Inner Work 271: Healing Attachment Wounds in the Akashic Records

The Akashic Records are a direct line to Divine Source and a powerful field of healing, light, and unconditional Love. Unlike our human relationships, the Records are unlimited, free of ego, free of personal agendas or attachments... and they love each of us unconditionally. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore the key differences between human relationships (which tend to be conditional, limited, or based on meeting certain demands or expectations) versus the eternally loving, supportive, healing relationship you can develop with the Akashic Records. I also share some client experiences related to healing attachment wounds in the Records, due to the Records' expansive and unconditional nature. Key points we'll cover: major differences between human relationships versus the relationship you can develop with the Akashic Records how the Akashic Records (and Record Keepers) see you how the Records can help you heal & soften attachment wounds the heart-opening power & unconditional love of the Akashic Records what can happen initially as you work with the Records (including specific forms of resistance, frustration, disappointment, or ego interference - which, paradoxically, may replicate old relationship patterns) seeing the Record Keepers as benevolent Divine parents You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aOM6ztV7RuA Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 270: Akashic Records and Tarot Forecast - April 2026

Welcome to your Akashic Records Forecast for April 2026! We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month. The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work. For our April energy forecast, I did just this - combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities. Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and then pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts: What's going on at the collective level in April 2026? What's going on at the personal level (i.e., your personal energy field) in April 2026? What are you being asked to release this month? What's your Soul asking you to focus on this month?

Inner Work 269: The Healer Archetype (4 tell-tale signs you're a healer or lightworker)

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll cover 4 tell-tale signs that you're here to embody the healer or lightworker archetype as one of your Divine missions in this lifetime. Self-doubt is one of the greatest blocks (and inner threats) we face as healers and lightworkers, because it holds us back from fully trusting ourselves and stepping into our gifts NOW. If you've been doubting your intuitive or healing gifts, this episode will support you in remembering the Truth of who you really are & why you're really here... to raise consciousness on this planet and lead the way for others with your light. Please join me! Your empathy, deep presence, and unique gifts are much needed in the world today. Thank you for being here and for doing your heart-centered, consciousness-expanding, inner work.

Join me for this profound experience where you'll receive quantum healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source). Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation: make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible) please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less) get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : ) Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 265: Dismantling Harmful Power Dynamics in Akashic Record Readings (and Healing Work Overall)

Often unknowingly, many Akashic Record readers and practitioners are breaking ethical guidelines and perpetuating harmful power dynamics in the reader-client relationship. This is not only harmful to the people we're here to serve, but also prevents readers and healers from doing the highest-level, transformative, impactful work they're really here to do. Let's change this! I believe strongly in RAISING the standards of ethics and professionalism in our spiritual and healing communities, so we can do better both for ourselves and for our clients. Join me for this discussion on: dismantling old, harmful power dynamics between reader and client reclaiming your power and inner knowing, even when working with a healer honoring the healers, readers, and lightworkers who ARE putting in the ongoing work to be the best, most effective, most ethical practitioners they can be (and who truly care!) 4 specific ethical guidelines that Akashic Record readers will (often unknowingly) break, and what to do instead how we can do better as practitioners, both for our clients and for ourselves You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EEKNMdNK0hQ Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Inner Work 263: 3 Mindset Shifts to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Do you struggle with imposter syndrome? This syndrome has been defined as a "persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately earned as a result of one's own efforts, talents, skills, or gifts." I would also describe imposter syndrome as an ongoing feeling or belief that you're inadequate, not worthy, not good enough, and/or a "fraud" who's about to be find out. Living with this kind of belief or negative undercurrent in your life can be painful. It can be paralyzing. It can keep you hidden away and playing small to avoid potential rejection, criticism, or judgment. It also keeps you on edge, hypervigilant, anxious about how others are evaluating your performance or presence in the world... or evaluating your very worth and value as a person. I can relate, because I struggled with imposter syndrome most of my adult life. It first reared its ugly head during my academic career many years ago, and stayed with me as I transitioned out of academia to do full-time spiritual work. (Building a business from scratch - with NO business training or skills whatsoever! - and stepping out of the "spiritual closet" to do this work were not easy... I made many mistakes... which only fueled the already-existing imposter syndrome.) Through a lot of inner work, especially in the Akashic Records, I've been able to shift my relationship to imposter syndrome to a degree where it no longer holds me back. It doesn't derail or prevent me from doing my work in the world, or showing up online, or teaching, or being vulnerable with others. And, just as important, it no longer keeps me from ENJOYING my work fully! Based on my own struggles and what I've found helps, I want to offer you 3 powerful mindset reframes in this episode of INNER WORK that will hopefully support you in moving beyond imposter syndrome as well. Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.
