There is so much going on in the Universe right now! We have a Full Moon in Leo, and we have the first Pluto Return in the United States since it was formed in 1776. We're swimming in some pretty powerful energies. In this episode I break it down:

• How we can use the energies of Leo (the lion) on our individual healing journey
• Why self-love is so important right now
• How to use the energies of confidence during this Full Moon
• The impact the Pluto Return is having on the chaos in the United States (and around the world)
• Questions to ask yourself during this potent cosmic time
• How long we'll feel the effects of the Pluto Return (this may surprise you!)
• What Pluto represents (this will explain so much of what's currently happening)
• A review and reflection process to use during this time to help you navigate these energies and support your healing journey

Even if you come across this episode long after February 2022, the energy of the Pluto Return in the United States will have an impact on all of us for several years to come. In this episode, I share much more so be sure to listen in.

Harry Sherwood is thoughtful, delightful, insightful, and wise well beyond his years. Growing up as a typical American young man, something began pulling him in a different direction. Harry is very vulnerable in this interview in sharing his journey. We covered a variety of fascinating topics including:

• Life before traveling the world, living in an Ashram, and developing presence
• The gnawing sensation he kept experiencing that led him to follow his calling
• What lit him up along the way
• How he followed the “awe” he received
• His path from football coach to meditation and self-realization
• The real reason he landed in China to study Tai Chi and Qi Gong (this isn’t what you’d expect!)
• What he feels pulled him forward more than courage
• What can happen when you don’t follow your Soul’s calling
• The remembering he had as he was following his Soul’s calling
• The importance of the present moment
• The presence question he asks people
• Why so many of us don’t want to stay present
• What he first thought presence would be - and what he learned it really is
• What spiritual bypassing does to our humanity
• The side of healing and humanity the “love and light” community bypasses
• Why it’s critical to feel our feelings and embody them
• Questions you can ask once you’re in your body
• HeartMath and  the intelligence of the heart
• The heart-brain-gut connection
• Meditation - myths and realities
• What happens when we have expectations of what meditation should be
• The meditative power of nature
• The one part of the self that never changes
• The importance of curiosity

In 2008 when I left my last marriage, I realized I needed to make some big changes in my life so I didn’t continue repeating patterns that didn’t serve me. Long before the “word of the year” was a thing on the Internet, I began creating a Theme for my life for the upcoming year. In this episode, I take you through the process I’ve used since the end of 2008 to reflect on the year that’s ending, and intentionally create what I want in my life in the upcoming year. This is the process that helped me create a life I loved for several years, before my son went to Spirit in 2019 and Covid changed life in 2020. It’s also the process I’ve used to heal on a quantum level since Greg left this life.

I created a beautiful PDF to assist you in this process. If you aren’t on my email list, send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll personally send you the PDF. If you are on my email list at the time this episode goes live in December 2021, you’ll automatically receive the guide in my weekly newsletter.

This process is timeless. You can use it at the end of any year, or at any time during the year. It’s lovely to do it on your birthday, or any other significant day throughout the year.

I’d love to hear how this process is for you. Screenshot this episode and post it to your IG or Facebook stories, and tag me in it so I’ll get a notification. Or send me an email and let me know. I wish you a peace-filled New Year

My guest this week has a different type of grief story. Brandon Wainwright is an animal lover, a police officer,  and a Reiki practitioner. He lives with his wife, daughter, two dogs, and a chinchilla in the San Francisco Bay area, although they’re moving less than a week from when this episode is released. Brandon wrote a wonderful book, Tyson’s Gift, after the passing of their family dog, Tyson. The book follows the story of Tyson and their family, the impact Tyson had on Brandon while Tyson was in this life, and the spiritual awakening Brandon had after Tyson went to Spirit.

I know a lot of my listeners are animal lovers just like I am. Animals are Souls just like we are, and the impact they have on our lives is immeasurable. The gifts that Tyson brought to Brandon and his family live on. I highly encourage you to get a copy of this book. I cried through a lot of it because Brandon lets you feel as if you know Tyson on an intimate level. The story of his healing through his spiritual awakening is really special, and Tyson clearly orchestrated that. 

• How a pint sized dog named Tyson helped create a spiritual awakening in an agnostic police officer
• How Tyson came into their lives
• Why Brandon wasn’t initially excited about his wife bringing Tyson into their lives
• What Brandon had to do to win Tyson’s trust and respect
• How Tyson helped open Brandon’s heart in ways he didn’t know he needed
• The questions he asked after Tyson left this life that led to his spiritual awakening
• His experiences with animal communicators
• The reasons he wrote “Tyson’s Gift”
• Why he was compelled, but not necessarily convinced, by some of the stories of animal communication
• How he went from "belief" about the Afterlife to "knowing"
• The experiences his wife and daughter had “hearing” Tyson after he went to Spirit
• The hilarious story of Tyson and their other dog, Chloe, getting into the pantry and what they ate!
• The bond between Tyson and Chloe both in this life and now that they're both in Spirit
• His first experience with a medium when some of his loved ones in Spirit came through
• The fears he had as he embarked on his Reiki training (you will probably relate to these!)
• What Tyson’s Gift really is - and where the name of the book came from
• How Tyson’s Spirit is kept alive every day
• While losing a pet and losing a child are not the same, the similarities he sees in both losses
• My experience with an animal communicator this summer when my dog, Huckle, had cancer

Be sure to visit Brandon's website, and pick up a copy of his book, Tyson's Gift, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores (or directly from his website).

The holidays bring up so many emotions when we someone close to us has gone to Spirit. As I was meditating on what to share in this year's holiday episode, I kept hearing that I should use the episode from 2020 because the ideas shared in that episode are timeless. I added something new in the beginning and at the end, and I did a lot of editing. So even if you listened to the episode last year, I invite you to listen again this year because you'll hear something new, or you'll hear something in a different way than you did last year.

In this episode I shared:

• The very different Thanksgiving I had this year - and why it was perfect for me
• What to do during the holidays if you have other children or grandchildren
• What to do if your only child is in Spirit and you’re alone for the holidays
• Holiday preparations
• Setting boundaries to honor your grief
• Things to consider about your traditions
• What to do if your grief becomes too much during a holiday get together
• Ways you can honor your child or other loved ones during the holidays
• Random acts of kindness you can do in your child’s or other loved one's name
• The importance of time and space in your holiday calendar

 
I'd love to hear what you're going to do to honor yourself, your child, or other loved one during this tender season. Email me or post on Instagram.
