August 10, 2021Talking Signs with Fern Ronay
Do you believe in signs from the universe? This week’s guest, Fern Ronay, feels so strongly about signs that she created a podcast, and has authored two books on the topic. In this episode Fern shares her own personal experiences with signs, as well as some incredible sign stories from her podcast.
Key takeaways:
Fern shares her own major personal experiences with signs and how they have given her faith that our deceased loved ones are still with us. She explains how we can even receive signs from passed loved ones who we never met. (4:00)
Fern shares about how her deceased grandfather supports her from the other side by leaving her pennies. During one especially frustrating late night at her job, she opened a drawer looking for a lost stapler and discovered it was full of pennies! She took it as a message that everything was going to be alright and to ‘just keep going.’ To this day, whenever Fern needs to know ‘everything is going to be alright’ a penny appears, often in a surprising way. (6:00)
Once you become aware of signs and are open to receiving them, they will start to appear more frequently. The important part is to tune into how you feel. You will have an inner knowing when something is truly a sign. (7:30)
It can be easy at first to dismiss the appearance of a sign as “ just a coincidence.” But if you pay careful attention you may notice that signs will continue to present themselves until you finally have enough evidence to convince you that they are real.
Victoria shares her experience of asking to receive a sign of dolphins and how they began to appear in various ways. (9:00)
Signs can help us make sense of the confusing parts of human experience. For example, signs from our loved ones validate that they are still with us, even after they have left their physical bodies. (14:00)
Fern shares a special story of one of her guests who received signs from her best friend’s husband who passed on 9/11. One time she was driving on the highway with the top down and smelled his cigar smoke. Then she felt like he was speaking to her. Finally, She got out of her car to go into the DMV and was handed the number 911 as her ticket to be helped. At that moment, she knew for sure he was with her. (14:30)
Fern and I discuss her writing process. There is no right or wrong way to write or create, it is what resonates and works best for you. For example, some writers fly by the seat of their pants and work it out later while others are planners and like outlines and everything organized before writing. (23:30)

August 03, 2021The Trap of Comparison
Are you in the habit of comparing yourself to others? Comparison is one of those common habits of mind that we all fall prey to now and again. And it can cause so much unnecessary suffering! In this episode we discuss strategies to combat the trap of comparison so we can live with more ease, joy and grace.

We compare because the egoic mind gets its sense of value through individualization and the sense of being lesser or better than someone else. Comparison does not make sense in the bigger picture because we are all unique individuals on our own paths, so we will always be comparing apples to oranges. (4:30)

As we learn to embrace our uniqueness and individuality while also understanding that we are all connected, we will naturally find more peace, love and joy in our lives. (8:00)

Comparison is a habit and the first step to shifting this is to begin to notice where, how and why it is showing up in your life. We have the ability to change the story around what is triggering us. The important thing is to not judge what comes up and sit with our feelings because when we resist, we give those thoughts and feelings even more energy. (13:30)

We can honor the gifts in ourselves and others without comparing at all. For example, we can say ‘wow that person is a beautiful dancer’ without adding ‘and I am such a clutz.’ (17:30)

July 28, 2021A Conversation with Celebrity Psychic Laura Michelle Powers
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a celebrity? Are their lives completely charmed, or do they have the same kinds of problems as the rest of us?" Joining us today on the podcast is celebrity psychic, Laura Michelle Powers. Laura has been featured on many podcasts, magazines, and media outlets. She is also a podcast host, author, actress, creative entrepreneur, and much more. Laura uses her experience connecting with the angelic realm with angels, spirits, and other energy beings to help her clients better understand and change their life. I am excited to share her wisdom with you!

Key takeaways:
At the end of the day, celebrities are human beings, just like you and me. They have struggles and things they are working on. Laura shares that a lot of the themes that come up in her sessions are the same no matter who the client is. (3:30)

A lot of creatives tend to be very intuitive and empathic and because of that, energetic boundaries are a common issue, especially for those in the spotlight. (4:30)

When people are following the path of their intuition, it's the little baby steps that are important. In the beginning of the journey, you don't have the information or the awareness yet to see the whole picture of your soul. (14:00)

Whether we recognize it or not, the creative process is often informed by channeling and tapping into our intuition, our guides, the energies of the universe and/or our past lives. (21:00)

We are all powerful creators. The act of writing down our ideas and desires, helps to manifest them into reality. When we give voice to our feelings, it can help us begin to shift and transform on our healing journey. (24:00)

Creativity is expressing the magic of your soul. Although mostly associated with the arts, creativity comes in so many forms from organizing, inventing, entrepreneurship, problem-solving and so much more. (29:00)

July 20, 2021Finding Your Creative Flow
Have you ever been so absorbed in what you are doing that you lose track of space and time and are simply swept away in the current of your own creativity? This is the experience of being in the creative flow. In this episode, we discuss how to get into your creative flow and some of the ways in which we can get stuck.
Flow is our natural state. But when we get stuck in our minds and start trying to figure everything out, we can become disconnected from the deep flow of our creativity and life. (1:00)
In order to align with the great flow of life and creative force, we have to learn to let go and align with our highest self and create from that place. Letting go of the ‘shoulds’ and the idea ‘this has to be perfect is key. (5:00)
Joy is a big part of the creative process. Society often teaches us to block the joy that is naturally within us. Watching children and animals play is a great example of how to just be in joy. (8:30)
The purpose is about sharing the gifts of your soul and expressing your true nature while here in human form. It is not necessarily what we achieve in the outside world. (11:00)
A great exercise to help get into the flow is to “brain dump” and write for five or so minutes allowing whatever wants to come through without editing. (15:00)
Some other ways to get into the flow include: Dancing to your favorite music and just allowing your body to move whatever way it wants, and painting without having a plan or specific intention other than to just let the brush move where it wants to go. (18:00)
We are creating all the time and learn from the process whether we like the final result or not. (20:00

July 13, 2021The Magic of Tapping with Kate Winch
In this episode, I am excited to share the magic of Kate Winch, who I had the opportunity of working with at a workshop I attended several years ago. Kate Winch is a transformational speaker, EFT expert, Qoya dance teacher, and intuitive counselor. Join us as she shares her journey and all about EFT (tapping) with us.

Key takeaways from this episode:
Negative emotions get stored in the body creating a disruption in our energy systems. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), aka “tapping,” works with the energy meridians allowing us to remove stuck energy and get the energy flowing again.
Tapping is a simple and accessible technique that is really empowering because anyone can learn to do it. You simply tap on a series of meridian points, while repeating key phrases: starting with what you would like to release and ending with what you would like to experience instead.
Tapping allows us to honor our feelings and love and accept ourselves exactly as we are without judgment. Tapping is also a quick and effective way to calm yourself down when triggered.
Matrix Reimprinting is a deeper level of EFT that works with the energy of the inner child to help resolve childhood wounds and replace them with adult wisdom.
Unresolved issues will bring up feelings of anxiety or tension in the body. When a past issue or trauma has been resolved, the memory will no longer trigger a strong emotional response.
Kate leads us through a quick round of tapping. link below to some tapping video resources from Kate.

July 06, 2021Losing Your Mind
You are not your mind. Yet, so many of us on this human journey, get so lost in the illusion of mind that we forget that we are more than the habitual chatter of our mind. As someone who literally got a PhD studying the mind, disidentifying with the mind has been an interesting and sometimes challenging journey. In this episode, we explore the limits of mind, and how to lose your mind without growing crazy.
The mind is a beautiful gift and a part of the human experience. The key is to be able to integrate and work with the energy of the mind without fully identifying with it.
We develop our minds over time through interactions, experiences and beliefs systems we learn from family, community, and era we are living in. The mind allows us to navigate our human experience, but we want to make sure we don’t get lost in that and forget that we are a spirit having a human experience.
When we have a spiritual awakening, we begin to have awareness that we are not the contents of our mind and bring in more of our spiritual self. As we awaken, it’s important to stay grounded and be able to still function in the human world.
Working with the energy of the mind means recognizing that we are the observer of our thoughts and not the thoughts themselves.
Ways we learn to disidentify with the mind include: meditation, becoming familiar and aware of your mind and the stories that are playing, and taking time to do things that allow your mind to go soft.

June 29, 2021Breaking the Habit of Complaining
Are you a chronic complainer? That was me, years ago, before I learned how to free myself from the habit of finding fault with the present moment. In this episode, we discuss how to let go of complaining and learn to make peace with what is.
Many of us are addicted to complaining and finding fault with the present moment. This can lower our vibration and keep us from experiencing the joy of the present moment. (2:00)
The first step to breaking any habit is to become aware of when you are doing it. It’s important not to judge yourself or your behaviors, but rather to simply notice where you are complaining and gently shift to more empowering thoughts. (4:30)
There is a difference between complaining and feeling your feelings. The complaint is finding fault with the present moment and typically about trying to control. When we complain, we disempower ourselves. (6:30)
A complaint is a trick of the mind that separates us from the magic of the present moment. Practicing mindful awareness will help us to begin to break the habit of complaining. We can’t control the habitual workings of the mind but we can stop feeding the voice of complaint and focusing our attention elsewhere. (11:00)
It is natural and normal to have preferences. And there will always be circumstances that we prefer over others. Complaint, only comes in, when we begin to focus on how the situation “should” be, rather than how it is. (14:30)

June 22, 2021Exploring the Gifts of King Salomon with Julie Grimm
In this episode, I am joined by Julie Grimm who is a guide and healer in the Lineage of King Salomon. I met Julie a while ago when I was on her podcast and as we were wrapping up I received a little tap on the shoulder from my guides and knew I had to share her wisdom with the Intuitive Connection audience.

Key takeaways:
Our intuition can be experienced as those little taps that are leading us to this perfect path that we didn’t even know existed. That’s part of the daily magic we can experience.
Julie shares about having shut down her intuition, not believing in magic, and living boxed in until she had a powerful spiritual awakening in India when all of her plans got tossed away.
We look to science to help us understand these deep questions of life and unfortunately, the current model is split from spirituality. This can leave us feeling like something is missing. Thousands of years ago, spirituality and science were not separate. King Salomon was what we would call today a metaphysician.
King Salomon wanted to make sure all the wisdom and knowledge from all over the world was protected and not forgotten for thousands of years and created a mystery school. Prior to his reign, mystical teachings were only transmitted by word of mouth.
Julie explains that after her initial awakening, she had the feeling of, “oh what do I do now?” The mystery school is a highly structured system that helps facilitate spiritual growth and awakening. This allowed Julie to continue to flourish with support.
You have to have an open heart and be willing to see the mysteries of the universe in order to receive answers. The tools of the mystery school are meditation, prayer, and ritual.
