I CAN'T STAND IT! Super fired up today, probably related to eclipse season and all other fuckery in the cosmos. 

Synopsis: I recently finished a few shifts on a film set where I was IMMEDIATELY reminded how some industries/companies have leaders who avoid taking personal responsibility and use performance reviews to hide their own inadequacies. 

In this share, I go to town on how "underperformance" isn't real, and how it is used by managers who have not properly trained or clearly communicated their expectations. I also break down the responsibilities the employee has when they have been assessed as "unfit for the role" – and provide a basic strategy for communicating their needs.

Nothing works me up more than unfairly treated employees in the workplace. So the next time you hear: "Prove Yourself" or "Do You Know Who You Are Talking To?" please refer to this podcast, reach out to me, and know that I am aggroed too. I have a zero-tolerance policy for this archaic, abuse of power, delusion many workplaces are still enforcing. F*ck that shit - you deserve better. Everyone does!

Guiding Tarot: Motherpeace's World (XXI) up and slight right. Description: We are breaking free into a new cycle. The old is completed and many new things are now possible since she has done her work. She wants to be done with the past and move on to the new life (heck yes I do!)

This was my third go at recording this message and in it, you'll hear why.

Recently I have questioned my process as a creator because I so lovingly believe(d) in the power of just getting it out there that I rarely took the time to finesse or value what it was that I created. I discovered that my worth is impacted by this belief and that in order to create something with value and true impact, I need to take myself and what I create seriously. I now see that I was devaluing my words, my time, my talent, and my energy but half-assing it. My commitment going forward is to invest in myself (hair and possibly make-up) and in this podcast, by recording it with intention and clarity. I am now creating with the belief that what I have to offer is a gift and who I am is a work of art.

The Power of a Purge is about clearing out stagnant chi from your mind, body, and spirit – on a cellular level. It is about getting rid of the thoughts and memories stored in your being that take up space and prevent you from receiving what you want to come through. It's time for a daily spring cleaning!

Intuitives I rate and mention in this episode include:

This idea came to me today and it is currently marinating. I wholeheartedly believe the evolution of human consciousness is the radical acceptance, belief, and practice of fluid free will.

Don't get me wrong, there are cultures, beings, and teachings who have always known this, yet as we "evolved" (or I would suggest "devolved") into a hierarchical society we placed notions around right or wrong, good or evil, boy or girl, gay or straight, etc. Our evolution in consciousness, I believe, is the complete and total acceptance of free will and all of its expressions. This means that we understand: as human beings we are ever presented with opportunities to pivot into a new way of being that contradicts our previous way of existing, and that is okay. In fact, it is more than okay. It is the human experience. Life on the physical plane fully lived in a constant state of fluidity.

This has been an orbiting concept that regularly visits my consciousness. By no means do I have it figured out. In the days since recording this, it has become clear to me that a frustration and resistance I have within myself is that my inner sense of self is not reflected in my outer confidence. This has been an ongoing shadow and refusal to admit that my rounded shouldered posture affects how I show up in the world.

I think maybe the true "goal" or natural way of being is when the two align. Also, I'm big into Ainslie MacLeod's work and he shared a great post about this conundrum. He says in his caption: "And sometimes the other person will sense an incongruence between what they see and what they feel. Then, this might send you further down the people-pleasing hole, thinking you need to “try harder,” rather than recognizing the need to be authentic." The whole post can be viewed here.

Enjoy :)

In this share, I explore a theme that's been repeatedly on my mind this past week. It is the assumption that we will die of old age and it just isn't true. If we think of how many friends, relatives, people on the news, and others who have died "too soon" of "before their time" – we realize that our language and our beliefs perpetuate the guarantee of old age – and that there is no incarnation that promises such a lifetime.

Hopefully, without being too depressing, I wonder about how I would show up differently in each moment, how I would change my circumstance today if I didn't think I had my whole life ahead of me to figure things out. It is a short share but for me, it has had profound new thought paths. I hope it'll make you think too.

A great Christmas rom-com book I mention is In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren - I highly recommend it if you are looking for something light during the holidays :)

Last week I put out another Episode 8 and somehow it felt wrong. At the time I didn't get it. I had received repeated visions of using my throat and I really felt like I had to share on this platform. After recording it I felt out of integrity, so I deleted it.

This week, I've revisited the initial concept of Karmic Anxiety but in a different context. I think one day I will record another share about romantic attachments and how even if in a second, we can connect on a soul level and feel that sense of "we've done this before," but that will be on another day. Maybe Valentine's Day ;p

Anyway, today's share is about the past life fear that prevents me from truly living. My fear of being kidnapped. Almost daily, I have the fear of being followed or that someone will kidnap me - either from my home or whilst I'm walking. What I didn't mention in the share is that a big reason why I cycle everywhere; it feels/seems the safest. If I had to, I would have the option of ditching and running on foot and/or taking pedestrian-only pathways, or can I slip out of sight in traffic. Clearly, I have given escape plans A LOT of thought – and that is what this episode is about.

This is a scratching of the surface of Past Live(s) regression work and I recommend if you are interested in it, you check out Ainslie MacLeod's work. He's been on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, and many other West Coast woo-woo podcasts. He's the real deal. His books The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended and The Old Soul Guidebook: Who You Are, Why You're, and How to Navigate Life on Earth Here are bestsellers and if you still aren't sure, check out his ig.

My main intention at the end of this share is that a fear or phobia that you have dismissed is given space. May you recognize what is holding you back, so you can comfort it and hold your soul in the way that no one else can.

Happy Wednesday :)

Oh boy, where do I even start with this one?! I have been a little confused as to where to take Voice Nodes – and what it ultimately wants to be. In my state of limbo, both with this platform of expression and in general in my life, I have begun to lean into anger as both a teacher and an outlet. The share is about something I witnessed on ABC's The Bachelorette (Season 17) that mimicked something I experienced recently in one of my friendships, and one that resurfaced a buried trauma from with my first love. 

My overall sense with Millenials (and probably Gen Z's) and our collective obsession with personal development and psychology are that we are misusing trauma vocabulary and cancelling those who hurt us, under the facade of self-love. When really I believe it is self-preservation and a coping mechanism. 

My interest and deep dive, in this share, aims to raise the question: Are we using boundaries to cancel others, instead of engaging in uncomfortable conversations that would exercise our capacity to embody empathy? As I say in the closing remarks, everyone is worried about the long-term effects of the COVID vaccines, and yet no one is questioning the long-term effects of their contribution to cancel culture, as social beings.

May we think twice before we comment to cancel people on Instagram. May we think twice before we share our opinions of others unsolicited, and may we acknowledge that our bias exists and it prevents us from ever fully seeing the entirety of the situation.

Would love to hear your thoughts,

Welcome to Voice Nodes :D

Finally, it's here!!! My first share with a guest turned friend who I discovered on Instagram and then properly met in this episode. Her name is Allie Berry, an Aura Priestess, the host of her new podcast Spirit Goodies, and an all-around inspiring intuitive who says it like it is. She is an absolute source of wisdom on the tradition of Priestesses, how money amplifies who we are, and discovering a mystical Jesus.

Quick disclaimer, this was my first time doing the audio on a different platform and it wasn't great. I am quite quiet but luckily you can hear Allie perfectly. I recommend cranking the volume.

As always, let me know what you think and you can reach out to Allie via her channels linked at the bottom of the show notes.

Together, we explore:

Welcome to Voice Nodes :)

This share is personal and filled with rage, but delivered concisely and without aggression. It is definitely worth a lesson for anyone who has been invited into a "social economy" by a friend or family member; otherwise known as a pyramid scheme.

I have recently been presented with an invitation to one and it took me to a very dark place in the questioning of my beliefs and practices. This particular one cultivates a community of wellness/intuitive female practitioners looking to launch themselves in the space. I go into my own experiences with this type of capitalist corruption and I reiterate the importance of questioning whether something demanding our attention is upholding the patriarchal structure of a triangle or offering solutions to reform our current system into a matriarchal circle. I have shared about this extensively on Instagram, see links below, and I really want to invite listeners into sharing their own experience with this type of energy. I believe it was healing for me to share and that there will be healing for others too.

CORRECTION: I also wanted to revisit something I was incorrect about in the share. The partial word "archy" does not directly mean oppression or hierarchy, but rather means "to rule, govern, lead, or chief". Therefore, patriarchy is "a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is the ruler (governer/leader/chief).

In it, I explore:
