133: Changing your Perception with James Purpura

Today I have on James Purpura, creator of Powerful U and author of Perception: Seeing is not believing. I wanted to have James on the show today for a very specific reason. I wanted James on today because we are officially in the month of June. This is the month and day where things dramatically start to shift. Today marks the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius - a sign that represents politics, economics, education, communications and media. The moon affects our mood, home and domestic qualities - it...

132: Making the best of the present moment with Brittney Carmichael

Today I have back on the show, Shine School® creator, Brittney Carmichael. Y’all, if you get a chance you need to look her up on Facebook and Instagram. I tell her all the time that she has the most amazing Chi! It's animated and strong. If you want to see healthy flowing chi, she’s the poster child! As usual I did not have a guiding plan for the show. I wanted it to unfold and flow as the universe saw fit and what came out was nothing short of amazing. We discussed overcoming fears, things that...

131: Elevating to 5D with Rhianna Mays

Today I have on Master reiki healer, Rhianna Mays. I call her a dragon flame thrower but she’s a very powerful, intuitive healer that can shift and manipulate energy like a ninja. As you know I'm very intentional about how I place guests and when I put them on the show and Rhianna is no different. I wanted Rhianna on in the month of May to help us heal our Chi. We’ve been through a lot not only because of the pandemic but also the energy of this year is intense to say the least. Rhianna experien...

130: The Venus Star Point® with Astrologer Arielle Guttman

Today I have on astrologer Arielle Guttman. I wanted to have her on the show this month because I consider her a Venus expert. And since Venus just went retrograde it seems timely to have the expert on the show to give us a little more information about what all that means. In the early 2000's she received a download from spirit about this incredible planet and developed a system called the Venus Star Point® - it's extremely fascinating and further explains who we are and how we operate. What I ...

129: 6 things everyone needs to do to avoid dirty Chi

Today's show is going to teach you 6 things you need to implement in your home, to avoid dirty energy. So many people fail to pay attention to the details in their home, but energy doesn't lie. Get these 6 things wrong and it will deflect the opportunities you attract, trigger your nervous system and it could cause you an inability to speak up. It's one of the reason I end every show with "trust the vibe." Everything is energy and energy is everything and given the astrology that we are about to...

128: Keto Green 16 with Dr Anna Cabeca

Today I have back on the show Dr. Anna Cabeca sharing her latest book, Keto Green 16. If you're struggling to lose weight, experiencing brain fog, low energy or not feeling right, going Keto green may just be the answer! What I love about her approach is that it's well research and proven to work, and it's also a powerful way to take your health back so you feel great. Today we will talk about what she has been up to, what inspired her to write the book and what you can expect to learn and gain ...

127: Expanding Your Human Potential with Dr Susan Shumsky

In my opinion, Dr Shumsky is a trailblazer in healing the human condition for the western world. She has written 17 books and I've secretly been stalking her for years. Now the original plan was to focus on her book, Chakras and Chakra healing. I thought it would be the perfect tool to help everyone transcend this great awakening with grace. However, being that she is an expert in prayer, meditation, affirmation, intuition and expanding the human potential to the nth degree, I allowed this conve...

126: Give a Sh*t, and Save the Planet with Ashlee Piper

About three months ago one of my friends had asked me if I had heard of this book, Give a shit. Then not even a week later someone mentioned it to me again and said I needed to connect with Ashelee because I would find she is my spirit animal. Holy bananas they were right. Her book, Give a Sh*t, Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet, is by far one of the easiest books to embrace and start getting sh*t done. In today's show you’ll learn easy things to add in your every day life to be a kick ass e...

Today I want to share with you my top 3 nature spirits you can work with to boost your Chi and elevate your experience with nature.

124: Revisiting Feng Shui and Astrology with Tisha and Rachel

I'm excited to invite back on the show Tisha Morris and Rachel Lang. So many of you reached out after our December show thanking me for the information so I knew that it would be poignant to have them back on to pick up where we left off. What can we expect? What does the energy entail in the coming months? If you go back and listen to the show in December we talked about the severity and restriction we would be facing and we also discussed how to get the Feng Shui right since we’d be at home - ...

123: Benefits to starting a spring garden with Ben Hale

As promised, I'm trying to flood you with positivity through this show to help you adjust to your new normal. Today I have invited Ben Hale back to the show to talk about cultivating our Chi through our spring gardens. What I think is really great about this time is it's awakening us to the importance of nature. We have been forced to slow down so we are recognizing the beauty and benefits to what nature provides - and y’all know my love affair with nature and her spirits! So what better way to ...

122: How to Shine at Home with Brittney Carmichael

Today I'm sharing an impromptu interview I did with Brittney Carmichael a couple of days ago. I had no real theme or purpose to the show - but I wanted to have her on so that we could talk about ways you can shine at home, stay sane, and stay positive. I'm actually recording with her again in a couple of weeks so it made for a super fun show knowing we'd be able to pick up where we left off. Today Brittney and I are going to talk about ways to Shine at home, tools to stay sane and how to maximiz...

121: Turning uncertainty into all-knowing with Lisa Erickson

This pause is a silent reminder to go inward, and it's perfectly ok if you want to grieve this process. But how do you manage the overwhelming anxiety? Good graces, we are transmuting and processing so much right now, and it can really screw up your Chi. My show today will show you how to utilize this time to get creative and get in touch with your authentic self. This is a time to really focus on self preservation and eliminating what no longer serves you. We’ve got a lot of major energy shifts...

119: Personal 2020 Astrology with Gray Crawford

Today's show is furthering the conversation about 2020’s astrology and more importantly, how your personal astrology plays into the picture. I had Gray look at my chart and his own to compare how the astrology is affecting us differently. I wanted to do this because comparison is the thief of joy. You may be looking at others right now and thinking they are sailing through this process or that their life doesn’t seem so hard. So Gray and I will talk about the years overall astrology, energies th...

118: Taking Command in the Bedroom: the do's, don'ts, and how-to's

So a couple of weeks ago another realtor in my office came running up to me and said "I need a real Feng Shui expert to help me get something straight," and I thought, uh oh! Hope I'm up for the task! She continued to explain that she was told by someone who "knows" a lot about Feng Shui told her that her bed was in the wrong position and that she needed to move it immediately otherwise she’d experience a fall of misfortune. Oh good lord I thought. And what was this really all about? In Feng Shu...

116: Quick Fix Feng Shui

Today I'm sharing a recent email from a listener looking for a quick fix to her health problem. If you've listened to any of my shows you know I do not subscribe to this level of kitschy Feng Shui. But Why? Can't energy work in an instant? Or does it take time? In this episode, I share with you this email I received looking for a quick fix and an incredible story shared by my Nashville client Danielle, who invested real time to achieve her Feng Shui goals and not not only became a homeowner but ...

115: The 3 reasons your Feng Shui is not working

Today I'm going to share 3 reasons why your Feng Shui is not working. I was inspired to do this post after having a conversation with several real estate agents in my office a few weeks ago. Now if you’ve taken any of my online courses or in-person workshops the tips that I'm going to share with you today are how I start every class, workshop and course I do, with these principles in mind. Sometimes I feel like a broken record but their simplicity often gets overlooked and people want to skip to...

114: Healing through your animal spirits' communication

Today I'm sharing a minisode inspired by a podcast listener who had a mystical experience with animals. Over the past ten years I've talked a lot about the importance of animals, nature spirits and caring for trees. But why is it important? What can it reveal to you? In today's show I explain what an animal spirit is, how to work with one and why it matters. I also share some terrific examples that I've had in my own life, along with listener Kristy's incredible bird experience!

112: Using Feng Shui to Find Love

Today I'm sharing a minisode, inspired by fan and listener, Jeny. So many of you get caught up in the mundane aspects of what you think Feng Shui is and it hinders your results. And I get it, there is so much misinformation out there it's hard for a novice to discern what's right or wrong! Because this is one of my biggest pet peeves about Feng Shui, because I think it dilutes its transformational qualities and true benefits to making our lives better, I want to explain to you the differences an...

111: On fire with Love. Living the life of St Francis with James Twyman

Today I have on an incredible guest, James Twyman. He’s the author of multiple books, a musician AND he’s now doing an amazing play on broadway about St Francis. He’s done so much in fact, hahahaha, you’ll hear me getting the facts all messed up on the show today because despite doing research on James for two weeks, he's accomplished so much I couldn’t keep it all straight! Like all my shows I was extremely intentional about putting James on in the month of January. If your month has started ou...

109: Roadblocks to ascension with Marlene Cronin

Today I've got back on the show master healer, Marlene Cronin. Let me ask you, do you ever feel like ascension is an elusive carrot on a string? When I followed up with Marlene to have her back on the show we were originally going to talk about 2020 and the upheaval that many mystics have been talking about for a decade. She surprised me by saying she wasn’t the right gal for that conversation and that she'd rather talk about how ascension has become a carrot dangling on a string never quite wit...

107: The Feng Shui Equation to Living a Purpose Filled Life

Today my guest is me and we are going to talk about the Feng Shui equation. This is something that's been stewing in my brain for awhile and I've been trying to formulate it into an intelligent show and I'm not quite sure it's there, but either way it needs to be heard. Spirit has been pushing me for several weeks to get this info out and I don’t think they care that I don’t think it's perfect. The contemporary world knows nothing about “success” and it sets you up for failure. For most people, ...

Today I have on author Craig Kolavo. His new book ‘I Am God In Disguise And So Are You’ is an extremely approachable book about purpose, and how to discover, surrender and inspire you and those around you into making positive changes. When we tap in, tune in and turn on the light within us we find joy, happiness, and our authentic selves. Unfortunately, many of us allow the ego, what Craig calls the bodyguard, to run the show. By allowing the ego to run the show this creates the idea that you ar...

Today I have on spiritual healer extraordinaire, Alison Ledbetter. Alison has a wide-ranging skillset of reiki, energy healing, mediumship, past life regression and spiritual guidance all rolled into one, but I don’t want to get into labeling her skillset because it goes way beyond the English language of what the skills even represent. A few weeks ago I did a session with Alison just to get a feel for what she did - thus realizing that calling her a “reiki” healer or “medium” was far too limiti...
