Have you ever found yourself ready to end a habit but can't quite seem to make a change? 
​
Last year I found myself repeating some habits that I wasn't super happy with.
When I started listening to my body closer, I realized even though I loved it, coffee was not serving me.

I began to take a closer look at how coffee was affecting not just my body, but many of the other habits that followed coffee. 

One of the things that helped me finally step away from coffee was introducing a replacement. It was amazing to see how shifting that one thing helped me stop the other bad habits without even having to try.

The year was 2017. 

I had just finished building a school bus camper with my partner at the time.

 I was preparing to leave my house in Georgia, which I’d had for over 12 years, to see what it was like to live on the road.

This is a very different place from where I am today and is also a big part of how I got here. 

I'm going to share with you the following: 

🚍 A little bit about the road life. 

🌵 What was happening for me while I was on the road, and 

✨ The steps I took once I realized I was ready to come forward and share my spiritual work with others.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where I answer, “How do you become a Shaman?”

 All plant medicines carry a unique intelligence.

 When you work with a plant, you walk away from the experience carrying the wisdom of that plant.

Today, I want to take the episode to share a little bit about:

• My experience working with Ayahuasca,
• How it trained me as a practitioner, and
• How I was able to use its inherent wisdom to improve and expand my life.

Stay tuned til the end of the episode, where I answer the question, "How do you do soul retrieval?"

Hello and welcome to Psychedelics 101!

Today we will be talking about:

• Different types of plant medicine and how to utilize them,

• How to know which one is right for you, and
• How to find a good practitioner or container to hold you through what it is you’re seeking. 

Be sure to stay tuned til the end of the episode where I’ll answer the question, “Where is the best place to begin on my healing journey?”

Do you get super triggered when you see an example of when the internet is listening to you?

Do you feel like ads and marketing are just forms of toxic consumerism?

I've had a long-time distaste for advertising. 

In the past, I have been triggered by ads and have seen marketing as a form of brainwashing. 

However, I am starting to see some good in it. 

I like to see the creative ways that we communicate and share messages.

In this episode, I will share my journey from hating technology and ads to embracing and using them more intuitively and energetically. 

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where I answer, "How do I tap into the field for information?"

In this episode, I talk to Christian Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master, and Pastoral Counselor Dr. Amanda Brees.

She is a passionate bridge builder in many ways and is actively connecting the Christian world with the world of spirituality.

She has also cultivated a yoga practice to help heal codependency adaptable to different religious viewpoints, but it hasn’t taken off yet.

We do a live healing session to see where she might be blocked so she can open to abundance and get her work out there!

Are you intuitive and have been feeling the call to grow your spiritual gifts and figure out how to use them in your life or business?

Maybe you can feel the endless possibilities in your body but can’t quite tell what steps to take yet.

If you’re feeling called to connect more deeply with the earth, go through your next layer of healing, and offer your gifts to help others, then this episode is for you!

Missing out on your true purpose is the biggest disservice to yourself and becoming who you are meant to be is absolutely priceless. 

Be sure to stay tuned til the end of the episode where I answer the question, "What does it mean if I was a Shaman in a past life?"

Do you know people that you would really like to forget about or let go, but somehow they still find a way into your subconscious?

It can be frustrating when we think we have set a boundary but it's not working. 

That doesn't mean you can't do it, all it means is there is something left for you to see in the relationship. 

In this episode, I talk about:

🌙 Holding on to an unwanted visitor's psychic connection

🌙 Taking a look at the hooks, contracts, and energetic connections that exist in the unseen realm

🌙 How we can feel safe in our gifts without repeating the pattern of taking on other people's energy

• How spaciousness and play helped me call in the concept for my "Holy" program

If you are struggling with comparison, feeling like you aren’t professional enough, or maybe you even feel like whenever you are feeling full and confident someone tries to take you down… you are likely in what is called the sister wound.

It is so deeply embedded in our culture and has us feeling like we need to constantly compete with or separate ourselves from others. 

In this episode, I talk about what causes the sister wound, how to identify it, and steps we can take to heal it within ourselves.
