Casually Profound

Talking about etymology, creativity & self-talk.

Stepanka and Shawna join me to follow up on my Episode 15, one of my solo episodes talking about creativity.

Talking about choosing our experience & owning our beliefs.

Shawna and Melissa join me after Pea the Feary’s Create Your Dream Job container to troubleshoot different aspects of reality creation. We dive right into examples from our own lives when the experiences we chose were a little hairy, and what we learned from them.In this episode we talk about: * What choosing events in your life really looks like (even if those events sucked). * The power of daydreams and how things come to life. * How we choose what is “real” and what is “not” in life. * How faith in a higher power impacts our reality. * Trump as an example of reality creation. * The ethical and moral implications of the beliefs that we each choose. * What happens when you expect everyone to adhere to the same set of beliefs. * How tension between people and groups is a tool for reality creation. * How individual beliefs scale up to the macro level of society. * How spiritual questions show up in secular spaces.

Talking about feeling intuition & embracing change.

Quinlan, Laney, and Anastasia join me today because I was wondering why people decide to grow. I wanted to get these ladies take on why we do the things we do on a spiritual path and how it has looked for each of us. This conversation went further into manifesting and motivation than I anticipated, but that’s kinda that best part! In this episode we talk about: * Why we each chose growth and how it happened. * How we experience intuition. * How human design helped to understand our intuition. * The difference between human design and astrology. * The link between choosing to grow and learning our unique sense of intuition. * Why not having all your desires fulfilled yet is a good thing. * How to move out of being overwhelmed by what you don’t want. * When we get disconnected from our dreams and how to bring our dreams inside of us. * Building strong neural pathways to our dreams. * Being away motivated vs. being towards motivated and how it impacts the long-term success of a habit change. * How our conscious choices help build a better mental and emotional baseline. * How dopamine plays into habit changes and building self-trust. * How finding out you don’t like something helps in the long run.

HOT TAKE: Credibility is ruining authenticity and what to pursue instead.

I join you solo today to talk about patterns I’ve noticed in the spiritual community that seem to be perpetuating outdated patterns of credibility. I wanted to share because I see so many opportunities for more deconditioning (in human design terms) that can bring us into closer community and deeper wisdom.In this episode I discuss: * How coaches typically establish credibility and authority within the spiritual community. * How to demonstrate what you know as a coach. * Hiding behind credentials or trainings without embodying that wisdom. * How to acknowledge the lineage of your teachers. * How most human design readers seem to signal they don’t actually have embodied wisdom on their topic. * How some coaches market their connection to source without integrity. * The hierarchy “authority” puts over our clients. * The criteria I think actually lends authority to coaches or spiritual mentors. * What opportunities exist within the spiritual community to find new definitions of credibility. * People I think are demonstrating this nuanced level of credibility well.

Talking about timeline jumps, AI, & symbology of the soul.

Angelique & Shawna join me to discuss our experience within Pea the Feary’s Create Your Dream Job container but we went far and wide from there. The start of this episode catches us part way into the conversation, but it was too good and related too much to the rest of the conversation to cut out.In this episode we talk about: * The nature of AI and how humans relate to AI. * Internal wisdom of the body vs. mental knowing and how we integrate each. * The practice of yoga in everyday life. * The social structures influenced by personal growth. * The decolonizing journey we’re each going through. * Connecting with our soul to give meaning to the symbols all around us. * How culture and heritage influences our embodiment of soul lessons in this lifetime. * The timeline jumps we’ve experienced intentionally and in everyday life. * Pictish symbols and Scottish tribal origins. * Celtic Healing Reiki versus speaking the language of the forest. * Seeing energy as binary code. * Practicing flying in our dreams. * How we practice dream work in the waking and the sleeping realms. * The connection between dreams and deja vu.
