How many people in this audience have heard other self help motivational speakers discuss the importance of shadow work? I know for myself shadow work felt so confusing. I wondered, is it a therapy practice? or Is it witchcraft? It sounds so mysterious... 

From this episode discussion I realize I've known the true definition of shadow work for quite some time. Self awareness is shadow work! True Self awareness is having enough love for yourself that you do a deep dive into all aspects and details of your life to see what truths you've subconsciously hidden about yourself. My self awareness journey has made me realize as much as I am a loving, considerate person, I do struggle with elements of anger in my heart. I often have road rage when driving and I'm liable to lash out at a loved one when I feel disrespected or intentionally misunderstood. The true challenge of self awareness is not to beat yourself up or criticize yourself for the emotions you have within. The true practice of self awareness is to embrace yourself fully, in order to unlearn any character traits that are not serving you.  Often self awareness is a very difficult practice of uncovering the flaws we try to hide. For example, maybe you tell little white lies from time to time? maybe sometimes you hold envy in your heart towards your friends accomplishments? Maybe you find it difficult being emotional vulnerable with loved ones ? or maybe you easily lash out at friends or co workers, anyone that challenges your peace? 

This is the level of shadow work and self awareness we truly need to have if we are looking to embrace real change within ourselves.  Just because you don't have large amounts of negative emotions that are outwardly shown, does not mean you do not have some demons in your heart that need to be addressed.  You should be so so self aware that you understand and truly acknowledge the areas of your life that need to change.

In conclusion, self awareness is not only crucial for growth and development. Self awareness can also bring a great source of joy and fulfillment into our lives.  Do you truly know yourself? Do you know what things you love to do? Do you know what ways you prefer to communicate? Do you know what sets your soul on fire? Do you know effective self care activities you can do in your own life? Everyone needs to be honest and self aware with themself, especially people in teaching positions. Real shadow work and self awareness pushes us to become our best selves and i want joy, peace of mind and growth for all the ladies and gents on their healing journey's.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I felt really compelled to record something encouraging for all the singles. Even if you are happily in a relationship I believe this message can have a large impact on the way we view romantic love and healing. From my experience I've seen first hand how people have self sabotaged and ruined relationships because they refuse to change and do the healing required to be in a healthy loving partnership. 

Everyone deserves to be loved and I know real genuine love will come into your life in divine timing. Rest assured that you do not need to be anxious or jealous or envious. It isn’t until we focus on the parts of ourselves that aren’t so pretty, until we prioritize self love and healing that we can be open and receptive to a love we deserve. Even if you did meet the love of your life tomorrow, I believe all the emotional baggage you refuse to deal with will 100% rear its ugly head in your relationship. This is how adults unintentionally self sabotage. When we run from emotional awareness and maturity, when we choose to ignore growth and true character development, we hinder ourselves from being able to maintain a healthy love. 

My best advice to those people who are alone on valentines day is to cultivate deep levels of self love. Healing is love. Becoming the best version of yourself is love. Once you commit to doing the work, you will see the flood gates open when it comes to a healthy love you deserve in your life. When you heal and focus on self growth, this is how you attract a healthy partnership in divine timing. Nothing is out of reach for you. You can and you will manifest a perfect love once you focus on building within. Whether it is romantic love, family love of friendship. The foundation of all healthy loving relationships stems from the amount of true love you have for yourself and your expansion. It stems from how much you trust God and the universe in your love life.

On this episode of more uncomfortable authenticity, I'm talking about all the times in life we felt let down by spirit. Healing, growth and learning to have faith IS NOT always going to feel good. How many times have we felt tempted to abandon God because of a painful life experience endured? I know I have. We become frustrated, confused, even angry when it feels like God is not responding to our consistent efforts and prayers. It doesn't feel good to be authentic with people about the ways you're struggling or about the failures you've experienced. If the feelings of pain and discomfort in life cause you to run from your faith, ask yourself is it really a relationship that you want with God? Or do you just want to hear "Yes" all the time. How self consumed are your desires? 

Yes, God wants you to have joy and peace! Yes God wants you to have the desires of your heart. Yes he wants you to live the best life you can envision....but you know what spirit wants more? Spirit wants your heart to change! God's love has no end, but sometimes God makes us endure difficulty so that our character can develop. God will let you endure hardship because he sees what needs to be changed within us. Spirit wants you to have more faith, spirit wants you to abandon jealousy and envy. Spirit wants you to be generous and grateful with what you have. God is not concerned with always making his children "feel good". God wants us to be renewed and restored. He wants to see our character so developed that we look more like his image of pure love. 

If you're in a season where you feel abandoned and neglected by God. If you’re in a season that you’re asking God to make a way and he hasn’t yet, I want you to be encouraged by the below. The universe always has 3 answers for you at different times

1. Yes

2. Not right now

3. I have something BETTER for you 

What you are experiencing is not to harm you. It's to protect and prepare you for the harvest God really wants for you. Do not be discouraged. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Any door that was closed in your face, will be replaced with something BETTER. Question is, do you have faith? Do you trust God? Or do you give up when you don't get your way?

I've been mentioning this since 2022 and now its finally here! This episode is all about the journaling I began last year. The prompts I discuss are the 3 x 33 rule, gratitude and the Wheel of Life worksheet. About 4 months ago I began writing down in detail what I wanted to manifest in my life, vivid depictions of how it will feel to obtain this life and first hand examples of people I currently know, who have the lifestyle I'm manifesting. For 3 consecutive days I repeated manifestation statements 33 times. Each prompt the exact same. This practice was followed by a wheel of life worksheet that separates life into categories: Job, Finance, Personal Growth, Health, Family, Friends, Hobby and Spirituality. A deep dive into what you want your life to look like in every area. 

In 4 months I've already seen several things in my manifestation journal begin to realize. In this short period of time I know that God has truly seen me and the universe has been working non stop to bring my manifestations to life. 3 very important affirmations that helped me during the waiting process are:

1. I trust the mysterious flow of the universe 
2. I honor what is here
3. I find opportunity in the wake of difficulty 

The final step of the manifestation process for me, was to release and visualize. The final and most important step of it all. I learned that the act of desiring and wanting is not enough to manifest the life of your dreams. Impatience will also get you nowhere. Rather, you should have an abundance of faith in what's to come! So much so that you believe it is coming, you release the desire and you begin to visualize what it will feel like when the manifestation comes because you know it's already yours! 

My goal of this episode is for people to understand that I am a regular flawed human being. The same way I've began to manifest my life dreams, so can you! We all have the tools and are capable of manifesting the life we imagine. All it takes is intentionality, willingness and gratitude for what you have already been given.

Whats going on everyone! I hope everyone is starting off the new year well. This is a trial episode for something new I wanted to introduce as: Candid Conversations. This is a first hand account and glimpse into the discussions I have with other believers in faith. I hope you enjoy this candid conversation that provides a male and female perspective on the church ideology behind women and the way they dress.  If you associate as female, I know your clothing and outward appearance has been a topic of contention at some point in your life.  If you want an authentic look into how this makes both myself and my partner feel, this is the episode for you! 

 In this conversation we are addressing difficult topics such as: "How do people in the church perceive a woman who "dresses sexy"? What does the bible say about outward appearance and appropriateness? Is there mixed messaging from church that supports Gods love but judges the appearance of those who attend? What kind if trauma has this caused women in the church to feel about our bodies? And how can we open the dialogue more for women to love their bodies and themselves fully. 

From this candid conversation I hope others see first hand how two people in a relationship can have healthy, effective disagreements without disrespecting the other persons point of view. In this conversation we both make space for each others personal experiences and take aways. We both allow each other to speak without judgement. And most importantly we express our truth even when its uncomfortable as a means to growing closer

I get a little emotional in this episode for a couple reasons. The first being that I've finally surrendered fully to God, having faith and falling in love with my journey. The second reason is because just as I was feeling less than my best self, God continued to chase after me, giving me CLEAR signs from the universe that my desires are closer than they seem. 

I happened to stumble upon a free library outside of a strangers home. Grateful for the novels, I had no idea what awaited me inside them. I began to read Iyanla Vanzant's "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up"  and to my surprise two very touching hand written letters fell out. One letter began with "Dear Dad" the other "Dear Husband". Two of the most beautiful God centered, heartfelt letters I've read in a long time. It was as if I could have been the writer of these words! So much synchronicity and alignment between my own feelings towards my father and towards the husband I've been manifesting. Words I needed to hear to remind me that God hasn’t forsaken me. My entire being felt and deeply related to the writers sentiments of gratitude towards God. The moment was so touching it brought me to tears. 

I hope this New Year episode really speaks to someone. Going into 2023 let's learn to fall in love with the journey. Alignment is real and God sees you in every season of your life. Once you commit to being the best version of yourself, the Universe will send you miraculous signs that you are on the right path. Spirit will speak to you in various ways. Be encouraged knowing that the life you are manifesting is coming into fruition! Keep going and keep asking God to show you what and who belongs in your life next year!

As the year comes to an end I wanted to share my thoughts and reflections about 2022.  This year I encountered so many people who seemed to not understand who they truly are. I'm also guilty of this, sometimes putting myself down and assuming the worst of myself. This episode is to inspire and impact everyone who has made it through a rough year. You are an overcomer! 

You are created in the image of God. You are divine, you are here for a reason and your life has meaning and purpose! Never take your innate gifts lightly. Everything about you is unique and masterful. When God created you he said "This is Perfect". I challenge anyone who is setting intentions towards the new Year to not only write down what they are manifesting for 2023, but to also write down who they are and what they've overcome this year. You’re stronger than you realize. You are capable. You are hard working, you never give up and you are still here! The practice of writing all this down before the new year allows you to stand in your POWER. You cant know where you’re going until you look at how far God has brought you.

This year I learned so much about the woman I am. Everyday living in alignment with God and the universe I uncover my spiritual gifts more and more. My ability to feel the emotions of others deeply. My ability to see others emotionally without them having to say a word. I now know my innate sensitivity for others is not my downfall. Being an empath and a clairvoyant is a gift that Gods placed inside of me. A gift I'm blessed to have.

We are all divine. We all have special purpose in this life. It's our job to take a leap of faith and discover what it is we are here to do. If you want to further discover your own spiritual gifts, go into the new year with intention, owning your power declaring abundance. When you are centered with God, the universe will speak to you. You just need to take a moment to silence the outside noise and really listen.

"Increasing your tolerance for discomfort is how you master yourself.  The difficult conversations, the uncomfortable silence, the adversity. This is where you grow the most.  Learn to not only accept your discomfort, but to embrace it. Discomfort is the mystery of existence, just as comfort is".  

These words brought me to question, how can we as people change our perspective on adversity and handle discomfort that typically comes during the holiday season when surrounded by various friends and family. In this episode I mention my own tendency to often lean avoidant by choosing not to acknowledge the truth when dealing with the people I love. I really had the belief that telling people what they wanted to hear was a form of love. I believed that my actions of avoiding difficult discussions,  never rocking the boat, never making anyone uncomfortable, made me a good friend and family member. 

This season I challenge you to face the situations you're running from with that loved one. Don't view this season of discomfort as a punishment in your life. This adversity is pushing you. This adversity is forcing you to be your most authentic self and you are becoming healed. The truth does not always feel good. Often we easily get offended or disregard the areas in our lives where we truly need improvement and where we still have room for growth. 

It took several discussions, but recently I spoke to my mom about the ways I felt she abandoned my emotions. I was open and expressed how her recent words and actions made me feel. As much as I was triggered and angered by her actions of jumping to quick conclusions and what felt like she was putting me down, for once in my life I feel she finally understood my point of view. She apologized and we both agreed that it is okay to tell your loved ones "Im sorry I made you feel this way" even if you don't understand their ideals.  If I chose to simply tell my mom what she wanted to hear or never acknowledge the ways I often felt gaslit by here, we would still be in the same unfortunate position, several months and years from now.  It took me really leaning into my discomfort to show up as my authentic self, acknowledge why I've been triggered and effectively communicate with my mother from an emotional standpoint. 

If you have been struggling with connection and find discomfort in your family dynamic, I want you to know that I see you. You are not alone. Find an outlet that allows you to face whats uncomfortable, whether that is having a difficult conversation, picking up the phone or simply journaling your emotions and experiences. Sometimes its the thing that does not feel god that we need to hear the most!

Recently one of the most significant dates in several years has passed. November 11, date 11/11 in 2022! With the 111, 222  numeric symbols I felt this was an amazing time to record and share a very important message with you all.  As stated, below are the positive affirmations discussed in the beginning of the episode.  

1. My actions create constant prosperity and wealth.
2. I love myself, I respect myself, I am proud of who I am! 
3.I'm worthy of love & success. I deserve to be happy.
4. Its a new amazing day. Things are happening to me. New challenges to face, New victories to achieve.
5.Blessings are chasing me down. The right people and opportunities are coming into my life! 

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to share with you all the personal fears Ive had to overcome and the miraculous events and opportunities that have presented themself to me in this awakening part of my journey. This recording truly holds a very special place in my heart because I've seen first hand how important it is to release your fears, in order to allow God and the Universe to give you exactly what you need. 

Ive seen fear overcome some of my closest family members and ruin their lives. Ive seen fear keep me in a very depressed and dark state of mind. The moment I decided that fear and worry have no place in my life journey, is the moment I mentally freed myself from anguish. I had to learn the hard way that fear and manifestation CAN NOT exist in the same space. Yes it can be extremely difficult abandoning your fears and worry's but it is needed to draw in abundance into your life.  We often fear our basic needs won't be met. We fear the unknown. We fear failure and financial instability. What if I told you that you were never meant to struggle. You were never meant to live in lack and difficulty. Abundance is your birthright! But in order to live abundantly you must trust and have faith in a power outside of yourself. You must have faith in what you cant see. You must release your fears and adopt genuine belief that everything gets to work out for you! The right doors will open. The right opportunities will present themself to you, but first, you must BELIEVE

This specific episode really tugs at my heart. I express how the teachings of my upbringing and specific personality characteristics of sensitivity and empathy somehow turn into a subconscious abandoning of myself. Growing up I was always taught to "put others above myself". I grew up conditioned to believe that being a good person meant putting the needs, wants and emotions of others above myself at all times. Today I know that being overly empathetic, and extending large amounts of grace to people in certain relationships can be a hinderance in our lives. 

I discuss how my genuine empathetic nature of constantly caring about how others feel about me, led to me not being my authentic self; it led to me not speaking my truth, me not having any boundaries and honestly led to my lack of self love.  How often do we make excuses for the ones we care about? We excuse their emotional immaturity, we excuse their poor communication skills and toxic habits.  When do we learn that not being everything for everyone is okay. When do we learn that our efforts of constantly trying to help others can get in the way of us truly helping ourselves. 

Too much of anything is never good. In this episode is all things duality. We will analyze toxic empathy in relationships, healthy boundaries, how to build  more self love and how to honor our true selves so that we can effectively honor others.
