HWY 555 was named after highways being something that we travel on, and 555 - the angel number of change. this episode is all about the recent changes in my own life. I hope you enjoy the updates.

and just as I say in this episode - "it's never too late to start. or to start over." that's just what I'm doing with this episode. starting over HWY 555. here's to the relaunch! I hope you will continue with me on this journey.

I am joined by Erin Stabile, an Akashic Alchemist who will be leading us through just a glimpse of the eternal knowledge of what the Akashic Records are in this week’s episode.

Erin is also an Intuitive Medium and Spiritual Mentor, Shamanic Practitioner, Angelic Healer, and Reiki Master Teacher.

Through her work, she guides Spiritual Souls to embrace their purpose, enhance their intuition, channeling, and healing abilities, and expand into the power of multidimensionality and past lives.

this week's episode features Shiri, the founder of Sacred Flow Studios, in which we dive deep into the magical medicine of hapé. Shiri's vision is to provide a healing space where individuals can explore their connections to themselves, their higher spirits, ancestors and spirit guides through her medicine music, visionary art, shamanic tools and plant medicines. 

Shiri has spent the last 5 years as an Ayahuasca Facilitator and developed a deep connection with the medicine of Hapé along this journey, as it connected her back to her heart, allowed her to move through stagnant emotions, and cultivate a deep sense of peace and magic in her day to day life. 

Shiri has facilitated hundreds of ceremonies, workshops and circles and has witnessed Hapé heal people from trauma, a life time of physical pain, addictions, anger issues, emotional blockages, anxiety and more.

Her passion is to provide skills and ancient wisdom of plant remedies and music to bring people out of their heads and back into their hearts, back to their truth, and in alignment with their authenticity so they can create a life of fulfillment, joy and immense self love.

this week, I am joined by a friend and soul sister, Jacquelynne Faith, also known as the Astral Siren, to talk about what a psychic IS, what psychic abilities ARE, and to help others understand more about the unique experience as an intuitive.

Jacquelynne is an actress, model, and writer – turned professional priestess and intuitive healer. she has a degree in Human Communication enhanced by esoteric and holistic studies in psychology,  parapsychology, and medicine. Jacquelynne is also a certified reiki master, infusing it with her own style of energy work for her one on one sessions.

this episode answers a questions I recently received from a listener -

"How would someone work on NOT being an energy vampire? How would someone helps themselves to have their feelings not take too much from others?"

contact me:

today’s society is all about the hustle and grind. I encourage you to stay motivated and work hard, yes, BUT never forget that your body can only do as much as you fuel it to do. get your rest. delve in to pleasure. pay attention to what feeds your soul.

and always make time for your self.

“To do the work, we need to rest, to read, to reconnect. It is the invisible labor that makes creative life possible.”

I set an intention to read at least 52 books in 2024. and whether or not you read at all, I hope you will take the time to listen to this episode in which I touch on 8 benefits of reading books that I have personally experienced. and hopefully you will feel inspired and encouraged to get lost in some pages soon too.
