Deconstructing New Year - Following the Natural Flow

It's been a minute! Welcome back to Soul Sis, the podcast where we talk about all things spiritual, truth seeking, and soul inspiring as we work through what the collective is going through and focus on following the divine feminine path of intuitive feeling in a world where this aspect of ourselves is so often suppressed. It's now 2023, which means a new year, but the same you and me. And we're here to embrace this version of ourselves in every waking moment, honoring whatever that looks like from moment to moment. I took some time to myself to decide how to approach the new year. Took some time to turn inward and rest and heal from a hard holiday season. We are all still well within the thick of winter during this time. New year is 11 days after Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. This is the heart of winter, a time for hibernation, rest, dreaming, embracing the darkness/shadows, stillness and release, as well as a time for nourishment and keeping oneself warm. Though society encourages us to jump into action with a 'New Year, New Me' attitude,  I encourage you to follow your feelings and honor where you are at, and where we are at in this season of life that inspires us to do the opposite. Rest, nourish yourself, reflect, and do not feel the need to jump right into action right now. Do what works for you, and do it for you and not for the expectation of anyone else. Do your best not to set extreme expectations of yourself during this time as well. Follow the flow of the divine feminine. All is well. You are perfect exactly as you are. Anything that feels less than love is there to help you align with your highest truth.  Just because society has declared that it is a time to take action does not mean that Mother Nature agrees. As an extension of nature herself, you don't have to either, if it doesn't feel right for you. Following your feelings and flowing with the seasons is living in alignment with your innate nature, with the natural order. Don't be led to feel wrong for recognizing that this inorganic force opposing the natural flow is not in alignment with you. Trust your intuition to guide you. “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu DISCLAIMER: This podcast is to start a conversation and is not for educational, medical, or professional purposes.

How Your Habits Shape Your Reality - Change Your Rituals Change Your Life

We're diving back into the hot topic of habits and how each decision we make shapes every aspect of our environment on an internal and external level. Whether you're consciously aware or unconsciously operating on autopilot, whatever routines you're accustomed to practicing on a regular basis actually make up the sum total of everything you have and do not have right now. If there are aspects of your life that you are less than satisfied with, first- take this time to write out every detail what you desire out of this life for yourself. Next- separately make a bullet-point list of what your everyday routine looks like down to every minute you can track. These are your habits. Once you have this list, go back through it and write down whether each bullet point in your routine is a liability or an asset in moving you closer to the ideal life or version of yourself you envisioned in that first list. That dream life exists, your highest self is calling. It's up to you to answer the call. Take each bullet point from your routine and ask yourself what's the trigger, routine, and result. Once you know the triggers, you'll be self-aware enough to choose something that will serve as an asset instead of a liability. In taking that routine which has become the habit and transforming it into a new ritual,  you will embody a new result that reaps the long term reward of living in alignment with the life you're creating by design.

Staying Spiritually Sound Through The Holiday Season

It's Thanksgiving week, which marks the beginning of the holiday season. Some would say "It's the most wonderful time of the year"... I, however, beg to differ... and in today's soulo episode I'll explain why the holiday season can be hard on us all for different reasons. It's a great time to check in with yourself, your needs, and the expectations you've been taking on that perhaps don't align with your true values and beliefs. I use the 5 love languages [https://5lovelanguages.com/learn] to decipher all the ways we can express our love, gratitude, and inner peace during this time of year. Time to let go of the commercialism, consumerism, and conventional expectations imposed by society, strangers, and even our communities and closer relationships and get clear on how we want to express these things authentically for ourselves. Lastly I'll share some ways in which I'm staying aligned through practices embodying self love, inner peace, and my personal space in hopes that they leave you feeling inspired to check in with yourself too and really choose to create space for the things that light you up inside. So much gratitude for you, and for this ability to share this message and moment with you.

Honoring Your Innate Gifts & Sharing Them With the World

As promised in last weeks episode, we are discussing honing in on and honoring our innate gifts and unique talents. We are all born into this life with a certain level of privilege, specific skillsets, as well as a level of struggles we are to face and do our best to overcome. When we learn to recognize how these aspects of ourselves and our circumstances, we can learn to make them work for us, and not the other way around. This episode is all about learning to ask yourself the right questions about which gifts you've got in your arsenal of abilities, which of these you are cultivating for yourself vs. for others, and which make you feel most in alignment with what you want for yourself in your life. How can you use what you've been given to reach your fullest potential? We we unlock this potential by asking the right questions, we can begin to utilize our innate talents, cultivated skills, and God-given gifts to feel more gratitude, fulfillment, find freedom, and give back in our own authentic way- attaining personal, professional, & spiritual success.  It is your unique blend of talents, skills, circumstances, and values that give you your authentic edge to find what you're looking for from within. Thank you for connecting with me in this present moment to ponder some of these thought-provoking questions that I hope have you inspired to do some introspection and take aligned action accordingly.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is to start a conversation and is not for educational, medical, or professional purposes.

Closing Out Eclipse Season Talking About Transformation

Today's episode airs on the total lunar eclipse in Taurus, which felt like a prime time to talk about transformations. This soulo episode is a free-flowing conversation, focusing on how transformations occurring internally are just as important as those that others see externally. Sometimes, when we undergo a transformative time in our lives, what others see may not be in alignment with how we truly feel about the changes occurring. This episode is a gentle reminder to always be kind to yourself, as well as others, as even though it may look like a healthy transformation is occurring outwardly, there may very well be some serious struggles occurring behind closed doors. Now is an amazing time to reflect on what we'd like to let go of in our lives, so we can make room for something more in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. In creating the space, we can then take aligned action from a more Yin, gentle, slow and steady space, and surrender to the process of transformation- trusting in the timing of our lives to bring us exactly where we're meant to be.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is to start a conversation and is not for educational, medical, or professional purposes.
