    You Don't Have to Know for Sure

    How do you know your connection to spirit is real? In fifteen years of teaching intuition development, it's one of the most common questions I get. And the answer surprises people: you don't always know it the way your mind wants to, with absolute certainty. That's just not how intuition works. While I was watching a basketball game the other night, I felt my dad sitting beside me, watching the game with me the way we used to do before he passed. As I was enjoying his presence, doubt started to creep in. Am I making this up? Even after all my years as a medium, there was no way to be sure. Then came a deeper realization: I didn't need to know for sure. I just needed to let myself trust in the connection and enjoy the experience. I felt loved, and that was enough. In this episode, we explore: • Why hunting for definitive proof is usually the fastest way to talk yourself out of your spiritual connection
 • The difference between healthy skepticism and shutting yourself down, and why discernment and trust actually work together
 • How to tell genuine intuition from the louder voice of ego, the need to be right, the outcome you want too badly
 • Why even the most validated mediums aren't right 100% of the time, and why that was never the point
 • The one thing that's done more to deepen my own connection than any technique
 You don't need louder proof. You need to trust the connection that's been there all along. That's where everything opens up. Join me and Dr. Larry Farwell for The Science of Creating Miracles retreat, August 20-23.

    Dream Tethering with Tim Shields

    When you are a creator, you are supported by creation. In this episode, I sit down with Tim Shields, a writer, editor, and literary collaborator working at the intersection of science, consciousness, and human potential. You may know him from his six-year collaboration with Dr. Joe Dispenza, including the bestseller Becoming Supernatural. He's the host of The Inciting Incident podcast, and he's at work on a new book, Dream Tethering: 13 Keys to Creating the Life of Your Dreams. We get into the creative process as a form of intuition: how writing, at its best, is really channeling, and how editing too early in the process shuts that channel down. Tim shares what it was like working with Dr. Joe and the idea behind his new book, that a dream is a thought made manifest, held by surrender and trust. We also talk about why his best work tends to come through walking. I also share a little about my own beach-walking book in progress, and we land on something I keep coming back to: life is a mirror, and when you trust it's a loving one, that's where the miracles start. Key takeaways from this episode: • Writing in flow is an extension of intuition. When you create, you're connecting to spirit, source, soul
 • The moment you bring judgment in, you shut off the channel. Take off the editorial cap, dump it on the page, and then shine it. That's where the magic happens
 • A dream is a thought made manifest in the physical world, and staying connected to it rests on surrender and trust
 • Not every breadcrumb is meant to be followed. Discernment is knowing the difference, even when something looks good on paper
 • Your state of being shapes what comes through, so tend to it
 • Movement gets you out of your head and into receiving. Walk, and let the answers find you
 • Your uniqueness is the gift. No one else can offer your perspective, so claim it, share it, and live it
 Your dream is your calling. This conversation is about learning to trust where it leads. To learn more about Tim Shields and stay connected, visit his website: https://www.therealtimshields.com/ Join me and Dr. Larry Farwell for The Science of Creating Miracles retreat, August 20-23.

    You Can Be Right and They Can Be Right: A Reading with Zenka

    When you trust in yourself, you start to attract and create a world that aligns with your deepest wisdom, joy, and truth. In this episode, I sit down for an intuitive reading with my guest Zenka, and the conversation that unfolds holds something for everyone. Zenka came in carrying a lot: a two-and-a-half-year relationship she'd recently ended, the demands of co-parenting, and a deeper question about learning to trust herself. Her guides met her right where she was. They spoke to the pattern underneath that last relationship, the instinct to love someone hard enough to heal them, and to the deeper work of honoring your own perspective without making the other person wrong. And running through all of it was the same quiet invitation: to stop abandoning herself, and to trust that she already has the answers she's looking for. Key takeaways from this episode: • We're taught early to distrust our own knowing. Reconnecting with it starts by bearing witness to yourself
 • Confidence isn't bravado or needing to be right. It's trusting yourself and letting everything else be where it is
 • You can be right and they can be right. You may simply be seeing the same thing from different perspectives, and that realization is freedom
 • What feels stubborn is often self-protection, a refusal to abandon yourself when others pull you away from you
 • When someone needs you to be wrong in order to feel safe, that's their work, not yours. Hold your boundary and let them have their perspective
 • If a relationship takes that much work, that's information. It should be easy most of the time
 When we trust the flow, everything tends to work out the way it's meant to. Join me and Dr. Larry Farwell for The Science of Creating Miracles retreat, August 20-23.

    Connecting with Loved Ones in Spirit (When You're Grieving)

    Grief doesn't block your connection to the people you've lost. Sometimes it's the very thing that opens you to it. In this episode, I answer a listener question I think a lot of you are quietly carrying: is my grief — my heaviness, my "low vibe" — keeping me from connecting with my loved one on the other side? The short answer is no. But the longer answer is where the real comfort lives. Vibration isn't a credit score. It's not some external bar you have to clear before your loved ones will show up, because they're already there — they can't not be. What grief does is ask you to be human first, and that part matters. I share why mourning the human loss sometimes needs to come first, why the loved ones we knew in body aren't quite the same souls we connect with on the other side, and how the bond can be soothed and expanded over time when we stop forcing it. I also walk through some concrete tools — including a spirit box, a spirit journal, and a vibration dial you can make yourself — that you can use no matter where you are in the grieving process. And I share a bit more of my own story with my dad and my mom, and why connection looked so different with each of them. Key takeaways from this episode: • Vibration isn't a fixed state or a standard you have to meet — we all have mixed vibrations, and grief is one of them
 • Sometimes mourning the human loss needs to come first — the spirit connection deepens when it's not being forced
 • Your loved ones in spirit have no ego left — you can tell them anything, including how angry you are
 • The soul you connect with after they cross isn't a one-to-one match with the person you knew; there's more of them now, not less
 • Signs are real — feathers, dreams, warm spontaneous memories — and when you think of them lovingly, you're already connected
 • Grief doesn't have an expiration date — a wound can still feel raw decades later, and that doesn't mean you're grieving wrong
 • Connecting with loved ones in spirit isn't an escape from being human. Lean on the humans here too
 Your loved ones are always, always, always there. This episode is about meeting them where you actually are — not where you think you're supposed to be.

    Ask Your Guides: Finding Your Way Back to Joy

    What if the joy you've been chasing has actually been waiting for you all along? In this episode, I'm sharing two intuitive readings from my TV show Ask Your Guides, and what came through surprised even me. Because both guests showed up with completely different questions, and their guides gave them the same answer: stop making it so hard. It's time to play. That's the thing about joy. We treat it like something we have to earn, or schedule, or wait for the right circumstances to deserve. But the guides keep saying the same thing: you don't need permission from anyone else. You just need to stop withholding it from yourself. Tune in as we explore: • Why exhaustion isn't always a problem to fix. Sometimes it's your soul closing a chapter and pointing you somewhere new.
 • How a burned-out therapist-turned-novelist got nudged toward wildflowers, poetry workshops, and a completely different kind of healing work.
 • The ancestor who showed up with a war injury and one message: I sacrificed so you could have freedom. Please use it.
 • Why so many of us unconsciously inherited the grind, and how that pattern quietly runs our lives without us even noticing.
 • How excitement and curiosity aren't distractions from your path. They are your path.
 Joy isn't the reward you get after you've done enough. It never was. It's your birthright — and it can be yours right now. Consider this your permission slip. Join me and Dr. Larry Farwell for The Science of Creating Miracles retreat, July 30–August 2.
