In this episode, I sit down with quantum energy practitioner, educator, and leadership coach Valarie Waskom Roberts for a rich, grounded conversation about:* Anchor moments and how they shape our paths* Trusting your intuition after years of unlearning* The intersection of quantum energy, science, and spirituality* Homeschooling, motherhood, and creating a family culture* The invisible mental load women carry* Illness as a call toward alignment* What it means to truly feel good—and why that is the workValarie shares stories from her upbringing, her career in education, and her own soul’s awakening. We also talk about the science and soul of energy work, the hidden wisdom in parenting, and what it takes to step fully into your own truth.🌿 Learn more about Valarie and her offerings, including her 3-day Immersive Restoration, at Elevate Her Impact🌀 Follow her events and energy circles at Maplewood Studios if you’re local to Roanoke💫 And if you’re curious about the quantum work yourself, I can personally recommend her one-on-one sessionsI also mentioned this resource that inspired me to quit Adderall. 🎵 Music credit:Intro and outro music: Madre Ayahuasca by ArakawaUsed with permission.

It wasn’t just warmth or wisdom—it was presence. That kind of grounded presence that comes from walking through fire and learning how to listen deeply to the voice beneath all the noise.This episode felt less like an interview and more like two women sitting around a fire, comparing maps. We talk about how hard it is to trust yourself in a world that teaches you not to. We talk about the breakdown of systems—education, medicine, even religion—and how returning to our intuitive knowing feels less like rebellion and more like remembering.We talk about parenting and how our children mirror back the work we still need to do. We talk about how illness shows up when we’ve ignored the whispers too long. And we talk about healing—not as a checklist, but as a softening into what we already know.There’s a moment near the end where Valarie says, “Feeling good is the work.” And I felt that in my bones. Because so many of us—especially women—have spent our lives putting everyone else first, surviving on fumes, dismissing our own instincts, and calling it strength.This conversation is a gentle nudge toward something different. Something truer. Something freer.With love,SarahGoddess in Training is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
