We have the power to create our own reality through our thoughts and beliefs. How you can manifest and where to start!

Create your vision and dream BIG! Nothing is too big for the universe, get clear and be specific!

Can we really manifest our dream guy/relationship (listen out for the story of when we both manifested a guy and forgot to add one thing on the list...lots of LOLS!!!)

What blocks us from receiving what we want to manifest and an in-depth chat about shadow work.

Masturbating, manifesting and orgasms – (yes please!!)

The greatest thing Chloe has manifested (the answer may surprise you)

December 19, 2022Episode 14 - Single at Christmas? This one is for you!
It is Christmas time and for some of us, this may bring about feelings that we are missing out on that relationship that didn’t happen for us during the year and we have to put up with the questions from our family over Christmas dinner about our relationship status!
In this episode, I wanted to share some tips on how to get through this time of the year:
Shift your focus to your achievements in all the other areas of your life where you have kicked ass!

When a negative or low vibrational thought arises, ask yourself this question to shift your mindset and have you feeling inspired instead!

My “go to” response when you may be asked “Why are you still single?”

If you find yourself alone at Christmas, I share some ideas to help you connect with others.....*hugs

November 29, 2022Episode 13 - If they wanted to, they would
Have you ever wondered if someone is interested in you after a date or thought to yourself, should I text him or said "no, he should text me first!"
The phrase "If they wanted to, they would" is circulating around the dating world at the moment and I felt I needed to share my thoughts on this. Listen to hear:
How this phrase can be used and made relevant in other aspects of our lives, would it change the meaning of it?

Ways someone can show you their commitment and investment in spending time with you.

Tips on ways to calm your thoughts after a date with someone (other thinkers, this one is for you. I got you!)

Know your values! Do their values align with yours?

October 17, 2022Episode 12 - Karmic Soulmates, Toxic cycles and ways find closure through forgiveness
Whether you know it or not, you have probably connected with a Karmic Soulmate and on this episode, I talk about what a Karmic Soulmate is and ways you can identify them. I also share:
My personal experiences with two Karmic Soulmates (like one isn't enough!!) that came into my life to shake things up and help me learn some soul lessons. I also go deep to share what revelations these "shake ups" brought into my awareness from my childhood that helped me heal mother wounds.

How a psychic reading helped uncover what was standing in my way of welcoming a new relationship into my life and what I asked the universe to bring forward to me to heal and allow space for something (or someone) new to come into my life.

A FWB relationship that became a toxic cycle that I was unable to recognize.

Finding closure through forgiveness, mediations and gratitude for the lessons your soul needed to learn in this lifetime #feelittohealit
Journal Prompts:
1. What was the worst thing that has happened that ended up being a learning opportunity or a lesson in disguise?
2. Thinking back on a toxic relationship/cycle, why did it serve you to stay in that cycle and what boundaries do you have that will stop you from going back into the same cycle?

Cord cutting meditation - Release unhealthy attachments and call back your power
