Episode notes

We've got a surprise for you this week – Sabrina is back! She and Sonia T. are taking full control of the mic while Sonia C. is teaching, and they are tackling the barking dogs. We've all had seasons when the barking dogs are really revved up, but when your expectations of yourself and others start to spin out of control, it's time for you to take charge and calm down.

This week's theme is: You – not your barking dog – are in control of you!

Reserve your seat at the Speed Dial Your Guidance Experience today!

Eclipse season is wrapping up, and our spirits are rejoicing! Something about the shadows that come out during eclipse season can leave us feeling unsettled about our lives and unsure about our relationships, but it doesn't have to be that way! Being intuitive sometimes means knowing others' needs even before they do, but that awareness dial doesn't always need to be turned up to full volume. You can choose to quiet the dial, and you just may preserve your happy relationships in the process!

Today on the podcast, we also welcome Pete and Peony, the barking dogs! Your ego intellect can be named and can be put to good use in service to your spirit. But when you let the dog drive the bus, it gets really loud, really quickly! When your barking dog gets critical and starts thinking in black and white and just knows it's right about everything, it's time to name it to tame it. Remember, you are in control here, not your barking dog.

Tool of the Week: Embrace your inner child, but don't let her drive the bus. [39:10]

Question of the Week: Are birds really my spirit guides? [42:54]
