Jenni and I were recently with my sister Jill and Kathrin Zenkina, and since I had the mics there, I decided to just hit record and do an impromptu podcast episode with all of us! We didn't have a specific topic in mind or a direction for this roundtable, and we ended up covering a lot of things, but a common theme was us talking about awakening intuitive or spiritual gifts. In this episode, each of us reveals the ways in which we've exercised our intuitive "muscles" and how doing this really paves the way for creating magic in our lives, every single day! We want to hear from you! What resonated with you the most from this episode and are there ways in which you've awakened your intuition and innate gifts? Take a screenshot of you listening on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag all of us, @jameswedmore, @jeunejenni, @jill_foubister and @manifestationbabe! In this episode you'll hear: Our thoughts on whether anyone can be intuitive and how people can cultivate their innate gifts Kathrin's decision to change course in her life after asking the Universe for a sign to point the way The impact that our environment growing up plays on our awareness of the gifts that we possess A discussion of how everything is energy and how this is related to manifestation What it means when we say that the Universe is reflecting, not testing you Patterns of things that have happened in each of our lives that points to the fact that there is no such thing as a "coincidence" My progression from starting a business to just make money to finding true alignment and purpose in what I do now How life shifted for me when I had faith and removed the logical thinking I once had Specific tools and life experiments that Kathrin and Jenni have used - and you can too!
