Mind Witchery

If ever there were a moment for Mind Witchery, it’s now, because how we think influences how we feel and how we act. We hope this episode will meet you where you are, and help you step fully into power and purpose as you choose where and how to proceed through this incredibly challenging time.

It's All Magic: 365 Reflections on Astrology, Tarot, and Manifestation, by Aliza Kelly https://linktr.ee/allmagic365 

When you’ve outgrown your circumstance, 

a simple yet powerful shift can help you align your actions

with your evolving values and desires for a more authentic life.

I use this mindset shift personally and with my clients. 

Let me show you.

Make Magic:

To embrace the power of your agency and choice, reflect on 

areas in your life where you feel done tolerating certain behaviors or situations. 

Replace "I can't" with "I am unwilling to"

and notice the shift in your mindset and power.

This episode is about the liminal space we find ourselves in when we’re in the process of becoming.

I talk about the temptation to maintain the status quo, the importance of trusting in our desires, and the power of leaning wholly into our ever-changing selves.

I hope this episode gives you comfort, reassurance, or reminds you that you can trust that the key to clicking back into place is to just keep becoming who we are.

Witchy Business is my monthly group coaching experience to help entrepreneurs cultivate the courage and openness necessary for integrity in this personal growth crucible called entrepreneurship.

Make Magic:

Take comfort in knowing you're not alone. 

Trust in your desires and intuitions, and allow yourself to embrace the lightness of becoming. 

Reach out for support if you need it, and remember, the only way out is through. 

Keep becoming who you are meant to be.

Our mind is so powerful. 

It has the ability to create magic and possibility anywhere in our lives. 

To harness this power more easily, we need a little mental workout regimen.

Let’s strengthen our mental muscles and manifest our desires. 

Let me show you how.

Mentioned:

Everyday Channeling is three live magical sessions beginning May 18, 2024. Register here: https://buy.stripe.com/3cscOO4WMeq273GeV2

Make Magic:

To unlock the power of your mind, manifest your desires, 

and shift toward possibility, practice counterbalancing your negativity bias 

and integrate gratitude and mindfulness rituals like Everyday Channelling.

Sometimes, our internal growth outpaces our external circumstances. 

This is especially felt when the changes we want to make in our lives feel so so big. 

I’ve been there! I want to remind us that we have more power than we realize. 

No matter how big our life changes are. 

No matter how far away our dreams might seem. 

We can nurture the desires emerging from our personal growth spurt.

my powerful daily practice to nourish our most abundant and vivacious life.

Ever felt like you're going through a growth spurt, but for your soul? You might feel tired all the time, hungry for more in life, and even a bit awkward. Whether initiated by ourselves or by the events in our lives, our personal growth spurt challenges us to shed old identities and embrace new possibilities. It urges us to invest in what truly aligns with our evolving selves. We can see ourselves through these changes with extra care, understanding, and nourishment.

Make Magic:

Embrace your personal growth spurt with compassion and curiosity. Recognize the signs, prioritize self-care, and invest in what resonates with your evolving self to navigate this transformative period with grace, love, and intention.

The most empowered doings come from the place where we feel most integrated. And while society prioritizes productivity and doings above all else, I believe our sense of being is just as important. When we take time to honor our needs, we attune to our most aligned selves for our most potent doings.

Mentioned:

Witchy Business is my weekly group coaching container for established entrepreneurs moving their lives and businesses in a whole-self-honoring direction. Get support around evolving your marketing and offers while also cultivating the courage and openness to do business in a more countercultural and sustainable way.

Make Magic:

To nourish our most aligned, potent actions, embrace the countercultural practice of pausing human doing to honor human being. Trust that whole-self honoring will lead to more evolutionary actions and a more integrous way of living.

I'm excited to welcome Ashley Trabue — artist and stellar human all around — for a soul-nourishing conversation about the transformative power of embracing our body through art. We journey from self-criticism to self-appreciation to reclaim our own narrative. Get ready for a delightful blend of wisdom, humor, and raw authenticity that will leave you inspired and ready to embrace your own luminosity.

Mentioned: 

Ashley Trabue is a queer, multi-disciplinary artist and educator. You can find their work here, on IG @ashleytrabue, and at Luminous In Taos as our guest retreat co-host where you can become a work of art.

Join Natalie Miller and Ashley Trabue for a week of soulful exploration and connection at this summer’s Luminous In Taos in New Mexico. Embrace your luminosity and reclaim your narrative – it's time to shine! 

Make Magic: 

Through artist self-appreciation, we can experience a profound personal transformation, a shift in our self-perception, and foster healing and connection to our inherent beauty.

Cultural norms encourage us to diminish our light, to hide it, and filter it into its most benign form. But like a diamond, we are sparkly and multi-faceted contributing to our luminosity. We shine most brightly when we own and love and show all of the different parts of ourselves. This spell will help you nurture and embrace all facets of yourself for deeper levels of fulfillment and authenticity.

Feminist Leadership Coach and Mentor, Elijah Selby, joins me in a candid conversation on navigating the complexities of the coaching and marketing world. Through collaboration, trust, and shared responsibility, we can break free from conventional coaching and marketing norms that rely on the matrix of control, manipulation, and fear. Our collective growth and empowerment depends on meaningful transformation where vulnerability, curiosity, and mutual respect thrive.
