Episode 117, Fun Times Connecting with Spirit

This is one of those episodes where I talk about the recent happenings in my life doing the work that I do. From a recent class I taught on Oracle Tools, to my visit to a house that supposedly had a lot of "activity" (It did!), to Angels stepping in to help in a loud way. I love love love my job and my connection almost as much as I love sharing these stories! Making the esoteric ordinary is my jam. :)

Hope you enjoy listening in!

Episode 115 - Death, Rebirth, and lots of signs from Spirit

Early in June I recognized that I’d overextended myself. I never considered myself to be a people pleaser nor did I think I was bad with my boundaries, but evidence to the contrary revealed itself! I started out my summer overwhelmed, burned out and with a dysregulated nervous system. I’d seen a homeopath who gave me a remedy that brought all this to the forefront. It course corrected me and its effects aided in me recognizing where I’d overcommitted myself, forcing me to confront needed change. Between the homeopathic remedy and the goddess Kali, it became evident that I’d need to clear my plate in a big way to usher in whatever new energies that needed to take place. It was a transformative summer, one where I was mostly a recluse and in cocoon mode. A metamorphosis… All to rise again, a fresher, better version of myself! Sometimes I wish I was exempt from human suffering, but why be put on this planet as a human if not to get the full human experience? Hope you enjoy listening in!

Episode 113 - Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with Meredith Beardmore

I’m so excited to bring you today’s episode! I will be geeking out about Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with therapist – and Swiftie- Meredith Beardmore.

Meredith Beardmore is a psychotherapist operating a private practice, the author of Hey Addiction, Thanks for NOTHING!: A Brutally Honest Guide to Loving an Addict Without Losing Your Mind, and is also known as “Mend with Mere” from her successful YouTube Channel.

Meredith is an Ohio State University graduate with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Meredith specializes in substance abuse treatment, helping family members of addicts and treating emerging adults with various issues, from identity development to depression.

Her YouTube Channel, “Mend with Mere,” initially intended for therapy discussions, became a platform for analyzing song lyrics, primarily Taylor Swift's, garnering thousands of subscribers and over 5 million hours of watch time.

I am so happy to have found MEND WITH MERE, and her channel where she often thoughtfully discusses, dissects and reacts to songs. I stumbled upon her page in the research that goes along w dissecting lyrics! The recent Taylor Swift album – the Tortured Poets Department- is rich with amazing and meaningful songs that really sent me down rabbit holes.

I’ve recently become a Swiftie, and I’m not embarrassed to admit it! The more I’ve learned about Taylor Swift and her work, the more I’ve grown to love her! When she started the Eras tour last year I noticed all the girl mom friends of mine who went to see the show with their daughters were just as crazy to see her as their daughters were…  this intrigued me and I ended up watching the Netflix Special on her called “MISS AMERICANA”. From there I really grew to really respect her as an artist and person. It’s clear she’s a smart, self-aware and sensitive.  I only began delving into her catalogue since February of this year after watching her video for “You Need To Calm Down”. Seeing how she advocates for the LGBTQ really warmed my heart- I cried when I first saw it even tho it’s not necessarily a tear jerker! As a mom to a transgirl it made me even happier to see someone with this platform saying F U to the naysayers. I then started listening to her on Spotify, just letting it play… I heard the song “I Did Something Bad” where she mentions how narcissists love her (common for empaths) and then she sang “They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one…. So light me up” and I got CHILLS so bad!! I could feel the power she was channeling and was floored!

I later learned about the song Willow and her video for that where it looks like a coven of women dancing around the moon—fun fact, this tree is associated with Hecate—Queen of the Witches, goddess of the underworld connected to magic and divination. Witch isn’t a bad word- a witch is a woman in her power who can transmute energy and Taylor Swift does just that. From the snakes being thrown her way w the bs drama she had with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, where she turned it around for fuel for her Reputation album, to changing the script on London and her relationship to that city (We recorded this just prior to those shows… Travis Kelce is clearly the Divine Masculine and his performance with Taylor on stage was so symbolic and amazing. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, clearly you are NOT a Swiftie, lol. Google it! Night 3 London, June 22). They both really embody the divine feminine and masculine so strongly. 

Nothing prepared me tho for when she premiered her performance of “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” from her new album in Paris back in May. This was an empowered woman, not hiding her rage and playfully playing on people’s fears/accusations of her being a witch. I ate that shit up!! Every single time I listen to or watch that song I get chills and my eyes fill with tears. She channels such power and light.

Meredith and I speak about sacred rage, how it’s necessary to feel in order to heal, we speak on intuition and how it grows after the arrival of our children. We speak about our kids on the spectrum and their heightened sensitivities, and we also touch on the oh so common narcissist and empath connection.

I loved my conversation with Meredith, we meandered a bit and I love all the different directions we went in. I hope you enjoy it too!!

On Episode 112, I wanted to share with you when I was a guest on the “No Bs Human Design Podcast”, about a year ago. I recently re-listened to it and thought it’d be worthwhile to share here w you all. I’d interviewed Human design expert Adriana Keefe as a guest on my show last year and then I was a guest on hers. We had a fun conversation regarding the work that I do and how I do what I do. She shared her perspective in being on the receiving end of a distance healing session from me and I appreciated her insights and feedback. You know how I’m a fan of sharing fun and cool spiritual stories, and there were definitely a few in this episode. Enjoy!

On Episode 110, I speak with clinical Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapist®, Empowerment Coach, and Reiki Master, Christina Woods. Christina combines her background in corporate leadership along with her life experiences in dealing with trauma and abandonment to empower other women to trust their intuition and set themselves free of self-doubt. She wants everyone to stop looking outside for what they need and instead look inside themselves. She helps her clients step into their true authentic self, free of self-sabotaging behavior, so they can live a life full of deep meaning, and potential. Through this deep hypnotherapy and coaching work, she empowers women to shed old programming, so they can live the life they deserve.

Episode 109: Conversation with Life Coach and Energy Healer, Victoria O’Conner Blazeski

Coach Tori’s story starts like many others, before she found her way as a spiritual healer, she followed a traditional path towards success, and by many people's standards, had achieved it. Through 2021, she worked at a top tier, global accounting firm doing international corporate tax for financial services companies, was happily married and had kids she adored. However, despite all of this perceived success, she wasn't happy. In 2019 she experienced severe burnout that lead to a transformational break-down, and break-through journey that led her to Life Coaching and the Dharma Coaching Institute where she completed the life purpose and spiritual life coaching training. She also became a Reiki Master in 2022, and began specializing in distance energy healings which allowed her to bring together the skills she’d learned and the psychic talents she’d fostered since she was a child.

Tori reached out to me a few years ago to participate in one of my “Rebalance Retreats” and in getting to know her, I have enjoyed hearing her stories and perspectives on her experiences. She recently helped me with a powerful session which spurred me to ask her to be on my show! I hope you enjoy listening in and hearing her story.

(In this episode I refer to a powerful healing session that I had with Tori, check out episode 106 for more details on that)
