  • E.28 - Catie Fenn - How to Connect with Your Deepest Self
    “The intuitive voice has the blueprint for our lives, but we choose not to listen to it.”
    Catie Fenn

    The One Thing to Takeaway From This Podcast

    How to Connect with Your Deepest Self

     

    Learning which part of the mind is talking to you is key to connecting with your deepest self. 

     

    Understanding whether your personality is speaking, or your egoic mind, or your inner critic, or your inner perfectionist versus finding the voice of your higher self is integral to connecting intimately with yourself.

    Catie Fenn, my guest on this podcast, says that one way to find this voice - your intuitive voice, yourself wisest and truest self - is to create space to start identifying which voice is speaking to you. 

    When we create space, we can listen to the voice that is speaking to you like a best friend. A voice that is supportive and encouraging of yourself. The one that comes from your deepest truth to reconnect with the real you.

    By listening to your deepest voice, it will lead you into states of flow that will allow you to fulfill your life's purpose. It’s trusting in that voice that will lead you to magic. That's when you know you’ll have tapped into your spirituality, and begun living in alignment with your deepest self.

    As long as we allow the egoic mind, personality mind, perfectionist mind or critical mind to rule our domain, we’ll never connect with our true self.

    6 Things You’ll Learn From This Podcast
    • Where Catie has fallen in love with her life @ 3:10
  • How to start aligning with your deepest self @ 27:20
  • To fulfill your life’s purpose here is what you must do and listen to @ 28:55
  • To have everything provided for you in life here is the key thing to follow @ 32:10
  • How Catie practices self-love @ 39:40
  • Where you can find support if you feel alone, it's not where you might expect @ 52:55

    • Who is Catie Fenn?

    Catie is the founder of Love Warrior and a practicing lawyer when she is not teaching people how to create a deeper spiritual connection with themselves.

    She was instrumental in bringing Girl Tribe to Toronto from Vancouver and is also a kids meditation teacher.

    Why did I bring Catie onto the show?

    I brought Catie onto the show because when I met her at an event in Toronto, she was in the midst of launching her next chapter.

    Catie admitted that she recently had a "spiritual smackdown" where she worked so hard to achieve the life she always wanted - being a lawyer on Bay St., living in a downtown condo, dating a guy in a suit and traveling around the world - but when it all came true she was left feeling empty.

    Catie was forced to reconnect with her deepest self and figure out why she wasn't fulfilled by the life she dreamed.

    Learning how to connect with your intuition, living in flow and being in alignment with our purpose can be a messy business. The word purpose can even scare people away. Catie outlines in this podcast how she was able to reconnect herself with her spiritual self and how she supports her clients in connecting with their deepest self.

  • E.27 - Asante Haughton - Overcoming Adversity

    Who is Asante Haughton?

     

    Asante is a human rights and mental health advocate. He works for Pathways to Education and supports high-risk youth through high school to reach post-secondary education.

     

    Asante had a challenging upbringing, battling with anxiety, depression, and addiction. Today he uses these experiences to guide kids through their own challenges and supports them in staying away from the streets.

     

    He is a motivational speaker and has been on panels for mental health. He recently came back from Chile where he spoke about his life.


    Why did I bring Asante onto the show?

     

    I brought Asante onto the show because when I heard his story, I knew it would be beneficial for people to hear. I wanted him to share his experiences with mental health and the struggles he faced growing up.

     

    We all battle our own issues, whether that be with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, addiction or however mental health shows up for you.

     

    I wanted to get his point of view on how he was able to overcome all the adversity in his life and create a life that he is proud of today.


    One Thing To Take Away

    Normalize Your Human Experiences

     

    Asante said one of his biggest breakthroughs came by sharing his story and pain points. Early on in life, he lived with his anxiety, depression, and addictions. He was uncertain about how to voice and articulate them.

     

    He first started sharing his experiences with his therapist. In a short period, his therapist was able to make him see that the emotions he was experiencing, were normal because of the environment he grew up in.

     

    As his confidence grew, he began sharing his experiences more publically and more openly. His mental issues slowly started to go away, and his relationships in life, including with himself, began to improve.

     

    We all have experiences from our past that have shaped and influenced us, but when we can learn to accept these as part of being human, we can come to live in acceptance of how we feel.

     

    In the podcast, I share my experience of living a bisexual life and how confused I was. Only by coming forward, sharing the experience with others, was I able to understand that it was perfectly normal to feel the way I did.

     

    When we share how we feel, we being to normalize our lives and that feeling of being crazy, confused or different from others, begins to diminish.

     

    Seven Things You’ll Learn From This Podcast

     

    Why Asante felt he wasn’t worth it to anybody @ 26:20

  • What holds people back from opening up about mental health @ 30:45

  • The social pressures that keep men back from expressing their feelings @ 36:08

  • How bottled up emotions show up in our lives & Asante’s life @ 38:42 & 39:55

  • How Asante’s life changed once he started expressing his emotions @ 40:44

  • Normalizing our human experiences @ 42:25

  • E.26 - Harnessing Your Intuition in 5 Minutes

    On this episode, we go short again. I break down the best parts of Maxine Friend's long format interview and condense it down into 5 minutes. 


    Maxine is a psychic and I brought her onto the show because she's no joke. She reached out to me after I came forward about being bisexual on my podcast and we had a great conversation about intuition, purpose and trusting in the universe.

    I thought there would be no one better than a psychic to give us some advice on trusting our intuition. 

    This is a new format I'm playing with, so let me know your thoughts.

  • E.25 - Harnessing Your Intuition - Maxine Friend
    Who is Maxine Friend?

    Simply put, Maxine is a psychic. She has the ability to channel energy and uses Rider-Waite deck as her primary form of energy reading. 

    She has appeared in newspapers, magazines, on TV and has a 6-month wait list for her services, so she’s no joke. 

    Why did I Bring Maxine onto the show?

    I brought Maxine onto the show for 2 reasons:

    1 - Maxine comes from a corporate background. She worked for a prominent digital agency in Vancouver for many years prior to becoming a psychic. 

    I wanted to talk to her personally about what inspired her to transition from a stable, high paying corporate job to one of the most stigmatized professions (right up there with a sex worker as Maxine put it). 

    I wanted to hear first hand about the struggles she had with this transition, the stigmas she encountered and the pressures she felt from those closest to her. 

    2 - Maxine supports people in strengthening their connection with their intuition. I wanted to talk to her about how we can tap into our intuition and letting it serve us in our lives.

     

    The 7 Things You Will Learn:

    • When Maxine first recognized her gift and how it was an identity she resisted initially @ 8:35
  • The challenges she experienced at work with the transition @ 26:05
  • Law of Divine Free Will @ 32:55
  • The importance of trusting in your sense of purpose at a deep soul level @ 36:05
  • The distinction between fear & love… what we feed is what we get @ 37:25
  • How do you tap into your intuition? @ 47:25
  • How do we clear our energy bands to allow our intuitive energy to flow through us?  @ 52:00
    • Contact Maxine

    The best way to reach Maxine is through her website. You can also book directly there if you’re interested in working with her.
