When a new opportunity shows up, most of us immediately start asking what we need to change about ourselves to make the most of it. This month Monty says that impulse is exactly when you're giving your power away.

October's energy brings new opportunities and new collaborations. The challenge is showing up to them as yourself rather than reshaping your energy to fit what they seem to need. Kim shares a personal story about an internship in her early twenties where she changed everything about herself to fit the opportunity, and what happened when it still didn't work out.

This is part one of two. Next week's episode covers energetic interactions and how to work with different energies in a way that's actually beneficial to you.

Topics covered:

• Why changing yourself for opportunities leaves you feeling hollow even when it works
• The difference between surrender and submission in spiritual practice
• How to pause and ask what your energy wants to bring before you respond
• Why your unique energy is what makes the collaboration valuable in the first place

Feeling pulled in too many directions? This channeled guided meditation with spirit guide Monty guides you through releasing energetic cords and attachments, connecting with source and earth energy, and coming back to the part of you that is already enough exactly as you are.

This meditation is designed to help you return to your own energy when the external world is telling you who you need to be. It can be used any time you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you've been running on shame or obligation instead of your own inner knowing.

What this meditation covers:

• Grounding and anchoring into your body
• Releasing energetic cords and attachments
• Connecting with source energy from above and earth energy from below
• Coming into your soul seat and expanding your own energy
• Self-love for the parts of you that feel like they're not enough

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.

You're doing the visualizations, the journaling, the meditation. You're showing up to the spiritual work consistently. And somehow you're still not getting where you want to go.

Monty's message this week is about why. Every time you show up to a spiritual tool with a predetermined idea of who you should be or what you need to heal, you're compressing your energy into a checkbox. And your energy cannot be contained in something that small.

This episode is about what happens when you let go of the checklist entirely and let your own energy be the guide instead. Kim also shares her own checklist habit and why this transmission hit close to home.

Topics covered:

- Why showing up to spiritual tools with a checklist limits your energy
- How external programming disguises itself as your own goals and desires
- What it means to let your energy guide the visualization instead of the other way around
- Why surrendering to your own energy is the scariest and most powerful thing you can do

Somewhere in the back of your mind a voice is saying you really let yourself go this summer and it's time to get it together.

That voice is shame. And Monty's message this week is that shame is not the motivator you think it is.

This episode is about the difference between your state of being and your state of acting, why they're not the same thing, and why disciplining yourself into the version of you that you want to be will always feel hollow. Kim also shares how she fell straight into this trap the moment fall arrived, even after a summer of intentional rest.

Part two drops next week with specific steps for moving forward without shame as the driver.

Topics covered:

- Why shame as a motivator keeps you stuck in a mask
- The difference between your state of being and your state of acting
- Why you are already enough even when your actions don't reflect it yet
- How to ask what you're capable of in this moment instead of what you should be doing

September is asking you to stop pushing and actually receive your own energy.

Monty's message this month is about self-love as the specific energetic preparation required for the opportunities that are coming. The external changes you've been working toward are closer than you think. But to be ready for them, your energy has to be in the right place. And that starts with accepting who you are right now.

Kim also shares how 2026 has been the year of internal work finally pushing toward external change, and why luck is really just your energy meeting an opportunity at the right moment.

Topics covered:

• Why September calls for rest, self-acceptance and self-love
• How guilt and shame block the opportunities coming your way
• Why loving who you are now is the energetic preparation for external change
• What Monty said about the opportunities waiting just around the corner

This 2026 Eclipse Portal has brought awareness and given you permission to be who you want to be. And then immediately all you can think is "My life won't let me be who I want!"

In this final message of the eclipse portal series, Monty reframes that belief entirely. Your environment doesn't actually have preferences about who you get to be. What you've been calling your environment is really just a collection of other people's individual choices, and you've been letting that add up into a wall you built yourself.

Your energetic environment travels with you everywhere. Which means you've been creating it all along. Monty also offers a simple exercise to start moving stuck energy outward so the frustration of this portal can finally release.

Part One: https://youtu.be/zBgYh4Hywz4
Part Two: https://youtu.be/Y7sabAd2OvQ

Topics covered:
- Why your environment doesn't actually have preferences about who you get to be
- How you've been mistaking individual choices for an unchangeable collective truth
- Why your energetic environment travels with you everywhere you go
- Monty's exercise for moving stuck energy outward and releasing frustration

You've had the awareness. Something isn't working. You can feel who you want to be. And now the instinct is to change everything externally so you can finally be that person.

Monty's message this week is that this instinct is a trap. The version of yourself you're waiting to become already exists inside you right now. The missing step isn't changing your external reality. It's giving yourself permission to be that version of yourself first.

If you missed part one, start there before listening to this one: https://youtu.be/zBgYh4Hywz4

Topics covered:

- Why changing the external world first keeps you stuck
- The question Monty offers: "How shall I be?"
- Why the most aligned version of you doesn't need new energy to arrive
- What permission actually looks like energetically during this portal

We are in an eclipse portal running from the solar eclipse in Leo on August 12th through the lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28th. This is the end of one eclipse cycle and the beginning of another, and the energy it's bringing isn't new energies arriving. It's new awareness of what's already there.

In part one, Monty walks us through the first phase of this portal: awareness. Why frustration is the signal that something is shifting, what this Leo and Pisces axis is illuminating, and what to pay attention to over the coming weeks.

This is part one of three. Each episode drops weekly throughout the portal.

Topics covered:

• What the Leo and Pisces eclipse axis is activating
• Why frustration is the signal that awareness is arriving
• The difference between new energies and new awareness
• What to watch for as this portal unfolds

Most of us have been told to fake it till we make it. And most of us have done it. But every time you put on that version of yourself like a costume, you're confirming to yourself that who you want to be isn't really you. That's imposter syndrome on repeat.

In this episode Monty explains the energetic reason that gap keeps widening, and offers a two-step morning practice to start closing it from the inside. Kim also shares a personal story about lying about her age in her early twenties and what that revealed about the mask she was wearing underneath it all.

Topics covered:

• Why faking it reinforces the belief that your aligned self isn't actually you
• The energetic difference between putting on a persona and radiating from within
• A two-step morning practice from Monty to start integrating that version of yourself
• How the solar plexus holds the mental constructs keeping you stuck

Most of us can picture the most aligned version of ourselves. And most of us experience that version as someone pretty far away, almost like a stranger we don't quite trust yet.

August's energy keeps showing you that version. The realizations are arriving. The question is whether you're brave enough to actually be that version, and why the fear of being seen is at the root of why most people aren't.

Monty's energy update for August covers how to work with the new perspectives arriving this month, why these realizations are about uncovering who you already are rather than changing who you are, and why the fear of being witnessed is connected to seeing your aligned self as someone else.

Part two of this message drops next week with specific tools and techniques.

Topics covered:

• What the new energies arriving in August are showing you
• Why your most aligned self feels like a stranger
• The difference between changing who you are and uncovering who you already are
• Why fear of being witnessed keeps you stuck
