    Ep. 79- This Is What Actually Opens Your Intuitive Channel

    If you’re sensitive to energy but your intuition doesn’t always feel clear or accessible when you want it to, this episode will show you why. Your channel doesn’t open through trying harder. It opens through your energy. In this episode, I walk you through what actually blocks your channel, why emotional and energetic patterns affect your ability to receive, and what truly allows your connection to become clear, grounded, and consistent. This is the shift that changes everything from occasional moments of clarity to a reliable, embodied connection.

  2. Ep.78- Stop Outsourcing Your Truth: Reconnecting to your Soul, Intuition, and Self-Trust

    FEB 10

    Ep.78- Stop Outsourcing Your Truth: Reconnecting to your Soul, Intuition, and Self-Trust

    One of the biggest causes of human suffering is disconnection from your soul, your intuition, and the part of you where the Divine speaks through you. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when we outsource our truth to institutions, relationships, other people’s opinions, and the version of ourselves we think we need to be to be loved. That severance creates shame, self-abandonment, exhaustion and a life that doesn’t feel like yours. We’ll explore: • Why “looking outside yourself” creates spiritual confusion • How control, fear of being wrong, and conditioning block self-trust • Why intuitive development is only level one and shadow integration is the work • The parts you’ve locked away that are holding your power • How to reconnect to your knowing and become your own authority This is for the woman who’s tired of performing, tired of searching, and ready to come back to herself not as a concept, but as a lived reality. Listen now and let this be your permission slip to stop conceding your truth to anyone outside of you.

    Ep. 77-Why Your Intuition Feels Inconsistent (and What That’s Teaching You)

    Intuition doesn’t develop in a straight line, and it isn’t meant to feel the same every time. In this episode, I explain why intuitive guidance can feel inconsistent as you develop it, and how that shift is part of learning self-trust rather than a sign of disconnection. We cover: • Why intuition operates on a spectrum • The difference between intensity and accuracy • How daily ritual builds reliability instead of dependency • How conditioning and control interfere with intuitive trust • Why mature intuition integrates into everyday life This conversation is for women developing their intuition for themselves or in service to others who want a grounded, sustainable relationship with their intuitive abilities.

    Ep.76- Lilith, Shadow & the Parts of You. You Were Taught to Hide (Astrology + Therapy)

    If you’ve ever felt too emotional, too intense, or like parts of you needed to be hidden in order to be accepted — this episode is for you. In this conversation, I’m joined by Lisa Brogi, licensed therapist and astrologer known as The Lilith Therapist, to explore how astrology can be used as a powerful tool for healing, self-understanding, and reclaiming personal power. We talk about: • Black Moon Lilith and why she represents the parts of you that were exiled or shamed • How your Moon, Chiron, Saturn, and rising sign reveal emotional needs and survival patterns • The connection between shadow work, therapy, and astrology • Why compassion and curiosity not fixing are what actually create healing This episode is about bringing the hidden parts of yourself back into wholeness. Without spiritual bypassing, and without shame.

    Ep. 75- If Connecting to Your Spirit Guides Feels Elusive, Here’s How to Change That

    Most people are trying to connect to their intuition in ways that keep them second-guessing themselves. They pull cards. Ask for signs. Worry they’re being deceived. And never feel fully grounded or clear. In this episode, I break down what spirit guides actually are, how they communicate, and why learning to connect from within not through fear, tools, or external authority...changes everything. I share: Why spirit guides are one of the most underutilized resources in spiritual awakening The difference between guides, angels, higher self, and loved ones in spirit How fear and unintegrated shadow shut down intuition Why your guides don’t command you and what it means if you think they are How to start trusting what you receive instead of questioning it This conversation is about sovereignty, discernment, and embodied spiritual connection not spiritual hierarchy or blind belief. If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your intuition and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you. Let's work 1:1 on your spiritual abilities: Mentorship Until next time: Stop trying to be spiritual.

    Ep.74- 2026 Is a Year 1: New Beginnings, Identity Shifts & How to Use Your Personal Numbers (Numerology w/ Courtney Taylor)

    If 2025 felt like an ending you didn’t ask for… you’re not imagining it. In this episode of Stop Trying to Be Spiritual, I’m joined again by Courtney Taylor (numerologist + psychic) to unpack what was actually happening in 2025’s collective Year 9 energy and what 2026’s collective Year 1 means for your identity, leadership, and the next 9 years of your life. We talk about numerology in a way that’s practical, grounded, and weirdly validating. Especially if you’ve been in that in-between space where you know everything changed… but you can’t fully see what’s next yet. Inside this conversation: Why 2025 felt heavy: endings, shedding, and “the universe will do it for you” energy What 2026 Year 1 is really about (and why you may not see instant results yet) How to calculate your personal year (and why it hits differently depending on your life path) Master numbers in personal years (11/22) and when they matter The personal day numbers system Courtney uses to plan her life + business (and stop the shame spiral) “Money days” (yes, that’s a real thing in this method) + why Day 8 is best Odd vs even number energy: momentum vs integration (and why some of us hate structure but need it) Compatibility + number dynamics (and why some number pairings feel… challenging) Timing for launches, big decisions, and even conceiving/creation cycles Courtney’s closing message for 2026 is simple: move before you’re ready. Not from chaos. From self-leadership.

    Ep. 72- When Your Intuition Works for Everyone But You

    Listen to this podcast/masterclass if you can read energy clearly for other people, but when it comes to your own life, your intuition feels confusing or quiet. In this episode, I break down why this happens and why it has nothing to do with your gifts or ability. This isn’t an intuition problem. It’s a self-trust and worthiness pattern. We talk about how ego interferes with intuitive clarity, why yes/no questions keep you stuck, and how to ask better questions so your intuition can actually guide your decisions. If you’ve ever felt like your intuition works for everyone but you, this episode will bring clarity. Work with me HERE... Stop trying to be spiritual. ❤️
