Originally released August 15, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Mathias Osvath, Cognitive Zoologist at Lund University about all things corvids and specifically the raven. We've known how smart these birds are but, um, did not realize HOW smart! You will never look at a crow, magpie, jay, nutcracker, jackdaw, rook, or raven (all corvids) the same after listening to this conversation. Thank you to Dr. Osvath for taking a super brainy subject and breaking it down for us on Kindred so that we can understand how and why corvids are so intelligent. And the part where he talks about a baby raven practicing their little raven croak in a corner by themselves?….Unbearably cute. Plus many more incredible anecdotes.Lots of Love.Show Notes:Deep Time CognitionDr. Mathias Osvath

Originally released July 4, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's episode, we speak with Matt Rader, the President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. We dig deep into environmental justice and what it means for people to have access to green spaces and the many positive effects it has not only on the aesthetic of a city but the many mental, physical, social, and overall health benefits.  We've been wanting to cover this for a long time and Matt beautifully walks us through what environmental justice is, how it affects all of us, and the many models and programs PHS has put into effect to give Philadelphia access, experience, and a deeper and healthier connection to nature. We are so grateful to PHS and Matt Rader for his time, heart, and absolute dedication to getting Philly more access, agency, and connection to all things green. Lots of Love.Show Notes:Conquer The Soil InstagramPHS Online

Originally released January 23, 2024. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025. In this week's episode, we speak with long-haul hiker and adventurer Melanie Vogel. Melanie is the first woman to walk the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world.  She walked from the Atlantic Ocean across and up to the Arctic Ocean, then down and over to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 21,000 kilometers. Solo. Melanie's story is one of unexpected connections, harrowing experiences, brutal weather, stunning beauty, finding a soul mate, finding oneself, and the slow and emerging awareness of what it is to be human. We were spellbound by her story of letting go of fear, anxiety, and control that we carry in our daily lives, and emerging as her true self - more than she had ever felt before. And this story holds, to date, my most favorite meet-cute. Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn have nothing on this one.  Please rate and review us! And share this episode with your people. It's an incredible story for so many reasons and we'd love to hear what you loved about it. Lots of Love. Show Notes: Instagram: @explorermelvogel https://tctrail.ca/news/melanie-vogel/

Our final episode of the season was supposed to air earlier this month, but due to the quickly changing political landscape, we couldn't release it as planned. It was a tough call, but the right one. In this episode, Kate will be reading the statement we shared in response to all of this, which you may have already seen on our social media or in our newsletter.As we close out another season, we'd love to hear from you—what did you enjoy, and what do you want more of? New episodes will drop in April, and we can't wait to be back. Lots of love! ❤️

Originally released April 25, 2023. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in April 2025.In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.Show Note Links:American Wild Horse CampaignEric Lundgren Study on BurrosThe Bureau of Land Management

We are dropping this episode as an encore in light of the devastating fires LA have been experiencing the last few weeks. There are so many reasons these fires are happening and we wanted to re-share this episode on fire in support of answering some of the questions we have been seeing on social media and hearing on news platforms.  In this week's conversation, we speak with Tony Incashola Jr., forest manager for CSKT (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), and Stephanie Gillin, information and education program manager and former wildlife biologist for the CSKT at the Flathead Indian Reservation. Tony and Stephanie walk us through the history of fire and what it means to their tribes and how the criminalization of their fire practices not only impacted the health of the landscape but significantly changed how fire affects the land, ecosystems, and people of Montana and the general western part of the United States.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Dave Onorato, Research Scientist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and the Florida Panther Project. For this conversation, we get to head down to Florida to learn all about the elusive Florida Panther!  Dave patiently walked us through what a panther is because I for one can get them confused with other large North American cats. He also shares with us the challenges panthers are facing today with both health and habitat and what the Panther Project is doing to actively support and protect these majestic cats! Dave also shares a few of his most memorable moments out in the field with panthers.  And can I just say, these beauties are definitely the OG on the smokey eye look. Pretty sure I know where the Kardashians learned it from.   Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Dr. Katherine Gura, a research scientist at Colorado State University and a leader in raptor research and conservation, with a specific focus on Great Grey Owls. Katherine also has a background in wildlife ecology and is a long standing team member at the Teton Raptor Center working with raptors to better understand their needs in a time of changing climates and habitat loss. If you've ever heard the call of an owl, in the dark, under a full moon and gotten full body chills, you will know why we loved this conversation so much. And if you haven't, take a listen because we offer you that experience today.  Katherine takes us into the habitat of the Great Grey Owl and sits with us as she explains why they are so exceptional, wise, and captivating. And we left this space understanding why this incredible raptor is a wildlife treasure, and what they offer not only their ecosystem, but what they mean to us and why we should value them and fight for their conservation.  Thanks so much to Katherine for taking us into the world of the magical Great Grey Owl.  An owl with a call that will echo through your soul.  Lots of Love.  Episode Time Stamps: Introduction: 00:53 Interview: 6:24 TA: 1:03:42 Show Note Links: https://tetonraptorcenter.square.site/product/phantom-of-the-north/49?cs=true&cst=custom https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Gray_Owl/overview https://www.cira.colostate.edu/staff/gura-katherine/ https://tetonraptorcenter.org/wild-women-of-wildlife-features-trcs-katherine-gura/

This time of year can be challenging. It's dark, grey and cold. So Kat and I thought we could offer a new perspective, one that Jenn and I have been shifting for years. How can we see darker and colder times as a way to rest and renew ourselves? What if we looked to the natural world for a better, more meaningful way to experience winter? Here are our thoughts on how we might lean into the winter season and look to animals and nature as a guide and inspiration on how to rest and renew ourselves and tap into seasonal cycles and see what we can learn from these organic rhythms during “darker” times. Happy New Year, dear listeners. From all of us at Kindred we wish you all a warm and peaceful holiday season! And may the energy this time of year can offer, nurture you through this winter. And all the best to you in 2025! As always, lots of love. Kate, Jenn, & Kat. xoxo

In this week's episode, we speak with Rosalie Haizlett about her new book Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains. Tiny Worlds is an immersion into the small and tiny worlds of the Appalachian Trail and a journal of both paintings and thoughts about Rosalie's time spent hiking this long, old, incredibly diverse trail and mountain range.   Rosalie's gift lies not only in her beautiful watercolor illustrations, but also her ability to highlight and elevate what is often overlooked, but has always been there. The little guys. The ones who survive and endure through brutal landscape deconstruction like logging, strip mining, and development.  We loved the walk down memory lane visiting plants and places and spaces where we grew up, living in Maryland as children and camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia, where Rosalie lives today.  Thanks so much to Rosalie for also highlighting what we call the flower of our lineage, starting with our Great Grandmother! And, the moth that we love so much, Jenn even has an incredible tattoo of it! Listen to find out!  Lots of love.  Episode Time Stamps: Introduction: 00:51 Interview: 8:36 TA: 55:04 Show Note Links: https://rosaliehaizlett.com/ https://rosaliehaizlett.com/collections/art-prints/products/luna-moth-watercolor-art-print https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_moth https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/30/firefly-endangered-species-list

In this week's conversation, we speak with Stefania Uccheddu, Veterinarian and Coordinator of the Behavioral Medicine Service at the San Marco Veterinary Clinic and Laboratory, located in San Marco, Italy.  In this conversation, our focus is specifically the grief-like process that dogs can go through when they lose their dog companion, but Stefania does touch on a few other really key intersecting spaces that go hand in hand with the dog's experience. Having witnessed what our dog Blue went through after losing his sister Pip, I was really interested in finding out how we all might support our beloved dogs better after losing what we all consider a pack or family member.  Will you need a tissue, maybe. But really, this is a positive, kind, and really sweet episode. The focus is on acknowledging in our dogs what we humans are also going through. And this is what we love so much about the research Stefania Uccheddu and her team have been working on.  Please share this episode! It's so validating and supportive for those of us who have gone through this with our pets. It's such a gift.  Lots of Love.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Nigel Rothfels, Professor of History from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Nigel has long been studying the history of ideas we humans have of animals and animal studies, which lucky for us includes all things zoos! Because boy did we have questions upon questions… And like all good questions and conversations the answer is never “good or bad” is it? It's complicated. But Nigel patiently walked us through a long history and into some dark corners where we could shine some light. This conversation was dynamic, heartfelt, respectful, and at moments hilarious. It was such a pleasure to dig deep into a subject that we could push back on, disagree on, learn about, and come away with a sense of being heard but maybe more importantly shift our perspectives and be open to all the grey that complicated stories can offer us. Also, we talk about Nigel's new edition of his book Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the Modern Zoo coming out in the Spring, and about my new favourite animal conference that he is going to create and all I can say is Jenn and I would be perfect guests on this panel. Wink. Thanks for listening, Lots of Love. Episode Time Stamps: Intro: 00:53 Interview: 5:52 TA: 56:50 Show Note Links: https://www.nps.gov/articles/california-condor-recovery.htm

In this week's conversation, we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with  Carer and Head Manager of the Rhino Orphanage, Yolandé van der Merwe. We have been following the Rhino Orphanage since their foundation in 2012, so when we started this podcast they were immediately on our list!  The story of the Rhino Orphanage is one of great tragedy and great triumph.  It's a story of the moment you see a life hanging in the balance, and in an instant the course of your life changes.  This conversation is a testament to the power of love, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the belief that we must help each other, humans and animals alike and that through action, time, and healing, we can all thrive and one day return to the life we once knew. Because of the Rhino Orphanage, baby rhinos are brought to a safe place and through the amazing veterinarian and carer teams, are given a second chance. It's a brutal transition when a baby rhino loses their mother to violence, and is often attacked themselves, but the Rhino team is there to nurture them back to health, both physically and mentally. The team at the Rhino Orphanage are the Heroes of our time.  They are the reason rhinos might have a chance. Deeply grateful for this conversation, and all that you do Yolandé! If you need a coffee or a sammie while you're busy with the babies, text us.  Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Kirsty-Jo Muddiman, representative for The Seahorse Trust and coordinator of the Malta Seahorse Project. Who knew that the seahorse is as fancy inside as out! This might be the most surprising little animal we have covered yet, and that's saying A LOT. Take a listen to all the fun facts on seahorse morphology and biology and let us know which attribute is most surprising to you! Our big question is why hasn't Disney or Pixar not created an animated film featuring this amazing creature that not only looks like a horse/fish/chameleon, but performs one of the most romantic mating dances OF ALL TIME. Thanks so much to Kirsty-Jo for this delightful conversation and introducing us to the stoic, romantic, vulnerable apex predator that is the seahorse. Fun Facts: The latin for seahorse is Hippocampus meaning “horse caterpillar.” And baby seahorses are called “fry.” Episode Time Stamps: Intro: 00:52 Interview: 5:37 TA: 49:42 Show Note Links: https://www.theseahorsetrust.org/ https://www.theseahorsetrust.org/conservation/malta-research-project/ https://www.theseahorsetrust.org/seahorse-man-film-on-netflix/ https://www.facebook.com/ziemeltalbahar

In this week's episode, we travel to Denmark and speak with author and long time marine biologist Hanne Strager about the incredible and dynamic predator the killer whale, or orca if you prefer. Hanne specializes in marine wildlife, specifically killer whales, and has recently published her new book titled, The Killer Whale Journals: Our Love and Fear of Orcas.  We wanted to speak with Hanne because we are keenly interested in the relationship humans have with predators and why killer whales have long been persecuted, misunderstood, and even demonised by humans, like MANY predators whether that be on land or sea. We think they are dynamic, highly intelligent, gorgeous, and captivating animals and Hanne tells us why! What an absolute honor to speak with Hanne. We steeped in her knowledge and experience and mostly her poignant insights on not only killer whales but also her view of the relationship we have with animals like killer whales and other powerful and intelligent predators.  Also, take a listen to this week's introduction to the episode and weigh in on whether my “joke” about killer whales is actually a joke, a riddle, or just a question! Jenn is most definitely unsure! Lols.  Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with entomologist Gwen Erdosh! We came across her Instagram account a few years back and have been huge fans ever since.  We are so inspired by Gwen for many reasons. She's a woman who has loved entomology from a very young age, she features insects in a way that is super fun and respectful, and her passion for all-things-bugs is infectious.  Oh, and she speaks about them not only in English but in fluent Spanish (We can barely spell/say Pyrophorus Noctilucus in one language let alone two!)! It's scientists like Gwen that are the future of saving this planet, and the incredible critical species that keep this world clean and thriving, and give us food, flowers, and all the good things! The fashion world and Hollywood's got nothing on the spectacular insects Gwen finds. You wanna see the real trend setters? Head to Gwen's Instagram account and get ready to be WOWED!  Lots of Love!

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Jen Davis, the education and learning manager for The Wildlife Trusts based around the UK. Jen focuses specifically on the role nature plays in childhood and how through educational programs implemented by The Wildlife Trusts, children can access empathy to nature, and a deeper connection to themselves and others. And, we dig deep into the critical role time spent in nature plays in the development of children and young people. Jen was such a joy and inspiration to speak with. You can tell how much she loves her work and how passionate she is about implementing time spent in nature for children into the educational systems in the UK. This conversation resonated deeply with us and is so very Kindred. Thanks so much to Jen Davis and The Wildlife Trusts for speaking with us and for the work you are doing in getting our children reconnected to the natural world! Lots of Love.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Elly Albers who is all about the beautiful Pink Flamingo! Elly is the founder of the Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab, and owner of the Mangrove Info Center (Kayak and Boat Excursions) on the beautiful island of Bonaire.  When researching this episode, we were so pleased to find that flamingos are native to Bonaire, one of our most favorite places in the world, and then learning of the Wild Bird Rehab where flamingos and other birds were being cared for was a total bonus!  Originally from the Netherlands, Elly moved to Bonaire and worked in the animal shelters.  She ultimately started her business the Mangrove Info Center, where Elly and her team guide Kayak and Snorkel Tours. Then after a sudden need in 2018, she founded Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab.  On a recent holiday to Bonaire, Kate was lucky enough to meet Elly and get a tour of the facility. A highlight of her life for sure! Watch our socials for videos and pictures of the flamingos, and Tiny!- The Rehab's most recent intake and the youngest baby they have rescued yet! Lots of Love.

Have you ever gotten messages from your Guides that repeated themselves over and over that you just couldn't make sense of logically. Today we're going to talk about how this exact situation is showing up in my life and what that is going to mean for the podcast.  Why We Resist Our Intuitive Messages  Most often we resist our messages due to ego.  Maybe we don't think it can possibly be the right guidance because it logically doesn't make sense and our ego doesn't want to not be in control.  Or maybe we just plain don't like what the message has to say.   What To Do When Your Intuitive Message Go Against Your Logic  What do you do when you “think” you are following the messages and guidance you are receiving yet you continue to get the same instruction from your Guides? You think how can this still be the message?  I'm already doing what you are telling me I need to do. This is where we need to get curious with our Guides.  We need to ask them those specific clarifying questions to get to the core of the message and stop second guessing that your interpretation is right.  Why It Is Important To Get Clear On Your No's  When you get clear energetically on the things you know are NOT in alignment, you can set healthy and reasonable boundaries that support the messages you are receiving. Remember no doesn't have to mean never, it can mean just not right now. Just because it's not a match energetically right now you can ask your Guides to provide this type of opportunity again when your energy is refilled and you are closer vibrationally to the possibilities it might hold.  Ways To Stop Resisting Your Messages  One of the best things you can do if you feel resistance to a certain message is to slow down.  Allow that message to fully come in. Stop trying to fill in the blanks and force it to make sense in your current scenarios. Slow down, back up from it and let the message “simmer” for a while without expectation of how it will resolve. Resistance comes from the feeling of lack of control.  When you consciously release the need to control, usually the parts and pieces of the message you are resisting are able to come up to the surface.   When you are truly following your intuitive messages you are always on the right path. It may not make sense today, but future you will see how everything came together in Divine order and timing.  Here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.    LINKS:  Book Your Psychic Medium, Oracle, or Chakra Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Whitney's Meditation Library  Join Our Email List  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Sloane Hawes, Chief of Research and Development at CARE, which stands for Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity.  Founded in 2020, CARE is America's first national Black, Indigenous, and People of Color [BIPOC] led animal welfare organization. The primary focus of CARE  is “to rethink and rebuild Animal Welfare [Animal Protection]. Our goal is to do this in a way that honors and reflects the well being of all people; making human and animal well being our primary focus.” We have been following CARE's work since they were founded by CEO James Evans, and tracking the new pathways and connections they have been forging in context to animal welfare and the BIPOC communities.  Sloane and the work CARE are doing are leaders in this field and unique in the intersections they amplify and work within. Thanks so much to Sloane for taking on big questions with many layers and giving us BIG answers.  And it's not just about equity. Turns out, it's all about LOVE.  Lots of Love.

We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. That means we go through certain cycles. Today we talk to Michelle Leigh about what is collectively coming through to be released right now and the 3 most commonly blocked chakras.  How To Know Reiki Is Working When You're Analytical  This comes down to the mind-body connection. How you speak to yourself and how you think go a long way into “feeling” this work energetically outside of the logical mind. You also can't deny the outcomes that you experience.   What the 7 Chakras Are and Their Purpose  Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel or circle and represents the spinning energy centers in the body (or chakras).  We have 7 of these main energy centers located in the human body. The Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown.  Michelle goes on to explain where these are located and what aspects each one governs.  The 3 Most Commonly Block Chakras  Michelle shares the “Trifecta” of issues she is currently seeing being collectively expressed in her clients. Recently she is seeing the same trinity of chakras being affected as a group. She believes the collective experience of childhood trauma and certain societal pressures have played a part in the systematic blockage of these same chakras in much of the population.  How Often to Get a Reiki or Chakra Balancing Session  Michelle provides her perspective on the frequency of sessions, but emphasizes that consistent personal energetic hygiene is critical. Checking in periodically checking in with your body to see if you are feeling heavy or stagnant in any particular area. Grounding and clearing rituals can help alleviate these symptoms in between energetic sessions.  Symptoms of a Blocked Chakra and How to Unblock It  Michelle gives some very specific methods you can use to determine if you have a block and where the block might be depending on the symptom itself.  For instance, sometimes if you feel more clumsy or off balance than usual there may be an energetic mis-balance in your root chakra system (barring any specific medical intervention needed of course).  What to Expect During a Chakra Balancing Session  The most important part of any energy session is connection. We need to establish the connection about what you are experiencing and what you believe you want to work on. You may also experience some buzzing or tingling sessions as you begin to experience the Reiki energy flowing through your system. There may also be some intuitive messages from your Spirit Guides that come through.  Each experience is unique to the individual and what it is their system requires at that time.  Regardless of what your energy system requires right now, we hope you connect in and ground. Maintain your energy in whatever method is optimal for you.   And here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.  LINKS:  1 Hour Chakra Reading & Balancing Session with Michelle  Book Your Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Let's talk about Astrotherapy!  That's right, Astrology and Therapy combined. So today we are going to welcome Christina Fitch to help us understand more about this unique modality of therapy. As a marriage/family therapist with an interest in astrology Christina began seeing amazing similarities in her clients birth chart as to what  she would pick up from them in session. And Astrotherapy was born..  What Main Areas To Consider In Your BirthChart In An Astrotherapy Session  .Christina divulges the 2 most communicative areas of your birth chart to reference when it comes to life story. She also shares the areas that relate to the themes we may see over and over in our lifetimes.  What Is Astrotherapy and How Can It Help You  Humans don't come with owners manuals, except that they do.  It's called the astrological birth chart. We just need to learn to interpret and use the information to our benefit. It helps us deep dive into our patterns to unravel how to approach the challenges or opportunities they will present. Astrotherapy helps you figure out who you are as a person so you can navigate you.  Where To Look To Learn More About Relationship Patterns In Your BirthChart  Sun, Moon, and Rising give you an understanding of who you are. However Venus, Mars, & Mercury placements will tell you a lot about who you are in a relationship. Any relationship! Even the relationship with yourself. Christina shares about a special type of chart that can be read to dive deeper into your energies in those aspects of your life.  When Is The Best Time To Have An Astrotherapy Session  Anytime is a great time for a session.  Any session will give you a lot of insight. However if you have a major challenging astrological placement right now, an astrotherapy can be integral in understanding what is happening astrologically and identify the affects you may feel.  Why You Might Not Feel Connected To Your Sun Sign  There is SO much more going on in someone's chart than just the sun sign.

In this week's conversation, we are speaking with William Housty, Associate Director of the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department in Bella Bella, British Columbia. The HIRMD are in charge of overseeing the management of all natural resources in the Heiltsuk territory, including the beautiful and captivating sea wolves.   There is an air of magic and mystery about these sea swimming wolves that compel you to want to know, who are these beings and what is their story. William Housty tells us that story and what sea wolves mean to not only him, but to the Heiltsuk Nation. There are moments when you look into the eyes of another species and see into their being and know there is more… there is a story of life, suffering, and beauty, and a deep recognition and resonance. You know all at once you are not separate from or above them, but tied through a millennium of evolution and kinship.  Thank you to William for inviting us into this story of the sea wolf. We are so grateful for the chance to listen and to see.  Lots of Love.

Do you ever wonder if you meditate correctly or do you fall asleep during meditations? Maybe you don't think you're cut out for meditation, even if it's something you want to do. So let's talk about the top questions and concerns around developing a meditative practice.  The Benefits of Mediation if Your Fall Asleep  There is no specific benefit. But there also is no detriment!! Falling asleep is just your body getting into its most receptive state. It allows you to just experience the meditation while releasing control and expectation.  What Happens When You Cannot Follow Along or “Black Out” During the Guided Meditation  Many people think if they lose focus and “miss” a section (or almost all) of a guided meditation that they are doing something wrong.  Actually it is just the opposite. Typically this is an indication that you went deep into trance or were working directly with your Guides in some other deep way.  What To Do If You Cannot Be Still During Your Meditation  Sometimes we are in such a state of constant motion that our minds and bodies seem to no longer understand “be still”. Sometimes it is as simple as giving yourself permission to “stop” for a period of time to make enough space for a little relaxation to set in. Our ego thinks it needs to be in control during this time when this is the perfect time for it to take a break.  Why You Might Resist Meditation   You might feel like you “resist” meditation if you get your messages through your body like the channeler. It would be important to expend some energy before trying to meditate so you can get into a mindful state. Fear of what you'll see or that you'll do it wrong can also be reasons why you might feel   How To Know If Your Meditation Is Working  For one you will start noticing areas in your life shifting into a higher vibration or experience an energetic shift. By the sheer effort of the practice you may also notice your intuition getting stronger. Some meditations are meant to release blocks so you may experience some form of release.  No matter how you choose to meditate, just know you can't do it wrong and how ever you do it is what is just right for you.  Here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.  LINKS:  Whitney's 20 meditations  Book Your Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Pluto has had a long stent in Capricorn.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Bear Biologist Chris Servheen. We finally get to meet our grizzly bear fears head-on and dispel all the misinformation that we have been wondering about for years!   We were so lucky to have been able to speak with Chris, one of if not the leading bear biologists in this country.  Chris has been working tirelessly for his entire career advocating for the health and protection of one the most incredible and majestic predators in the world, the grizzly bear. After a long and distinguished career to ensure that the bears were protected under the federal Endangered Species Act he retired. Until he didn't.  Join us to learn all about what brought Chris out of retirement, what makes grizzlies legendary, and the secret to their magic. Lots of Love.

You know that feeling when you know an intuitive message is right there, but you just can't get it to come through clearly.  Does this mean that you need to work more on your intuition and connection? Or is it just time to get a psychic reading to get over that hurdle? So, let's look at it and see if now is the time for a reading.  When NOT To Get A Psychic Medium Reading  To decide if a reading would be of benefit it's important to look at the reasons you feel you need it. If you have too much invested in a certain outcome or a certain answer you will not be open to what spirit has to say so the reading is essentially pointless. It is best to be in a neutral frame of mind and open when you meet with a reader.  The Best Times To Get A Psychic Medium Reading  Often it is most beneficial to get a reading around the time of some type of celebration. Your loved ones will already be closer at that time. Getting a reading may also be a way to clarify and get more detail on a message that you've already received from your Guides.   How To Choose A Psychic Medium  It's best to choose a medium in the same ways you'd verify any other purchase. Does the recommendation or advert come from a place or source that you trust? What is your gut feeling about the specific person or situation? All those same validation methods hold true when you are looking for a medium to   Tips To Make The Most of Your Psychic Medium Reading  As always, speak your intentions for the readings to your Spirit Guides and loved ones ahead of time. This gives spirit time to prepare information for the things that are most important to you. Also make sure you choose the reader whose methods best match with what you are looking to receive.  If you absolutely want to connect with loved ones on the other side, you definitely need a true psychic medium.  If you are more interested in guidance, direction, and clarity on what's currently happening and your next best steps, then a channeler using oracle cards may be a better fit.  No matter what type of reading you get, just remember it doesn't replace the importance of working on your own connection to spirit and your intuition.

Today we are talking about a topic that is getting much more attention lately. With the idea of mental health gaining importance a lot of people are realizing the uniqueness in the way they think and navigate the world. Neurodivergence, ADHD specifically, would obviously have an affect on how you receive intuitive messages. We have Chandra Arrington with us for this episode. She is a previous student who has had to navigate this very challenge.  This episode is not intended to diagnose or prescribe medical conditions. We are not licensed healthcare professionals. This is a story about one woman's journey with neurodivergence and intuition. Please check with your doctor if you have any concerns or questions.  Why It Can Be More Challenging for Channelers to Connect  It's more challenging for channelers in general to connect because there is no tangible result of the message. You didn't see or hear anything. You didn't get an emotional response from seemingly nowhere.  You just know things. Since we are born intuitive most channelers have been doing this their entire lives and don't realize its intuition. Neurodivergence can make connecting to that knowing or “gut feeling” more difficult because of the hyperactivity in their mind. It makes it more difficult for them to be present in their bodies to experience that feeling.  ADHD Symptoms That May Affect How You Receive Messages  By the very definition of neurodivergent it stands to reason that cognition is going to be different for the “neuro-person”. When the hyperactivity of ADHD shows up as inner chatter of the mind that can't be turned off, it makes for very little room for clear intuitive messages to come in. Chandra also shares how some other adhd characteristics affect intuition.  Best Tips To Get Clear Intuitive Messages If You're Neurodivergent  The biggest tip for the Channeler is to trust. Trust your guides are they and that they are guiding you even if you don't sense or receive anything in the moment.  Channelers are often more physical and get messages when in motion. Listen as Chandra shares how it felt when she realized she actually was getting intuitive messages and how they were coming in.  How To Deal With Feeling Like You Don't Get Intuitive Messages  Just as Whitney teaches, consistency is a key aspect of successfully connecting with your Guides. Even though you may not get the message immediately you can work with your Guides to make sure it happens in other ways. Your messages start to come in other ways. Something a stranger says at the grocery store, an article comes across your path that is about the very topic you were asking your Guides about.  Be consistent with connecting and trust they will provide you the answer some-way, some-how when the answer is needed.  Regardless of how you receive your intuitive messages, we know your Guides are always conspiring in your favor.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Lance Foster, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. You know when you hear an idea and it hits you like “Oh my gosh, of course”? Well, that was my reaction when I heard Lance Foster talking on NPR about the work he is doing in gaining rights and legal standing for natural entities, like rivers. Yes. Rivers. And specifically like the river he lives near, the mighty Missouri! Lance walks us through what this all means, and why gaining civil rights for natural entities isn't just about protecting their health against pollution and climate change, but because of what systems like rivers are; beings that hold within them a whole world. A world much like our human bodies. An entity with Spirit. Thanks so much to Lance for his depth of insight and for offering us a new (or not so new) way of seeing the world. Seeing rivers, mountains, forests, and even, our trucks. Lots of Love. Show Notes: Documentary “From the Heart of the World” “It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature”

On your spiritual journey as people of like vibration come together they collectively raise their vibration. And that's when some crazy “stuff” can start to happen. This is what happened for me and one of my best friends, Brenda Grasjo. Brenda is a psychic medium and reiki master. In this episode we'll share all the details on Spirit orbs as well as tell you some of the amazing orb experiences we've had together.  What Are Spirit Orbs?  Brenda shares some of her experiences with orbs through the years and shares the conclusions she has come to and what she believes they are. It all boils down to orbs are energy.  Magical Stories of Fairy Orbs  Listen and Brenda and I share our collective and individual experiences with orb that come to  us as fairies.  The Meaning and Messages of Spirit Orbs  Orbs are just another manifestation of Spirit communicating with us. Most often if you see an orb whatever you think it means (first thought that occurs) is usually what it means.  It can be a call to stop and talk with your Spirit Guides, or it could be a quick wink from Grandma Ruby who stopped by to say hi.  What Questions to Ask When You See an Orb  Most often you'll get a feeling about why you're seeing the orb. Just lean into that feeling. That's your intuition. Ask questions based on that feeling. If you feel the orb is just your Guides saying hello, acknowledge them and thank them for visiting. Then just ask if there was any message or just a visit.  Galactic Spirit Orbs in Sedona & UFO's  Whitney and Brenda share a story of stargazing in the backyard and the lights that appeared to them. Listen to find out what they were doing right before, that they believed called the lights in. Although energy of this nature may be strange and startling at first, but that's because the experiences are new, not because the energy is necessarily negative.  I hope you can delight in the magic that Spirit orbs can bring into our everyday lives.

A lot of energy sensitive people right now are feeling the need to cocoon and go into hermit mode. We all come to points in our spiritual journey where it's time for a change we just may not know what it is yet. Moving through those shadow aspects of ourselves is what we need to do to step out into the light again.  Today we have Malena Crawford, a reinvention coach, with us, to share her expertise on how to take those first steps out of your shadow.  What Reinvention Is  Reinvention can look different for everyone.

We will reinvent ourselves hundreds of times in our life as we grow and evolve.  Steps To Reinvent Your Life  Reclaiming your life is a decision. Taking the opportunity to look at our shadow selves and learn how to embrace and integrate it. It's all about getting to know who you are and probably more importantly, who you're not.  How To Know It's Time To Reinvent Your Life  You know it's time when you begin looking at the places and situations in your life that aren't working. These are the areas that will give you the signals , and continue to give you signals. It's when we don't heed these nudges that they tend to get louder and demand our attention.  Simple Steps To Move Through Your Shadow  Probably, the most important thing is to get all those thoughts and feelings out of your body in some way. That may look like asking yourself tough questions.Malena shares some great examples of how this can be a good opportunity.  How To Connect With Your Joy Again  Being in tune and in balance with your whole self.

If you've found yourself struggling to tell those people important to you that you are intuitive or received an intuitive message, in this episode Whitney discusses some ideas on how best to communicate about your gift.  The Deeper Reason It Feels Awkward To Tell People You Are Intuitive  Sharing the fact that you are intuitively connected should be something to be celebrated. However, not everyone is as open to the topic of intuition and things can get awkward. There are many reasons why it feels this way. There may be some wound you carry that inhibits you from speaking freely on the topic.   How To Tell Your Spouse and Family You Are Intuitive  Clear communication is necessary in any healthy relationship. If your spouse is not as woo as you, you'll need to explain your intuition to them in terminology they will receive and understand. Whitney gives some great examples. Including some beautiful ways to protect your energy in these types of conversations.  What To Say When You Have an Intuitive Message For Someone  Again it may be best to put the message into words the person will accept and understand.  One example is when you say “I feel like you should….” the person may accept it is only you providing an opinion vs you delivering an intuitive message.  How To Handle Telling Groups You Are Intuitive  Sometimes it's helpful to start out with more general terms to do a “vibe” check to see if the person you are speaking with is even interested in the topic of intuition. This way you get to determine how much energy you put into explaining about what you do or not. Whitney shares some beautiful ways to protect your energy in these types of conversations.  At the end of the day it is up to you who you share your gifts with. I hope some of these ideas will make the conversation a positive one.

Do you feel like you struggle to get messages from your Spirit Guides with clarity? Are you constantly feeling like you should be asking them for more detail?  If so, here are 6 ways to get better messages from your Guides.  What Your Spirit Guides Say To Do To Get Better Intuitive Messages  This goes back to how Spirit communicates. They communicate through energy. So, obviously our energy will be key to receiving the information accurately. It's not a mental or physical game.  With any type of communication, place the focus on where the info will be coming from.  Why You Should Take Your Spirit Guides On A Date  Don't laugh! I'm being totally serious. Think about a blind date.  How easy is it to communicate with that person you just met? Usually it's awkward AF, right.  It takes time to build rapport, get used to any uniqueness in their communication style (accent, word choice, cadence, etc).  You have to spend time getting to know them before communication becomes fluid and comfortable. Why would we expect a relationship with our Spirit Guides to be that much different?  What To Ask To Get Better Messages From Your Guides  To get better messages you have to…. (drum roll, please).....ask better questions. Just as in human interactive conversation, open ended questions get more detail than questions that dictate short 1-2 word answers.  Give Spirit the room to lay out all the guidance they can share.  When Is It OK to Ask Yes/No Questions to Your Spirit Guides? (And When Is It Not)  Sometimes you may be asking expansive questions and requesting more detail and all you hear from your Guides is crickets. There are instances where they can't give us any more info to ensure we remain fully in our free will to decide our path.  In cases like this, it may be beneficial to ask yes/no questions.  Whitney gives some extremely relatable examples to help you see how this approach can serve you.  Let Your Guides Lead  There can not be enough importance placed on clearing our mind and releasing control when it comes to spirit communication. Clearing the energy and space to allow the new information to come in should be the first step you take when you attempt to communicate with your Guides.  Just Do It  If your Guides are giving you direction and insight on an action to take (that feels aligned of course), just do it!  If you were constantly giving a friend AMAZING advice that they never acted on, wouldn't you start to feel like you were wasting your breath the next time they asked.  Taking the action lets your Guides know you listen and that you are ready and willing for the next step so the guidance will continue to flow.  Here's to having more amazing and increasingly clear communication with your Spirit Guides and as always, here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious    LINKS:  Whitney's FREE Communicate with your Spirit Guide Class  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Have you ever just had a strong knowing about something but not sure where it came from? Or maybe others are consistently telling you that you give amazing advice, or that what you said was just what they needed to hear? If so, claircognizance may be the primary way Spirit communicates with you.  Let's look at some of the signs your “clear knowing” is opening.  What Is Claircognizance?  Claircognizance is a clear knowing that using comes into through the body vs the mind. This is the language of the channeler. This is when you know something is true, even though you may have absolutely no proof to back it up. This language is literally your body reacting without your conscious effort.  This is why many channelers don't think they are intuitive at all. They chalk those events up to instinct vs intuition.  Why Loving Your Body Is So Important in Claircognizance  Channeling is very difficult if you don't have a healthy relationship with your body or if you tend to stay more in the upper chakras and are not grounded and present in your body. It is important to allow your body to be the tool that communicates.  Signs that you have Claircognizance As Your Primary Intuitive Language  As you start to pay more attention to your body you will see how it reacts in certain situations and tasks.  Put your awareness on how the body feels. Do you feel excited or energized at that time? Or do you feel more tired all of sudden. Oftentimes your body will react without your conscious effort or you will say something that was not filtered through conscious thoughts in your mind.   Learning How To Be A Channeler Is A Superpower  Because Spirit funnels your messages directly into your body, or have that knowing and have no choice than to believe it as fact. You can be an amazing channel of information and downloads. Using that knowledge for the highest and best will be your superpower  Pay attention to your body and be kind to it.  You never know what Spirit may be using it to tell you.

Do you feel like you are more sensitive than the people around you? Maybe you've been called a Highly Sensitive Person in the past. If you feel the things happening around you very strongly you might be an Empath. And Clairsentience might be your primary intuitive language. Listen to this full episode to find out.  What Is Clairsentience?  In short this language is about receiving your message through feeling and energy. A lot of people call this type of sensitivity “Being an Empath”.   Physical Signs That Your Clairsentience is Opening  Take a look at how other people's energy (emotions) physically affect you. In general you may just feel things more intently, both physically and emotionally.  How the things you put into your body (foods, drinks, snacks, etc.) affect you may begin to shift and change. Or you may begin to crave things that you've never liked before.  Energetic Signs That Your Clairsentience is Opening  Emotions tend to affect you very deeply, whether they are your own or belong to others. Depending on your sensitivity, you may even be able to sense how a person is feeling from across the room or before you even meet them. If you haven't set clear boundaries between you and the energies of others, you may find you assume their emotions. You can get mad, sad, etc out of nowhere and not know where those emotions are coming from. They were “absorbed” from some interaction throughout the day.  Why Being An Empath is a Superpower  Your special sensitivities make you very good at what you do if it involves the need to read and relate to people.  Healers, Coaches, Therapists are all careers empaths can thrive in.  Another way clairsentience can be viewed as a superpower is that you can read the “vibes” of a room as soon as you walk in. If you feel a tension or heaviness, then you know there may be a disagreement that just happened so you know to tread lightly for a few minutes until what happens becomes clear.   The Main Life Lesson Empaths Have to Learn  Because you are so sensitive to the feelings and needs of others, boundaries become very important. Having boundaries doesn't necessarily mean that you have to keep certain people or places completely out of your experience. It just means that you remain aware of how the energies are affecting you so that you can feel what you need to without taking that energy on as your own. This makes energetic releasing and cleansing very important for you.  If any of this sounds like you, I'd love for you to join me in my Masterclass to learn more about managing your empathic sensitivities.  Until then, here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious  LINKS:  Whitney's FREE Communicate with your Spirit Guide Class  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Take the Quiz to find out your Intuitive Language®  Podcast Episode 126 on Clairvoyance  Podcast Episode 127 on Clairaudience  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram  ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Clairaudience. Hearing Spirit. What does that really sound like? Do you hear it internally or externally? We'll try to answer all those questions and give you some signs to see if yours may be coming online now.  What Is Clairaudience?   Clairaudience is the ability to hear spirit's voice. It is actually the rarest of the ways intuition comes and she explains why in this episode.   Physical Signs Your Clairaudience Is Opening  The ability to hear spirit comes in through the same Chakra as seeing spirit. Many signs are similar to the ones for clairvoyance and will occur in the same region of the body.    Energetic Signs Your Clairaudience Is Opening  Spirit is of a higher vibration so sometimes when they communicate what we receive seems to come in very fast. At times, so fast we don't understand what it said. This is when it becomes important to work with your Spirit Guides to better align your energy to receive the information more clearly.  The Meaning of Phantom Sounds  As your clairaudience comes on line you may experience hearing things, physically hearing things, that aren't there. Those are called Phantom Sounds.  Although they sound like they are from the physical plane you are actually hearing them with your intuitive ear .Whitney describes a few examples of times she and some of her students experienced phantom sounds.  It is my hope that you will embrace whatever intuitive language you are naturally inclined to receive.

There are certain signs that will come up when you start to open your clairvoyance. This episode is all about helping you understand what they are and what they mean  What Is Clairvoyance?  Clairvoyance is the ability to see energy or spirit with either your physical eyes or through your psychic eye.   How The Third Eye Chakra Helps Open Clairvoyance  The Third Eye Chakra located roughly in the center of your forehead is the energetic portal of the body where psychic/astral seeing takes place.  Physical Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening  Sensation in and around the third eye may be a sign you'll receive. The more you start to use and pay attention to that energetic center the more sensation you may experience. Listen as Whitney explains how developing your psychic vision center may affect your physical sight as well.  How Using Color Through Clairvoyance Can Help You  As your clairvoyance strengthens you may find yourself more sensitive to color. Take notice of the colors you are drawn to versus the colors you shy away from.  This may be your clairvoyance trying to alert you to some energy imbalance in your body.  Energetic & Spiritual Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening  Everything is energy so one of the easiest ways for Spirit to get your attention as you develop your clairvoyance is through light energy. Orbs, flashes, blobs of color in photos etc.  Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening Before & After You Sleep  The state of consciousness right before you fall asleep or right as you are waking up is very conducive to receiving intuitive messages.  Whitney gives you some examples of how you may experience clairvoyant messages during these times.  Signs Your Clairvoyance is Opening During Meditation  While you are in meditation or in communication with your Spirit Guides, take note if you see visuals that are not what your imagination would make.  This may also be a sign your ability to see spirit is coming on line.  It is my hope that you will embrace whatever intuitive language you are naturally inclined to receive.

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Andrea Reid, a citizen of the Nisga'a Nation and assistant professor with the University of British Columbia's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and the principal investigator at the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries.  Andrea launched the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries and leads an incredible team where they are working to “build momentum and action in support of the study and protection of culturally significant fish and fisheries” (quoted from cif.fish).  We learned about fish, specifically salmon and Andreas' favorite, the beautiful sockeye salmon, in context to Indigenous knowledge and science, and breaking down the differences between Native fishing practices and the western fishing industry.  We wade into the world of salmon in connection to land,  fishing practices, and place and what this all means not only to the indigenous nations of Canada but to the world of ecology and conservation.   Andrea's work is critical in navigating and healing the deeply damaging results of years of industry fishing and their indiscriminate methods of fishing and the devastating effects that “discard” or “by-catch” have on freshwater species and on rivers, people, and the ecosystem they live with.  Thanks again to Dr. Andrea Reid for taking this time with us. It's a conversation we are still having in our minds and hearts weeks after our recording with her.  Lots of Love.

Now that the new year is underway, maybe it's time to start thinking about what we can do to support our intentions and keep our space clean and welcoming for abundance.  This week we welcome Certified Feng Shui Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Numerologist, Anngee Marlar to the podcast. She's been practicing Feng Shui for over 20 years and loves creating beautiful, clutter-free spaces that support body and soul!   ORACLE MESSAGES FOR FENG SHUI  Boundaries in Feng Shui show up as property lines like fences, gates, etc. So the better these are built and operate, the better and healthier are your boundaries.  WHAT FENG SHUI IS  The literal translation is Wind and Water, but it's really all about energy and how it flows through a space. Quite often the words that you use to describe areas of your life that need improvement are literally the things hindering the flow of energy in that area of your home. Anngee provides some great examples.  WHAT A FENG SHUI ENERGY MAP IS  In Feng Shui that map is something called a Bagua. This map shows what each area of your home represents in your life. This literally overlays the floor plan of each floor of your home as well as room by room.  FENG SHUI TIPS TO SUPPORT YOU IN THE NEW YEAR  Anngee shares some small things you can do in your home to set yourself up for some good fresh energy, prosperity, love and abundance. She specifically mentions things you can do on your porch and front door.  Anngee also reveals that clutter is the most detrimental hindrance to energy flow in your home.  She also shares ways you can remove and replace it for clearing  WHAT YOU CAN DO IN FENG SHUI FOR MORE ABUNDANCE  Here Anngee will give you specific areas of your home, and what to do there, to increase the flow of abundance in any area of your life. She will also give you some unique ways to treat certain areas that may not have occurred to you originally.  TIPS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR HEALTH AREA WITH FENG SHUI  The very center section of the home is the health area. Just as any other location, clutter only creates disorder in the energy. She also shares some unexpected rituals you can do in the area to support your health and happiness.  I hope you've found it amazing how some simple placements and habits can have such a huge impact on your energy.  I hope your energy flows with ease and grace in the new year and here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.   LINKS:  Anngee's Instagram (DM her for downloadable Bagua map)  Anngee's Website  Whitney's FREE Spirit Guide Class  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Listen and she highlights the reasons that seemed to be the theme. Many of her clients also validated they were experiencing just that. A year filled with unknowns.

Does it feel like a new year to you yet? If not, it could be because your energy is not in alignment with what you really want to do. It's so easy to fall out of alignment but it's also really easy to get back in as soon as you realize. In this episode we dissect what alignment is and give you tools to get in and stay in alignment with your soul's purpose.   What An Alignment Cycle Is  Growing spiritually is not an easy process. Obviously growing and evolving includes a lot of change and change is never comfortable. Whitney explains what things in your life can be a cycle with beginning and end.  With every change you move into a new cycle or phase of life that you want to be in alignment with your soul's purpose  7 Phases of an Alignment Cycle  Whitney walks you through the 7 phases you'll experience as you bring yourself into alignment in any area of your life.  Listen as she gives examples of what these phases can look and feel like in your life.  Where Most Healers and Intuitives Get Stuck  We see Healers and Intuitives typically get stuck in the phases that feel closest to their purpose. They may have fear (conscious or subconscious) that if they move on they level that part that does fill and alignment not realized that is exactly what they need to do to grow their gift to the next level.  5 Tools To Stay Aligned in 2024  Whitney shares the 5 ways we can prioritize the things we are doing in everyday life to keep ourselves in alignment and continue to grow.  Why Overgiving Derails Your Alignment  Overgiving depletes your own reserves of energy. If your energy is not complete and healthy how can you ever bring it into alignment.  Whitney shares some real world examples where she has seen this happen over and over.  Here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.    LINKS:  Apply to join our Aligned Mentorship  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

If you can feel in your bones it's time for a change but you are still questioning it, this episode is for you. Can you make that change? We all go through pivots in every aspect of our lives and the best way to navigate those changes is by connecting to your intuition for guidance.   How to Know When It's Time For A Change  Usually when it's time to shake things up your intuition will be giving you nudges or signs.  We may find it hard to trust those messages for ourselves.  Especially if what you're being led to do goes totally against the direction your logical mind would take.  Intuitive Messages That You Need To Change  These messages are going to come in through your primary intuitive language so it may be unique to each person. Listen as Whitney gives you some examples of how she has seen these messages present for each of the intuitive languages.  Symptoms to Look For When It's Time For A Pivot  Symptoms are most likely going to align with your primary intuitive languages. For example if you're a channeler you may experience physical changes that are pushing you to a certain outcome.  Let's go through some of the examples of how that might show up for you.  When your attitude towards something changes noticeably it may be time for a change or pivot and we'll go through how this could materialize in your experience.  How Do You Know When To Give Up and When To Stay “In It”  If some of the symptoms you experience are having a negative impact externally it may be time to not just pivot but change completely. If your health is being affected (mental or physical) it is mostly time to take a real hard look at exactly how you feel and let your intuition help you re-evaluate the best path forward.  How Not To Hit The Spiritual Brick Wall  When you have multiple symptoms showing up and you're seeing repeating patterns resulting from the decision you're making it is imperative to listen and evaluate at that point.  The easiest way to hit the spiritual brick wall, where it's no longer a choice to change but an unavoidable necessity.  Questions You Should Ask to Evaluate Why Something Isn't Working  Whitney recaps the question each symptom should bring up to help you decide if and/or what might need to change or pivot in your life, relationship, or business.  Needing to change or pivot isn't a negative sign something is wrong. It may simply be the next right action on your unique journey.

In this episode we will talk healing, specifically Quantum healing. Our Guest, Deanna Frey. Deanna has a  Master's Degree in organic chemistry from Duke University and spent over 25 years in scientific research before totally switching gears and becoming a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner, Reiki Master and Archangelic Light Master. She helps people heal their spirit, unveil who they are meant to be and step into the flow of their ideal life.  What is the Quantum Field?  The Quantum Field is the energy of the Universe. The energy that is in everything that exists. Deanna explains how healers specifically can focus that energy for the purpose of helping others.  The Bridge Between Science and Spirit?  As spiritually minded people we believe everything that exists has an energy makeup. Science has proven this beyond the subatomic level. Deanna says she believes it's a perfect relationship.   What is  the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)?  The QHHT begins with placing a person into a trace-like state or hypnotizing if you will. Deanna explains how this state of consciousness allows us to connect with knowledge we already have but may not be able to access in the conscious state.  How We Can Heal Through Hypnosis  Just like in any other modalities, it really depends on the person and what their specific needs are. Deanna shares different healings that she has experienced while doing this work. What will happen for someone with a physical issue versus someone more in need of emotional healing. Listen to hear what type of results Deanna has experienced herself and seen in others since beginning this work.  How Your Healing Can Affect Others  This goes back to the definition of Quantum Field. Deanna explains how the healing work affects the Quantum Field and the connectedness of our energy.  Myths About Being Hypnotized.  As the episode wraps up Deanna busts some long held myths about hypnosis, how it looks, and what you can expect from being hypnotized.  Everyone's healing journey is unique. Everyone's needs are different. You may want to ask yourself “What if QHHT is the next step on my journey?”.  The answer may surprise you.

Welcome to the New Year and with the new comes new messages and themes as guidance from our Spirit Guides. Part of that can be learning lessons and expanding your energy as you grow spiritually. In this episode let's look at some of the messages coming through for 2024.  Energy of the Past  Back in July we did an episode on what we could expect for the rest of 2023.  Let's review what lessons we learned in 2023 and the highlights of the energy our collective has been  experiencing in the recent months. These are the lessons our Spirit Guides want us to remember and focus on as we move forward in 2024.  Energy for January 2024 and in the Present  Find out what your Spirit Guides want you to know right now so you can prepare your energy for the themes and lessons as we ease into the new year of 2024.   Energy for the Future  Find out what your Spirit Guides are saying the themes are for 2024 so you can feel ready to move through your year with more ease.  How to Take Aligned Action  Find out what Spirit says you can do right now to align to the themes of this coming year. As humans we feel like we need to be doing to make progress. It is so much easier when we align those actions with what Spirit has in store for us.  I hope these messages have given you some guidance as you step into this new cycle and I wish you the most amazing 2024.

Happy New Year 2024. The new year can be the beginning of a new cycle if you so choose. Maybe, for you, January 1 brings you brand new energy. If so, let's take another look at how best to set your intentions and communicate them effectively to your Spirit Guides as we move into this new cycle.  Get Clear On Your Dreams & Desires  We need to take time to get crystal clear on those heart-centered callings. What do you feel called to do in this life? Connect into your heart energy and feel gratitude and ask your energy when it feels most guided. This is what you communicate to your Spirit Guides. They won't know until you tell them and they can't help until you ask.   To What Are You Willing To Commit  Now it is decision time. What actions are you willing to commit to for this dream to become reality? Committing to manageable action steps will let your Guides know you are willing to make the effort to fulfill those intentions.  Learn From Your Past  Reflect for a minute on some past goals you set but at some point got off track.  Take the learning from that and ask your Guides for help to overcome those obstacles in this new cycle.  Opportunities Arise  Now the door is wide open for your Guides to create opportunities for you that are in alignment with your intentions. Situations to drive you closer to the goal you set for yourself and abiding by the actions you're committed to take. The catch is, now you have to say yes to them to move forward.  Growing Toward the Goal  Changes challenge our comfort zone. Taking advantage of the situations put before you will probably be scary. There will be personal growth on the way to fulfilling your intentions. Listen to your Guides and be willing to go where they lead. Hint: the path may not be a straight line and may look nothing like what you expected.  Theme For the New Year  Whitney shares the value of setting a theme for the year.
