This week's episode is a special one, as I welcome my dear friend Sim Stevens to the podcast. Sim is a woman of many modalities, supporting people as an intuitive healer, psychic medium and witch. We met 14 years ago working in a very corporate world, so to be sharing this conversation feels like a full spiral moment, having both learned to trust our intuition to guide us both onto very different paths since.

Sim started receiving messages from spirit at a very young age and has only more recently started to reclaim her gifts, after years of suppressing them. She now helps the spiritually curious find their unique, innate inner magick, offering one-to-ones, circles and dedicated journeys with spirit, healing, and intuition mentorship.

We cover A LOT in this episode, from delving into the true meaning of intuition and discovering how to work with it to change your life... from changing your career to making daily decisions to support your soul's path. Sim opens up about her experiences of working with spirit, myth-busting along the way (clue: it's not just about seeing dead people). Whether you work with spirit, are simply curious, or even a little skeptical, this one is for you.

Together we delve deep into Sim's story of reclaiming her gifts, hearing how she continues to deepen her spirit skills and how you can open up to some of this magic too. We also discuss the beauty and challenges of walking a path between two realms and how to manage this gift in the human world, as well as sharing tips and practices to start opening up to your inner guidance system (aka your intuition) and so much more.

This week's episode is FIRE, as I go deep with my amazing teacher and podcast guest, Melissa Sanger. Melissa is a leader of the sacred feminine arts. She guide’s women around the world on a journey of ancestral Womb healing, sacred sexuality & feminine embodiment. And I am one of those women. Having been in her spaces, I have received the potency of her teachings and I cannot wait to share this incredibly empowering conversation with you.

We take a deep dive into the world of money, excavating societal and ancestral beliefs that are attached to being wealthy and how we get to rewrite our story to heal our lineage.

This is such a juicy episode and by the end of this conversation (which was recorded in November 2023), it had completely shifted my mindset and I trust it will do the same for you. Money and wealth can be a challenging area of life for many to master, but by the end of this episode, you will have started the work that is needed to claim your wealth and enter into the financial freedom that is waiting for you.

In this episode, we touch on many topics, including:

Melissa shares an incredibly powerful practice that support you on your journey to financial freedom and it's an eye and heart opener! If you feel called to go a little deeper, you can join Ancestral Financial Alchemy, her three day initiation which kicks off on 14/1/24.

I want to start by sharing that it's Grief Awareness week and in this episode I'm joined by the incredible Clare Marriott for an inspiring conversation about grief. Please note that Clare shares about her experience of baby loss in this episode.

Clare has experienced huge loss in her life and in today’s episode she vulnerably shares about her experience of miscarriage and the grief that comes with loss, in a society that isn’t taught to deal with this huge part of life... death.

As part of her grief experience, Clare's path has taken her on a shamanic journey and she shares how plant medicine has supported her grief. It's a beautiful conversation about topics that need to be shared.

Clare is a multidimensional practitioner working as a Leadership Coach with creatives & consultants all over the globe. She helps them to recover from burnout, manage stress & navigate big changes to lead extraordinary lives. What I love about Clare is that she bridges the worlds between old and new, weaving together modern techniques and ancient practices in the most beautiful way, as she’s also a Shamanic Healer. In this episode, she talks about her beautiful teachings from the Peruvian Amazon & Andean Mountains, which she has studied deeply.

I hope this episode sparks curiosity and conversation, and as always, I would love to hear what you think. Enjoy.

*It is important to note that Ayahuasca is a Plant Medicine that is native to South America and used by indigenous cultures as part of their sacred lineage. It is illegal in the UK and it isn't suitable for everyone. Many other modalities can be just as powerful, such as meditation or breathwork. If/When you are exploring ceremonies in parts of the world that it is legal, please do your research and ensure you are entering into a safe and held space.

This week’s podcast guest is Harry Verma, the founder of Innate, a co-living experiment that brings people together to live & work remotely in nature, while immersing themselves into inner journeys through different daily practices.

Harry has been creating co-living experiences for over 7 years. With over 800 attendees, and more importantly, many friendships sparked, romances kindled, businesses launched, careers changed and purposes discovered, Harry knows what he’s doing when it comes to bringing the right people together at the right time.

In September this year, I went to Portugal to experience Innate for myself and it changed my life in many ways, one of which was creating the space to finally start this podcast! This episode was recorded while we were there, living the co-live life, so apologies for the sound quality on this one.

There’s no question that these experiences are the future for those looking to live differently and I’m excited to hear what you think. In this episode, we talk about how this idea was birthed, plant medicine* journeys that got him there, the mistakes he’s made along the way and much, much more.

As you will hear, Harry is passionate about exploring consciousness, innate ways of life and how to bring that into our modern world. Enjoy the episode!

This week's guest is Amelia Griffiths, an alchemist, spiritual guide and facilitator who catalyses radical transformation in body, soul and business. In this episode, we delve into the wild and wonderful world of spirit-led business and the initiations we go through in the process of sharing the work that we love.

We discuss how to find purpose outside of our conditioning, unpicking some common misconceptions, whilst going deep into soul connection and working with our inner world to guide us. A reminder that we are the medicine. We talk about all things sexual healing, self-gaslighting, dreams, rituals, grief, and the shifts within our inner circle as we remember who we are and awaken to the life that we are here to live.

Make a cuppa and grab your notebook, as this one will leave you feeling inspired to make that idea you have into something more.

Welcome to the first episode of The Sacred Shifts Podcast, with me, your host, Betty. In this solo episode, I take you on a little adventure into my world. I share my heart and some of the Sacred Shifts that I've personally experienced, from career changes to life-altering grief, and everything else in between. This episode shines a light on some of the catalyst moments in my life so far and how I've learned to alchemise them through self-compassion, acceptance and radical honesty. I share about my journey with breathwork and how it took me on an initiation of getting to know myself deeply so that I can live a soul-led life that allows me to hold space for others to do the same. Let's do this! Thank you for receiving my story, I hope you enjoy listening.

Welcome to the Sacred Shifts Podcast, with me, your host, Betty Lewis-Griffiths.
