41. Waking Up in the Matrix (and What Happens When You Stop Playing the Game)

42. Finding My Way Home: The Courage to Heal Out Loud and Share the Messy Middle

I’m back. After a year away, this episode is my soft re-entry — a raw, unfiltered transmission from the messy middle of growth. In this conversation with myself (and with you), I share how burnout and over-functioning became my comfort zone, what nervous-system regulation has taught me, and how I’m learning to show up from overflow instead of survival. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s the courage to heal out loud and share the messy middle. It’s the story of finding my way home to myself, leaning into fear, and choosing authenticity over perfection. This season isn’t about performance. It’s about embodiment — letting you feel my frequency in real time as I navigate grief, healing, and self-trust. If you’ve ever tried to “push through” your transformation, this episode will remind you that your voice, your pace, and your presence are enough.

41. Waking Up in the Matrix (and What Happens When You Stop Playing the Game)

In this episode, I dive into the Immaculate Constellation report, a Pentagon whistleblower interview that shook me to my core—and sparked a full-on soul download. But this isn’t a conspiracy episode. This is about choice. This is about waking up from the personal Matrix—the one built by trauma, programming, and survival. I talk about inherited beliefs, shadow work, the systems we unconsciously feed, and what it actually looks like to unplug from the matrix without fighting it. I share the new rules I’m writing for myself, how energy creates reality, and why sovereignty starts within. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite belong in the “game,” or like something deeper is waking up inside you… this one’s for you. You’re not broken. You’re the rewire. 🎧 Featuring topics like: * The real meaning of “Matrix” in 2025 * Nervous system healing + intuitive self-reclamation * How to identify internalized programming * Creating new soul-aligned rules for your life If this episode hits, share it with someone who’s unplugging too.

39. Unfiltered and Candid: Spiritual Lessons, Psychic Readings, Haunted Houses, and Embracing Vulnerability

In this candid "spiritual bestie catch up" episode, I dive into lessons on vulnerability versus transparency, confronting past trauma, and the journey of embracing present-moment awareness. From an underwhelming psychic reading to confronting fears at a haunted house, I explore themes of emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and grounding in gratitude.

38. Exploring Power Dynamics & Embracing the Dark Feminine, Discussing the Book Unbound by Kasia Urbaniak

It’s Scorpio season, the time of year that dives into depth, intensity, and transformation. In this episode, I dive deep into the allure of dark feminine energy and share my journey of exploring power dynamics, inspired by the book Unbound: A Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia Urbaniak. From confronting old beliefs around “good girl” conditioning to reclaiming authentic power, we’re taking a look at the inner authority that so many of us are conditioned to suppress. I reflect on my experiences, share the layers of embracing the dark feminine archetypes, and invite you to explore where you might be giving away your power. This conversation includes powerful insights around domination and submission (beyond the stereotypical lens) and how energy flows impact our interactions. -------------------------------- 🌟 Book a reading with me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.ashleybrickhouse.com/book-online] - Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.AshleyBrickhouse.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.ashleybrickhouse.com] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@spiritualitywithashley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/spiritualitywithashley/] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@spiritualitywithashley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@spiritualitywithashley] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: Spirituality with Ashley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@spiritualitywithashley] - Email: support@ashleybrickhouse.com -------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Welcome to Scorpio Season 00:01:46 - Exploring the Dark Feminine 00:04:48 - Journey Through Education and Interests 00:09:00 - The Good Girl Persona 00:12:01 - Introduction to "Unbound" 00:15:29 - Understanding Power Dynamics 00:18:09 - The Energetics of Domination and Submission 00:22:26 - Non-Verbal Communication and Power 00:26:10 - Reclaiming Personal Power 00:30:36 - The Conditioning of Women and Power 00:34:25 - The Importance of Self-Awareness 00:39:01 - Personal Reflections on Identity 00:41:20 - Encouragement to Reclaim Power
