Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast (Josephine Hardman, PhD)

You must often face your own patterns, limitations, and triggers as you grow a spiritual or healing business. Working as a healer, coach, or spiritual practitioner requires you to continually heal yourself, release old patterns, and keep evolving - so you can show up for the people you serve at your highest level.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about the emotional work required in growing a spiritual business. I address:

• the triggering event in my own business that sparked this episode (what the trigger was and how I dealt with it)
• dysfunctional patterns that can come up as you grow your spiritual business and work with clients, including imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and second-guessing yourself
• WHY doing emotional work on ourselves is required for us healers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners
• how to begin showing up at your highest level, so you can powerfully serve your clients (and make the work you do more rewarding)

If you're committed to growing your business and serving others through transformational healing work, I invite you to consider my Akashic Records Certification Program:

Do you have a personality that creates and perpetuates stress in your life? In this episode, we'll dive into these stress-inducing personality traits:

• perfectionism
• "good girl" or "good boy" syndrome, a.k.a. people-pleasing
• rigidity
• excessive skepticism, a.k.a. needing to see before you will believe
• attachment to rational/linear thinking
• defensiveness
• egocentrism

We'll also talk about some antidotes and ways to begin softening these traits, so they won't rule your life anymore.

I mention two helpful books in this episode: 

• Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self: Contemplations from the Teachings of David Hawkins
• Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore whether it's possible to remain on the spiritual path - and continue evolving - while using substances such as alcohol and drugs.

Join me for a discussion on:

• can alcohol use be compatible with the spiritual path?
• the importance of identifying our intentions and motivations for using substances
• how to notice if a particular substance or behavior is hindering your growth
• being mindful of how we're bonding with others, especially if some of our relationships are built mostly on substance use

Towards the end of this episode, I asked my husband and lifelong spiritual seeker Garrett to chime in with his first-hand experience of psychedelics and "tripping" (since I have none!).

I extend my deepest gratitude to Kris for writing in and sparking this episode! Your openness and vulnerability in sharing have served all of us.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I interview Alaina Schwartz -- an international speaker, best-selling author, and Elite Performance Coach who is passionate about helping heart-centered, high-achieving, service-based entrepreneurs to double and triple their income and impact while reducing their workload by 20-30 hours a week.

With over 25 years of experience in entrepreneurship, Alaina uses cutting-edge tools to support her clients in making shifts at the DNA level to align with their Soul’s purpose so they can move out of stress and into joyful and sustainable 7+ figure success. 

Join us for a discussion on:

• what it really takes to align with your highest purpose (NOT based on external success and/or what others want you to do with your life)
• Alaina's story of walking away from a successful legal career to follow her North Star (and how she created an even MORE successful and aligned coaching career)
• how to get into a state of flow through parasympathetic activation, so you can take actions to grow your business with ease
• how to "quantum leap" your way into massive abundance and aligned opportunities
• how to shift your relationship to TIME (so you can make the best use of your time and stop feeling rushed)

Having a dysfunctional relationship to time can make it difficult to stay present and grounded in each moment. In this episode, I explore the modern syndrome called "hurry sickness", which tends to manifest in the following ways:

- a feeling of always trying to beat the clock (and always keeping an eye on the clock)
- a feeling of never having enough hours in the day
- the compulsion to do more and more in less and less time
- inability to relax at the end of the day or even when you're away from work
- frustration, irritability, anxiety, and stress regarding time and deadlines
- physical symptoms such as muscle aches, tension headaches, insomnia, and restlessness in the body

After examining the different ways in which "hurry sickness" might be showing up in your life, we'll dive into practical and spiritual approaches to heal your relationship to time. Applying the suggestions in this episode will help you feel more expansive, less hurried, and anchored in the present moment.

As a tool for accessing Divine Guidance, quantum healing, and rapid transformation, the Akashic Records can help you become fully aligned with your true purpose - and live that purpose every day.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I tell my personal story of leaving a successful career in academia to do spiritual work full-time... and the KEY role that the Akashic Records played in making that transition. (I couldn't have done it without them!)

Join me for a discussion of:

• how I started recognizing that my successful, years-long career in academia wasn't fully aligned with me
• the messages I received from my Higher Self (and from the Akashic Records) along the way
• how the Akashic Records helped me release an old identity and step into a more authentic, aligned, and fulfilled version of myself
• how the Akashic Records helped me build a sustainable, 6-figure spiritual business
• the importance of trusting and following the Divine Guidance and "sacred nudges" we receive on our life path

We're living through a time of collective awakening.

Those of us on the spiritual path are being challenged to rise above and stay OUT of the confusion, fear, division, reactivity, and projection we often see and experience out in the world. 

Many people today find themselves in a state of confusion, fear, and overwhelm - which can lead them to act in dysregulated ways and project their unconscious stuff and unconscious needs onto others (maybe, at times, onto you!).

This episode of INNER WORK is about achieving a state of Divine Neutrality so you can remain centered, calm, and grounded even amidst external chaos or when someone unconsciously projects their "stuff" onto you. (This is also about becoming increasingly better at not projecting OUR stuff onto others, either.)

The Akashic Records are the most potent tool I know for achieving this state of Divine Neutrality, consistently.

Let's talk about this!

I hope something in this episode speaks to you, and inspires you to continue releasing fear and moving forward with an energy of love, detachment, and peace.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener email that asked this question: What happens when a decision on your spiritual journey hurts someone else?

We'll dive into the topic of making tough choices on your spiritual path, when you know those choices will likely upset, hurt, or disappoint someone else. Join me for a discussion on:

• why it's so critical for you to live your truth and follow your Soul's calling, and how it hurts you and everyone else when you don't do this
• how to be more ok with disappointing others as you continue awakening
• how you can live authentically without abandoning yourself while still being a compassionate human
• the importance of detachment in close relationships (especially family relationships)

Thank you to Diane for submitting this thought-provoking question!

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore why it's important to identify any behaviors, habits, relationships, or choices that could be suppressing your life force. This is your vital energy, which animates your physical body. For you to feel healthy, balanced, and spiritually connected, your life force must be flowing freely throughout your body and energy system.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what is your life force, and where does this concept come from?
• what are the negative consequences of suppressing or blocking your life force?
• which behaviors, habits, and patterns can potentially suppress your life force and drain your energy?
• questions to ask yourself to determine if you're supporting your life force or blocking it

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore the distinct advantages of using the Akashic Records as a healing modality in your coaching, spiritual, or healing business.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what makes the Akashic Records different from other spiritual tools and modalities 
• how we can use the Akashic Records for quantum healing, insights, and transformation
• how the Records can help you clear your own "stuff" (fear, resistance, self-doubt, other unhelpful patterns) so you can powerfully show up to serve your clients
• how the Records can help you expand your healing business in aligned, ethical, effective ways

I also answer a question posed by my certification student Leah, about how karma works within the context of the Akashic Records. Stay tuned for my answer towards the end of the episode!

Boundaries.

Where are yours? How are you at setting clear boundaries in your life? How comfortable do you feel enforcing them?

This episode will take you into an exploration of boundaries - what they are, what they mean, how they can help you, and why we often have a hard time setting them.

I also talk about the difference between external boundaries (boundaries you set with other people / the world) and internal boundaries (boundaries you set with yourself, internally).

As a companion to this episode, I've created a 60-minute guided healing journey called Healthy Boundaries: Clearing and Claiming Your Space in the World. It will help you clear, reclaim, and set healthier boundaries in 4 spaces you inhabit: your mental space, emotional space, physical body, and physical environment. To access that resource, go here:

In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email about how to heal after experiencing cheating in a relationship. I use this as a jumping-off point to address many different experiences of betrayal - within families, in friendships, in romantic partnerships - and how we can begin to heal the aftereffects of betrayal.

Please be kind and compassionate with yourself as you listen to this episode, and allow yourself to gently feel anything that comes up for you. Please know that healing is always possible.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Amber for writing in and asking this vulnerable question.

Spiritual awakening - and the choice to STAY on the spiritual path - is a transgressive act.

In this episode of Inner Work, we'll explore what it really means to consciously decide to walk the spiritual path and make an unwavering commitment to your own evolution and awakening.

Join me for a discussion of:

• how spiritual awakening can happen (spontaneously through life events or intentionally through spiritual practice)
• the temptation to go back to sleep or back to unconsciousness once we've already awakened
• the daily choice we must make to either remain on the spiritual path, or veer off
• The Truman Show as an artistic/cultural template for the arduous journey of awakening and seeing through the veil of 3D reality
• why and how your spiritual awakening is a transgressive act
• how some of us are here to be spiritual disruptors of the status quo

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 11, is to reflect on this prompt: what do you feel you would GAIN if you lived as your authentic self? How would your life be improved?

This is a love letter to you, my fellow introvert.

I share a recent situation that triggered an old story related to me being an introvert (and feeling weird, different, weak, and abnormal because of it). I also share how I used that situation to release this story and shift to a deeper place of self-love and self-appreciation.

I talk about:

• the triggering event that made me feel weird and abnormal for being introverted
• how I used this situation to grow and understand my needs more clearly
• common needs we have as introverts (that other people might not get)
• building your self-confidence and self-love
• releasing patterns of self-judgment and self-criticism

I hope this is helpful! Remember you're an extraordinary person just as you are, and don't need to change yourself to fit in. Thank you for being here.

This episode is going out to you if you've been feeling lonely, isolated, or disconnected lately. Being human can feel like a lonely experience sometimes, especially if we forget that we're an integral part of this Universe - and that everything is interconnected.

I share my own recent struggles with loneliness and talk about:

• the difficulty of making friends as an adult
• how you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
• how moving, changing schools, changing careers, working from home, and other circumstances can make you feel more isolated 
• how technology has made our lives more convenient but also separated us from each other
• being ok with feelings of loneliness as part of the human experience (and as something that unites us!)

In this new podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives.

We discuss topics such as:

• what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
• the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
• how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others
• how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
• the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker

My guest for this interview is Meaghan Szilagyi, a graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2024.

Meaghan is a Multidimensional Empowerment Coach who supports her clients in reclaiming their power and embodying their highest potential. She blends mindful, strategic, transformational, and visionary coaching styles with her training as an Akashic Records reader to provide a deeply personal coaching experience designed to spark lasting transformation and expansion.

Meaghan's multidimensional approach is rooted in her education and experiences with the Humanities, Massage Therapy, Yoga, Tantra, Psychosynthesis, and more. You can find her online at https://akashaonearth.com and https://instagram.com/meaghan.on.earth

In this interview, you’ll hear Meaghan share in her own words what brought her to the Akashic Records, how the Records have changed her life, what she got out of my Certification Program, and how she is using the Records now in her coaching practice (and in daily life).

This episode of Inner Work addresses some common questions and misconceptions about the Akashic Records.

Specifically, I answer these questions:

• Is there only ONE way, method, or prayer to access the Akashic Records?
• Aren't the Akashic Records a tool of the third dimension?
• Where are the Akashic Records located?
• Why are the Akashic Records accessible to us? What's the ultimate purpose for humanity?
• Can healing happen spontaneously inside the Records?

Empaths are "emotional sponges who absorb both the joy and stress of the world," according to psychologist Dr. Judith Orloff. Growing up as an empath, you may have frequently heard that you needed to "grow a thicker skin," "not take things so personally," and "not be so sensitive." In this episode, I explore life as an empath and how we can nurture our sensitivity to overcome challenges and use our gifts to heal ourselves and others. I also investigate the difference between a highly sensitive person (HSP) and an empath, highlighting the areas where these two categories overlap.

During the episode, I mention Dr. Judith Orloff's book The Empath's Survival Guide. (I highly recommend it if you identify as an empath and have never read it!)

Dr. Elaine Aron's book The Highly Sensitive Person is another great title to add to your reading list. Thank you so much for listening!

This mini episode announces and describes my Akashic Records Certification Program, currently open for enrollment.

In this special episode of TRIGGERED!, I lay out 10 ways to get untriggered - regardless of the specific situation or circumstances. These are tried and tested methods to move through and release a trigger, from the very basic and ancient method of yelling into a pillow to more advanced techniques like doing ego work.

What's your relationship with your body? Are you honoring, caring for, and embracing where your body is right now? Or do you feel at odds with your body, struggling against it, trying to override its needs?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about developing a healthier, more loving, more compassionate relationship with your body - wherever it is right now. This can be challenging when our bodies are sick, uncomfortable, aging, not feeling well, or have undergone some other changes.

Your body is, ultimately, the sacred home for your Soul in this lifetime. The more you can cherish it, the more peace and well-being you'll create in your life.

Join me as I discuss:

• my own recent experience of illness, which inspired this episode
• how to be more comfortable with physical (or emotional) discomfort
• how to do Somatic Tracking to find relief from physical pain, discomfort, or other symptoms
• how to speak to your body in a more nourishing, loving way

Thank you for being here and spending this time with me.

Ever found yourself in a situation where someone tried to tell you how to live your life? Maybe they tried to tell you what you should eat, or what you shouldn't eat, or how you should speak or behave, or how you should raise your kids, or how you should dress. This can bring up all kinds of emotions and feel really triggering.

In this episode, I talk about:

- how to deal with well-intentioned (or not so well-intentioned) people trying to tell you how to live

- the importance of working through our own tendencies to tell others how to live (because we're not perfect either!)

- how to deal with feelings of being judged or criticized

- my personal story with veganism and how this created a rift in my family

- the importance of releasing energetic hooks and cords connecting you to people who've tried to control or manipulate you

- honoring our vulnerability and desire to avoid conflict as highly sensitive people

Join me for the second episode on this two-part series of Tarot for Healing. In this second installment, we explore cards 12-21 of the Major Arcana, The Hanged Man through The World. I also discuss some possibilities for working with powerful combinations of cards for the specific issues, situations, or questions you're dealing with. Thank you so much for listening, and keep doing your inner work!

Before the beginning of your current lifetime, your Soul made some conscious decisions about what you would experience in this life, what would occur, which lessons and challenges you'd face, and who would be involved in those lessons.

All of these decisions and orchestrations are part of your Soul's curriculum - your conscious plan of evolution and expansion for this lifetime.

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about:

• how can we define the concept of Soul's curriculum?
• what are the different levels of your Soul's curriculum?
• how can you gain a better understanding of your own Soul's curriculum... so you can fulfill it?
• the fears that get in the way of shining your light brightly and living out your Soul's curriculum
• the collective curriculum we share as lightworkers to raise consciousness on this planet and assist other humans in their evolution
• (PLUS bonus numerology discussion and how the number 222 is related to your Soul's curriculum at the beginning of this episode!)

As humans, we can take things so personally. Even things that are petty, innocuous, or not personal at all.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I share some ideas for how to begin taking things less personally so you can maintain your inner peace, sanity, and well-being. (And improve your relationships with other humans!)

I also talk about how it's your EGO that takes things personally, gets offended, gets defensive, and wants you to prove you're right. An important antidote to this is to stay aligned, as much as you can, with the perspective and energy of your Higher Self.

Introducing a brand new series on this podcast... EVOLUTION.

Your healing journey is a process of continual, ongoing evolution. Of you becoming more evolved every day. Of you evolving beyond old patterns, habits, dysfunctions, defense mechanisms, belief systems, and self-imposed limitations. Evolving beyond the past. Evolving beyond anything that isn't truthfully YOU, at your highest level.

In this inaugural episode of EVOLUTION, I address the topic of judgment - of both self and others. I talk about:

• how the meaning of the word "judgment" has changed over time
• how judgment is a form of punishment (and self-punishment)
• how we sometimes use judgment to try to feel more powerful, better, smarter, or more capable than others 
• how the impulse to judge arises from a hurt, offended, threatened, or scared ego
• how we've used judgment in human societies to try to bond with others - but why it's not an authentic form of relating

I want to thank Doug for suggesting this topic and being a loyal supporter of Inner Work.

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 5, is to explore: how have you hidden your authentic self in past (or current) romantic relationships? Additional prompts are given in the episode.

Please visit https://josephinehardman.com or send a note to me@josephinehardman.com to connect, share feedback, or let me know how DAY 5 goes for you.

With deep gratitude for your presence, I send you all my love and support as you allow the true You to shine forth.

Before you started waking up, you engaged in some unconscious patterns and habits (we all did!). These might include survival strategies, coping mechanisms, and ego defense patterns you developed to try to protect yourself.

In this episode, we'll cover three of these patterns:

• over-thinking: churning thoughts in your mind over and over, overanalyzing minor details, retreating into your intellect to avoid feeling your feelings, using your mental prowess to feel safe or successful
• second-guessing: doubting your choices and decision-making process, doubting your intuition and gut knowing, fearing you will make a terrible mistake and regret it later
• self-doubt: minimizing your own value and worth, feeling like an impostor or fraud, doubting your abilities and gifts

I will also give you some targeted, hard-hitting questions to become more conscious and begin softening these patterns.

The Akashic Records are a tool for accessing higher guidance and universal wisdom. Since Josephine is a trained Akashic Record reader, she decided to open up the Records and begin asking for specific messages for our listeners and Purefield community. This is the first message (or "Purefield Transmission," to distinguish these episodes from our regular ones). The topics are victimhood and playing small, which are corrosive and addictive tendencies in our human society. Why do we identify with and hold on to victim roles? Why do we relate to others based on misery and lack rather than success and abundance? Why do we re-live the trauma of the past in our daily life experiences? Josephine explores these issues -- and more -- through the infinite wisdom of the Records. 

If you're unfamiliar with the Akashic Records, go here for a detailed explanation.

Go to Purefield Massachusetts to learn more about Josephine's services, or email us at purefield.mass@gmail.com with questions, comments, and responses to the episode. We love hearing from you, and we're so grateful that you're listening!

On the path of awakening, you might be called to begin living in a different or new way. This can happen when you're truly listening to your heart and tuning in to your inner guidance.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener's email about how to begin aligning with the lifestyle and way of living that most resonates with you (and how to release limiting beliefs and fears along the way). 

Join me for a discussion of:

• having the desire to live a peaceful, simpler life where you get to express yourself creatively or live in community with others 
• the importance of clarifying WHERE your desires are coming from, and WHY you're desiring these things
• giving yourself permission to live a life that is right for you
• clearing out internal blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs so you can create your desired lifestyle 
• an introduction to Byron Katie's The Work - you can explore this for yourself here: https://thework.com

I'm so thrilled and humbled by how our podcast community is growing in meaningful ways.

Brilliant musical artist Rajinee Buquing (working under the name sayang) is a long-time listener of this podcast and has created a song inspired by Inner Work. The song is called Inner Work (Intro) + Leftovers.

I want to share this song with you and introduce you to Rajinee -- a deeply thoughtful, talented, lovely person who is daring to be authentically herself in this world, despite the pressures and expectations she has faced to be someone other than who she is. I know you will be moved by her message (and her voice, which is a divine gift!).

I've sometimes heard from people that the Tarot is evil, and that using Tarot cards opens us up to negative forces and energies. I have also met people who are afraid of using the Tarot for these kinds of reasons. Is there any veracity to this?

In this bonus episode of INNER WORK, I address the belief that Tarot cards are evil. Join me for a discussion of:

• religious references and thoughts on Tarot cards & "divination"
• why Tarot cards - and other healing tools & practices - have been condemned throughout history
• powerful ways of using the Tarot that don't involve fortune-telling or divination
• the Doreen Virtue situation (and her ban on Tarot cards)

As always, everything in this episode is my personal opinion.

Your task for today, DAY 14, is to reflect on a quote from the book I Am: Awakening Self-Acceptance by Dr. Emmett Miller (provided in the episode), and to ponder the question: how and where have you twisted or adapted yourself to be someone you think others want you to be, or someone you ought to be?

Episode 48 of Inner Work features a discussion of soul-aligned work: what it is, how we can define it, how you know when you're doing it, and how can you start doing more of it right now. (No matter where you are in terms of your profession or job -- you can begin anywhere!) I also talk about the characteristics of soul-deadening work, which is the opposite of soul-aligned work, and how it drains you and keeps you unfulfilled. Ready to take the plunge and shift from an old paradigm of "hard work" and "paying your dues" to a new paradigm of "soul-aligned work" and doing what sets your soul on fire? Then join me for this conversation!

To celebrate Inner Work's 100th episode, join me for an interactive gratitude experience. This episode is ALL about gratitude and giving thanks!

We'll do a guided meditation together to tune into your heart and cultivate loving-kindness within your whole body and outwardly towards your home, community, and the world.

I'll also give you a set of 7 journaling prompts to go deeper into your gratitude practice (or start one!), as well as 3 gratitude challenges for which you can take action starting today.

The goal of this episode is to move all aspects of yourself - your mind, body, and spirit - towards the expansive experience of feeling gratitude. As Rumi says, we must wear gratitude "like a warm cloak", for it will fill our lives with warmth, resilience, and peace.

THANK YOU so much to every single listener who has tuned in on a monthly basis, left a rating or review, subscribed to the podcast, and/or recommended the podcast to a good friend. Your presence means the world to me.

When you tap into the superconscious realms, you gain access to higher thought forms, higher vibrations, flashes of intuition, wisdom, healing, and Divine inspiration.

In this two-part series of Inner Work, we'll explore what the superconscious really is and how we can benefit by growing our capacity to tap into this higher field of consciousness.

Tune in for a discussion on:

• what is the superconscious?
• what are the different ways of accessing the superconscious realms?
• what keeps us from being able to tap into the superconscious?
• how does it benefit us to tap into the superconscious?
• how is the superconscious realm similar to the Akashic field?
• 13 characteristics of genuinely connecting to the superconscious field (based on the writings of psychospiritual teacher Roberto Assagioli)
• potential pitfalls and challenges of accessing deeper levels of superconsciousness (and how to navigate them safely and responsibly)

Throughout this episode, I refer to the book Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis (collected writings of Roberto Assagioli).

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It matters!

• how can we access them?

• what light and energy beings work within the Akashic Records?

Ideally, on the spiritual path we use our triggers and challenges as opportunities to become more conscious and awake. This brand new series, AWAKENING, is our next adventure - and evolution - following my TRIGGERED! series. 

Awakening is a continuous, ever-unfolding process and not something we can force, rush, or put on any specific timeline. With this series, we'll continue exploring some of our triggers and challenges while also delving into key spiritual concepts and practices that can help us move through those challenges.

This inaugural episode focuses on SURRENDER:

• what does surrender really mean, and how can we practice it?
• how surrender can liberate you from anxiety, ego attachments, codependence, and the tendency to control your life and the lives of others
• 3 specific examples of surrender from my own life (in career, friendships, and health)
• surrender as a practice of making friends with WHAT IS and becoming free of resistance

Do you ever feel drained, exhausted, ill, angry, or depressed after interacting with a particular person? You might be dealing with an energy vampire, or a person who is psychically infiltrating and draining your energy field and life force. Join me for this illuminating conversation on energy vampirism! We'll cover:

• What is an energy vampire?
• Signs & symptoms of being drained by an energy vampire
• The 4 most common kinds of energy vampires
• Psychic self-defense & protection strategies to safeguard your well-being, health, and sanity -- no matter where you are or who you're dealing with.

Thank you so much for listening and for co-creating a more awakened reality with me!

The world is kind of nutty right now.

We're often seeing chaos, conflict, and confusion out in the world and sometimes even in our own homes, workplaces, and schools.

Therefore, diligence, practice, persistence, and dedication are required to maintain your frequency, vibration, and thought patterns at a high level of Truth and clear knowing... a deep EMBODIED knowing that abundance is indeed all around you and within you at all times. Nothing can separate you from that abundance or take it away from you. You're far more powerful than you sometimes remember or give yourself credit for.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I walk you through 8 daily spiritual reminders that will help you stay aligned with Higher Truth and maintain a high-level frequency in your body, mind, and energy field. Regardless of what's going on around you.

The 8 daily reminders will support you in:

• honoring and living up to your commitment to walk the spiritual path
• living in integrity with your Soul and with the Universe
• flowing with universal forces and with whatever is arising in your life (instead of trying to resist it)
• remaining anchored in the truth that you are a Divine being having a human experience.

My intention is for these 8 daily reminders to serve as spiritual scaffolding for you, every day, as often as you need them.

They will help you remember the Truth of who and what you are, and what you're capable of in this lifetime.

Your physical body is like a container for your Soul and Higher Self. But what happens when you've filled up this container with too many intrusive "guests", and your Higher Self is unable to anchor into your body? Why is it important to be able to fully embody your Higher Self? That's what we'll explore in this episode of AWAKENING.

Some of the intrusive or unwelcome guests that can occupy your body and energy field include the Overachiever, the Fixer, the Victim, and the Approval Seeker.

These are subpersonalities, or limited aspects of you that can get triggered by certain situations and people. Join me for a conversation on:

• the 6 most common subpersonalities that block your Higher Self and sabotage your healing
• how to begin noticing what you're allowing to take up residence within you
• the importance of recognizing the opposing agendas of your subpersonalities, so you can resolve inner conflict
• how to make more room for your Higher Self to enter

Episode 35 features Inner Work's inaugural Question & Answer Segment. In this episode, I answer listeners' questions about soul contracts and intuition. Specifically, I cover the two types of soul contracts, why and how we make them, how they interfere with our growth and healing in the present moment, and how we can begin to release them. I also offer tips for sharpening and developing your intuition and intuitive senses. Join me! If you'd like to have your own questions answered in a future episode, feel free to send them directly to purefieldhealing@gmail.com - I look forward to receiving and exploring them. Thank you so much for listening!

Resources mentioned during the episode:

Penney Peirce's The Intuitive Way

Many of you were moved by my recent episode titled "You're not broken (and don't need to be fixed)." I wanted to offer a continuation on that theme, so here we are: if you're not broken... all you need to heal is your perception.

In other words, all you need to heal is a perception of yourself as flawed, unworthy, damaged, broken, or not good enough. These are false ideas you've picked up along the road of life... but they are NOT the truth about you.

Once you correct your perception and begin to see (and feel) things clearly again, you realize you have always been worthy. And nothing from your past or present has ever taken away your worthiness or made you less lovable.

In this episode, I also talk about the importance of doing your inner work from a place of peace, self-love, and self-compassion... NOT from a frantic place of trying to fix or heal yourself.

Are you trying to prove your generosity, worth, value, intelligence, or integrity to the wrong people? To people who will never really get it?

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about this insidious pattern of trying to prove yourself to everyone -- even people who will never appreciate or be able to receive what you're trying to give (or who you are as a person).

I share a story from my own life of trying to prove myself to the wrong people, including family members and potential clients. I also walk you through a series of powerful prompts for self-reflection, so you can identify where and how you've been trying to prove yourself to the wrong people... and how to stop!

Special acknowledgment: Thank you to Gigi for being so wise and bringing so much clarity to this topic in my life.

Feeling criticized or called out on something can feel so uncomfortable. So triggering! This episode investigates what happens to us when someone tries to prove us "wrong" - whether they're responding to something we've created, something we've said or done, or a personal opinion.

I offer two specific, grounding questions to stay as centered as you can and evaluate the criticism you receive as peacefully and openly as possible. I also touch on cases or situations where it might be ok to evalute that criticism critically and detach from it if it's coming from a hostile or close-minded place.

An important point of this episode is that being called out on something - or when someone tries to prove you wrong - can be an excellent opportunity for growth, learning, and examining your own beliefs.

Do you have a hard time trusting the good in your life? Or trusting that life CAN be good? Or trusting that good things can last? This is the episode for you.

As you begin creating a more aligned, joyful life on your path of awakening, you might get tripped up if a part of you feels unworthy of goodness. Unworthy of expansion and freedom. Or if a part of you is skeptical about good things lasting, and is still expecting for the other shoe to drop.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore what could be behind that skepticism or difficulty trusting the good. I've included some affirmations to support you in trusting yourself and in your ability to create and sustain good things in your life.

My special guest for this episode is Josephine Carmela, an award-winning, transformational Empowerment & Relationship Mentor. For the past 12 years, she’s been helping heart-based entrepreneurs, coaches, and healers achieve breakthroughs to experience healthier love, harmony, and fulfillment.

Josephine is a Mind/Body Therapeutic coach, certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy™ Practitioner, and Relationship Mentor. She follows principles of somatic psychology for a “body-mind-spirit-emotion” holistic approach to enable transformation for her clients, drawing on her training in multiple disciplines including Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Dance Movement Therapy, Body Mind Centering, Kinetic Awareness, and Relational modalities. 

In 2016, she co-authored a book with New York Times Bestselling Authors Marci Shimoff, Chris and Janet Attwood, and appears in the Living Legacy Project honoring exceptional Canadian women. She is also the founder of AlignedFEMME which helps women embody conscious communication, emotional resilience, and empowered masculine/feminine dynamics. Josephine is on a mission to help women create healthier SELF-love and relationships that work. 

In this conversation, we touch on:

• how women are conditioned to give their power away (and what that often looks like)
• common patterns of undervaluing, minimizing, and shrinking ourselves to please others or avoid conflict
• how we can lose our sense of identity in relationships, and how to begin getting back in touch with your true self, your needs, and your desires
• what "owning and speaking your SACRED YES" really means

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

This episode of INNER WORK will support you in upleveling and refining your Akashic Record readings, as a practitioner.

Join me for a discussion of:

• key differences between "information dump" readings and genuinely transformative, co-creative Akashic Record readings
• why "information dump" readings can overwhelm or paralyze clients (in addition to making our work as healers/readers unnecessarily draining!)
• raising the standards for how we do spiritual work and show up for our clients
• how to support your clients (and yourself) in creating lasting breakthroughs, insights, and healing through the Akashic Records
• the importance of evolving your readings from a purely cognitive level of insight into other levels of healing and transformation
• the multiple layers of listening we must harness to be highly effective Akashic Record practitioners

Are you looking for answers outside yourself? Believing others know best or that your own inner knowing isn't enough? 

Perhaps you're overly focused on others' opinions and ideas about what you should do or how you should live your life. Or feeling like you can't make decisions without asking for lots of input from others.

Sometimes, we turn to spiritual tools or modalities to try to get answers to our most pressing questions, and to help us make decisions. This is a wonderful thing to do, and we must also be mindful of not giving our power away to these tools or modalities.

In this episode, I address this pattern of looking for answers outside of ourselves, how to identify if you're doing that in your life, and how to begin trusting yourself more.

When you tap into the superconscious realms, you gain access to higher thought forms, higher vibrations, flashes of intuition, wisdom, healing, and Divine inspiration.

In this two-part series of Inner Work, we'll explore what the superconscious really is and how we can benefit by growing our capacity to tap into this higher field of consciousness.

Tune in as we complete our discussion of:

• what is the superconscious?
• what are the different ways of accessing the superconscious realms?
• what keeps us from being able to tap into the superconscious?
• how does it benefit us to tap into the superconscious?
• how is the superconscious realm similar to the Akashic field?
• 13 characteristics of genuinely connecting to the superconscious field (based on the writings of psychospiritual teacher Roberto Assagioli)
• potential pitfalls and challenges of accessing deeper levels of superconsciousness (and how to navigate them safely and responsibly)

Throughout this episode, I refer to the book Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis (collected writings of Roberto Assagioli).

• signs & symptoms that social media is draining your energy

Are you allowing the past to define you? Are you still living an identity that was created long ago, and that no longer reflects who you really are... or who you are meant to be in this lifetime?

This episode of AWAKENING is all about coming to terms with and releasing the past, so you can create a new identity from an empowered, conscious, awakened place within yourself. 

I talk about how we unconsciously develop constricting, unhelpful, limited identities based on past experiences, and share a personal story to illustrate this. We'll then move into some powerful exercises to release limiting belief systems, behaviors, and energetic cords keeping you tethered to this old identity.

The ego's primary agenda is to make sure you're keeping up appearances, looking good to others, being accepted, and maintaining the status quo. Therefore, the ego is constantly on the lookout for anything that might threaten your sense of identity.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• what is the ego?
• the mechanisms the ego uses to try to maintain the status quo and avoid risk & discomfort
• some of the common lies and illusions your ego might tell you
• how the ego causes suffering
• how to help yourself transcend your ego - or at least shift your relationship to it

This episode is a response to a listener email asking: "am I still healing and growing spiritually even during periods of stasis, where nothing much seems to be happening?"

We'll explore what stasis could mean in the context of spiritual healing and growth, and how you can make the most of any periods of relative calm or quiet in your life.

Some of the main takeaways from this episode include:

• why it's impossible to go back to sleep once you have awakened - even though we often try to
• although stasis can mean stagnation, it can also mean equilibrium - so a period of stasis could be a period of arriving into greater balance within yourself
• why things are still shifting even when you can't perceive the changes yet
• letting go of the attachment to growing through pain or suffering

We're in the midst of an unprecedented, uncertain, and very destabilizing global health crisis. What can the Tarot cards teach us about this situation? What can we learn, collectively and individually? And how can we stay grounded, rooted, and empowered even as the world seems to spin out of control? I'll be answering these questions in today's episode of Inner Work.

I also offer 3 of my favorite grounding strategies to help soothe your nervous system, get re-centered, and feel SAFE in your body and in the world.

Walking the path of spiritual awakening can be a lonely experience at times. As you wake up more and more, you might find you're no longer resonating with many (or most) of the people in your life. And it can be difficult to explain what you're going through.

This episode of AWAKENING explores the loneliness of awakening. Join me for a conversation on:

• spiritual awakening and your ego identity
• what it means to experience ego death (and why it can feel so terrifying)
• living life asleep versus living life awake - and why you can't go back now
• the importance of mourning your old self 
• how to allow and create new, more meaningful, more aligned relationships in your life

Please know that you're not alone. Thank you for being here and supporting the podcast by leaving a positive rating or review, if this episode felt helpful in some way.

In response to a listener question, this episode explores what happens when you're trying to manifest something and it just isn't showing up in your life (or isn't manifesting quickly enough). This can give rise to feelings of worry, fear, urgency, frustration, and hopelessness. I talk about what to do with those feelings and also cover these topics:

- what "surrendering" really means

- a common trap or misconception in the law of attraction

- how you can manifest what you want even with some fear or doubt

- how to adopt an attitude of empowered surrendering

- a specific practice to shift from an attitude of grasping to an attitude of surrender & receptivity

Guilt can often show up when you begin setting firmer boundaries, taking care of yourself, and honoring your needs. Especially if you've spent years as a people-pleaser, saying YES to everything and everyone and putting yourself last.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to deal with feelings of guilt that might come up when you set boundaries and follow your truth. Thank you to Sofia for writing in!

This then dovetails into a discussion of getting clear on your Divine Standards - these are your highest intentions for how you want to live and how you want to BE in the world from this day forward. I'll explain how you can create your own Divine Standards and share some examples to get you started.

On the path of awakening, you can sometimes feel stuck in survival mode. You might use this mode as a coping mechanism, if you learned early on in life that you need to be tough, to put up with things, and to survive.

In this episode, I answer a listener's email about how to emerge out of survival mode and begin thriving. Join me for a discussion on:

• how there's absolutely NOTHING you need to just tolerate or put up with
• how survival mode keeps you stuck in your reptilian brain, unable to make creative and empowered choices for yourself
• the importance of resolving childhood trauma to emerge out of survival mode and feel safe
• how to start "breaking the habit of being yourself" (in the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza)

Throughout this episode, I recommend these important books:

Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine

Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

Over the years, I've worked with many healers, coaches, practitioners, and service-based providers in the healing, therapeutic, and spiritual industries who were struggling with similar problems -- especially compassion fatigue and burnout.

This episode is an exploration of how to avoid burning out while still offering the highest-quality, most compassionate, most powerful healing work to your clients and the people you're here to serve. (While being nourished by the work in return!)

Join me for a discussion of:

• why healers and holistic practitioners are prone to burnout and compassion fatigue
• one of the major causes of burnout (and how to avoid it)
• how you can support yourself in remaining grounded, stable, and emotionally regulated while working with clients
• 5 common misconceptions about our ROLE as healers that can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and resentment -- I'll walk you through a powerful reframe for each one
• the importance of being extremely clear about the SCOPE of your role as a practitioner

This episode of INNER WORK is all about claiming your spiritual and divine gifts, stepping into your authentic self fully, and aligning with the sacred service you're here to offer humanity.

You have a unique and important role to play in humanity's evolution, and you have gifts that can assist other humans in becoming freer and more conscious beings.

So what are those gifts you carry within you, what are some deeper layers of those gifts, and how can you begin claiming your inner power fully?

If you feel deep in your Soul that you're here to be of service in a meaningful way, join me as we explore these questions... and more.

Thank you for being willing to step into the sacred work you're here to do. No one else can do it YOUR way, so your presence is absolutely essential.

Aaah, the holidays... a magical time of gathering with loved ones and celebrating our blessings. That is, ideally! 

For many people, the holidays can be a lot more stressful, draining, or anxiety-inducing than the picture-perfect image of a loving family gathered around a fancy table. The holidays - whichever ones you choose to celebrate - can bring up mixed emotions or fill you with anticipatory dread, worry, and stress.

In this special holiday edition of TRIGGERED!, I talk about:

- the importance of breaking with old traditions that feel draining, confining, or dysfunctional

- creating your own traditions that feel more aligned and peaceful

- reinforcing boundaries with family members during the holidays

- liberating yourself from burdensome family expectations and using the holidays as an opportunity to practice saying NO

- ways to protect yourself energetically & physically if you choose to gather with family

You might find this resource helpful if you do get triggered at some point during the holidays. I created a guide on 10 Ways to Get Untriggered Quickly, which you can download here:

Are you carrying a mindset of scarcity, lack, or unworthiness when it comes to money? Fear of not having enough or losing what you do have? If yes, it's possible these patterns, emotions, and beliefs regarding money were passed down to you through your family line.

Join me for another episode of INNER WORK where we explore the influence and repercussions of ancestral contracts, patterns, and burdens in our lives. Focusing on inherited beliefs and emotions around money and abundance, I share a case study in ancestral contracts from my own family.

Being in a human, physical body can be very triggering at times. It can feel dense, unsafe, or uncomfortable to be in a body. This sometimes leads us to try to escape the body through coping mechanisms like overeating, undereating, drinking too much, checking out from reality, or spiritual bypassing.

It can also feel unsafe to be in your body if you've experienced trauma of any kind in this lifetime. In this episode, I address a few different forms of trauma you might have experienced that could still be affecting your ability to feel grounded and embodied. I also offer two practices to begin healing your relationship to your body.

Being in a one-sided friendship can be triggering (and exhausting!). This episode responds to a listener email by exploring what happens when you give your full support and attention to a friend, but they don't give you a reciprocal exchange of energy and presence. Our listener was triggered, specifically, when a friend would multitask, check their phone, or otherwise get distracted during their interactions (particularly when it was time for our listener to share and be heard).

In the episode, I also talk about:

• how being highly sensitive can make us feel more upset or rejected when friends don't seem to be fully present with us
• the importance of speaking up for your needs in friendships & relationships (and how to do so)
• the valuable lesson of releasing one-sided friendships
• my own recent experience of having to let a friendship go

In this special episode, I introduce you to the Akashic Records - what they are, how they work, and how we can use them to heal ourselves and transcend ego patterns.

I was first introduced to the Akashic Records as a teenager by my mom (a therapist and healer), and have been working with them on a daily basis for most of my adult life. I became certified as an Akashic Records Practitioner and started giving readings to others in 2012, and have since developed a unique curriculum for my own Akashic Records Certification Program.

In my time using the Records - both for my personal healing and to assist others with their evolution - I've been delighted, awed, deeply moved, transformed, and continually fascinated by their power, benevolence, and wisdom.

In this episode, I invite you to learn more about the Akashic field and how tapping into this field we call "the Records" can help you awaken and become who you REALLY are.

As a companion resource for this episode, I've created a guided healing journey into the Akashic Records. I'll guide you into a meditative, receptive state and we will open your Records together. You'll have a chance to ask a specific question (or focus on an issue you want to shift) and receive healing on all levels - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical.

This episode of INNER WORK is about the spiritual, life-changing practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- in any situation.

This is a practice I teach in many of my programs, because it's so powerful at cutting through the inner and outer noise that we sometimes get bogged down in.

Previously on this podcast, I've talked about the LIES and illusions we often buy into as humans. The lies and illusions of the 3D human dimension, which are also sometimes the illusions we inherit through our human family lineage and also through the collective consciousness of this particular planet, and of the society and culture we each grow up in.

The practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- which requires active work on our part -- is about seeing those illusions for what they are, shattering them, and re-aligning ourselves with Divine Knowing.

In this episode, I explain how to work with this practice and walk you through a series of potent examples of Higher Truth (while helping you connect fully to that Truth, if it resonates with you).

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 18, is to consider this quote from Carl Jung: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Please also sit down and make a list of your spiritual tasks for this lifetime (more instructions in the episode).

Back in college, I was diagnosed with both generalized anxiety and social anxiety. For a few years, I also suffered from telephobia - the fear of speaking on the telephone.

Join me for this episode of TRIGGERED! to explore:

• what are the emotional and psychological symptoms of social anxiety?
• what are the consequences and implications of living with social anxiety?
• the main approaches and insights that helped me overcome the symptoms of social anxiety
• social anxiety from a spiritual perspective
• how social anxiety might be part of the experience of being an interplanetary soul

What is emotional labor? How do you know when you're doing it? And what are the costs and consequences associated with that labor?

Join me for an in-depth exploration of emotional labor, what it is, and how to recognize when you're doing it (and why you're doing it). In this episode, I offer specific examples of emotional labor across three spaces: at home, in relationships, and in your work as a healer or service-based provider.

As healers, we must engage in particular kinds of emotional labor when we work with clients individually or in group settings. As we run through the different types of emotional labor you might be doing in your life and work, I invite you to notice which of these you tend to engage in the most... and which are most draining for you. What kind of emotional labor are you doing simply out of a sense of obligation, family expectations, or social conditioning? Are you doing emotional labor to please others or avoid conflict? If so, how can you shift that pattern?

In this episode, I announced my Akashic Records Level 1 Training Course. You can explore that here:

Although you are primarily an Infinite Being of Light, you're also incarnated into a physical, human body. On the 3D human plane, money is a necessary currency - to keep yourself alive, to feed yourself, to shelter yourself, to make things happen in the world.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to shift into a mindset of abundance, create a healthy relationship with money, and forgive ourselves for any past financial mistakes or missteps.

I also address why it's best not to demonize money or see it as evil. Ultimately, it's not money that corrupts us. What can corrupt us is an unchecked ego, which seeks to accumulate more and more and constantly fears lack or tries to assert its power over others.

In this episode of Inner Work, I share my own story and struggles as a recovering perfectionist. I also define what perfectionism actually is, the different ways in which we use it to protect ourselves, and how we can begin to overcome our stress-inducing perfectionist tendencies. I share some wisdom from author and teacher Brene Brown and from my favorite spiritual text, A Course in Miracles. Join me for this discussion on how to become beautifully imperfect!

Thank you for listening and for doing your inner work.

Welcome to the second installment of my series on the Tarot Pentacles.

• the 5 of Pentacles and how to walk through a dark night of the Soul
• the 6 of Pentacles as a return to harmony, shared abundance, and divine order

And more!

Perfectionism and hypervigilance are often maladaptive ways in which we've learned to stay safe in the world (or to at least try to stay safe). They're also patterns that we sometimes acquire in response to trauma, and to prevent a similar trauma or hurtful experience from happening again.

The problem with these patterns is that they keep you so limited, living a tightly controlled life as you try to do everything perfectly - to BE perfect - and avoid making any mistakes.

Some of the core symptoms of being stuck in perfectionism and hypervigilance include:

• difficulty settling down after activity and fully relaxing (especially if the activity is stressful or highly stimulating)
• feeling creatively drained or blocked ("if it's not going to be perfect, I'm not even gonna try" syndrome)
• constantly bracing yourself for the other shoe to drop
• being stuck in hyper-activity, hyper-productivity, and ruminating thoughts
• harsh inner critic and constant self-evaluation (and paralyzing fear of others' criticism!)
• feeling constantly rushed and like there's not enough time in the day

In this episode, I introduce my brand new course 21 Days to Heal Perfectionism & Hypervigilance and lay out the 3 most important steps in releasing these patterns so you can reclaim your creativity, peace, freedom, and sense of well-being in the world.

You're a weirdo. I'm a weirdo too. Our weirdness is our power. 

In this episode, I talk about how it feels to be an interplanetary soul and to experience the loneliness that often comes along with it.

I created this podcast for you if:

• you often feel like you don't quite belong on Earth
• you often feel "homesick" or like planet Earth is not your home base
• you're confused or baffled by how humans do things (especially politics, money, relationships, living in linear time)
• you grew up feeling like a weirdo or outcast, even within your own family, peer group, or hometown
• you're a highly sensitive, empathic Soul

Thank you for being here and spending this time with me. I appreciate you beyond measure. You're not alone. And the world needs your uniqueness!

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 2, is to reflect on this prompt (and additional questions from the episode): What does being inauthentic mean to you? What are the physical sensations and emotions that arise within you when you're being inauthentic?

"Addictions always originate in pain, whether felt openly or hidden in the unconscious." - Dr. Gabor Mate

This episode of TRIGGERED! takes on the topic of addictive behaviors through my own personal experience with food and sugar addiction. Join me for a discussion of:

- what fuels us to engage in addictive behaviors even when we know they're harming us

- the importance of not making an addiction or addictive substance the enemy

- how the addictive cycle keeps us stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking and robs us of peace, vitality, and energy

- softening addictive tendencies by understanding WHY and HOW you've used them as a coping mechanism or as a response to trauma

- for sugar addiction in particular, the importance of cultivating more "sweetness" and self-compassion in your daily life

I mention a number of resources throughout the episode. Please explore these based on your own needs and interests:

Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?

In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.

I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:

Embracing Your Inner Critic

The Self-Acceptance Project

In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

Episode 49 of Inner Work deals with a touchy subject: how to be spiritual when your family isn't. How can you explain your spirituality to your family? Should you even try? Do you have to share your spiritual path with them? How can you deal with family members who are resistant, close-minded, or who shame or mock your spirituality? I share my favorite tips and strategies for navigating this tricky subject!

Mariana Louis is a tarot reader, scholar, and writer from New York City. She is the creator of Persephone's Sister, a platform for spiritual education and magical guidance that blends depth psychology, sacred feminism, and witchcraft. She works both with one-on-one clients as an intuitive reader and leads community seminars and circles for soulful deepening and learning. Mariana loves the poetry of Rilke, the music of Hildegard von Bingen, and the sweetness of her husband and kitty familiars.

In this interview, we talk about:

- how Jung's work can help you explore undiscovered aspects of yourself

- the tarot as a tool to reconnect with the God/Goddess within

- integrating the divine & the mundane in your daily life

- how to recognize when you're disconnected from the energy of the sacred feminine (and steps to reawaken that connection)

- clearing up misconceptions about shadow work and doing it responsibly and ethically

This episode of TRIGGERED! is about what happens to us when a relationship ends. I focus on romantic and intimate relationships - whether in-person, long-distance, short, long, a marriage, a domestic union, or any other kind of significant relationship.

I offer specific suggestions and practices to support you as you navigate a break-up, separation, or divorce and find yourself again. 

The most important takeaway from this episode is that feelings of loss, fear, anger, or grief are natural in the healing process. I hope you will allow yourself to move through them for as long as you need.
