The Contemporary Medium Hope Taylor: Spirituality, Ascension, Life After Death, Angels, Inspiration

In this episode, I recap our October Energy Reading for the Collective and in the ways it played out for me! The themes showing up for the November Energy Reading for the Collective are:
-Don't rush to respond, respond with complete intention after you have considered all the facts
-Bring in the Joy
-Shake off the Seriousness
How are you supposed to stay in tune with yourself and your intuition if you have been stuck in this serious place where you can only see one perspective and it never ends the way you want it to. You must learn how to shift into that joyful side of you to allow the other perspectives in. Connecting with this less serious side will shake lose the things that are holding you in patterns.
This can be in your work, your love, your overall life decisions. If you simply don’t have the time to slow down and connect to the joy in life are you even living? Don’t you want to feel like you have fulfillment of some sort. Don’t you want to leave room to align with your own’s souls calling. The wisdom is here. It’s here in your heart and the things that make you feel alive.

In this podcast, Brandy and I discuss various topics related to astrology, energy, and self-care. First, we do a recap of September, noting that it was productive but also demanding due to the nature of the industry. We share a self-care hack of slowing down when feeling anxious about moving too fast and emphasizes the importance of not allowing anxiousness to disrupt their life.
Brandy and I dive right into an October Energy reading for the Collective. The conversation then delves into astrological insights for the coming month of October. This month comes with a deep sense of introspection and self-reflection, with a focus on improving relationships and showing up for others in a more authentic and balanced way. This theme extends to career and work life, with individuals wanting to express their true selves in their jobs.
Brandy and I continue discuss the astrological influences on these themes, including Saturn opposing Venus and Mars transitioning from Libra to Scorpio. They touch on the concept of balance and assertiveness, connecting it to the friction felt in relationships. The conversation also hints at a shift in energy towards the end of October, potentially related to Scorpio season and the thinning of the veil.
Brandy and I continue to share the importance of self-care, understanding one's inner self, and seeking healing modalities like Reiki or energy release sessions for trapped emotions. They emphasize that the body's protective mechanisms often lead to suppressed memories and emotions. Finally, they encourage listeners to appreciate their bodies and the tools available, such as astrology and Tarot, for personal growth and healing.

In this podcast, you will meet my special guest, AJ! We discuss AJ's personal journey, highlighting her ability to follow her heart and intuition, even when it doesn't align with societal expectations. The conversation starts with a recounting of their first meeting at a yoga event where AJ was provided with a meaningful message from her loved ones during a mediumship demonstration Hope was working.
 
AJ shares her experience during the reading, emphasizing the importance of setting intentions for spirit communication. The conversation then shifts to AJ's background in teaching biology and by way of the psychology of learning styles, highlighting her passion for understanding human learning and its connection to psychology and neuroscience.
The discussion takes a turn towards AJ's challenging journey in 2020 when she faced career and personal difficulties. She decided to leave a difficult work environment and focus on self-discovery and healing. The host admires AJ's commitment to personal growth and setting boundaries to protect her energy. AJ discusses how her experiences led her to explore various areas, including mediumship and human design, which she finds empowering.

The speaker discusses their approach to meeting clients, which involves studying mediumship techniques but it’s mainly human design. They highlight that not everyone pursuing these fields aims to do so full-time. They emphasize the importance of tailoring their approach to individual client needs, citing an example of a client who had a breakthrough after plateauing in therapy.
AJ also mentions offering free consultations to assess compatibility with clients and the significance of connecting with one's true self while taking care of mind, body, and soul. She uses her knowledge of biology and psychology to counteract negative self-talk and encourage self-compassion. Meditation and breathing exercises are also valuable tools in her sessions.

Please welcome my guest Christina who bravely shares her spiritual awakening with us! Her spiritual awakening started with the loss of her paternal grandmother and father.
She found herself open to a reading, but unsure what to expect coming to her first group reading in Spring of 2019 and admits she still had a little doubt in her head. She left with her mind blown and was a complete believer in the afterlife and it allowed her to even recall her own experiences as a child after reflection.
It’s been quite a journey to get to today where she gives us a beautiful testimony to how living in a different vibration has simplified her life and allowed her thought patterns and experiences to be a complete 180. She lives in joy and peace. She is also learning to navigate a spirit led life and she aspires to continue the journey to living her best life!
In this episode you will hear:
What it means to be spiritual and what it looks like versus what she thought it meant and looked like.
The complexities of coping with trauma and how it’s affected her adult life and how she’s felt viewed by others in her personal and work life. How important it is to take responsibility for your trauma.
      Following the bread crumb trail with a job she felt stuck in and was laid off twice before getting a new job that she was in love with!
      Her journey to peace while finding herself in a family situation where she felt there was absolutely no way out.
     Starting with boundaries with how she wanted to be treated by her closest family members.
     Slowly over time her Oma passed away. Her mom moved out into her own house. Soon she delivered her second baby and then needed to find a safe way out of her home with her two children as her partner was not responding well to the healthy boundaries she needed.
·     How therapy and treatment helped her move through the motions of finding safety and creating a safe place for herself and children.
·      How when you start to heal and make changes that are best for your mental, emotional, and spiritual health that some relationships and friends will end and that’s okay because it will make room for new people that are in a different place and can meet you where you are at.
·      Christina talks candidly about her dating life and all the ups and downs of 2022 in trying to find herself in her new life as a single mom on a healing quest doing all the self-help things. Her first relationship after her marriage and what she learned from it.
·      How 2023 has been the year of creating more space for herself and setting goals for personal growth, spiritual growth and being more in tune with her physical health. She loved working with tarot cards at first, then angel numbers and then found a love for meditation.
·      Christina talks about the joys of working at a puppy shop and feeling so much different about work and what she wants from work in her life.
·      How finding joy in her life has made it even more clear of what’s not for her!
·      How she’s now receiving downloads from spirit all the time clairaudient and explains how it’s evolving over time into a full-blown reading with a spirit at her mother’s property.
·      How living in a different vibration has simplified her life and allow her thought patterns to be healthier.

This episode takes an in-depth look at how to navigate complex loss and grief. It’s important to recognize that each individual will grieve differently after a loss. A loss could be anything. It’s not necessarily losing a loved one from the physical world to the spiritual world.
With every loss there is a opportunity for personal growth. However, not everybody sees a loss as a positive catalyst in their life and we must honor that if it’s someone else’s story. It’s critical that you remember your experience through your own perception and don’t let anybody else dictate what that experience was for you.
I also want to give a special thank you for all of you returning listeners and all that sent messages and comments. I did save some time at the end to go over those as well!
