Ease the Squeeze: A Soulful Conversation with Azuree Ashby Lowery on Rest, Renewal, and Giving Yourself Space and Grace

If you've been feeling tired, disconnected, uncertain, or simply in need of permission to slow down, this candid conversation may be exactly what you need to hear. Akashic records reader and energy clearer Azuree Ashby Lowery returns to Finding Focus for another unscripted discussion about life, intuition, personal growth, and the energetic shifts so many people have been experiencing. Together, we explore the feeling that many of us have been carrying lately—a sense of overwhelm, exhaustion, emotional intensity, and the need to pull back and recharge. We discuss the importance of honoring life's natural cycles, allowing ourselves periods of rest and integration, and resisting the pressure to constantly be productive. Along the way, we talk about boundaries, energy management, community, self-compassion, spiritual growth, and the courage it takes to share our gifts with the world. Azuree also offers a powerful channeled message encouraging listeners to "ease the squeeze," let themselves off the hook, and create more space and grace in their lives. Episode Highlights: * Why so many people have been feeling emotionally and energetically overwhelmed * The metaphor of ocean waves, collective energy, and periods of integration * How weather, nature, and world events can mirror what we're experiencing internally * Recognizing when it's time to rest instead of forcing yourself to keep pushing forward * The difference between healthy support and relationships that drain your energy * Practical ways to clear and reset your energy, including water, music, nature, sage, and intention * Why watching Netflix, taking naps, or doing "nothing" can sometimes be exactly what your soul needs * The importance of honoring life's natural seasons of expansion and retreat * How a friend's tough-love phone call became the catalyst for renewed inspiration and creativity * Moving through life's recurring cycles of plateau, awakening, reassessment, and action * Why we often make life far more complicated than it needs to be * The parallels between learning golf, developing intuition, and personal growth * The challenges of sharing spiritual gifts in a skeptical world * Standing confidently in your truth without needing to convince others * Building meaningful community and becoming a safe place for others * The role of self-love, self-acceptance, and compassion in personal growth   Connect with Azuree (Akashic Readings & Clearings) Website: www.akashicazuree.com [http://www.akashicazuree.com/] Instagram: @akashicazuree YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@akashicazuree [about:blank]   Connect with Kathleen (Intuitive Guidance • Spiritual Readings ) Website: https://kathleendavenport.com [https://kathleendavenport.com/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kathydavenport808 [https://www.youtube.com/@kathydavenport808] Here's where you can find and connect with Kathleen in all the cozy corners where she hangs out: https://linktr.ee/kathleendavenport Available on all major podcast stations, Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport is where transformation stories come alive.

I Think I'm Intuitive...So Why Can't I Access It?

So many people believe they can’t access their intuition… because they can’t meditate. But what if that’s not the problem? In this episode, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions around intuition and higher guidance—and why forcing yourself into traditional meditation practices may actually be getting in the way. The truth is, most people are already intuitive. They’re already receiving information. They just don’t recognize it… or don’t trust what they’re getting. We’ll explore: * Why meditation isn’t the only (or best) way to access intuition * How intuitive guidance actually shows up in everyday moments * The real reason people doubt or dismiss what they receive * How your natural way of thinking and processing affects how intuition comes through * Why intuition and logic aren’t opposites—and how they work together I also share insights from my own experience transitioning from a highly analytical military background to understanding how intuitive processing was always part of how I operated—I just didn’t have the language for it. If you’ve ever thought, “I think I’m intuitive… but I don’t trust it,” his episode will help you see what’s really going on—and what’s been missing. If you’re ready to go deeper, I’ve created a private mentorship called Applied Intuition: Developing Your Intuitive Intelligence where I help you learn how to access, trust, and apply your intuitive intelligence in real life and real decisions.

The Magic in the Pause: Reinventing Life at Any Age with Janet Wiszowaty

In this heartfelt episode of Finding Focus, Kathleen Davenport sits down with longtime friend Janet Wiszowaty for a rich conversation about reinvention, resilience, healing, and the courage to keep growing at every stage of life.   Janet shares her remarkable journey from high school dropout and young mother to Royal Canadian Mounted Police dispatcher, author, speaker, coach, and retreat leader. Along the way, she opens up about the life events that shaped her—including her husband’s heart attack, her own struggles with fibromyalgia, PTSD, burnout, and the wake-up calls that forced her to pause, listen, and choose a new path.   Together, Kathleen and Janet explore the power of personal development, the importance of the people we surround ourselves with, and the truth that it is never too late to begin again. They talk about how busyness can mask what truly needs our attention, how the body often signals what the soul already knows, and why healing, purpose, fun, friendship, and legacy all matter in building a meaningful life.   This episode is a reminder that your life is not over just because one chapter ended. Sometimes the pause is where the real magic begins.   Episode Highlights * Janet shares how a lack of confidence in her younger years did not stop her from building an extraordinary life. * A powerful reflection on how beliefs about who we are often come from others—and can be rewritten. * Why retirement is not the end for many people, but the start of a whole new chapter. * Janet’s story of navigating her husband’s heart attack and how that experience eventually led to her own physical collapse. * A moving conversation about fibromyalgia, trauma, and how the body stores what we do not process. * Why healing often begins when we stop ignoring the “little taps on the shoulder.” * Kathleen and Janet discuss the danger of staying busy to avoid what really needs attention. * The importance of vision, present-moment action, and consciously choosing how to respond to life. * Janet introduces her retreat, The Magic in the Pause, and the seven life areas she believes deserve our attention. * A conversation about friendship, environment, and why the people around us shape our energy, focus, and possibilities. * Janet shares how she turned a dream of speaking at the United Nations into reality. * A beautiful reminder that no training, teacher, or mentor “changes your life” for you—they help bring out what is already within you. * The episode closes with encouragement to stop waiting, trust the timing of your life, and remember that growth is possible at any age.   Key Takeaways * It is never too late to reinvent yourself. * The body often speaks when the mind refuses to listen. * Busyness can become a mask. * Healing requires attention, choice, and action. * The right people can help you see possibilities you cannot yet see for yourself. * Pauses are not always setbacks; sometimes they are invitations. * Your lived experience holds wisdom that can serve others.   Contact Janet Wiszowaty:  ·     Text: 780 983 0840 ·     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janet.wiszowaty?mibextid=LQQJ4d [https://www.facebook.com/janet.wiszowaty?mibextid=LQQJ4d] ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetwiszowaty/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetwiszowaty/] ·     Instagram: NowWhatCoach Here's where you can find and connect with Kathleen in all the cozy corners where she hangs out: https://linktr.ee/kathleendavenport Available on all major podcast stations, Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport is where transformation stories come alive.
