Episode SummaryIn this gripping episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore interviews Brother Athing, a courageous church planter and missionary in Assam, Northeast India. Brother Athing shares his journey through intense hardship—imprisonment, persecution, loss, and natural disaster—and how God used each trial to deepen his faith and multiply gospel fruit. His story is a powerful testimony of perseverance and the unshakable resolve to follow God's call, even when everything else is stripped away.Note: Brother Athing speaks with a heavy accent that may be challenging to understand at times. A roughly summarized transcript of the episode is available to help you follow along.Topics DiscussedHow God called Brother Athing into missions in AssamInitial church planting and early fellowshipImprisonment and being abandoned by a supporting pastorStarting over after jail, with gospel tracts and hospital outreachLaunching a children's school and living in extreme povertyExperiencing betrayal, church arson, and the death of his brotherContinual persecution, including from radical Hindu groupsRebuilding a mission from scratch and launching a training centerThe conversion of a lead persecutor after receiving a gospel tractStrategic use of education as a gospel platformVision for a missionary training center and the fruit of over 38 churches plantedKey TakeawaysOpposition doesn't mean you're off course—in fact, it might mean you're right where God wants you.God tests before He opens doors—every major breakthrough in Brother Athing's ministry was preceded by trial.Faithfulness bears fruit—churches were planted, leaders trained, and persecutors converted because he stayed.Strategic compassion matters—a children's school became both a testimony and a shield for gospel work.God provides miraculously—from provision of land to the transformation of enemies into allies.If you have your own unique story of gospel advance or if you sense God leading you toward a particular people group, we'd love to hear about it.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Most supply chain leaders say they're transforming—but are they really? Or are they just rearranging the same old playbook? In this episode, Maria Villablanca joins Jan, Terry, and Jim to unpack what real transformation looks like in a world where disruption is constant and uncertainty is the new normal.They start with the hard truth: traditional supply chain leadership—focused on cost and control—isn't built for today's demands. Maria calls this a "leadership disruption," where leaders must evolve into strategists, visionaries, and change agents.So, what does real transformation look like? Maria says it starts with intent. The companies doing it right align people, tech, and processes around a unified strategy. They're not chasing tech for tech's sake. They're solving real problems, building cultures that adapt fast, and fostering real cross-functional collaboration.Then the conversation turns to COVID—a crisis, yes, but also a necessary stress test. It exposed how fragile global supply chains really are—but it also made people finally care about them. And that visibility, Maria says, opened a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what the profession is—and what it could be. But now that the crisis has faded, there's a risk of slipping back into the shadows — unless leaders keep pushing the narrative forward.And that's where storytelling comes in. Maria argues that the industry desperately needs better PR. If we want the next generation to choose supply chains over TikTok, we need to start telling a better story.Looking ahead, Maria sees big shifts on the horizon: AI and automation will reshape how we plan, source, and deliver. Supply chains will become predictive, self-correcting, and more autonomous. Globalization will give way to regionalization. Talent shortages will persist, making leadership development and culture more critical than ever.So, what should leaders do right now? Maria's advice: learn to unlearn. Stop recycling old solutions for new problems. Ask different questions. Think differently. And most of all, lead with courage. The best supply chain leaders aren't just running operations—they're shaping the future of the business itself.Themes discussed in this episode:The opportunity to reposition the supply chain as a growth engine, not a cost centerThe importance of cross-functional collaboration to enable real transformationHow COVID exposed the fragility—and value—of global supply chainsWhy the supply chain profession needs better PR to attract top talentThe future of supply chain careers and why Gen Z is key to innovationHow storytelling, communication, and soft skills define the modern supply chain leaderThe long-term impact of tariffs and geopolitics on supply chain visibility and designWhy supply chain leaders must “learn to unlearn” to stay competitive in a fast-changing worldFeatured on this episode: Maria VillablancaTitle: Founder, Villablanca Consulting & Host of Transform Talks Podcast SeriesAbout: Maria is one of the world's leading supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, and digital transformation experts.

“In the feminine model of planning, we have to be willing to trust our hearts and guts and intuitions and future selves and make a plan to fulfill what they are dishing out.” –MiaMany of the women that we work with don't love the idea of being a planner.They want freedom — and a plan feels like the opposite.I get it.Here are a few truths about me:I'm a creative who went to art school because the structure of other school wasn't workingI have been labeled dyslexic and ADHD. I am a manifesting generator in Human Design, which means I need to be able to change my mind and try lots of different things.I have had bouts of being utterly tortured by procrastination.I didn't want the structure of a plan, but I started listening to stories of very successful women, who worked 3 days making plenty of money, were great mothers, frequented yoga, traveled… all the things. And I realized that they made a choice and charted a course.Planning as a Creative ProcessPlanning — even for people who don't like to plan — shifts when we shift how we plan. We need to stop putting together a puzzle of all the things we are “supposed” to do when we plan.When we start weaving a tapestry of what matters most, planning becomes a creative process.When we get creative and focused on what matters, we're more likely to keep showing up for planning. When planning this way becomes a practice, eventually our days are composed only of what really matters to us and our destiny.My favorite definition of planning is this: Planning is just making choices in advance.When I say that to FLOW members or our audience, women heave a big sigh of relief or give a huge AHA!Women are often more willing to be a planner when they shift how they think about planning. Mixing Masculine and Feminine in the Planning ProcessIf you've pushed back against planning, you are probably thinking a lot about masculine models of planning.First let me clarify, when I talk about masculine and feminine planning, I'm talking about energy, not gender.The way we plan and make choices as a society is very masculine, and the negative side of that is that planning has largely been about how much we can do. This is why “busy” became a badge of honor, even though it leads to burnout, stress, sickness, and other issues.That isn't to say masculine energy in planning is all bad. The problem is the feminine is squeezed out completely.We need a balance of masculine and feminine energy to make a good plan. Since we are so entrenched in a masculine model, I think most of us need to dive deeper into the feminine.When we bring the feminine in, the planning process becomes that tapestry of the life we want.Understand the FLOW Planning MethodI drew heavily on feminine energy in creating the FLOW Planning Method, a new way of planning (and yes, it works for non-planners). Let's take a look.CenterThe first step is to center. We want to make choices from the inside out, so we want to be as centered and grounded as possible when it's time to make those choices. When we are centered, we can make choices that truly honor our future self.VisionFrom Center we Vision. We create a picture and feel the result we want as if we've done it. We shift our identities in advance and make the change energetically before we make it physically.Center and vision together can take as little as 2 minutes, though sometimes we give more time for bigger decisions or longer term plans.)DecideWith our vision set, it's time to Decide. When we are deciding how we will spend our time, we often default to what everyone else is doing and what we've done before.

So I felt inspired to talk on the emotional center in Human Design.Ever wondered why you feel so deeply, or why your emotions seem to come in waves? Or you seem to be a sponge for the emotions of others around you? This is all the workings of the solar plexus in the human design chart. We have become so emotionally enempt as a collective, myself included. I share on my past of suppressing my emotions to finding the beauty and power in my emotional experience. In this episode, I cover:My experience of being an emotional being in a family of undefined solar plexusesCreating safety to express and acknowledge your emotionsHow to come to peace with your emotions - clue: it's not making sense of them, but simply releasing themHow emotions are just energy that need to flow from your bodyWhat does it mean to have emotional authorityThe emotional waveHow to master your waveThe lens you see the world through your emotional waveHow those with emotional authority are our teachers in the emotional experienceThe beauty of the full human emotional spectrumWhy you're options don't have to mean something and why we shouldn't attach a story or narrative around itWhat does it mean to have an undefined emotional centerThe danger of assuming in relationshipsSeeing the gift of your empathy, but not being a victimRefraining from needing to fix, solve or people please other's experienceNot creating a personal story around other's emotionsHow to buffer yourself from absorbing too much emotional energy from othersRelease and protection practicesHow to regulate your body Hope you enjoy!Love,Hillary xxJoin me for our upcoming Rest Assured Retreat at SOMA Byron Bay June 28 - July 1.

How do you protect customer privacy and what are the legal implications? How do you make sure you're not intentionally/unintentionally biasing some of the models that you're using to either recommend or automate underwriting?Personalization of the customer experience. How do you help your customers pick the right policies?

So we can put a recommendation engine out there that helps customers pick a policy, they will still want to talk to a person to verify that they're on the right path» But how to ensure the protection of consumer data privacy while serving their needs for a more personal touch? « The technology industry has greatly advanced the ability to do that in a way that protects both customer privacy while still allowing you to do the types of personalization that customers are coming to expect from other industries (…) for example through anonymize the data either through consolidating it in a way or tokenizing it » 

Losing a loved one through medical malpractice has to be one of the most difficult experiences in life. This is Ami Shroyer's story, and she would say she was loved for 100 years in 20 by her beloved Mike. Not everyone gets to experience a love like this. As a traveling teen musician, she met the love of her life. They start their marriage in love and soon after, they started their family. While serving the Lord as a family, preparing land for a new ministry, her husband Mike inhales some debris. Through a series of misdiagnosis and careless medical practice, Mike passes away. Ami brings us into that season of her life, the love, the pain and the beyond. Her name means, 'beloved little follower of the Lord,' and as her story unfolds, you will see her uncommon faith, from just a little girl, to this present day. She is resilient, and has an affinity for daisies, which reminds her of the love of her husband, Mike Shroyer.Hebrews 12:1 - "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3vcl0J7Topics Shared:Beloved little follower of the LordUncommon faithCreative child whose wings were clippedLived in 21 different houses before 21Jesus clubs and writing musicFriend-zoned Bill Gaither's nephewSkipped graduation to travel around the country singingSevered parental relationship made rightMeeting the love of her life"Miracle of Mercy" Mike's life songQuick & happy marriageWorking at Andy Stanley's church, their Atlanta yearsStarting a family wholeness centerThe 5/11 Wholeness JourneyMike gets suddenly illThe Doctors fumble his careMedicinal toxicity and dehydration sets inOne last visitHorrible passingSupermanLoved for 100 years in 20Fields of daisiesName on the front of the buildingA voice for strong homesAmi Quotes:"I always want purpose, not closure. You can't close off a love like this. We are not meant to. We need to continue to live wide open with purpose.""It literally feels like he is on a trip before we get there, but he just got there first.""The night that he passed away my daughter said 'Mom, now it's even. And I said, 'what do you mean?' And she said, 'Well the two babies that are in heaven have Dad, and you have us. It's even."My son said, "I've been thinking, I could be really angry with God that I am 12 and Sadie is 8, and that this would happen, but I got to thinking, if this were going to happen some day anyway, I would rather that it happen when I'm 12 and Sadie is 8, because if it were later in life, you would be all alone, and right now you have us."Resources:Elizabeth Elliot "Path of Suffering"Ami's Website: https://amishroyer.com/Podcast:Journey Through Fields of Daisies (on her website)------------------------------------------For more inspiring stories: https://lettersfromhomepodcast.com/

One time, I had an owner ask me whether there's a universal set of values that all centers should have.My answer was no, actually, there's not.Confused? Let me explain.The truth is that while there are many common values we think we should prioritize, at the end of the day, the values we actually prioritize are the ones that drive our decision making.Here's an example: Oftentimes, I hear owners say that they value intention in their center. But when I ask whether they would be willing to forego growth for the sake of acting with more intention, the answer is no.What that tells me is that intention isn't truly a value for them.And that's okay! Every center has a set of unique values that authentically serves as the foundation for everything they do. What's important is learning to stand by your values—whatever they may be—and create policies within your center that align with them.That's the mark of a strong leader.As part of a special bonus podcast series, I invited my friend Summer Picha, creator of the Conscious Classroom Model, to talk about the insights she's developed throughout her career in early childhood education.Join Summer and I for a conversation about:Her early experience running her Montessori schoolThe ways her leadership changed over timeHow she decided which values to put in place in her centerThe importance of learning to enjoy the leadership journeyWe can learn a lot from people who have gone through similar journeys. I hope you find some useful nuggets of wisdom in my conversation with Summer and spend some time reflecting on how you can apply them to your own experience as a leader.Connect further with Conscious Classroom here: https://www.consciousclassroommodel.com/Learn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic More about the show:If you are an Early Childhood director or owner, prepare to transform your school and life with the Schools of Excellence podcast.

We can get so caught up in how we are seen that we miss opportunities to course correct and expand our views on the world around us. And admitting you made a mistake or that you changed your mind can feel like jumping into shark infested waters. The process of expanding our views and self-correction involves connecting meaningfully with other's experiences and needs so we can see the world outside of our own experience.Sometimes we take in important new data that activates protective behaviors like defensiveness and control while navigating feeling disoriented and uncertain. How we move through these moments rarely looks or feels graceful. Especially because parts of us still resist the discomfort that leaves us feeling out of sorts. But when you commit to growing as a leader and as a human your work is more than an intellectual and tidy process.And it requires deepening relationships with others so you can truly understand from your heart the needs and perspectives of others. Today's guests were willing to share hard and vulnerable stories from their lives and perspectives and what started as a conversation in DMs expanded into this roundtable discussion.Cha Barefield is a powerful speaker, and the host and creator of "The Cha Show".

Loved for 100 years in 20.  Not everyone gets to experience a love like this. Ami did. As a traveling teen musician, she met the love of her life.  They start their marriage in love and soon after they start their family. While serving the Lord as a family, preparing land for a new ministry, her husband Mike inhales some debris.  Through a series of misdiagnosis and careless medical practice, Mike passes away.  Ami brings us into that season of her life, the love, the pain and the beyond.  Her name means 'beloved little follower of the Lord, and as her story unfolds, you will see her uncommon faith, from just a little girl, to this present day.  She is resilient, and has an affinity for daisies, which reminds her of the love of her husband, Mike Shroyer, who loved her for 100 years in 20.Heb. 12:1-"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."------------------------------------------------Topics Shared: Beloved little follower of the LordUncommon faithCreative child whose wings were clipped  Lived in 21 different houses before 21Jesus clubs and writing musicFriend-zoned Bill Gaither's nephew Skipped graduation to travel around the country singingSevered parental relationship made rightMeeting the love of her life"Miracle of Mercy" Mike's life songQuick & happy marriage Working at Andy Stanley's church, their Atlanta yearsStarting a family wholeness centerThe 5/11 Wholeness JourneyMike gets suddenly illThe Doctors fumble his careMedicinal toxicity and dehydration sets inOne last visitHorrible passingSupermanLoved for 100 years in 20Fields of daisiesName on the front of the buildingA voice for strong homes  Ami Quotes: "I always want purpose, not closure.

Let's have some fun and look at the nickname matchup in this first round series.Nickname Matchup: Hawk-Names vs Knick-NamesThe 4-5 matchup in the East should be one of the most compelling series in the first round of the playoffs. Playoff basketball is always decided by the individual matchups. Everyone knows the statistics – points, rebounds, assists – but there is more to these matchups than that. Who has the best nicknames - the Hawks or the Knicks?Enough about the past. Let’s look at the nickname matchups for this series. We will start with the starters.Point GuardThe Hawks are helmed by “Ice” Trae Young. Not only is this a strong nickname but Trae has also adopted shivering after big shots bringing the nickname to life. Ryan Cameron punctuates each of the point guard’s deep triples with “TRAE-T-L for THREEEEEE!”. The Knicks have started Elfrid “Elf” Payton for the whole season. The shorthand nickname “Elf” does not instill fear into any opponent. In fact, it makes you think of Will Ferrell movie character. Advantage Hawks. Shooting GuardAt shooting guard, Bogdan Bogdanovic is going against Reggie Bullock. Bogdanovic, in his first season with the Hawks, is best known as “Bogey”, a smooth nickname for a leading man. His distinctive name and his lights out shooting ability have led to another nickname, “Bangdanovic!” Reggie Bullock has no nickname at all. Advantage Hawks.Small ForwardThe Hawks are happy to have De’Andre Hunter back for the playoffs. Much like his quiet demeanor, De’Andre has not had many nicknames. At UVA, he was known as “Big Game Hunter”, which is reminiscent of Laker great “Big Game” James Worthy. In Atlanta, it was initially reported De’Andre was given the nickname “Megatron” by John Collins and some coaches for being so strong. Hunter later corrected this saying that the real nickname was “Optimus”. For the Knicks, R.J. Barrett has been widely heralded at every stage of his career and has picked up multiple monikers. In a comparison to Kobe, R. J. has been called “The Maple Mamba” because he is from Canada. He has been called “Headband Ro” because his first name is Rowan, “Duke of York” which combines his collegiate and professional teams, and Star J, a clever play on his initials. Advantage Knicks.Power ForwardJohn “JC” Collins’ nicknames have referred to his dunking ability with a religious flair - the “Dunkin’ Deacon” and the fan favorite “John the Baptist.”  Julius Randle has had a ridiculous year- even getting some MVP buzz. His astonishing improvement has made his less than flattering nicknames, “BeyBlade”, truly obsolete. Randle’s other nickname is “Orange Julius.” While a marked improvement, a nickname based on a chain of retail juice stores is no match for a nickname based on a Biblical holy man. Advantage Hawks.CenterThe center match up features a pair of defensive-minded players, Clint Capela and Nerlens Noel. Their nicknames refer to landmarks and are in the lineage of defensive superstar and Hall of Fame inductee “Big Ben” Wallace. Noel’s defense has garnered him the clever nickname “Nerlen Wall” for protecting the basket. Capela, the Hawks big man from Switzerland, similarly has been dubbed “The Swiss Bank”. Advantage Knicks.Now for the reserves.  Advantage Hawks.Certainly, this series will be decided on the court, but looking only at nicknames, the Hawks lead 4-2. I am taking this as a good omen.

Perched from his position as a media analyst at the CIA, Martin Gurri noticed — way before most of us — that change was afoot. Starting in the early 2000s, he noticed the new "tsunami" of information coming our way, and he began to see how it was changing, and would forever change, not just our means of communication, but our concepts of authority and power, and even our societies themselves. In 2014, he put down his reflections in a book — The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium — which might as well be the Uncertain Things bible.Find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Addict, and Stitcher.

// Introduction:Today it's all about YOU. Your higher self, your intuition and how you can learn to tap in and turn on anytime anywhere. We are always being guided to live in our life's alignment, many of us just don't know when or how to listen to the signs from our intuition, angels, or spirit guides. Everyone's had that gut reaction, and through this podcast, you can learn how to listen to it, instead of ignoring those butterflies or inkling to avoid that person or business deal. It's your birthright to live a fulfilling and abundant life. You're listening to these words, in this moment, right here and right now for a reason. Learn how to trust and celebrate the little moments of your guided life by tuning in and tapping into Source. You'll discover your cosmic self, and never feel alone again. If you turn inwards, you'll discover, if you haven't already, that you possess a powerful guidance system that has been within you all along. We are all blessed with an intuitive guidance system and the more we learn to listen to it and use it, the more confident and tactful we will become at reassuring ourselves throughout the journey of this life.We are always being guided, but the more friends, clients and family members I talk to, the more I realize that people don't always know how to listen to that intuition. According to Deepak Chopra, “Intuition is an intelligence beyond your rational mind.”And your rational mind, or conscious mind, is often led by the ego. So It's important to separate yourself from your ego in order to listen to the signs. So in short, Intuition is the way the subconscious mind communicates with the conscious mind. The information that informs ‘that feeling' is real. It's like any other decision but the workings of it – the collection, the storage, the putting together – happen outside of our conscious mind.I personally receive signs from many places, and you likely do too, you just aren't looking for them. I resonate with signs from the universe (sometimes I call this source, or even god, and you can call it Jesus, or Buddha or whatever resonates with you as your higher power, the denomination does not matter). I also get info and downloads from my spirit guides, guardian angels, and archangels (which you all also have, too), and last but not least, I also lean on my personal intuition for info and intel on what to do and how to do it, which is what we will be talking about today. It's like having an invisible force of spiritual guiding gurus always on your side, helping and facilitating you in every aspect of your life. We'll talk more about spirit guides and angels in a future episode, but they do lend a bit of a hand in your invisible intuition, so we'll touch on it a bit today too. Certainly, you've had that intuitive gut reaction, or heard the little voice in your head telling you to do or not to do something. But ask yourself this: How often do you lean in and listen to that intuitive feeling?// Method to Manifesting 101:Thankfully, we all come equipped with an intuition. Many of us may already have a strong connection with it, while many of us are unaware that we have within us an inner wisdom that is always on our side.Jiddu Krishnamurti says, “Intuition is the whisper of the soul.” which I love. Often times, the messages you receive will be a whisper. It will be quiet but omnipresent. It will be meaningful, and full of intel. Sometimes, though, it may not be a whisper… it may be a yell, or a cry, or a repetitive sign you keep seeing. It's important to recognize the different ways your messages come in. Everyone receives and understands signs differently, so unlocking your intuitive “code” can be a super fun process!Taking the steps and efforts to cultivate a more intimate relationship with our inner guidance and wisdom is a journey of self-exploration and empowerment.Honing into and honoring the signs from your emotional body. Investigating potential underlying stories and triggers of physical ailments. Marveling at the magical coincidences of your life. Making time to clear mental chatter to deeply listen to your inner desires. Bringing healing love to unprocessed wounds. Honoring the process of deepening our relationship with our intuition is a journey towards living a more rich, meaningful and connected life.Alyse Parker, founder of Alignment Accelerator, has some wonderful step by step guidance I'd love to share with you today in this method to manifesting segment. In it, I'll outline 6 ways to listen to your intuition, plus a few action items I recommend you start to incorporate into your daily routines... and once you do, your magic and potential will expand beyond your wildest dreams.1. Trust Your GutWe all know the sensation of when something doesn't feel right. When our circumstances are just wrong, it's common to feel a strong urge or twisting of our gut. This is often the most obvious if not first telltale sign that our intuition is tugging at the sleeve of our attention. If something doesn't feel good, right or just simply off, perhaps your gut is telling you it's time for a change. It's so important to always pay attention to your gut. When the neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your gut fire up, you may be feeling either “butterflies” or queasy sensations. Pay attention to those. It's no accident we use the term intuition and gut feeling interchangeably because science has now shown us that our gut has a brain of its own, a second brain so to speak. In fact, our gut has an entire network of neurotransmitters called the enteric nervous system. Be honest with yourself and acknowledge those unsettled feelings; they are there to guide and support you. Listen to them. Follow the hunches until your situation feels right again. Trust your emotional compass. How you feel is your greatest indicator of whether your choices are in alignment with your intuitive wisdom or not.MINDFUL ACTION: Try this with little things at first, see if making a left or a right turn has a different feeling in your stomach. If you immediately are pulled to “turn right instead of left” on the drive home, listen. The more you prime your mind to listening to your initial “gut” reactions, the easier it will be to listen on bigger decisions.2. Follow Energy ShiftsOne way to measure whether you've acted in accordance to your intrinsic knowledge or not is to tune into your energy levels. Chances are you've experienced the feeling of having a weight lifted from your shoulders immediately after making a long-awaited decision. Maybe you sensed a return of joy or energy, charisma and physical stamina that you had felt severed from for some time. How do you feel around a co-worker or potential customer? Drained or energized? Using your intuition to read people can make you a more effective leader or negotiator in your business dealings. If these shifts are present, rejoice in the knowing that you have acted from a place of alignment with your higher, true self.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you're faced with a decision, see if the weight of it feels heavy or light on your shoulders. That's a quick indicator of an energy read in a room or a situation.3. Tune To Your BodyIs a recurring situation in your life triggering a tight feeling in your chest? Or maybe there's a circumstance that sparks that sinking, chronic stomach aches? If your reality isn't paralleled to your innermost longings, your intuition will use your physical body as a medium to bring your attention to what desperately wants to be seen. As many of us have a tendency to ignore our internal guidance system, the repressed messages will develop into more severe symptoms… anything from anxiety and depression, fatigue, migraines, nausea and other physical ailments and dis-ease. What are you experiencing in your body? And what is it trying to communicate to you? What, if any, repressed messages, urges and needs are underlying the physical discomfort you may be experiencing in your life? Open yourself to positive, curious inquiry with the knowing that you intuitively hold the knowledge to be your own healer and transform your life.MINDFUL ACTION: What consistent ailments are coming up in your body? Think about why they may be affecting you, and try reading the book “Heal Your Body” by Louise Hay. In it, you'll find ailments, the connection to personal or professional lockages, and provides mantras for you to say daily to eradicate any physical symptoms you're having.4. Pay Attention to the SynchronicitiesThe Universe will frequently gift us with signs of assurance. Things like seeing 11:11 daily, or always getting lucky pennies are all signs to tap in. Even as we dream, manifest and shoot off rockets of desires through our thoughts and beliefs, the Universe supports us in turn by sending us the circumstances, people, opportunities and situations that will bring our advancement in life. Be present in your day-to-day activities so that you can see the meaningful patterns and coincidences when they occur. These signs can be messages from your higher self that you are on the right path. I also think these signs can also be messages from your guardian angels, archangels, or spirit guides nudging you on the right path, forcing you to listen to something being said, or showing you the way.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you see a recurring sign, say out loud, “what would you like to show me” and focus on the next immediate statement that comes into your mind as an answer. Without thinking, without analyzing. Just the first thing that comes to mind.5. Get QuietIn our world of constant chatter and content bombardment there are multiple forces grabbing for our attention, and it can become challenging to tap into the voice or sensation of our intuition. When we are up against making a decision, it's important to create room for clarity. When you allow your mind to rest, the mud of many thoughts settles, and your mind becomes an open and clear channel for your thoughts and emotions to flow through.Step away from your current situation and bring yourself to a state of mind and location where you can decompress and find some quiet, even just for a few minutes. Dissolve any sense of pressure by focusing on deep, elongated breaths. In this spaciousness, we can dissolve the clutter of our fears, insecurities, doubts and uncertainty to hear the deep, confident, clear knowing of our inner wisdom.In this expansiveness, you have the lucidity necessary to listen, with all your might, to what your higher self is telling you. Even if you are not pressed to make a difficult choice in your life, making it a regular practice to quiet the mind is a great approach to deepening your connection with your intuition. Make space to get quiet. I'll meditate for a few minutes, and just see what the first things that come to mind are - they are often short messages from my intuition and guides telling me what to do. Also if that seems too hard at first, try to just free-write. Journal in a quiet room with relaxing music playing and write quick without much thought to the words, just the first things that come to mind. You'll often receive much clarity from this practice as well.MINDFUL ACTION: Try free-write, meditation journaling for 5 min per day before bed.6. Do Your Shadow Work“You will never follow your own inner voice until you clear up the doubts in your mind.”–Roy T. Bennett. In order for us to experience a clear, uninterrupted dialogue with our intuition, we must clear, touch and heal the parts of ourselves we would rather pretend did not exist. The shadow is a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung, and it refers to our deepest wounds. The wounds from our past or present that have us believing we are flawed, unlovable, undeserving people. (ps. Here's a secret, you don't need to live by those narratives, you can remove the blockages by clearing the shadows. Think of it like mental spring cleaning. Shadow work can support you in embracing all aspects of yourself. This experience of self-acceptance is essential for you to love and trust yourself more, which puts you more in touch with your intuition. By communing with the aspects of ourselves that we attempt to reject and hide, we heighten our awareness of their habitual patterns and thoughts. In regards to tapping into our intuitive powers, this awareness will allow us to skillfully decipher between limiting beliefs, judgments and criticisms from the internal guide that is edging us towards appropriate discernment and caution. As we venture down the path of healing our shadow self and past wounds, we can realize that our history may be projecting onto our present moment. By looking into your shadow work, you will heighten your ability to decipher between pained, habitual thinking and our inner wisdom illuminating our path.MINDFUL ACTION: Try allocating an hour a week to cleansing shadow work.Remember: You possess all the reassurance, encouragement and answers to all your questions. All you need to do is look inside.// Ancient Ancestors:The Medicine Wheel, or Sacred Hoop, is a Native American approach to energy and intuitive healing that can be used to resolve post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, and health issues. It can also be used to call upon your higher power to make decisions for healing and conflict within and outside the body mind. The Medicine Wheel way of healing reconnects you to your intuition, nature, your ancestors, and the infinite circle of life. It guides you to walk your sacred path in balance and with love in your heart.So what exactly is the Medicine Wheel?The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Native American culture thinks that everything has a spirit — a voice, a meaning, and a power. They call this Orenda and it's the basis of energy. When we use this energy properly and live a life in balance, we can cultivate a “good mind.”The Shift Network says that The Medicine Wheel is an ancient symbol of the sacred hoop of life — or the circle of life — in Native American culture. It has been used for thousands of years. Different Nations have different ways of interpreting the Medicine Wheel — the colors, specific uses, and meanings…The Lakota, Ojibwa, and Cree Nations, (just to name a few), have researched and used the Medicine Wheel in therapy for PTSD, trauma release, stress management, problem solving, conflict resolution, business consulting, and more. There are some basics of the Medicine Wheel that are the same across cultures and others that are different. How you use the Medicine Wheel can be highly personal, too.Like Chinese medicine, Native American medicine and culture look to our Mother the Earth for guidance. Observing patterns, shapes, rhythms, cycles, and all of life's natural patterns is part of how we are guided.Circles are important in Native American culture. They are how we connect to nature and all of life. When we see everything as a circle, we can appreciate that the cycle of life has no beginning and no end. Within nature and the human body, we can see many circles represented, like cells, bones, the system of circulation (blood and lymph). Even our DNA consists of circular, spiral patterns (the double helix).Medicine Wheel Image Linked HereImage Credit: Sage GoddessOk, so let's dig into The Seven Directions, and how to read, navigate, and use a medicine wheel.Seven is also a sacred number in Native American culture. Within the Medicine Wheel are the following seven directions. Although there are 7 in total, obviously the 4 main ones are north, south, east and west. Each come with various totems, focuses, elements and herbs. Different tribes have slightly different wheels, but I'm going to focus on the most commonly used wheel today.To use the medicine wheel, I would recommend you say in your head or out loud whatever you need help with or guidance on, it can be an informal or formal question, you can write it down and say a little prayer, or just riff. There's no right or wrong. I'd say something like:“I call forth and open the gates of the east, of air, of the rising sun, the spring time. I call forth your protection and guidance and intuitive support and ask for your guardianship of my journey and current questions. All hail and give thanks to the direction of the east.”Another way can be - to have a little alter or offering plate for that direction in your room. Or You can make your own circle with rocks in the backyard to meditate in, or sit in and face that direction when asking for support...Or simply sit and face the direction wherever you are while you write or sit calmly to meditate to ask for assistance. Now onto the directions themselves...EastThe East is often where we enter a circle and begin our journey. It represents the mental body, childhood, and the spring season. Think about spring as becoming aware of new creation, when ideas show up within your consciousness. It's when something seems to come from nothing or light comes from darkness. It's where we create our vision. If you feel empty, you can look to the East to bring awareness. If you are stressed, you look to the East to heal from trauma (or PTSD). This is where we seek purification, healing, and renewal.SouthThe South represents the emotional body, adolescence, and the summer season. It's where we work out our emotions and relationships with others. We experiment with people, ideas, and experiences. It is the time for taking our vision and testing it out (or going on a vision quest). We test out our values and identity to understand what works for us vs. what others teach us. As we look to the South, we can move from confusion to wisdom. It's also a place where we learn patience and commitment, moving from feeling like we have to have a result right now, to being willing to put in the time and work for those results. If you need guidance on a relationship issue with family, friends or coworkers, look to the South for support.WestThe West represents the physical body, adulthood, and the fall season. It is where our ideas are coming into physical form and we can see them in action. It's a time when we recognize that we have to show up and do the work to create the results we want in our lives. We begin to understand and honor that we are physical beings on an important journey. It is a time to right the ship, get unstuck, shake things off, and move forward in our lives. This often includes letting go of limiting beliefs and holding true to our values. We learn that it's important to honor and take care of ourselves because we now know the difference between self-care and being selfish. If we are willing to respect ourselves and others, we also bring humility to the wisdom of maturity, which is the goal. If you need guidance on finding the right course of action in life or a circumstance, you know kind of cleansing that shadow work we talked about earlier… let the West help you remove the past to outline your future (either immediate or long term).NorthThe North represents the spiritual body, the elder, and the winter season. The North is the true source of all things, Creator, Orenda, or Great Spirit energy. In this direction, we understand the process of change and recognize that we find our place in the world by seeing things through to their completion. We work on caring vs. apathy and we realize that we can't receive care and love from others until we care for and love ourselves. In this direction, we often find clarity and deep wisdom. We no longer fear not having the answers because we trust being led. If you need help with self-care or caring for others, look to the North for guidance.DownThe downward direction represents Mother Earth and our connection to her, along with our connection to the soil. We learn that our Mother, the Earth, is always there supporting us. In this direction, we realize we have the opportunity for growth and as we feel our connection to Mother Earth, we are always safe. If you are not feeling supported, heard, or helped in your journey, look down to the earth for grounding guidance.UpThis upward direction represents Father Sky and your higher self. Looking in this direction, you recognize that you are part of the circle of life, the intersection of eternity. This is where you learn to become who you are and give of yourself from this place. If you want to connect to your intuition and higher self, look up and ask for daily support to awaken and tap in.CenterThe center of the circle is you. It's where you realize that you are in the locus of control. You can shed everything others have told you. You stop looking to other people to tell you what to do and listen to your own body and inner wisdom. You focus on being who you are with authenticity. Feeling yourself in the center of the circle can be tremendously transformational because you can look to all other directions and honor all emotions without fearing the negative ones. This is where you can find meaning on your journey, even if you are in a phase of your life that is particularly difficult. Find your inner strength and trust that your wellbeing is in your hands. Similar to up, looking within, to your center will also help you connect with your intuition. Put both hands on your heart as you close your eyes and focus on your center, which will remind you of your strength if you are feeling weak.The Medicine Wheel is represented in a circle to remind us of this continuous cycle. We are taught that this is the circle our ancestors walked. In this circle, we carry our ancestors and their strength within us. We carry their lessons and their dreams. This reminds us that we are never alone. It reminds us that we can call on our ancestors for guidance because they've walked the circle for thousands of years before us. This deep history is very grounding and can provide support and guidance through trauma, stress, or grief.I'll be sure to link a photo of the wheel in the episode notes, and I'll be sharing info on instagram for guidance and coursework on this too!// Mindful & Metaphysical:Interestingly enough, science shows there is retinol tissue in the location of your “third eye” that has neurotransmitters, the same connective receptors that speak to your brain (yes, the same way your eyes do to show visual cues). So we literally have a third eye, it's not just a woo-woo expression save for yogis and meditation gurus. By accessing your pineal gland, and working with your third eye, you can unlock your inner consciousness and intuition. You'll be shown ways to let life in, and feel supported in every aspect of your life, while having your deepest desires manifested.Researchers at Leeds University analyzed a hefty pile of research papers on intuition. They concluded that intuition is a very real psychological process where the brain uses past experiences and cues from the self and the environment to make a decision. The decision happens so quickly that it doesn't register on a conscious level. Intuition exists in all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, and the more we can learn about it, the more we can use it to shape our lives for the better.Basically, the human brain has two ‘operating systems'. The first is quick, instinctual and effortless. This is where our intuition lies. Intuition works by drawing on patterns collected by our experience and when we have to make a quick decision about whether something is real, fake, feels good, feels bad, right or wrong, we draw on these patterns. It all happens ‘offline', outside our conscious awareness. The second operating system is slower to respond. It's more analytical and deliberate and it's conscious.Science has found real evidence to support the existence of intuition. There was aw wonderful study performed called, “Deciding advantageously before knowing the advantageous strategy” which showed how the intuitive part of our brain knows the right answer long before the more analytical part.In this study, participants played a card game which, unknown to the participants, was rigged from the beginning. Participants had to choose from one of two decks of cards. One was rigged to provide big wins, then big losses. The other – small gains but hardly any losses.The participants reported that after 50 cards, they had a hunch about which deck was safer. After 80 they were able to explain the difference between the two decks.But here's where it gets interesting – after only 10 cards, the sweat glands on the palms of their hands opened whenever they took from the dangerous deck. It was then that participants started to prefer the safer deck but there was no conscious awareness that this was happening. So, before the analytical part of their brain knew what was going on, the subjects' intuition guided them towards a better decision. Pretty cool, right?I also want to share insight from a great Forbes article, where Dr. Judith Orloff MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA and author of Guide To Intuitive Health and The Empath's Survival Guide has a private practice where she works with women executives who come to her to develop their intuition. They see it as a ‘superpower' to use in all decisions at work as well as a guide for how to be good leaders and organizers.According to Dr. Orloff, scientists believe intuition operates through the entire right side of our brain, the brain's hippocampus and through our gut (the digestive system has neurons as well). And this is where it gets interesting for us ladies. Women's corpus callosum, the connective white matter that connects our left and right brain hemispheres together, is thicker than men's. This more substantial brain super highway gives us women better and faster abilities to access each hemisphere, further integrating our emotion and gut feelings with the more logical left hemisphere into our decision making process. Basically women's brains have superpowers and are actually optimized for rapid intuitive decision making. No offense to the boys, certainly they have intuitions, and strong ones at that, they may just have to work on thickening their corpus callosum to connect their hemispheres and bring on more intuitive guidance!- - - - - - - - - - -As always, thank you for reading along, listening to, sharing, and subscribing, and don't forget to stay Mindful & Divine.x.shanaMindful Divine WebsitePodcast • YouTube • Book • InstagramQuestions?

Coach Cass is a relationship coach and author of Princess Zara's Birthday Tradition. A children's character created by Coach Cass to promote diverse representation in mainstream media. Cass and her husband started the journey of conception after some nudging from their family. She started checking for ovulation and taking pregnancy tests regularly. Cass learned a new skillset as most people spend most of their lives trying not to get pregnant until they're ready.Learning all they could to help plan for their child's birth was very important for Cass and her husband. Yet they felt that when their questions and concerns were brought to their care provider, they were either ignored or dismissed. Her provider's attitude toward her wanting to explore traditional birthing methods against the usual hospital protocols proved to be a deciding factor in the shift of her care. Making a tough decision, at 33 weeks, Cass and her husband transferred their care to a midwife. Their plan shifted to a birthing center that allowed her to create an environment and team that met the needs of her birth vision. Cass focused on how important it was to sit with her midwife, go through her transferred records, how much it meant to her to be heard, and have her time-honored. Join us and listen in for an empowering story of controlling what you can, educating yourself, and building your birth dream team.ResourcesLe Tote Maternity | maternity fashionMirlande “Mimi” Casseus (Mimi MyMidwife) | licensed midwifeTiquana Williams (Milk Made Doula) | doula supportHollywood Birth Center | birth centerThe business of Being Born | documentary centered around childbirth in AmericaZara & Ziggy | children's bookInspire Many | Coach Cass Love Coach
