Ep 8: The Soul Expanded is now Spiritually Curious - Life update: Navigating seasons of change

Ep 8: The Soul Expanded is now Spiritually Curious - Life update: Navigating seasons of change

The Soul Expanded is now Spiritually Curious!

Who’s ready to go on a journey of a lifetime with me?!  My vision is to create a sacred container where you can come to find support, community, resources, and tools to help you navigate your spiritual journey and live your soul’s purpose.  

I started this podcast because I remember how overwhelmed, confused, and lost I felt during the early parts of my spiritual awakening journey. All I wanted was to find guidance, direction, and different tools to navigate, what felt like the unknown. If that’s where you are right now, I get it and I want you to feel supported through the process.  

Together, we will deep dive into topics like navigating your spiritual awakening, trust and surrender, the multidimensionality of our spiritual being, and merging your spiritual practices with your daily life.  

I’ll also be chatting with fellow seekers about how their spiritual curiosity led them to awaken their soul’s truth and purpose. From rock bottoms to breakthroughs, this podcast will explore how to navigate the highs, the lows, and the in-between of a spiritually curious lifestyle.

Ep 7: The Great Awakening & Revolution: Change starts within and supporting the shifts with our unique soul calling

Ep 7: The Great Awakening & Revolution: Change starts within and supporting the shifts with our unique soul calling

This episode covers my experience navigating The Great Awakening and The Revolution and how we as souls being alive at this time can contribute to the much-needed changes in our world right now.
The Great Awakening being the pandemic and Mama Earth letting us know we cannot continue to operate as we have been and The Revolution being the overhaul and dismantling of our systems of oppression in this country sparked by the unacceptable and tragic murders of George Floyd and countless others in the black community.
Each of us has a unique perspective based on our background and how we present to the world. These reflections are founded in my presentation as a white woman living in the systems of the United States. True and lasting change in the world must first start within and we need to take a look at our own shadows and do our own soul healing. We then have the opportunity to modify or integrate behaviors and take action to support the movements of our world uprising to new levels of love by contributing our unique soul gifts and calling.
Two books I am reading right now to support these shifts:

Ep. 5: Pain & fear as teachers, navigating through to live out our calling ft. Ashleah Walker

Ep. 5: Pain & fear as teachers, navigating through to live out our calling ft. Ashleah Walker

How can we use pain and fear as teachers⁣ on our soul expanding journey?

Join us for this week's episode as Ashleah Walker and I talk about "pain as a touchstone for spiritual growth". ⁣

Ashleah shares with us how she has boldly walked through fear and pain throughout her life to live out her divine calling, into a place of wholeness and joy.⁣

Ashleah has worked as a hair artist for 13 years, in Washington DC. As a natural intuitive, and one of the best at her craft, she always easily tapped into her clients’ wishes for their dream hair style. ⁣

In 2017, her passion for doing hair started to fade as she felt drained – because as a highly empathic person, she easily absorbed too much from others. She started learning about and practicing energy healing work for her own personal well-being. Soon, she realized it was a great way to help clients as well. Ashleah then had that aha moment that hits every entrepreneur. ⁣

By merging energy work with hair artistry, her enthusiasm for her craft was once again awakened – in a new way. She saw the connection between energy work and beauty, and that’s when she created Ceremony.
