Can a psychic really tell you what your purpose is? And what do you do with the information when it may not make sense at the time?  In this episode, I dive into how psychic readings can potentially reveal one's life purpose and my own personal experience.  I recount a serendipitous encounter with an ‘interdimensional channel' in Sedona, Arizona, who channelled information about my purpose.  I reveal how the insights landed at the time and how they have evolved over time.  This experience has taught me how psychic guidance can be used as a starting point for inner exploration but you must remain open to the unfolding journey of life.  Psychics filter and interpret information through their own personal lens, so stay open-minded when interpreting these insights.  I encourage you to trust your own journey and inner guidance while being open to mystic insights, highlighting that fulfilling your true calling unfolds in divine right timing.  I offer advice on integrating psychic information into your own life and the ongoing process of self-discovery and development.

If something is meant for you, it won't pass you by. In this episode I share my most recent experience that shows the importance of trusting life's timing and having faith in the process.  Recently, I faced a big disappointment when we didn't get the apartment we had hoped for... But ultimately it led us to find an even better place (which is divinely designed as discussed in episode #51 - Rejection is protection (so don't despair)).  Revealing how we navigated a competitive rental market and manifesting a place that met all our criteria, this story serves as a testament to the power of faith and trusting that what's meant for you will not pass you by.  This episode reinforces the belief that what's meant for you will find you, even in competitive situations or when the odds don't seem in your favour.  If you trust yourself, take the right inspired actions, and stay open and patient to divine timing, then anything is possible.  Join me as I dive into these spiritual lessons and how they can transform your own path.

Are you holding yourself back from going for your dreams and soul callings?  Inspired by a recent psychic reading, we're diving into how we often wait for external validation before we feel confident enough to go for what's in our hearts (especially those of us who aren't cis-het white men!). Using my experiences from flood recovery efforts, I'll show you the power of acting confidently without waiting for permission.  This episode is a call to action: trust your intuition, embrace your unique contribution, and take that next step towards your calling.  It's time to break free from self-doubt and light up the world with your unique, creative contribution.

In this episode we explore the significance of engaging in activities that bring joy and happiness to our lives.  Societal norms and pressures discourage you from taking the time for things that bring you joy, attributing value only to being “productive”. And yet, prioritising what makes you happy invigorates your life force energy and aligns you with your inner spirit. It's time to experiment with activities that make you happy, and reconnect to what brought you joy as a child. I reveal how making happiness a priority, even in the smallest ways, helps you discover and fulfil your life's purpose and calling. It's that vital!

The world is our mirror, reflecting back our inner states of consciousness. The Dalai Lama said “we'll never see peace in the outer world until we have peace within ourselves” So as we face rising global unrest, one of the most powerful things we can do is continue not only to show up and take the actions we are called to take to contribute to change, but do the inner work to embody the peace we want to see in the world.  In this episode, I share about that time I googled for ‘spiritual psychic help' and the surprising life-changing revelation it revealed that changed my life. It helped me understand how each of us taking radical responsibility and doing our inner healing forms a critical part of our healing our world.  The other episodes I mention are: #69 - Year of Yes #5 - Dealing with worry about the future In this episode: 00:20 Reflecting on a Week of Emotional Highs and Lows 01:55 The Importance of Self-Care and Kindness 03:42 Observations on Global Protests and Inner Peace 04:51 Personal Journey of Inner Healing 10:28 The World is Your Mirror: Insights and Inner Work 13:59 The Power of Sharing Your Story 15:08 Navigating Loss and Grief with Inner Strength 20:08 Embracing Inner Work for Global Change 24:24 Offering Support and Encouragement Free Discovery Chat Curious about working together?

In this episode we dive into the art of dealing with life's unforeseen challenges. I share my latest personal process rooted in my profound connection to trees and my distress in response to my landlord's plans to remove all the trees in our backyard.  This experience becomes a gateway to a broader conversation about life's unpredictability and how seemingly adverse situations can be leading you to what you need in ways you can't foresee.  Inspired by the Zen farmer parable, I reflect on the importance of embracing change, trusting in a greater unfolding and flow of life, and maintaining equanimity during difficult times. We need this now more than ever as we collectively face the distressing continuing genocide of Palestinians and the oppressive forces against the recent student protests.

A quick update to share that there won't be a regular episode this week as I'm currently enjoying a bit of a holiday in the northern rivers of New South Wales, dogsitting the world's cutest cavoodle for a friend.  This break has allowed me to soak up the sun, enjoy the beach, and reconnect with old friends in a place that feels deeply like home to me.  I also announce a slight shift in podcast schedule, with new episodes landing for your listening pleasure on Friday nights (Aussie time).  In this coming week, what can you do for your wellbeing and joy in your life?  Despite the brief hiatus, you can schedule 1:1  sessions with me for when I return home later next week, including my special oracle readings rate.  Book a free discovery call to explore working together: https://soulstrategies.co/discovery Schedule an oracle reading at special introductory rate: https://soulstrategies.co/oraclereading  In this brief update: 00:00 Welcome to a Random Update  00:23 Enjoying a Break and Embracing the Tropical Warmth!!  01:06 Upcoming Podcast Schedule Changes  01:38 Self-Care Encouragement 02:09 Reflections on Home and Community 03:01 Booking Services and Oracle Readings Offer 03:40 Goodbye Until Next Week (When the Podcast Resumes as Normal) Ways to connect with me: Website Instagram Free: Infinite Possibilities Meditation Discovery Chat Did you enjoy this episode?

Yet again, I am humbled to see how the unfolding path in front me is different from what I expected. This latest plot twist involves me getting a job!  Despite my extensive experience as a career coach and having clear goals, I faced unexpected challenges in my job search when I moved to Melbourne eight months ago. However, through these experiences, I learned the importance of trust, intuition, surrendering to divine timing, and being open to jobs that look different from what I initially expected.  In this episode, I delve into my insights and the lessons I learned about divine guidance, the importance of being open and flexible in our expectations, and how everything that happens is a part of a bigger plan for our highest good.  I discuss the transformative power of letting go of control, the importance of divine timing, and how these principles can apply to you in your own job search and career transitions.  Other episodes I mention are: #48 - Want a new job?

Are you holding on to guilt, regret or shame for things you've done or said in the past, to yourself or to others? This is the episode for you.  This was sparked by a social media poll I did that indicated how many of you struggle more with self-forgiveness than self-acceptance. So I open up and share some of my experiences of overcoming guilt and regret from the past - from the end of my marriage, broken friendships, addiction-fuelled regrets and the way I treated my mum and my body… Carrying emotional baggage from the past hinders your personal growth and connection to your true self. And yet, our biggest growth comes from painful experiences. So trust the journey, learn from past mistakes and forgive yourself. The journey of self-forgiveness will free you up to pursue your soul's purpose with less resistance and more ease. In this episode: 00:00 Welcome to the journey of self-forgiveness 01:01 The importance of self-forgiveness  03:25 Understanding self-forgiveness through personal stories 04:31 The process that helped me heal from so much shame  07:54 Deep dive into some of my personal experiences of forgiveness 13:04 The ripple effects of forgiveness in relationships 19:05 Embracing the journey and letting go 22:15 Support and resources for self-forgiveness 23:15 Conclusion: the path towards living your true calling Self-Forgiveness Meditation This binaural beats meditation will guide you to forgive yourself and help you find peace about the past. https://soulstrategies.co/meditations/p/self-forgiveness Create Space for Change A 4-part course to help you let go of what no longer serves you and create space for what you really want - more joy, fulfillment and freedom.

Potential plot twist time! In this episode I share my recent career developments. After some recent conversations sparking new ideas and feelings, and the lure of greater financial stability mixed with a desire to feel a part of a team again, I am back exploring the idea of getting what I affectionately call ‘a jobby job'.  I reveal the details of one opportunity that is unfolding in a hospital philanthropy team - how it came about unexpectedly and my current thoughts and feelings about it.  I am repeating this prayer about this opportunity: "Dear God (or Divine/ Universe/ Higher power of your choosing) Please bless it or block." Such a simple and powerful prayer to surrender to the Divine will. If you are on a current job search journey or just wondering what your next steps are, this is for you! I share the importance of trust in the process and divine timing, being open to possibilities, and allowing yourself the flexibility to pivot and change paths (whenever you feel called!).  I also introduce my new course, 'Create Space for Change,' to help you let go of what no longer serves you and create space for what you really want.  Check it out at https://soulstrategies.co/createspace Enrol by 11 April and get $50 off!

We all have an aversion to the unfamiliar and unknown, and yet that is the path we will continue to be called on by our souls.  Drawing inspiration from a client's artistic journey, I share the metaphor of facing a blank canvas and how it symbolises the leap of faith required to embrace uncertainty and follow the steps as you are shown - without always knowing where they will lead. I share my most recent experience of the new, unexpected path opening up in offering oracle readings - how the steps to this new deeply satisfying work were revealed in stages and how yet again, I had no idea what was ahead on my path. I dive into the beauty of trusting your intuition, embracing change, letting go of what no longer serves you and aligning with your authentic self for personal and collective transformation.  Things I promised in the show notes: Oracle Readings  Whether you seek guidance on a specific issue or simply crave deeper understanding of your divine path, these sessions are tailored to help light your way forward.

After discovering ‘manifesting' 18 years ago, my approach to living my best life and having my biggest impact has changed significantly.

Your ancestors are with you - loving, supporting, guiding and protecting you. And they are always trying to communicate with you. In this episode, I discuss the ways in which you more intentionally start to receive messages from your ancestors. I am tuning in from Adelaide for this episode and have been retracing my family roots, including finding ‘Amanda Street' named after my great grandmother (who I am named after!). I share what I learnt from the book 'Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe' by Laura Lynne Jackson and my exploration of communication with my ancestors through signs.

It can be easy to lose hope and feel despairing in the face of what we are currently facing in the world.  We are in the midst of our collective dark night of the soul, which is a necessary (and painful) catalyst for our collective transformation and growth.  In this episode, I delve into what is keeping hope alive in my heart during these times.  I share my firsthand experiences of seeing the gifts in disaster and how they help to open our hearts and awaken us to our shared humanity.  Disasters of all natures (including man-made created ones like genocide) serve as a means for us to strengthen our collective power, which destablises the systems and structures that have oppressed our power until now.  Tune in and cultivate your hope, harness faith in a divine higher power, and trust in the power of love as the strongest force known to us. New Meditation!  Finding hope in challenging times  Shift from pain and despair to greater hope and strength in only 12 minutes!  This guided meditation has been specifically created to help you meet these times we are facing.

I've also cried this prayer in response to the horrors I see unfolding in Palestine, and it helps me to align with my inner spirit and divine purpose.

Your path to feeling alive by an authentic, fulfilling life is to be true to yourself. And yet, in the noise of external expectations and influences, it can be difficult to be clear on your intuition and what feels true and right for you.  As Pluto enters Aquarius, we enter a period of immense transformation and awakening.  More than ever we are all being called to live in alignment with our souls.  In today's episode, I share practical tips help you discover - and remain - true to yourself and your inner knowing in life, love and work.  I also share my own personal journey of self-discovery and honouring the inner calls of my soul, including as a queer woman (who for much of my life identified as hetero).  The key to feeling fully alive is to break free from the shackles of expectations and conditioning.

How does one hold their centre in the face of an increasingly insane world and growing pressures? In this episode, I dive into what it means to hold your centre and how vital it is to not lose faith and hope.

Welcome to 2024 folks. Now more than ever we need to follow the calls of our souls and take action on what matters to us. In this episode, I give you an honest view into the reflections I've been doing as we transition into a new year.  Fuelled by inspiration from Shonda Rimes ‘The Year of Yes' and the practical kick up the butt from ‘Manage your Day-to-Day', I have decided to take more initiative in my life and work this coming year. I share about how I will do things differently and take more action.  This is a deep dive into the importance of self-reflection, setting manageable goals, and taking steps out of our comfort zone.  We close this episode with a prayer for Palestine as South Africa takes its case to the International Court of Justice.  May you be able to hold space for the duality and complexity in these intense and revolutionary times - and have the courage and commitment to do what you are called to do.  Love Mandie x Things you'll hear in this episode: 00:00 Introduction and Welcome to the New Year 00:47 Reflecting on the Past Year 04:18 The Power of Saying Yes 08:00 The Importance of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone 10:56 The Role of Reflection and Review in Personal Growth 14:02 Setting Goals and Intentions for the New Year 18:52 The Power of Just F*cking Doing It 24:13 The Importance of Taking Action 28:37 Prayer for Palestine 30:44 Conclusion and Farewell Ways to stay in touch: I dish up (mostly) daily goodness on the 'gram at https://www.instagram.com/soulstrategies Sign up for irregular love letters from me via email at https://soulstrategies.co/#newsletter Please leave a comment, review or share if you enjoy the show.

Being the change we wish to see in the world has long been something I've aspired to... but it's taken me on a big healing journey to do embody it in a deeper way. In this episode, I share more of my journey to 'being the change' and explore what it means on an individual and practical level. It comes with a trigger warning as I discuss my substance abuse and an eating disorder, and how I found healing and self-love. My healing journey involved diving deep to face the parts of myself I was trying to avoid. It's the necessary shadow work we all must do as we embody more love for ourselves and one another. I discuss the importance of developing healthy habits and routines, as well as compassion and forgiveness in shaping our relationships with ourselves and the world. Each of our healing journey will be unique. But I hope in hearing more of mine, it gives you hope and encourages you to continue your courageous path and journey towards greater love and peace. Because as the Dalai Lama said "we won't obtain peace in the outer world until we find peace within ourselves".

Are you prioritising art and your creativity? Art has a unique way of shifting our energy and opening us up to new ideas and possibilities. It helps connects us to ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can help elevate our energy, and therefore help elevate our lives. Recently, I took an afternoon off to spend time with a friend visiting Melbourne. We visited an art exhibition by Marshmallow Laser Feast and the National Gallery of Victoria. I was read a pertinent part of the book by Laura Lynn Jackson I'm currently engrossed in called "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe." This day was a turning point for me, as it made me realise the significance of prioritising art in my life. In this episode I also reflect on my own creative process and struggles. It's time for us all to embrace imperfection and get joy and pleasure from the process of creating - and enjoy other's creations. The world will be a better place for it. What you can expect to hear: 00:00 Introduction and the Power of Art and Creativity 00:44 Personal Experiences and Reflections on Creativity 02:17 Exploring Art Exhibitions and Their Impact 04:22 The Role of Art in Changing the World 07:37 The Importance of Art in Elevating Energy 10:58 The Struggles and Rewards of the Creative Process 12:50 The Importance of Prioritising Creativity 17:27 Overcoming Perfectionism in Creative Endeavours 21:31 The Pleasure and Joy of Creative Expression 21:49 Encouragement for your Creative Practice Ways to stay in touch: I dish up (mostly) daily goodness on the 'gram at https://www.instagram.com/soulstrategies Sign up for irregular love letters from me via email at https://soulstrategies.co/#newsletter Please leave a comment, review or share if you enjoy the show.

We are always being guided to what is right for us. But if we are in resistance, we block the highest good flowing towards us. So we dive into what causes this resistance and how to release it. I also give you the update on what has been unfolding in my life since moving to Melbourne. Yet again, I am reminded that "my plans" don't always align with that the divine has in store for me. So I continue to learn the importance of being open to the unexpected and the "plot twists", and not be too attached to a specific plan. It's all about embracing the unexpected, trusting the divine, and being open to the unfolding mystery of life. Come dive in with me.

I believe that our purpose on Earth is to grow in love and consciousness and inspire others to do the same. We hear the cliched phrase "love and light" in spiritual circles, but what does it mean? In this episode, I explore two practical ways to incorporate "love and light" into your life. Firstly, your light is needed now more than ever. We light up the world by following what lights us up. By embracing what lights you up, you not only step onto your true path, but contribute to a brighter world. Recent global events have deepened my sense of connection with others. It's making me slow down, be more aware of those around me, and find ways to share love, kindness and care. Let's create a world where everyone can freely shine their own light.

On my spiritual journey, I've come to see that while "love and light" are essential, they alone cannot create the positive change we yearn to see in the world. In this episode, I share the pivotal point at which I realised that love is not passive in the face of injustice, but the active force that can shape our world when put into action. I also share a little known story of how myself and the original co-founders of a community volunteer flood recovery effort were bullied by government agencies to stop in our early days. But we didn't stop. And what unfolded serves as a reminder of the profound impact of standing up for what is right and the incredible power that lies within collective action. My heartbreak over the current situation in the Middle East has only grown over this past month. It's not enough to be a passive observer; we need to take action. We need to use our voices and our privilege to advocate for peace and an end to the occupation of Palestine. I want to inspire you believe in the power we have when we unite in action with love as a guiding force, knowing that together, we have the ability to create positive change on a global scale.

Taking care of yourself doesn't mean you're turning a blind eye to the problems of the world; it means you're preparing yourself to be part of the solution. For those of us in the long game of creating a better world, we need to see this as a marathon and replenish ourselves and look after one another along the way. In this episode, I share some of the things that are helping me to stay balanced and calm amidst increasingly turbulent and distressing times.

It's easy in this intense time to lose focus on our shared humanity, as we witness a rise in division, hate and wars. More than ever, it's crucial to recognise our shared humanity and work compassionately towards a world where everyone is free, safe, and at peace. In today's episode I speak about my experiences of the recent referendum and how I worked towards seeing our shared humanity, despite a divisive, nasty campaign. I also open up about turmoil in Israel and Palestine. Despite a predominantly western Governmental stance to stay silent on the war crimes happening against Palestinians, we must not lose sight of our shared humanity and do what we can to speak up for those who are oppressed. Take good care of you beautiful - the world is intense. Stay aware of the bias in mainstream media, use your privilege to voice your dissent to your Government where possible, and always remember we are in this together.

It seems so many of us are facing challenges in our lives and collectively. It is the Australian referendum, and now the outbreak of war in Israel and Palestine, along with the ongoing and new tragedies around the world. As well as the challenges and trials we face personally. So how do we maintain hope and faith in the face of challenges? It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. In this episode I share my recent insight and experience into the role beauty can play to help nurture us through hard times. One way to introduce beauty into our lives is through nature, art, and creative expression. These outlets can bring us joy and help us find solace amidst the chaos. I also share other tips and practices to help you navigate the tough times. Know that you are not alone in your struggles. We are all in this together. Here's to facing these challenges with continued hope, love, and gratitude. The episode I referred to was #36 - How deeply can you trust?

Capitalist society encourages us to constantly push and hustle to make things happen, which goes against the idea of slowing down and trusting in divine timing.

We all have that internal voice that can be self-critical and judgmental, that tells us we aren't ready, aren't good enough, or the classic, "who do you think you are to do that?!"

It's tough to face disappointments and setbacks. In my journey, I've faced my fair share of disappointments. Recently, I applied for a job that I was incredibly excited about, but didn't get. Ouch!

So we dive into how to navigate them and build our strength to keep going despite the setbacks.

The importance of having a support system of like-minded individuals while pursuing your calling, dreams and living authentically cannot be underestimated. Sparked by a recent insight from my Be Brave program, I highlight the value of a supportive network and dive into how to nurture one of your own. Of course I delve into the value of enlisting the support of the Universe to help you build your network, along with following your intuition, and ways to actively seek connections. You deserve to be connected, valued, seen, appreciated and supported by people who love you and cheer you on (and you do the same for them!).

Rejection happens. You don't get the job; you lose your job; you miss out on a great opportunity; your project doesn't get funded; an initiative of yours doesn't get up and running; the client doesn't sign up; the donor doesn't give; a relationship or friendship ends… But what if it's all part of the divine plan? What if it's opening you up for something else you're meant for? Or keeping you safe from a situation that wouldn't serve you in the long run? Rejection can be the exact thing you need to be redirected towards your true calling. In today's episode I share an experience where things were just not flowing and how rejection opened the way to the most precious thing occurring. Knowing that rejection can be the Divine's way of protecting and guiding you, can provide so much comfort. It will help you stay less attached to outcomes, to help you process any disappointment, and will keep you open to what is meant for you. This is a reminder that your soul and the universe knows what's best and is always guiding you to your highest good.

In my early 20's I had a life-changing coaching session. The coach introduced me to the idea that every emotion can be traced back to the root of either love or fear. This concept has since become a guiding principle in my life. From that time, I made the conscious choice to be led by love, not fear, even when it meant making difficult decisions like leaving my marriage. Your soul will always call you to love - and expansion, joy, fulfilment, peace and connection. It wants to grow and evolve. And hey, fear will still be present when following your soul's calling, but it's important to discern between the fear that helps you grow and the fear that holds you back. So ask yourself - "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" - and consider whether you're being driven by love or fear in your life.

It is almost certain things will work out differently than you expect on the path to your calling. So be prepared to have your preconceived notions challenged and be open to new possibilities. In this episode I share how my own mind has been recently changed. As well another time that I was initially closed off to an opportunity that was meant for me (and that I took and had the best time with!). It's essential to be open-minded and receptive to having your mind changed as you let your soul and the Divine take the lead. Life is full of surprises and opportunities. Trust your intuition, embrace change, and remember that every experience is a stepping stone towards your ultimate calling.

As I look ahead to moving to a new city, I've decided I want a job. And I am going to take you on the journey with me each step of the way. In the past 13 years all the roles I've had were helped along by being in the right place at the right time (hello luck and serendipity!). I have also been offered every job I have interviewed for. I am excited to see where I am being guided and to show you what's possible in your own search for a role that is more fulfilling, creates an impact, pays you want you want and makes you feel like you're exactly where you need to be. Today's episode is the starting point. It's the foundation of the entire process. What would shift in your job search process if you believed the perfect job for you already exists? Not only that it exists, but that your soul knows what it is and the Divine is guiding you each step of the way to connect with it. We attract opportunities that match our vibration.

In part 1 (Ep. #20), I shared some of the dramatic ways change has happened in my life and career after big decluttering processes. Decluttering isn't just about tidying up our physical spaces; it's about clearing out stagnant energy and making room for new possibilities in our lives. It's like giving the universe a green light to send us what we need. In this episode, I update you on what has changed since my last decluttering efforts shared in episode #20, my observations as I assist my mum and stepdad to declutter and a recent experience when a fundraising campaign I was managing was struggling to meet its target (and the surprising influx of $20,000 in the week after I was nudged to declutter and tend to stuck energy). I also share the power of intention and prayer in the decluttering process. By affirming our intention and consciously bringing it into the act of clearing and releasing, you amplify the magic even further. So no matter where you're at, what can you let go of to help you move forwards? Let's find out!

Are you afraid to do something new because you're worried about being a beginner? Or do you hold yourself back out of fear what others will think as you learn and grow in a new role, profession, or endeavour? In this episode, we explore the power of giving yourself permission to start afresh and learn new things. I share feedback from workshop attendees of my recent confidence workshops who found this mindset shift invaluable in overcoming self-doubt and taking action on what they know they're called to do. I also share multiple experiences of landing myself in the land of being a beginner professionally - and how I've lived to tell the tale! Embrace the learning process gorgeous and trust in something greater than yourself - and remember, you are allowed to be a beginner :-) Be Brave - New Program This program is for you if you want support to take courageous actions for your biz, career and impact.

Your calling is a journey and process of growth, discovery and evolution. It's not a fixed destination that you reach then you're done (phew! got my purpose - sorted!). Rather it's a dynamic, non-linear (sometimes nonsensical and messy) ongoing process of exploration. This journey requires you trust in your inner guidance, which will lead you to the next right step (and then the next; and the one after that). I share in this episode how my own journey of finding and following my calling is changing, the shift occurring as I strive less and surrender more, and a deeper level of acceptance and peace I am finding in my journey. I also share how to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Remember, the universe is conspiring in your favour and orchestrating things for you to live your divine plan and purpose. This is one hell of ride - buckle in!

The alternative title to this podcast was "burnout - when you are a dried up sultana with no juice left". As a high achiever with a type-A personality, I have in the past often neglected my own needs for rest and recuperation. Which is supported by societal pressure to constantly move forward at an unsustainable relentless pace. And yet, that kind of pace and pressure leads to burnout. And my soul just ain't up for that anymore. Burnout will leave you feeling exhausted, disillusioned, and detached from work - and life! I share my recent experience of it - and previous bouts of it - and what I've learned in the process. This episode is your invitation to rest, recharge, and seek whatever support you need to relax, enjoy your life more and look after yourself. By prioritising your own wellbeing, your clarity, creativity and a sense of purpose and meaning can emerge when you feel more filled up and less depleted. As you are soul searching and navigating a life of deeper meaning and impact, making choices that are supportive, nourishing, and kind to yourself will ultimately lead you towards your greatest potential.

This is one inspiring conversation with vibrant, proudly neurodiverse, creative artist Leonie Dawson. They have built a $13 million online creative business (working only 10 hours a week), won a host of awards for their biz, and is a prolific philanthropist who leads by example to show up as your authentic, weird, wonderful self. Leonie shares valuable lessons on pursuing what your soul is calling you to do. They show that building a business while working a full-time job is not only possible, but can be a joy. They share how they had the time of their life blogging and creating, while infusing their stale workplace with joy and love. We get real and honest about shifting mindsets, overcoming self-doubt, pursuing creative passions, experiences with loss, the influence of elder women in their life, and the importance of embracing life's challenges and finding meaning in the midst of them. We also discuss philanthropy and the role it plays in Leonie's life, highlighting the importance of giving back (and how much easier it is to do when you are wealthy!). Leonie's story reminds us to pursue what sets our hearts and souls on fire, injecting joy wherever we can, appreciating the preciousness of life, and living life to the fullest. I bloody love this colourful, fun human and all they stand for. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Some of the steps your soul calls you to take may not make logical sense. Trust your intuition and do what feels right to you anyway. Your soul operates on a different level of consciousness than your logical mind. Your soul is connected to your intuition and inner wisdom, which often transcends the limitations of your logical and rational thinking mind. In this episode, I share personal stories of doing what felt right to me, regardless of how illogical they seemed, and what life-changing paths they led me down. They will inspire you to trust yourself and your intuition more, and take actions that are right to you on your soul-led journey.  Unstoppable Confidence - Free Workshop Series I also announce my free upcoming workshop series, "Unstoppable Confidence", to help changemakers, creatives, and leaders step into their full potential and make a bigger difference in the world.

You have loved ones, ancestors and guides on the other side who are with you each step as find and live your true, divine path and calling. They are sending you messages, nudges, signs, and other people to support you all the time!  In this episode, I share two particularly profound experiences of receiving messages/connection with my dad (aka Papa) who died when I was 16 years old. I also share tips on how to open up to receiving messages, and encourage you to ask for clear messages and pay close attention to any signs or nudges you receive. Remember, you are not alone, and your loved ones and guides are always listening and communicating with you in personal and meaningful ways.
