In Her Eyes

Dr. Wayne Dyer famously defined the EGO as Edging God Out.

I don’t know about you but I remember growing up hearing the phrase “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” more times than I can count.

Yet when it comes to cleaning, we often approach it from an ego-centric perspective.  It’s more about the facade of clean.  It's more about what things look like. (Or smell like!) But in reality, “clean” doesn’t have a smell.

The multi-billion dollar cleaning industry would have you believe otherwise.

They also want you to think that every surface AND kind of dirt requires a different product to do the job “right.”

In this episode, I discuss the trade-offs we make to create the facade.

Our health.  Our children’s health.  The extra space in our cabinets we use to house all the things we supposedly need.  The environmental impact. And so on.

This episode is designed to help you evaluate those spring cleaning urges as they arrive; where they come from; and how to take action from your authentic self. And what is most directly aligned with the vision that you have for yourself and your family.

We often think of clutter as mess. But when we take a hard look at how and why we do the things we do, or feel like we should do, we can start to see even the things that we use to clean and organize as a source of our distress.

Each week I offer an essential oil recommendation to align with the topic of the In Her Eyes podcast episode.

Most times, I forget to mention it.

But you can always find it on the episode webpage.

Peppermint is one of the most ubiquitous essential oils.  Because of its chemical properties, it aligns perfectly with the concept of taking action on those things which support your biggest dreams: i.e. “what’s important.”

It can be used topically, diffused, sniffed out of the bottle, or ingested.**** But only if it comes from a pure, lab-tested source!

It assists with all of the following physical challenges:

On an emotional level it moves you from a state of HINDERED —> INVIGORATED

In this short bonus episode, I share with you the power of peppermint to make that emotional shift!

Do you know what you really want?

Our body is brilliant at giving us the clues we need to discover both what we want and what we need.

But society and social conditioning teaches us to override that information.  And we become consumers instead of creators.

In this episode, I give you 2 important questions to ask yourself when you are faced with a decision.  They are transformational.  And will help you align what you really want with what is showing up in your life.

You can apply this process of analysis to anything, no matter how big (i.e.expensive) or mundane and simple.

We are good at finding excuses that keep us from going after our biggest dreams.  Until we take a step back and evaluate our actions, we continue to resist the flow that we could step into if we just let ourselves.

Is this an episode about DESIGN?  You betcha!

Is this an episode about SELF-ACCEPTANCE? It sure is!

Is this an episode about EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENT? Yep!  That too!

This episode will help you see the power that you have to get what you want and evaluate the true cost of not pursuing it NOW!

You are LIGHT, my love.

A magical array of colors that those around you experience without having to give words.

In those moments when you are

-most aligned,

-most at peace,

-most yourself,

you shine the brightest.

That sunrise that takes your breath away is also you.

In this episode, I discuss the energy of the light and color that we project; known as our aura.  And why it is important to understand.

How it is a piece of who we are.

Understanding ourselves is the surest path to creating surroundings that delight and inspire us.

I share with you the rare occasions I have seen the auras of others.  And why the circumstances that the people I observed were in, and the state of mind I was in, allowed me to experience their unique energetic projection.

I share with you what the color differences mean.

We have all experienced the energy of others whether or not we have seen it.  As an empath, I actively strengthen my aura each morning through an energetic alignment practice.  I know that it feels good.  That’s the reason I do it.  But when I saw a printout of how potent my aura was, it reaffirmed my intuitive nudges and self-care practices.

It also reminded me how important it is to talk about these things that aren’t part of our Western ideas of physical and mental wellbeing.

In the English language, the word DREAM has a number of meanings, both as a noun and a verb.

What if there is a strong correlation between our dreams in our waking hours and our dreams in our sleep?

What if there was a process to streamline the communication between our subconscious and conscious minds so as to bring dreams into reality?

What if our dreams, both waking and sleeping, are actually clues? The digestible metaphors for what we most desire?  Or struggle with?

In this episode I lead you through the correlation between all the meanings of the word dream as we know it and give you practical tools for the integration of your sleeping dreams into your waking self and vice versa.

And why learning this (and teaching it to our little people) is a powerful activation on the path to our understanding of our emotions, our struggles, and our greatest desires.

Join me as I help you become a Dream Weaver.

I am not a traditional roses and heart-shaped chocolate box kind of gal.

They lack creativity and inspiration in my book.

And the law of supply and demand makes them ridiculously overpriced.

I would rather receive a bouquet of roses on a random day in mid-August.

This episode is chock full of ways that you can expand your creativity on the theme of Valentine’s Day.

From 60’s style “door curtains” that highlight the unique magic of each family member.

To seeing that self-care can be as simple and as powerful as love letters to ourselves (and the ways to remind ourselves of that love).

Recording those early words of self-love and family love from the mouths of our babes can serve them for years to come.  And be straight-up hilarious!

There are fun things to do with food that are simple and inexpensive yet extraordinary.  And may even expand your child’s adventure level with food, leading to a more nutrient rich palette.

There are easy art projects to integrate into your design to build confidence as well as art techniques that provide stress relief and focus no matter what you think of yourself as an artist.

The most important thing to remember when putting on your creative hat this Valentine’s Day is to have fun.  Love can be fun if we let it!

Hearts abound this time of year.

They are everywhere you look.

I don’t know about you but I often find it hard to fully love and appreciate myself exactly where I am, right now.

My thoughts quickly drift to self-improvement, home improvement, the what-ifs, and I coulds.

Or they float to the past.

The things I can pat myself on the back for.

The things I wish I had handled differently.

The shape I was in.

Depending on my mood, I can sit in accomplishments

Or defeats.

In this episode, I share with you how I shift into the mindset of loving myself exactly where I am at, presently.

Without judgment or analysis.

I am not going to say it's easy.

But I am finding it to be vital.

Some people are unquestionably “plant people.”

Others claim they don’t have a green thumb.

There are some powerful reasons that we all need to have more plants in our lives.

Even though it has been unseasonably warm here in Pennsylvania, the same “wintry issues” are cropping up.  Dry air.  Dry skin. The winter coughs and colds.  Lethargy.  Depression.

Having more plants in your home helps with ALL of these things.

In this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast, I take you through 8 reasons why you NEED plants in your home.

When I started doing the research for this episode, I knew some of these.  I was shocked to find how complete the science was behind the initial 5 reasons that I had outlined.  But some of the other reasons were VERY exciting to discover!

And if you think you have tried adding plants to your home before and you just don’t have a green thumb, you definitely want to listen in.  Not only do I give you tips on becoming a better plant mom (I had to learn through trial and error), I share with you the mental and physical costs of not flexing your green thumb.

There are some important questions to ask yourself if you think you can’t keep houseplants alive.  And some potent reasons you should!

Have you ever found something that you had lost years ago when cleaning up an unexpected mess?

What if this happens emotionally as well?

What happens if you analyze where you are without judgment?

Without blame?

Without excuses?

What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be and the chaos provides the answers to the questions you have been asking the Universe?

In this week’s episode, we unpack the power of disarray.

We ask HARD questions when things we don’t like show up.  And are brave when the answers come.

What is intuition?

Is there a way to enhance it?

Can we go beyond just “listening to our gut?’

My answer is YES WE CAN!

Intuition can be such a broad and elusive term.

In order to develop it, we must first understand it in all of its forms.

It shows up differently for each person.

Understanding your primary intuitive strength is the first step to enhancing your intuition.

The “clairs” are the sensory ways that we communicate with the unseen world.

In this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast, I explain each of the “clairs.”

I walk you through how you might already be experiencing it in everyday life including the activities that you may be drawn to or have taken on as a profession.

I will also share with you the actions to take to fine-tune your innate clair.

Once you learn how to identify your clair from the routine chatter that you experience in your mind, you will be able to tap into it on a deeper level. And once we start owning our strengths, we begin to normalize our gifts and access our power.
