My favorite RDH origin stories are the ones of people who didn't originally plan to become dental hygienists and somehow fell into it and end up loving this career. That was the case for Wafaa, @the_hijabi_hygienist, an influencer hygienist practicing clinically for 9 years now. She faced challenges in her pre-req classes as a pre-med student, and just so happened to be getting orthodontic treatment at the university she was attending when she realized dentistry piqued her interest. She conveniently had all the classes she needed to apply for the dental hygiene program and ended up getting in on her first try. Right after gaining her license, she decided to jump into the dental hygiene master's of science program with aspirations of becoming an educator in the future. Wafaa admits to facing challenges through her schooling, but is glad she persevered and enjoys her career in dental hygiene as well as helping her followers become RDHs!

It's time to visit a favorite topic from the archives! Sonia C. has noticed a lot of her clients struggle with their body's natural energy. As empaths and naturally sensitive people, we have to really be connected to our physical body or else our own spirit shuts down and we won't be able to hear the important messages coming through.   This week's theme is: Keep grounded by listening to your body.   Highlights: Sonia T. knows if she doesn't move her body, her spirit gets squeezed out. [1:20] How does Sabrina stay grounded with her body? [3:00] Sonia C. knows when she takes care of herself, she can better filter other people's opinions out. [4:15] Sonia C. has learned that she can't work every day, she has to go outside, and she needs to be connected to the earth. [10:00] What self-care activities help the ladies keep grounded? [16:45] How do you stay grounded when you have such a fast-paced and busy day? [23:00] If you're more reactive to stressful energy, try a walk-and-talk meeting. [27:45] When you're grounded, you start minding your own business! [37:40] Tool of the Week: Reorient your day around the practices that connect with your body. [39:10] Question of the week: How does one determine if they are a farbissina? And if I am one, how do I change? [42:20] Sonia T. knows that if she doesn't move or have a physical connection with her body, not only does her spirit suffer but it has a direct effect on her ability to connect with her higher powers. As sensitive people, we get saturated with other people's energy and if you do not take time to ground yourself, then that's the start of the cookie crumbling.  Taking care of yourself physically is the most important thing you can do to live an intuitive life. Empaths need grounding! Sabrina has seen the negative impacts of an ungrounded intuitive. In fact, they actually end up overdoing things that come out through bad habits, like shopping, overconsumption of food, and more. However, if you take care of your inner needs, a lot of these external self-soothing strategies will subside. Tool of the Week: Reorient your day around the practices that connect with your body.   Question of the Week: How does one determine if they are a farbissina?

[42:58]  Tool of the Week: Get an oracle deck and start working with it. [44:35] Question of the Week: I'm excited but overwhelmed to use my oracle cards. Is there a right way to use them? [45:05]    Oracle cards are a hot topic in the spiritual intuition community, but some people are afraid of them! Did you know you can make your own oracle cards? Do you know how to shuffle them? Do you know what to expect from them? Oracle cards offer a beautiful way to connect with your guides and with your intuition, and they create a venue for connecting with your higher self. Think of the cards as a telephone! You connect with the cards, and your higher self makes a suggestion that you can choose to follow or consider.    Oracle cards can be a great source of reassurance. They can ignite your imagination and connect you with your older, wiser soul. The cards can guide you, highlight what you're resisting, and bring to light what you are most in need of at this stage of your life. Pull a card for some in-the-moment guidance and see what happens next!    Tool of the Week: Get an oracle deck and start working with it.   Question of the Week: I'm excited but overwhelmed to use my oracle cards.

When life deals you an unexpected blow, do you crumble or transform? For Briana Rice, a devastating collision with a semi-truck in 2021 didn't end her story, it began a powerful new chapter. Briana takes us through her remarkable journey from scientist and world traveler to traumatic brain injury survivor and advocate. With raw honesty, she shares how she initially thought her life was over after suffering brain and spinal injuries, only to discover that these challenges would become the catalyst for her greatest transformation. Through intensive rehabilitation, Brianna not only regained her strength but also found her voice as an advocate for brain injury awareness.Her path to healing led her to compete in and win the Woman of Achievement pageant with her platform "Grace for Your Journey", a message that resonates deeply with anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As Brianna explains, "Sometimes you have to crumble to put the pieces back together, to build something new and more beautiful." This philosophy anchors her work as an author in the anthology "Women We Are Stronger Together" and as the director of the Riverside Chapter for the Global Society of Female Entrepreneurs, where she creates spaces for women to support rather than compete with one another.Perhaps most touching is Brianna's dedication to honoring her friend Justin Bowman, a fellow brain injury survivor who passed away in 2024. Through her Blackberry Merlot wine festival and charitable foundation, she continues to raise funds for those who need treatment but cannot afford it. Brianna's story reminds us that our darkest moments often contain the seeds of our greatest purpose, and that with grace, resilience, and community support, we can not only survive our traumas but use them to create meaningful change in the world.Ready to find grace in your own journey?

Building foundational knowledge is key to being successful in school, especially in dental hygiene school, where all the topics overlap with each other. I've dedicated this episode to explaining why it's important and tips on implementing this into your study routine. As a former educator at several dental hygiene programs and tutor for the DH national board exam, I've seen a pattern in students of those who succeed and those who fail and struggle in the classroom.

Claim the early bird sale (limited-time) at unlockgodmode.org ----------------------In The Sin Against the Holy Spirit, Neville Goddard explores one of the most controversial biblical statements—the one unforgivable sin. Many have speculated that this refers to a moral or sexual transgression, but Neville reveals that it is something far deeper and more profound.According to Neville, Christ is not a person but divine history inwoven in every individual. This divine story unfolds within you, culminating in the moment when you stand face to face with God, the Ancient of Days. At that moment, you are supernaturally prompted to confess the truth, and you will be asked:“What is the greatest thing in the world?”The Holy Spirit will prompt the answer within you:“Faith, hope, and love, these three abide. But the greatest of these is love.”If you respond correctly, you are embraced by infinite love and united with God forever. This moment marks your complete spiritual awakening—the realization that you and God are one.Neville asserts that no one can truly fail this test because the response is automatic, like an echo. It is already embedded within you. This is why he believes it is impossible to sin against the Holy Spirit. The only way one could theoretically commit this sin would be to consciously refuse to confess love when prompted by God Himself—something Neville finds unimaginable.Everything else—all blasphemies, all sins, all failures in life—are forgiven. Every mistake you've made is merely a state you temporarily inhabited, and you can shift states at will. The only thing that matters is your final confession before God, and when the time comes, you will say exactly what you are meant to say.Key Takeaways for Application:You Cannot Truly Sin Against the Holy Spirit – The one “unforgivable” sin is the refusal to confess love when supernaturally prompted before God. However, Neville insists that no one would actually do this, as the answer arises naturally within you.All Other Sins Are Forgiven – Every action, mistake, or perceived failure in life is just a state of consciousness. You can step out of any state at any time by assuming a new one.Christ is Not a Person, But a Divine History Within You – The life of Christ is a condensed version of a process unfolding in you. Everything said of Jesus in Scripture will one day happen within you.You Will Stand Before God – When the moment comes, you will be asked a simple question about the greatest thing in existence. Your answer—love—will unite you with God.The Synagogue Represents Divine Instruction – In the Bible, the synagogue is not just a physical building but a spiritual gathering where divine truth is revealed. There, the truth of Scripture is made clear.The Holy Spirit Will Speak Through You – When you stand before the Ancient of Days, the Holy Spirit will ensure you say exactly what is required. There is no need to worry or prepare.You Have the Power to Forgive Sins – The real meaning of Christ's words, “Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven” (John 20:23), is that you can change another person's reality by assuming a new state for them.Imagining Creates Reality – Every condition in life—wealth, poverty, health, suffering, success, failure—is a state. You can free someone from their limitations simply by imagining them differently.Faith, Hope, and Love Are the Keys – These three qualities define the awakened soul, but love is the greatest of all.Your Journey is Already Written – The tree of life has fallen into you, but the branch will rise when the time is right. Your spiritual awakening is inevitable.Neville assures us that we need not fear the so-called unforgivable sin. When the moment of divine judgment arrives, we will all confess the truth and be united with infinite love. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers...

Episode 279-Fighting For or Against You? There's a recurring question that has been playing throughout my mind. Are we fighting for God or are we maybe unknowingly, or knowingly, fighting against Him? As Christians we better know that we are in a war. The problem is we likely really aren't cognitively aware of the war until our attention is called to it.  The evil one's main weapon is that little three letter word s-i-n. If he can get us to sell out to sin, he can destroy any influence or effectiveness we have in the world.  God has weapons too. His most effective weapon is that five-letter, living word of Grace. We have to want to implement the strength of His grace to defeat sin. In other words, we have to push the grace button if we want help.  We have grace if we have accepted Christ, but we in order to win the war, in order to apply the strength of God's grace in our lives, we must admit we are weak and need God's help in order to live in God's freedom rather than the bondage of sin. Psalm 139:23-24 NLT is what I want to leave you with. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Make that your prayer.  If you are interested in joining us for my coaching group, please go to https://Teresashieldsparker.com/overcomers/  Until Next week, Sweet Grace for Your Journey.

Sonia C. is relishing in the spirit of growth. She is excited for the opportunity to grow into the next present and aware version of herself. She's examining what supports (and what distracts!) her ability to listen to her inner guidance. Sonia T. is shocked at how quickly her year is filling up and is ready to set some boundaries that will feed her spirit all year long. The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to pause and consider what truly energizes your spirit.    This week's theme is: A great year starts with intentions that feed your soul.    Highlights: Sonia C. is discovering the culprits that distract her from listening to her inner guidance. [1:28]  Sonia T.'s year-long calendar is filling up too fast! [2:40]  The importance of tuning into what your spirit is telling you. [4:18]  Sonia T. is ready to slingshot her phone to the moon – it's blocking her intuition. [5:00]  Redefining your energetic boundaries in 2025. [8:36]  Create more than you consume. [11:10] Be empty and be present. [13:03]  The beauty of creating and connecting in the kitchen. [17:25] Social media is not the answer, connecting in person is! [25:03]  Tool of the Week: Create energetic boundaries and connect with a good book or a live event. [28:35]  Question of the Week: How can I utilize these guidance tools more at work? [36:00]    It has become far too easy to get sucked into the illusion of productivity, starting with the minute we pick up our smartphones. Although a useful tool, phones have a way of tricking us into believing that we are accomplishing far more than we actually are. And what's worse, our intuition is immediately blocked when the phone is on. Sonia T. is ready to take on 2025 without giving into the constant pull from her phone. Her intuition is saying enough!    Our spirits are craving connection, but scrolling on social media is not the answer. Connecting in person, creating in the kitchen, or reading a book will feed your spirit in a way that technology simply can't. The start of a new year is a perfect time to create new boundaries that will allow you to feed your spirit. Take charge and get ready for a great new year – one where you are in control of the energy that you bring to your life!   Tool of the Week: Create energetic boundaries and connect with a good book or a live event.   Question of the Week: How can I utilize these guidance tools more at work?   Continue on Your Journey:   Get Sonia Choquette's New Book Read Life ACCURATELY:  https://amzn.to/40JQzuv More Sonia Choquette at www.soniachoquette.com Join Sonia Choquette's Vibe Tribe Follow Sonia Choquette on Instagram Read Life Accurately: Recognize and Respond to What's Really Happening – A New Book by Sonia Choquette Order Sonia Choquette's New Book Trust Your Vibes Guided Journal True Balance book by Sonia C.   More Sonia Tully at www.soniatully.com Book a Reading with Sonia Tully  Follow Sonia Tully on Instagram Book a Discovery Call with Sonia Tully - update link to https://bit.ly/3BGktFL Free Spiritual Toolkit and Meditation   Connect with Sabrina at www.sabrinatully.com Buy Sonia and Sabrina's Book You Are Amazing   Share with us your questions and vibe stories at itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com and vibecheck@soniatully.com

This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I have a gift for you! I'm sharing the 1st chapter to my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom. In this chapter I start off my book defining Financial Freedom and Independence and addressing the various financial independence approaches. I highlight the importance of setting financial goals, even if they seem unattainable initially, and the personal growth achieved through the pursuit of FI. Financial Independence doesn't necessarily mean you need to quit working, instead it's about having options and control over your financial life.  In the first chapter of my book I share:  How to choose a path other than the basic personal finance and elite FIRE approaches and create your own financial path to Financial Freedom That financial independence is not about accumulating wealth but about the personal growth and skills gained along the journey. That the idea that retiring early is impossible or unrealistic is a common misconception. This decision is personal & can vary from person to person. Why you should view financial freedom as a form of control and peace of mind, even with any current financial constraints.
