Ep. 189. What if the most powerful manifestation tool you have is the relationship you have with yourself? In this episode, I sit down with Julie Heaton to explore the deep connection between self-love and the life you're calling in, and why believing you're worthy of what you want is where it all begins.

Together, we unpack the practical and the spiritual: from vision boards and affirmations to shadow work and inner child healing. Julie shares how doing the inner work isn't separate from manifestation, it is the work. We also get into the energy of abundance versus scarcity, and why learning to accept the present moment might be the shift that changes everything.

In this episode:

• ​Why self-love is the foundation of every intention you set
• ​How visualization and vision boards help anchor your goals
• ​Shadow work, inner child healing, and why the inner work matters
• ​Manifesting from abundance not desperation
• ​Accepting where you are as a starting point, not a setback

Ep. 183. In this episode, I sit down with Ara Trembly, a seasoned psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and counselor, who explores the significance of dreams and their connection to our subconscious mind. He emphasizes the importance of understanding dreams as messages from God and the unconscious, offering insights into how they can guide us in our daily lives.

Drawing on Jungian psychology (my favourite!) and a faith-based perspective through his book Dreaming God’s Way, Ara reveals how our dreams communicate hidden truths we often overlook, and how dream interpretation can unlock powerful personal growth and spiritual connection.

We cover:

• ​How the unconscious mind uses symbols to speak to us
• ​What the Bible and modern spirituality say about spiritual dreams and biblical dream interpretation
• ​Practical steps for recording, reflecting on, and interpreting your own dreams
• ​Why dream symbolism is deeply personal — the same symbol means something different for every person
• ​How hypnotherapy and dream work support personal healing and transformation

Whether you believe in dreams or not, this conversation would most definitely shape your perspective of them.
