Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

If you’re someone who gives intuitive or psychic readings or wants to; This episode is essential. I’m sharing what completely changed my confidence, accuracy, and connection when I started reading for clients… and it wasn’t another training or tool. It was my inner child. I used to spiral before every session. What if I get it wrong? What if I don’t get anything? What if they don’t understand me? I thought I just needed to get better at reading… but what I really needed was to meet the part of me that was scared to be seen, scared to be wrong, and scared to be magical. In this episode, we dive deep into: – How your inner child affects your clarity as a reader – What to do before every session to feel grounded and expansive – Why your nervous system is the missing key to connection – How I accidentally blocked clients from booking because of self-doubt – Symbolic inner child work to build confidence and trust – What I did every day to go from self-doubt to soul-trust If you’re ready to feel clear, grounded, and powerful in your readings, this episode will show you how to reconnect with the part of you that always knew.

If your intuition feels foggy, your channel feels blocked, or your readings feel "off" you’re probably bypassing the work or need to double down on it; That will truly change everything. In this episode, I’m sharing why inner child and shadow work are the missing keys to unlocking your clearest, most trustworthy psychic abilities. These gifts do not turn off; they just get flipped on their heads. Your clairvoyance becomes fear. Your clairsentience becomes overwhelm. Your clairaudience turns into mental noise. We talk about: Why your psychic abilities must be grounded in nervous system safety The connection between fear, trauma, and your energetic filter How shadow work reveals where your light has been misdirected The daily energetic check-in I do to tune my “channel” A story about my clairvoyant husband and what happened when he hit a spiritual wall The dangerous side of spiritual gifts without deep self-connection This is a transmission straight from my guides to your spirit. If you’re ready to move from chaos and fear into clarity and confidence in your gifts: this episode is your sign. Listen now and reclaim the parts of you holding the power you’ve been seeking.  Leave a comment below let me know how this episode hit you <3

If you've ever felt like you're not receiving anything from your intuition; like you're trying to hear your spirit guides, channel the Akashic Records, or connect psychically and it’s just… crickets. This episode is for you. This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today. But after a mentorship session, I had to hit record and speak straight to you all. Because the truth is: the reason you think you're blocked isn't because you're not intuitive it's because you're being way too serious about it. In this raw and real conversation, I walk you through: Why being “stuffy” is actually choking your intuitive voice How childhood patterns, trauma, and religious conditioning block your spiritual gifts The underestimated magic of play, imagination, and “BS-ing” in your spiritual practice Why your fear of being wrong is holding you back more than any actual lack of ability How ritual and subconscious reprogramming actually unlock intuitive clarity I’ll also share some reflections from my own journey and the practices that changed everything. Whether you're an intuitive beginner or a seasoned channeler, this episode will help you soften, reconnect, and flow with your gifts in a whole new way.  Reminder: You don’t need to prove your worth to receive spiritual connection. It’s already yours. You just need to stop judging what’s coming through. Let’s have more fun with it. Book a Spirit Connector Session or look out for my upcoming course if you want to go deeper. Until next time… stop trying to be spiritual

What do you do when life hits you with the kind of grief, betrayal, and shock that makes you question everything you thought you knew? In this personal episode, I share what’s been coming up for me during this current eclipse season especially around unexpected endings, betrayal, and the unraveling of relationships I thought were solid. This isn’t just about astrology (though yes, Virgo/Pisces eclipse energy is loud); it’s about the universal moments when life cracks open and forces us to decide who we’re going to be in the middle of it. I talk about:-The patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism that keep us silencing ourselves-What it means to actually move emotions through the body without intellectualizing them -How I’ve been learning to use my voice in a way that’s messy, heart-led, and true -Why boundaries are holy, and why forgiveness starts with yourself- And the power of staying steady even when everything feels unstable If you're in the middle of something right now if your world feels a little upside down this ones for you. Come float in the storm with me. You’re not alone. And even in the confusion, all is well. Let this episode be your permission to grieve, to reset, and to come back to your truth.

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
