Breathe Love & Magic

Have you dabbled in communication with animals? Even just for fun or out of curiosity? If so, you already know how surprising, heart-opening, and downright magical it can be. And if you haven’t tried it yet… buckle up. The possibilities for emotional healing — plus personal and spiritual growth — are honestly astonishing. Animal Communciation That’s exactly what I talked about with animal communicator Genie Joseph in this week’s whimsical episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Genie brought stories, wisdom, and humor to t he show. Our conversation was a reminder that animals are so much more than companions — they’re teachers, healers, guides, and sometimes even philosophers in furry bodies.   The Philosophical Rabbit Genie started by sharing an enchanting story about her friend Paloma, an animal communicator in Switzerland. Paloma’s rabbit, Spot, was not your average carrot-crunching cutie. He had a giant personality. According to Spot, he was a philosopher. And he had no problem telling Paloma that she simply wasn’t on his level. Apparently, he’d had a few human lives. At one point he literally said, “You’re not at my level. Go back and study.” Can you imagine being put down by a rabbit? Each time Paloma returned, eager to collaborate, Spot sent her back to do more inner work. Only after she’d grown spiritually and emotionally did he finally agree to partner with her on writing a book. This story cracked me up, but it also highlights something profound. Animals have rich inner worlds and unique perspectives. They’re funny, wise, stubborn, intuitive, and deeply aware, often far more than we give them credit for. Wolfie Knew His Time Was Up Next came the story that changed Genie’s life and honestly, it gave me chills. Her beloved cat, Wolfie, introduced her to the mystical world of animal communication. Toward the end of his life, Genie was torn about what to do. The vet suggested euthanasia, but her heart wasn’t ready. She felt confused, guilty, and overwhelmed. This what people feel when you love an animal deeply and want to do right by them. In a moment of desperation and tenderness, she asked Wolfie what he wanted and to her complete surprise, he answered. Wolfie telepathically communicated that he wanted to pass peacefully at home. He provided the exact day and time he intended to leave his body which was between 3 and 5 AM. And just as he said, Wolfie passed at 3:30 AM. This experience affirmed for Genie communication with animals was real. That moment became her turning point, the doorway that led her into a life long devotion to understanding and teaching intuitive animal communication. You might think of her as a pet psychic. Everyday Wisdom from Animals Wolfie’s guidance started earlier in as he helped Genie with everyday decisions, including her movie projects. If she wasn’t sure which script to choose, she’d spread them out on the floor. Wolfie would quietly wander over and plop himself on the one that ended up being the best choice. He was always right. Eventually, Genie trusted him so much she referred to him as her “business partner.” Animals pick up your moods, your energy, your hesitations, andyour excitement. Sometimes they see the bigger picture long before humans do. It makes you think, how many times has your pet has been trying to tell you something, but you just didn’t realize you were being guided? Healing with Animal Therapy Genie then shifted into the deeper purpose behind her work, which is emotional healing. She shared the story of Oscar, a rescued dog with scars, missing teeth, and a heartbreaking past. Yet, despite everything he’d been through, Oscar became a powerful therapy partner for soldiers suffering from PTSD. That’s because Oscar had a rare gift. He could sense the person in the room who was in the most pain. Not the loudest or the one with the biggest personality. Oscar sensed which person silently felt like they were at the end of their rope and were at the greatest risk of suicide. He’d wander over, rest his head on their lap, and stay with them until their energy softened. Time after time, he found the soldier who needed him most. Genie watched veterans open emotionally, often for the first time in years. Oscar’s presence reached places that traditional therapy often couldn’t go where trauma hides. Animals don’t judge. They don’t push, need you to “explain.” They simply see you and comfort you. Sometimes, that’s just what someone needs to begin healing. Communication with Animals One of the things Genie emphasized which I loved, is that animals have feelings and very real opinions. She shared the story of a horse who became cranky and withdrawn after being moved to a new barn. Nothing seemed physically wrong, but his behavior was off. When Genie tuned in, she discovered he was upset because he used to spend all day with his companion, a female horse and not just the evenings. He missed the 24/7 connection with her. Once his caretakers understood this, they changed his living situation and suddenly, the horse relaxed and returned to his bright, affectionate self. Sometimes the fix is emotional, not physical and the animal is just waiting for someone to ask what is needed. Conversations with Animals Who Passed Genie also talked about communicating with animals who have passed on. According to her, this can be even easier because they’re no longer limited by their bodies. The messages they send are often clearer, more detailed, and incredibly loving. People who felt guilty about euthanasia decisions or worried they hadn’t done enough often found deep peace after hearing from their pet. These conversations helped them release burdens and understand their animals truly knew how loved they were. It’s comforting to think that your pets still check in and are available to offer guidance from the other side. Marvels of Intuitive Connection At one point, I shared some of my own experiences with intuitive communication with animals. Like the time I negotiated with starlings who were dive-bombing a pool. Or the rabbit who mucnhed down my roses until I had a little “chat” with him. These moments may seem small, but they show how communication can create understanding, harmony, and even cooperation between humans and the wild world around us. Animals listen, respond and they appreciate being spoken to with respect and awareness. Exploring the Human–Animal Bond My conversation with Genie opened a doorway into an entirely different way of relating to our animal companions. Her work through The Human Animal Connection helps pet owners worldwide deepen their relationships, understand their animal’s inner world, and dissolve emotional barriers. This is much bigger that solving behavior problems. This is really about soulful partnerships. Animals speak to you all the time, through energy, intuition, behavior, and subtle emotional cues. When you slow down and listen, you discover they’ve been sharing wisdom, comfort, and support all along. The Secret World of Animals Is Waiting This week’s episode is a beautiful reminder of the secret world waiting right at your feet, curled up on your couch, napping on your lap, or chirping outside your window. Your animals may have insights you’ve never imagined and it’s possible they’ve been trying to help you more than you realize. And they may have little pearls of wisdom (or sass!) just waiting for you to hear. So tune in, get curious, and let the magic of communication with animals open your heart in new ways. Or get a session with an animal communicator like Genie to speak with your pet for you.

Today’s episode is a celebration! I have now been hosting this podcast for five years. Can you believe it? I’m not sure I do. Over 250 Episodes! Yes, five years of podcasting and over 250 episodes! Whoa, that’s a lot! Back in 2021, when I first hit record, I had no idea what would unfold and it’s become one of the greatest gifts of my life. I’ve shared so much of my own spiritual journey as well as that of my guests. Topics have included energy work and healing, manifesting, intuition and divination, mediumship, animal communication, talking with plants, tarot, past lives and the Akashic Records, nature spirits and faeries, and so much more. It’s all been to help you live a life filled with joy and move past anything that gets in your way. Because when you commune with spirit, so much more becomes possible. Beneath all these conversations, there’s been one main intention: Help you trust your inner wisdom, so life feels a little more magical and a lot more aligned. While the topics have been fun and fascinating, what matters most to me is how many of you have written to say an episode shifted something inside you. That just thrills me to no end! Every episode, at its core, is really about remembering who you are underneath the noise of everyday life. The point is to get past the cosmic fluff and down to the bottom line of what truly makes a difference for you. What I’ve Learned In 5 Years Intuition is not a gift but an innate resource that every single person can access and learn to use. When you learn to flex this muscle and trust your inner wisdom, you can conquer problems and move past blocks. The energy on the planet has been changing so rapidly that your access to spiritual wisdom and energy healing has been ramped up and made more available than ever. And last but far from least: magic is all around you, ready for you to notice it and take advantage of everything it offers. So, for this anniversary episode, I thought it’d be fun to walk down this magical memory lane. I selected an episode from each year, all the way back to the beginning in 2021. These are conversations and topics that lit me up or revealed something big and reflect my growth and hopefully yours too. Highlights By Year Back in 2021, when the show first launched and I was still figuring out what this podcast wanted to become. One of the very first episodes was about the Magic of Nature Spirits — elementals, devas, all the beings I’d been seeing and communicating with in my own backyard. I shared stories like watching a tiny bootprint make an  impression in the grass down and then spring back up right in front of my eyes. I also spoke to Pan, the kind of the elementals in my garden and even asking my string beans why they weren’t producing and heard an answer! That episode set the tone for everything that followed, so let’s revisit it now. Let’s jump to 2022. This was a year when synchronicity was showing up everywhere — not just for me, but in the lives of many of the guests I interviewed. One of my favorites was my conversation with Jan Stringer, who shared how Sacred Synchronicities pulled her away from a corporate career and eventually even beyond traditional coaching into intuitive and healing work. It was a beautiful reminder that Spirit always knows how to get our attention. Here’s a clip from that episode.” Moving into 2023, the theme of the unseen continued — but with a little more sparkle and play. That year, I sat down with my friend Barb Gallagher to talk about her experiences with the faeries. She has a faery guide, she’s seen faeries many times, and she shared some incredible stories. I even added a couple of my own. It was such a fun and magical conversation. Let’s listen in. Medical Intuitive & More Then came 2024 — a year filled with deeper healing and spiritual expansion. One of the standout conversations was with Christine Lang, a medical intuitive who left a high-powered career as a corporate lawyer after debilitating allergies pushed her toward energy work. She talked about her journey through Reiki, developing her intuitive abilities, and how to elevate your energy so you can communicate with your spirit guides. Here’s a moment from that fascinating interview. Now in 2025, which has been a powerful, transformational year for both the podcast and the planet. One of the most meaningful episodes for me was my interview with the woman who leads the Net of Light group — a community working with the Great Council of Grandmothers. We talked about the divine feminine rising to restore balance and support the world through these times of change. Let me share a snippet from that conversation.” 2025 has also been the year I started sharing a lot more of my own thoughts and experiences in solo episodes. Two that really resonated with many of you were Light vs. Dark — Who’s Winning? (spoiler: the light!) and Crumble vs. Shift, where we talked about the energetic power of the words we choose. Looking Back at the Tapestry As I look back over these five years, what strikes me most is how each conversation, whether it was with a healer, a mystic, a faery friend, or a grandmother of the Net of Light, was really part of a bigger tapestry. It’s like a tapestry of awakening, connection, and remembering who we truly are. And you’ve been woven into it right along with me. This podcast has grown because you’ve been willing to explore these topics and ideas with me. Opening your heart, asking deeper questions, using your tinuition, and stepping into the magic of your own inner wisdom. As I move into year six, my intention is to go deeper into living an intuitively led life, heightening awareness, and noticing the breadcrumbs of guidance Spirit shares with us every single day. Not just clarity and alignment, but a more attuned way of being. A way of moving through the world where you feel supported, connected, and guided from within and by spirit. Thank you for listening and walking this path with me. The post You’re Invited To Enjoy the Magic – 5 Year Anniversary Highlights appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

The craziest season of the year has begun. The minute Halloween is over, Black Friday and the holiday circus come to town. You know you’re going to get super busy. There’s too much to do. The stress is already building. Cooking, cleaning, entertaining, decorating, gift buying and wrapping. And let’s not forget all the socializing. Most women shoulder the emotional and sometimes physical labor of the season. You think about everyone’s feelings, comfort, dietary preferences, and more. It’s a lot. No wonder it feels like a giant snowball rolling downhill, gaining speed until you feel like it bowls you over. What can you do? I’ve Got Your Back! I’ve got some simple ways to help you plan to take care of yourself during the holiday rush. The best thing is to get out ahead of that snowball to combat the overwhelm. Below you’ll find eight simple and quick self-care rituals that work like a charm to help you relax, stay centered, and appreciate yourself for who you are and all that you do. I encourage you to try several of them to see what works best for you before you get knee-deep in the season. Knowing which rituals work for you gives you an advantage when things get busy. You won’t have to sit there thinking, “What should I do?” You’ll know which of these self-care tips will serve you best. And then you can take care of yourself like it’s a no-brainer. Magical Self-Care for Low Stress Holidays 1. Humming Need to calm down and relax your nervous system fast? Maybe you don’t have time for a bath or 30-minute meditation. Try humming! Humming is perfect for soothing your nervous system — research shows it raises nitric oxide levels in the body, which eases tension. Spiritually, humming also clears the throat chakra and brings your energy back into vibrational alignment. Practice slow, mindful breathing, and with each exhale, gently hum a single note with your mouth closed. It’s surprisingly calming. 2. Daily Oneness Minute In everyday life, most people forget that they are one with everything. You are a child of the Universe. You are made of the same material as the stars – some say you are made of stardust. How amazing is that? Yet, you rarely stop to feel that connection. However, the more you remember the oneness, the more your body relaxes. Instead of feeling separate and alone, remember that angels, your higher self, spirit guides, and ancestors are always with you. To start your Oneness Minute, place your hand on your heart and the other on your belly and take a deep breath. Then let yourself feel the truth of who you are and how you are part of everything. This might just be the most peaceful minute of your entire day. 3. Brew Tea with Intention Prepare an herbal tea with purpose. Choose herbs for heart healing (like hibiscus), calming (like chamomile or Tulsi), or warmth (like apple cinnamon). While pouring water over the herbs or tea bag, imagine sending your intention into the brew. Once the tea is brewed, hold the warm cup in your hands. Feel the heat against your palms. Let the steam rise to your face. Set an intention and imagine infusing the liquid with that energy. When you sip, you’re literally drinking in the energy of your intention. I consider this to be self-care and self-love because you are taking a moment to think about yourself – what do you want? Getting clear and setting an intention is important “me time”. 4. “Enchanted” Body Oil Self-care and self-love are intertwined. Applying body oil or body butter after a bath, shower, or anytime is truly an act of love. You can add an essential oil to a carrier oil like almond or coconut, or put a few drops into any body butter or cream. When you massage your body with your chosen oil, express gratitude for each body part. Think about what that part helps you do. Spend extra time on areas you typically criticize because this is where love is most needed. Everyone has parts of their body they wish were different, but this is a time to appreciate all of you. As you love and accept yourself for who you are right now, confidence builds and your vibration rises. Love all your parts and make them soft and smell fabulous. 5. Anoint Yourself The act of anointing is sacred. When you put an oil on your body with intention, you are taking a sacred action to honor yourself and connect with the divine. You can focus on attracting abundance, healing, or staying calm and balanced. The choice is yours. In the past, anointing was used for king-making ceremonies and religious rites. Prophets, priests, and priestesses all used this sacred tool as part of their rituals and it’s still used today. I recommend using a quality essential oil like doTerra, but there are many excellent brands. Before applying, if you have sensitive skin, mix your essential oil with a carrier oil like jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil. You only need a few drops of the essential oil in the carrier oil to get the benefits. Try a blend of rose, jasmine, or vanilla oil and gently anoint your wrists, heart, and third eye. Citrus scents are also cheerful mood elevators. This ancient ritual honors the spirit and invokes kindness toward self. A perfect option that’s simple self-care. 6. Self-Love Sigil A sigil is a symbol you create from your intention. You can make up a symbol or use the letters from a phrase you’ve chosen. For example: “I Love Myself Today.” Remove vowels and duplicate consonants. Then, from the remaining letters, create a symbol by connecting them. Turn them sideways, stack them, overlap them  however you want. I recommend putting your symbol on the back of a business card so it can fit in your wallet, under your pillow, or on your altar. The business card has some weight to it versus paper to last longer. Next, charge the sigil with intention. Think about your statement and send energy into the card. You can use the palms of your hands or visualize the energy flowing in. You’ll know the sigil is fully charged when you feel a tiny shift that might be a sense of calm, completion, warmth, or simply “that’s enough.” Then put it in your waller or leave it on your altar or night table. Once it’s activated, your sigil takes over attracting what you want. 7. Three Things I Love About Myself Journal This is a spinoff from a recent episode about writing love notes to yourself. If that feels too big of a leap, start with a journal dedicated to self-love and write down three things you love about yourself each day. If you get stuck, use these prompts to think of something: About your personality What you did today that makes you happy or proud About your physical self This small ritual is especially powerful during hectic holiday times. Recognizing yourself for what is good or even great is a game changer. Take the time to appreciate the countless good things about who you are. Acknowledge yourself to reduce stress and feel more grounded and at ease. 8. Self-Love Simmer Pot A simmer pot is simply a large pot filled with water and herbs that simmers on the stove for 1–3 hours. It will fill your home with a natural fragrance and infuse the space with the vibration of the ingredients. This recipe is for self love and it smells amazing. If you think this is too much, don’t add everything in. Choose what calls to you from this list of herbs and spices. There’s no doing this wrong, so enjoy the process and the scent. Here’s the recipe for self-love: 3–4 cups of water A pinch of Himalayan salt (cleansing + grounding) A handful of dried or fresh rose petals (love + emotional healing) Rosemary (protection + clarity) 1 Tbsp maple syrup (sweetness, abundance, transformation) Sliced apple (health, longevity, knowledge, abundance) Cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon (fire + passion + abundance) 1 tsp vanilla (warmth + love + luck) Mint (vitality + uplifted mood) Let it simmer and scent your home, but watch to make sure the water doesn’t boil away. Take a moment to breathe in the love and magic it radiates. This is so much better than chemically made scents — it’s pure magic. You Are the Magic As you move through the season, remember that you are the magic in your home, your family, and your life. Even a few moments of self-care can shift everything. So be gentle with yourself, honor your energy, and let these simple rituals hold you through the busy days ahead. You deserve to feel supported, centered, and deeply loved—especially by yourself.

Recently Kim Kardashian took and failed the California bar exam. Sorry, Kim. And her reaction was, “All those psychics who told me I’d pass are liars.” What? You Can’t Win the Blame Game Kim’s frustration and disappointment are totally understandable. Failure stinks! But blaming the psychics for this mishap? That part makes no sense. So, let’s break this down. Psychics give a snapshot in time of what might happen. Readings reveal possibilities, not fixed outcomes. Not sure what she was told about timing. Did they say she’d pass the first time… or simply that she’d pass? Those are very different predictions. If she passes next time, those psychics will be correct. One failed attempt doesn’t cancel the larger perspective on passing the bar. Maybe they weren’t specific enough. Timing is the toughest part of psychic work. Many believe spirit doesn’t follow linear time the way humans do. Meanwhile, several scientific theories rooted in Einstein’s work suggest all moments may exist simultaneously.That creates a challenge when people ask, “When will I meet my love?” or “When will this happen?”And to be honest, there are some things spirit just won’t tell you because it will interfere with the lesson you are learning. What did Kim’s own intuition say? It’s unclear whether she checked in with her inner knowing or handed full responsibility to the psychics. Let’s be honest — who wants to tell Kim Kardashian she’s going to fail? Psychics are human. They want to please, especially when reading for someone influential. Even if a psychic sensed she might struggle, delivering a message like that isn’t easy and can feel ethically tricky.Personally, I wouldn’t give a simple yes-or-no answer either. I’d redirect the question toward something more supportive and actionable like, “What do I need to know to pass? Is anything blocking me?” That’s far more helpful than predicting an outcome. Who is actually responsible for passing the bar? Not the psychics! Kim herself is the only one responsible for the outcome of her test taking. Their predictions (right or wrong) didn’t cause her to fail. If she took encouraging readings as an excuse to study less, that’s her choice and her consequence.Between study habits, stress, test preparation, and her reliance on AI tools, many factors play into exam performance. And remember: only 55% of first-time California bar exam takers pass. She has plenty of company in her experience. Perhaps this is a life lesson in humility. Whatever Kim is meant to learn from this setback, it’s her karma, her growth, and her responsibility. It sure isn’t up to the psychics. Readings Are Not Short Cuts Psychic insight is never meant to be a shortcut, but used to shine a little light where life feels foggy. When you rely on predictions instead of your own inner knowing, disappointment is almost guaranteed. Trusting psychic guidance is best when done as a companion to your own inner wisdom. Don’t let external information replace your own inner knowing. Blaming the psychics misses the bigger picture. Intuition and spiritual guidance are invitations to deepen self-trust and knowledge rather than promises for specific outcomes. Life is shaped by preparation, effort, emotion, energy, timing, and yes… a bit of magic. This whole story is a powerful reminder that when you hand over your power to someone else’s prediction, you lose your connection to your own power. Intuition works best when you stay accountable, grounded, and willing to do the work required for what you want. So whether you’re taking an essential exam or facing a major life decision, let this be your takeaway – Trust your gut, seek guidance if you want it, but keep your hands on the wheel. That’s where your strength and your success truly come from. The post Don’t Blame the Psychics, Kim Kardashian! appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

If you doubt your ability to hear intuitive guidance, this Question & Answer episode will clear that up, revealing essential secrets to trust your intuition. Have you ever wondered if that quiet inner nudge was really your intuition—or just your imagination running wild? You’re not alone. I hear this question all the time, and honestly, it’s one of my favorites because it opens the door to how our intuitive guidance really works. Q: What Exactly Is Intuition? Intuition is a quiet inner system to access your own guidance or inner wisdom. It doesn’t shout, “Turn left now!” or flash neon signs. In general, it’s more like a gentle knowing that lands in your body which is steady, calm, and quietly certain. It might show up as a voice your hear or a vision you see. You might have a sense of knowing or something you feel in your body. These are actually the four “clairs” including clairaudient – hearing, clairvoyant – seeing, claircognizant – knowing, and clairsentient – feeling. Now how do you know it’s not your intuition? It could be wishful thinking or anxious overthinking, when your body feels jittery and anxious. Your inner guidance expands you, and everything else constricts your energy. Ignoring Spirit Messages Sitting on a park bench with a guy on date #4, he was talking about all the things we could do together that summer. I was loving it thinking he was really into me. Then out of nowhere, I heard a loud clera voice saying, “You are not special to him.” I was shocked and attrributed this to my own fears. Unfortunately, it was a warning and 100% true. I never saw him again after that day. But I didn’t listen to the loud and clear message from spirit which was really too bad, since this broke my heart. I must say, this was a good lesson in respecting a warning message and tursting my intuition. Now, I always pay attention to the warnings I receive. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen often. But it’s a great example of how your higher self, angels, spirit guides or even your ancestors watch over and try to guide you. Q: Is Intuition for “Spiritual People” Or Can Anyone Access It? Everyone has intuition. Truly. It’s not for some spiritual elite club, but part of being human. Science even backs this up. Turns out women’s brains are wired for rapid, intuitive decision-making, blending logic, intuition, and emotion seamlessly. Not only that but women have more connective tissue between the two hemispheres which is why we are naturally more intuitive than men! That’s why it’s called women’s intuition, right? What makes the difference is practice. When you practice, you sharpen the signal and increae your skillfor getting the messages and guidance. It’s like turning up the volume on a radio station that’s been playing all along. People Who Use Intuition Have 9 Huge Advantages Q: How Do You Tell the Difference Between Intuition and Fear or Ego? This might be easier than you think. If you ask about taking a new job, pay attention to how you feel in your body. What do you notice? Do you feel good,comfortable and at ease? That would be intuitive guidance. Or do you have a pitt in your stomach or feel anxiety? Fear tends to be loud and stand out. Your ego overanalyzes, criticizes, and says things like “this is too good to be true.” Intuition feels like quiet confidence. It simply offers the truth of your own inner wisdom. You can feel it in your body as peace, clarity, or grounded energy. Q: Why Does Intuition Feel Harder as You Get Older? Ah, midlife. You’re wiser, yes, but your brain has a lot more experience and responsibilities. You also have had more time with analyzing and using your logic. Both of these tend to muffle those subtle intuitive nudges. No worries. Intuition never leaves you. It might get quieter until you slow down and decide to listen again. When you do that, your inner wisdom will reappear adn step up to provide the guidance  you seek, just like when you were younger. Q: What Does Intuition Feel Like in the Body? For many, it’s a calm certainty, gentle goosebumps, or energy rushes. Some people can tingles in their hands. It can be so subtle that you might miss it if you’re not paying full attention. The body is your tuning fork for your truth and wisdom. It’s your job to notice how it feels to you in your body and then watch out for that occurring, letting you know it’s time to trust your intuition or messages from spirit. Q: What about Signs from Spirit? Signs are best usesd as a confirmation. You can ask your spirit guides for a sign of confirmation if you’re headed in the right direction. If you see that sign, then you know your in alignment with your highest good. Spirit loves to provide you with symbols. A feather on your path, a song lyric that lands perfectly, or a sudden flash of warmth in your heart. These gifts or coincidences show up often and easily. The more you notice them, the more they appear. I recommend choosing the sign you want to see, otherwise you might be left wondering what the sign is and never know for sure. And you don’t always have to use the same sign. Feel free to change it up. Just let your guides know what you want to see. Q: How To Make Intuition Part of Your Daily Life? Start small. Ask simple questions, notice the sensations that follow, and track your intuitive hits. Keep a quick journal or voice memo of what you sensed and how it turned out. Having a track record allows you to build confidence in your inner wisdom. In addition, gratitude amplifies the energy. Be sure to thank your intuition when it gets something right (which is more often than you might think). Over time, intuition will become your natural navigation system. You won’t have to ask, “Is this intuition because you’ll just know. Additional Questions & Topics What’s the best way to receive intuitive guidance? I hear my intuition, but fear and logic take over. What can I do? I’ve taken a lot of classes and read a lot of books, but still not good at intuiton The benefits of having an Intuitive Buddy Divination method – ask a question and crack open a book Start noticing the little nudges that are like a trail of breadcrumbs. You’ll hear it all of this and more when you listen to the podcast! Intuition is the most spiritual powerful tool you have. And, it’s already woven into who you are and is literally waiting for you to access it, trust it, and lead you home to yourself.

Every October, witches pop up everywhere with pointy hats, broomsticks, and black cats. It’s fun on the surface, but beneath all that playfulness lies a deeper story. A Centuries-Old Fear For many intuitive, spiritual, creative women, the word witch still stirs something ancient. It can be a mix of fascination and fear. If you’ve ever dimmed your light, held your tongue, or second-guessed your intuition, so you wouldn’t stand out too much, you may be feeling the effects of the Witch Wound. I never thought I had this. But after a recent healing session with my friend and Holy Fire Reiki practitioner Cindy Bain, I discovered layers of subconscious fear I hadn’t known were there.. She found fears quietly shaping how safe I felt being fully visible in my magic. So let’s talk about what the Witch Wound really is, where it comes from, and how we can finally heal it. Origin of the Word “Witch” The word witch comes from the Old English wicce (female) and wicca (male), first used around 890 CE. It originally meant a person who worked with the unseen world. It was the name for someone skilled in herbs, healing, divination, and nature’s cycles. There was nothing dark or sinister about it. But as Christianity spread across Europe, suspicion of independent spiritual practices grew. Healing, astrology, and herbalism were once honored skills of wise women. But, they became dangerous. By the 16th century, “witch” took on a fearful meaning, and what followed were centuries of persecution, mistrust, and pain. Before she became the outcast, the witch was the wise woman. She was a midwife, healer, and community guide whose wisdom came from nature and Spirit, not the church. As patriarchal systems tightened control, the wise woman’s independence became defiance and her intuition became a threat. However, she never quite disappeared. Instead, she went underground, hiding in stories, in the land, and, I believe, in our DNA. Past Life Trauma I’ve seen echoes of those times in my own soul history. In one lifetime, I was a herbalist living at the edge of a village. People avoided me unless they needed my help. I was lonely, but I always served when requested. During a healing meditation in this lifetime, I saw that woman. She was cloaked, hidden, and separate. The woman leading the session suggested I let the cloak fall. When I did, I felt an energetic ripple travel through time, releasing emotions from all the lives that followed. In another life, I was a wealthy woman in 1400s Italy, practicing ritual magic with a group of people. When soldiers stormed in, we were all executed. Watching that memory, I heard a voice say, “That’s what happens when you play with power.” For centuries, my soul equated power with danger. That’s an illusion many women still carry today. But these stories aren’t unique to me. They’re part of our collective consciousness. What Is the Witch Wound? The Witch Wound is a deep energetic imprint passed down through generations. It’s the lingering memory of persecution, fear, and suppression of feminine wisdom. That’s what happens when intuition, healing, and connection to Spirit are condemned. Historically, this wound was reinforced by religion and culture, especially after the publication of The Malleus Maleficarum in 1486 — the “Hammer of Witches.” This was a handbook for persecuting and prosecuting women for heresy. The impact was enormous, embedding fear and distrust of female power throughout society and the collective consciousness. Over centuries, the Witch Wound became internalized. It still whispers through our subconscious in phrases like: “Don’t rock the boat.” “Tone it down.” “Be nice.” “Don’t be too mystical or intuitive.” “Don’t be too much.” It’s an ancient echo reminding us that visibility once meant danger. How the Wound Appears This wound doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes it hides as perfectionism, over-preparing, or hesitation to share your gifts. It can surface as doubt that appears out of nowhere. Or a quiet inner voice asking, “What if they think I’m crazy? What if it’s not safe?” These patterns don’t mean you’re weak. They demonstrate that your body remembers what your mind has forgotten. The Witch Wound lives in the subconscious and in the energy field, quietly influencing how safe you feel expressing your power. Collectively, it also appears in how society still views spiritual women. Words like “witchy” or “crazy” are used to dismiss intuition. Society still celebrates logic but questions inner knowing. The Witch Wound is about restoring balance between the rational and the mystical, the masculine and the feminine, and the head and heart. Ancestral Threads Many women carry this wound through their family line, especially the maternal side. It can show up as generations of women who stayed quiet, over-gave, or never felt safe resting or taking a break. Even if your ancestors weren’t persecuted directly, they lived under the same cultural conditioning that taught women to fear and mistrust their own wisdom. When you heal, you free your ancestors as well. They cheer you on from the spirit world, This time, you can do things differently. Recognize the Signs You might have the Witch Wound if: You hesitate to share your spiritual experiences for fear of judgment. You downplay your intuition or call it coincidence. You feel drawn to healing or energy work but never quite feel “ready.” You feel a tug-of-war between wanting to be seen and wanting to stay safe. You sense a deep connection or aversion to the word witch itself. However the wound shows up, its asking for love, not analysis. How to Heal the Witch Wound Healing this wound isn’t about fixing yourself because you are not broken. It’s about clearing the energetic dust, so your light can shine again. Here are a few powerful practices that came through the Akashic Records: 1. Clear Your Energy Field for Seven Days. Each day, cleanse your aura with intention. Smudge with herbs, bathe with rose petals or sea salt, meditate, or let the wind carry away old energy. As you do, affirm: “I release fear, persecution, and suppression. I reclaim my light, my power, and my voice.” 2. Rewrite Your Past-Life Stories. If you remember a lifetime that ended in trauma, revisit it through meditation. Ask your soul, What if this could end differently? When I re-entered my Italian lifetime, I invited the soldiers sent to kill us to join the ritual instead. They dropped their swords and stood in the circle of light. That single act of compassion healed the pattern across all my lifetimes. 3. Receive Golden Light. In meditation, ask Spirit for healing. Imagine golden-white light raining down on you, forming a glowing sphere in your hands. Place it in your heart and let it expand through your body and aura until you’re filled with shimmering light. Feel it dissolving the residue of fear and restoring your innate wisdom. 4. Honor Your Body. Move, dance, breathe, and affirm, “It’s safe for me to be all of who I am.” The body holds ancestral memory and the key to freedom. When you ove iwth intention, you can energetically release what no longer serves you. 5. Heal in Sisterhood. Persecution of witches isolated women, but sisterhood heals! Gather with other women who see you, speak your truth, and hare similar stories. Each time you do this, you help one another remember it’s safe to connect with the divine feminine and shine again. 6. Reclaim Everyday Magic. Light candles, talk to your plants, pull oracle cards, or pray under the full moon. There are so many small rituals to remind your spirit that intuition is no longer dangerous. It’s truly divine. Remember the Wise Woman Within The Witch Wound was never really about witchcraft. It was about fear of women’s wisdom, intuition, and power and supression of these skills. But those days are over. Women are remembering now that “witch” and “wise woman” once meant the same thing. Every time you trust your intuition, you empower yourself and rewrite history. Each time you speak your truth, you heal your lineage. And every time you choose love over fear, you dissolve the old repression and silence. This Halloween, let’s celebrate the return of the wise women, the mystics, and the healers claiming their divine feminine powers freely and rising once more. Because the Witch Wound isn’t your weakness. It’s your initiation into wholeness. Let me close with a phrase I never use but it seems completely appropriate for this episode: Blessed be.

Energetic healing is essential for everyone, even for experienced meditators. Clearing blocks makes room for new energy, while it restores clarity, balance, and higher vibration. This is also true for fans of personal growth and empowerment work. Always Upleveling If you’re constantly bringing in new, higher-frequency energy, where does it all go? How does it integrate if there’s no space for it? As you evolve, certain patterns, habits, and energies simply no longer serve you. So, they need to be released. Here’s the thing – clearing energy is just as vital as bringing in new energy. Without it, all that growth can feel stuck or heavy. This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Cheryl Stelte, a spiritual coach, master healer, bestselling author, and expert in energy work. We talked about the transformative power of energetic healing, chakra work, and what it truly takes to elevate your vibration and live in alignment with your purpose. Who Needs More Clearing? Cheryl shared an interesting trend she’s noticed. More mature men, in their 60s and 70s, are diving into spiritual growth and energy work. Some of the people she’s worked with have been meditating and working with higher energies for over 50 years. You might think that would mean their energy fields are pristine, right? Not quite. Cheryl observed murky “gray areas” in their energy fields. These spots represent subconscious blocks that dim their inner light. It’s a reminder that healing and growth are lifelong processes. Turns out energetic healing isn’t just for beginners. It’s for anyone ready to restore vibrancy, alignment, and ease in life. The ACE Method Cheryl shared her three-step ACE method, a simple but powerful approach to clearing subconscious blocks. A is for Accessing. Start by connecting with the emotions trapped in your energy field. Deep belly breathing is the key here—it’s like a spotlight into your energy, helping you identify what’s blocking you. C is for Clearing. Once you identify the stuck emotions, continue breathing deeply to release them. Pay attention to the physical sensations that arise—they often give you clues about other layers of energy that need attention. E is for Empowering. This is the magic that follows clearing. It’s not just a mindset shift—it’s realignment with your energetic self. You emerge lighter, clearer, and more connected to your natural flow of energy. Regular sessions of energetic healing amplify this effect, helping blocks release faster and more completely. Feeling the Shift When you remove energy blocks, you start living in alignment with your higher self—and you can feel it. Life flows easier, decisions feel clearer, and even your interactions with others can feel more effortless. Higher vibration is more than a buzzword. I’m talking about experience and here’s hwat you might notice: Less mental chatter and worry More ease moving through challenges A sense of inner lightness and clarity Feeling more present and connected to your intuition Greater inner peace Cheryl recounted a wonderful client story. After just three clearing sessions, the woman released worry and shifted her perspective! She realized freedom wasn’t about changing circumstances, but cultivating a state of inner peace. This is exactly what this powerful energetic healing can help you achieve. Emotions Are Energy Messengers One of the most important pieces of Cheryl’s work is acknowledging emotions. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or fear, lean into these feelings. Doing this will move the energy instead of allowing it stagnate. Suppressed emotions often point to deeper issues, while conscious acknowledgment can lead to breakthroughs and personal growth. This is why energetic healing is such a powerful tool. It moves stuck energy, so your mind, body, and spirit can realign. Let’s talk about the David Hawkins Map of Consciousness which shows emotions in a hierarchy based on Hertz frequency. For example, if you’re feeling angry, that is actually several steps above others vibrationally such as shame, grief, or even fear. Why does this matter? Some people fear their anger and want to avoid feeling that. Yet, it can actually propel you forward into action to cahnge your life. I’m not saying anger is good for you, but it is on the scale and does have some temporary advantages. This is just one example of how your emotions are worth examining and experiencing, so you can move up the Map of Consciousness. Your Purpose Might Be Simple Many people search for “their purpose” as if it’s one grand achievement. Cheryl reminds you that purpose isn’t about titles or accolades. Instead it’s deeply personal and varies for each individual. Your purpose could be experiencing simple joys, small acts of nurturing, or profound contributions. What matters is alignment with your true self. Cheryl’s work helps people uncover and embrace their unique purpose, whether that’s caring for others, developing untapped talents, or simply showing up as their authentic self. Practicing Energetic Empowerment You don’t need a guru to start shifting your energy. When you face discomfort, start with the ACE method. Feel your emotions, breathe deeply, and release what no longer serves you. It’s simple, yet incredibly effective for moving energy and refining your alignment. Your journey is yours alone. Each step, whether small or transformative, clears the path for more clarity, ease, and vibrancy in your life. For those ready to explore this kind of work, Cheryl can guide you in clearing blocks, reconnecting with your inner power, and discovering the purpose waiting to be fully realized. And remember, I also offer Bioenergetic Clearings. I can do a general clearing or you can get specific including clearings for the chakras, relationships, ancestors and the physical body. Each one will help lighten your energy field and renew your vitality.

If you’d like a Cosmic Mediumship session with my friend Marla Martenson, just click here. In this podcast snack, Marla and I talked about her readings and mediumship sessions. This time of year, with Halloween around the corner, the veil thins which makes it so much easier to connect with the other side. Maybe you want to talk with family members who have passed on, or other friends and loved ones. This is a great reminder that death is not the end – you go on living! Marla explained how after passing, you’re not up living in the clouds but instead, still here on earth. However, you’re in a different dimension that’s a higher frequency. That’s why most people can’t see those who have passed on. However, Marla’s experience is that these souls often stay close to watch over and support you. They are listening, so feel free to talk with them! I told a few stories about seeing spirits from my family. I also shared a personal session I had with Marla and what my mom told her. Then how it came to be in my life that same day! The message from my mom came to pass! Marla’s stories about her mediumship are fun and heart-warming. From the mundane to something profound, you never know what will come through. Marla is upbeat and delightful. Her eccletic style of reading includes some energy clearing and there may be messages from guides, etc. as well as your relatives or loved one who have passed on.
