Pick a card, any card ... because on this week's episode we are joined by shamanic energy medicine practitioner, the official shaman for VOGUE Magazine, and founder of STYLE RITUALS, COLLEEN MCCANN.  If you're into crystals, tarot readings, spirituality, intuition, spirits, ghosts, EVERYTHING MAGIC, this episode is for YOU. So for those of you who are new to the tarot card and crystal thing thing, it's basically a visual narrative of your past life, your current life, and your future life, as well as the emotions you are currently dealing with. Krista got a past life card, and she's pretty sure she's dealing with some karmic debt, while Lindsey got a Five of Cups card, meaning she's got plenty o' abundance. On the other hand, shamans are conduits to things people can't see in the unseen world, and provide messages and healing to those who need it. Shamans can realize they have their gifts at any age, and Miss McCann realized her's in her late twenties. From hearing voices constantly, having premonition dreams, seeing ghosts, and having other healers tell her she had a gift, Colleen knew she had to listen to the voices and put her 15 plus year in the fashion industry to an end. Although Krista, Linds, and Colleen go over a plethora of spirituality- related topics in this episode, the main takeaway is the importance of dabbling in various practices before you find the one you like. Or the one that "speaks" to you.

CALLING ALL WOMEN WHO FEEL THAT THEY ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS.  Seriously, don't look around.  That's YOU.  Hi!  You don't have to apologize for feeling that innate fire and pull toward something bigger.  Give this episode your full attention--you'll be given permission to take ownership of your dreams.  This week the girls are so excited to be sharing their interview with LORI HARDER.  Lori is the host of the Earn Your Happy Podcast, founder of The Bliss Project, author, cover model, three-time fitness world champion, a "self-love junkie", and a woman at the forefront of the "women supporting women" movement.  Her path to success has been a beautiful zigzag of highs and lows, revelations and resistance, self-love and overflowing generosity.  As Janet Jackson says, "WE GO DEEP"...(love you Janet).  Here's what we discuss:   How to receive what you need when swimming through the sea of self love books, guru's, programs, video's, practices, etc. Who was early 20's Lori and what did she learn in order to stand in her light and success now When she left home at 18 to essentially break the rules of her religious upbringing to eventually experience the wake-up calls needed to find the freedom and inspiration to follow the call of her soul to do big things How fitness saved her life Why she was the most sad and lonely at the height of her fitness competition career How paying it forward can shift your mindset Why the body doesn't change if the mind doesn't change Her commitment to being a forever student How to effectively set and achieve your goals How writing her book is forcing her to sit with her story and unwrap and reflect on everything and everyone that have brought her to this point If you connected with this episode, send to a friend who you know would connect with it, too.

This week's episode is based off of 2 words: HUMAN DESIGN. No, it's not an anatomy class or a biology lesson. It's all about YOU. Your body, your mind, but most importantly, your AURA and ASTROLOGICAL MAKE-UP.  Okay, still confused? Krista and Lindsey each receive a human design reading from an expert and spiritual goddess, JENNA ZOE. She spends this episode showing off her craft by helping the ladies make life decisions, control their minds, and get in touch with their bodies. Human Design uses your birth time and place to calculate your personal Human Design chart. In this calculation, the positions of Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of your birth play an important role. Astrology also uses the birth time and place to generate your natal chart, but it interprets the data differently – and Human Design is not astrology. Time to get ANTHROPOMORPHIC (In the words of our lovely guest)! Human Design calculates two moments in time. Our birth, which determines our conscious definition and a moment approximately 88 days before our birth (exactly 88 degrees of the sun before the moment of our birth), which determines our unconscious definition. The second; the pre-natal calculation is unique and crucial part of the Human Design revelation. Miss Jenna Zoe also breaks down the 4 TYPES OF HUMAN BEINGS manifestos generators projectors reflectors Definitely a note-taking episode, but an insightful one at that!
