In this episode Sydney and Melissa begin with a calming and grounding meditation to help them get settled and drop into the heart space.

Sydney talks to Melissa about picking up other people's energy, and how our energy is so powerful. Talking about how we need to slow down and watch how we show up and what we say. Noticing that our reality shifts quickly now. We have to remember that we are creating our world every moment. Knowing that we tell the stories of our lives and that those stories become our lives. Realizing that getting quiet and sitting with things might be the best route to take.

They talk about allowing the energy of a situation to move through us and our world and noticing that most of the time a situation, and our reaction to it, is much deeper than what is apparent. Paying attention to the deeper meanings and messages will help us evolve. Being open to, and noticing, all of the nuances of our lives. Remembering that all of this is happening For us not To us.

Learning to listen to and trust ourselves enough to no longer need to perpetuate drama or get anyone else's opinion in order to be ok. Noticing that when we do overshare it is because we feel unsafe in the world.

The women talk about the old saying "Fake it till you make it." Discussing how we create the bridge between the reality of our situation and the life we want to manifest. One of Sydney's Spirit Guides passes on a new saying: "Heal To Be Real." or "Be Real To Heal." Changing the way we can look at, and the energy behind, that kind of transformation. Noticing that the energy behind "Fake it" and "Heal" is so much different. That you have to get real with yourself in order to manifest your best life. Realizing that the Universe/Source is asking you to go deep and to move away from the faking it point of view to the getting real and healing action step. Removing all of the shit that is in our way. Becoming real in order to heal.

Sydney talks about how scary it can be when you aren't faking it and putting yourself out there authentically. How you open yourself up to other peoples energy and opinion. Knowing that if she didn't that she would always be living in the fear instead of healing it. Knowing that in order to heal you have to go through the feelings that the situations in your life are triggering. Showing her that she can no longer avoid the feelings of shame and anxiety that living in your truth brings up. Moving through it with as much grace as possible.

Chelsey is also a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist and Level 1 Trained Gottman Method Couples Therapist. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in social psychology from Liberty University.

In this episode Chelsey explains what a narcissist is and talks about how it is not a diagnosis, but a description of patterns of behavior over time.

Narcissists are constantly high-conflict and rigid in their thinking. They can be antagonistic and vindictive, entitled and emotionally disregulated. She talks about the full spectrum of narcissistic behavior and that it resides along a broad scale. At the bottom is the know-it-all at the dinner table and up top the malignant narcissist who is cousin to the psychopath.

Chelsey discusses her experiences with narcissistic relationships starting in childhood and continuing into her first marraige. Recognizing how this shaped her throughout her life. How she shut her emotions down for a long time and had to learn to peel back the layers and open up to what happened. Deciding to make a change by looking at her patterns and using that information to heal.

Sydney and Chelsey talk about their own experiences in relationship and Sydney questions the reasons that she might attract narcissists into her life. Chelsey talks about setting boundries within the relationship and and how we can learn to move through these situations over time.

Chelsey discusses how she helps her clients heal from the trauma of being in an abusive relationship. Sharing how survivors are often confused about what happened and unsure about it in so many ways. Looking at her clients like a puzzle and putting the pieces back together one at a time. Finding balance between the information and the action steps one needs to take in order to move forward in life.

Taking it easy on yourself without judgement. Taking the steps that you need to and giving yourself permission to take the time to heal.

For many decades Ulrika Karlsson was depressed and burned out and eventually became suicidal. Her whole life was like an inner struggle with low self-asteem manifesting as many things such as stress, severe sleeping disorders and a deep depression. This ongoing inner struggle affected all aspects of her life.

Today Ulrika works as a Feminine Leadership Coach, International Spiritual Teacher and Author, Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist, and Soul Coach. She has written 5 books with the purpose of reminding us who we truly are.

In this episode Ulrika talks about heart-based living and what that means for her. How we are living in a world that doesn't come from the heart space and how we can move into the heart by dropping into the feminine energy. Practicing compassion and moving into higher states of conciousness.

Sydney, Melissa & Ulrika talk about recognizing masculine and feminine energies within ourselves. Ulrika points out how we are in the immature stages of those energies now and that society is driven by this.

Sydney talks about how we are moving into a new idea of the masculine and feminine and Ulrika talks about waking up to these ideas and how we also have to do the deep inner and shadow work if we want to truly heal. Choosing to become the best versions of ourselves every day.

Melissa talks about doing the inner work on our own and that we can only get so far alone, but that we also need other people and practitioners at certain points in that journey. Ulrika explains it as people having keys that unlock things in one another and that we are all mirrors for one another. All we need to do is look at the people in our lives in order to see what is going on inside of us.

Ulrika discusses spiritual by-passing and how we need to use the body as a tool during our journey and Sydney discribes an interesting experience she had and the physical sensations that went along with it. Having a reaction in this reality to energies passing through her from another lifetime.

Ulrika talks about past lives and how that energy gets stored in our bodies and our DNA and about our Akashic Records which store the memories of everything we have ever been through as a soul here on earth. She discribes how we need to release this stored energy in order to truly heal. That we need to recognize the scope of the past lives that so many of us have kept within us. That we have frozen emotions which hinder the flow of the energy within.

She talks about her books and how they all were written with the purpose of reminding us who we truly are. Waking up to that knowledge so that we can do what we came here to do. That we are souls having a human experience and how we can use our inner shit as fertilizer in order to grow.

We can all help one another on this journey but it is up to every one of us to make that choice and to do the work ourselves. We can wake up to that power and choose life and notice how life, in turn, chooses us.

They go into the heart-space and feel into this phenomenon and notice how they feel about whales and how most humans view them as majestic creatures. Talking about nature in general and how we can all live together on this earth if we take the time to see all things as one.

They talk about mental vs heart-based living. About how the minds stories get involved and how we can begin to separate from the mind by asking it questions instead of blindly following its advice. How, when we dive into our hearts, we become selfish and selfless at the same time. Becoming self-centered and balanced. Dropping down and seeing it all and seeing the truth. Noticing how the mind tells us the craziest things and that if you aren't in control of it you might take action depending on what the mind decides. How we can learn to separate ourselves from the mind. Deciding for ourselves how we want to be.

Taking responsibility for our own peace. Realizing that it is an internal process. Changing our behaviors and beliefs and cutting things out of our lives that do not fit in with a heart-based life. Recognizing that slowing down and dropping into our hearts and feeling into a situation instead of reacting brings more calm. Pressing pause on the overwhelm and fear.

Melissa & Sydney talk about what we can do to cultivate that calm. Finding grounding practices and meditiations to help create a new way of being. Immersed in peace and joy. Creating a new conciousness. Sydney gives pointers about how to do just that. Helping us to take control of our lives. Recognizing that this is where our true power lies.

What is the difference between complaining and talking about the things that frustrate us while on a spiritual or healing journey? Melissa and Sydney dive into this topic with the help of their "Biggest Fan" Michele Covert in this interesting episode!

They talk about a recent podcast review that got them thinking about this topic and how anger and frustration about things that are going on in this world can be a catalyst for change.

How talking about things and working on stuff or evolving is very different from complaining but doing nothing. How we can take a look at the human condition and then do the work that it takes to change ourselves and the world around us while helping and inspiring others to do the same.

Michele weighs in on the subject and talks about how she sees things and how she has changed along her path. How she allows herself to feel her feelings instead of numbing the pain. Being uncomfortable but coming out of it on the other side feeling so much better. About how this has helped her to kick a major addiction to alcohol during the process of going within.

They talk about how "spiritualty" can be misunderstood as being a bunch of people sitting around chanting and feeling happy and at peace all of the time. Super-human and above all of the mundane human difficulties, but how that is so far from the truth.

Talking the talk and walking the walk.

Thinking, feeling and noticing so much along the way. Changing and evolving by diving in deep.
