of purpose? how do you know if you're going through one?
• how waking up spiritually can make us realize we're not in alignment with our true purpose
• how your tolerance for mis-alignment and lack of fulfillment goes down the more you awaken
• my own crisis of purpose that led me to quit academia to start doing spiritual work
• practices to begin connecting with your true, Soul-level purpose

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore whether it's possible to remain on the spiritual path - and continue evolving - while using substances such as alcohol and drugs.

Join me for a discussion on:

• can alcohol use be compatible with the spiritual path?
• the importance of identifying our intentions and motivations for using substances
• how to notice if a particular substance or behavior is hindering your growth
• being mindful of how we're bonding with others, especially if some of our relationships are built mostly on substance use

Towards the end of this episode, I asked my husband and lifelong spiritual seeker Garrett to chime in with his first-hand experience of psychedelics and "tripping" (since I have none!).

I extend my deepest gratitude to Kris for writing in and sparking this episode! Your openness and vulnerability in sharing have served all of us.

This episode of AWAKENING explores both the benefits and potential consequences of being vulnerable with people in your life. I share a few personal anecdotes of being vulnerable in 2022 and how my friends and family members have responded.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what it really means to be vulnerable with yourself and others
• why some people have a more limited capacity and tolerance for vulnerability
• how to accept where others are while being true to yourself and your need for deep connection
• how to deal with a vulnerability hangover
• how to decide whether, with whom, and how much to share when big things happen in your life

Thank you for tuning in and supporting the podcast! Your presence here means the world to me.

Please be kind to yourself and others - we're all doing the best we can with what we have and where we are right now.

Recently, a listener of this podcast asked me an important question: how do we bring our insights and healing down to Earth, to share them with others? How do we embody our spiritual insights?

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer this question and talk about:

• how to avoid using spirituality or spiritual tools (like the Akashic Records) as forms of escapism
• how to periodically review your spiritual insights and lessons, to see whether you're actually applying them in your life
• a personal story of how I've been applying a recent spiritual insight in my own life
• questions to help you come into greater integrity with yourself and your spiritual principles

My guest for this episode is Jessica Flanigan Brown, clinical nutritionist and author of The Loving Diet. Jessica has been practicing clinical nutrition for 25 years, specializing in gut restoration and disordered eating, especially in mid-life. She's getting certified as a compassion teacher at Stanford University School of Medicine’s CCARE Applied Compassion Training program. Jessica helps others get in touch with the healing power of their heart through a practical approach.

In this interview, we talk about the marital separation that broke Jessica open and how she turned to compassion as an essential practice to begin healing.

Among other topics, we also talk about why so many of us carry a core belief of being broken, flawed, or unlovable - and how we can begin to shift that.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be handing over your power and decision-making to others.

We'll run through some common examples of how (and why) we might do this in daily life, how it feels in the body when you give your power away, and some specific steps to start taking your power back - on every level.

On the path of awakening, you might be called to begin living in a different or new way. This can happen when you're truly listening to your heart and tuning in to your inner guidance.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener's email about how to begin aligning with the lifestyle and way of living that most resonates with you (and how to release limiting beliefs and fears along the way). 

Join me for a discussion of:

• having the desire to live a peaceful, simpler life where you get to express yourself creatively or live in community with others 
• the importance of clarifying WHERE your desires are coming from, and WHY you're desiring these things
• giving yourself permission to live a life that is right for you
• clearing out internal blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs so you can create your desired lifestyle 
• an introduction to Byron Katie's The Work - you can explore this for yourself here: https://thework.com

This episode of INNER WORK is a spiritual exploration of hunger, desire, and how we relate to food. This discussion will be especially helpful if you have (or have ever had) a disordered relationship to food and eating. We'll examine what your relationship to food might have to do with your deeper hungers and desires, particularly if you're not fully allowing yourself to feel or express those desires. We'll also explore how the way you relate to food can often point to deeper places in yourself that are not being fulfilled or tended to.

In this episode, I quote from two books: Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston, and Women Food and God by Geneen Roth.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this podcast contains a discussion of disordered eating. If this is triggering to you, please skip it.

What do you do if you outgrow your job, career, profession, or business? What happens if you discover that your work, or certain ways of working, are no longer aligned with you?

Join me for a discussion on this common experience of outgrowing your work or business as you continue awakening. In this episode, I talk about:

• the health challenges that have moved me to recognize the ways in which I've outgrown my spiritual business and past ways of working
• the importance of allowing your old identity to die to make space for the new to emerge
• being curious and truthful with yourself as you explore new possibilities for work, career, or business
• recognizing any unhelpful roles or identities you've taken on at work (like being the Helper, the Fixer, the Overachiever, etc), and releasing them

I also share a quick sneak preview about my upcoming course on discovering and living your true life purpose.

Does letting go of something mean that you no longer care about it? Or that you shouldn't have any feelings about it? Or that you should never think about it again? A listener recently wrote in with these questions - and more - about what it really means to let go.

In this episode, I answer this listener's email by exploring the spiritual concepts of "letting go", attachment and detachment, and surrendering to the flow of life.

Do you have a hard time trusting the good in your life? Or trusting that life CAN be good? Or trusting that good things can last? This is the episode for you.

As you begin creating a more aligned, joyful life on your path of awakening, you might get tripped up if a part of you feels unworthy of goodness. Unworthy of expansion and freedom. Or if a part of you is skeptical about good things lasting, and is still expecting for the other shoe to drop.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore what could be behind that skepticism or difficulty trusting the good. I've included some affirmations to support you in trusting yourself and in your ability to create and sustain good things in your life.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener email that asked this question: What happens when a decision on your spiritual journey hurts someone else?

We'll dive into the topic of making tough choices on your spiritual path, when you know those choices will likely upset, hurt, or disappoint someone else. Join me for a discussion on:

• why it's so critical for you to live your truth and follow your Soul's calling, and how it hurts you and everyone else when you don't do this
• how to be more ok with disappointing others as you continue awakening
• how you can live authentically without abandoning yourself while still being a compassionate human
• the importance of detachment in close relationships (especially family relationships)

Are you allowing the past to define you? Are you still living an identity that was created long ago, and that no longer reflects who you really are... or who you are meant to be in this lifetime?

This episode of AWAKENING is all about coming to terms with and releasing the past, so you can create a new identity from an empowered, conscious, awakened place within yourself. 

I talk about how we unconsciously develop constricting, unhelpful, limited identities based on past experiences, and share a personal story to illustrate this. We'll then move into some powerful exercises to release limiting belief systems, behaviors, and energetic cords keeping you tethered to this old identity.

This episode of AWAKENING explores the dangers of staying only at a mental level of healing (mental insights or breakthroughs) and not applying or living your insights.

Join me for a discussion of:

• how and why insight is only one level of healing
• the temptation to stay only at a mental level of healing, which can delay emotional, spiritual, and physical healing
• how we can become addicted to mental breakthroughs at the expense of deeper healing
• the importance of reclaiming your personal responsibility in your healing process
• how to actively use your insights to awaken and transform your life, from the inside out

I hope this episode is helpful and brings you some ideas of how to heal in an integrative, holistic way that takes into account your whole being.

On the path of awakening, you can sometimes feel stuck in survival mode. You might use this mode as a coping mechanism, if you learned early on in life that you need to be tough, to put up with things, and to survive.

In this episode, I answer a listener's email about how to emerge out of survival mode and begin thriving. Join me for a discussion on:

• how there's absolutely NOTHING you need to just tolerate or put up with
• how survival mode keeps you stuck in your reptilian brain, unable to make creative and empowered choices for yourself
• the importance of resolving childhood trauma to emerge out of survival mode and feel safe
• how to start "breaking the habit of being yourself" (in the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza)

Throughout this episode, I recommend these important books:

Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine

Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza

I've sometimes heard from people that the Tarot is evil, and that using Tarot cards opens us up to negative forces and energies. I have also met people who are afraid of using the Tarot for these kinds of reasons. Is there any veracity to this?

In this bonus episode of INNER WORK, I address the belief that Tarot cards are evil. Join me for a discussion of:

• religious references and thoughts on Tarot cards & "divination"
• why Tarot cards - and other healing tools & practices - have been condemned throughout history
• powerful ways of using the Tarot that don't involve fortune-telling or divination
• the Doreen Virtue situation (and her ban on Tarot cards)

As always, everything in this episode is my personal opinion.

Your physical body is like a container for your Soul and Higher Self. But what happens when you've filled up this container with too many intrusive "guests", and your Higher Self is unable to anchor into your body? Why is it important to be able to fully embody your Higher Self? That's what we'll explore in this episode of AWAKENING.

Some of the intrusive or unwelcome guests that can occupy your body and energy field include the Overachiever, the Fixer, the Victim, and the Approval Seeker.

These are subpersonalities, or limited aspects of you that can get triggered by certain situations and people. Join me for a conversation on:

• the 6 most common subpersonalities that block your Higher Self and sabotage your healing
• how to begin noticing what you're allowing to take up residence within you
• the importance of recognizing the opposing agendas of your subpersonalities, so you can resolve inner conflict
• how to make more room for your Higher Self to enter
