The stigma of aging as being a negative thing in our society still has a grip on our consciousness. There's powerful media messaging to "fight" against the clock. There's negative comments from most people displeased with their appearance or lack of ability or health as we grow older. And there's a multi-billion dollar industry that feeds off of those that are faced with traditional symptoms of aging.

My guest today, Dr. Ellen Albertson, a psychologist, registered dietician, health and wellness coach and author, has been working to help change the negative beliefs with self-compassion and practical tools to not only embrace aging, but to thrive during our later years.

Here you'll find two middle aged women discussing the struggles and the strengths of growing older, of stepping into your authenticity, and the real challenges for those who are stuck trying to be something they are not or fight the inner demons of their past.

We talk food, movement, mindfulness, compassion, the inner critic, and personal stories of struggles in the reframing of that important question of what makes up our worth, our joy and our passion.

An important conversation with one of today's prominent thought leaders, authors and teachers on the Jungian theory of the shadow self work that has penetrated the work of most psychologists and self-healers - Dr. Connie Zweig.

Here we discuss what the shadow is, how it presents itself, and how to work with the shadow (and name it) so we can choose more consciously. 

We also discuss Dr. Connie's latest work, The Inner Work of Age, Shifting from Role to Soul and how to transition out of the ego state into the elder state. The "inner-ageist" as named by Dr. Connie, is an important shadow part of the collective that has shaped the stigma of how we identify with ourselves, and aging. 

Dr. Connie has retired from clinical practice. She has been initiated into Elderhood as a Certified Sage-ing Leader.

She is extending her work into late life for Baby Boomers with The Reinvention of Age: Mastering Late Life from the Inside Out (2019)

As co-author of Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature and Romancing the Shadow: Illuminating the Dark Side of the Soul, and author of Meeting the Shadow of Spirituality, Dr. Connie has come to be known as a guide who can go where others fear to tread. Now she will explore how to cross the threshold from role to soul.

You can find more about Dr. Connie and her latest book on her website.

This podcast marks the 1 Year Anniversary of our launch! I'm so grateful for you, the listeners, and for the fabulous line-up of guests I've been able to speak with and share their wisdom. 

As I gear up for Season 2, beginning in April 2022, take some time to play-back any episodes you have missed, and please let me know which have been your favorites!

This episode is about learning to meet our emotional needs, and how to tell the difference between a need and a want. When we are living from the place of need we are often driven by fear and living from the ego state. This fear suggests we are not enough and do not have enough and we project the fear onto others in attempts to have them satisfy our "needs." 

The truth is we can learn to satisfy our needs with the understanding that those feelings of scarcity are mostly due to not getting our emotional needs met when we are children. We are adults now and part of our self-care is learning to satisfy those needs so that we can show up in the world from a place of desire. 

When we are living from desire, we are resonating a much higher frequency and  able to manifest what we are looking for: love, connection, vibrancy, joy and peace. Living from desire means we can stop expecting others to satisfy the places within that are afraid and honor us with their own contribution of time, affection and attention. This is the intention of a healthy and secure relationship.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Modern Sage Podcast! We are so eager to share more insights, inspiration and healing with you in vulnerable and real conversation.

If you are interested in Inner Child healing, Leah's latest book Overcoming Toxic Emotions encourages this healing, and there is also options for one-on-one intensive inner child healing.

Have you ever asked God to send you a sign? Do you have concern if you are living in the will of Spirit? Does is sometimes seem that God isn't hearing your prayers, or you don't know what to pray? Is your intuition just your own desire or actually a nudge from Spirit?

Today's podcast is a conversation with Rev. Dr. David Chotka, interfaith minister, international speaker and founder of Spirit Equip. This conversation is non-denomination.

As Rev. Dr. Chotka suggests, God speaks non-verbally through the increase and diminishing of His presence - and we can learn to discern the voice of God and the highest and best path for our lives by the way we experience peace and joy in our physical bodies, minds and "gut feelings."

"God is light, and in him there is no darkness."
Living "in the light" is the way to peace and happiness, and when we are not experiencing these feelings or knowings, called interior consolation vs.  desolation. Distraction, bad feelings, lower vibrational emotions like boredom, despair and aloneness as taught by the Ignation Spirituality.

When we're in the middle of consolation, you experience peace, joy and light.

Take a listen, practice the journaling exercise and see if you can find peace and consolation and joy/peace in your life.

When you're being guided by God, you are promised the peace that passeth understanding. Be well!

Is it possible for people to change?

Intuitive healer, spiritual teacher and author Leah Guy shares a perspective on healing that includes the understanding that change is possible and steps to actually make change work positively in your life.

However, we must come to the place to release the blame of others, and take the responsibility for how we actually feel.

Healing takes effort, and it is a process, but it is totally possible.
Intention, discipline and commitment are part of the recipe to make great changes in our lives.

We are often in a state a judgment, discernment, comparison of others to ourselves and to others, and frequently we get caught trying to fix others, or make others change.

The power starts within.

It's important to understand the "why" we feel or behave the way that we do, but as far as healing goes in our personal life, we seek the "way", not the "why."  We change our focus off of the other and putting the focus on the reality of how one's own state of being.

We go from "He hurt me" to "I am hurting."

Acknowledge, acceptance and action. These steps are outlined in Leah's latest book, Overcoming Toxic Emotions, A Practical Guide to Building Better Relationships with Others and Yourself, and are discussed in this podcast as the path to making shifts in our lives that last.

This episode is meant to inspire and illicit personal reflection of how we can allow discomfort in our lives for the purpose of emotional healing growth and mindset expansion to reach our higher selves.

When thinking about discomfort we might think of taking risks, making change, fear of the unknown, not trusting our intuition, or an intentional and spiritual practice of choosing a bit of discomfort as a way to keep us present and aware of our choices in the now.

Leah talks with her intern Natalie about what it means to feel comfort and how that potentially holds us back in our personal development and ways we can shift our thinking to allow trust in ourselves and God or the universe to support us in uneasy times.

Leaky Gut syndrome - is it real and what symptoms or disease does it cause?

David is a living example of a person who has restored his health after discovering his leaky gut. As we'll learn, leaky gut can cause many diseases and health issues, and for David it began to affect his entire body with inflammation, cancer, colitis, arthritis and other areas of his body.

Many people don't realize the impact sugar, processed foods and carbs have on our health long-term, and how food sensitivities affect our mood, physical and emotional health.

How to get along with anyone using the five elements of ancient teachings with Dr. Vicki Matthews. If you have any difficult relationships, this information could be life changing. The conversation with Dr. Vicki and Leah, Author of Overcoming Toxic Emotions; A Practical Guide to Building Better Relationships with Yourself and Others.

Vicki introduces us to her groundbreaking work in her role of a relationship coach, using the traditional model of the Five Elements. Like any useable model, the Five Elements model from Chinese medicine takes a grandiose idea and reduces it to a simple design. At its core, the Five Elements model is used to describe phases and interactions found in the natural world. The phases are represented by Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal and can be used to describe anything in the world, including people. Actually, they are especially useful when describing people.

We each have the energy of all five elements in our wiring, but based on that wiring, we’ll have a natural affinity for one of the elements. It’s like we’re born into a secret club and our club membership affects everything in our life: the colors we like, the foods we crave, the roles we take on in life, and how we relate to each other. Yes, it’s that significant!

Dr. Vicki Matthews is an author, teacher, and naturopathic physician passionate about re-establishing balance at all levels of life. She has been an outspoken advocate for alternative healing and spiritual pursuits most of her adult life and has appeared as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show twice to share aspects of this message. She is also the author of the award-winning novel, The Goddess Letters, which addresses cultural imbalances in our world.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs...do this, don't do this, can't you read the sign?

Many of us seek signs from God, the Universe and beyond to help us make decisions. To guide us in our days and give clarity. But there's often so much in the way that keep us from recognizing the signs that are there for us every single day.

I'd like to share a personal story about my accident last week, and the abruptness it created in my mind and heart.

We are often given subtle and dramatic signs, sometimes that feel wonderful and encouraging, and sometimes with some of life's "medicine" to reach our soul. This medicine is often of healing, teaching, guidance and deeper work that sometimes doesn't feel so wanted.

Some of the lessons I learned from my accident and the very impactful experience:

*Be gentle with yourself and others
*Love is the power that breaks through our own and others inner demons and blockages that help us connection
* Not just to listen, but to follow, my intuition
*Follow and heed the messages of the spirit world, animal totems, numerology and how it supports your life and reminds you of your strengths and places we need to strengthen
*Signs don't always come in the way we want or expect, but important nontheless

We've heard about sound healing with Tibetan bowls, tuning forks, and Chakra bowls, but today we are discussing the power of New Age music when listened to intentionally with producer and artist David Vito Gregoli. And you will hear here, some of Vito's soundbites from his latest work. 

What is New Age music? It's a tremendously large sector of music often used in yoga classes, massage and spas, but the unique quality of New Age is that it speaks to your heart and brings you to a state of internal awareness. 

This is music that doesn't tell you how to feel, but allows you to feel what you feel.

Many people think New Age is limiting to those who only practice alternative therapies or traditions, but this is a new kind of love song. World influence, chanting, ambient, flowing, dramatic and healing would be words that come to mind in describing this beautiful genre.

Vito's musical journey began in Pop, Rock and Blues. By the time he was in his teens, he was already hailed as a guitar virtuoso and working regularly in the L.A. club scene. He later studied classical music and received a Bachelors in Music from CSUN. Vito’s latest release is with 2x Grammy winner and environmentalist Ricky Kej. “Wild Monsoon” drops in June 2022. It’s a eclectic blend of World Beat and New Age.

Ricky and Vito paired last on Vito’s “Om Land” album.

Vito brings integrity and unique artistry to music that defies pigeon-holes. "I have the ability to hear something in everything I can see round the bend when someone plays me an idea. That inspires me in the job of Producer." For more of Vito's work, go here.

Medium and mindfulness expert, Alaine Portner, and intuitive healer Leah Guy share an intriguing discussion about mediumship and if there is life after death.

When people whom we love transition out of their human bodies, of course we experience great loss and sadness. However, as Alaine and Leah share, there is still connection available as our loved ones watch and  engage with us from their dimension.

Alaine has done thousands of readings for people, both helping them process grief as well as gain connection and clarity so they can continue in their lives without guilt, shame, resentments and grief.

Leah is an intuitive healer who uses mediumship in her work to assist clients in their personal growth.

This conversation is about consciousness, connection, healing and how we can shift our perspective about death and our soul states.

Anyone can learn to trust there intuition, it just takes learning how to get out of one's way by quieting the mind, settling the ego, trusting what you hear/see/feel, and having the courage to share what your intuition or knowingness is informing you of.

How can we change our relationship to money so that we experience more happiness and peace and less worry and shame. Ken Honda and Leah Guy talk about the mindset about money and energy of prosperity.

Happy Money should make you smile with you receive it, and when you spend it you feel can feel appreciation. Your attitude toward money is the foundation to live in wealth, both emotional and tangible.

Arigato money is the way. Find out what that means from Japan's bestselling zen millionaire Ken Honda.

Money is energy, and energy flows. We have to learn to receive money as well as let it go.

"Money is energy. It can be happy or unhappy.

When you adjust your perspective on money you can see it as positive and negative flows based on the energy you have when receiving and spending your money.

When you receive and spend well you generally have a happy life. Conversely, if you are always feeling tension or fear around spending and receiving, chances are you are holding that energy through most situations.

Happy Money is your invitation to let the unhappy money go and begin bringing in happy money and a sense of freedom.

Ken has impacted millions with his message, selling over 8 million books worldwide.

Self-abandonment is a form of sabotage that many of us have learned as a means of "survival" in our relationships. Once formed, it often becomes a negative pattern in our daily lives.

Self-abandonment is a learned behavior, which means we can unlearn the behavior.

We abandon what we want or need.
We lie to ourselves and others about who we are and what are our wants and needs.
We hide.
We people please.
We ignore our hunches, intuition, or inner guidance.
We criticize and judge our most vulnerable parts.
We become perfectionists to avoid ever satisfying or achieving success.
We run from our dreams, change courses to avoid success or positive results that help us feel good and purposeful.
These are some of the ways we abandon ourselves.

What can we do?

We can learn to sit with our feelings. We can show up for ourselves. We can learn to speak our truth. We can follow the callings of our hearts and trust the process. 

Remember who you are. 
Remember that you are carrying precious cargo.
You are here with a soul that is brilliant and wants to shine.

Leah Guy and Matthew Branham, MAcOM, LAc, discuss powerful topics based on finding the harmony within our lives, living in harmony with the breath, and overcoming the fear of death.

Yin & Yang, breathing with nature, finding acceptance and flowing with the expansion and contraction and not forcing through or disrupting are part of this conversation.

The breath dynamic happens every day, every season, with every breath, and as with Yin & Yang, the human body also functions seasonally, and part of our conversation is about how death has come to be perceived as a loss, a fear, and a negative occurrence. Perhaps nature has a different intention.

Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of The Emotion Code, and The Body Code, joins Leah Guy to discuss how to release emotional baggage in order to restore mental and physical health.

Nelson discusses how he formulated the emotion code, and how learning from his clients that many of our physical ailments and mental blocks are due to holding old emotions in the body. This can also include generational trauma.

And, that healing doesn't have to take months or years, as it is possible to release the energy charge of certain emotions in a simple way.

Nelson also shares his personal spiritual beliefs and reliance on answered prayer from his higher power and divine connection to follow his call and bring this information to the world.
 
He relates the human body to a computer, and the subconscious mind as a super-computer. Nelson notes that we can ask direct questions and receive answers from the subconscious mind. "Within each person is the absolute perfect understanding and knowledge of what is wrong with them and why they are manifesting the dis-ease."

We know everything is energy, and energy, as emotion, as meant to move, change and release.


His best-selling book "The Emotion Code" provides step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy healing power. Look for his new book, “The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself,” coming February 2023 from St. Martin's Press.

Leah and Buddhist teacher, Deborah Eden Tull share an enlightening conversation about the darkness that may bring hope to any listener.

Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today’s world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness. It is through learning to stay present and meet the dark with curiosity rather than judgment that we connect to an unwavering light within. Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing.
 
Dharma teacher, shamanic practitioner, and deep ecologist Deborah Eden Tull addresses the spiritual, ecological, psychological, and interpersonal ramifications of our bias towards light. 

Eden is an engaged dharma teacher, spiritual activist, author, and sustainability educator, who teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She trained for seven and a half years as a Buddhist monk at a silent Zen monastery and has taught engaged meditation for over 20 years. Eden has lived in sustainable communities and as an organic gardener/farmer for decades and celebrates the essential wisdom of nature. For more info, visit her website.

It's the end of the year and while many people are considering their New Year plans, I want to invite you to consider the practice of resiliency in our spiritual journey.

Becoming more resilient is something we can foster in our lives at any age. 

It's not just the ability to be strong or brave in the face of uncertainty or life's challenges, but the ability to come back to self, to your center and trust your mind and body to process what is necessary so that we can continue. It's a great skill, and one that is necessary for all of us to move through life with more authenticity and grace.

Leah discusses this important topic as a way to invite us to look at our self-commitments this year, and to help secure within the anchor that we so desperately need in times of stress. 

Many blessings to each of you, this day and this new year and beyond. Thank you for listening, for following, and for showing up for yourself on the healing journey!

We are covering one of the most popular topics of the human condition - relationships - with trauma-informed polarity coach, David Lea and Leah Guy.

David and Leah dive into the definitions of masculine and feminine, the characteristics of each in our daily lives and how we show up to ourselves and one another in relationships. Being trauma-informed means recognizing that we each carry trauma memory and are in the process of healing, yet with awareness and application we can shift the way our energy is received by others and the impact that has on relationships.

This is not a gender issue, it is an energy issue and everyone has a dominant energy or one they identify more strongly with and when we come to relationships out of that alignment, we can create stress and disharmony for all.

David is a coach, speaker and teacher and, alongside his life partner, Paige, has created a foundational program called Daring Deeply. Find more about his work here.

The journey of awakening is often a messy process. Stepping into our higher self, healing, connecting to our higher consciousness and developing our intuitive and trust skills can feel chaotic, energizing, scary, thrilling, confusing and overall like a roller coaster. 

In this conversation, Leah and Phill talk about the journey to awakening with the true stories of Phill from his new book, Letting Glow. 

We discuss:
mediumship
how raising our frequency can feel like a mental break
dealing with grief
how to trust your intuition and develop 6th sense capabilities
what it's like seeing ghosts and energy in the spirit world

Phill Webster is an author, actor, and developing medium. After living abroad and traveling the world for twenty years, he returned to his native England in 2017 and embarked on an acting career. Most notably, he has worked with people such as Elle Fanning, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hardy, and Benedict Cumberbatch, to name a few. At the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unexplained event, coupled with a devastating loss, sent him down a completely different path forever.

These events prompted a complete life review, and an exploration into the mystical, which culminated in the Amazon top of the charts book ‘Letting Glow’, and its soon to be released sequel, ‘Glowing Deeper’. In Book One, he documents his journey into mediumship, and sets out to de-mystify the mystical, making the unfolding and development of psychic senses accessible to us all. ‘Letting Glow’ delves headfirst into how we can connect with our highest states of intuition, manifest lives of purpose, realign the connection between our thoughts, consciousness, and our authentic selves, and ultimately, searches for proof that we survive physical death.

Welcome listeners. This is episode 2 of season 4 and I'm really glad you're here.

You may notice that the podcast format has changed for this season as I'm sharing my story of buying a historic and haunted home in Lambertville NJ on the day of Covid lockdown. 

I tell this story as a means to inspire us all how to face and embrace the darkness within, how to sit in discomfort and to heal the ghosts of our past. Weaved throughout this season we will also discover the various ways spirit talks to us, and we'll talk to experts in the field of metaphysics, mediumship and other spiritual teachings. 

This episode I introduce you to the specifics of the house and the stories that began shortly after I moved in. Some that seem benign - huge spiders, bats in the bedroom, stolen items..but combined with the rest of the story, I believe you'll start to see the energy that is becoming palpable at the house. 

The found objects I either still have or have pictures of, and the dreams - the male energy present who violated me many times over - has become one of the main characters in my one-woman show and the screenplay. 

I hope you enjoy this storytelling, and I'd love to hear feedback. Oh, and please share it with your friends!

Full transparency; Barbara did not listen to any of Leah's story about the haunted house thus far. She and Leah did not speak prior to this interview, and have no prior knowledge of one another. This is their first time communicating in any way.

Barbara shares information from her guides about the meaning of Leah's story, the dark energy of the house, where he is now, what is coming up for Leah in her work regarding this story, and reveals where the spirit is now.

Plus, she has energy clearers "ghost hunters" or "spirit removers" over to the house to investigate and help cleanse the property.

TRIGGER WARNING: The live recording is from this Thanksgiving (last week) evening during the middle of the night. John recorded Leah in a confrontation in the dreamtime with "Edward" - and then helped her come to full consciousness. As Barbara remarked in our last episode, he will continue to try to enter, and he sure did. The audio is her pleading and battling Edward to stay out of her space and this house. 

Leah shares about vulnerability and how we have to be cautious with our physical, mental and emotional health when we are feeling tired, weak, ill - and also share some of the information given to her from the ghost hunters, Marcia and Marty from Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

Also in this episode, you'll meet the young spirits trying to get Leah's attention, and what goes on up in the attic, as well as more information about the burial pit. 

It's a loaded 28 minutes, closing out with a sweet scripture from Psalms that Leah reads one night to the young girls' spirits who are afraid.  

Remember, Leah was taking notes of all her experiences while there after realizing something different was going on at this house, but she was not planning to share, podcast, write a script or otherwise during this time-period. The notes are real-time as best as can be remembered.

In this episode Leah introduces you to two neighbors,  her only neighbors, at the house. These neighbors have become characters in the screenplay as their timeline was so instrumental to the shift at the house.

Zencat is her name. I'm not sure where the name came from, but she wore it proudly. John is her husband. They live in the house right next door to Leah, the house that looked abandoned but wasn't, next to the abandoned cottage on the hill.

Leah discusses their mental health issues and addictions, the behavior and interactions that went on during her time there, like Zencat being naked scooting on her bottom down the asphalt road, unable to get up. This was a repeated occurance.

The multiple calls to the ambulance. The screaming at the house, the chit chat, the accidents with the railings.. It was two years of Zencat and John, although they had lived at their house for over 20 years.

In this episode, we continue the story of  the  haunted house on Weeden. Leah continues to be lured into the dreamtime by "Edward" or the dark energy of the house.

Facing some of life's difficult challenges, alongside magical occurrences, Leah begins to use the suggestions from her late grandmother's card of instructions to empower her.

This episode marks the beginning of a new kind of energy at the house.

Based on true-life stories, documented by Leah between 2020 and 2023.

Welcome back to the Modern Sage Podcast!

In this season Leah is telling the personal story of living in a haunted house and the transformation that took place internally, within her and in the clearing of the house. 

We have already been introduced to characters Zencat and John, the neighbors, the energy clearers, the dark energy we call "Edward," and various other entities. 

Today Leah takes you on a journey of how emotion and energy manifest physically, and how to work with that in a mindful way. She also shares the next step of healing in the home and the breakthrough that happened within her while watching The Kominsky Method one evening. 

Sometimes life's greatest revelations happen in the most mundance circumstances. As does our healing.

This story will never be over, but for now Leah is wrapping up the story of her time at the haunted house on Weeden St with some powerful messages from spirit. 

One's healing journey is never over, as healing is not linear. Much of life isn't linear, however we perceive it to be in order to maintain some sense of control. 

What is it to feel connected and safe in spirit, living in a higher, more expanded vibration and consciousness, feeling trusting in the moment and free within oneself? It's a feeling most are desirous of, yet terrified of. 

The will to live includes the tenacity to maintain integrity and wholeness in the present moment. The more capacity we have for the moment, the more peaceful and present we can be. 

Join Leah on the tail of this haunted house story, as she weaves in some of the most important teachings about building this capacity for self.

For those on a spiritual path, learning to becoming sensitive to spirit can happen in many ways. In this conversation, Leah talks with spiritual teacher and author Dimitri Moraitis, cofounder of the Spiritual Arts Institute in CA, about having a spiritual practice, learning to notice the energy of spirit, and how to become sensitive and committed to healing the self in order to meet the soul.

Dimitri and his partner Barbara Martin are co-founders of the Spiritual Arts Institute and have written numerous books on spiritual growth together, including Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura, and Communing with the Divine. 

Listen in to be encouraged on your spiritual journey and to hear Dimitri's take on energy, spirit, communing with the other side and more.

The final episode of season 4 brings you to contemplate how you fill your life and stay attached to your to-do lists/obligations as a survival mechanism rather than using the space in-between to access the flow state.

To be in the flow, we open to our intuition, trust, creativity, feminine energy, abundance and the unknown. It can be a scary energy to embody if we've spent most of our time in survival, or trying to find our identity based on what we do or achieve.

Let yourself contemplate and perhaps join the challenge to be in the moments in between the busyness so you can activate the energy within that wants to emerge. This practice isn't just for artists, it's for all co-creators who desire to have more peace, curiosity and joy in their lives. To feel what it is to be present and available to what is possible when we aren't jamming our time with to-dos and expectations.

Survival Mode - we hear about it but aren't sure if we're in it. 

Survival mode is a trauma response. When we are burdened with the stress of life or past experiences or trauma, or if we have generational trauma in our families, we may have learned how to survive, but not much else.

Many people are living in survival mode. The anxious state that is overwhelmed and cannot be present or available for new experiences, feelings, spontaneity or true relaxation.

Leah covers the symptoms of survival mode, as well as how to get out of survival mode and heal. 

Some of the highlights are:
Desire to feel numb
Stuck in fight, flight or freeze
Being overly reactive
Having anxiety
Inability to focus

What is the opposite of survival mode? The ability to relax, be available, have resources on hand to pivot without panic, to authentically enjoy one's surroundings and simply being alive.

Leah shares some of her favorite methods to move beyond survival into a place of present moment living through somatic therapy, sound healing, yoga, movement for healing, meditation and more. 

Listen in and be inspired. Oh, and Leah shares another story about the house - but of course!

In this episode Leah speaks with author and medium Carole Obley on how to heal grief and guilt and find security about life's transitions.

Many of us believe there is an afterlife. However we may have a hard time trusting life's natural processes such as death.

Carole and Leah speak about how the eternal bond of love is real, how spirit beings are living entities who are still present in our lives, and how we can form a relationship with them through communication to further deepen that relationship.

There is no end to our loving relationships, energy is infinite. We can learn how to move through life's grief and often the guilt that comes with these transitions, to remember that there is no ending and that spirit is alive and well.

Have you ever asked for a sign? Maybe you didn't get the sign, or notice it. Or maybe, you got the message loud and clear. Even still many of us have doubt, even when we say we believe, that spirit is on our side - that God listens - that we are worthy of a life that is guided by the great beyond.

In this solo podcast, Leah shares some of her recent signs and confirmations about her project regarding her new work. Some may seem trite, others more profound.

But the message of the podcast is that we must be in an active relationship with spirit to know their language, to hear the calling, to witness the signs. This isn't a one-way relationship, it's an interactive one that calls us to engage with the highest and most loving, most pure and divine of energy and beings. 

Take a listen, enjoy and ponder for yourself, what do you really believe, and how are you nurturing that relationship? 

The truth is, confirmation is everywhere that spirit is present, and we are constantly being guided in the direction that is best for us, if we but notice. It requires our presence.

An encouraging podcast to remind you that no matter what is going on today, your story is not over.

Change is inevitable - and even when we welcome it, it can be stressful to get through.

There's often a more subtle, but no less powerful, type of change and that is the call of your spirit. The knowingness that it is time to address, readdress, ponder, explore, act, surrender and heed the call of your soul. This is a personal and potent energy that comes right on time, if we open to it.

Leah shares about her fears of performing in the one-woman show, and the call of her heart to do so, as well as the ways that present-moment living and breaking free from the stories of our past can help us.

This simple question can help you in your healing work, help you get clear about your desires, and to help you create strong boundaries. 

Being available has more to do than time management or even ideas of what we want. It's a deep and nuanced understanding of our energy and how we are using it. 

Are we being true to ourselves?
Are we operating out of fear?
Are we listening to the small voice within?
Are we open to receiving or more interested in controlling?

Take a listen and let yourself get curious so you can find your authentic truth.

This is my 100th episode!! Thank you so much for listening and being along for the ride.

Today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite subjects: God. 

How we speak about God.
How we receive God.
How we love God.
How we live God out in our lives.

And the powerful reminder of God's word - that we were not born with or given the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.

Who and what is God for you?

Leah Guy is a 3x author, inspirational leader and intuitive healer who brings her own experiences of trauma, addiction, emotional imbalances, anxieties and fears to the conversation.

Leah interviews New York Times bestselling author Christy Whitman, The Desire Factor, to learn how to manifest the life that we want. 

The Art of Having it All, and Taming Your Alpha Bitch, along with The Desire Factor teach us how to get into the flow of working with spiritual principles to attain that which we want in our lives. 

What gets in our way? As Christy and Leah discuss, our self-worth, or feeling like we are wanting superficial things in our lives, often stop us from aligning with our higher self. As Christy says, we can use our natural and sometimes superficial desires, to step into alignment with the gifts and rewards we seek. These desires help remind us who we can become, what energy and vibration is calling us to show up to attain. 

It's the markers we establish for ourselves that lead us to how to be the person with the full spiritual power that we have. What desires are ok? What desires are from spirit or from ego? Join this fascinating conversation to learn how to stop talking yourself out of your desires, whatever those may be.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy that is gaining great traction in the world of healing. Originally used for symptoms of PTSD, EMDR is now used by many therapists world-wide for its powerful and relatively quick effect on other emotional distress symptoms such as anxiety, addiction and negative thought or behavior patterns. The process is deemed fast, simple and safe. 

Leah talks with Robert Grigore, MCP, RCC, a Certified EMDR Therapist & Approved EMDR Consultant, Published EMDR Author, Speaker, and the Owner & CEO of Grigore Counseling.

From the boardroom to the bedroom - the art of negotiation. Some fear the word as if it were a stand-off at an old saloon. Others picture the high-powered executives making deals and growing even richer. But the truth is, we all negotiate in all areas of our lives, so therefore we need to know how to do it consciously, and be effective.

My conversation with Cindy Watson will enlighten your minds. Cindy is the founder of Women On Purpose, and also the founder and managing partner of Watson Labour Lawyers. She is an experienced and respected attorney, and for the past 30 years has specialized in social justice.

Our conversation introduces her AreFit model of negotiation, using strategies such as empathy, assertiveness, intuition and trust. Cindy is passionate about reframing negotiation, to remove the fear and to balance the power through the art of femininity. It's not just for women, mind you.

We talk about the difference between boundaries and control, negotiation and compromise, manipulation and persuasion all to increase our influence in a positive and conscious way to live a better life and have outcomes that benefit both parties. It's not just about asking (or demanding) what you want, or getting your needs met, but ultimately negotiation is the process of building better relationships.

Anxiety is a symptom. Most of it is like a fire alarm in our brain due to the unconscious beliefs we absorbed when we were kids. Many of us are not approaching the healing of our anxiety correctly. We are responding to the situations or feelings we have in the moment, but to the situations or programming in the past.

We are solving the wrong problem.

Instead of dealing with issue that are at the core of our anxiety, we are dealing with the symptoms. This is true for most any kind of anxiety, except that we feel in imminent danger.

Listen to my conversation with hypnotist and behavior special Tim Shurr, for understanding on how to finally heal.

We also discuss Covid-fatigue and the possibility of anxiety as the world opens back up.

Tim gives us his one-minute anxiety-buster tips, some which are new to me and I've been trying out!

If you or someone you know suffers with anxiety, please share this podcast or introduce them to my YouTube channel where you can watch this interview in video form.

Food matters. It's not just our physical health, but what we eat definitely affects our mental health, emotional health, and our hormones and mood.

My guest, Sara Snow, is an Emmy Award Winning documentary producer and TV host. She's an author and international public speaker as well as a certified natural health specialist. In the last few years, Sara applied her knowledge and passion for healthy living to become a certified health coach, life coach and enneagram coach and now works with individuals and groups around the country to help them step into a life of greater health and purpose.

Today we talk about simple ways to prepare foods as a form of self-love, and why it's hard to sometimes make the right choices.

Listen and be inspired, perhaps try a new eating plan, including intentional eating, and see how or if it helps to stabilize your mood and mind.

As a writer and teacher, I find myself often jotting down notes on healing, on personal growth and spiritual awareness. I thought I'd share some of those thoughts with you in this podcast, in a free-form style, simply reflecting on various notes from a particular page.

From chronic pain, to releasing our need for perfection, to being happy for no reason.
I hope you enjoy these thoughtful musings, and find some nuggets of inspiration for your day.

Important topics with a funny man.
Chuck can talk about almost anything. As a stand-up comic for over 20 years, a TV host and podcaster (on science, see StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson) Chuck will make you laugh, but he's also on a mission to save the world (his podcast Pod Zero is more than just talk, it's a movement).

But today, Chuck and I talk about sugar, relationships, shame, toxic masculinity, what it's like to grow older as an entrepreneur and entertainer and more. He's a wise guy, and I mean that literally. Take a listen and enjoy.

For more on Chuck, visit his website, or catch him live in NYC or on tour soon. It's a good time.

Stoner lore. Budtender. Recreational use vs. medicinal use. DIY cannabis treatment and the pitfalls and risks of self-dosing.

Is cannabis use helpful for PTSD and anxiety? Dr. Jordan Tishler says so, but it can also be harmful if not used correctly. Curious if CBD actually works? You might be surprised with Dr. Tishler's response.

This conversation covers everything from cannabis regulation, who's at risk using cannabis, is cannabis addictive, how the psychedelic movement may or may not effect the positive movement of the medical marijuana treatment and the effects on physical pain. 

Tishler is a cannabinoid specialist who has devoted his life's work to the education, regulation and medicinal use of cannabis and is at the forefront of this work. He is the founder of InhaleMD, on the faculty of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School and has been named Clinician of the Year from The Americans for Safe Access.

We discuss the in's and outs of the ever-evolving world of cannabis use and how to trust the supplier or find a specialist, to understanding if cannabis could be useful to you for your health needs.

*Trusting others is a sometimes an overwhelming proposition.
#trust #trustingothers #healing #learningtotrust
Leah turns the conversation away from the expectations of others to how to become aware when the inner voice says "I am unworthy, I am not enough, I am unloveable." 
Trust and love are often transactional expectations so we feel safe in our experience.
What if the conversation turns to how we treat ourselves? Do we trust ourself? Do we stay true to our hearts?

In this podcast we look at how we relate to self and others through the lens of our spiritual life, where we lack faith and trust in the Source, God, the Universe - our connection and importance in the whole.

If we have belief of self-worth, we would have a deeper trust and faith in how life happens for us. If shame and insecurities are driving the ego to defend and respond, we will always feel separate and unworthy of the trust and abundance that are available.

Leah's new book, Overcoming Toxic Emotions, is available now, and on Audible.

You may have questions about the validity of astrology in general, or a more curious understanding how it works.  This episode covers everything you want to know about Vedic Astrology, plus a live reading for Leah.

Vedic Astrology, known as Jyotish, is the ancient art and science of divination as expounded in the Vedas, which are said to be the oldest record of human experience and cognized by enlightened sages at least 5,000 years ago. Jyotish is the Sanskrit word for “light,” and students of the Vedas are taught that Jyotish represents the eyes, or vision, of the Vedas.

As a practitioner of Vedic Science, Michael has meditated, studied and taught in the Vedic tradition for over 40 years. Having intensified his study of Jyotish over the past two decades, he has cultivated a lifelong interest in astrology into a thriving practice as a respected counselor, consultant and teacher. Michael also holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

To find more about Michael's work or to book an appt, visit his website.

In this interview I speak with Dr. Q, the founder of the Indian Palm Leaf Reading Institute as he explains the fascinating practice of Nadi astrology, or Indian Palm Leaf Readings. 

"About 3,000 years ago there were many great sages (the exact number is unclear: some speak of only 7, some say 18, and some sources refer to dozens), the Maharishis of India, who were so pure of heart and mind and had attained such a high level of consciousness that they could see through time and space. They had the ability to see the future lives of millions of people and eternalized these visions on dried Palm Leaves – one for each person’s life they foresaw … and among them possibly your very own."

Leah had a reading from the sages of India, and can attest to the profound experience of having one's leaf found, your name, date of birth, day of birth, parents names and her own name revealed by the reader in India, via zoom.

To book a reading, and to receive $100 discount, use the code LEAH or THE MODERN SAGE PODCAST. The process is simple, but not quick. Listen in to find out how this reading works and what information you can gain about your health, wealth, relationships, and family dynamics. Some even have karmic lessons to share and more.

Don't feel "at home" where you're living? Drawn to a certain location or environment? There's a real thing called Astrocartography, and we're talking with master astrologer Elizabeth Smith on how to use this wisdom to point you in the right direction (literally).
 
What is it?

From her website: "When we’re born, the planets energetically ‘program’ our endocrine glands to create a personality in the body. They also ‘install’ that information into every location on Earth.
When you change location, you significantly impact how your life will unfold in response to this planetary programming, which is unique to every person based on their birth time and place.. The Aquarian Age, with its emphasis on technology, mobility and individual freedom, has provided a guide to that location information. 

Simply stated, you can now consciously participate in choosing your astrological destiny."

With more than 40 years experience, master astrologer and astrocartography expert Elizabeth Smith is a gifted counselor and seasoned speaker with a passion for facilitating liberation with this life-changing knowledge. 

She learned her stellar craft from the greats of the astrological world: Isabel Hickey, Jim Lewis and Liz Greene as well as through direct transmissions from the natural world while dwelling in deep communion with the elements for nineteen years.

She has taught in the most reputable healing and spiritual education centers in New York City including Maha Rose, Heal Haus  and The Alchemist’s Kitchen and has spoken in venues around the US that promote self awareness and balanced, healthy lifestyles.

#connection #missingeachother #mentalhealth #attunement #meditation 
Today we're talking about one of my favorite topics: the power and importance of finding deep and meaningful connection. Even amongst our peers, families and colleagues, many people are feeling disconnected, unheard, lonely and separate, and the conditions of the pandemic has only made that worse. This conversation is to help each of us to feel seen, heard and validated by our interactions with the world. 

Authors Edward (Ted) Brodkin, MD (psychiatrist and medical doctor) and Ashley Pallathra, M.A. and current PhD candidate bring their wisdom of connection in their new book, Missing Each Other (link below).

We discuss how mental health is effected through disconnection and connection, and the quality of our relationships, as well as some of their specific steps to find more meaningful connection, starting with attunement.

Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, in relationship or not, self-employed or unemployed, this conversation and their work can be very important for the purpose of healing.

Inflammation - what is it, how it accumulates in our bodies, and what we can do to reduce it. Inflammation is a reality for all of us, but many of us don't realize how it affects not only our health, but our moods, our mental health and physical pain. Inflammation accompanies or promotes every disease of every kind (and its twin sister, oxidative damage).

I'm talking to Jonny Bowden, certified nutrition specialist, known as the mythbuster in the natural foods industry, about which foods, herbs, oils and supplements that will help us reduce inflammation overall, and in specific areas in our bodies.

Jonny Bowden, a certified nutrition specialist, is an associate editor at Total Health Magazine and the author of The Great Cholesterol Myth, Shape Up Workbook: Eight Weeks to Diet and Fitness Success. He lives in Los Angeles, CA. You can find more of Jonny's book and knowledge on his website where he claims you can find "The truth about the most powerful health strategies to improve your metabolism, lower your inflammation, and increase your energy!"

We're talking all things sex. Self-pleasure. Health benefits. Sacred sex. Full-body orgasms.
And more.

Sex isn't just friction, or getting off to reach orgasm and beyond. The beyond is looking at vulnerability, overcoming shame, and becoming present to create a safe space to have expanded orgasm and conscious connection in our love-making. And, why women have so many less orgasms than men.

The health benefits of sex and orgasms are numerous: health and life-span, reboot your nervous system, pcos, menstrual cramping, creates a theta brain-wave state, the same as mindfuless meditation + a flooding of neurotransmitters and hormones such as oxytocin. Plus, it's natural, appropriate and our birthright. 

Susan Bratton is an intimacy expert who helps people have more joy and pleasure in their sex. She shares her wisdom in overcoming sexual abuse in her lifetime and being able to heal. Leah also has had sexual assault, and objectification as a young person.

Are you ok to feel the way that you feel? Or do you suffer from toxic positivity?

Toxic positivity can look like:
Saying yes when you mean no, or vice versa.
Telling others you are fine when you aren't.
Lying to yourself with words that are untrue.
Forcing yourself to feel a certain way (better) when you feel bad.
Telling others to avoid certain feelings, or other quippy responses like "this too shall pass."
Appeasing others expectations of you or how you should feel.
Not being transparent with your partner.

We've become a culture that hides our authentic feelings in effort to appear like we have it all together. There's a sense of shame that afflicts us if we are having a difficult time, or feel low, not put together or successful. As if emotions determine our success.

Give this podcast a listen, and see what you can do instead. If you want to use affirmation, maybe try an authentic approach that will alleviate the inner conflict from happening.
