Feeling lost, stuck, or longing for a sign that you’re not alone on your journey? In this episode, I explore the gentle, loving ways angels, spirit guides, and even loved ones in spirit, reach out to us - especially in moments of uncertainty or overwhelm. 

We'll discuss how to recognize the subtle signs and synchronicities sent by your spirit team and angels, and how to deepen your connection with your angels for greater comfort and clarity.

I share:

• The most common ways angels and spirit guides communicate (from feathers and songs to dreams and synchronicities)
• How true guidance is never fear-based 
• What to do when signs and messages come through
• A simple practice to invite more support, hope, and reassurance into your daily life
• What to do when you’re not sure if you’re receiving signs, or when doubt creeps in

Have you ever felt a deep inner calling that your life needed to change, but following it would mean making really hard choices and stepping into the unknown? Then this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Jillian Abby, a motivational speaker, writing coach, ghostwriter, and author of Perfectly Queer, to explore her journey of answering her own souls call, navigating big challenges and making big changes, to live in true alignment with herself.

Jillian takes us through the messy, imperfect path of following her truth, choosing herself, and changing everything. 

We talk about how perfectionism is an illusion, how motherhood can shatter our perfectionist tendencies, and how learning to trust our intuitive knowing, rather than the voice of fear, can lead us toward a life that feels really aligned.

Jillian also shares insights from her work as a writer and ghostwriter, and how it’s ok to give ourselves permission to walk a winding, and disjointed path when it means choosing ourselves.

Whether you’re navigating your own crossroads, questioning old stories, or seeking inspiration to live more authentically, this episode offers wisdom, vulnerability, and hope.

What happens when life strips away everything you thought defined you? In this raw and vulnerable episode, I unpack the decade that dismantled and rebuilt me - from spirit visits and health issues, to sudden loss and becoming a mother, to confronting my deepest self-abandonment patterns.

You'll hear how:
▸ Physical symptoms and spirit were my messengers: Why years of health issues went unhealed until I decided to listen to Spirit and the wisdom of my own body.
▸ Grief and motherhood collided as awakening catalysts: How loss and new life forced me to confront existential questions like Who am I? Why am I doing this?
▸ Self-acceptance & compassion changed everything: The journey from autopilot to honoring my intuitive wisdom and sensitivity as sacred guidance.
▸ Confronting my own patterns: What my journey revealed about people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the courage to prioritize myself. 

 This is a story of trading survival mode for soul alignment, and self-abandonment for radical self-love. It's the story of my own awakening and what brought me to the work that I do today. For every sensitive soul on their own awakening journey - this is your reminder that it’s ok to choose yourself and come home to yourself.
