Love and relationship coach Macy Matarazzo shares her journey of feeling too weird for love and finally finding the perfect person for her after age 40. Like many people, she secretly felt like “maybe who I am is too much.” She developed a variety of ways to move past subconscious mental and spiritual blocks like this and then quit her fancy corporate job to start sharing what she learned with more people.

Local Philly-area Medium Amanda Linette Meder sat down with me this week and shares all about her work as a medium. She tells a story of one of her most profound experiences communicating with the deceased and talks about the widely unknown history of mediumship and witchcraft, why mediumship is so stigmatized, the importance of being present, lessons learned from communicating with spirits, and advice for tapping into and deepening your own psychic gifts.

Day Schildkret is the artist and teacher who created Morning Altars. If you're struggling with a lack of inspiration, feeling lost, feeling uncreative, or feeling a lot of fear you need to listen to this episode. Day offers so much wisdom on courting purpose, making meaning, & living with fear.

Root chakra affirmations and yoga poses for grounding and centering.

Coach Ruby Fremon shares how she went from a life of chaos to a life of love, why everything she has experienced is a gift, why ownership is everything, what self-love is and why it matters, serving yourself first, how to stop playing small, overcoming fear in entrepreneurship, how she finds inspiration, learning to be patient with yourself, how spirituality affects her life, her creative process, and more.

Key takeaways:

"I created this. Every single decision, every single choice that I've made in my life led me to that rock bottom moment." 

"The moment you realize you've created your whole life, the bad parts, the good parts, and the gray shades in between is the moment everything changes. It's the moment you get your magnetic, confident, bold-as-fuck power back. It's the moment you reframe your self-worth, and it's the moment your future turns out better than your dreams."

"Too often we just glaze by our lives and we don't really pay attention to what it is that we truly enjoy and are happy with."

"It's so important not just to honor your soul but also the physical vessel that encapsulates it."

"Fear is a sign that you're challenging yourself."

In this conversation Ellysa speaks to fear, intuition, creativity, being okay with what you're feeling, finding exactly what she needed in nature, stepping outside her comfort zone, trusting the journey, lessons learned from the trail, letting herself evolve, and how to be exactly where you are, with a powerful sense of vulnerability and authenticity. 

One of my favorite takeaways: "It hit me this morning that everything I'm surrounded by right now are things that I chose...I love that feeling, that richness. I think that really makes me feel alive, when you realize that what you have surrounded yourself with are things that you really care about and that you really love so much. It gives you a kind of freedom."
