The Ascending Dawn Doula Podcast with Jennie Sikes

You are more than your physical body - you are a spiritual being having a human experience, moving through an intelligent energy system.
In this episode, we explore the chakra system as the connection points between body, emotion, intuition, and higher consciousness. From the grounding survival centers rooted in the earth to the spiritual channels of awareness, you’ll learn how energy flows through you, why instinct is always present while intuition is developed, and how true balance comes from working with all seven chakras - not just the higher ones.
We’ll connect each chakra to real-life experiences, personal growth, shadow work, intuitive development, and the archetypes of tarot and zodiac energy, showing how embodied spirituality creates stability, clarity, and alignment in everyday life.
This episode is about integrating both human experience and spiritual awareness - so you can live grounded, intuitive, and fully alive.

After nearly 20 years as a recruiter in Corporate America, I’ve watched the job market move in clear, repeatable cycles — ebbs and flows, budget freezes and hiring surges, election years, contract awards, and the ripple effects of government spending that job seekers rarely see from the outside.
In this episode, I explore what happens when logical, left-brain career strategy meets creative and spiritual right-brain insight. Yes, I help people strengthen résumés, navigate job board algorithms, and position themselves competitively - but through Ascending Dawn Doula, I also bring an added layer to career consulting: a soul-informed review of the birth chart, paired with numerology.
Astrology offers clear indicators around career, reputation, legacy, and long-term fulfillment - through placements like the Midheaven, Rising sign, Sun, Moon, North Node, and Chiron. These pieces tell a story not just about what someone does for work, but how they’re meant to be seen, what they need to feel fulfilled, where growth is calling, and what kind of contribution their soul is here to make. Numerology then helps determine whether a particular year supports bold change, quiet preparation, or consolidation.
Rather than replacing practical strategy, this approach blends structure with intuition - honoring effort, timing, and soul alignment. I also share how I gently gauge openness in career consultations, meeting people exactly where they are, whether they’re deeply analytical, spiritually curious, or somewhere in between. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing outcomes and start making informed, aligned career decisions by engaging both sides of the brain - and the full picture of who you are.

In this episode, Jennie explores what it truly means to hold space - and how compassion fatigue quietly sets in when caring becomes a role, an identity, or an unspoken obligation. She also explains why energy hygiene is a must, not a luxury, for empaths, helpers, caregivers, leaders, and anyone who gives deeply.

With humor, heart, and grounded wisdom, Jennie unpacks the difference between presence and self-sacrifice, how emotional and energetic overload builds over time, and how to remain compassionate without absorbing what isn’t yours.

In this episode, Jennie guides you through:

• What holding space really means (and what it doesn’t)
  
  
• What compassion fatigue actually is — and why it’s not a failure
  
  
• How helpers become emotional and energetic containers
  
  
• Why rest alone doesn’t resolve depletion
  
• Why energy hygiene is non-negotiable for sensitive people
  
  
• Simple ways to care with capacity instead of collapse
  
  

This is a must-listen for anyone ready to protect their energy without closing their heart.

Have you ever felt like something in your life quietly shifted…and suddenly nothing looks or feels the same? Welcome to the spiritual awakening.
In this episode, Jennie breaks down the unmistakable signs of awakening - from the thirst for knowledge and heightened intuition to the sudden intolerance for small talk, synchronicity overload, inner child activations, generational healing, and those “am I losing my mind or getting closer to my soul?” moments. With humor, heart, and grounded spiritual wisdom, Jennie guides you through:

• Why awakenings often begin with discomfort
• How your senses, dreams, body, and intuition amplify
• Why some relationships fall away
• How to navigate the shadow work and identity shifts
• The role of music, signs, animals, and synchronicities
• What integration actually looks like

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s awakening, re-awakening, or curious about why everything suddenly feels different.

In this episode, Jennie explores the world of divination - not as fortune-telling, but as sacred conversation with your Higher Self. From tarot and oracle cards to pendulums, numerology, astrology, and intuitive journaling, Jennie shares how these tools can help you strengthen your inner guidance, receive clarity during life transitions, and reconnect to your intuition in practical ways. She offers her personal perspective as both an intuitive and a grounded professional - showing that spiritual insight and everyday life can beautifully coexist.

Let me ask you something: Have you ever helped a child fall asleep after a nightmare or a stomachache? Have you ever held a friend's hand as they ended a relationship? Have you ever cheered on someone as they launched a bold new idea - scared, excited, not sure if they can do it? Then... you have been a doula. I know what you are thinking - "Isn't a doula someone who helps with childbirth?" Yes. But that is only one chapter of the story. A doula is someone who walks with you through a threshold - be it birth, death, transformation, identity shift, spiritual awakening, career change - any moment where you are no longer who you were... but not yet who you are becoming.

This episode isn't just about the word "Doula." It's about the archetype. The sacred, universal role that we all carry - whether we realize it or not. Maybe you are the sister who always listened, the teacher who really saw your student, or the one in the friend group who makes everyone feel safe just by being there. Maybe you've even been your own doula - navigating the messy, beautiful in between of healing, shifting or starting over (um hello...empty nesters!!).
Today, we are pulling that word out of the delivery room and placing it back into the hands of everyday people - because guiding someone through change is sacred work. And chances are... you've already been doing it.
Welcome to Ascending Dawn Doula. Let's explore the role you didn't know you had!
