A Life That Lets Me Breathe

Thank you so much for joining us today! I'm beyond grateful to share this inspiring and empowering space with each one of you. As a holistic life coach, intuitive human design and energy guide, flower essence practitioner, and an artist, I'm thrilled to announce that a book is pouring out of me this summer, and I can't wait to share it with you.

This journey of writing my book has been brewing within me for several years now. As I flip through my old journals, I find fragments of thoughts and ideas that I knew would someday form the essence of my book.

Throughout this winding road, I've been honing my ability to listen to, trust, and follow my intuition. I believe that learning to discern between our conditioned, fearful selves and our true intuition is a vital part of our growth and transformation. Embracing the unknown, leaning into fear, and using it as motivation are keys to living a life of authenticity and purpose.

Over the past 25 years, my path has led me through various healing modalities, including yoga, meditation, art exploration, energy work, and more. Yet, the one constant has always been the profound simplicity of nature. Whenever I feel ungrounded or overwhelmed, I find solace in the healing embrace of nature. It is in those moments that I reconnect with my true self, my inner peace, and my intuitive guidance.

In nature is where I catch myself saying, "There I am."

As some of you may know, I've had my fair share of struggles with creativity and self-doubt. However, embracing my creativity, especially through watercolor painting, has helped me in my practice to explore without judgment. I have come to love painting flowers, capturing their energy and essence on paper.

This summer, something magical happened during my wildflower tour. I felt an intense flow of creativity after working with Mariposa Lily, which is all about the sacral chakra, creativity, and joy. It propelled me forward, igniting clarity for my book. And then came Sunflower, a powerful plant that boosted my confidence and helped me step into my radiant light. The flowers have become my companions, gently guiding me in the writing of my book.

During this transformative journey, I enrolled in a flower essence practitioner program. I've always felt deeply connected to the consciousness of nature, and this modality has allowed me to understand and attune to the healing qualities of flowers. It's been truly magical, and I feel honored to share more about the healing magic of flower essence therapy with you.

Introducing my new sessions:

Embodying Brilliance - a soulful fusion of flower essence therapy, intuitive human design, and holistic life coaching. These one-on-one sessions with me are designed to illuminate your true essence and help you embrace your unique brilliance.

Through flower essence therapy, intuitive human design guidance and holistic life coaching over three 1:1 calls with me, you'll receive powerful and simple tips and a personalized flower essence plan to awaken your natural energy, your authentic self, and your intuition - allowing you to connect deeply to your true nature and let your authentic light out into the world.

Listen to this episode to learn more about my journey and feel inspired and empowered to step fully into your authentic roots so you can connect deeply to what matters most to you and have a positive impact on our world.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to this episode!  Holistic life coach and host, Shannon Kinney-Düh, is launching her summer podcast mini-series: Radiant Awakening: Igniting Your Authenticity, Energizing Your Life and Unleashing Your Creative Magic. 

In the upcoming episodes, you'll hear inspiring stories from visionary, empowered women who share their personal journeys of struggle and celebration as they follow their hearts and live more authentically, aligning with their unique gifts.

Heather Fischer-Page is an intuitive guide, cosmic visionary, and holistic wellness mentor. In today's warm conversation, Heather shows us that we can all develop our psychic skills and can tap into the intuition necessary to connect with our spirit guides.

Heather helps her clients establish connections with their guides and mentors them to develop their own psychic abilities while learning to trust themselves.

From an early age, Heather experienced profound connections with spirits and other multidimensional beings. Simultaneously, she faced a series of health crises that prompted her to integrate various healing modalities into her daily practices. As Heather's spiritual practice and connection with her guides evolved, so did her understanding of others from a holistic perspective encompassing mind, body, spirit, and soul purposes.

As an adult, she began integrating a variety of spiritual techniques, ranging from nutrition and human design to energy healing and deep wisdom from her guides. These approaches helped her clients undergo significant transformations in their lives. Clients also sought her assistance in connecting with departed loved ones and clearing their homes and business spaces of spirits and negative energy. Consequently, Heather's practice experienced exponential growth. Her innate ability to connect with and guide trapped spirits, as well as cleanse homes' energies, has brought positivity back into the lives of many. Now, she mentors others to connect with their guides, angels, and spirits, enabling them to unlock their true potential and gifts.

Heather also hosts "The Integra Podcast," where she interviews leaders in wellness, spiritual guidance, and functional medicine, offering her listeners inspiration, wisdom, and wellness. You can find her podcast on all major platforms.

In this episode, Heather shares how she feels ignited by her authentic path and reveals where her intuitive journey is leading her next.

Most of you know me as a holistic life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, intuitive human design specialist, artist and mom to three boys.  I've dedicated the past 20 years of my professional life to guiding women towards living an empowered, authentic and creative life.

I'm doing something new and I'm really putting myself out there in a way that's taking me out of my comfort zone and making me feel vulnerable.

In today's episode, I'm sharing more about my Wildflower Tour and Product Launch announcement, and we'll explore why accessing, trusting and building the courage to follow your inner gps is so important on your journey towards living the life you are here to live!

We need awakend women as the energy of the world continues to shift.  (I keep hearing Alicia Key's lyrics, "...and we will RISE UP...." playing in the back of my mind.).  You can see different systems really rocky right now, including how out of balance the environment is and how things have to change!

We are awakening.  We don't want to live the way everyone is telling us to live.  We want to be our most authentic self in this lifetime so we can share our true gifts while living more in tune and in rhythm with mother nature.  We need to be connected to our inner GPS - our intuition and inner guide - in order to do just that.  

I also share in this episode how to learn more about your Human Design energy blueprint and how powerful that can be on your next step towards living in harmony with your life's purpose and your dreams.  Your life is precious and you deserve to express your true nature while you are here on this planet!

You can look up your free Human Design chart here.

I took a pause from the A Free Spirit Life podcast to dedicate more time to my painting, enjoy winter break with my family, and to kickstart the return to the Mindful Mama Movement podcast.  I am so happy to be back to this podcast today!

In today's episode, I explore the importance of living in rhythm and in flow with your authentic nature. I talk about how energy is so important and invaluable in how we experience our daily lives.

As a holistic life coach, I have guided hundreds of women going through small and big life transitions and one thing we all have in common is we want to be seen and appreciated for who we are - even in the midst of the mess.

We as humans don't particularly love change, and we tend to stay comfortable with how things are, even when we aren't happy, because the unknown feels scary.

It takes a lot of courage to choose to change.  Let me say that again...  It takes a lot of courage to choose to change.

A free spirit is someone who questions the way things have always been. It's someone who follows curiosity and wonder.  It's someone who is remembering what's important in life and it's someone dedicated to reconnecting with their own inner magic.  A free spirit is someone on a quest to feel safe being who they truly are so they can share their authentic gifts with the world.

The messages we receive from our culture is on how to be a "good girl," how to "please others" at the expense of our needs, how to fit in and how to live totally out of alignment from our true self.

If there is a longing inside you that knows there's a different way to live, that's your intuition nudging you.  You are ready to walk through transition and change with courage. This episode will encourage and support you to do just that and more.  

Enjoy the show!

We wear a lot of hats and hold up many plates and the day-to-day juggle is real.  When we are faced with so much on our work and home life plates, we can easily miss the everyday joyful moments in life because we are simply overwhelmed and depleted.  

In this episode, we'll eplore the 5 energy types in Human Design and learn how to feel more attuned with our true nature. 

I'll teach you how to find your energy type and why learning more about your personal chart is so life-changing.

I've had years of experience as a spiritual teacher and life coach, and since integrating Human Design into my intuitive practice, I have guided hundreds of women as they navigate change and break free of limitations with greater direction, clarity, peace and authenticity. 

So many women - just like you and me - are struggling to regain some sense of "normalcy" as we move through these unsettling times.  We are awakening to the fact that we don't have to live like everyone else, and in fact, when we discover more about our true self, we see we're all unique puzzle pieces.

Human Design helps you embrace and celebrate your differences, while shining a light on your authentic strengths and gifts.  

We all can see how fast life is moving and changing. Let's break the cycle of living on autopilot and rather than draining our energy, learn how to connect deeply to our intuition so we can say "yes" to the right things, and say "no" to what's holding us back and depleting our precious energy.

After taking a deep dive into the 5 energy types, I'll share my love notes to each of you.  My hope is that you feel seen, heard and validated.  I want you to remember how amazing and beautiful your messy and imperfect life really is. 

Knowing more about your Human Design will help you celebrate your authentic self and see your unique place in this world.

When we learn how to connect with each other in a more empathetic and genuine way, our relationships feel more in sync. And when life feels in sync, we experience true harmony - as though we're flowing with the current.

Human Design is a way to step into the current and to flow with life in a more ease-filled and energized way.  

Enjoy the show!

I'm back after a long break from the podcast.  My dad passed away very suddenly 6 months ago and I've taken some time away to get quiet, to rest and to grieve. 

In this episode I'm exploring what it feels like to show up in life, even when it doesn't go the way we think it "should."

The world is a noisy place and works hard to pull us away from our truest nature.  There is no right path, only the path that is right for you.

Are you listening to your heart and soul?  What are you longing for?  Where's your path taking you?  Do you trust it?

Let's explore that and more together in this episode.

Thanks for listening.  I'm happy to be back with you.

With love,

Shannon

In today's episode, I'm sharing an amazing conversation with entrepreneur, spiritual guide and coach, Tiffany Baker.

Tiffany recently learned that she's a Projector in Human Design. In this show, we explore how and why learning about her projector nature has been so rewarding, empowering and freeing.

I love how Tiffany describes that experimenting with life as a Projector with Splenic Authority has helped her understand her true nature in a way she never understood before.  She now knows why she needs more rest than others, and she's creating a family life and business that allows her to rest and work when she feels like it, rather than hustling and burning out like she did in the past.  

Tiffany is honest and genuine in her sharing about learning to trust her intuition, even when it means changing her mind, setting new boundaries or disappointing others.  She's a true testament to what it means to live more in alignment with your natural energy type and more connected to your authentic self.

If you are new to human design and want to learn more about the 5 different energy types, listen to Episode 47: What is Human Design & What's Your Energy Type?
