  1. 109: ACCEPTANCE - Courageous Love

    109: ACCEPTANCE - Courageous Love

    Solo episode today. I talk about ACCEPTANCE and what is means to courageously love. *FYI: I use the F-word multiple times in this podcast so if you have littles that you don't want hearing this word, save this for another time; you'll understand the use of the word as I speak... *This podcast is for people who are able to take aligned action right now *I invite you to be a little uncomfortable with me; I share some things that will challenge you and that may activate some resistance within you *“Suffering is born and raised in the gap between what is and what I believe it should have been” - Yaron Etzion; He continues, "What you resist persists. Be available to experience whatever life has to offer. It’s easier to let go. It’s harder to suffer.” *I am not saying to be complicit or just let harm happen; I’m saying, why would we want to contribute more harmful energy to an already harmful situation *get curious about how you are showing up and how it affects you which ultimately affects everyone else in the world because whether we like it or not, we are all connected and what we say matters and how we say it matters *Go the courageous route of love, not the easy route of hate *This isn’t bypassing or crap positivity; it’s a pivot to a way of existing that helps raise the vibration instead of contributing to the low frequencies of fear, hate, anger, judgment *love takes courage, hate is easy *David Hawkins - Power vs Force - high-frequency states / low-frequency states *We have to do it in a way that is loving because if we continue in this defensive hate-filled way, we’re cooked and I’m not ready to be cooked. I got stuff to do in this lifetime and I believe all of us do. We just need a lot of us to be doing the courageous work of loving *bell hooks - courageous love  *move toward acceptance, releasing resistance and control, and allowing life to move through us *How would it feel to choose acceptance of what is? *What happens in your body when you become activated by something someone does or says? What does it feel like in your body when you pause before responding or reacting? Is something reflected back to you that you can look at with love? Your habits continue to show up until you make changes.  *I allow life to move through me without resistance. *I am safe to release old patterns that no longer serve me. *I accept this moment as it is. *Let’s see what happens when we live the belief that love is more powerful than fear and hate.

  5. 105: Oracle Decks - What is an oracle deck and guidebook; how and why would you use one?

    11/05/2025

    105: Oracle Decks - What is an oracle deck and guidebook; how and why would you use one?

    An oracle is traditionally a person, place, or medium through which divine or wise guidance is believed to be revealed. This usually comes in the form of insight or advice.  Oracle decks and guidebooks are flexible, intuitive tools used to channel insight, guidance, and clarity, composed of illustrated cards that convey messages without adhering to a fixed structure. Each card typically features imagery and messages designed to evoke intuitive responses. The meanings are often open-ended, encouraging personal interpretation Oracle decks are used for reflection, meditation, and connecting with inner wisdom. They help users explore emotions, clarify intentions, and receive gentle guidance. Many people use oracle cards as a journaling prompt or to check in with their emotional state. They are focused on empowerment, gently nudging toward deeper awareness and alignment with your inner truth. I walk you through an oracle deck card draw and guidebook reading.  Take what resonates and leave the rest. This particular reading is from the guidebook I have co-created, with art by my sister-in-law, Brenna. When it is published, you'll be able to have some fun with our deck and guidebook. More info to come! Stay tuned.
