What is kundalini energy, and what’s the difference between a kundalini awakening and a kundalini activation?

In this episode of Lessons To My Younger Self, Kundalini Educator Colleen Grady joins me for a grounded conversation on kundalini energy, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and spiritual safety in modern healing spaces.

Together, we explore:

Colleen shares insights from 7 years of studying kundalini energy through multiple modalities, which led her to create Kundalini Arts — a training designed to help others develop a safe and embodied relationship with kundalini energy and spiritual gifts.

Whether you’re new to spirituality, navigating a spiritual awakening, or curious about kundalini activation and energy healing, this episode offers a grounded and balanced perspective on transformation and inner work.

Inside each of us lives both the feminine and the masculine, two essential energies that long to be seen, valued and expressed. Too often, we lean into one and ignore the other, leaving us feeling unbalanced or incomplete. In this episode, we’ll explore how to reconnect with these parts of yourself, heal the places where one energy has been silenced, and discover the harmony that comes when both are honoured.

You will gain a deeper understanding of your inner feminine and masculine, notice how imbalance can show up in your life, and explore gentle ways to nurture both energies in daily life. As you listen, you will discover how integration brings peace, power and authenticity. When you honour both the feminine and masculine within, you create space to live from wholeness. This is where true balance and inner freedom are found.

This guided meditation is designed to help teenagers and the inner teen within us all connect with a sense of confidence, self acceptance, and healing. Together, we will create a safe space to release self doubt, honour past experiences, and step into a stronger, more compassionate version of yourself. Confidence grows when we learn to honour every part of ourselves past and present. This meditation helps you build trust within and heal the inner teen who still longs to be seen and valued.

In this episode, we dive into the essential but often overlooked topic of boundaries. Whether it’s in relationships, at work, or with yourself, boundaries are the invisible lines that protect your energy, time, and well-being. We’ll explore why boundaries can feel hard to set, the myths that keep us from creating them, and how honouring your limits actually leads to deeper respect and healthier connections.

Let’s be honest, most of us didn’t get the sex talk we actually needed. Especially if you grew up in a religious home or a community where sex was a no-go topic. In this episode, we’re chatting all things sex, safety, and pleasure - minus the shame and awkward vibes. It’s time to unlearn the cringe, ask the questions, and start having way better conversations (and sex). Come for the laughs, stay for the liberation.

Mercury in retrograde is something that usually trips people up, whether we recognise it or not - but what about when there is a retrograde parade happening (yes, that's really a thing!) - where several planets are in retrograde at the same time?! Tune into this week's episode where I share my understanding of what a retrograde is, how it can impact us energetically and how to reclaim your sovereignty when they happen.
