Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

What happens when science meets spirit? In this conversation, I sit down with former mentorship student and nurse practitioner turned medical intuitive, Kiara Martinez Guerrero, to explore how a traumatic car accident awakened her psychic abilities and reshaped the way she approaches healing. We dive into the intersection of medical intuition, holistic health, and energy healing and how Kiara blends her medical background with her spiritual gifts to help others heal from the inside out. From autoimmune challenges to chakra balancing, she shares how trauma and emotional dysregulation can manifest in the body, and why authenticity and self-trust are the true medicine for transformation. Whether you’re navigating your own health journey, learning to trust your intuition, or curious about how spirituality integrates with healthcare, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible when you soften into your gifts and show up fully for yourself. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: How Kiara’s awakening began after her 2020 accident The link between trauma, autoimmunity, and energy imbalances Why empaths in healthcare need energy clearing & protection Practical self-care rituals for spiritual and emotional well-being The role of authenticity in deep healing and personal growth This is a powerful reminder that your body, mind, and soul are connected and when you trust yourself, healing unfolds in ways you never imagined.

This episode isn’t planned or scripted; It’s a channeled message straight from my guides for you. The message that came through? You’ve already accomplished more than you realize… but instead of celebrating, you keep rushing into the next race. That constant striving is leaving you disconnected from your joy, your body, and your intuition. My guides spoke on: Why it’s time to pause and honor how far you’ve come Rediscovering what you actually like (beyond what you were told to want) How creativity opens the doorway to intuition and spiritual connection Healing grief, shame, and self-judgment stored in the body Why your truth needs to be spoken even if it’s messy at first This is a transmission for the women who feel like they’ve “graduated” in their growth but don’t know what’s next. A reminder that the next level isn’t about perfection or control… it’s about rediscovering yourself and letting your soul lead. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t.

If your future self could sit across from you today, what would she tell you about developing your intuition, unlocking your psychic gifts, and creating a spiritual life that actually lasts? In this episode I take you deep into the long game of spiritual awakening: the consistent, integrated inner work that builds unshakable self-trust, clear intuitive guidance, and personal power over time. I share my journey from registered nurse to full-time intuitive mentor, including the breakthroughs and challenges that shaped my gifts, and the exact practices I wish I had committed to sooner. You’ll learn: • Why consistency beats intensity when growing your psychic abilities • How to integrate your intuition into daily life so it becomes second nature • The power of investing in yourself to collapse timelines and step into your next-level reality sooner • How to connect with your future self for clarity on your next steps • The hidden blocks such as grief, self-worth wounds, and ancestral patterns that silently undermine your intuitive trust  and how to heal them Whether you are just beginning your spiritual awakening or have been on the path for years, this conversation will help you stop chasing the next spiritual high and start building the kind of intuitive legacy your future self will thank you for.

If you’ve ever felt like Spirit is nudging (or shoving) you to quit your job and go full-time in your spiritual business... this episode is your permission slip to pause. I know. That’s not the popular narrative. In the spiritual community, there’s a lot of pressure to “take the leap,” trust the Universe, and walk away from anything that no longer aligns. But what happens when you leap and land in scarcity, confusion, or burnout? In today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly why I didn’t quit my job right away when I started my intuitive work and how that decision changed everything for me. We’ll talk about: The signs you are meant to do this work and how to read them with discernment Why making your nervous system feel safe is the first portal to expansion How to build your spiritual business with integrity, clarity, and actual demand The difference between spiritual knowledge and spiritual embodiment What I told Spirit that opened the door for my full-time transition (and how you can do the same) Whether you’re just starting or deep in your healing journey, I want you to feel deeply supported in building your spiritual business not pressured to bypass your real-life needs. This episode is for the intuitive woman who knows she’s meant for more… but wants to do it her way. At the end, I’ll also share how you can work with me 1:1 inside my mentorship or Spirit Connector sessions if you’re ready to clarify your voice, ground your gifts, and walk your path fully supported.

This episode is a raw one. I share what came through in a powerful mentorship session with a client who was in the thick of it: grief, confusion, doubt, body pain, and the aching sense that everything she’d been guided to do was falling apart. We’ve all been there. You follow the intuitive nudge. You leap, lean into trust. And then? It all seems to crumble. In this episode, I guide you through why this happens. The dark in-between space before the breakthrough. The part no one posts about. The identity death before the rebirth. The contractions before the expansion. We talk about: Why your body aches during big soul upgrades What to do when your intuition feels silent How to hold yourself through the void without gaslighting your grief Why expansion always requires a death of the old identity And how to choose faith anyway, even when there’s no evidence yet This is the energy of labor. The sacred contraction before you become the woman you’ve called in. You have not been led astray. You aren't wrong. You’re birthing. Hold steady. And as always… Stop trying to be spiritual Let's work 1:1 on remembering who you are, your spiritual gifts, & soul healing HERE

If I wasn't afraid to hurt your feelings, I would tell you that: your psychic abilities/ intuition and how you feel about your life is directly connected to your spiritual practice & the inner work you are doing or not doing.  In this episode, I’m sharing what actually creates powerful intuition and deep spiritual connection and it’s not more card pulls or waiting for a sign. It’s consistency. It’s self-honesty. It’s healing. I talk about my own journey of navigating fear, letting go of performing spirituality, and how everything changed when I finally committed to being with myself through meditation, shadow work, and real embodiment. If you’re ready to stop trying to look spiritual and actually start living it this conversation is for you. Here’s what we dive into: Why psychic gifts aren’t meant for performance — they’re here to help you heal How fear and avoidance keep you disconnected from your truth Why consistency in your spiritual practice matters more than chasing signs What I learned about manifestation (that no one talks about) How to reconnect with your intuition and finally feel clear Let this be your reminder: you were never meant to seek outside yourself. You’ve always had access you just have to show up for it. Work 1:1 with me here: www.lailataylor.com 

Clairvoyance isn’t just “seeing spirits” or having wild visions. It’s subtle. It’s intuitive. And it’s probably already happening for you; you're just not calling it that yet. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about clairvoyance: what it really is (and isn’t), how to know if you're already using it, and the sneaky ways language and spiritual dogma can block you from trusting your gifts. I share my own awakening journey, the doubts I had, and how I began to fully reclaim my psychic vision. Whether you're deep in your spiritual work or just starting to tune in, this is your reminder that your intuition is real and it’s time to trust it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful session I had with a student who connected with her ancestors for the first time—and was completely overwhelmed by the love that came through. But here’s the thing… her lived experience growing up was the opposite. There was pain, gossip, disconnection. So how do you integrate that kind of spiritual love when your body still remembers the old story? This conversation goes deep into what happens when your awakening gives you a truth your nervous system isn’t used to holding. When you know you’re loved and guided—but you still feel tethered to old pain. If you’ve ever felt the gap between what spirit shows you and what life still feels like… this episode is for you.
