Talks with Jo

HAPPY SOLAR RETURN TO THE PODCAST! It's been exactly one year since I released my very first episode, and here I am at *50* episodes! I am eternally grateful for this project and the support. This will be my season finale, but I promise I will be back. This episode is all about changes and the ~unknown~ and finding excitement in it while allowing life to surprise us (in only the best ways possible).Follow and contact me on social - instagram: talkswithjo *DM me to inquire about a reiki session! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talkswithjo/support

Social media has become such an integral part of our lives - from connecting with others, life updates, finding inspiration, and promoting our personal projects. But with these positives also comes the negatives - from comparing ourselves to others, using "likes" to dictate our worth, and the addiction that comes from it. With all things, we must find a balance. On this episode, Nicole comes back on the show (she's finally home from Japan!!) to discuss social media with me and how it has affected us.

I know we've all experienced it: imposter syndrome - when you doubt your own abilities and accomplishments and continuously feel like a fraud. But I promise you, you are not a fraud and you deserve to be celebrated for your successes. On this episode, I speak on my most recent experience of imposter syndrome and how I'm currently working to overcome it.

Have you ever wondered what you can expect from a reiki session? What happens during reiki anyway? Ann received her very first session with me at the beginning of the year, and since then, she still finds it impactful. I'm super happy to have her join this episode to share about her reiki experience! She describes the sensations she felt, the visions she received, her state of mind before, during, and after the session - and of course, so much more.

Happy New Moon in Leo! Time to open that Lion's Gate portal and go out there with the upmost confidence that you can achieve and have everything you desire! Even better, take that leap of faith in the quantum realm and *know* that you already have it. But first, let's overcome that belief that it's impossible for us to have what we want. On this episode, I talk about all the things I believed are impossible for me and reframing it into "it's possible."

What is kundalini yoga? And how is it different from all the other hatha yoga classes that we're familiar with? On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Mandeep, the founder of The Kundalini Kollective in Las Vegas. We talked about the meaning of "kundalini" and the practice of waking up this energy to reconnect to our true selves. Mandeep is so full of knowledge, and I learned so much from recording this episode, so I hope you guys do too!

How many times have we dimmed our own light for the sake of someone else's comfort? How many times were we afraid to speak our own truth in fear of losing someone we admire?

You guys are in for a treat! This is my absolute *favorite* topic that I am constantly talking and learning about. I invited back Nikki, a fellow astrology hobbyist, to talk about how we resonate with our charts - from retrogrades, transits, tropical and sidereal systems, and more. Plus, we give some insights on how our Saturn Return is treating us so far. *Disclaimer: we are not professional or licensed astrologers; we just love astrology!

The past few weeks have invited me to rethink my idea of safety... safe in my own skin... safe to be myself around others... fear of being judged... reacting to how others choose to treat me... yes all of it. But like everything, safety starts within. On this episode, I talk about how easily it is to compare ourselves to others and take things personally. Once we are liberated from these cycles, then we can fully embrace who we are fully and authentically.

I am guilty of claiming myself as "old" - truly believing there are certain things I cannot do anymore because I've reached a certain age, but the fact of the matter is... I'm only 27 with years and years of unlived experiences ahead of me. On this episode, I talk about shifting my perspective on my own age and trusting in my own timeline.

How often do we put others before ourselves? How often do we give our power away and allow others to sit in the driver seat of our emotions? We are powerful worthy beings, and we need to always remember that. On this solo episode, I touch on the message I received from Spirit and how I related it to self love, personal power, and worthiness.

We uncover so much when we decide to do the shadow ~work~! On this episode, Mecca E11even—a third generation intuitive medium, healer, and spiritual mentor—joins me on the show to talk all about the getting in touch with your inner child and shadow self to heal and release the deepest emotional parts of ourselves.

The massive spike in anti-Asian hate crimes has prompted intense fear, anger, sadness, and frustration within the Asian and Asian American community. Today, I invited Kiersten and Krystal onto the show to talk about our Asian American experiences. We discussed the "model minority" myth, microaggressions, Asian representation in entertainment and media, our families' path to the US, and so much more. This was a very important episode to record as our stories are seldom taught in history books. To the AAPI community - lets continue to share our experiences, amplify our voices, and take action towards change.

Time to clear our sacral chakras and get in tune with our creative selves! When we create art, we get into the "zone" - whether that's painting, writing, performing, or even cooking.

It's not always rainbows, unicorns, and butterflies on the other side of a spiritual awakening... It's about the awareness of our own thoughts and emotions while in the human experience. We are meant to feel what needs to be felt, not resist or avoid it. On this episode, I talk about toxic positivity and how it relates to spirituality in the terms of "spiritual bypassing" and how we can all shift to a more supportive or validating approach.

Happy Fool's Day! I found it fitting today to talk a little about the first Major Arcana card in a standard tarot deck. "The Fool" is full of excitement and optimism and is pretty much blind to the obstacles ahead. I relate this to my own journey and how it led me to "The Magician" - the second card in the Major Arcana.

What is a belief or ongoing thought you have that's been holding you back? Have you been putting up your walls fearing what's outside the "comfort zone"?

You are more powerful than you think. I'm not talking about "psychic" as in being able to predict the future or talking to deceased loved ones (however, this very much could be you too), I'm talking about "psychic" in relation to your intuition.

Music isn't just something we hear; it's something we feel, and because of that, it's emotionally transformative in so many ways. From Tupac, Kanye West, Mac Miller, Drake, and even Taylor Swift - they are all telling stories and expressing experiences we can relate to.

Before the outside influences, tough experiences... we had dreams, we had desires, and we were unafraid because we believed in our own potential. That inner child is still within us... waiting to be nurtured, heard, embraced, and healed. Only then can we begin to trust the miracles and magic that we once believed in when we were younger.

The roles have been reversed! Kela has been on the show as a guest a few times and he had the idea to be the host of this episode to ask me all the insightful questions, and it's only fitting that it's my birthday.

As we learned in the Disney Pixar movie, Soul, the purpose of life is to find the beauty in living. But what if we have this crazy dream to accomplish something that feels so out of reach that we talk ourselves out of starting or convince ourselves to quit in the midst of starting? On this episode, my friend Ben joins me to talk all about getting out of your own way to move towards your higher purpose and work with your spark to do what you love.

I thought I'd do something different and fun for the first episode of 2021. I remember at the beginning of last year, I got SO many readings from so many different people because I wanted so badly to know what my 2020 was going to look like (none of which mentioned a massive pandemic by the way). What I learned from this is that there's magic in the mystery, but also benefits from the guidance. On this episode, I shed some light on what collective energies to expect in 2021 with a mini reading. Cards Pulled: 1 - Biggest lessons of 2020 that you are leaving behind: 5 of Swords 2 - Overall theme for 2021: 2 of Swords 3 - The lesson that will be addressed and overcome in the upcoming year: 7 of Cups 4 - What blessing will be most prominent in 2021: The Chariot (reversed) Oracle - 8th House: Endings & Beginnings *Be kind as I am only a beginner lol.

HAPPY LAST EPISODE OF 2020. Thank you for all your support this year. I'm excited to continue this project in 2021. My podcast is a Virgo, and I love that for her. She's all about growth and expansion. Home is where the heart is, but it's not always a physical location. Most of the time, it's a feeling within. On this episode, one of my dearest friends, Nicole, and I chat about her experiences living alone in Japan and developing a relationship with yourself when you're thousands of miles away from the people you love, especially during the midst of the pandemic and the holidays.

When we are born, what do we inherit from our families? Maybe we have our dad's nose or our mom's smile. Yes, we get all of that... but also, we get their unhealed emotional wounds.

Practicing presence is hard since the past is screaming to be acknowledged and the future is incredibly overwhelming. And practicing acceptance is even harder especially after trauma. But what I found is that even though situations can be hard, it's typically worth your while.
