In this Share Your Light episode, we are thrilled to introduce you to Jody Goddard: energy healer, intuitive, medium, and wildlife volunteer. She has trained in Eden Energy Medicine, Michael D’Alton’s Bio-Energy Healing, The Duality Program with Jeffery Allen, The Silva Method as well as trainings in shamanism, mediumship and medical intuition. Jody is a highly accomplished individual with a diverse range of skills and experiences. Jody attended the University of Calgary, where she obtained a Bachelors degree in marketing and tourism. She is passionate about travelling, nature, animals and the metaphysical. Jody worked at several corporate gigs in the marketing field but was never very happy in that environment – her passion for travel led her to escape on a solo adventure to New Zealand and South Africa where she volunteered as a surrogate mother for orphaned baboon babies. Upon returning, she began working in corporate again, started a family and decided to try her hand at a network marketing company to be able to stay home with the kids. That never really took off but was an integral part in her journey. After her father passed away unexpectedly in 2009, Jody was sent her on a sideways journey of connection. Many synchronicities and many different paths all converged to lead to the path of energy healing and mediumship.

In this episode, Samantha and Denise discuss the energetic shift from 3d to 5d. So many people throughout the world are feeling this shift take place in their lives and are trying to grasp how to best navigate the physical, mental and emotional impacts of what this may entail. Are we all shifting into a new, higher vibration? What does it mean to live in a 3d world versus a 5d world? Can you consciously shift into a higher vibration? Our 3d conscious is all about duality, polarity, and individuation. Here the focus is on the material, the physical, what we can see, hold, touch and measure. In a 3d world – success is based on material wealth and accumulation. We tend to see others as separate from us and often feel a sense of isolation or lack of connection. Often as we’re working on shifting our vibrations to a higher level, we unknowingly shift intothe 4 th dimension. This is a transitory state between the 3d and 5d states of awareness. Duringthis shifting process when you’re moving into the 4 th dimension, you might feel confusedbecause this is the stage when the masks come off. You start to question beliefs you were raisedwith or ideas you’ve always had about people, yourself, and society at large. We start to seehappiness and success as emotions and states of gratitude that go well beyond material andtraditional ideas of achievement. In the 4 th dimension, we’re moving beyond the ego. It can be adifficult or scary transition because it’s a time of shedding the old you, dropping the illusions,leaving behind the expectations you’ve carried with you as you leave labels and goals anddreams that are no longer serving this new, more authentic you. During this time, your intuitionwill heighten. You will also notice more signs and synchronicities in your life. When you finally shed all of this and shift your vibration even higher, you will move into the 5 thdimension which is a consciousness focused on unity, connection and divine love. You start tosee everyone and everything as connected. You might even start to see glowing lights or aurasaround people, animals, trees, every living thing. Once you’ve moved into 5d living, you’ll notice that you can manifest things much more easilyand quickly. You start to become aware of your personal power and capacity to be a potent co-creator with the universe. You also become more sensitive to energies around you. You might be able to pick up on thevibes of a place, animal or people around you. As your compassion increases and deepens so willyour intuition and ability to tune into people, energy, thoughts and important messages. You may no longer feel compelled to make a ton of money or be famous or successful. You start toredefine your definition of success and happiness. You start to care more about the earth, yourbody, your health and your impact on the world around you. Ways to support yourself during this shift:Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water. Move your body more. Sit in the sun, get fresh air and exercise. Create a daily spiritual practice that helps you turn within. Make time for solitude and reflection. Trust yourself and what is coming through for you. For more information on Samantha and all of her wonderful offerings: http://samanthafey.com Denise is at http://thegratefulmessenger.com

In this episode we are excited to welcome Dr. Chesten Cantrell! (Just as a head’s up, there are a few slightly colorful words in this episode!) Dr. Chesten Cantrell is a body worker, energy worker, and mind-body worker. As a body worker, she practices chiropractic, massage therapy, and craniosacral therapy. As an energy worker, she practices Reiki and 13th Octave LaHoChi. As a mind-body worker, she practices techniques described in her ebook “Revealing Your Diamond,” life coaching, and neurolinguistic programming. As a child, Chesten would randomly see and hear things that she later learned were spirits. She would know random information about people around her that couldn’t be explained. When she was eleven, she purchased her first tarot deck. She did readings for friends and peers that were accurate and she had an increase in premonitions and knowledge about those around her. Her curiosity about magic, psychics, and the paranormal increased. During a séance involving two uneducated teens, she was able to connect with her Nanny who had passed and ended up accidentally leaving an open portal to the other side in her bedroom. She had frightening experiences with some beings that had come through. It wasn’t until her late teens that someone else identified and closed the portal. But the experience left her terrified of the paranormal for years. There was a three-year time period during high school when Chesten struggled to accept her abilities. Growing up in a conservative Christian area, there were enough people around who had strong opinions about who was going to Hell. This included people who did tarot readings, saw spirits, or did anything else remotely psychic. On top of that, mental illness runs in Chesten’s family, so she became overwhelmed by the game “did that happen or am I crazy?”. The fact that her family, while accepting her gifts, had advised her as a child never to talk to anyone about this part of her didn’t help. To her, it became something to be ashamed of. So, she shut it down to the best of her abilities. While she had closed off the psychic part of herself, her empathetic side remained and developed. From her teens onward, she would have loved ones and strangers alike open up and “spill their guts out.” There was a joke among her friends that if their quiet, reserved loved one got around Chesten, they’d open up. During her college years, she was introduced to people who were open-minded about mystic things. She went to multiple lectures and events hosted by energy workers, psychics, and the like. She became a Master Reiki practitioner in Usui Shiki Ryoho in 2009. She was pursuing a degree in Biology at the time. Her logical and intuitive sides clashed. Watching “What the Bleep Do We Know” and its extended version helped begin a more amicable relationship between her skeptical side and her believer side. In 2010, she attended chiropractic school. She had to shut off her intuitive side while in school because going to a body part because it felt like that’s where she needed to go wasn’t going to help her pass her courses. From 2010-2015, tumultuous events occurred involving the death of a parent, a toxic relationship, a toxic marriage, a toxic divorce, and a failed business. Chesten moved back to her hometown in southwest Virginia feeling shattered and like she would never heal. She had lost all faith in herself. This feeling and the abusive relationship she escaped motivated her to work on herself so she would never end up in another relationship like that again. As she worked on herself, she learned how to love, trust, respect, and have compassion for herself. She wants others to realize these truths about themselves too. One of Chesten’s life goals is to help each person she interacts with feel and know that they are miraculous. Their existence is evidence that miracles happen. In her practice, she teaches patients that their body is their best friend and companion while they are on this earthly plane. Another way Chesten tries to help others develop self-love and feel miraculous is through her ebook “Revealing Your Diamond.” This ebook provides methods for a person to do their own subconscious (or shadow) work. It’s an ebook she also wrote as an act of love for her teenage self because she feels like access to material like this would have put her on her life path faster and more gently.

In this episode Samantha and Denise revisit common ways that those in Spirit will try to get our attention. For many of us who so very much want to hear from our loved ones who have passed, or make a connection for guidance and support, we may double guess if it’s a sign or just wishful thinking. Have you heard your name called but no one was physically there? Are you finding coins repeatedly? Do you keep seeing number sequences or cryptic messages spelled out on license plates? We talk about these and so many other ways those in Spirit let us know they are ok and are there for us.

Please join Samantha and Denise in welcoming Dr. Jennifer Brubaker. Dr. Brubaker is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She’s the author of Celebrity and the American Political Process, which takes a look at the intersection between media and politics through the lens of celebrity involvement in the political process. After 20 years in academia, Jen has recently brought her scholarly research in family communication out of the classroom and into the podcast “Reframing Me,” which discusses both the evolution of parenting and family communication and the rediscovery of a woman’s self, as her own children become teenagers.  You can find Reframing Me on all major podcast venues.

Andrew Harvey, an internationally acclaimed writer and founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism, discusses the transformative power of love based on his latest book. He explores the life of 13th-century mystic Hadewijch of Antwerp, highlighting her defiance of societal norms and her legacy in spirituality. The conversation delves into the duality of love, embracing beauty amidst suffering, and the importance of sacred activism. Harvey emphasizes how understanding the language of mystics can unlock deeper connections and inspire hope in a troubled world.

Is there something you’ve been waiting to attempt? Are you ready for a healthy, loving relationship? Is it time to accept yourself with love? Tune in as Samantha and Denise explore how this astrological shift is going to impact all of us collectively but also the specifics for each sign of the zodiac!
