Wealth And Purpose Podcast with Patty Lennon

Today Patty is breaking down and answering the question “How do I know what I'm being guided to do?” She shares her own journey, and gives herself as an example, all with the goal of helping you go through a time of so many shifts and changes. While we may be full of uncertainties, doubts, and fear, this episode will guide you through what those mean, and what to do when you feel them. “Most of the pain, discomfort, and suffering we get when something uncomfortable is happening has to do with our mind fighting it.” -Patty Lennon To receive guidance and be able to understand it, here are three things you should do: Ask for guidance and be ready to receive it. Expect to receive and pay attention to the signs.  Work on your own intuitive communication.   “You may not always know for sure that you're going in the right direction, but if you're going on the wrong direction, it's going to be really obvious.” -Patty Lennon In the middle of this time of uncertainty, it's crucial to place your trust in your inner knowing and follow its lead. Embrace the entire journey – the beautiful and the challenging – and trust that every place you are being led to is in service to you and is a part of your growth.

In this episode, Patty explores a common struggle that we all go through at some point -surrendering. Surrender – the act of letting go – holds us in a vulnerability that can be terrifying. You're having to go of something that's important to you, that you love, and give unwavering trust.  Today, we're delving into the heart of surrender and exploring:  What does it mean to surrender?  Why do we need to surrender?  What happens after we surrender?    You can choose resistance over surrender, but resistance will lead you to more discomfort and difficulties. Sometimes, life keeps pushing us until we finally find ourselves with no other choice but to let go of control and surrender to the greater flow.  “On the other side of surrender is a deep sea of faith and peace.” -Patty Lennon  Listen in to understand more about surrender, and hopefully, this can make the process easier for you.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We find ourselves in the middle of a temporary yet significantly transformative phase, with condensed potential for evolution and alignment. You might notice that things are no longer supportive of your evolution and commitment, and a lot of your established systems and beliefs may no longer feel true. While these shifts are a good thing, they can feel really extreme.  In this episode, we're discussing the vital messages that have been coming through that could offer us valuable guidance during this intense period.  Here's what we're focusing on in this episode:  The pain you're experiencing is temporary.  False systems will start revealing their true nature to you.  Discernment is your most powerful tool.    “Allow yourself to know what you know. And also allow yourself to accept what you don't know and take the steps to become informed.” -Patty Lennon  Remember that this is a temporary, necessary period. As you navigate through this phase, you may find the truths you seek and peace in your heart. Always remember, that divine presence is by your side.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're diving into a topic that we all encounter at some point in our lives: that feeling of everything coming apart at the seams. It can be unsettling when it seems like our world is unraveling. But this might just be a sign that a system in your life has run its course, and it's time to make a brave move.  “As long as the system supports evolution and supports humanity at some level, and humanity buys in, the architecture remains in place.” -Patty Lennon  This can be a really confusing time. We outgrow the structures that we knew. The strengths we had are no longer working. The worldviews we believed in no longer resonate with us. It forces us to make an important decision: do we cling to the familiarity of what we know, or do we step out into the unknown? Although the choice might feel difficult, in reality, we often find ourselves with no other option but to embrace change.  In this difficult time, here are three things to help keep you going:  Be okay with not knowing.  Let go and surrender.   Know that you are okay.    It's okay to feel like things are falling apart. Embrace the uncertainty, for it may lead to unexpected growth and new possibilities. Trust in the journey and believe in your resilience as you step forward into the unknown. Remember that you've got this.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Karma is often understood as the deserving return of things you have done, often in the negative aspect. As in, if you do something bad, something bad will happen to you. But there's more to it than that. We need to remember that when we borrow teachings from different languages and cultures, some of the true meaning can get lost in translation. When Patty talks about karma and karmic relationships, she's referring to the flow of events where we get to examine our life after we move beyond this realm and go beyond the veil. It's an opportunity for us to see how our actions have impacted others and experience the consequences from their perspective. “Karma is not just bad. It's the balance of all things. And when we put that out, ultimately it's going to return to us.” -Patty Lennon As we prepare for our next life, our souls have this desire to absorb or take in the pain and negativity we have caused in this lifetime. How that plays out in our future lives can vary. We might directly experience what we've inflicted, or perhaps we'll be connected to those who have received that pain, either through work or relationships. These karmic wounds from our past actions manifest as patterns and behaviors that no longer serve us in this lifetime.  “Forgiveness holds the seeds to freedom.” -Patty Lennon Here's the key to freeing ourselves from this cycle: forgiveness. Dealing with our karmic wounds and releasing the ties to our past selves starts with forgiveness. We need to find a way to make amends for who we were before. We don't have to spend the rest of our lives trying to make up for our past actions. If you're ready to break free from guilt and doubt and experience deep peace, possibility, and prosperity, Patty has a 5-step program that can help you on this journey. It's time to clear those karmic patterns and create a brighter future. Relevant Links: Unleash Your Magic Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The show just hit the 4-year anniversary! Thanks for being here on this journey.    Today Patty is talking about the 5th rule of receiving. Do your 100%. This is often the hardest step for many of us. We often feel like we need to do it all. Our 100% and more.   Anytime we set out to achieve a goal or accomplish something there is a gap. We usually know how to do some of what we need to get to the desire result, but not all of it. Sometimes the gap is significant. We might not know what we don't know.   Hear how the gap showed up for Patty when she was in the process of eliminating debt. She did what she knew to do like reducing expenses and making more in her business. She did her 100% but she knew that her efforts (alone) were not going to be enough to pay off the debt they already incurred. That's where she had to allow the Divine to step in.  This happens in everyday moments as well. We can often become so focused on getting things done all on our own we don't allow for the Universe to provide help beyond our 100%.  Hear how you can tell when you efforts may be exceeding your 100%. This is one of the things that the Magic Lounge members ask about most often. What does doing your 100% look like?   Patty breaks this down and explains how you can figure out where your effort end and the Universe begins. She also points out where you may be avoiding your 100% because it's hard or requires courage over fear. That happens to all of us, but it's not the same as over-efforting. Hear how to determine the difference.   Remember, the Universe is a consistent force. It is not related to your local economy, our personal circumstances, or any other outside factors.   Lastly, allowing the Divine to help you can feel hard. The more you allow, the safer and more grounded you will feel. It's worth the effort.   “I assure you the Divine is here for you.”   Resources:   Make Space for Magic book   Join the Magic Lounge  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grief and loss are inevitable parts of the human experience, and while we all encounter them at some point in our lives, our individual journeys through grief can each look different. However, one common aspect of grief is its stickiness. One instance of grief often brings front and center other unresolved emotions and past losses to the surface.   “When our hearts are breaking and breaking open, the metaphysical world, our team, swoops in to make sure we know we are not alone.” -Patty Lenon  In this heartfelt episode, Patty shares her recent encounter with grief, loss, and joy, and how these experiences, though heartbreaking, can also be profoundly beautiful and infused with magic.  Here are three powerful truths about grief that can provide solace and support during challenging times:  Joyful beginnings can coexist with grief and loss.  What we acknowledge, embrace, and express grows in our lives.  The more we seek magic, the closer it comes to us.    If you're going through an ending, and it's taking a lot from you, know that you're also feeling all the other endings that are not yet fully processed. And if you're going through a joyful beginning, and it's accompanied by feelings of grief and loss, remember that it can be because it's still attached to other endings.   If you need help processing your own experiences of grief, or if you want to better recognize and remember the magic happening in your life, you can use The Space for Magic Journal as your guide.   Relevant Links:  The Space for Magic Journal  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this short and sweet episode, we'll answer the question of identifying when to let go and when to push through. There are different signs that let us know what we have to do, and it's just a matter of taking the time to see and recognize them.  “Just because you're taking a little bit longer to accept the call of freedom in your life doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong. You're on a journey.” -Patty Lennon  Maybe you already know what you have to do, but you're just not quite ready to do it. You may need to practice the process or acquaint yourself with the thought. That's a part of a process and one that you have to go through.  In this episode, we'll help you answer:  How do I recognize what I need to do?  How can I make these difficult decisions?  What should I do when I need help?    No matter what it is that you need to do, or the decisions you need to make, remember that letting go is a journey. Finding the strength to keep moving is a journey. No matter where you might be on this road, know that it's okay. You're okay where you are. So be kind to yourself and give yourself the space to go through your journey.  Relevant Links:  Prayer of Light  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, we're continuing our discussion about help from the other side of the veil. Today we're talking about our Council of Elders. Returning to the show is Patty's good friend and mentor, Deana Paqua.  Deana is a teacher and practitioner of cross-cultural energy medicine, contemporary shamanism, a reiki master teacher, licensed massage therapist, family herbalism practitioner, flower essence practitioner, ordained minister, and certified tarot reader.  “One of the greatest gifts I've discovered is the more help, the better.” - Deana Paqua  In this episode Deana shares:  What is the Council of Elders?  Who can we have on our Council?  How can we meet our Council?    We want to encourage you to connect with your own council. They can help you and guide you in so many ways, like through a time of transition and change. They provide wisdom that you might not have access to otherwise.  “Our own ancestors, even our past life ancestors, they are the spirits that really want us to succeed the most.” - Deana Paqua  While it would be helpful to have someone guide you through meeting your Council, you don't need anyone else to be able to work with them. You can do it yourself as long as you're open to it. Set the intention. Take the time to clear yourself, your space, and your mind. Pay attention to everything around you, and you'll see the signs and messages being left for you.  Relevant Links:  Unleash Your Magic: two-day live virtual event  Energy Upgrade Program  Connect with Deana Paqua:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating realm of spirit guides. Our guest, Whitney McNeill shares her extensive knowledge and guides us through this topic. Whitney is a Certified Medium, Reiki Master-Teacher, and Spiritual Mentor. She's the owner of the 6-figure business Messenger of Spirit, and has developed her own program called the Intuition Abundance Academy. Through her signature framework, the 4 Intuitive Languages™, she empowers her students to tap into their intuitive guidance and make aligned decisions toward their life purpose. “Our guides do know what we need to do. They're there to help us. We just need to lean into that trust.” - Whitney McNeill The topic of spirit guides comes with a lot of questions. Here are three that Whitney answers in this episode: How do we recognize our spirit guides? How do we talk to our spirit guides? How do we start a relationship with our spirit guides? Spirit guides come as helpers with an understanding of what it means to be human. They're there to guide us, give us a nudge in the right direction, and offer help in various ways. Because they know what it's like to be human, they have more human characteristics and personalities. A lot of times, especially when we're just starting to intentionally communicate with our guides, it can be difficult to differentiate our own thoughts from the words of our guides. We tend to doubt ourselves and the messages we're receiving. This episode can be your starting point to help you navigate these questions and uncertainties. “The more you train your energy to recognize the subtleties of energy, the easier it's going to be for you.” - Whitney McNeill For additional resources, you can take Whitney's Intuitive Language Quiz and check out her Oracle cards. These valuable tools can enhance your ability to communicate with your guides and deepen your spiritual connection.  Relevant Links: Quiz - What's Your Intuitive Language®?  Messenger of Spirit Oracle Cards Connect with Whitney McNeill: Website Facebook Instagram YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, Patty is talking about hope. And Inspiration.  Hope is the belief that there is something better than where we are right now. Hope sustains us through the dark and the storms. “If there's no hope, there's nothing to reach for.” -Patty Lennon When we are making space for magic, we know that there's a gap from where we are to where we want to be. We can't get there on our own. It's the Divine magic that helps us get there.  There is a universal force of love that's always working on our behalf. Sometimes, hope starts to feel like a risk. When that happens, disappointment has become toxic. Your brain is linking disappointment to danger.  That's not our truth and we have so much in our lives that can help us see that for ourselves.  What can you do right now to start to change things for yourself? Honor who you are right now and what you are feeling. Remove those things that are no longer lifting you up. Choose one positive step forward. “Hope needs to feel safe. Inspiration needs to feel exciting.” - Patty Lennon If you feel like you need a reset, if you know it's time to shake off the indecision that has built up over the last few years and free yourself, join me for the live event Unleash your Magic.  You'll walk away feeling grounded, clear, and ready to take action on the dreams you have waiting deep inside your soul.

Over the past few episodes, we've talked about feeling stuck, or lost, or not having a clue about where you're going. When you feel this way, it's important to remember that you're not. You are on track. These experiences are simply a part of the experience of going through a transformation.  “A lot of times because we don't know the answers and our brain feels confused, we'll conclude that we've lost our way.” -Patty Lennon  In times like these, the archangels are a powerful source of guidance for when you feel anything: inspired, lost, scared, or confused. There are many archangels, and here's how I relate to some of them and ask for their help:  Archangel Michael is the guardian of light who helps me dissolve energy cords.  Archangel Raphael is the one who helps me with my health.  Archangel Gabriel helps me know my truth and speak my truth with love.  Archangel Jophiel is the one I turn to for beauty.  Archangel Metatron uses sacred geometry to clear my chakras each morning.    In this episode, I'll guide you even deeper to the way I relate to each of these archangels and ask for their help. I'll also guide you on how you can ask for their help as well.  “The archangels don't require complicated, difficult processes to work with them.” -Patty Lennon   Your way of communicating with the archangels may be different from the way I do it. You'll discover what works best for you, and how you relate to the archangels can be in a different role. But it doesn't have to be a detailed, complicated practice. It can be simple and straightforward. We're all in a position to benefit from the support of these powerful beings, and you can get that for yourself.  Relevant Links:  Live Event: Unleash Your Magic  Prayer for Peace   Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is a continuation of the conversation from episode 242 on what to do when we're feeling lost. When we feel like we don't know what to do, or we've lost our purpose, it all comes from feeling like we're not enough. In this episode, Patty leads the discussion on why we sometimes feel like we're not enough, what it stems from, and how we can move past it.  This belief was taught to us from the time we were born by the people and experiences around us, whether they were aware of it or not. Every time we were told that our desire was unworthy, every time something goes wrong or gets taken away from us, in our minds it translates to “I'm not enough,” or “I'm not worthy.”  “Constantly looking for how things could go wrong pulls you away from possibility, hope, and potential.” -Patty Lennon  Here's three things you can do to overcome this false belief:  Re-engage what we know to be true.  Notice how much you already know what to do.  Let go of the worry.    This episode is a reminder of this doubt we all share, and that it's possible to get over this, and get better. Remember that as you live, you're living your purpose.  Learn how to stop second-guessing yourself and rediscover where you're meant to be.  “If you knew you were enough, you've done enough, and had enough within you to accomplish every desire you had, what would change?” -Patty Lennon  Relevant Links:  Live Masterclass: How to Find and Embrace Your Soul's Purpose  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Patty shares her own experience of having something physical deliver the message that you need to hear from the Spirit or the Divine, and how this led to her making the Oracle Card Deck. She shares how this deck has been helpful for her in delivering messages she needed to hear and be reminded of when she was going through her time in the desert.   Patty also highlights the anchors of the deck, the cards that she knew would be included when she decided to make these cards, sharing the process of designing each one, and what message she wishes to share with them. These cards contain the key pieces of information we need as we're navigating the world as a soul in this human condition.  Here are some of the cards and their core message:  Sword of Truth - telling yourself the truth can be difficult, but it makes it easier to take action.  Receive - the truth and the guidance you are getting.   Let go – you're not responsible for everything in your life, and sometimes you need to stop trying to control your situation and let the divine take over.   Allow - every time something leaves, something else will come in. Sometimes, you need to stop fighting what's happening and allow what will happen in your life.  Pity party – it's important to acknowledge the difficult times and moments when you struggle. Sometimes, you just need to honor what's happening and take care of yourself.  Hope - this is key when you're going through a difficult time, because you don't know what's going to happen. You need hope to sustain you to keep moving forward.    This Oracle Card Deck contains messages just for you, to guide you through different times in your life. When you purchase the Oracle Card Deck, you'll get a bonus training that will help you understand how to use the deck.  Relevant Links:  The Space for Magic Oracle Card Deck  What's your Secret Soul Power?

Today Patty is talking to us about the desert. This refers to the periods of time when you have been feeling lost or abandoned, questioning your purpose, or when you're disconnected from your spiritual anchor.  Patty breaks down what the desert is really about, why periods of feeling low exist, how to navigate this time, and find some inspiration along the way. She shares her own journey through her desert, how she ended up in this space, her struggles, the lessons she learned, and how she arrived at the other end.  Here's three things to do while you're in the middle of the desert:  Turn towards spirit, the divine, your own soul, or your spirit guides and do things that will sustain you spiritually  Take inspired action and keep on putting one foot in front of the other  Rest.    “If you knew that everything you were worried about was going to work out for the highest good and the highest good of all, what would change for you?” -Patty Lennon  If you're going through your own desert, know that this is a time for you to learn and reconnect. Go through what you need to do while you're there, and take encouragement in the reminder that others have gone through this, and so can you.  Relevant Links:  What's your Secret Soul Power?

Patty shares a how-to in this episode. She's breaking down her personal journaling method that only takes 5 minutes. She hasn't always journaled, and it wasn't her favorite thing to do. Maybe you can relate. That's why she developed her 5-minute method and practice. She explains how the things we track expand. There's science around why that happens. It's not just a theory. That's why this concept (tracking the things we want more of) is used in all types of applications. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode is about Patty's new Oracle Card Deck. She is pulling back the curtain and sharing why and how her deck came to be. Like always, Patty followed her heart and inspiration on this special project. She joined forces with Erica, her graphic designer, to help with the visual style and look of the cards. She explained that making sure they were both on the same page when it came to the overall vision for the deck was key. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Patty explains what oracle cards are and how they differ from tarot cards. It's important to know that every oracle card deck is different based on what the creator intended. There is usually a guidebook where the author provides insights for you. She outlines how oracle cards build brain strength. While the card decks are often used for inspiration that is not the only application. What you might not know is that each deck is created for different purposes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever wondered how the Patty of today, the intuitive magic-embracing mom got here? She hasn't always been intuitive, (well, she was but she didn't know it for a long time) and she certainly wasn't using words like magic and Divine. Meditating was what others did and an oracle card reading? She'd never heard of such a thing. This episode is part reflection and part transformation. How can changes happen for you?

Does hunting for signs from the universe work? That's the topic for today's episode. Patty shares why hunting isn't as effective as receiving and how to shift from looking to seeing. First, she breaks down what she means by signs – what they are and how they show up. General signs – These signs show up and mean the same thing for all of us. Pennies from heaven is one of the examples she shares. Personal signs – These signs are specific and personal to you. It's meaningful for you because of the context involved. Chosen signs – This is when you ask for something specific to show up in your awareness to resolve doubt and receive requested assurance. Next, she addresses the brain science around seeing and receiving signs. Our brain often works against our ability to receive. Patty shares why this is and how you can recognize when your brain is trying to keep you from seeing them. The Universe always answers our requests, but we often discount what we see or miss the signs completely. Hear how you can recognize the way this pattern shows up for you and how to stay open. The only thing for you to do is to receive the sign. How do we allow this? Patty shares great examples to help you do this for yourself. Breathe and slow down your nervous system. Affirm what we know to be true. Practice letting go. If it feels okay to you to share what you are looking for, then it can be possible for others to see the sign that's meant for you. The examples Patty shares will show you how someone else may see your sign to help you receive it.

Patty is explaining the one change that must happen if you want to become fluent in spirit communication. That includes accessing your spirit guides, loved ones and others when you need them. This change will also help you understand the guidance you receive and trust the messages that come through. You don't have to have special gifts or see visons or hear voices. It really is for everyone. Hear how Patty received guidance about creating The Intuitive Immersion and postponing the previously planned session of The Receiving School. The key thing that you need know and master is consistency. Fluency takes practice, and consistent effort. Like learning a new language, understanding your spiritual messages takes a practiced form of immersion. Context matters as well. Think about the whole story of the things in your life where guidance is requested. Your answers can be nuanced too based on where you are in the process. When you have a conversation with your spirit team each day, you can begin to better understand those messages. That's what Patty will focus on teaching you within the Intuitive Immersion course. Here's something you can try: for 14 days write down your question and the answers you receive. Track it daily. You may get messages through other people, or on social media or a variety of methods. 15 minutes a day. Write the question, collect the data. Stay consistent to being open with your communication. Welcome the messages each day and see how things unfold. If you want training and support, you are invited to join The Intuitive Immersion and you can take advantage of the significant discount offered for this first-ever experience.

Patty is sharing on this episode how to connect to your spirit guides, angels, and your loved ones. This process, the actual how-to, is one of the questions she is asked most often, followed up by: how do I know if the communication is right? First, some definitions for terms that Patty is using today. Spirit guides have incarnated. They have been human and have experienced life on earth. They understand the challenges we have in human world. They are here to guide us at a soul level. Angels have never incarnated so they have a different perspective. They are much more concerned with protecting us, physically and spiritually also at a soul level. Loved ones who send us messages may not necessarily be a guide. Hear how Patty breaks down the difference as she understands it. It's important to understand this this takes some time. The nuance that Patty has now developed over time. The best way to gain clarity and nuance is spending time learning how to establish these connections. The 4 Steps Step One – Clear your environment. You can do this by physically removing clutter or spending time in nature. Energetic clearing is important as well. Patty shares 3 easy methods for energetic clearing. Step Two – Connect to yourself. Breath work is one way to connect with yourself. Patty reminds us that understanding that we're also divine and have our own wisdom which will help us stay connected. Step Three – Request. Patty also shares how you can ask for help, and the best way to ask for answers. She removes the mystery from this part of the process. Step Four – Receive the answers. Receiving is about both listening when messages come through, and developing the discernment so you can trust yourself and the answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Patty shares how she's been called to her inner home. It's showing up in a few different ways. For her, it's a mix of missing in person connections and a strong aversion to the virtual experiences. We are being guided to learn and re-learn what we came here to do. Rarely is growth a straight line. There will always be times when we experience flow and things show up easily and other times when we feel like inspiration and guidance has left us. She explains how we can open up to the Divine for answers. Sometimes we have to be reminded to make a shift in perspective or to see the new path that's possible. Here are 2 questions that may be helpful to you. Where can I invite help? What else is possible that I'm dismissing? Patty also shares that we often want answers to show up from outside ourselves, in a concrete way. That's normal. We often trust outside answers, but the most definitive guidance is going to come from your heart. Start there and look for solutions in partnership with other sources available to you. Our guides are here to show us the way, not to give us answers. Give them permission to help you and they will. Don't forget that our shadow side is always with us as well. Recognize what's there so it can heal as well. Be kind and gentle to yourself and know you are loved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What do you need to do right now to feel safe? If you are struggling to make a decision, this question is a good place to start. Patty explains that this advice has come through for multiple people. She also shares why this advice may be showing up to more often. Are you always the grown up? If you feel that you're always the one to make the hard decision or find yourself over-giving this episode is for you! Pay attention to what's showing up. Do you feel the desire to take a day off or to go do something just for fun? Listen to your inner child or teenager who needs some attention. Get a Receiving School update. Patty also shares her creative ideas but for now, she's letting them show up and is keeping track of them without taking action. Stay in touch so you get the word about what's next. She's planning an experience (virtual) and possibly an in-person event as well. If you are looking for something to allow in more abundance to help create balance remove those things in life that don't bring you joy. Embrace downtime and pay attention to what makes you happy and brings you balance. Magic Lounge - https://patty-lennon.mykajabi.com/the-magic-lounge Learn more about your ad choices.

How do we become co-creators with the universe? Our journey is varied and filled with opportunity. Often, we feel capable of the doing part of things and with Patty's help, we are also becoming better at receiving as well. What do you do when you've created an unspoken (or often unconscious) contract and it stops working? What do you do when you're making progress and a roadblock shows up? That's what Patty breaks down in today's episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's podcast is about parenting. Patty is sharing her philosophy specifically as it relates to the 100% rule. As a mom, knowing when she's done her 100% and surrendering the rest is something she continues to work on. If you are a mom (or dad) you already understand that you can't parent all kids the same way. Different kids need different guidance and support and that's true for Patty too. Let children see for themselves what is possible. It's important that as a parent you accept your child as they are. This has opened up space with both kids, by creating awareness of what's possible and allowing them to share how Patty can best support them. “You know that you're doing more than your 100% when you feel like you are pushing a boulder up a hill.” Most of the time when we get to the 100% space and it's time to let go, we feel fear. The illusion of control is what makes us feel strong, so letting go and bring up all kinds of doubts. Remember, the Divine loves your kids and has their back. They have their own helpers in life just like we do. When it's time to surrender (after doing your 100%) remember that others can and will step in to help. Hear how to fully let go, understanding it's for your highest good. This is the part that trips us up the most. When we see our child hurting because they've made a bad decision or are struggling to choose differently, it brings pain to us as parents. That's a good time to look at the pain to see if it's about more than what is happening with your child. When you heal something in yourself, it helps everyone in your family. Everything that happens can be something that leads to helping your kids and helping yourself. Resources: Get Patty's guide to help you see the signs! Learn more about your ad choices.

In my book, Make Space for Magic I talk about the law of attraction and how it can be somewhat toxic. There have been horrible events recently and in the Magic Lounge we've had comments and questions about people “attracting” violence or harmful situations. Is that really a thing? Additionally, the next thought process is: if they attracted their situation, then is okay or acceptable for us to look away? There are a lot of beliefs around this which is why in this epiode, I'm sharing what I believe and how I've come to understand this for myself. My hope is that it clears up some misunderstandings and gives you a new perspective on this often mis-understood concept. Using the law of attraction to impact our ability to change our vibration with our thoughts, can only happen when we are not in “fight or flight” mode. People in disadvantaged communities or in an unsafe environment, don't have the ability to raise their vibration to relieve their circumstances. What if these people are in these circumstances so that others (like you and I) have the chance to help them? Fundamentally I do believe that we are here to play a part in the larger community when opportunities are present. If we want to use the law of attraction to keep from looking at the pain of others, it's often from a place of fear. The fear of other's pain, and the fear that we have when we don't know how to help or feel powerless can keep us in a place removed from love. It isn't our job to “save” others, but it can be our responsibility to be an ally. Where do you feel called to help? You may be the person who can aid someone else to move out of fear so they can see their own potential. Did I attract this? If you are feeling blame or shame around your circumstances, wondering if you've invited this into your life, I invite you to look at it as something to be released. When I embraced my debt (for example) and stopped resisting I was finally able to begin to release it from my life. You can get more insights on my personal journey around this in the book, Make Space for Magic.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, Patty talks with one of her good friends, Miriam Schulman. She is an artist and the founder of The Inspiration Place, where she helps other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, she has helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. Her signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from "so-so" sales to sold-out collections. Miriam grew up in poverty, and with the decision to make money as a motivating factor, she worked at a Wallstreet hedgefund. She shares her experience working there, the mafia-esque culture, and being surrounded by “big swinging dicks of Wallstreet.” While working there, she had a nagging sense that there has to be something more to life, and how that eventually led to her being a self-described working artist. In this episode, Miriam shares stories revolving around her new book ARTPRENEUR: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity: how our fears and sense of self-preservation can hinder ourselves, utilizing her brain's neurodivergence as a superpower, and the power of belief structured around Miriam's very own “Belief Triad.” Miriam and Katie also discuss the hero's journey, and how it's each our own journey: in the process of discovering ourselves, we start with a comfortable safe place, then receive “the call” and eventually reach the point of no return. This episode is a fun conversation on the life of an artist, shifting mindsets, and relatable stories that will make you think about your own journey.

Did you know that everyone is born with intuitive gifts? It's true. Today's episode is all about understanding the types of gifts that exist. It will help you recognize your own! Patty shares what the gifts are, and how you can learn to tap into them in your life. If you are one of those people who isn't aware of your gifts or think you don't have any at all, it's likely that you are blocking them. The key reason they are blocked is because we think they need to show up in a particular way and when they show up differently, we don't acknowledge them. Our brains are wired to block out what it can't see/hear/taste or feel with our 5 physical senses. The most common intuitive gifts: Clairvoyance – seeing what's not there. Clairaudience – audibly hearing messages. Clairsentience – feeling the feelings (energetically) of others. Claircognizance – knowing things that you haven't researched or been taught. Clairalience – knowledge by means of scent and smell. Clairgustance -The ability to taste a substance without putting it in your mouth. The value of these gifts and knowing how to tap into them is to make decisions that are help you and serve your highest good. Patty explains how to tap into your gifts – even if you aren't sure you have what yours are. This is a powerful episode and will give you the insights and ability to recognize and access your own intuitive gifts. Join the Facebook Group Learn more about your ad choices.

Even when things are going well, we need time to rest. Especially after these past 2 years. This is the time we meant to hibernate. That might be why jumping into new things and embracing fresh starts might not be resonating with you. Patty is talking through about how to manage January in the way that best fits you. If “new year, new you” makes you cringe, or makes you feel like you aren't keeping up, this episode is for you. Honor that this may not be the time for you to be in planning mode. Pay attention to what feels right for you. Hear how this showed up for Patty and how she's getting clear about what is true for her. You can use this same process as well. Remember that messages come from either love or fear. Trust your feelings and allow space for you to decide what's right for you. Allow yourself to know what you know. Trust that what your soul is sharing with you is exactly what you need right now. It's also okay to honor the losses in your life, no matter how insignificant (or significant) it feels. Take a beat and say goodbye and shed a tear or have a laugh as you leave what no longer serves you behind. Here's to January energy that works for you. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever felt like you were resisting things that you know you want? In 2020 when lots of other forms of comfort were not available to us, many people turned to food. Patty shares why she decided to pursue the cleanse and the difference from past cleanses. Many of us go into the new year with the anticipation of change or a new beginning in a key area of our lives. We run the risk of focusing so much on one particular goal that we ignore other areas.

In this short and sweet episode, Patty talks about hibernation. With the Winter Solstice approaching the Northern Hemisphere, the season of hibernation is also approaching.  Hibernation could mean different things to different people, and it isn't necessarily winter that always calls it forward. It could be brought after a period of big energy, or the completion of a project, or something else that brings the need to go inward, go quiet and replenish your energy. No matter what hibernation may look like for you, it's a good and beautiful tool. It's a wonderful way to create space for magic.  Patty also gives news about the podcast.

Have you ever felt like you can't keep up with the constant flow of information and stimulation in the world? If so, you're not alone. In this fast-paced, constantly connected world, it's easy to get overwhelmed and even burn out. But what if there was a way to find calm during the chaos? What if there was a way to find meaning and purpose in a world that often feels meaningless? Enter Mark Hawkins. In his research, Mark focuses on interdisciplinary understandings of meaning and purpose as they relate to human wellbeing. He is the author of The Power of Why: Boredom is Essential for Creating a Meaningful Life and The Mismatched Human: Our Fight for Meaningful Existence. In this episode, Mark shares his insights on the importance of boredom in finding meaning and purpose in our lives. He also offers tips on how to create space for boredom in our constantly connected world. If you're feeling lost or adrift in the world, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to create a more meaningful life.  1. Allow yourself to be bored as a way of reducing the amount of engagement that our brain is getting.  This can be done by simply staring into space or looking at magazines instead of looking at a screen when you have free time. Doing this on a regular basis can help you to find more meaning in your life and to better understand your own thoughts and emotions.  2. Boredom is a space for reflection, for finding meaning and purpose.  It can be a difficult emotion to deal with, as it can bring up a lot of fears and anxieties. However, it can help us get to know ourselves better.  3. Boredom can help us to experience the things that have meaning in our life and identify the ones that aren't as meaningful.   This means sitting with the restlessness and discomfort that boredom brings up, and acclimatizing ourselves to it. Doing this on a regular basis can help us to find more sustainable meaning in our lives, rather than always chasing the new and exciting.  In a world that is constantly moving and constantly connected, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and even burnt out. However, as Mark points out, there is value in boredom. Boredom allows for reflection and finding meaning and purpose.   Connect with Mark:   Instagram: @coldnoodlecreative  Facebook: @coldnoodlecreative  Website: coldnoodlecreative.com  The Mismatched Human  The Power of Boredom  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, Patty talks with Becky Karush, the founder of Read to Me Literary Arts, a writing school where writers learn to dazzle themselves and us with fresh, brilliant writing.   In this episode, Becky shares her experience in starting Read to Me and realizes how reading stories to her son might have influenced it.  Becky also shares her experience writing her book so far, how she knew that it was time to write simply from a physical feeling, by experiencing a sense of groundedness and joy. Her book starts with a time-traveling character and writing to see who this character becomes as she goes through her journey, letting the plot and the story develop naturally.  Becky talks about what she has seen over and over again in her writing salons: the deep fear and cultural messaging telling aspiring writers “No,” “you can't,” and “you shouldn't.” Having a community of writers and constant encouragement helps. A safe space where smart, inspired writers can feel encouraged and empowered to write.  This episode is a conversation on stories, doubts, living on the edge of vulnerability, and the encouragement you need to foster that “fluff” inside you to let it grow into a garden.  Connect with Becky:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readtomeliteraryarts/  4 Free Writing Meditations: https://www.readtomeliteraryarts.com/setsail.  Link to interview with Suzanne Kingsbury: https://www.pattylennon.com/brain-science-gateless-writing/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Patty Lennon helps people who are stuck and feeling left behind to find the flow of their own soul's journey and on today's episode she's sharing the new Receiving School components.  "Change is the essence of evolution and this planet is evolving. This vibration of this planet is shifting upwards."  Today Patty is sharing the changes going on at the Receiving School. The Receiving School is a program that helps people open up to receive all the gifts the universe has for us. The pace of the receiving school has changed. Previously, it was an eight-week program that moved quickly. But now it will be a yearlong experience!  All humanity is in the process of change. The changes Patty is making to the Receiving School are a reflection of something bigger happening in the world. Change is the essence of evolution, and this planet is evolving. The more we step into the flow of where we are being called, the easier the next months and years are going to be. People need to shift into a gentler pace when they make choices for themselves.  This year, the Receiving School is going to be open for a full year instead of just a couple of months a year. The 8-week window didn't give Patty the ability to help participants who want to go deeper into their receiving practice.  Patty will have other experts who will also help facilitate our receiving muscles. She noticed in the past that some people needed other types of healing as they did the Receiving School process. Now with a single investment a number of other resources will be included. EFT with Victoria Critter, Deana Paqua a shamanic practitioner and healer will lead energy clearing sessions. Lynn Trotta will be offering seasonal ceremonies to help us connect with the earth plane.  These changes and shifts are what Patty didn't even dream of when she first opened the doors to the Receiving School. She's thrilled to have these additional options and resources to the community.  Join the Receiving School - Scholarships Available   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's episode Patty continues the conversation on manifesting and how to bring things into our lives. She delves into the topic of letting go of limiting beliefs and how this can be a difficult task, especially when those beliefs are hidden in the shadows.   Here are the steps you need to follow:  1. You can't always control what happens, but you can control how you react to it.  In order to let go of a limiting belief, you first need to be aware of it. Once you are aware of the belief, you can begin to question it. Why do you believe this? Is there evidence to support it? If not, begin to let go of the belief. This may be a difficult process, but it is necessary in order to move forward.  2. Trust that the universe has your back and knows what's best for you.  When you trust that the universe has your back and knows what's best for you, it means that you have faith that things will work out for the best, even if you can't see how they will at the moment. It means letting go of the need to control everything and allowing yourself to be open to what comes your way. This can be a scary step, but it's important to remember that you are always supported, even when things seem uncertain.  3. Be willing to let go of what's not working, even if it's scary.  This may be a process that happens over time. You may find that you have to let go of the belief multiple times before it is truly gone. But each time you let it go, it will get easier and easier.  Manifesting for Grownups  Releasing Resistance    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Patty shares a personal story that came up when she was looking forward to celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary. A big takeaway is that what she received in life, was so much better than what she'd imagined as a young girl.   We put so much pressure on ourselves to know what the perfect life looks like, or what we want to manifest, when what we need to realize is that the place we're going is so beyond what we can imagine.   We can get lost inside the need to have certain gaps filled instead of waiting for what is best for us. When you are manifesting, it's important to remember that what comes into our life is always what is in our best interest.   What would it feel like to get better than what you can imagine?   Holding the desire while handing it over to the divine is how you can receive more and better than you can even see right now. If you feel like you're doing it “wrong” Patty wants you to know that's not true.   She's hosting a free event to help you understand what manifestation really looks like in just 15 minutes a day!   This is the first time she's done this outside her membership so join Patty to take the mystery out of manifestation.    Join the 5 Day Manifestation for Grown-Ups Event  Learn more about your ad choices.

Patty is talking with Lou Bortone, a pioneer and thought leader in the video space since the launch of YouTube in 2005.  He's helped thousands of entrepreneurs and companies create and leverage online video to build their brands and dramatically grow their revenues.  Prior to his industry leading work in online video marketing, Lou spent over 20 years as a marketing executive in the television and entertainment industries, including stints as National Promotion Manager for E! Entertainment Television and Senior Vice President of Marketing for Fox Family Worldwide in Los Angeles.    Lou exemplifies what it means to have a growth mindset.   He shares how he was a “closet-woo” person early on, and now he is very comfortable with the woo aspect of life, including receiving.   Lou recently reached out to Patty when things were not working for him. His instinct was to do more so when Patty said to take a month away, he was skeptical, but he did it anyway. He went to a cabin in the woods with no internet or phone. He took notebooks for journaling and gave himself some space.   How did it go? Lou says, “life changing!”   Lou's advice for those who aren't sure about things like talking to your guides is to trust the process. It's the best way to open yourself up to possibilities. He calls it a conspiracy of goodness.   He also shares that you have to be willing to be seen, to step into your power. He shares how embracing the process is a great approach for growing your confidence on video.   His advice is to not die with your story (or music or art or ideas) inside you. You can shift your relationship with video and be present for those you want to serve.     Connect with Lou   Get Lou's Video Planner (the best way to start!)   Lou's Website   Learn more about your ad choices.

Patty is doing something a bit different on this episode.   Something that the Magic Lounge members mention and one of the things that comes up in the Receiving School most often is “not knowing.”   Not knowing what you need.   Not knowing what your 100% looks like.   Not knowing if your sign was really a sign.   Not knowing is something that comes up when we don't take time to be still, listen and trust what our intuition is telling us.   So today, follow Patty's breathing exercise and just be.    For insights get your Space for Magic Oracle Cards   Learn more about your ad choices.
