It's time for a mug of cider, a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds and some spooky ghost stories to make the hairs on your arms stand up! In honor of Halloween, this week I'm joined by three incredible guests from right here in my hometown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who share their stories of the paranormal, the unexplained and the downright blood-chilling. Join us as we amble through the tales of visits from passed loved ones, eerie energetic events, a haunted jail and resentful house-ghosts! 

Strap on a costume, light up a jack-o-lantern and gather 'round your digital device for some good ol' fashioned storytelling! (*This episode is family friendly...mostly!) The stories here might creep you out, but I hope they also leave you with a little more compassion and reverence for those who've left this world and transitioned to the next. Remember: Our energy is never destroyed; it simply changes when we leave these fleshy meat-suits and resume a life of eternal light and love. 

Have a very happy, safe and joy-filled Halloween, everyone! And don't forget to honor your dearly departed on Nov. 1, All Saints Day (or Dia de los Muertos).

Nature symbols, in all their glory, are back again! This time, featuring the mighty woodpecker. Learn what these majestic creatures represent and why spotting one could suggest a whisper from the universe that's telling you, "Hang in there, kiddo. You got this!"

Plus, does the Law of Attraction really work? I share my personal experience with using it and why I believe it's harder than it sounds. In my experience, there's more work to do under the surface before we can really achieve Magical Magnetic Attractor Status. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. It does work, to a point at least. Huge thanks anyway to Esther Hicks and Abraham-Hicks for kicking off millions of peoples' journeys into spiritual and personal development though. They truly are responsible for getting a ton of us to a critical launching point where we can now embrace Divine Guidance and Source Wisdom. So, props to y'all. No disrespect there. (I signed up years ago to receive their daily quotes via email and I love getting them every day, and you should sign up, too!)

A lot of people are talking about how to do shadow work these days, but what is it? In this episode,  you'll learn why it's deeply transformational, healing self-reflection that is absolutely valuable and necessary for anyone seeking to grow and transcend on this human journey through life. 

Meanwhile, when you hear people talk about another buzz word, 'spiritual bypass,' they often do so in a way that kind of shames people who aren't endeavoring into this difficult work. 

That's why I've put these two topics together in one episode. Because skipping over the hard stuff in life and not facing the ugliness that lives inside us in order to make peace with it and release it is spiritual bypass. It's easy to sit down and journal your list of intentions or what you appreciate. And it's fun to create a vision board. But positive thinking doesn't get you to the deep, dark, gnarly place of shadow, which is desperate for your attention and love. The irony is, that deep self-love and unconditional acceptance of both the good and the bad inside each of us is what we're all yearning for. And they, in my opinion, are our keys that open the doorway to abundance and happiness. 

In this episode, I share some snippets of the shadow work I've done, how you can incorporate these practices into your life, ways you can begin to build a safe and loving relationship with the shadow inside you, and why it's so essential to stop trying to hide and shame her. 

PS - It's not too late to register for my FREE 3-part workshop and focus group!

What does it mean when you keep seeing the same series of numbers everywhere you look? Maybe the sequence 4-4-4 keeps showing up for you every time you look at the clock, check your odometer or see the price listed at the gas station. Could it have any significance? Actually, yes. Seeing the same repeated number pattern may be a sign from your spirit guides urging you to make a certain decision or to look at your life through a different lens! 

In this episode, you'll learn what angel numbers are, where they come from, and how they tie in with our daily lives and with the greater universe. Janeen covers the meaning behind some of the numbers most commonly seen in repeating patterns in everyday life. She also dips into some basics on Numerology, the Fibonacci Sequence and Voronoi diagrams--but don't worry, there won't be a math quiz at the end! 

Special shout-out to Rachel Grace of Grace Crystals & Academy, whose beautiful deck of Numerology cards were used alongside others as a resource for this episode. Order your deck of Numerology Cards by Rachel Grace here!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses a traumatic event which may be triggering for some listeners. 

*****

Everything has a vibration; people, animals, even inanimate objects. And so, too, does forgiveness carry its own energetic frequency. The energy of forgiveness, when offered in full authenticity to someone who's done you wrong, is immensely powerful and can be extremely healing for people who are yearning to move past old wounds and proceed with their lives by telling a different story--not one which erases history or denies any wrongdoing, but one that vanquishes victimhood and makes room for the power that's always been there, as well as for new growth, more strength and wider expansion.

As long as you're ready to really and truly forgive.

In this episode, Janeen tells a story from childhood of a traumatic assault which has haunted her for years. But, she explains, she's received new guidance for what to do about it. Hear how she recently channeled a message of forgiveness straight from Source, and took it as divine intelligence for what she needed to do in order to finally heal from an event that created repeated triggers 35 years on.

She'd never even once considered forgiving her attackers all these years; not until now. Learn how the possibility of forgiveness can open up a new perspective, generate new questions that have never been asked, and create an enormous sense of relief in you, too, if you're grappling with an old hurt that's caused anger, resentment, the label of victimhood, or contempt for others. 

Get helpful tips on how to process the trauma that lives inside your body, including suggestions for vagus nerve toning, shaking, and prayer. But of course, always consult your physician or mental health practitioner to guide your trauma recovery journey. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you can call the National Sex Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 for 24-hour support.

Thank you for sharing this space today. Our connection was Meant To Be.

We're back, and though the furniture's been rearranged around here, we've also gotten into alignment. Better still, we continue on our quest to understand how each of us can deepen our connections -- to ourselves, to our loved ones, and to this magical world around us!  We're so glad you're here for the renewed, renamed, reimagined, rebuilt show we're calling "Meant To Be." This is the place we'll talk about all things mystical! In this first, introductory episode of the new show, Janeen shares the transformation the past few months have brought, explaining how studying and experimenting with Human Design has helped her view her life through a new, empowering lens. She shares what it's like being a Human Design Manifestor and how knowing that's her Type has been liberating and validating. She explains how she's working to overcome her shadow, heal old wounds, embrace her inner brat and solve a ton of her life's mysteries that've been nagging her for decades. She gets into the story of her childhood recurring nightmare about her death in a past life, how she's experimented with Tarot and Ouija boards, how she's practicing meditation and learning about epigenetics and more--all topics we'll get into here on future episodes. And she shares insights into how you, too, can start using the system of Human Design to uncover the real you to let your radiance shine bright!  For more on understanding your Human Design, subscribe or follow "Meant To Be."

Springtime is a season for expansion, renewal and regrowth. As such, the time has come for Women Friends to undertake a renewal process of its own. Join Janeen for this very special solo episode where she shares a big announcement on some major changes to the trajectory of the show. Hear how she envisions a more expansive plan for the future and aims to include more discussions on personal development, spirituality, the metaphysical realm, Human Design as a tool for deeper self-awareness, and so much more! 

Learn how she's taking what could have been a major setback and is turning it, instead, into a sweet opportunity to grow into alignment. Find out why she's decided to change the conversation around friendship as its own, isolated topic, and is shifting toward discussing precisely how and why we humans connect with, first, ourselves, and second, to one another. We'll be taking a hiatus to strategize, rebrand and expand, so please stay tuned and subscribe so you know when brand new episodes of the new-and-improved show air!
