    Leaving New Age Priestess Culture Behind: Death & Rebirth, Sacred Feminine, and Returning to God

    Send us Fan Mail Laura shares a long-documented spiritual awakening, describing how repeated cycles of “death and rebirth” deepen consciousness, faith, and connection with God, spirit, ancestors, and guides. Raised Catholic, she recalls confusion, shame for asking questions, and later seeking soul-resonant truth outside strict religion. After aligning with online “sacred feminine” and priestess spaces, she becomes unsettled by practices she views as dark and exploitative, prompting a pivotal year of anchoring into her own faith and channel.  She reads a January 7, 2025 journal entry describing meditation experiences with God and Jesus, reflections on childhood trauma, releasing goddess/deity worship, and guidance from Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary emphasizing God-centered devotion, love, and being a mystic rather than adopting labels like “witch.” Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    Evil Hiding in Plain Sight: Pop Culture, Celebrity Worship, and the Demonic Obsession With Sex

    Send us Fan Mail Host Laura argues that pop culture has long normalized “evil hiding in plain sight,” urging viewers to stop pedestaling celebrities, develop discernment, and reject subliminal, divisive messaging—especially the mainstream saturation of sex in TV and streaming content. She cites Russell Brand’s Christian rebrand and book tour alongside ongoing sexual assault and rape allegations, claiming he uses the Bible to manipulate perception. She also questions Michael Jackson’s legacy, referencing alleged child sexual abuse, Neverland Ranch details, and media suppression of documentaries. Laura critiques celebrity feminism and hypocrisy, using Beyoncé and TikTok trends as examples, and calls out hypersexualized shows like Euphoria as culturally damaging. She links celebrity culture, mainstream media, government power, and the Epstein files, recommends independent journalists over major outlets, and encourages balanced engagement with boundaries and spiritual grounding.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    Mother's Day Without Your Toxic Mother: Healing the Mother Wound, Grief, and Boundaries

    Send us Fan Mail Laura shares a candid Mother’s Day reflection on healing the “mother wound” and living with estrangement/no contact with a toxic mother, drawing from four years without a relationship and a childhood marked by psychological, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and scapegoating. She describes the grief and anger that resurface, the longing for a nurturing mother she will never have, and how parenting her daughters helps her re-parent and heal parts of herself while also deepening grief. Laura discusses generational trauma, the importance of boundaries as self-love, and reframing guilt and fear as outdated patterns from childhood. She explains why no contact was necessary for her and her children’s wellbeing, encourages somatic and inner-child healing beyond talk therapy alone, and affirms listeners as cycle breakers ending harmful lineage patterns.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    We Operate at the Frequency We Live In: Discernment, Integrity & Energy Hygiene for Intuitives

    Send us Fan Mail Laura explains that healers, lightworkers, and psychic mediums “operate at the frequency” they live in, so doing personal healing and maintaining a clear, clean vessel is essential to access true divine guidance rather than lower-vibrational or deceptive energies. She says clients can mirror a practitioner’s unhealed wounds, making discernment and embodiment critical, and warns seekers that not every intuitive works in integrity; trustworthy guides should lead clients back to themselves with tools, not claim to have all the answers. She cautions that entities can masquerade as loved ones, stresses daily energy hygiene, boundaries, intention-setting, and reducing low-vibration inputs (toxins, alcohol, certain media). Laura shares early-career lessons about overexposure and poor boundaries, gives an example of a biased, fear-seeding reading, and closes by inviting feedback and offering contact and services.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    Is Social Media Serving You? Boundaries, Energetics, and Stepping Back as a Heart-Led Entrepreneur

    Send us Fan Mail Laura discusses social media’s positive and negative influence and invites listeners to reflect on whether it truly serves them, how it feels energetically in the body, and whether it fuels addiction, comparison, and inauthenticity. She shares her journey from fearing social media pre-2020 to using it through an MLM and entrepreneurship, then noticing anxiety, anger, and “energetic funk” within minutes of logging on, especially as a highly sensitive person. She explains how social media can cloud intention for heart-led entrepreneurs, amplify pressure from influencers and business coaches, and encourage oversharing—particularly involving children—leading her to delete past posts and step back since last August. Since reducing use, she reports improved clarity and substantial business growth via word-of-mouth and email, and encourages boundaries, energy hygiene, and exploring alternative platforms.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    Season 3 Return: Winter Hibernation, Healing Isn’t a Phase, and Birthing New Beginnings

    Send us Fan Mail Laura returns to the Higher Paradigm channel for season three after an intense winter in Western New York, using the season as a metaphor for her own internal hibernation and deep healing work. She challenges “healers” and spiritual communities she’s seen on social media for spiritually bypassing and claiming they’re done healing, arguing that true healing and spiritual growth are lifelong, require facing pain (including ancestral wounding), and involve co-creating with God rather than avoiding responsibility. Laura shares how stepping away from social media since last August has been freeing and helped her release the need for validation. She reflects on winter healing practices, witnessing her sister’s calm, sacred natural birth at a birthing center, and launching a new postpartum business with her sister, Happy Harvest Kitchen, with plans to launch by summer.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!
