Do you feel like your inner perfectionist keeps you from experiencing good things because you write them off as not good enough? When it comes to relationships, we can have the idea of what a perfect partner is when in reality we are searching for something that exists. That’s why it’s so important to tune into how we actually feel about someone, and if these feelings are being influenced by past trauma. In this episode, Sheleana Aiyana dives into how we can take a look at our own personal experiences and traumas to uncover the root cause and from that place be able to engage in conscious relationships that foster safety, trust, freedom, and honesty.

You may have heard the saying; “thoughts create things”. Did you know that a repeated thought can have a powerful effect on your life, your relationships, and the world around you?

Renowned Medical Intuitive, Jean Sheehan joins me to discuss this concept and explore how you can live a higher vibration life by choosing better thoughts, creating awareness around your food choices and learning to communicate with what your body telling you, through understanding ailments, pain and illnesses you are experiencing within the physical self. Jean is about helping people with new beginnings, new life and manifesting all their hearts desires to design their destiny, according to the ancient wisdom of past and new quantum mechanics of the future.
