Leading With Spirit

Are you getting ready to grow your healing arts business but are unsure of where to begin?

As you grow your spiritual business and continue to grow your healing skills, you will inevitably run across ideas that other people have about:

✅ The best way to do things,

❌ What you should and shouldn't do, and

🌟 The methods for success.

And, of course, you will run across naysayers and haters in general.

Today, I want to talk about how to stay true to yourself while you're growing your spiritual business.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where I answer, "What's the difference between Reiki and Shamanic Healing?"

Welcome to the dreaming episode! 🌙

Dreams are a fascinating and magical thing to use in your spiritual practice and your life in general.

If you are already a vivid dreamer with a lot of dreaming experience, this episode will help you learn how to dive deeper into that gift.

However, if you aren't much of a lucid dreamer, this episode is also for you!

If you don't remember your dreams but would like to, I will walk you through important steps that you can use to grow your dreaming experience and use it in your life for growth and healing.

Stay tuned for the end of the episode where I answer the question, "What do you do when you see spirits?"

The year was 2017. 

I had just finished building a school bus camper with my partner at the time.

 I was preparing to leave my house in Georgia, which I’d had for over 12 years, to see what it was like to live on the road.

This is a very different place from where I am today and is also a big part of how I got here. 

I'm going to share with you the following: 

🚍 A little bit about the road life. 

🌵 What was happening for me while I was on the road, and 

✨ The steps I took once I realized I was ready to come forward and share my spiritual work with others.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where I answer, “How do you become a Shaman?”

 All plant medicines carry a unique intelligence.

 When you work with a plant, you walk away from the experience carrying the wisdom of that plant.

Today, I want to take the episode to share a little bit about:

Stay tuned til the end of the episode, where I answer the question, "How do you do soul retrieval?"

In this episode, our panel of experts in the field of psychedelics leads us through a candid conversation about:

🌿 The call to explore psychedelics,

✨ What it was like to move into the psychedelic field professionally, and

Hello and welcome to Psychedelics 101!

This is going to be the first of a series about psychedelic plant medicine and I am so excited to share it with you. 

Today we will be talking about:

Be sure to stay tuned til the end of the episode where I’ll answer the question, “Where is the best place to begin on my healing journey?”

Do you get super triggered when you see an example of when the internet is listening to you?

Do you feel like ads and marketing are just forms of toxic consumerism?

I've had a long-time distaste for advertising. 

In the past, I have been triggered by ads and have seen marketing as a form of brainwashing. 

However, I am starting to see some good in it. 

I like to see the creative ways that we communicate and share messages.

In this episode, I will share my journey from hating technology and ads to embracing and using them more intuitively and energetically. 

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where I answer, "How do I tap into the field for information?"

In this episode, I talk to Christian Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master, and Pastoral Counselor Dr. Amanda Brees.

She is a passionate bridge builder in many ways and is actively connecting the Christian world with the world of spirituality.

She has also cultivated a yoga practice to help heal codependency adaptable to different religious viewpoints, but it hasn’t taken off yet.

We do a live healing session to see where she might be blocked so she can open to abundance and get her work out there!

Are you intuitive and have been feeling the call to grow your spiritual gifts and figure out how to use them in your life or business?

Maybe you can feel the endless possibilities in your body but can’t quite tell what steps to take yet.

If you’re feeling called to connect more deeply with the earth, go through your next layer of healing, and offer your gifts to help others, then this episode is for you!

Missing out on your true purpose is the biggest disservice to yourself and becoming who you are meant to be is absolutely priceless. 

Be sure to stay tuned til the end of the episode where I answer the question, "What does it mean if I was a Shaman in a past life?"

Do you know people that you would really like to forget about or let go, but somehow they still find a way into your subconscious?

It can be frustrating when we think we have set a boundary but it's not working. 

That doesn't mean you can't do it, all it means is there is something left for you to see in the relationship. 

In this episode, I talk about:

🌙 Holding on to an unwanted visitor's psychic connection

🌙 Taking a look at the hooks, contracts, and energetic connections that exist in the unseen realm

🌙 How we can feel safe in our gifts without repeating the pattern of taking on other people's energy

Stay tuned til the end of the episode where I answer the question, “How do I end the game of constant struggle?”

In this episode, I have a conversation with Amy Dempster about the profound healing power of the earth.

🌳 How you too can share your own unique healing gifts with the earth.

My two words for the year are "Space" and "Play."

In this episode, I talk about the following:

Stay tuned til the end of the episode, where I answer the question, "How do I let go of bad habits or addictions?"

If you are struggling with comparison, feeling like you aren’t professional enough, or maybe you even feel like whenever you are feeling full and confident someone tries to take you down… you are likely in what is called the sister wound.

It is so deeply embedded in our culture and has us feeling like we need to constantly compete with or separate ourselves from others. 

In this episode, I talk about what causes the sister wound, how to identify it, and steps we can take to heal it within ourselves. 

Stay tuned til the end of the episode where I answer the question, "Where can I go for a plant medicine experience?"

You might know your spiritual connection and gifts and feel good about them but feel frustrated that people can’t see them.

Or maybe you feel like no one understands you, and if the world would evolve faster and be where you are, then they would understand you!

You might struggle with communicating what you do and how valuable it is.

And you might get stuck in cycles of scarcity.

Welcome to the East.

This month we will take a walk around the wheel of the four directions.

In this episode, we will be taking a look at the East.

Stay tuned til the end of the episode, where I answer the question: "How do I connect more to my gifts?"

People might tell you you are too much. You dream big. You have big ideas.

But you often find yourself overwhelmed, just trying to push through it.

It might feel like every time you do something confidently or claim your space, someone tries to make you smaller. 

At the end of the day, you manage everything for everyone else and don’t get any time for yourself.

On top of everything else, you might also be struggling with self-worth.

Does this sound familiar? 

This month we will take a walk around the wheel of the four directions. 

I will explain how knowing where you are on the wheel can help you tackle problems in your life and business.

I’ll be sharing both the gifts and the wounds you need to know to end your stuck pattern and enter into the gift of that direction.

I know a lot of healers that are professionally stuck. 

They love what they do but have a hard time breaking through their money blocks and showing up fully as the healer they were meant to be. 

These money beliefs do not align with their highest selves and spiritual gifts.

You know that feeling when you get into something new, and suddenly it feels like everyone is already doing it?

You might get consumed with thoughts like, 

"It's already been done," 

"Where do I fit in?" 

"If someone else is successful, I can't be successful."

These feelings can be hard to overcome when starting your spiritual business.
