How are we in August?!

This year has definitely flown by but let look at our August Spirit Messages:

4 of Wands is an honoring of how far we have come. A beautiful alignment with home life, creativity, and moments of celebration. Recognize your growth. Celebrate the small wins. 

5 of Pentacles brings in the duality. This is healing wounds around lack and scarcity. Even  in the midst of blessings we can find old patterns arise within us. Don't isolate. Ask for guidance. Don't sit in the lack. This is a struggle card, the shift, the hard stuff that makes  you grow. Self-worth is the key. Those trigger moments will test you. The human experience is meant to test us for growth. Calm your nervous system. Self investigate. What is the lesson here?

The King of Swords is stepping into this wisdom and discernment. Clear communication comes in and a new trust in yourself. A good month to gain clarity. What does your inner dialogue look like? Use your wise mind this month. The energy is supportive of that discernment. Give yourself space to have mental clarity moments. Meditate. Organize your thoughts. Free of judgement.

6 of Cups is a return to nostalgia, inner child work, being childlike, an reconnecting with that part of yourself. August seems to bring in those childhood memories, and finding healing in them. There is a remembrance. Ancestral healing. Play medicine. DO THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD.

Oracle Cards: Courage & Change 

August feels like a month of Phoenix energy. Burn to be reborn. Sit in the change. Celebrate your progress. Trust your voice. Heal what feels needs healing. Reclaim joy through nostalgia and always remember who you are. Pray. You got this. 

Thank you! Please like and share the podcast, and if you feel called, to review I would deeply appreciate it.

How is it June?! We skipped May but life goes on and we all survived. In todays episode I decided to make it short and sweet and use my Tarot deck to pull us some cards. 

6 of Cups: This is nostalgia, childhood, and looking back and seeing what we will keep from our childhood and what we will not take forward into our growth. 

8 of Cups: Emotionally detaching from what doesn't work for moving forward. Going inward to reflect on what needs to improve or be left behind. 

7 of Swords: Facing the shadow parts of yourself that needs to be worked on in order to let go. 

8 of Pentacles: Dedication and mastery of skills, work, and finding what lights you up. 

Judgement: A wake up call and new clarity that allows you to step fully into your authentic self. 

Growth is big this month! Embrace it all!

Please share if this resonated with you and if you know someone in your world needs to hear it. 

Thanks to all of you!

Today I wanted to talk about simple routines that I do in my practice, that can inspire those who live a busy life, showcase how routines can help support mental health, daily rituals to attract inner peace, and overall just benefit your life. We discuss meditation, moving  your body, and connecting with your kids and spouse. All so important.  Mindfulness practices and meditation has been the first step, and I go through and describe how I meditate and give tips for how to bring it into your practice. 

I hope that by me sharing my daily routine, can spark your curiosity to how to make your daily routine work for YOU. Tailoring a process that benefits  you, is filling  your cup in a way that is NECCESSARY to balancing the mind, body, and spirit. You cannot fill others cup, if yours is empty. 

I want to emphasis (because I didn't mention it in the episode this morning) that you can change up your routine times that you do them due to life's unexpected changes, just do them DAILY. That's what really matters. 

Send this episode to someone who you think this will inspire, and if you could do a review on the podcast, that would be amazing!

April is month of BIG changes. Embrace them, don't forget your resilience, don't deny your authentic self, and know growth is happening. HAVE FAITH. 

Ground Yourself 

Feeling irritated, unfocused, stressed, and overwhelmed are all signs you need to ground. Walk barefoot on our Earth. Deep Breathe. Move your body. Meditate. Pray. Connect to Spirit and the Earth in any way that you feel grounds you this month.

Spirit Fox

Trust your talents in changing times. There is so much change in the air and as a Fox they can survive any climate. As we move into Spring the Fox comes out of its den to explore the changes around. There is a shift we all feel and although change is hard, and we may have yet to ever experience this, Fox Energy is resilient. It’s time to trust the shifts and know its for our highest good. Use our wisdom to guide us forward. 

Denial 

I acknowledge my fear, and I replace it with the insight of awareness. This is a call to live authentically. Don’t shy away from the emotions that arise within you. Don’t hide them from loved ones. Speak your truth, and don’t deny that is what you’re feeling. Denial of these emotions fester into resentment, and resentment feels like poison causing dis-ease in the body. Move it through you. Cry, laugh, scream, and have hard conversations in a loving authentic way.

Codes of the Seeds

The blueprint is within you. Take the next step. Seeds know exactly how to grow. Change is the only constant. There is no rushing growth. Growth happens organically and it takes patience to watch them bloom. Seasons change before we can reap the benefits of the baby steps we take daily. Don’t lose faith in your growth. It happens beneath the surface before we get to watch it bloom. 

 Thank you for tuning into spirit messages. So grateful.

Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, OBGYN and owner of Uplift for Her, came on the show today, and what a treat it was! She has over 15 years of clinical experience and then created her company to combine that with a more functional approach. Blending both worlds of hippy and conventional, as she states, is the trajectory of overall health and she is a pioneer in the Salt Lake Valley and beyond. 

This woman gave us SO MUCH information about women's health. Going back to the basics of women's health is crucial!

The topics we discuss are:

What are women's private parts? What are the names? What is its overall function?

How do we clean it properly?

What smells are normal and what aren't?

Do we need help with our pelvic floor strength? 

What does a healthy period cycle look like? 

How do we mentally handle the changes our bodies go through as women?

How to talk to your children about these changes?

How do explore this topic with a partner?

These questions all mesh into each other and this conversation really just discusses the importance that women reclaim their power back when it comes to their bodies. We are such magical beings, and its time to honor that!

Thanks to Spirit School Podcast for the inspiring. Thanks to my listeners for coming back time after time.

Journey of Souls Deck: Courage

Find the inner strength to face your fears with confidence. Big changes, it feels scary, dont look to others to make your decisions, be confident in YOU.

The Rose Oracle: The Rose Garden

Forgiveness. Be gentle with yourself. Release shame, judgement and guilt. We are ALL a work in progress.

Spirit Messages Oracle:

Just Ask. Spirit can be your guide. Angels, loved ones. Look out for synchronicities they send. Ask those around you for help. You cant do everything alone. Pray for our presence.

Angels & Ancestors Oracle: Magick Guardian

Stop looking outside yourself and know have so much power from within.

Tarot: Queen of Swords

She is logical and wise and avoids gossip and fluff around her. Be honest with yourself, your relationships and be true to you. It can feel too blunt than what you're used to. Boundaries like never before. Clear heart and clear mind. 

What a powerful month. Take care of yourselves this month and stay BRAVE. You got this.

Hey Everyone! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! In todays episode I spontaneously felt the need to wake up early and throw out the advise that has worked to keep my 13 year relationship alive and thriving. 

No one is perfect, but being able to share stories and things that work in relationships and things that dont can be a great learning opportunity for everyone. Sharing love stories is a part of our history as humans since the beginning. 

I hope my story helps anyone listening. Through my self-help journey I have a come across books like, Come as You Are (listed below), and research through my schooling that has allowed me to learn big relationship lessons. 

Go enjoy your loved ones today, and thanks for listening!

Love you all!

In todays episode I give a brief overview of how the tradition of the Spirit Messages started. Through my mentorship with Spirit School and founder Danielle Searancke @squamishmedium I really found a new connection with Spirit and my own internal guidance system. 

The three oracle cards I pulled to guide us this February were:

The Crowning: Initiation, Thresholds, Birth, Rebirth, Intuition

Empathy: I am open to seeing both sides of a situation

Light: Imagine yourself as a being composed of energy and light --because in reality, that's precisely what you are. You are a powerful being, and people are attracted to your brilliance. This is a time to remember how vibrant you truly are. 

Thank you for listening. Stay heart-centered this month. Much love!

In this episode I got the honor of talking with Mindy Vincent, a licensed clinical social worker, founder and executive director of the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition, pioneer in addiction treatment, and owner of Life Changes Counseling. 

In this episode went talked about Mindy's story and how she came back from a long time of addiction to now someone who guides others through this journey. She uses her role as a pure advocate and has made changes that although may feel alternative, they work! 

From syringe exchanges to the topic of psychedelic-assisted therapy, Mindy does things her own way and is not afraid to stand up to old ways of doing things and trail-blaze a new path. 

Thank you for listening! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
