    Why You Still Don't Feel Ready (Even After All the Training)

    How many courses do you need before you finally trust yourself?  If you've invested years developing your intuitive, healing or spiritual skills, yet still find yourself wondering whether you're ready to take the next step, this episode is for you. In this episode of Connecting to Spirit, I share a moment that changed the way I saw myself and my work forever. For years, I believed that confidence would come after I learned enough. After one more course. One more certification. One more piece of proof that I knew what I was doing. Then a teacher said something to me that stopped me in my tracks: "Your apprenticeship is over." What followed was a completely different understanding of readiness, leadership and self-trust. In this conversation, I explore why so many capable practitioners stay stuck in learning mode, how to recognise when growth has become avoidance, and why confidence is built through action, not preparation. In this episode you'll discover: • Why readiness is a decision, not a feeling • The hidden reason many gifted practitioners struggle to move forward • How to tell the difference between learning that expands you and learning that keeps you safe • Why confidence comes from doing, not from knowing more • What it really means to have a beginner's mind • The question to ask yourself before signing up for your next course Ready for the next step? If you're feeling called to stop preparing and start practising, I share exactly how to do that in my free live training.

    True Power Doesn't Perform

    She has a doctorate. She worked on world stages — Fashion Week, serious money, serious influence. She still gets offers. Publishing articles for world-famous magazines, opportunities that would turn most heads. And she says no. Right now, she chooses her salon — her loyal staff, many of whom have been with her since she started, and the clients she loves. Not because she had to. Because that's where she's most alive. That moment stopped me in my tracks. Because it cracked open something I've been sitting with for a while — a question about money, and what we actually believe about it underneath all the strategies, the income goals, and the business plans. Most of us were taught to earn money, save it, spend it carefully. We weren't taught how to be in relationship with it. How to love it. How to trust it as a partner in what we're building. In this episode I'm sharing what has genuinely shifted for me — not as a framework, not as five steps to financial abundance, but as what's been real and true in my own experience of money and the energy we bring to it. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things on paper and still feel like money is something you're chasing rather than receiving, this conversation is for you. By the end of this episode, you may start to see money not as something to earn harder — but as an energy that follows alignment, love, and the courage to build what genuinely calls you forward. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why where your money goes reveals where your heart truly isHow to shift from chasing money to being in relationship with itThe simple practice that transforms how you see every business expenseWhy the people at your money table can quietly dismantle your confidenceWhat it looks like to make decisions from intuition rather than fear3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: 1️⃣ Heart-led investing changes your energy, not just your decisions The question isn't just "what's the return?" It's "who will I become if I say yes to this?" 2️⃣ Money follows love The most magnetic thing you can do for your business is be genuinely in your element. People feel it. Clients feel it. Opportunities feel it. 3️⃣ Choose your wizards wisely The people you allow into your money story matter enormously. Give that seat only to those who actually believe in what you're building.

    The Moment You Decide Your Work Matters | Spiritual Hobby vs Spiritual Business

    A spiritual business rarely begins with more clients. It doesn’t start with another qualification, a better website, or finally feeling confident enough. More often, it begins with a decision. The moment you stop treating your work like something you do quietly on the side… and start taking yourself seriously as a practitioner. In this episode, I’m sharing one of the biggest crossroads in my own journey — a time when I lost part-time work, was told to get another job for security, and had to decide whether I would fully commit to the path I’d started building through Reiki and teaching. At the time, I didn’t feel ready. I was scared. I didn’t have complete confidence. But looking back now, I can see that one decision quietly shaped everything that came after — from local workshops in Perth to building a global Reiki education school. If you’ve ever wondered whether your healing work could become something more, questioned whether you’re “ready”, or struggled to fully own your gifts as meaningful work, this conversation is for you. By the end of this episode, you may start to see the difference between having a spiritual hobby… and becoming the practitioner who finally backs herself. In This Episode We Explore: • The subtle difference between a spiritual hobby and a spiritual business • Why confidence often develops after commitment — not before it • The identity shift that happens when you stop minimising your work • Why small decisions repeated over time create long-term growth • How purpose-led work feels different from simply working for a pay cheque • The opportunities available now for practitioners to build meaningful, flexible businesses 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: 1️⃣ A practitioner identity begins long before external success appears The biggest shift often isn’t income or clients. It’s the moment you stop saying, “I just do this on the side,” and begin owning who you are. 2️⃣ Confidence doesn’t always come before commitment Many people wait to feel ready before taking action. Often, confidence is built through the decision to move forward despite uncertainty. 3️⃣ Meaningful businesses are usually built through small repeated choices Long-term growth rarely happens through one giant leap. More often, it’s the result of small decisions made consistently over time.

    Why Spiritual Women With Real Gifts Stay Hidden (And What's Actually Keeping Them There)

    There's a reason so many gifted, sensitive, heart-centred women stay invisible in their work — and it's not the one most people assume. It's not fear of judgment. It's not worrying about what family will think. The real reason goes deeper than that, and once you understand it, everything changes. In this episode I'm sharing what I've witnessed after teaching thousands of intuitive practitioners over 23 years — the hidden fear that keeps the most gifted healers from stepping forward, why your sensitivity is actually the thing that makes you safe to do this work, and why staying small isn't just costing you. It's costing the people who need you. In this episode you'll discover: The real fear underneath visibility blocks that nobody talks aboutWhy your deep care for others is proof you're meant to do this work — not a reason to hideHow your body wisdom protects both you and your clients when you're channelingWhat real integrity looks like when you make mistakes as a practitionerWhy trust only develops if you actually startIf you've been circling the edge of fully stepping into your gifts, this one is for you. 👉 Free live training — Turn Your Healing Gifts Into a Profitable Practice: https://www.lisabrandis.com/home 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/e5CJYW-f8Kg 🌐 https://linkin.bio/lisabrandis  Support the show Hosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International®, Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.

    Am I Channeling… or Giving My Power Away?

    There’s a question I’ve been sitting with recently… and it might change the way you think about channeling completely. In this episode, I explore one of the most important (and often misunderstood) aspects of intuitive work: 👉 Are we accessing higher guidance… or subtly giving our power away? We dive into:  The difference between channeling and inner wisdom  Why discernment matters more than accuracy  How your state (stress, regulation, grounding) impacts what you receive  The truth about “guides” vs your own consciousness  Why two things can be true at once when it comes to channeling I also share a live channeled transmission from Anya, so you can feel the difference—not just understand it. This isn’t about choosing the “right” way. It’s about learning how to stay in your authority—no matter how the guidance comes through. Listen now and begin refining the way you trust what comes through you. 🔗 https://www.connectedtospirit.com/ Support the show Hosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International®, Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.

    You’re Already Channeling — You’re Just Not Trusting It

    Have you ever received something, a feeling, a message, a sense, and immediately thought, I’m just making this up?  Because what if that’s not what’s happening at all? What if you’re already channeling… and the only thing getting in the way is that you don’t trust it yet? In this episode, I’m speaking to the experience of receiving something subtle and dismissing it before it’s even given the chance to develop. Because channeling doesn’t usually begin in the way people expect. It’s not always clear. It’s not always strong. And it rarely feels undeniable at the beginning. Instead, it often shows up quietly. As a shift in your awareness. A feeling in the body. A thought that feels slightly different to your usual thinking. And because it’s happening through you, it’s very easy to question it… or assume it isn’t real. I share a personal experience from a practice session that shaped how I understand this work, and what it revealed about trust, choice, and the way we work with spirit. Because even when something is coming through, you don’t lose control. You don’t override your body. You don’t ignore what doesn’t feel right. You are part of it. And the moment you start to recognise that, something begins to shift. This episode isn’t about trying to receive more. It’s about recognising what’s already there, and beginning to trust what you’re channeling. You’re not learning how to channel. You’re learning how to trust what’s already coming through. If this resonated, go back and listen to the episode "Channeling Is Not What You Think It Is (The Truth Explained)" on what channeling actually is. It will give you the foundation for everything you’re starting to notice now.

    Channeling Is Not What You Think It Is (The Truth Explained)

    Channeling is not what you think it is. You are not being taken over.  You are not losing control and you’re definitely not opening yourself up to something dark. In this episode, I’m breaking down what channeling actually is — not the version you’ve seen in movies, and not the fear-based stories people often believe, but the real, grounded human experience of it. I’m sharing my own journey into trance channeling, including the first time I allowed a direct message to come through, what that felt like, and how everything shifted from that moment. Because when you understand this properly… everything changes. In This Episode, I Share:  What channeling really is (and what it’s not)  My first experience of trance channeling and what it felt like in my body  Why channeling is about allowing, not losing control  The truth behind the fear of “channeling something dark”  How love, grounding, and intention shape your connection  Why I always recommend starting with Reiki  A simple way to begin opening your own intuitive connection The Truth About Channeling Channeling isn’t about losing yourself.  It’s about learning to allow more of who you are. 🔗 Next Steps If this episode opened something up for you, I go deeper into this work in my free training, where I walk you through the foundations of energy, intuition, and how this naturally leads into channeling in a grounded and practical way.

    How to Strengthen Your Intuition (3 Simple Daily Practices)

    You’re not lacking intuition — you’re just not recognising it. The more you notice it, the stronger it becomes. Once you begin recognising your intuition, the next step is learning how to strengthen it. In this episode, I share simple, practical ways to deepen your connection to intuition and start trusting it in your everyday life. Rather than something mysterious or out of reach, intuition is already present — it just requires awareness, space, and trust. I also share a personal story of following a strong intuitive nudge that led to an unexpected and meaningful reconnection, showing how intuition often guides us one step at a time. We explore why slowing down is essential, how overthinking blocks intuitive guidance, and how shifting your focus away from needing to be “right” allows your intuition to come through more clearly. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re intuitive, or wondered how to strengthen it, this episode will help you see that it’s already there — and show you how to begin working with it more consciously.
