Talks with Jo

As we learned in the Disney Pixar movie, Soul, the purpose of life is to find the beauty in living. But what if we have this crazy dream to accomplish something that feels so out of reach that we talk ourselves out of starting or convince ourselves to quit in the midst of starting? On this episode, my friend Ben joins me to talk all about getting out of your own way to move towards your higher purpose and work with your spark to do what you love.

I thought I'd do something different and fun for the first episode of 2021. I remember at the beginning of last year, I got SO many readings from so many different people because I wanted so badly to know what my 2020 was going to look like (none of which mentioned a massive pandemic by the way). What I learned from this is that there's magic in the mystery, but also benefits from the guidance. On this episode, I shed some light on what collective energies to expect in 2021 with a mini reading.

HAPPY LAST EPISODE OF 2020. Thank you for all your support this year. I'm excited to continue this project in 2021. My podcast is a Virgo, and I love that for her. She's all about growth and expansion.

True magic comes from the self and even greater magic comes from The Divine. Can you see the magic within yourself and can you trust the magic beyond what you can see? On this episode, I got to speak with Merriliz about developing our own personal relationship with God, Universe, or Source (whichever you resonate with most) and mastering the art of mindfulness in the human experience.

When we are born, what do we inherit from our families? Maybe we have our dad's nose or our mom's smile. Yes, we get all of that... but also, we get their unhealed emotional wounds. I am so happy to have Desiree join me to talk all about starting the ~work~ to begin healing generational and childhood trauma and developing practices to support that healing.

Practicing presence is hard since the past is screaming to be acknowledged and the future is incredibly overwhelming. And practicing acceptance is even harder especially after trauma. But what I found is that even though situations can be hard, it's typically worth your while. In this episode, I talk about radical acceptance and empowering genuine change in the way we react to our circumstances.

Is spirituality all "woo woo," mystical, and dare I say it... weird? Actually, science can explain it too! On this episode, the lovely Annie joined me to talk all about deep quantum work, self-talk, manifestation, and getting your ego on board with creating the dream life you desire for yourself. Get ready to go deep down the rabbit hole with us!

When painful situations arise, we tend to resist what we feel because it's uncomfortable, but the more we resist, the more that pain will persist. In this episode, I talk about my process with dealing with pain and yes, it gets messy, but it always gets better.

This has been a topic I wanted to touch on ever since I started my podcast, and I am SO excited to have a dear friend of mine, Melissa, to talk about this with. Tune in as we discuss the importance of prioritizing your mental health, the benefits of therapy, and how we've changed since our healing journeys began. You don't want to miss this one!

Reiki is a huge part of who I am, so I am so excited to finally release this episode! Hear me explain my experiences as a reiki practitioner, how it benefited me, and how it can potentially benefit you.
