    4 Stages of Spiritual Awakening: The Awakening Framework

    Send a text Restlessness can be a compass. When the job drains your spirit, the milestones feel empty, and your plans stop fitting your life, something wiser is trying to get your attention. Amanda shares a clear, compassionate roadmap for that moment—her Awakening Framework—built from the real edges of burnout, a broken engagement, and the courage to start again. We walk through four stages that make spiritual growth practical. The Call names the inner knowing that life-as-usual won’t work anymore, even if “spirituality” isn’t on your radar. The Quest opens into exploration: therapy, coach training, mentors, and energy work, including the Reiki attunement in Thailand that cracked Amanda’s armor and proved there’s more to reality than productivity. Embodiment is the shift from collecting tools to living them—altars, conversation with guides and ancestors, and daily practices that ground purpose into muscle memory. Mastery gets redefined as steady presence, not perfection: you feel whole without chasing fixes, you teach from lived experience, and you trust the cycle when a fresh Call returns. Along the way, we demystify awakening with concrete signs for each stage, normalize years-long searching without shame, and offer simple practices to anchor your next step. Expect honest stories, zero fluff, and a framework you can use today—whether you’re just hearing the whisper to change, knee-deep in seeking, ready to integrate what you know, or feeling the quiet confidence that comes from standing in your gifts. If this conversation gives language to where you are, share it with a friend who needs it, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and tell us: Which stage are you in right now, and what’s one challenge you’re facing? Your story may be the mirror someone else is waiting for. Ready to go deeper on your journey of personal or spiritual growth?

  2. What Oracle Cards Taught Me About Trusting Myself with Amanda Parker

    What Oracle Cards Taught Me About Trusting Myself with Amanda Parker

    Send us a text What if the clearest guidance is the voice you’ve been ignoring? We open up about how oracle readings shifted from a curiosity to a practical, daily compass—starting with a single card and an unexpected visit from a crow. That moment of resonance turned skepticism into a simple ritual that invites honest reflection, sharper decisions, and a sense of being supported, even on the hard days. I walk through the full arc: a grandmother who read tarot, the early doubts that kept me at arm’s length, and the first time a deck mirrored my life so precisely it stopped me in my tracks. From there, I share the habits that stuck—pulling one card each morning, reading the guidebook slowly, and translating symbolism into actions you can take today. We also explore how a three-card past-present-future spread can frame complex questions without pretending to predict your fate, and how those same spreads have become powerful in coaching sessions by surfacing what clients already know but haven’t named. You’ll hear how this practice moved into my home as a shared ritual with my husband, turning quick check-ins into meaningful conversations about values, fears, and next steps. We talk about the stigma around “woo,” why belief systems matter less than openness, and how to keep the power with you—the querent—so you leave feeling clear, grounded, and ready to act. If you’ve been curious about oracle cards or craving a structure to hear yourself more honestly, this conversation offers both a starting kit and encouragement to trust your own resonance. If this spoke to you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs clarity today, and leave a review so others can find their way here.

    The Shamanic State: Theta Consciousness and Healing with Marta Niccolai

    Send us a text A steady drumbeat can change your state—and your life. We sit down with Dr. Marta Nikolai to explore how core shamanism uses simple, time-tested methods to enter theta consciousness, meet compassionate spirit allies, and bring back practical guidance for daily challenges. No psychedelics required, just sonic driving, intention, and a safe container that lets the ego rest so truth can rise. We break down brainwaves in plain language and map how the shift to theta creates dual awareness: you remain grounded in the room while traveling in non-ordinary reality. Marta shares beginner-friendly techniques for journeying, the importance of clear instructions, and why weekly practice restores spiritual authority. We talk about tailored rituals that make change stick, from small acts with deep meaning to integration steps that keep the wisdom in your body, schedule, and relationships. The conversation also honors boundaries and timing. Not all sessions flow—and that’s okay. Learning when to pause, refer, or say “not today” protects the work and the client. Marta explains when to seek a practitioner, how community circles amplify healing, and why in-person drumming and rattling matter in a hyper-visual, trend-chasing world. Her personal path—from accounting to academia to shamanic teaching—illustrates how life cracks open when you follow the quiet call of spirit and stay with a simple practice long enough to master it. If you’re curious about shamanic journeying, theta states, spirit guides, or the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, this is a clear, grounded starting point. Listen, learn the basics, and try one weekly journey to see what unfolds. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the path.

  4. Year-End Reflection Questions to Close Out Your Year with Clarity

    Year-End Reflection Questions to Close Out Your Year with Clarity

    Send us a text If you've ever found yourself setting the same goals year after year without understanding why they don't stick, this episode offers a different approach. Amanda Parker gets honest about her own journey from living on autopilot—jumping from job to job, saying yes to everything, and feeling like life was happening to her—to learning how to intentionally design her life. The shift didn't come from more ambition or better goal-setting. It came from learning to reflect. In this year-end episode, Amanda shares the practice that changed everything for her and hundreds of her clients: honest, structured reflection. Not the surface-level gratitude list kind, but the kind that helps you understand your patterns, acknowledge both growth and challenges, and make conscious choices about what comes next. She also highlights the podcast episodes from 2025 that resonated most with listeners—covering everything from money mindset to personal branding to intuitive business coaching. Each offers a different lens on the same core question: How do we come home to ourselves? The episode includes Amanda's Year End Reflection Guide, a framework she's refined over eight years of using it herself and with clients. It's designed to help you take stock of where you actually are (not where you think you should be), recognize how far you've come, and create a vision for 2026 that's grounded in truth rather than wishful thinking. If you're tired of repeating the same patterns or ready to approach the new year with more clarity and intention, this episode gives you both the perspective and the practical tool to do it differently.

    How to Get Paid to Be Yourself (Without Selling Out) — Beth Hocking

    Send us a text What if the key to your success isn't about becoming someone new, but reclaiming who you've always been? In this transformative conversation, Amanda sits down with personal brand strategist Beth Hocking to explore how building your personal brand is actually a profound healing journey. Beth shares her powerful story of leaving a 20-year corporate career—complete with director titles, global travel, and multi-million dollar deals—to help women step into their authentic power and get paid to be themselves. This isn't your typical branding conversation. Beth reveals how her own breakthrough came through a surprising download in a sound bath that led to a pivotal identity shift (yes, it involved cutting off all her hair). But more importantly, she breaks down her SEEN framework—a methodology rooted in self-trust, embodied leadership, elevated identity, and notability—that helps her clients move from hiding their brilliance to claiming their space in the world. Whether you're a healer afraid of being seen, an entrepreneur playing small, or anyone who's lost touch with their seven-year-old dreamer self, this episode will remind you that you already have everything you need. The conversation dives deep into the intersection of personal branding and healing, exploring how learning to trust yourself again is nothing short of miraculous. Beth shares client success stories that prove when you stop waiting to be "ready" and start building your brand from a place of authentic self-knowledge, extraordinary things happen—from viral LinkedIn posts to dream job offers to signing clients within weeks. If you've been waiting for permission to step into your power, consider this your invitation.

  6. Spiritual Awakening Struggles: What No One Tells You About the Messy Middle

    Spiritual Awakening Struggles: What No One Tells You About the Messy Middle

    Send us a text What if everything you've been told about spiritual awakening is wrong? Forget the Instagram posts about divine downloads and blissful enlightenment—the real story of awakening is far messier, more isolating, and infinitely more human than anyone wants to admit. And if you're in the thick of it right now, wondering why your entire life suddenly feels intolerable while everyone around you seems perfectly content, you need to hear this. In this raw, deeply personal solo episode, Amanda pulls back the curtain on what actually happens after an awakening experience—the part no one talks about when they're selling you that ayahuasca retreat or Kundalini activation. She shares her own seven-year journey through what she calls the "messy middle": that disorienting liminal space where your old life no longer fits, your relationships start falling away, and you're trying desperately to make sense of an experience you don't even have words for. From her pivotal Reiki attunement in Thailand that shifted everything, to the years of fumbling through courses and teachers trying to intellectualize something that could only be understood through the body, Amanda offers the hand-holding and validation that she wishes someone had given her when she first stepped onto this path. This episode is essential listening if you're experiencing that gnawing restlessness that won't go away, if you're the only person in your circle questioning everything, or if you're secretly terrified that something's wrong with you because the life that looked perfect on paper suddenly feels unbearable. Amanda speaks directly to the shame of wanting "more," the exhaustion of finally feeling again after years of numbing out, and the grief of outgrowing relationships, careers, and identities that once defined you. But she also shares the truth that makes it all worthwhile: on the other side of this uncomfortable transformation is a life lived in full technicolor, where nothing can stop you because you finally know yourself completely. Whether you're already deep in your awakening journey or just beginning to sense that there's something more calling to you, this episode offers the compassionate, brutally honest roadmap you've been searching for. Amanda's message is clear: you're not broken, you're not alone, and the messy middle is exactly where you're supposed to be.

    Somatic Healing in Nature: How Wilderness Reconnects You to Yourself — Amyee Oen

    Send us a text Ever notice how your body tenses before opening an email from your boss, or how your heart races before sharing your work? That activation you've been trying to suppress might not be the problem. What if you're meant to move through those states, not eliminate them? In this episode, Amanda speaks with Amyee Oen, whose perspective on nervous system healing was forged in the wild waters of Alaska, where survival depends on trusting your body's wisdom completely. Amyee's journey from ER trauma medicine to somatic healing reveals what conventional healthcare often misses: presence, attunement, and space to actually feel what's happening in your body. After recognizing she was living in chronic fight-or-flight, she discovered breathwork and somatic practices that changed how she inhabited her own skin. Now she guides others through similar transformations in the wilderness itself. As she shares, "We are animals. We're meant to have all of those states and move through them. We're not supposed to be regulated all the time—we're supposed to flow through states like a wave." This conversation delivers immediately applicable wisdom: track what state your nervous system is in, understand why vigorous movement helps activation but worsens freeze, and learn how nature does the healing work when you know how to receive it. Whether you're successful on the outside but disconnected inside, struggling to use your voice, or exhausted from trying to stay calm all the time, this episode offers a different path.  What would change if you trusted yourself the way Amyee trusts herself in the wilderness—knowing that even if gale-force winds roll in, you've got you? Listen to discover how reclaiming your wildness might be the key to coming home to yourself.

  8. How to Heal from Heartbreak Through Sacred Self-Love — with Saguna

    How to Heal from Heartbreak Through Sacred Self-Love — with Saguna

    Send us a text What if heartbreak isn't something to rush through, but an invitation to transform? Saguna Budhiraja, a crystal energy guide and founder of Ektara Heart in Amsterdam, challenges the cultural messaging that tells us to "just get over it." Instead, she reveals how a shattered heart literally freezes your nervous system, why your relationships mirror your self-worth, and why the real work isn't finding someone new—it's becoming whole on your own. Drawing from her own journey through motherhood, childhood wounds, and multiple heartbreaks, Saguna cuts through spiritual platitudes to get real about self-love. She explores the ancestral patterns we inherit, the performance of love we learned as children, and why grief doesn't follow a timeline. As she says, "When your heart is so shattered, it freezes the body. It's like when you fracture the leg, you don't expect yourself to run." Yet we demand exactly that of ourselves after heartbreak. You'll learn practical wisdom: why asking the right questions before committing matters more than chemistry, how to recognize when a relationship can be healed versus when it needs to end, and what compassion actually looks like in practice. Saguna shares how clients transform through inner work—unpacking wounds, setting boundaries, learning love languages, and practicing self-dating—not through dating apps or manifesting. Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, questioning a current relationship, or caught in repeating patterns, this episode offers something rare: permission to grieve, tools to heal, and a roadmap to love that starts from within. Listen to discover what becomes possible when you finally put yourself first.
