Winter is here in the southern hemisphere and I am finally learning to appreciate this season.

Just as nature takes this time to rejuvenate, we too need moments to pause and prepare for the next phase of our journey.

Is it as simple as having a psychic tell you your purpose and hey, presto, you’re sorted? Join me as we unpack this as I dive into the role of psychic readings in revealing one's life purpose and my own personal experience. 

I recount a serendipitous encounter with an ‘inter-dimensional channel’ in Sedona, Arizona, who channelled information about my purpose. 

I reveal how the insights landed at the time and how they have evolved over time. 

This experience has taught me how psychic guidance can be used as a starting point for inner exploration but you must remain open to the unfolding journey of life. 

Psychics filter and interpret information through their own personal lens, so stay open-minded when interpreting these insights. 

Learn the importance of trusting your own journey and inner guidance while being open to mystic insights, knowing that fulfilling your true calling unfolds in divine right timing. 

Tune in for advice on integrating psychic information into your own life and the ongoing process of self-discovery and development.

If something is meant for you, it won’t pass you by.

In this episode I share my most recent experience that shows the importance of trusting life’s timing and having faith in the process. 

Recently, I faced a big disappointment when we didn’t get the apartment we had hoped for...

But ultimately it led us to find an even better place (which is divinely designed as discussed in episode #51 - Rejection is protection (so don't despair)). 

Revealing how we navigated a competitive rental market and manifesting a place that met all our criteria, this story serves as a testament to the power of faith and trusting that what's meant for you will not pass you by. 

This episode reinforces the belief that what’s meant for you will find you, even in competitive situations or when the odds don’t seem in your favour. 

If you trust yourself, take the right inspired actions, and stay open and patient to divine timing, then anything is possible. 

Join me as I dive into these spiritual lessons and how they can transform your own path.

00:19 The Concept of 'What's Meant for You'

Are you holding yourself back from going for your dreams and soul callings? 

Inspired by a recent psychic reading, we’re diving into how we often wait for external validation before we feel confident enough to go for what’s in our hearts (especially those of us who aren't cis-het white men!).

Using my experiences from flood recovery efforts, I'll show you the power of acting confidently without waiting for permission. 

This episode is a call to action: trust your intuition, embrace your unique contribution, and take that next step towards your calling. 

It’s time to break free from self-doubt and light up the world with your unique, creative contribution.

In this episode we explore the significance of engaging in activities that bring joy and happiness to our lives. 

Societal norms and pressures discourage you from taking the time for things that bring you joy, attributing value only to being “productive”.

And yet, prioritising what makes you happy invigorates your life force energy and aligns you with your inner spirit.

It’s time to experiment with activities that make you happy, and reconnect to what brought you joy as a child.

I reveal how making happiness a priority, even in the smallest ways, helps you discover and fulfil your life’s purpose and calling.

It’s that vital!

The world is our mirror, reflecting back our inner states of consciousness.

The Dalai Lama said “we'll never see peace in the outer world until we have peace within ourselves”

So as we face rising global unrest, one of the most powerful things we can do is continue not only to show up and take the actions we are called to take to contribute to change, but do the inner work to embody the peace we want to see in the world. 

In this episode, I share about that time I googled for ‘spiritual psychic help’ and the surprising life-changing revelation it revealed that changed my life.

It helped me understand how each of us taking radical responsibility and doing our inner healing forms a critical part of our healing our world.

In this episode we dive into the art of dealing with life's unforeseen challenges.

I share my latest personal process rooted in my profound connection to trees and my distress in response to my landlord’s plans to remove all the trees in our backyard. 

This experience becomes a gateway to a broader conversation about life's unpredictability and how seemingly adverse situations can be leading you to what you need in ways you can’t foresee. 

Inspired by the Zen farmer parable, I reflect on the importance of embracing change, trusting in a greater unfolding and flow of life, and maintaining equanimity during difficult times.

We need this now more than ever as we collectively face the distressing continuing genocide of Palestinians and the oppressive forces against the recent student protests.

A quick update to share that there won't be a regular episode this week as I'm currently enjoying a bit of a holiday in the northern rivers of New South Wales, dogsitting the world's cutest cavoodle for a friend. 

This break has allowed me to soak up the sun, enjoy the beach, and reconnect with old friends in a place that feels deeply like home to me. 

I also announce a slight shift in podcast schedule, with new episodes landing for your listening pleasure on Friday nights (Aussie time). 

In this coming week, what can you do for your wellbeing and joy in your life? 

Despite the brief hiatus, you can schedule 1:1  sessions with me for when I return home later next week, including my special oracle readings rate.

Yet again, I am humbled to see how the unfolding path in front me is different from what I expected.

This latest plot twist involves me getting a job! 

Despite my extensive experience as a career coach and having clear goals, I faced unexpected challenges in my job search when I moved to Melbourne eight months ago.

However, through these experiences, I learned the importance of trust, intuition, surrendering to divine timing, and being open to jobs that look different from what I initially expected. 

In this episode, I delve into my insights and the lessons I learned about divine guidance, the importance of being open and flexible in our expectations, and how everything that happens is a part of a bigger plan for our highest good. 

I discuss the transformative power of letting go of control, the importance of divine timing, and how these principles can apply to you in your own job search and career transitions. 

Other episodes I mention are:

Are you holding on to guilt, regret or shame for things you've done or said in the past, to yourself or to others? This is the episode for you. 

This was sparked by a social media poll I did that indicated how many of you struggle more with self-forgiveness than self-acceptance.

So I open up and share some of my experiences of overcoming guilt and regret from the past - from the end of my marriage, broken friendships, addiction-fuelled regrets and the way I treated my mum and my body…

Carrying emotional baggage from the past hinders your personal growth and connection to your true self.

And yet, our biggest growth comes from painful experiences. So trust the journey, learn from past mistakes and forgive yourself.

The journey of self-forgiveness will free you up to pursue your soul's purpose with less resistance and more ease.

In this episode:

00:00 Welcome to the journey of self-forgiveness

01:01 The importance of self-forgiveness 

03:25 Understanding self-forgiveness through personal stories

04:31 The process that helped me heal from so much shame
