  • Should vs Alignment

    "I should be further in my career by now." "I should be married/have babies by this age." "We've been together this long, we should be married by now." Any of these sound familiar? Whether you are receiving pressure regarding where you "should" be in life at any given time by a direct person in your life - like mom/ partner/ friends, or your ego is feeling the general societal should pressure imposed by the patriarchy throughout time, the pressure to be where you "should" be is something many of us battle with. So what's the difference between external 'shoulds,' contrast that sparks manifestation, or aligning to your needs, wants and desires? How can you determine the difference between the 'shoulds' and soulful alignment?

    In this episode, Whitney and Ariel explore how we have worked on releasing the 'shoulds' and living through alignment - connecting to our inner truth and guidance in leading our own life, and helping others connect to theirs. 


    What are you thinking you 'should' be doing at this point of your life that doesn't feel in alignment to how you feel and your alignment? How have you moved through contrasting shoulds? How did leaning into a should v alignment affect your journey? When have you braved alignment and how did that feel? Share your reactions with us!

  • Songs of Alignment
    What songs help you get in flow? What songs have helped you through a life transition? Or in manifesting something or calling in a romantic connection? In this episode, Whitney and Ariel take you through a musical journey of songs that have connected, aligned, or moved them through different points in their lives. Warning: there is some very off-key intermittent singing, mostly by Ariel ;) We have compiled all of these songs together in a "Messy Path - Songs of Alignment" playlist on Spotify which you can listen to using the link below. Whitney also mentions several Spotify playlists of her own - links below. We want to know some of your songs of alignment! Next time you're listening to one, take a screen shot and tag us in a story or send it to us in a DM, or comment on our Instagram posts! And if you have a little story that goes along with the song, we'd love to hear that too!

  • Double Inner Voice Conversation
    For this week's episode, Whitney and Ariel tried something entirely new! We started the recording after a 5-minute meditation, connecting into ourselves, then began talking and responding from that tranquil, connected place inside ourselves - with each other! So yes, this was like a double inner voice conversation, where we both stayed in a tranquil connected space, most of the time with our eyes closed, or breathing down in fo the responses as we went along! Join us in this very flowy conversation about relationships and business! 
    Our big takeaway form doing this exercise is just how important and easy it is to connect into yourself. I have not edited out the pauses in our conversation, so any lag is from us breathing in, tuning in to our inner voices for the response. We really enjoyed doing this and want to show you the benefits as well!
    We'll often use exercises similar to this with clients. If you want a glimpse of what it is like to work with Ariel + Whitney, or simply to join in circle with other womxn, consider joining us for the next Messy Path Women's Circles, held around the full moons throughout this summer.

  • Good to Great

    Why is it harder to go from 'good' to 'great', than it is from 'bad to good'? Whitney and Ariel received this question from a listener and we took off with it! Often this is described as our "upper limiting beliefs" and can come as quite a shock when we feel like "we've been doing the work" and now come to yet another block in our road. As we process through in the episode, this is all just part of that messy path of the human growth experience - understanding and navigating through all the bumps, turns, and rocks along the journey. We delve into mindset, manifestations, resistance, and tools to help process through!

    Share your thoughts! Message us - do you think it's harder to go from 'good to great' than 'bad to good'? Where are you experiencing 'upper limiting beliefs' in your life? What have you done to help move through them? What tips or guidance from the episode did you find useful and supportive? Do you disagree with us about anything? Let us know! We'd love to hear your thoughts and send us further questions!

  • The Mess of Manifesting

    When learning about manifesting a la Abraham Hicks, it often sounds easy and simple. Step 1-2-3-4 *click* manifestation received! But the reality is often Much messier than that. The messiness can be quite discouraging. But it can also be very expansive! In this episode, Whitney and Ariel discuss their experiences, tools, tips, and insights into navigating the messiness of manifesting!

    Both Whitney and Ariel are both open to take 1:1 clients!

  • Signs: Trail Markers from the Universe; an Exercise in Trust

    Following up from our earlier episode on calling in "signs" from the Universe, messages to help connect and guide you from the ethereal plane, we expand on further questions and experiences in what it's like recognizing and working with signs.

    What happens if you're not receiving the signs that you want? What do the signs mean? I don't know that I'm getting any signs, how do I recognize them? What does receiving signs mean? Who or what is giving me signs?

    Whitney and Ariel really enjoy these conversations! We expand further on some of our big sign experiences, what our process has been like in trusting our intuition to identify and receive signs and guidance, and so many great metaphors - like the cairn in the episode image!

  • Akashic Record Reading
    Recently, Ariel has been receiving more and more messages to 'work in the light' which has lead her to learning to read the Akashic Records. However, the Akashic Records, which hold all the information from our soul's journey, can be an overwhelming experience. In this episode, Whitney, who has previously learned how to access the Akashic Records, delivers a reading for Ariel. We also have a conscious chat about their experiences in the Records, and processing 'downloads' or intuitive guidance. Although this conversation is a reading for Ariel, we think the the metaphors and processing information will be interesting for all to hear. Hope you enjoy!
    We'd like to host a Q&A episode soon! So if you have any questions about us, our practices, manifesting, relationships, energy work, career balance... any of the things we talk about - please send us a message with your question! You can direct message either of us on Instagram or by email following our information below! 
    Thanks for listening!
