Colette Baron Reid brings her intuitive wisdom to the forefront, illuminating the transformative power of oracle cards in coaching. With a focus on co-creation and spiritual guidance, she invites listeners to embrace their intuition and embark on a journey of personal growth and enlightenment.

Colette Baron-Reid is a bestselling author, internationally acclaimed Oracle expert, spiritual intuitive, personal transformation thought leader, business strategist, artist, and educator.

In this episode Melinda and Colette talk about:

• Letting go of hustle culture to maintain connection with spirit
• Co-creating with spirit through prompts, guidance, and personal evolution to manifest desires

• The power of curiosity and oracle cards in revealing hidden insights
• Cards as a form of spiritual psychology, reflecting dominant energy through synchronicity
• Encouraging everyone to use cards to exercise intuition, like an "intuition gym"

Guest Bio:

Colette Baron-Reid (she/her) is a bestselling author, internationally acclaimed Oracle expert, spiritual intuitive, personal transformation thought leader, business strategist, artist, and educator. In other words, she’s unemployed. Just kidding, she’s the founder of The Oracle School Experience®, OraclePalooza® and the DreamQuest Platinum Mastermind. Oh, and did I mention she’s also a member of the Transformational Leadership Council? It’s like the Avengers, but for self-help gurus.

She’s also the host of “INSIDE THE WOONIVERSE”, a weekly podcast series where she talks to people much smarter than herself. With her infectious laugh and warm personality, Colette’s conversations are inviting, hilarious and always thought-provoking. Or at least she thinks so.

Author of 15 best-selling Oracle card decks, with over a million sold worldwide and 7 books published in 27 languages, Colette’s greatest joy is teaching people they can have a direct and personal dialog with the Universe to help them create their most fulfilling lives. 

This former EMI recording artist has been living clean and sober for the last 37 years. Her friends call her a nerdy mystical pirate, which is probably the coolest thing anyone has ever called her. She’s also really into quantum physics, creating and innovating ancient divination systems for the modern mystic, and helping business leaders thrive by discovering how to work with the spirit of their business. Just your average Tuesday.

When she’s not cuddling with her three Pomeranians, writing music, meditating, painting, or doing Zumba online, she’s juggling between YA fantasy fiction, Spanish lessons, and the latest research on Unified Field Theory. Because why not?
