Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

Ep. 96- The Missing Piece of Spiritual Awakening: Learning to Witness Yourself

Self-love is one of the most common messages people receive during spiritual awakening. Love yourself more. Choose yourself. Be kinder to yourself. But what if the reason self-love feels so difficult isn't because you're doing it wrong? What if you simply haven't been taught how to witness yourself? In this episode, I explore the missing piece of spiritual awakening: learning to return to yourself. We discuss why so many intuitive and empathic people lose themselves in caretaking, how your spirit guides continually direct you back toward your own soul, and why true self-love begins with awareness, curiosity, and presence. Because you cannot love what you do not witness. We explore: • Why self-love often feels impossible during spiritual awakening • How childhood conditioning shapes your sense of worthiness • Why many empaths become disconnected from themselves • The connection between self-awareness, intuition, and psychic abilities • How to hold your own energy and create spiritual containment • A simple practice for witnessing yourself with compassion • What it means to speak over yourself during moments of fear, confusion, and uncertainty To be witnessed is to be loved. And perhaps one of the greatest acts of healing is learning to witness yourself with the same compassion you've always given to others.

Ep. 95-The Fear of Being Seen During Spiritual Awakening

Have you ever felt afraid to fully trust yourself because of what other people might think? In this episode, I share a personal experience that forced me to confront one of my deepest fears: being seen, judged, and misunderstood by the people closest to me. What I discovered was that beneath that fear was something even deeper: the fear of abandoning myself to keep others comfortable. Together, we'll explore the hidden relationship between shame, fear of judgment, and spiritual awakening, and why so many intuitive women find themselves holding back, questioning themselves, or struggling to fully step into who they are. By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of what may be keeping you stuck, why these fears feel so powerful, and how to move through them with curiosity, compassion, and choice so you can stop hiding and start trusting yourself more fully.

Ep. 94-How to Manifest Your Highest Self (Stop Waiting, Start Embodying)

You're waiting. Waiting for the house, the relationship, the psychic abilities, the clarity to finally arrive. And you think once they do, you'll feel different. Better. Finally worthy. But I'm going to tell you something that changes everything: You don't manifest your best life by waiting. You manifest it by becoming your highest self RIGHT NOW. In this episode, I'm breaking down the manifestation method that actually works and why everything you've been doing might be keeping you stuck. We cover: * Why waiting for the thing doesn't work (and what does) * How to embody your highest self in this very moment * The energetic frequency shift that makes manifestation effortless * Why my clients' questions disappear when they get into the heart * The big podcast opportunity I turned down (and why I wasn't ready) * How to feel worthy, safe, and abundant RIGHT NOW * The difference between manifesting FROM desperation vs. FROM alignment Here's the truth: Your highest self isn't waiting for you to get something. Your highest self is waiting for you to BECOME. Stop waiting. Stop hustling. Stop trying to earn your way to feeling good. Just become it now. And watch what manifests.

Ep. 93 – This Is What's Actually Distorting Your Psychic Abilities (It's Not What You Think)

Everyone wants to open their psychic abilities. But nobody tells you what happens when you turn up that dial without doing the inner work first. In this episode I'm talking about: * Why your unhealed energy doesn't disappear when you go psychic — it gets LOUDER * The entity and attachment debate (and where I actually land on it) * What I experienced for two years that made me feel like I was losing my mind and what it actually was * Why trying to help the world before helping yourself is just another form of spiritual bypassing * How to use your psychic abilities AS the healing tool, not the destination This is the episode I wish someone had handed me during my awakening.
