Mindfully Millennial

On today's episode, we're talking to Krista Williams co-host of the Almost 30 Podcast about her journey to becoming a Reiki Master. When we typically think of a Reiki Master or Reiki Healer, we usually think of someone who is providing a service to someone else, but Krista’s version of healing is for herself. She believes you can’t heal someone else until you heal yourself. Krista uses Reiki as a way to provide self-love healing and we love that form of self-care. 
 
 We get into: 

• Krista’s journey to healing through Reiki and how she applies the practice to her life
• Reiki healing and psychic communication with animals (yeah, you read that right)
• How she uses her energy to communicate in her personal relationships and with her community 

If you haven’t already, check out the Almost 30 Podcast to learn more about Krista and connect with her on Instagram.

On today's episode, we're talking to Katherine Healey, a Depth Hypnosis Practitioner and Applied Shamanic Counselor. Katherine shares her experience and journey to becoming a a Certified Depth Hypnosis Practitioner and how she helps her clients find their way on their own healing journeys. 

We get into: 

• Katherine's process in discovering Depth Hypnosis and Shamanic practice 
• How Depth Hypnosis works 
• Angels, guides, and inner wisdom 
• How to tap in to your inner knowing
• Dream interpretation

Today's episode features Marivette Navarrete, the fearless female behind The Mujerista - an online community dedicated to empowering Hispanic and Latina women. Marivette shares the story of why she created The Mujerista, how her mission has expanded over the years and the different ways she's bringing communities together. For so long, Marivette looked for a space where she felt a sense of belonging and community but noticed there was something missing. From this, she decided to create a space where Latina voices could not only be heard, but amplified. Since launching The Mujerista, Marivette has been featured in Forbes magazine, has interviewed A-List Latina celebrities, and she's created a brick and mortar space to cultivate community even more. 
We'll get into: 

• How Marivette identified a problem and created her own solution 
• The importance of amplifying Hispanic and Latina women's stories 
• How to create and cultivate a community

Today's episode features a conversation with Sarah Farris, an energy work and Reiki practitioner. Sarah is a gifted intuitive who taps into her client's energy to help articulate personality traits, free up stagnant energy that builds up when we don’t allow ourselves to process emotions or when other factors prevent us from releasing energy. She has worked with clients over the phone from all over the world to understand their baseline energy, spiritual energy, how they communicate energetically and what might be blocking their energy in the present. 

On this episode we get into: 

• What energy work is and how Sarah uses intuition to help her clients
• How Sarah channels a client's energy
• Britt's reading and how she needs harmony in her life to balance her energy
• Ally's reading and how she gets a lot of her energy from relationships with other people
• How Ally and Britt's energies are parallels of each other

On today's episode, we're excited to be back with astrologer Hannah Siddiqui. Hannah is more than just an astrologer, she's a talented photographer, writer, and a breathwork and meditation teacher but today's episode is all about natal charts but this time with a twist. We're welcome our husbands, Gordon and Artemus on today's episode to sit with us while we each get a side-by-side sinastry reading. Synastry readings are couple's readings where Hannah will look at each couple's charts side-by-side to see how our charts reflect our relationship's dynamics. 
On this episode we talk about: 

• Ally & Gordon's overlapping moons and what it means for their relationship
• Why synastry readings aren't about matchmaking 
• How side-by-side readings can help you identify areas of improvement in your relationship
• Britt & Artemus' conjunct ascendants and how it brought them together
• Mars, Mercury, and love languages 

You can learn more about Hannah on her Instagram @theroadtohannah and book a natal chart reading with her here. 

On today's episode, we're talking all about clean, non-toxic beauty and skincare. After attending Credo's Clean Beauty Summit, we left inspired and more motivated than ever to double check the ingredients for any products that go on our skin. In this episode, we share all about how we made the swap from a dirty makeup bag to a clean one. We also share some new-to-us finds that we discovered and learned more about at the Credo event. 

We'll talk more about: 

• What clean, non-toxic means in the beauty industry
• How we made the swap from dirty to clean 
• Our clean beauty favorites and holy grails 
• New ingredients and products we discovered that we can't wait to try 
• Why cleaning up skincare, makeup, haircare and cleaning products are important 
• Where to start if you're looking to make a clean swap

This episode was not sponsored but a few of our favorite places to shop for clean beauty include, Credo Beauty, Follain and The Detox Market.

We talked about apps that help you measure just how "dirty" specific products are. One of our favorites is called Think Dirty.

We are beyond excited to introduce you to today’s guest, Nikki Novo. Nikki is a spiritual mentor and medium. We swear, Nikki is not of this earth. She has a truly incredible ability to read people. Her method is to work through a client’s charka system, looking for blocks and opportunities for healing and growth. We both had individual readings with Nikki and can only describe the experience as one of the most profound and healing conversations we’ve ever had. After Ally’s reading she was texting Britt “OMG OMG OMG. That was life changing!”

On this episode we discuss: 

• How Nikki found her calling. From working in the publishing industry and starting a dating blog to giving dating advice through her psychic abilities.
• What to expect in a session. Nikki helps her clients who are looking for dating advice, a spiritual mentor or answering a question about yourself.
• Ally’s reading. Her anxieties about balancing life and work with motherhood.
• Britt’s reading. Finding her purpose through her career and how Nikki’s advice has manifested since their session. PLUS BRITT’S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

On today's solo episode with Britt, she's opening up about the moment she learned that her career didn't define her self-worth. Like a true Aries with a south node in Virgo, Britt shares why career is so important to her and what it felt like to realize that her self-worth extended far beyond her work life. She talks about her career journey, her saturn return and what she learned along the way.

You'll hear more about: 

• How she started her career in the Bay Area
• The 5-year plan 
• Why the promotion she hoped for wasn't what she wanted
