Journey to Authenticity

I'm so excited that next week's episode will mark 6 months of weekly podcasting!

Welcome to another guest episode on the Journey to Authenticity podcast!

Today I'm interviewing Sabrina Mabel Nicholson, Multimodal Legacy Coach for Empathic Leaders.  Sabrina and I met through an online coaching program in 2021 and have been supporting each other's soul work ever since!

Sabrina says it best at the end of the episode: this conversation is all about reclaiming the witch, embracing the power of light & dark, and releasing identities that are no longer aligned with the legacy you're here to create.

In addition, we discuss...

• Healing the witch wound & coming out of the spiritual closet (this episode is literally a throat chakra healing)
• Inner child dreams and desires that led to unhealthy relationship dynamics in the past
• When your dream comes true but you find yourself asking "is this really what I want?"
• What activated Sabrina into her Journey to Authenticity
• Her self-discovery journey through many modalities, uncovering past lives, and unlocking spiritual abilities
• You get to choose what identities you embody and which ones you release
• The importance of self-acceptance, especially for the parts of ourselves we feel shame around or try to avoid the most
• Her experience with addiction, shame, self-love, and relationships
• Inspiration to claim what you are available for and close the door on karmic cycles
• How to live your legacy right now

Be sure to listen with an open heart and mind so that you can receive the guidance you need for the next step on your unique journey!

If you would like to connect or work with Sabrina, you can find her on Instagram @sabrinamabelcoaching!

As spiritual, heart-centered beings, we are being called to embrace our power as CO-CREATORS.

I recently received a cosmic download about the process of co-creation and I feel a deep calling to share this wisdom, so that's exactly what I'm doing today!  This podcast and this specific episodes are perfect examples of co-creation, which I elaborate on in the episode.

In this episode, I share...

• How my word of the year led to this download about co-creation
• Why I believe that co-creation is the new manifestation (we're going through a spiritual paradigm shift as our consciousness expands)
• The similarities and differences between manifestation and co-creation
• The cyclical process of co-creation
• Why ESSENCE over FORM is a key component of co-creation
• What is your job and what you can delegate to the Universe
• My co-creation initiation ritual
• And more!

You will learn how to be ambitious in an aligned, authentic, and deeply spiritual way! 

This is how ambitious witches will THRIVE in the new paradigm.

My mission for 2024 and beyond is to hold space for people to co-create.  If you feel the call, here are the options to take this work deeper and receive support in your co-creation process:

1. Join the Sacred Days Community
2. Commit to CO-CREATE: An annual Co-Creation Coaching & Spiritual Mentorship experience to bring your dreams to life in the most aligned and authentic way!
3. Check out the Cosmic Creatrix Masterclass
