Ep 7878: Finding Your Process: Creativity & Decisions

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 This week, I was inspired to talk about how I have discovered the similarities between my creative and decision making processes. I was going to talk about how I am developing my energy healing process as well, but I guess it wasn't time yet. Maybe something new is coming! Over the past year, I have been transitioning out of survival mode and connecting back to my body. This has revealed how I feel in my body when a decision or idea lights me up! I also talk about how there is a "fermentation" process that happens when I am first considering a change or creative project. I would love to hear what your processes are like and connect with you in one of my upcoming workshops!

Ep 7575: Spirit Crumbs & Coming Full Circle

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘀 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 In this episode, I shared some spirit crumbs that have come up recently that were tangible and really helped to validate the direction I've been wanting to go! I have been wanting to focus more on my healing work and art and the movie PS I Love You brought some important messages! My guides often send me more tangible spirit crumbs when changes and breakthroughs are close, so I am really excited to see what comes during Pisces and Aries season. I also shared about how plants have been coming back to me full circle! I wasn't entirely sure where I was going to go with this episode but that is where I went. I was thinking about sharing how the book 𝘈 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 came to me through spirit crumbs and fits into this full circle energy! However, I will share about that in another episode :) Something that has been coming to me in layers is my Follow Your Spirit Crumbs program. I will be facilitating a 6 week course where we will follow through on the spirit crumb process from intention to action! Follow Your Spirit Crumbs Waitlist 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁!

Ep 7474: Self Trust & New Earth Paradigms with Amanda Monnier

Today's guest, Amanda Monnier, is passionate about a lot of the same things that I am! We talked a lot about how the universe is supportive when we act on our intuition and step into alignment.

Amanda shares some personal experiences about taking back her power in relationships and how she began her awakening journey. We both have similar beliefs around using dark nights of the soul (or tower moments/rock bottoms) to quantum leap forward through learning lessons and growing into a more conscious version of ourselves.

We talked all about how you can start to connect with your spirit team (guides, angels, ancestors and more!) and learn to trust your own intuition. Kelly is passionate about helping her clients on this path and we had a great conversation about how each of us receive messages, signs and guidance from our spirit teams!

Ep 7272: Nostalgia & Falling Back in Love with Yourself

𝗡𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗶𝗮 & 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 I have been thinking about past versions of myself. Moments in time when I was full of joy. Connected to my feminine energy. A confident leader. I realized that these are all of the qualities I've been trying to hard to embody recently but I already have them. Watching the Superbowl Halftime Show, I found myself so nostalgic and even crying. I was brought back to previous versions of myself and something reawakened! Music is so powerful and I feel like I need more of it in my life. I was suddenly seeing my life as a series of cassettes, CDs and playlists. Sometimes, I think we need to go back to the honeymoon stages in our lives - childhood, our twenties - when we had so few worries and hang-ups. Who were you? What made you light up? What did you love to do? Bring that spark back to your relationship with yourself! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵? Let's connect!

Ep 7171: Spirit Crumbs from Nature

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 I've been receiving messages to connect more with nature for awhile. In the past couple of weeks, I have been tapping into my intuition and doing some research on some of the plants that have come into my awareness. Just like books, I choose my plants intuitively. Only recently did I think to look up the symbolism of the houseplants in my apartment. Since the Animals as Spirit Crumbs episode was so popular, I thought it would be fun to share what I learned about my connection to nature and plants. Even in readings, I have received messages about grounding, spending time in nature and fairies! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

Ep 7070: New Moon in Aquarius Reading

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 This episode is a short reading for the energy of the new moon, the 2/2 manifestation portal and Imbolc. We are halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox as we enter this time of manifestation and transformation! The first messages reminded us to be honest with ourselves about our desires and the old patterns and stories that may be preventing us from moving forward. We need to think about whether we've been putting on a mask and covering up our true goals with humour/sarcasm or other coping mechanisms. Do you remember who you are and what you want beneath all of that extra weight? This is a beautiful time for creation and co-creation as new opportunities and partnerships are on the horizon. Once you are honest with what you desire to manifest, look out for spirit crumbs to guide you towards success! You are building a new foundation without the old stories and identities that you've held onto for too long. Allow the energy of transformation to help you realign for your highest good!

Ep 6868: Full Moon in Cancer: Inner Child & Creative Environments

𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿: 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 & 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 I was born on a full moon in Cancer on a Monday, so I have been anticipating an intense transformation with this transit. This weekend, I committed to resting and doing feminine activities. NO work! I had a reiki session and attended a guided intuitive movement class scheduled for Sunday and other than that, nothing else planned. Inner child work has been coming up and was very prominent. I was brought back to the creative and sensitive little girl who loved to dance and draw and write. I ended up purchasing an online watercolour course that I started on Saturday. Having a guided experience to engage with and play was so invigorating! I remembered that my Human Design environment is kitchens - places of alchemy like an art or dance studio. I love the creative process! I love being in that flow! I love helping others find their flow. This helped me realize why I am so drawn to helping others through their transformation to birth their own creative expressions.

Ep 6767: Throat Chakra Card Pull: Stagnation & Spirit Crumbs

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘀 This week, my energy wasn't aligning with any of the episodes I had on my list. Right when I was about to skip this week, I had an inspiration to pull a few cards. The cards were so aligned and reminded me that I had planned on talking about my new offering, the 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞. This event is on 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 31𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘵 7𝘱𝘮 𝘌𝘋𝘛/4𝘱𝘮 𝘗𝘚𝘛. I will open the event by pulling a few cards and then do an energy healing session where participants will be invited to choose their experience by either meditating, journaling, dancing, singing - whatever feels good! During the remainder of the session, you can journal, stay in the energy or share with the group. We will hold space and sit in the beautiful collective energy and then I will close out the group.

The cards I pulled were all about stagnation and receiving the signs and spirit crumbs that are leading you out of it! The third house in astrology was pulled and brought in themes of communication and our early childhood experiences. It is a reminder that some inner child healing around using your voice may be necessary. I nudged myself out of my comfort zone to share my new offering and asked if you could rate and review this podcast. I would really appreciate it! Also, if you haven't already, share which episode has been your favourite to help me plan out my special 1 year anniversary episode for Spirit Crumbs!

𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 Today is my 34th birthday and because it's on a Tuesday, I decided to do a reflection & forecast episode this week. As a birthday gift, I would really appreciate some reviews for Spirit Crumbs where you listen. I would also love to hear what your favourite episodes or takeaways are from Spirit Crumbs for my 1 year anniversary episode later this month! 33 was an incredible year with a pretty equal balance of light and shadow. I experienced a lot of loss but what I gained is more than I could have imagined. Reflecting on where I am now really filled me with gratitude. I am living a lot of what I wished for last year: time freedom, self employment, spiritual work, soul family. My words for 2022 are harmony, build and connection. Harmony has come up a lot and my goal is to balance building my practice with making time for meaningful connection. Since my birthday is pretty much aligned with the new year, I decided to share my personal 2022 forecast tarot spread for 2022 with you. I used the Light Seers Tarot deck. Let me know if the 2022 forecast resonates with you! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮?

Ep 6464: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Faith (Week 12)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭𝟮 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩 Week 12 is about trust, mystery, imagination at play and escape velocity. This ended up being a very emotional episode for me which I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t even record the tasks, but I think the reflections that came up are enough to offer some things to journal about and take action on. Trusting is the first section of this week. We need to be able to surrender to the universe if we want to invite creativity into our lives. We try so hard to hold on to control and that only closes us off to new possibilities. The next topic, mystery, tells us that we need to be okay with the dark and silent times when we are waiting for the spark of light to emerge. Without the darkness, we wouldn’t be able to experience the light turning on. Again, we return to the topic of play in this chapter. Julia Cameron reminds us that creating without any financial or productivity benefit is essential for a joyful life. We don’t give enough credit to the importance and creativity hiding in our hobbies and entertainment interests. The last section, escape velocity, talks about the self sabotage that occurs right before we are about to take off. It’s compared to when a partner can sense when you are about to leave them. Your ego can sense when you are about to escape your comfort zone. Thank you for coming along on this journey with me. It has been very healing for me to move through these lessons again with a new level of perspective. As I mentioned in the episode, please let me know what your favourite episode is by sharing, commenting, emailing or DMing me! I’ll be creating a special anniversary episode and I would LOVE your feedback! 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵'𝘴 𝘞𝘢𝘺?

Ep 6363: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Autonomy (Week 11)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭𝟭 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 This episode is about week 11/12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. Week 11 is about acceptance, success, movement and ritual. I really enjoy the section on acceptance because it has a really genuine reflection of self-acceptance. Being honest about who we are opens the door to realizing who we are as an artist. I am messy and clean up in fast bursts when I have time to relax. I’ve always been like this and it’s exactly who I am as an artist! Piles and materials everywhere until I am ready to move onto something else and I miraculously clean up a month’s worth of messes in an hour. Self-respect can also be increased from just showing up and doing the work. The more we create and stick to our commitments, the more we feel like an artist and a person we can respect. This makes us more likely to take on bigger projects and less likely to be swayed by external judgements or criticism. This connects to the discussion on success because she says that we really cannot measure success by the market value of our work. There is no guarantee as an artist, so success must be from within, by creating work that moves through us from inspiration. At least if a particular piece doesn’t bring in the dollar amount we had in mind, we can feel like we made something to be proud of no matter what. If we create based on what is selling and the financial return doesn’t reflect our expectations, we won’t feel that it was successful at all. The section on exercise and movement as meditation really resonates with me. I go for regular walks and receive downloads by pacing in my apartment, showering or doing the dishes. Allowing energy to move through us is a spiritual practice that improves our clarity and openness to inspiration and downloads. It also keeps us grounded in our bodies which reminds us to pay attention to our human self. Balance is something that has come up a lot in messages for me, so my walking practice has really helped! Having a space in your home that is an artist altar can remind you who your inner artist is and make rituals more prominent in your life. I know that I feel like my whole life is connected because I prioritize movement and ritual. The tasks for Week 1𝟭 were: Voice record yourself reading the basic principles from this book, or any passage that inspires you. Write out the Artist’s Prayer or a favourite passage by hand. Buy a creativity notebook. Label pages 1-7 health, possessions, leisure, relationships, creativity, career, spirituality and write 10 wishes for each! Review your Honest Changes section from Week 4 and assess how far you’ve come. List 5 ways you’ll change as you continue. List 5 ways you will nurture yourself in the next 6 months (courses, supplies, vacations) Plan one loving action or nurturing activity for each of the next 7 days! Write and MAIL an encouraging letter to your inner artist. Re-examine your God/Source concept. Does your current belief limit or support your creative expansion? Are you open to changing your beliefs? List 10 synchronicities that support the possibility of a nurturing creator. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨!

Ep 6262: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection (Week 10)

Week 10 is all about identifying what addictions we use to block our creativity and growth. This can be food, alcohol, drugs, sex, work or anything else that you use to protect yourself from the discomfort in the possibility of success and creative action. We all have one particular vice that we would have a hard time giving up. For me, as a Capricorn and overachiever, it's definitely workaholism which is discussed in the episode. When we remove the blocks, we have to look at our real emotions and fears that are hiding in the shadows. Our ego tries to protect us from the unknown by making our blocks more comfortable and familiar than growth. We have to learn that sitting with the emotions and choosing to find the joy in creating are ways that we can make ourselves feel safe in the process. Even when there aren't any ideas coming, we can still come back to our morning pages and express the feelings that are coming up. Your artistic work is the most important part of the process. This is important to remember when we are tempted by comparison, competition and fame. Social media makes it difficult to focus on what makes us unique but we need to remember that what others do can serve as inspiration to show us possibilities! The tasks for Week 10 were: 1. The Deadlies: On 7 strips of paper, write: sex, money, alcohol, drugs, work, food, family/friends. Draw a paper 7 times and write 5 negative impacts that subject has had. Put the strip back in each time, making it possible to need to go deeper into some topics. 2. Touchstones: Make a list of things that are comforting to you such as baked bread, smooth stones, chipmunks, coffee etc. 3. The Awful Truth: Answer the following questions honestly: - What habit gets in the way of your creativity? - What do you think might be a problem? How will you solve it? - What is your payoff? - What friends make you doubt yourself? - What friends believe in you and your talent? - What is the payoff for spending time with destructive friends? - What do you have in common with the destructive and constructive friends? 4. Setting Bottom Line: For workaholism, create self boundaries around what you determine to be "overwork" when looking at your schedule. 5. Cherishing: List 5 small victories; 3 nurturing actions for your inner artist; make 3 nice promises to yourself and keep them; do one lovely thing for yourself each day this week!

Ep 6161: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Compassion (Week 9)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟵 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 This episode is about week 9/12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was creating my manifestation list! I started this episode by reading the Foreword from Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. She describes how this book about creativity, spirituality and authenticity showed up as she wrote every day to find her Real Life. This is sooo aligned with The Artist's Way and I couldn't believe that a Spirit Crumb brought me to finally take that book off the shelf for the first time since I got it! Week 9 is all about finding compassion for ourselves in the process of recovering our creativity. Taking away the rigidity and disappointment in ourselves that comes along with creativity can help us to see that failure and self sabotage are part of the process. Through fear, enthusiasm and Creative U-turns (self sabotage), we talk about how to reframe some beliefs that may be contributing to negative self talk and the inability to start. An Exercise By looking at our fears and past creative u-turns, we can identify what patterns are showing up and keeping us blocked in a new project! - What fear (resistance) is coming up? - What resentment (anger) is surfacing? - What do you gain from not doing this project? - Write your agreement with the Universe: You take care of the quality, I'll take care of the quantity" I would love for you to share on the podcast your experiences with this series and how creativity and spirituality have been shifting your life and perspective. Reach out if you'd like to be featured in an episode! The tasks for Week 9 were: 1. Read your morning pages. What have you been complaining about? What insights are helpful? Feel proud that you've done the work and don't judge what is on the page. 2. Visualizing. Put yourself in the present tense with your dream or goal. Read it out loud. Put photos of yourself in your dream collage to make it feel more accessible. 3. Creative Goals. List your creative goals for the year, month and week. 4. Creative U-turns. List any you can remember from the past and focus on the one you're still kicking yourself for! Forgive yourself and consider if any of them can be completed or taken in a different direction. 5. Artist Symbol: Choose something you have a fondness for - stuffed animal, figurine - and give it a place of honour where you can see it. When you are being hard on yourself, look at it and talk to yourself like you would talk to that sweet object. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨!

Ep 6060: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Strength (Week 8)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 This episode is about week 8/12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was playing on Affinity Designer to try digital drawing with a stylus on my laptop! Week 8 is my favourite of the chapters and thus, probably the longest episode. The main themes in this chapter survival, criticism, turning losses into gains, time, process and taking action. I truly believe that the strength I've built is from turning criticism into improvements and from turning hard times into opportunities to learn about my own resiliency. I am also pretty good at taking action towards the goals I have and following the spirit crumbs of course! Strength can also come from sharing our losses and failures vulnerably and connecting with others. That is something I've focused on in the past year and has really shifted my perspective as my life has completely come apart and back together. Time will pass whether we take the steps to make our lives what we want them to be or not. One year from today, I will be an even better version of myself living in alignment with beliefs I'm not even aware of yet! I would love for you to share on the podcast your experiences with this series and how creativity and spirituality have been shifting your life and perspective.

Ep 5959: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Connection (Week 7)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟳 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 This episode is about week 7/12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was choosing a selection of beers for my family from a local brewery that I pass on my longer walks. The main themes in this chapter are listening, perfectionism, risks and jealousy. These are all aspects of connecting deeper to our dreams and desires. By listening to our inner voice, we can receive the ideas and inspirations we need and allow them to move through us. Perfectionism is a loop that prevents us from moving forward and taking risks that could lead us to new discoveries. Our jealousy can also point us in the direction of what we would like to be doing and help us to recognize what we need to take action on. Paying close attention to the thoughts that come up from our ego can really guide our creative healing. The tasks for Week 7 were: - Create a visual of this mantra: Treating myself like a precious object will make me strong. - Listen to one half of an album just for joy - Go to a sacred space of your choosing (library, church, nature) - Create one wonderful smell in your house - Wear your favourite item of clothing for no special reason - Create a collage with pages you rip out in 20 minutes from 10 magazines - Quickly list 5 favourite films and find the common elements or themes - Name your favourite topics to read about and see if they are in your collage - Put your collage in a place of honour 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨!

Ep 5858: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Abundance (Week 6)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟲 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 This episode is about week 6 of 12 in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was a long walk where I found a house with a community bulletin board and inspirational sayings. This chapter talks about how creativity and abundance are connected, not mutually exclusive. You can be an artist AND be abundant! The more time we have for play and creative pursuits, the more freedom we feel and abundance follows. Abundance comes in the form of time, space, love and joy as well as finances. Play is an important part of this journey. When we follow what lights us up, we will attract abundance into our lives. Start small with authentic luxuries like fresh fruit, ordering groceries and getting the softer toilet paper to feel abundant. Say yes to anything that is offered to you and practice receiving! Start keeping track of the money you spend and observe without judgement. Start with this to start examining your beliefs and habits around money. The exercises that I talked about for Week 6 are: Natural Abundance: Pick up 5 interesting rocks Image File: collect 5 flowers or leaves and consider pressing them Clearing: Find a worn out piece of clothing to get rid of Creation: Bake or cook something from scratch Clearing: Make some changes in your space Acceptance: Notice any changes to the flow of your life and start saying yes Prosperity: Any financial changes? Perspective shifts? Add to your image file if here is anything you'd spend your new abundance on. At any point in the remaining weeks, reach out if you would like to talk about your experience with this series on the podcast. I would LOVE to hear how it is impacting your life. You can remain anonymous or share what you’ve been working on - whichever you prefer :) 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨!

Ep 5757: Scorpio Shadow Work & Strategy Forecast

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 I decided to record a bonus episode this week to share some of the themes that have been coming up for me and to do another oracle card forecast. I talked mostly about shadow work (not surprising if you listened to Episode 56 right before this!) and a bit about how I navigate it. My strategy for shadow work is to identify, process, integrate and heal. I am teaching a class on this in the Initiation Circle on the New Moon in Scorpio on Thursday, November 4. I will also be creating another course that will have open registration. I've opened up some time in my calendar for healing, oracle card readings and soul blend sessions in November. I also have a limited number of spots for podcast startups and support! I hope you enjoy the oracle card forecast in this episode from the Light Seers Tarot deck. Lots of forward moving energy!

Ep 5555: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Possibility (Week 5)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟱 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 This episode is about the fifth of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was finally getting my hair cut after 3 years! (not including the maintenance trips to the barber when half of my head was shaved) This chapter begins by talking how our own limitations are what keep us from believing and experiencing the extent of what is truly possible for us. We would not be given ideas and dreams that we could not co-create with the universe. The key there is CO-creation! We still need to take action to signal to the universe that we are ready to make it happen. The universe WANTS us to use our ideas and to receive abundance! It is an act of gratitude and devotion to use the gifts and creativity that are available to you. I really resonate with the way she emphasizes going with the flow in this chapter as well. Letting go of the vision of how creativity will show up allows us to have a more fluid path to our highest expression. I thought that card reading would be the extent of my practice and energy healing is where I’ve been redirected. In terms of my business, most of my clients are actually for my audio editing which was a shower download - stay open! Consider what payoff you are getting for staying stuck, how you might be self-destructive and what you’ve been depriving yourself of until now. The exercises that I talked about for Week 5 are: 5 grievances that have prevented you from believing in a supportive God/Creator/Universe Image File: collect images of 5 desires List 5 final imaginary lives 5 adventures I would have if I were 20 and had money… (list & collect images) 5 postponed pleasures I will experience at 65 are… (list & collect images) Ten ways I am mean to myself are... Ten items I would like to own but don’t are… (list & collect images) Honestly, my favourite creative block/distraction is… Cartoon yourself doing it. My payoff for staying stuck is… (morning pages) The person I blame for being blocked is… (morning pages) There will be a break in The Artist’s Way for a special interview episode! At any point in the remaining weeks, reach out if you would like to talk about your experience with this series. I would LOVE to hear how it is impacting your life.

Ep 5454: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Integrity (Week 4)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟰 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 This episode is about the fourth of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was shared with my mom but we went to my favourite metaphysical/crystal shop in person! I hadn't been there in so long and it felt so good! This chapter begins by talking about honest changes. As we do our morning pages, we start to uncover layers of illusion that have kept us from knowing our real feelings about our lives. "Official feelings" are those that we show to others, often saying we are okay when that is not our real feeling. As we cut through that and gain clarity, it can be uncomfortable because once we know the truth, we can no longer pretend that we are okay. Whether you are feeling big waves of emotion and seeing major shifts or the changes are more subtle, trust that you can keep going. Acknowledge your progress and don't allow yourself to hide your real feelings again. The BIG challenge for this week is READING DEPRIVATION. Yes, that's right. No reading or television. Just music and your creativity. Maybe you'll get some cleaning and organizing done, finally try one of the activities from previous lists or discover a new skill! The exercises that I talked about for Week 4 are: Environment: Write 1 paragraph, find one image and note your favourite season to describe your ideal environment Time Travel: Describe yourself at 80 years old. What specific things will you enjoy after 50? Write a letter from that version of you to current you! Time Travel: What were you like at 8 years old? Write a letter from that kid to you now. Environment: Find a space in your home that will be your creative environment. Even a corner will do! Use your creativity to decorate it in a way that makes you happy! Life Pie: Review this pie from week 1 and draw out your current state in each area of life. Connect the dots and check your progress. Write your own artist prayer Extended Artist Date: a full day of fun! Get rid of one low self worth outfit Look at one area of life that you know needs to change (thanks to some clarity!) and explain what the payoff is for staying stuck. If you break your reading deprivation, explain why! How did it happen? What was the emotion behind it? How do you feel about it now? Why?

Ep 5353: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Power (Week 3)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 This episode is about the third of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was looking through a thrift store, which I hadn’t done in awhile! This chapter begins by talking about anger and how it can reveal where we need more boundaries or how we have been holding ourselves back. Synchronicity shows up as opportunities that push us to move forward and take action. It can be scary to realize that we have the freedom and power to live our dreams. Things are not just going to magically happen but there is magic in how the universe can make things happen when we commit and do the work. Shame comes up when we are building our power because it is linked to ways that our confidence was dimmed in the past. When we are shamed for not doing something well or for our dreams, it becomes part of our shadow. Being seen for our authentic self is incredibly healing and helps us to turn vulnerability into power. There is some solar plexus healing that can happen here when you realize that your inner artist reflects your inner child and needs to be nurtured. Sharing with supportive people first can help you to build your power from within before putting your inner artist on trial in front of a larger audience. You have the power to determine what you internalize from now on! Growth is not linear and we take back our power every time we choose to listen to the voice within. There is no deadline for your dreams and it’s okay to take a few steps back occasionally. Rest is important! The exercises that I talked about for Week 3 are: Describe your childhood room Describe 5 traits you had as a child that you liked List 5 childhood accomplishments List your 5 favourite childhood foods then buy one! List 3 rotten habits (obvious) and 3 undesirable habits (subtle) Make a list of 3 nurturing friends and their great characteristics Call one of those friends Inner Compass: how are you being lead? Use your morning pages or pay attention when you’re cleaning, driving etc. to see what is coming up as a warning or inspiration. List 5 People you admire and their traits you could emulate List 5 people you admire that have died and how you could find friends like them Compare the lists and determine which are qualities you “should” admire and the ones that your heart really wants you to embody! ***Check out the link in Karen’s Instagram bio at @kare.and.co to check out the readings that I mentioned*** 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨!

Ep 5252: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Identity (Week 2)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺 This episode is about the second of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. My artist date this week was spending some time playing with watercolours. I also spent some time watching some artist videos on TikTok to fill my well and get inspired! In this chapter, the focus is on exploring our self doubt and external factors that contribute to it. Instead of suppressing doubts, be curious about why you believe them and where they are coming from. It is challenging to believe that we are creative and that our creativity is a divine gift. We need to protect our inner artist and ensure that we are choosing supportive people to share with, especially at the beginning. We trust our doubts more than our dreams for the first stages of recovering our creativity. "Crazymakers" are people who create drama that distracts us from our growth. As if our own self doubt and inner skepticism wasn't already enough, these energy vampires show up to demand our attention just when things are gaining momentum. We need to strengthen our boundaries to prevent these people from giving up on our creative path. Eventually, we will trust ourselves enough to ignore them, but we may need some distance when we are still vulnerable. Staying stuck can feel safe and crazymakers want to make sure that we don't move forward so they enable our self-sabotage. Attention determines how you experience life. Even in the most difficult times, you can notice the everyday miracles. When we pay attention, we are open to new possibilities and synchronicities and we are in the present moment. "Draw a sacred circle around your recovery. Give yourself the gift of faith. Trust that you are on the right track. You are." The exercises that I talked about for Week 2 are: List your top 5 activities this week and note how much time you spent on them, if they were for someone else, and if they are wants or "shoulds" Create a safety map circle. Inside the circle, write the activities that are important to protect and the people who will support you. Outside the circle, write the crazymakers and others that should be avoided List 20 things you enjoy doing and when you last did them. This is a great resource for artist dates Select 2 things from the list as goals and take small steps toward them or spend a short amount of time on them Review your affirmations from last week and choose 2 that you have a strong reaction to. Write them 3 times each in your morning pages and explore your reaction Imaginary Lives: List 5 more lives you could lead if anything was possible. Life Pie: Draw a circle and split it into 6 pieces. Label them spirituality, exercise, play, work, friends, romance/adventure. Draw a circle in each wedge. Draw it near the center if you are less fulfilled in that area, closer to the edge if you are fulfilled. Connect the dots to see how jagged (out of balance) or circular (fulfilled) you are overall. Use a different colour every few weeks to check your progress Ten Tiny Challenges: make a list of 10 small actions you have been avoiding that would improve your quality of life and boost your trust in yourself. I finally put up some removable wallpaper I've had for a long time! Let me know how you're enjoying the series if you're following along! 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 Ready to recalibrate and do some healing?

Ep 5151: The Artist‘s Way: Recovering a Sense of Safety (Week 1)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 This episode is about the first of twelve weeks in the course and book The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. I completed my morning pages every day this week and even wrote more than three pages a couple of times. My artist date was simple - baking cookies and watching a Christmas movie - but I did it! In this chapter, there is a lot of talk about negative core beliefs. These are a result of societal and personal conditioning around creativity. You may feel like your aren't good enough to be an artist (whatever creative title you wish to hold), that you won't be successful, that you would become a burden to others or any number of beliefs that come from external sources. These become your inner "censor" that shows up to belittle you or discourage you when you try to think positively about your abilities. Like the ego, the censor is trying to keep you in your comfort zone because the unknown seems unsafe. The mean phrases that come up the most are your "blurts" and you should write these down! You can then create affirmations to counteract them. The exercises that I talked about for Week 1 are: Time Travel: List 3 people that discouraged you that should be in your Monster Hall of Fame Write about one monster story and then follow up with a letter to the editor justifying why this was hurtful and why they should be in the Monster Hall of Fame Time Travel: List 3 people who supported you that should be in your Hall of Champions Imaginary Lives: List 5 different lives you could lead if anything was possible. These could be careers you've always dreamed about or a way of being that sounds ideal to you. Then, select one and do something that you would do if that was your life! Go for a walk to clear your head and allow yourself to daydream As I said last week, I like to think of this book as the artist's shadow work since it looks at aspects of yourself that have been ignored. I suggest getting a copy if you can but either way, you can follow along and do some of the weekly exercises! 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 Ready to recalibrate and do some healing?

Ep 5050: The Artist‘s Way: An Intro

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘆: 𝗔 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 This episode is an introduction to a book called The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. I will be doing a 12 week series to share the wisdom of each week's chapter and my own experiences with the themes and exercises. I have gone through this book twice fully and have been meaning to complete the course again. It has been on my mind to do an episode on it for awhile and it came up during my Card Pull Friday leading up to the full moon in Pisces. This makes a lot of sense since emotional wounds, intuition and creativity are all associated with this sign and the book! In this episode, I talked about "morning pages" which is the author's daily activity that involves hand writing three stream of consciousness pages each day to clear your mind of clutter (something that is aligned with last week's episode!) The other regular activity is taking yourself on "artist dates" to do something that feeds your inner artist. I like to think of this book as the artist's shadow work as it digs in to some deep wounds and opens up new beliefs and trust. I suggest getting a copy if you can but either way, you can follow along and do some of the weekly exercises! 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 Ready to recalibrate and do some healing?

Ep 4949: Decluttering

𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 This episode is all about decluttering in all areas of life! I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I have been giving away and getting rid of a lot of my old things in the past couple of months and doing a "spring" cleaning (I feel like I hibernated all summer)! Clutter comes in many forms, from thoughts, digital photos, emails, commitments and more. I talked in the episode about how clutter can reflect a scarcity or lack mindset and show up as hoarding. We feel the need to hang onto thoughts, things and even photos on our phone that we never look at. It is so hard to let things flow through us. Clearing our minds, energy fields and spaces makes room for us to receive the abundance and downloads we are calling in!

Ep 4848: Oracle Card Forecast

𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 In this episode, I decided to do an oracle card forecast! When I was thinking about what to talk about this week, I kept thinking about my Card Pull Friday Instagram lives that I do on Concrete and Crystals, so I thought it would be fun to start a card reading forecast series for the podcast. I'll do these episodes when I feel intuitively inspired instead of scheduling them to make sure it is always in alignment. For this reading, I used the Light Seers Tarot deck to pull five cards. I feel like this is meant as a forecast for September. The messages were around heart-centered work and taking new actions to move forward. Let me know if you enjoyed this type of episode!

Ep 4747: Card Reading for Yourself

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 In today's episode, I decided to give some insights into how I approach reading for myself. Reading for ourselves can be tricky since we have a VERY personal interest in the outcome and messages attached to the cards. I read for myself every day, so I see patterns and context a lot easier than I used to! I talked about the differences I feel reading for myself and others. I trust the messages a lot more when I read for others because it feels more channeled, while I feel my ego stepping in when I pull cards for myself! I gave some examples of cards and patterns I've been seeing in my morning readings and also some strategies I use to get a more complete message from each card. I use the guide books when reading for myself because there are often meanings that I would otherwise miss. Although I don't do this for my clients, I'll still pull out the books when I do a reading for someone I know really well because I want the best for them too!

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 In this episode, I had a great conversation with Jenny Miller about breathwork and conscious relationships! Jenny talked about how breathwork can help us to be more conscious and how this affects our relationship with ourselves and others. We talked about what makes a conscious relationship including communication, awareness and authenticity. Jenny shared how this shows up in new relationships as well as our more well-established bonds. Jenny gave us a walkthrough of what to expect when we book a Relationship Reading or Signature session with her in this episode. She talked about how she reads from your energy to discover what is holding you back! I loved hearing Jenny’s spirit crumbs and the signs from her dog in Spirit she shared as well! 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 Jenny Miller is a highly sensitive intuitive working to guide you to your highest potential.

Ep 4545: Choosing a Reader, Healer or Coach

𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 In this episode, I talk about what I've learned over the years about choosing the right reader or healer for you. I was introduced to this world by going in person to psychic expos and walking around to feel drawn to someone, but that isn't the case for most people who are curious and looking for support - especially now! Using your own intuition is the best way to decide who is right for you. I truly believe that any reading or healing you seek out is just a tool you are using to heal yourself and initiate growth. There are lots of ways to discern which healers, readers and coaches are a match for you and I've shared what I consider when I'm looking for support.

𝗠𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝘀 For episode 44, I was inspired to choose something more magical to share! I decided to talk about some of the spirit crumbs that have come up for me. It's been awhile since I really got back to the core of Spirit Crumbs - synchronicity! I have been receiving spirit crumbs in the form of songs, feathers, cars, poems, posts and having people mention what I am considering doing next on my path. There are so many ways to receive them, but what is the most magical thing about spirit crumbs is HOW they come to you! I also talk about feeling called to do my spiritual work full-time in the not too distant future. This is something that I've had in my vision for awhile now and I am receiving more and more signs that the gap is closing. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺?

Ep 4343: The Four Agreements

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 In this Episode, I started by talking about the Lions Gate Portal and New Moon in Leo that just overlapped this Sunday, August 8. I love these energetic events and I explained that although they are potent opportunities for individual transformation, I prefer to offer group events to emphasize how we are all connected. Our heart chakra is a portal for connection and I feel like that was really strong during my Energetic Upgrade session that night! I ended up talking about shadow work which is in my energy now as I am teaching a workshop on Chakra Shadow Work in the Initiation Circle today! The book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz came into my awareness quite awhile ago, but I didn't read it until a couple of months ago. I was looking through the spiritual books available at my local library and it caught my eye. Then, it sat on my shelf until I heard it referenced in TWO podcast episodes in a row! After reading it, I found that it kept working its way into conversations and it felt like something I should share with you! It is a straightforward book that is more of a life philosophy than a spiritual book in many ways. There is a sequel, the Fifth Agreement, so I included all five in this episode! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲: 1. 𝘉𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 2. 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 3. 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 4. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 5.

I really didn't relate it to shadow work until today, but I think we are all going to be facing a lot of that energy in the coming months! 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 My 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗨𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 for processing grief, rebirth and transitions will launch on August 22 on the Full Moon in Aquarius. I will be holding an opening circle that day as well!

Ep 4242: Rest and Receive

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 & 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 I followed a spirit crumb to share some downloads and insights that came to me from the cards I pulled yesterday morning (8/2) that really resonated with me. I've been getting a lot of messages to slow down and rest, and to celebrate my accomplishments. I did allow myself some time to take in my recent graduation, but really only a day or two. And yet, I've been constantly learning and creating for the past couple of months without really taking a break! I pulled the 21 World card from the Light Seers Tarot and 21 The Universe from the Psychic Tarot deck and knew that my guides were trying to emphasize the messages. Resting is HOW I can receive. The universe knows how hard I've been working and I need to learn that I am worthy to receive abundance and joy while I take a break. The 2 is feminine and the 1 is masculine, so the receiving has to happen before I can start taking action on something new again. I even have the 2 Receptive Power from my Visionary I Ching deck card sitting on my desk as a reminder! I shared about how I have always been more vague about what I want in order to avoid disappointment or to avoid seeming selfish or greedy. This doesn't work when we are calling in our desires! I hope that you are taking the time to rest and receive! 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕?

𝕊𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕥 ℂ𝕣𝕦𝕞𝕓 𝕌𝕡𝕕𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 In this episode, I am catching up on what spirit crumbs I’ve been following this summer while you were on the chakra series journey! I realized I was meant to support others on their healing journey through grief or shadow work and in order to do that, I felt like a death doula course would reinforce my compassion and ability to hold space. I don’t even remember how I actually ended up getting to the point of signing up for a course, but I was definitely following the crumbs! I talked about the community I am launching for processing and integrating grief, identity shifts and life challenges. I also talked about how Leo season is particularly potent this year for creativity and connecting with community and soul family. This is partly because the season is bookended by TWO full moons in Aquarius (July 23 & August 22). Both Aquarius and Leo ask us to show up as our authentic self and tap into creativity! While Leo tells us to get in the spotlight, Aquarius encourages us to ask how we can connect to and serve our community. If we put these together, our community can find us and resonate with our authenticity and offerings! The biggest spirit crumb I’ve followed in the past year was joining the Initiation Circle with Danielle Searancke! The circle is having its first anniversary on August 1 already!! I am a completely different person from that time and am so grateful for Danielle and her support. The community is a constant source of love and spirit crumbs! I hope you allow your true self to shine and follow your own spirit crumbs for Leo season!

Amber offers some insight into how we are meant to ascend as humans into a more conscious state and the experiences that can happen when we are on that path.

Ep 3939: The Crown Chakra

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕠𝕨𝕟 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕜𝕣𝕒 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 & 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 In Episode 39, I am discussing the basics of the crown chakra. This chakra is our direct connection to Source and unity consciousness. It is about oneness and divinity and is where I believe we channel other beings and from our Higher self. As the final chakra, it tells us that unconditional love and realizing our connection to all beings is the goal of our human spiritual journey. We remember that we have a divine spark that exists in all life. As with the third eye chakra, there is more of a focus on opening than healing as most of our blocks are just normal human mindsets and limiting beliefs that we need to overcome. Letting go of attachments is central to the crown chakra. It is important to remember that all of the chakras work together as one system and in order to maintain balance, we have to address our human needs and spiritual needs equally. It’s easy to stay in the upper chakras once we discover their energy because being a human is hard! The topics covered in this crown chakra episode are: location and body parts what parts of our lives it is responsible for colour, crystals and scents animals gods/goddesses How an unbalanced crown chakra may show up What a balanced crown chakra is like Some ways to heal the crown chakra The Bija mantra, or seed sound Affirmations!! Feel free to reach out with anything that is important for you around the crown chakra - affirmations, blocks, healing etc. I would LOVE to learn from you about each chakra and hopefully have enough to share in another episode!

Ep 3737: The Third Eye Chakra

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕣𝕕 𝔼𝕪𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕜𝕣𝕒 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 In Episode 37, I am discussing the basics of the third eye chakra. This is where we open to our psychic abilities and connect to our intuition. The third eye chakra is also the center of our clairvoyance, clear seeing, and is where we experience inner vision, dreams and imagination. Once we have awakened our third eye, our perspective shifts to a more spiritual lens and we are able to better discern what is true in this world. As mentioned in this episode, we all experience this awareness differently and the more we trust our intuition, the more similar experiences we will attract! Testing our intuition with guessing games and dedicating some time to meditation are great ways to open this chakra more. Our inner wisdom also can be accessed through our third eye chakra and can help us to connect to the guidance of our guides, angels and our Higher Self. The topics covered in this third eye chakra episode are: location and body parts what parts of our lives it is responsible for colour, crystals and scents animals gods/goddesses How an unbalanced third eye chakra may show up What a balanced third eye chakra is like Some ways to heal the third eye chakra The Bija mantra, or seed sound Affirmations!!

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕋𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕒𝕥 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕜𝕣𝕒 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 In Episode 35, I am discussing the basics of the throat chakra. This is where we communicate from and speak our truth to the world. The throat chakra asks us to balance listening and talking in our interactions, discerning what needs to be communicated. In order to speak our truth, we need to find our authenticity. In order to show up as ourselves, we need to know who that is and what resonates with us. Pay attention to whether you are the same version of yourself in all settings or if you are creating a persona for each group of people you communicate with regularly.

I talk about abortion at the end of the episode and I give another warning for when I will talk about that part of my journey for anyone who is okay with the other topics. This is a very vulnerable episode, but one that I have been feeling called to share for awhile. It is important for me to align with my authenticity and share my story. I have alluded to the fact that I have been dealing with a lot in 2021 so far, but haven’t shared any details. Honestly, I had so much going on that I wouldn’t have known where to start. I talk in this episode about how I am 33 this year and starting in 2020, I was receiving the inner knowledge that this would be a "Jesus year" journey for me (Jesus died at 33). Though I am not religious, I resonate a lot with the Ascended Masters. The fact that this ended up being episode 33 is just another spirit crumb showing up for me! I recently decided to write a book as part of my healing journey and a way to share what I have learned along the way. I know that I am meant to walk others through major times of struggle, so I had to dive into grief that I skipped over while I was in survival mode. In this episode, I start by talking about my experiences with death and grief at a young age and how there were signs along the way that this was an area that I could really hold space for people. I was thinking about what I could do to better prepare myself for this and ended up enrolling in an online Death Doula certification course that is lighting my soul up in a way I didn't expect! I could talk for a whole episode on how my human design and astrology natal chart support this as my path. My tenth house is in Scorpio and Pluto and Mars are hanging out in there, so I feel like that should have already been a pretty big hint! I share a bit about how my feelings have shifted around my bankruptcy and how I am still on great terms with my former partner. Although I am still walking through some of the healing, these were challenges that have helped me to release some heavy emotions that I was walking around with for awhile. I talk about my abortion, not in too much detail because I am still in the process of working through grief. I also shared how I've connected with Mary Magdalene and Quan Yin during my healing process around this challenging time. I was originally going to share these parts of myself after the book was completed, but my soul and guides have been reminding me that people need to hear it now. I will be working on circles and workshops to process and release past versions of yourself. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚?

Ep 3232: The Heart Chakra

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕥 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕜𝕣𝕒 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 & 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 In Episode 32, I am discussing the basics of the heart chakra. This is where we experience love, gratitude and connection. Part of our journey of the heart is learning to give and receive love freely. Many of us have protective layers around our heart chakras from past hurts. Forgiveness and compassion are integral to healing this chakra. These are important to direct toward others and ourselves. Whether or not we receive apologies or forgiveness from others, we need to have compassion and forgiveness for our own actions and pain. This is a lot easier said than done! However, learning that our heart is the portal to access the Divine within can assist with receiving love for ourselves from within. The heart chakra is the centre of the chakra system, representing the bridge between our lower human chakras and upper spiritual chakras. The heart can transmute our pain into love. The topics covered in this heart chakra episode are: location and body parts what parts of our lives it is responsible for colour, crystals and scents animals gods/goddesses How an unbalanced heart chakra may show up What a balanced heart chakra is like Some ways to heal the heart chakra The Bija mantra, or seed sound Affirmations!! Feel free to reach out with anything that is important for you around the heart chakra - affirmations, blocks, healing etc. I would LOVE to learn from you about each chakra and hopefully have enough to share in another episode!

Ep 3030: The Solar Plexus Chakra

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕠𝕝𝕒𝕣 ℙ𝕝𝕖𝕩𝕦𝕤 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕜𝕣𝕒 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 In Episode 30, I am discussing the basics of the solar plexus chakra. This is where we access our personal power and identity. Solar plexus energy gives us confidence and the drive to take action towards our purpose and manifestations. Because of the yellow solar energy in this chakra, we sometimes see this as an inner flame that gets ignited to spark our motivation. This fire energy also reminds me of the sign of Leo in astrology! This sign also rules the 5th house, where we experience the playfulness of children and let ourselves be seen in the spotlight. Pay attention to how you're experiencing your solar plexus energy for the next while as Mars (the planet of action) just entered Leo! The topics covered in this solar plexus chakra episode are: location and body parts what parts of our lives it is responsible for colour, crystals and scents animals gods/goddesses How a blocked solar plexus chakra may show up What a balanced solar plexus chakra is like Some ways to heal the solar plexus chakra through practices and the senses The Bija mantra, or seed sound Affirmations!! As I mention in the episode, please reach out with anything that is important for you around the solar plexus chakra - affirmations, blocks, healing etc. I would LOVE to learn from you about each chakra and hopefully have enough to share in another episode!
