Trusting Your Intuition With Megan Mary And Ronnie Ann Ryan

If you have a feeling about something in business or a challenge in life, trusting your intuition is a must. I talk about why you should trust your gut which will not lead you astray. That’s what your ego does! Inner Wisdom Solves Problems Trusting your inner wisdom is what drives me and why I work with people who need to solve problems or have business issues. No matter how much information and data you collect, there is rarely enough ideal information to make a solid decision. Somehow there’s always a bit of guess work. You can make a pro and con list. You can make a grid that examines all your options. But ultimately, intuition eliminates the guessing by using this innate resource. That’s why your intuition can really save your butt, your bank account, and even your heart. This week I am sharing this super fun interview published by my good friend Megan Mary’s on her Women’s Dream Enlightenment podcast. My Spiritual Journey We discuss my journey from business consultant to becoming a love coach and then an intuitive guide. I talk about how I have gone about integrating intuition, dreams, Akashic Records, and past lives into my work. I also offer energy healing and bioenergetic clearing that works amazingly well to help you know your next step, move forward by taking action. Trusting My Gut Later, I share personal stories about how trusting my gut and relying on intuition has been invaluable in my business. I’ve made some very big decisions that went against how things looked on paper. I left money sitting on the table, as they say, which went against all logic. But I totally trusted myself. Months later, the truth came out and I discovered that these choices were solid decisions that served me very well. There have been no missteps resulting from relying on my inner wisdom. It is tried and true method for decision making, and a proven resource that has never let me down yet! I also recounted how dreams guided me since this is Megan Mary’s favorite topic. Figuring out what my dreams are telling me is a lot of fun and incredibly helpful. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth giving it a try. This is another place where trusting your intuition comes into play – through your subconscious mind and dreams. Sneak Peak of My Book In addition I spoke a little about my upcoming book with the working title Conversations on the Inner Plane – How to Talk to Anyone or Anything Intuitively. I have talked with people who have passed, fictional characters, historical individuals, as well as deities, faeries, plants, animals, and even fire! I give some practical advice on strengthening intuition with a couple of very simple tips to work with. I’m always willing to help someone out working on developing and trusting your intuition. Megan Mary and I had a lot of fun in this conversation and that is obvious as we converse easily and have a few good laughs. Being a guest on someone else’s podcast is a nice switch for me and I look forward to doing more of this in 2025. Hope you enjoy and as always wishing you love and magic and thanks for listening! If you want to hear Megan Mary talk about her dream work, list to this episode. The post Trusting Your Intuition With Megan Mary And Ronnie Ann Ryan appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Honoring the Mystical Moon’s Ancient Wisdom

Do you celebrate the mystical moon to leverage its cycles for spiritual growth and manifestation? Learn all about how to do that in this latest episode. Work with the Moon’s Cycles The moon’s journey from new to full and back again is a continuous cycle, representing the rhythms of life—beginnings, growth, completion, and renewal. Each phase offers an opportunity to work with specific energies: New Moon – A time of darkness and introspection, the new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle. It’s a time to plant seeds of intention, start new projects, and set goals. Full Moon – Illuminated and powerful, the full moon represents culmination and release. This phase invites reflection, celebration of achievements, and letting go of what no longer serves. Reflect & Let Go with the Full Moon The full moon is a powerful phase for celebrating achievements, gaining clarity, and releasing anything that no longer aligns with your highest self. Harness the mystical moon three ways: 1. Release and Let Go – The full moon is ideal for clearing your energy and releasing burdens. Write down what you want to let go of—negative thought patterns, toxic relationships, or old habits. Burn the paper in a safe setting, allowing the fire to transform and release these energies into the Universe. 2. Review Accomplishments – Take time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished and what you’re grateful for. Write these things down in a journal or speak them aloud under the moonlight. Gratitude shifts your energy and opens the door for more abundance. 3. Charge Crystals and Make Moon Water – Place your crystals under the moonlight to cleanse and recharge them. You can also make moon water by leaving a sealed jar of water outside or on a windowsill overnight. Use this energized water for drinking, rituals, or watering plants to carry the moon’s energy into your daily life. Manifest with the New Moon 1. Set Intentions – New moon energy is perfect for clarifying your goals and dreams. Take some time to journal about what you want to manifest in the coming weeks or months. Write your intentions as affirmations, focusing on what you want to attract rather than what you wish to avoid. 2. Create a Vision Board – Visualize your intentions by creating a vision board. Gather images, words, and symbols that represent your goals and dreams. Arrange them on a board or in a digital format and place it somewhere you’ll see it regularly. This visual reminder will keep your intentions at the forefront of your mind. 3. Meditate and Reflect – Meditation during the new moon can help you connect with your inner self and the Universe. Sit in a quiet space, light a candle, and focus on your breath. Visualize your intentions taking root and growing stronger with each breath you take. Connect with your spirit guides, angels, or higher self and request their help. Follow the Lunar Phases While the new moon and full moon each offer distinct energies, combining rituals for both phases can create a balanced and holistic approach to honoring the mystical moon’s cycles. Here’s how you can integrate these practices into your life: 1. Track the Moon’s Phases – Keep a lunar calendar to track the moon’s phases and align your activities with its energy. This awareness helps you stay connected to the natural rhythms of life. 2. Create a Lunar Journal – Document your intentions during the new moon and your reflections during the full moon. Over time, you’ll notice patterns, progress, and areas where you can grow. 3. Host a Moon Circle – Gather friends or loved ones to celebrate the moon’s cycles together. Share intentions, perform rituals, and support each other’s growth. A moon circle fosters community and deepens the collective energy of your practices. Honor the Mystical Moon’s Wisdom The moon’s cycles remind you of the ever-changing nature of life. By celebrating the new moon and full moon, you can align with these rhythms, creating space for growth, renewal, and transformation. Whether you’re setting intentions under the darkness of the new moon or releasing old patterns under the brilliance of the full moon, these practices can bring greater mindfulness and balance to your life. The next time the moon begins its cycle, take a moment to pause and honor its magic. By connecting with the moon’s energy, you’re also connecting with ancient wisdom that has guided humanity for generations. Celebrate the moon’s cycles, and let its light guide you on your soul’s path. The post Honoring the Mystical Moon’s Ancient Wisdom appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

The New Earth: Will It Find Us or Must We Create It?

Do we need to create the New Earth or will it just happen to us? This is the big question I explore with my guest, MarBeth Dunn, in this week’s deep, eye-opening episode. Buzz about the New Earth There’s a lot of buzz these days about the “New Earth.” If you’ve been on YouTube or social media, you’ve probably seen theories about some big split happening—a divide where people end up on totally different paths. Some experts even describe it as two parallel realities where certain people no longer interact or even see each other. Bashar, channeled by Daryl Anka, compares the New Earth coming to having two trains on separate tracks. The catch? You’ve got to pick your train fast because they’re leaving the station soon and you won’t get to change tracks later. Honestly, I find this idea of a split a little daunting—and, to be real, it just doesn’t sit right with me. Isn’t 5D supposed to be about unity and leaving the duality of 3D behind? How does that jive with this notion of separation? When I hear about these predictions, I can’t help but wonder – aren’t we supposed to be moving away from “us vs. them” thinking? That’s when I asked MarBeth for her take. And, of course, we explored how this same mindset shows up in everyday life—like our divisive politics here in the U.S., where “my way or the highway” seems to rule the day. Why Separation Doesn’t Work For me, the idea of separation doesn’t make sense and feels counterproductive. Like in politics, if differing beliefs divide us so much that families can’t even share a holiday meal, is that really progress? MarBeth and I both see unity as the way forward. The whole idea of splitting into groups on divergent “trains” feels less like ascension and more like elitism. To truly embrace the New Earth, it seems to us that unity has to be front and center—not separation. Gratitude Fosters Unity As MarBeth pointed out, real progress starts with finding ways to connect, even when we don’t agree. She’s deeply inspired by A Course in Miracles, as a long term student and teacher of this work. The Course reminds us that “we all need to go together.” That vision of unity isn’t something that will just arrive or happen to us—it’s something we create through our everyday thoughts and actions. One simple but powerful practice to create unity and positivity is focusing on gratitude. Shifting our attention from what divides us to what connects us also naturally raises our vibration. And as MarBeth and I agree, gratitude is one key to harmony. By prioritizing connection and appreciation, we start creating the kind of world we all want to live in from the inside. Are World Peace and Inner Peace Related? Words, Blessings, and the Ripple Effect Another positive action we explored is the power of words and blessings. Words carry energy, and they set intentions that ripple outward to others around us. MarBeth shared a beautiful practice she uses: choosing a word as a guide for her life. Words like “unity” or “serenity” can become focal points, helping us live more intentionally. I shared a practice I’ve been experimenting with – sending blessings to others. Whether it’s family, friends, or even strangers, offering blessings sets a positive energy in motion. According to MarBeth, one of the Universal Laws states giving and receiving are the same. So, when you bless someone else, that energy comes back to you! How cool is that? Blessings act like a boomerang and the sending benefits as well. MarBeth also talked about her initiative, Ten Million for World Peace, which organized meditations focused on peace in the Middle East. Back in 2018, MarBeth conducted her own social experiment, gathering a group to meditate on Peace in this troubled area. They saw incredible results—a measurable 20% drop in violence during the time of the experiement. This is proof that collective intention can create real, tangible change. Finding Common Ground We also touched on some incredible stories of finding common ground in unexpected ways. One study brought gay liberal women into the homes of deeply religious conservative men. The goal? To foster understanding and connection. And it worked! These individuals found commonality and even became friends. (I couldn’t find this research but I did find this NY Times article about “A Republican and a Democrat Sit Across From Each Other…” The focus is an initiative called “One Small Step,” which tackles political polarization by facilitating conversations between people with opposing views.) What a beautiful reminder that when we’re open to possibility, unity isn’t just achievable—it’s transformative. MarBeth also mentioned Dolores Cannon’s work with Nostradamus, who foresaw a future of peace if humanity could survive the challenges of the 1990s. He believed we could create 1,000 years of harmony by meditating with the intention of unifying the world. It’s wild to think about the potential we hold to shape our reality. Each Moment Offers a Choice At the end of the day, it all comes down to our choices. In every moment, we can choose unity over separation, love over fear, and connection over division. By embracing these choices, we raise the collective vibration of humanity and move closer to the New Earth we’ve been dreaming of. Thank you, MarBeth, for such an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation. It’s through these kinds of exchanges that we begin to imagine—and create—a more harmonious world. BIO – MarBeth Dunn She’s an expert on somatic healing, world peace, inner peace, and meditation. She passionately supports and empowers sensitive women to take charge of their energy and release stress. Her inspiring work has been featured on Fox, NBC, CBS, and The CW.

Numerology for 2025 – What’s in Store for You?

Are you curious about what the year 2025 has in store for you from a numerology perspective? In this special year – end episode, you’ll get an exciting glimpse into what this upcoming year might mean for both you and the world. Plus, you’ll discover how to calculate and understand your personal number for the year as well. My research included these two articles: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2025-numerology-meaning https://www.russh.com/2025-predictions-according-to-numerology Understanding Numerology for 2025 As we stand on the brink of 2025, it’s fascinating to note that this is a nine year, which signifies the end of a cycle. That’s because when you add the digits of 2025 together, 2 + 0 + 2 + 5, you get nine. But what exactly does a nine year signify? Numerology tells us it’s a time for closure and reflection. It’s about bringing projects and sometimes relationships to completion. Seeing life from a higher viewpoint, it’s also a profound year for spiritual alignment and realizing collective growth and the good of the whole. According to numerology experts, a nine year encourages us to consider a shift towards generosity and humanitarianism. It’s all about making a difference in the bigger picture and helping to create positive change. Personal Numerology for 2025 So, what does this mean for you personally? To find out the number for the year that’s personal for you, just add your birth month and day to 2025. For example, if you’re like me with a birthday on January 8th, you would add 1+8+2+0+2+5 = 18 which added together is 9. My personal year is also nine, matching the collective energy. Based on how your digits add up, here’s what the other numbers mean: #1 –  A year for new beginnings and fresh ideas. It symbolizes a brand new chapter, setting the stage for new opportunities. #2 –   Centered around relationships, it’s a time for connecting, fostering, and evaluating the connections in your life. #3 –  Emphasis on creativity, perfect for diving into new creative pursuits or expressing yourself artistically. #4 –  Focused on organization and structure, this number signifies a time to plan, set long-term goals, and build a strong foundation. #5 – An invitation to seek freedom and adventure, to explore and break ties with what no longer serves you. #6-  A time for personal growth and self-reflection, nurturing relationships, and developing a sense of balance and harmony. #7 –  A year dedicated to introspection and wisdom, offering a chance for personal insight and deeper understanding. #8 – The number of ambition and abundance, bringing a focus on realizing goals and finding balance between the material and spiritual realms. With these numbers in mind, 2025 invites introspection and action, encouraging you to align your deeds with your core values. New Year’s Eve Manifesting With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, there’s no better time to start thinking about your intentions for 2025. One ritual I find deeply powerful is manifesting my desires by writing them down and ceremonially burning the list. This transformative act of burning the paper symbolizes releasing old energies and drawing in new, aligned intentions. Your desires about letting go and manifesting new things are sent out to the Universe on the smoke, alerting your helpers in spirit like angels, spirit guides, ancestors and more of your wishes. I recommend you consider what truly makes you happy beyond the typical kind of goals like career or fitness. What would make you smile and how do you want to feel? Do you want to feel cherished, connected to nature, or begin a spiritual journey? Reflect on the deeper aspirations that will help you feel satisfied and fulfilled. As 2024 comes to a close, take a moment to breathe in the love and magic that surrounds you. Remember, the energy of 2025 is about spiritual growth and contributing to something greater than yourself. May this year bring you prosperity, joy, and the courage to live out your deepest truths. Happy New Year—and here’s to 2025 being a year full of love and magic for all! The post Numerology for 2025 – What’s in Store for You? appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Ronnie and Marla Reveal 2024’s Most Magical Moments

In this episode, discover the unforgettable magical moments of 2024 that my friend Marla Martenson and I enjoyed. We had so much FUN discussing mediumship, connecting with our mothers in spirit, animal communication, and more! A little about Marla Martenson – She is a matchmaker, coach, energy healer, tarot reader, and is diving deep into mediumship. We told the tales of some extraordinary experiences and mystical stories that shaped 2024 for both of us. Mediumship and Ancestors We kicked off the conversation with Marla sharing a story about a seance she attended at a metaphysical store in Los Angeles (The Green Man Store). During the session, they connected with spirit, and Marla received a poignant message from her grandmother Rose, urging her to turn the page on her grief about her mom. The message for her was spot on and this encounter was a profound reminder of the close connections between our world and the spiritual realm. Our ancestors really are right there for us. And after this session, the sadness has been lifting. For me, the magic of 2024 also included a memorable mediumship reading that Marla did for me! She connected with my mother, who showed her the image of a light switch. Neither of us knew what that meant, but that night when I shut off the light, it flicked back on instantly! I figured this was my mom who next, turned on my Kindle! Talk about magical moments – the whole thing made me laugh and comforted me knowing my mom who has passed is still around. These experiences serve as powerful reminders that the unseen bonds that link us to those we hold dear but have left the earth plane, still do exist. Animal Communication The conversation took an intriguing turn when I recounted a story about a barking dog at the beach. After a peaceful afternoon of sun nad surf, as I walked back to my car, the dog that always barked at me started up. Suddenly, in my mind I heard the instruction to tell the dog, “I love you.”  That seemed completely crazy, but I did it and much to my surprise, the dog stopped barking. In fact, it didn’t bark at me again for the rest of the season. This was certainly one of the year’s most magical moments. I wouldn’t say animal communication is my strong point, but it did make a profound impression of how animals need love and acknowledgment, not just humans. Shaman & Plant Medicine Journeys Marla and I shifted to talk about our spiritual journeys. I had taken a powerful shaman course called Animal Allies with Kerri Hummingbird which was amazing. On one journey in the series, I connected with the spirit of jaguar, who cut me to ribbons, put me back together, and gave me four meaningful gifts including eagle feathers, a quartz crystal, corn kernels, and a new heart. Marla has had many plant medicine journeys over the years, which have opened her to other dimensions and given her transformative insights. She explained how these trips are not for the faint of heart, and the journey she did in 2024 with her Shaman Riz was tough, she said, but the insights were completely worth it. Journeys reveal layers of your consciousness and encourage you to embrace change and healing. Both Marla and I have learned a lot from these deep and insightful experiences. Synchronicities and Cutting Cords Other magical moments included the synchronicities that occur when we think about someone, and they then reach out to us. Marla shared how two friends she hadn’t been in touch with, but thought about recently, just reached out to her. I mentioned how I always know when these two friends in particular are calling on the phone, before I look at the caller ID. Does that ever happen to you too? We also touched on the importance of clearing your energy and cutting cords that connect you to others. This is particularly good to do after conflicts or after being in crowded spaces. Using simple rituals, like calling upon Archangel Michael, can help you release any energetic ties that no longer serve you or weigh you down. As we journey through the year, it’s beautiful to acknowledge these magical moments of synchronicity and transformation. They remind us of the web of life and energy we are all a part of. Fulfillment and Fun Marla’s insights into personal fulfillment resonated deeply with me. It’s so good to seek fulfillment in your pursuits, allowing this to illuminate your path and help you move into being your true self. Embracing your own luminous presence can lead to a profound impact on your life,those around you and the world. We talked about the fulfilling nature of sharing our joy and inspiration. For example, Marla makes daily videos, which not only uplift others but also herself. She creates them simply because they are fun vs. marketing for her business, and she’s always happy to hear what the viewers enjoyed. A Magical Card Reading To wrap up our delightful conversation, we drew cards for the upcoming holiday season. I picked a card from the gorgeous Fairy Forest Oracle Cards that conveyed a message of shining hope and a positive future. It reinforced the theme of magical transformation and optimism. Marla picked cards that highlighted fulfillment, luminosity, and evolution, perfectly encapsulating our 2024 magical moments and personal and spiritual growth throughout this year. As we conclude another year and look forward 2025, we hope you embrace your own magical experiences and share in the joy and love surrounding you. Celebrating these moments of connection and transformation keeps the spark in your everyday life! Wishing you a magical holiday season and an enchanting year!   The post Ronnie and Marla Reveal 2024’s Most Magical Moments appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

The Goddess of Winter Solstice or Santa’s Naughty Little Secret

Ever wonder about the story behind Santa? I’m pulling back the curtain on what many don’t know about Santa and the Goddess of Winter Solstice in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. The jolly man in a red suit flying through the sky and dropping gifts isn’t quite what he seems. In fact, his story has deep roots intertwined with myths, folklore, and the winter solstice—dating way back before Christmas as we know it today. The Surprising Origins of Santa Did you know that Santa’s tale is borrowed from a myriad of myths and legends, particularly those that were female-oriented? That’s right! Our beloved Santa owes his origin to the ancient Goddess of Winter. These goddesses were believed to bring back the sun after the long, dark days of winter. One enlightening discovery was about reindeer. Contrary to the tales of Rudolph and his male companions, the female reindeer actually lead the herds during the harsh winter months. In fact, the males lose their antlers for winter! These insights come from Danielle Proham Olson’s wonderfully researched blog, GatherVictoria.com. Her holiday posts paint a vivid picture of winter traditions linked to sacred goddesses and the solstice. Listen to the first podcast I did about Santa being a woman, relying on her research Fascinating Winter Solstice Myths Let’s delve into some fascinating winter solstice myths from around the globe. This year, a legend from Italy came to my attention on Instagram. Two Italian men were telling the tale of La Befana, a witch who would swoop through the sky on her broom to drop gifts down chimneys. This tradition is celebrated on the Christian holiday of Epiphany, January 6th, and was when people exchanged gifts before World War ll, instead of on Christmas as others do. Take the Nordic goddess Beavi, a sun deity associated with fertility who traveled in a sleigh made of reindeer bones. In Lapland, ceremonial hats from medicine women were discovered, adorned in the familiar red and white that Santa sports today. Across different cultures living close to the Arctic Circle, the Deer Mother was revered for bringing the sun back on the Winter Solstice, and taking care of the herds, vital for any tribe’s survival. Japan’s Amaterasu is the Sun Goddess, aligned with the winter solstice. Her retreat into a cave for winter was the reason for darkness and the sun’s return happened as she came out of the cave. Winter Goddesses Across the Globe In Germany, the Goddess of Winter was Perchta, who rewarded good children just like LeBefana, by dropping treats down hte chimney. Another Norse Goddess of Winter is Frigg, who influenecd the length and severity of winter. She was often shown holding a spindle which is used for weaving as she was in charging of weaving the wheel of the year, emphasizing the cyclical return of light and life. From Celtic lands, the Goddess of Winter is Cailleach, also called the Winter Hag. She was the one who brought the snow and cold, symbolizing transformation and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Last but not least, is the North American Hopi tribe with the Creator Goddess, Spider Woman. She was the focus of the annual Soyal Festival for the winter solstice, which celebrated the sun’s victory over winter’s darkness. She spun a web that connected everyone. I was struck by how these narratives echo a shared understanding of light, renewal, and connection to the earth. These myths feel like threads tying us to our ancestors, revealing their ways of relating to the natural world. As Christianity spread, many of the pagan traditions were absorbed, reshaped, and sometimes suppressed by new religious narratives and authorities. Yet, they persist today, whispering the original tales of light-bringing goddesses through history and culture. There are more Goddesses of Winter which you can hear about in the podcast including Isis, Tonantzin, Lutzelfrau, Lusse, and Skadi! Manifesting on the Winter Solstice The winter solstice is also a potent day for setting intentions and manifesting! This day marks the beginning of growing daylight, providing a six-month period to nurture your dreams and aspirations. There’s a favorite manifesting technique I share at the end of the podcast, so listen till the end to discover what to try on your own. Ancient Tales of the Goddess of Winter From the resonant wisdom of winter goddesses to the empowering energy of manifestation, this journey is an exciting exploration of your spiritual heritage. As you rediscover these ancient stories, you not only learn about the world but also about your shared journey with it. These tales, buried and uncovered like ancient artifacts, help illuminate the path forward. If you’re as fascinated by these myths and spiritual teachings as I am, check out the full episode and explore more about the winter solstice’s lesser-known secrets. You never know, these ancient whispers might just spark the manifestation of your dreams! Happy holidays, and be sure to breathe in all the love and magic the season has to offer.

Soul Journey with Art, Feminine Archetypes, and Nomadic Freedom

In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, my guest is a free-spirited artist and wanderer at heart, committed to self-discovery through feminine archetypes, art, and her nomadic lifestyle, traveling the globe. 7 Feminine Archetypes When I stumbled upon Anna Heimkreiter’s work on the web, I was immediately drawn to her beautiful art and the intriguing concept of feminine archetypes. Her website offered a feminine archetypes quiz to discover which one resonates with you. Turns out I am the Huntress archetype. No surprise there, given my love for freedom and independence! Anna discovered these feminine archetypes on her journey of self-discovery and artistic expression. They are symbolic representations of divine feminine traits and roles, offering insights into diverse expressions of femininity that can guide personal growth. She focuses on just seven archetypes, each one holding its own unique beauty and complexity: Mother: Loving, nurturing, warm and supportive Maiden: Curious, growth-oriented, innocent, and playful Huntress: Independent and free, strong, and courageous Mystic: Intuitive, insightful, calm, and balanced Queen: Leader, personal power, confident, and uplifting Sage: Self-mastery, clarity, rational, and wise Lover: Passionate, intimate, magnetic, and sensual Exploring Archetypes Anna’s journey into the world of feminine archetypes began five years ago when a friend introduced her to masculine archetypes. This sparked her curiosity, and she went on to delve deeply into understanding the feminine side. She resonated with the concept of the seven archetypes and found inspiration through Jean Shinoda Bolen’s book, Goddesses in Older Women, which explains these archetypes in connection to Greek mythology. Her exploration led her to create an illustration series representing seven archetypes, the 7 feminine archetype quiz, and her archetype workbooks for self-exploration. Anna believes these feminine models help us understand ourselves better and inspire growth and empowerment. A Roadmap for Personal Growth We discussed how these archetypes can provide a roadmap for growth, for reflection on your developed traits or as aspirational models. Anna shared how embracing the lover archetype, which felt distant to her, enriched her life. Focusing on the strengths and shadows of these archetypes will help you understand your wounds and heal them. Anna’s art and her explorations of the archetypes are closely entwined, providing an avenue for creative self-expression and growth. Creativity is more than just producing work; it’s a path for introspection and connection to your emotions. Her Independent Path Anna’s nomadic lifestyle has been inspired by the Huntress’s desire for freedom and adventure. Her travels started young, with long trips during her studies that spiraled into longer wanderings. Meeting seasoned travelers and experiencing various cultures fueled her desire to live without geographical confines. Her experiences also include spiritual practices like meditation and yoga, which she explored more deeply during her time in Thailand. Anna’s spiritual path has included psychedelics as well, which have taught her about connection and introspection. I was curious about how Anna supports her nomadic lifestyle. She explained that she now works remotely in marketing and her art provides additional income. By living simply and traveling slowly, she keeps her expenses surprisingly low. Workbooks and Wisdom Anna has developed a series of workbooks that delve into each of the seven feminine archetypes. These resources combine her love for introspection, psychology, and creativity. Each workbook provides exercises, journaling prompts, and frameworks to explore the archetypes, including their light and shadow sides. Through these carefully crafted exercises, Anna guides you to discover insights about patterns you harbor, and areas for potential growth.  Designed to bridge the gap between curiosity and self-awareness, the workbooks nurture a unique journey for each reader. Reflect on the Journey Reflecting on her journey, Anna remains open to what’s next while staying grounded in all that she’s experienced. Her creative and spiritual path continues to unfold, inspiring those who encounter her work. Anna Heimkreider most definitely lives by her own design. Listen to the story of my spiritual adventure in this episode. Today, Anna has returned home to reflect on her many adventures and regroup before the next journey begins. Take the Free Quiz – 7 Feminine Archetypes on Anna’s website. It’s a wonderful first step into a realm filled with discovery, growth, healing, and art. BIO – Anna Heimkreiter Anna is a free-spirited artist, photographer, and illustrator inspired by the beauty of nature and her own introspective journey. Since embracing a nomadic life in 2019, her adventures and art shape one another. A self-taught creator, Anna’s work—featuring self-portraits, serene landscapes, and dreamlike illustrations—speaks to wonder seekers and dreamers. Her commitment to personal growth and female empowerment has led to recognition for her insights on feminine archetypes, offering valuable tools for those on a journey of self-discovery.

Feeling Stuck? Unlock Wisdom With A Past Life Reading to Move Forward

In this episode, I share a fascinating past life reading for my client, Bella. She came to me feeling stuck and uncertain about how to move forward and was seeking guidance that would help her get moving. This was a wise choice because exploring past lives often reveals patterns and insights that influence the present. Standing at the Crossroads Bella was at a crossroads, contemplating many diverse interests which left her feeling scattered and overwhelmed. She was searching for clarity, hoping that understanding her past lives would light her path forward. That’s why she came to me for a past life reading. After chatting, I entered the Akashic Records to uncover Bella’s soul history. The vision began at a lively carnival, reminiscent of the early 1900s in Europe. I saw Bella as a teenager, bouncing from activity to activity, embodying the Romani spirit. She had talents in performance, card reading, and acrobatics—yet she showed a pronounced fear of committing to one path, afraid of missing out on others. Lives Without Choice This fear stemmed from a number of lives where she focused on being of service. She was a nun several times, where her choices were well-defined and highly limited. This meant her personal desires took a backseat to the steep obligations of her religious life. Bella had experienced many such lifetimes across different cultures, spending most of her time in devotion. That’s why she lacked the freedom and skill to choose anything else. In other words, she had very little practice with decision making. While these roles enriched her soul with wisdom, they also left her unprepared for the abundance of choices she faced today. Skills from Your Past Lives Exploring more deeply, additional similar lives emerged. Bella had walked this Earth as a Buddhist monk as well as a devotee in other religions. However, one life did stand out, when she worked closely with plants in ancient Egypt. She held significant knowledge about agriculture, plants, and earth magic. The messages from her past life reading were clear—embrace the innate talents garnered through several incarnations with the plant world. Bella possessed a natural connection to plants, herbs, and potions for healing. Today, she has the opportunity to consciously choose a path with newfound freedom. Career Options vs. Hobbies Given this latest information, Bella saw her struggle more as a gift of choice rather than a burden. While she has many interests like painting, singing, and dancing, her inherent skills in herbalism and plants seemed the most relevant to earn a living now. Then she could pursue creative activities as hobbies and enjoy her talents rather than trying to support herself with them. The past life reading offered Bella the chance to see why she struggled to choose a direction for her career. She also learned the importance of distinguishing between work and play. In this way, she can work at something she’s already good at, without abandoning her creative pursuits. Decide & Get Moving The most crucial insight from the session was the need to get started. Rather than continuing to deliberate, it was essential to take that first step with courage. Moving forward is not about patience as much as it is about doing something. By reflecting on her past, Bella realized she could leverage her ancient wisdom to craft a vibrant, purposeful life right now. The journey through her past with a past life reading reminded her that embracing choice and making decisions helps you get unstuck and moving again. When you start taking action, things tend to start falling into place. What about you? If you’d like a past life reading click here to learn more. The post Feeling Stuck?

What Are You Grateful For Today? Gratitude Practice Suggestions

Before I get into the podcast topic of what are you grateful for today, first I want to share some big news. Can you believe it’s already been three years since I started this podcast? Over 200 Episodes! I was quite surprised to find more than 200 episodes have been published! (I don’t number them so I lost track – LOL.) I’m having a moment of immense gratitude, especially with the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, just around the corner. I truly appreciate each listener who has joined me weekly on this magical journey. When I hear from you, it fills my heart with joy and reminds me of the incredible listeners I have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for embracing my suggestions and insights. Now, in the spirit of gratitude, I want to dive into my personal gratitude practice—how I’ve simplified it and how you can incorporate it into your life. The Art of the Gratitude Journal Gratitude is more than a journaling exercise – it’s a way of life! Expressing your gratitude and writing about what you are grateful for today is a strong way to lift your spirits and vibration. You want to get beyond simply listing what you appreciate—it’s about feeling the joy and optimism that gratitude inspires. I noticed a significant change in my outlook when I started noting these small yet wonderful daily blessings in my gratitude journal. So how do I do it? I write in the morning, capturing significant and everyday moments. Whether it’s the sunshine after a rain storm or a fun conversation with a friend, it’s important to recognize these smaller bits of joys. By pushing yourself to appreciate new things consistently, your capacity for gratitude deepens. This simple gratitude practice can enhance and shift your life perspective remarkably. Practice Gratitude Daily Another step in my practice involves taking action and self-care—what I call filling my love tank.” It’s vital to acknowledge the actions you take daily and the ways you cherish yourself. Anything positive can be self-care, from a day at the beach, or a call with a dear friend, to any activity that feeds your soul. These moments fill your self-care tank and enhance gratitude. Every day, jot down these actions that bring you joy alongside your gratitude list. Don’t forget affirmations! At the bottom of my journal page, I write affirmations that reflect what I’m manifesting or aspiring toward in my life. These powerful statements act as reminders of the goals I’m working on. And, like gratitude, they help me maintain a positive outlook. Share Gratitude with Others Sharing gratitude with others can be profoundly connecting. Tell people in your life what you appreciate about them. Let them know why you’re grateful they are in your life. Acknowledging something little, even their smile or laugh, can lift someone’s spirit. Every night, my husband and I share five things we’re grateful for before drifting off to sleep. This bedtime ritual is not only a nice way to end our day positively, but also strengthens our bond. If you’re single, no worries! You can do this on your own or with your kids, or even your pet. The goal is to keep gratitude flowing. What are you grateful for today. Take time to stop and think about it. Remember, you don’t need to strive for perfection in your practice. If you miss a few days, just be gentle with yourself. Gratitude practice isn’t meant to be another thing on your to-do list, but instead a joyful ritual. Customize your gratitude to fit your lifestyle. Maybe a post it note on your bathroom mirror works better for you than a full journal entry. The key is to choose what resonates with you and keeps you engaged. Expand Your Gratitude If you’re having a tough day, try this go-to gratitude exercise. Write down 25 things you’re grateful for. Doing this shifts your focus to the abundance in your life. Once you start creating the list, you’ll find loads of options to include and appreciate. Get more specific by including things you love about different rooms in your house, or broader themes such as gratitude towards your career or relationships. This exercise helps shift your frequency to a higher vibration, unlocking more positivity and opening you up to future blessings. It’s a profound practice to ask what are you grateful for today, nurture your heart, and cultivate an appreciative mindset. Thanksgiving and Gratitude Thanksgiving is the time to embrace gratitude and shift your perspective if needed. Recognize the good that often goes unnoticed in your life. It’s always easy to see what’s lacking and going poorly. However, when you spend time focusing on what’s working in your world, you put your attention on the positive. As you know from the Law of Attraction, like attracts like and what you put your attention on grows. More than ever, the world needs more positive energy. When you consider – what are you grateful for today, you add to the positive energy that ripples out to everyone you come in contact with and then out to the world.

How To Reinvent Yourself At 50 Or Any Age

Ever felt the itch to change or reinvent yourself at 50+, but thought maybe it’s too late? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with Wendy Battles, the brilliant host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast. The Role of Intuition in Reinvention Wendy is a beacon of inspiration, sharing stories about women aged 50 to 90, who’ve dared to reinvent themselves. We talked about how intuition plays a huge role in personal transformation. Wendy explained that going with the nudges she got was essential on her own journey. While still employed, Wendy trained to be a health coach and started this business. However, after a few years, she realized it wasn’t making her happy or her true calling. This revelation came through her intuition. She emphasized the importance of listening deeply to yourself, suggesting meditation and spending time in silence, so you can tune into your inner guidance. If you’re thinking about change and want to reinvent yourself, you’ve got to find that inner wisdom. Hear more about how to use intuition in this fun episode! Think Big and Figure It Out The phrase, “Everything is figureoutable,” popularized by Marie Forleo, means a lot to Wendy. The point is, whether or not you know how to create what you want, you can figure it out when you give it a shot and put your mind to it. We exchanged stories about how this mindset helped both of us manifest our dreams. Both of us ventured into podcasting without prior experience. She trusted the process, took courses, and connected with resources that helped her succeed. Her actions proved that an open mind and perseverance can make the impossible possible. Wendy also believes in the power of sharing her dreams with others. By voicing her plans for a podcast, she found unexpected support and connections that made her journey easier. I echoed this discovery, recounting my own experience of attracting a digital printer when I was publishing my first book. The Universe has a funny way of aligning things when you put your intentions out there. Learn How to Reinvent Yourself at 50+ Wendy has had the privilege of interviewing many inspirational women on her podcast. One standout story was about Dixie Lincoln Nichols, who trusted her intuition to leave a secure teaching job and embark on a new business venture. Dixie co-founded the Life in the Paws Menopause Festival, creating a community for Black women to discuss menopause. This initiative, born from intuition and the desire to serve, demonstrates the power of following your inner knowing. Reinventing herself gave Dixie new purpose and meaning in her life. Embrace Your Unique Path Wendy’s podcast stories highlight how embracing your unique path is vital for success. Her guests often find that their deepest truths come from within. Their journeys are guided by intuition and subtle nudges from the Universe, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life. These tales of how to reinvent yourself at 50+, remind you that it’s never too late to shift gears and pursue your true calling. That’s when she decided to shift again and explore being a podcast host which brings us to her great success today. This heartwarming episode conveyed the joy and magic of reinvention at any age. Wendy’s podcast brings inspirational stories to the forefront, encouraging listeners to embrace change and explore their potential. Tap into Your Intuition When you reinvent yourself by following your intuition, it will lead you to unexpected and rewarding paths. While this path might not be for the faint of heart, Wendy admits that transformation is a powerful and enriching journey, open to anyone willing to tune into their own wisdom. Embrace it and enjoy the adventure! Whether your desire for change is a whisper or a loud yell, remember the answers and guidance lie within yourself. Download Wendy’s Free Gift: “100 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in Midlife,” a guide full of inspiring ideas to spark your curiosity and lead you toward your true north. BIO As the host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast, Wendy Battles interviews brave and unapologetic women, 50-90 years young, who have boldly reinvented themselves to see new possibilities. Wendy shines a light on the notion that we can reinvent ourselves at any age or any stage and is helping to disrupt limiting beliefs about the value of aging women in our society. Wendy believes we reinvent from the inside out – that all the answers we need are already within us. It’s her job to help tease them out. At 59, Wendy is a Reinvention Rebel herself, having reinvented herself many times during her life including as a management consultant, voice actor, and health coach.
