Souls and Stardust

Special guest Austin Varvel of Positive Minds, Positive Vibes Podcast joins Meo and Shannon for a very candid discussion on personal evolution, the craziness of personal spiritual paths, and getting deep and dirty in our own shadow work to be able to step into our soul's purpose in this life. The discussion touches upon Austin's journey in finding his motivation and purpose for wayshowing in a spiritual world, and how his, Meo and Shannon's experiences through everything from trauma, victimhood, personal awakening, taking responsibility for our own shadows, and being so brutally honest with ourselves about who we are, how we got here, and what needs to happen in order to keep growing and expanding into the best versions of ourselves.

What is the impact you want to create in this world and why?

We've all heard the phrase "it's the right person, but the wrong time," or "this is a great opportunity, but it's not the right time." What if all timing is exactly what it's supposed to be? What if the timing of certain people or opportunities in our lives is always perfect, always "good?" And what if how things, opportunities, and people enter our lives is always divinely aligned with our biggest soul and human lessons in that moment?

Meo and Shannon take on the topic of "bad versus good timing" and discuss whether that's just plain BS that we've told ourselves in order to sidestep the lessons that have been so carefully planned by our higher selves for this life. Deeply philosophical and spiritual, this discussion is still down-to-earth and practically applicable for our daily lives and how we navigate those things that feel extra confusing and/or challenging.

Join us for a beautifully authentic, vulnerable, and potent discussion with Christian Bradley West (aka The Country Clairvoyant) on all things spiritual awakening, coming into ourselves and our authenticity, the sometimes circular journey of deep healing, and above all... to not take life so seriously. Known partly for his work on social media in finding humor and pointing out the absurd within our spiritual journeys here on Earth, Meo and Shannon talk to Christian about how we can stay grounded and keep things in perspective while we try to heal, grow, and evolve in this life, especially in light of religious dogma, the multitude of different spiritual beliefs and "rules" that exist, and whatever hot spiritual "dos and don'ts" being touted by the latest popular gurus. This episode is jam-packed with the good stuff, most of all though, the emphasis on the importance of going within and finding what is truth for ourselves, being brutally honest with ourselves about what it means to be part of humanity, and how choosing to be open and vulnerable about our process. They discuss the importance of "showing your work" for others to see - all the messiness that's involved with healing and growth, and that doing so is one of the most authentic ways teachers or wayshowers can help others feel empowered to do the same.

Christian is witty, intelligent, compassionate, highly intuitive, and deeply empathetic. It was so fantastic to connect with him and record this conversation!

If you feel called to connect with Christian, you can find him at https://www.thecountryclairvoyant.com/ or on Instagram @thecountryclairvoyant

Join Shannon and Meo for a candid discussion with women's life coach, Kristen Odegaard, on the overthinking and people-pleasing traps that so many of us fall into at different stages of our lives. So exhausting! Their second ever guest to the podcast, Kristen talks about her own journey as a recovering people-pleaser and overthinker (amidst some big life changes), and how, through her own healing journey, she became inspired to help others through similar challenges in their lives. These ladies discuss some of the biggest challenges to being our most authentic selves and how rewiring your brains, our nervous systems, and our beliefs about ourselves and our value in this world is key to really stepping into our personal power and, more importantly, our peace.

If you're interested in connecting with Kristen, you can find her online at coachwithkristen.com and @kristen_odegaard_coaching on Instagram. You can also follow her new podcast Stop Overthinking, for excellent advice on tackling people-pleasing and overthinking challenges and how to best support yourself as your grow and learn (available on all major listening platforms).

Put in some earbuds, find a comfortable position, and settle in for a journey to the meeting place where your guides are waiting for you. Allow it to be what it will be for you, no forcing. Trust what comes up for you. It's okay too, if nothing profound happens the first time you try. Sometimes we need to be more patient with ourselves and let go of any expectation of what things 'should' look like.

Do this meditation any time you'd like to sit and meet with your guides.

Ready to get your Zen on and reconnect to your energy body? Give this meditation a try. You'll be feeling like a new person in no time.

Meo and Shannon sit down to talk about past life regressions again, giving more detail about why these types of sessions can be beneficial for your healing journey and what a session is typically like. They also share some of the neatest and most profound things that came out of their own personal past life regressions from the past year, reflecting on how this new insight has shifted the way they understand themselves and how they're meant to work through their healing in this life in order to step fully into their purpose for this turn on Earth.

Settle in for a fun discussion of venturing into other versions of ourselves that exist and a very candid back and forth about how these experiences enrich our conscious life here.

Meo and Shannon reflect on their first-ever offering of intuitive events. past life regression, and meditation opportunities as part of their Souls and Stardust "The Weekend." They discuss what worked well and how much they learned about the process of piecing together a weekend a-la-cart mini-retreat, plus highlight all the synchronistic and magical things that happened as a result of synergy and beautiful energy from multiple people all coming together in the same room! So much learning, healing, laughing, and crying occurred. 

Okay, Meo and Shannon dive into religion in this episode. 

*Disclaimer - the hosts share about their personal experiences with religion, how practicing in certain faiths both helped and hindered them at certain times in their lives, and how the experiences ultimately shaped who they are and helped them to evolve in their own connection to Source. In no way are they intending to disparage others' beliefs or delegitimize others' experiences within respective faiths or philosophies. This is merely meant to be a discussion of perspectives and food for thought.

That being said... woo Chili... this episode is a doosey. Full of raw sharing and emotion, also revelation about big soul lessons and the opportunities to build faith and trust within themselves, Meo and Shannon break down some of the biggest challenges and benefits of being involved in organized religion, and how asking deeper, bigger questions of themselves and their respective faiths actually brought them full circle to making very personal, authentic connections to God/Source/the Universe. They talk about the process of deconstructing from such engrained belief systems, especially the aspects that aren't the healthiest for personal well-being, and why it's so important to find what is truth for you first and foremost. 

Settle in for some truth bombs and revelations about the process of coming back to your true essence or discovering yourself for what feels like the very first time. Why is this so important? Because we made an agreement at the soul level to come to Earth and be/grow/learn/teach/evolve and to be our most authentic selves as we do that. In fact, the only way we can do those things is if we're moving through life as our most authentic selves! Meo and Shannon talk about how, as we grow from tiny children to adulthood, we experience cultural/family/religious conditioning that shapes the way we perceive ourselves, the world, and who/how we're "supposed" to be in light of these standards, rules, and constrictions. They discuss what happens when we're so disconnected from our authentic selves and how this can lead to feeling utterly lost and without purpose. They share about their own journeys in authenticity and rediscovering themselves, in particular what their own major revelations have been and how those served as a beautiful turning point in their rediscovery of and reconnection to self.

Everything becomes easier and more fulfilling when we're connected to true essence. Everything.

Welcome back for Season 5 of the podcast! We're so glad you're here! We can hardly believe that we've come as far as we have, and we look forward to how this passion project continues to blossom.

In this episode, Meo and Shannon dig into the topic of manifesting, but not from the ever popular (and also nebulous) perspective of Law of Attraction, focus on your dreams, pour positivity into it, and BOOM... your dreams arrive. Naw... these ladies address something much deeper in this effort of co-creating your life with the Universe. They dive into motivation for manifesting and the health of the mental/emotional/spiritual space that you're attempting to create from. It's not as simple as dreaming about what you want to arrive or who you want to become, it's about being honest with yourself about what exactly limits you and stands in your way. Are you running and hiding from that? Bypassing those wounds and limiting beliefs? Or are you looking those shadows right in the face to learn about yourself and what motivates you to move in the directions you desire? Meo and Shannon share personal stories about the work that was needed for themselves in order to manifest from an honest, responsible place mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and how doing the deepest, hardest inner work is where the most powerful alchemy exists for bringing your biggest dreams into physical reality.

Meo and Shannon bring out their tarot and oracle decks for a quick and fun general reading of the 2023 energies and what this year will bring us. Meant to be a general overview, they highlight some of our biggest challenges as individuals and a human collective, as well as give intuitive insights on all the amazingness that's possible if we can dig in and do our inner work. This year has powerful energy for finally bringing our dreams into physical reality if we can all just get out of our comfort zone and step into the unknown.

Settle in for a fun read of this years energy!

You are way more powerful than you can imagine! Yes, you. Our bodies are beautifully designed to channel healing energy. You don't have to be special or have extra sensory gifts or psychic abilities to be able to channel healing energy for yourself and for others. At our smallest level, particle size, we are energy first and physical last. So, all that our bodies hold and carry is energy (including mental and emotional loops, trauma, and behavioral patterns) that needs to flow and move through us. Holding onto it for long periods of time is what causes blockages and stuckness, which leads to discomfort, pain, and illness over time. So let's get that shit movin'!

Meo and Shannon talk about how simple it is to work with your own energy and begin to move it through your body for relief and effective healing of your own emotional, mental, and physical wounds. It's as easy as putting your hands on your body with pure love, and setting the intention to heal your body. They include a very simple example of how to do this without getting too in your head about whether you're doing it right! With pure intention, it will always be right!

This existence is far greater than what you've been led to believe! True story. Beyond the veil is an infinite world of loving support from energies that are much higher vibration than us. They're purpose is to help guide us through our human experience as we endeavor to learn our soul lessons. You may not realize this but at any given point in our lives, we have 3-5 guides on the spirit side that work with us in different aspects of our daily lives for growing and learning. These beings are on a journey of their own to learn at higher levels through guiding those in physical bodies. It's a connection and obligation born of pure love, and our success in learning and growing is also their success. 

In this episode, Meo and Shannon talk about the ins and outs of spirit guides and their roles in our spiritual evolution. They discuss how to work with them, how to build a language with them that you can understand and how to be patient and listen, and how to begin to discern what comes through. They also discuss the full spectrum of energies that DO exist (some of it is dark and heavy in nature, and can cause a bit of trouble -- it is what it is), and how to set your intentions to only connect with beings of the highest light and vibration. 

Your guides are here to help you on your journey. It's their honor to do so. And they are a source of infinite wisdom and love. So, let's get to it! And keep in mind...it most certainly won't look the way that you think/feel it should! So, remain open to how it all unfolds.

"Will someone just tell me what to do, please? Tell me which way to go. Tell me what my future will be!" Sound familiar? Or maybe you've felt this before in your own journey? Totally normal, btw. This reaction is all too common when people are deep in a search for answers about their personal journey, especially when they feel lost or directionless, or in the face of big changes. In some of this searching, we may seek out the advice of others to point us in the "right" direction, anyone from loved ones to gifted healers, intuitives, and/or psychics. All well and good, as long as you use the information for context and understanding of the infinite possibilities based on choice versus seeing and attaching to that insight as the absolute truth and only outcome. Just because a psychic says something will happen to your or turn out a certain way doesn't mean that it always will or that you have to see that as your destiny written in stone.

Shannon and Meo talk about the tendency we have as humans to give away our power and autonomy to others in our search for reassurance or insight on a clear way forward for ourselves, and why giving our power away isn't the healthiest thing for us as we make choices and chart our way forward. They discuss how to become fully aware of your motivations for seeking insight and how use the information in responsible way in your evolution for your best and highest good. They also discuss the importance of listening deeply to your own intuitive and learning to trust it imperatively to help guide you into your next steps. All for your unfolding and expansion!

Seems more and more children these days are displaying enhanced sensitivity to the energy around them, including having incredible empathic and psychic abilities. Children tend to see people and the world around them through a much more pure, less filtered lens -- seeing the world as it truly is and responds instinctively as a result of what they see and sense. Both having sensitive and psychic littles, Meo and Shannon talk about what it's like to raise their children in ways that help them nurture their unique sensitivities and extra sensory perception gifts. They talk about some easy games to play with children to help them understand and refine their own gifts. They discuss the crazy coolness of it all, and all the challenges that come with this endeavor, especially the importance of holding space for them and truly listening to them as they speak their truth about their experiences (without invalidating them because it's not the same as your experience).

More than just pretty stones and glittery gems? Hell yes they are! Meo and Shannon introduce listeners to the history and evolution of using stones and crystals for healing and well-being, and discuss how something so physical can have a variety of metaphysical properties that assist with energetic balancing and restoration. How does it all work? How do you use them? What are the possibilities (endless, btw). They talk about it all, including their favorite stones and crystals to work with personally, and offer the best go-to stones to have as you begin your very own collection.

Did you realize that the animals around you can deliver important messages to you? Or better yet, pass along their uniquely characteristic energies to help you along in your own journey? The Universe speaks through infinite channels to get our attention and wake us up to our journey, and the sudden, unexpected presence of animals in our lives (think, "wow...that deer came out of nowhere" or "that hummingbird flew right past my ear!") are often revealed to be significant messages for us at that point in our life. Whether they are real life, unique and vivid encounters, or they animals make themselves known in dreaming, these aren't just chance encounters or coincidences. Rather, it's an opportunity to discover what wisdom or medicine they are trying to bring to you on behalf of the Universe. (Psst...the symbolism, messages, and wisdom are usually wildly relevant to your current situation).

Meo and Shannon talk about the history of animals as companions and messengers to humans, and break down the differences between spirit animals and power animals (think of differing levels of occurrence, intensity, and longevity in your life). They talk about the ways to interpret the messages and what resources are available for this, as well as how to maximize the integration of wisdom these messengers of the Universe bring to us. There's a whole world of communication to discover through animal messengers! Have fun!

Spirit animal book resources:

There are also a number of internet resources that provide detailed information on the spiritual meaning and messages of animals of all kinds, including how to connect and work with spirit and power animals.

You can resist it or allow it, but either way that wave of Divine energy is going to wash over and take you on a ride. 

We start off with a helpful guided meditation to help you visualize letting go of the things you're holding onto and trying to control in your life. Find a quiet space and get into this practice as often as you can you surrender to the best and highest good in your life. What have you got to lose?

Yeah, you know you've felt it before...that pull you feel in your bones, your cells, your very soul. But you just don't quite understand what's calling you or why? You don't have a tangible thing that fills the longing, and you don't know where to begin searching...yet you still feel the pull that there's got to be something more. At some point in our journeys, we inevitably wonder "what am I meant to be doing with my life? Why am I here? What am I meant to bring to this world? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?" It's normal in this human experience to have these questions. As we evolve and gain experiences in life, we very naturally begin to wonder what it is that we've come here to do and what we are meant to contribute to the world. It's also very natural to want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, something meaningful, and ultimately the work or passion that deeply fulfills us. In this episode, Shannon and Meo talk about the process of discovering your life purpose and finding those passions, that work, those people that help to bring the pieces of your purpose into clear view! They begin with a brief, but beautiful meditation for clearing any blockages or limiting beliefs around finding personal passion and purpose, and continue the discussion of soul's purpose, how to follow a path to discovering it, learning to listen to the nudges from the Universe and your intuition, and why no one else can tell you what you're meant to do in this life (because it's not their business, it's YOUR journey)! These ladies give some step by step advice on how to begin this journey of discovery and the tools that can assist you along the way!

A very candid discussion about the phenomenon of past lives and the journeys our souls undertake over numerous iterations, all the for the sake of learning and growing, and then helping others to do the same. What are past lives? How is this even possible? Is there evidence of this? How do you learn about your own past life experiences? How do you use those experiences and information for your current life, and is that even important to do so? Recalling past life experiences can be exciting, interesting, overwhelming, and everything in between. Meo and Shannon discuss some of their own personal experiences with recall and how it has helped them in their current journeys, and how this is just another piece of the bigger puzzle of who we are as souls and what we're trying to accomplish on our greatest journey of soul growth across many lifetimes. 

Some amazing resources for learning more about past life phenomenon and experiences include: Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss, Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, Five Lives Remembered by Delores Cannon (really most books by her encompasses past life experiences), and many more!

Ever hear people say things like "only love and light" or "positive vibes only"? We can certainly try to be all "love and light" all the time, but it would require us to deny an essential part of who we are that is the opposite of this. Let's face it, we are both light and dark; there cannot be one without the other. Our Shadow is equally important to us as is our light! First termed by Carl Jung, our shadow is the unconscious and disowned parts of our personalities that the ego fails to see, acknowledge, and accept. It's any aspect that we haven't yet brought to conscious awareness for understanding, learning, healing, and growing. It is part of what makes us who we are, and we carry it in our soul fabric, meaning...we've traversed many lives with sets of challenges as shadows all in the name of discovering, working through them, and growing from them. 

In this episode, Meo and Shannon dive deep into the discussion of shadow work. What is shadow work? Why is it important for our self-discovery, healing, and growth? How do you go about doing it? What does shadow work entail? We're talking ALL of the good stuff here. They even discuss how the process is not easy; in fact, it's hard as f*ck. But doing this deep, self-healing inner work, and loving the f*ck out of ourselves as we do, carries immense benefits.

In this episode, Meo breaks down the basics of an astrological birth chart, including the houses, what they represent, how it's all a journey for us from birth to death, and what each of the planets represent when they show up in the houses of your chart. Join us for a casual tour through the magic of the zodiac and the energies of the planets that all work together to create the blueprint of YOU in this life. Meo uses several friends' charts (including Shannon's eeek) to give examples of how the planetary placements in the houses and alignments with each other create fascinatingly accurate descriptions of personality, interests, and life experiences.

Easy astrology apps to use include: Co-Star Astrology, Astro Futures, and Time Passages. To access a free natal birth chart, check out cafeastrology.com and use the "Free Reports and Calculations" feature. You'll need your birthdate, birth time to the minute, and location of birth for an accurate birth report. This is a great place to start understanding your astrological blueprint, but keep in mind, it's just a framework to start from. Since it's computer generated, there will be some contradictions that occur - it's always a more thorough and accurate experience to have a trained astrologist run and interpret your chart for you! Make sure you find one that you connect with and let the magic unfold!

In honor of Valentine's Day, Meo and Shannon wade into the deep waters of...wait for it...soulmates. Yes, soulmates. Now these ladies definitely don't have all the answers, but they are attuned to the soul connection energy (hey, we all are if we just slow down and listen), they have done some research on it, talk to each other endlessly about this sh*t, and have personal and client experiences that help to provide clues to how this all works. Settle in for an introduction to what soulmates are, how do you know if someone is a soulmate, why we even have them (it's not just rainbows and puppies romance, it's actually for deep, intense growth...lol), and what you may need to keep in mind if you want to track yours down and get on with the nookie! Have fun and be sure to let them know what your take is on soulmates!

Meo and Shannon continue the discussion on ways to spark and stretch your intuition, this time using a random image generator paired with focused intention on a specific question or topic. Meo discusses how she frequently uses this technique in readings for clients with remarkable accuracy. Similar to using oracle cards and shuffling a deck until a random card is drawn, the process of having a computer generate an image from a bank of thousands of stock photos should work just as well, right? Meo and Shannon wanted to test out this theory and record the process to share. (Recording date was August 9th). Covering topics such as messages from their higher selves (which could be immediately validated), the energy behind the Covid-19 pandemic, predictions for the remaining months of 2020, and the current energy of the divine feminine and divine masculine, Meo and Shannon were just as curious as you all to find out what the Universe had to say through images. All of the results were very interesting, and some of them were nothing short of mind-blowing! Seriously, you'll want to listen to the Covid-19 part at the very least! As always, when using a tool like this for divination work or intuitive guidance, it's crucial to have a clear question in mind or focused intention.

COVID-19, Corona, "the Virus"... it goes by many names these days, none of which we speak lovingly with rainbows and butterflies coming from our lips! Pandemics...they stick around for a while and this situation is here for the foreseeable future. So how do we cope with or adapt to the energies of our circumstances when it all feels so overwhelming and looks chaotic AF on the outside? Even further, could we go as far as to embrace the world situation as a catalyst for our own individual spiritual evolution, and maybe a humongous leap for humanity toward collective awakening of compassion and leveling up? Meo and Shannon discuss their personal perspectives and experiences of navigating these wild times as highly sensitive empaths, as well as what they both have been doing to process all the intensity and fear that hangs heavy around the world. Because let's be honest...everyone is feeling the energy of this global situation in one way or another, some much more intensely than others. And people around the world are facing tragic personal scenarios. Meo and Shannon dip into the possibility that all of this happening right now is part of a bigger plan to catalyze growth and the collective soul level, and how what we see others going through and what we experience in the midst of this worldwide pandemic gives us an opportunity to crack our hearts open wide and consider how we each get to reorient ourselves to a life path full of purpose, passion, and potential to create a better, more vibrant world. Highlighted are ways to engage self-care that is supportive and nurturing during such intense times. As always, take what resonates with you, leave the rest.

Anything you wanted to know (well, a lot of stuff anyway) about how to use oracle and tarot cards to develop your intuition! Shannon and Meo explain what oracle and tarot cards are, their purpose, and how you can use them as an amazing tool for knowing yourself better, listening more deeply to your inner guidance, and validating your gut instincts (intuition). "Wait, I thought tarot was evil or some shit?" The soul sisters talk candidly about common misconceptions regarding card decks (especially tarot), and how your intention for using them (as with anything in your life) sets the stage and energetic boundaries for beautiful, soulful, high vibration exploration of your inner landscape and communication with your Higher Self, your guides, and the Universe. Plain and simple, they are a fantastic, fun tool for growing your own soul and learning how to read the energy of situations and others, and most important...validating your own intuitive hits on these things! Shannon describes the very simple process of finding a deck that vibes with you and how to begin practicing with it, some of the challenges and myths associated with using (there's no wrong way to use them) and caring for them, but mostly all the fun that goes along with incorporating them into your daily practice of knowing yourself as Spirit in human form. Head on over to the Souls and Stardust Podcast Instagram page (and/or our Souls and Startdust Podcast Facebook private group) to learn more about oracle and tarot decks, ask questions, and to find out about our favorite decks to use for divining wisdom from the Universe!

Shannon and Meo start off Season 2 by revisiting their Dear Universe intention challenge and digging into the concept of why it matters to be deliberate with your thoughts and feelings when trying to see your path forward clearly and manifest the life you dream of. In this episode, Meo describes her experience with writing her "Dear Universe" letter and how things unfolded with synchronicity after putting hand on heart and pen to paper to create her order with the Universe. They discuss how, when you become fixated on a certain outcome (or how YOU think things need to look rather than letting the Universe work it's magic), or obsessing about what you still don't have (impatience and getting caught in the lack mindset), we can actually work against our own process of magnetizing to us what we dream of. Creating magic takes deliberate intention and a whole lot of surrender to what will unfold...always for your best and highest good. "Universe, bring me this or something better, please. I'm so ready! Show me the magic."

We're back after a hot minute away to catch up on our human life stuff. In this episode, Meo and Shannon discuss vibration and frequency - and why it's important to understand where "you're vibe-ing" so you can work on getting into the higher frequencies more often and consistently. We are energetic beings first and foremost, and all of what we think and feel carries a specific vibration. The more we can hang out in the higher vibrations, the easier it is to do life in general, to heal our shadows, to find contentment, to find your soul tribe, and to manifest your dreams. Plus, it just feels good to vibe high. What are the ways we can raise our vibration? How do they work? This episode details a number of activities you can take to start feeling better today!

So what do you do when you don’t know what to do? How do you move forward when you feel stuck AF in life? When you feel lost and without direction, how do you begin to find your way? Shannon talks about her process of putting in your order with the Universe to show the way. Different than manifesting, writing a letter to the Universe is the ultimate act of surrender to faith and trust in a higher source, and to being shown the next steps in your Divine soul journey for this life! Trust us, it’s big shit! Get a pen and paper and start that letter. Join us in the Souls and Stardust Podcast Facebook group to share stories on how it has worked for you.

Do you often feel overwhelmed in crowds of people? Are you easily overstimulated from busy, loud, or chaotic environments? Do you have moments where you feel intense emotions out of nowhere with no explanation? You might just be a super-senser and/or an empath! Meo and Shannon discuss empathy, and the characteristics of highly sensitive people and empaths (or super-feelers), and why it happens. Being sensitive to the world around you doesn't have to be a burden! These SiStars talk about the gifts that come from being extra tuned into people, places, and situations, and round out the conversation with tips for managing your super-sensing energy, discerning what is yours versus what belongs to another, and avoiding absorbing all the stuff that doesn't belong to you. Empath Resources: The Empath's Survival Guide - by Judith Orloff; Dodging Energy Vampires - by Christiane Northrup
