August 23, 2022Bypassing Analysis Paralysis
In this week’s episode of the Intuitive Connection Podcast, Bypassing Analysis Paralysis, I share my personal experiences with overthinking and some guidance on how to avoid Analysis Paralysis when making decisions. Often, we make decisions based on what we think we “should” do, and not what truly brings us joy and aligns with our soul’s intent. Our “shoulds” come from the mind, and what we have been taught is “right” or “wrong,” “good” and “bad.” Intuition comes from the soul and will always guide you towards the most aligned choice in the present moment.

Key Takeaways:
The best decisions are always intuitively guided. Analysis paralysis occurs when the mind takes over and we lose touch with our inner wisdom.
When making a decision, ask yourself what place you’re making the decision from. Is it from your heart, soul, joy, trust and intuition? Or from the junk of your mind, fear, and scarcity?
Tune into your intuition, learn what feels good, and follow that!
When making decisions there is not always one single best option. Sometimes the choice is between many equally worthwhile options, and even our “mistakes” are valuable opportunities for exploration and growth.
The more we follow our joy in every choice that we make, the more our choices will guide us towards even more joyful experiences.
Our childhood conditioning can impact how we experience decision-making as an adult. Becoming aware of this conditioning is the first step towards releasing these old patterns.
Few decisions are truly as high stakes as our minds might lead us to believe. And even if you do make a decision that leads you down a perilous path, each moment presents an opportunity to make a new choice.

August 16, 2022Mind Your Thoughts featuring Chris Niebauer
In this episode, we welcome back neuropsychologist Chris Niebauer to continue our conversation on how you can harness the power of your brain and avoid getting lost in your thoughts. Chris shares both scientific and practical tips for understanding the nature of the human mind and how we can learn to use our mind as a tool, without getting used by it.

Key Takeaways:
The thinking mind was created to help us survive in a world we no longer live in. As our world evolved, our programmed mind stayed the same.
Awakening happens when we learn to disidentify with our minds, and connect more directly with our higher selves.
You can’t solve the “problem” of thinking, with more thinking. True solutions arise when the mind is still.
The role of the mind provides a shared consensual sense of reality. It allows us to experience the human illusion. It creates a sense of time and tells us how the world works. However, what has happened is the mind has taken over when it’s no longer necessary to rule our lives.
Each moment, you have the power to reconnect to your soul and refocus your attention to choose how you want to feel.

August 09, 2022Are You Doing the Trigger Dance?
You know those moments where someone says or does something, and you immediately feel yourself taken out of a state of ease, flow and grace? Maybe someone cuts you off in traffic or a family member makes a comment that reminds you of past trauma. We call these triggers, and we all experience them. In this episode, we discuss how to know when you’re triggered and the best ways to respond when it happens.

Key Takeaways:
Even the most enlightened beings get triggered sometimes. It’s nothing to feel bad about and there’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just part of the human experience! The trick is in how you respond.
When we’re unconsciously triggered, we react rather than respond and can create more problems. It’s not about not being triggered by anything, but knowing when you’re triggered, bringing awareness to it and not reacting from that space.
Recognizing when someone else is triggered and having compassion for them doesn’t excuse bad behavior, but understanding that we’re all human and that they’re acting from their trigger helps you take a step back and look at the situation from a higher place of love, joy and alignment.
You can become more aware of your triggers by simply setting an intention. Ask your guides to assist in showing you when you’re in the light and when you’re off, and to help become aware and bring yourself back to center. Watch as your awareness grows!
All triggers are a blessing that show us something that needs more love and compassion within us. Triggers help us heal once we consciously become aware and process them!

August 02, 2022Navigating Life at a Crossroads: A Reading with Sofia
One of the beautiful parts about life is the infinite number of possibilities and paths we can take. The guest of today’s reading, Sofia, is facing a crossroads and is seeking guidance on how to decide the next step. Should she follow what she believes is her passion and purpose or accept a new position in her current industry? And is it really an either/or choice? Tune in to hear what the guides have to say about navigating life at a crossroads.

Key Takeaways:
There are no “wrong" decisions or choices. We learn through trial and error. Every choice we make offers an opportunity for growth and learning more of what our soul desires.
Social and familial conditioning can have a significant influence on us as adults. As we grow and question the things we learned when we were young, transformation takes place and we get to decide what we want to believe as adults.
We often think of our life purpose as something we do. The guides are here to remind us that our purpose can simply be to follow our joy and have fun!
Your life purpose can change at different stages in your life.
Our world is not black or white and sometimes choices are not always “either/or.” Saying yes to something, it doesn’t always mean you’re saying no to something else.
Sometimes we feel like we need to choose between doing what’s in our highest good and supporting and caring for others. However, when we take care of ourselves and our needs first, that often means we’re better able to take care of others since we’ve filled up our own cup first.

July 26, 2022Loving the Voice In Your Head
We all have a voice in our heads that criticizes, complains, steals our joy, and if we are not careful, can take over our lives. In this episode, we discuss how to have a loving relationship with our inner critic and how we can use the power of attention and intention to create more space around our thoughts and treat ourselves with more love and compassion.

Key Takeaways:
You are not your thoughts or your mind. You’re a beautiful, expansive soul and your mind is one aspect of something much greater!
The first step in dealing with this unhelpful voice is to bring awareness to it and recognize it’s a voice in your head that comes from conditioning and isn’t the truth.
When you become aware of this voice, you can start to create space around that voice by focusing on something that’s more interesting and loving.
Anything that’s not in the vibration of love is not who you really are and it’s in your power to control where you want to direct your energy.
The next time you find yourself in a harmful mind loop - recognize it, take a step back and focus on what you’d like to believe instead, like how you’re divinely perfect just the way you are!

July 19, 2022From Psychologist to Psychic with Not Your Average Psychic
Rachelle and Saskia are two clinically trained psychologists who awakened their psychic gifts and founded their healing collective, Not Your Average Psychic. In this episode, they share their journey of how they went from psychologists to psychics. We also discuss how to know when you’re hearing your intuition, the societal conditioning we have surrounding supernatural abilities, and how to connect with your pain in a healthy way while not getting lost in it.

Key Takeaways:
As a culture, the soul and spirituality has been neglected and often discounted in the field of psychology. When you combine the two, so much magic can happen!
Opening up to your psychic abilities can sometimes bring up feelings of discomfort, but by trusting and moving through the fear, you can awaken to so much beauty and inner-knowingness.
We often believe certain things based on societal conditioning that our soul knows not to be true. When we start to de-condition ourselves and let go of societal fear surrounding psychic abilities, we can learn to tap into these abilities from a place of love, understanding and strength.
Many people use psychic abilities and their intuition without even knowing it!
When we accept the present moment, we’re able to hear our intuitive voice come through with ease.
Triggering, painful or challenging experiences are happening FOR you, not to you. When you allow yourself to sit with the pain for a moment, without getting lost in it, profound realizations may occur for understanding where the root of the pain is coming from.
Instead of talking about pain and re-living the story behind it, Saskia finds it beneficial to feel where the pain is in the body. This allows you to connect deeply with the feeling to experience embodiment instead of staying in your mind.

July 12, 2022How to Read Oracle Cards
Tarot, oracle and positive affirmation decks are a wildly popular and helpful tool to assist us in connecting with our intuition. In this episode, I share my personal experience using oracle cards and share some insights into the helpful and less helpful ways of using them. Cards are meant for playing, so let’s have fun with this one!

Key takeaways:
Oracle cards can help us get out of our mind, surrender to any possible outcome and connect with our inner wisdom.
Some potential pitfalls of oracle cards include overthinking the meaning or misinterpreting the message of a card.
There is no such thing as “bad” cards. All cards have a divine message and are neutral, loving and supportive when they come from the soul level.
Use discernment when choosing an oracle deck. Choose a deck that is life affirming, empowering, and makes you feel good!
It’s important to set an intention when working with oracle cards. Release fear and align the messages that support your highest good!
Oracle cards, like all other spiritual tools and signs in the universe, are here to awaken our inner knowing and not replace it or take away our power.
All forms of guidance are cooperation with you and your highest self. If a reading doesn’t resonate with you at the time, let it go! The message will come to you when it’s meant to be received.

July 05, 2022My Story: How I Awakened My Intuition and Stepped Into My Greater Purpose
This podcast brings me so much joy, but sometimes what feels missing is YOU and your engagement and interaction alongside me. That’s why I love hearing from listeners and having the opportunity to answer your questions on the show. This week’s episode was inspired by a listener’s question, asking me to share my story of how I went from being an Ivy League psychologist and overwhelmed mother to talking to spirit guides for a living. Tune in as I share stories from my childhood and how everything changed when I took my first intuition development class. As you listen to my story, remember that we’re all unique and we each have our individual stories, all special and beautiful.

Key Takeaways:
From a young age I could feel other people’s feelings, knew things I had no logical way of knowing and tuned in to wisdom and guidance far beyond my years.
Spirituality wasn’t talked about in my family, but I always felt a deep connection to the divine even if I did not have a frame of reference for understanding what I was experiencing.
Like many children, I shut down aspects of my psychic knowing, because I was not supported in understanding my multisensory awareness.
When we set the intention to connect with our inner wisdom, our intuition blossoms effortlessly and quickly.
Everyone has intuitive gifts that are unique to them and their soul’s expression.
The more we raise our vibration and release what no longer serves us, the more space we create for our highest self to shine through.
Intuition is the gift that keeps on giving: the more you connect with your inner wisdom, the stronger it becomes.

June 28, 2022Am I Ready to Start Dating Again? A Reading with Hanna
The goal of a good intuitive reading is to get you out of your head, and reconnect with your own divine wisdom. In this Episode, single mom Hanna came looking for some guidance around returning to the world of dating after a 9-year hiatus.

Here are some highlights about what the guides shared and affirmed within Hanna:
By healing from a past relationship, we can move forward in new relationships from a position of strength and empowerment.
We are never responsible for someone else’s actions and perceptions. We are only responsible for ourselves.
Before we’re birthed as children, our soul chooses our parents and the life lessons that come with that.
A parent’s role is not to prevent anything bad from happening or to control what happens to their child, but to support them by making them feel seen, heard and loved.
Remember not to change yourself for anyone. Be positively and truly you, and the right person will see your light. If you have to change or be less of yourself for someone, they’re not the one.
If dating doesn’t feel joyful, take a break. Life is meant to be fun and enjoyable!
