    Inner Work 265: Dismantling Harmful Power Dynamics in Akashic Record Readings (and Healing Work Overall)

    Often unknowingly, many Akashic Record readers and practitioners are breaking ethical guidelines and perpetuating harmful power dynamics in the reader-client relationship. This is not only harmful to the people we're here to serve, but also prevents readers and healers from doing the highest-level, transformative, impactful work they're really here to do. Let's change this! I believe strongly in RAISING the standards of ethics and professionalism in our spiritual and healing communities, so we can do better both for ourselves and for our clients.  Join me for this discussion on: dismantling old, harmful power dynamics between reader and client reclaiming your power and inner knowing, even when working with a healer honoring the healers, readers, and lightworkers who ARE putting in the ongoing work to be the best, most effective, most ethical practitioners they can be (and who truly care!) 4 specific ethical guidelines that Akashic Record readers will (often unknowingly) break, and what to do instead how we can do better as practitioners, both for our clients and for ourselves   You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EEKNMdNK0hQ Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

  4. Inner Work 263: 3 Mindset Shifts to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

    Inner Work 263: 3 Mindset Shifts to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

    Do you struggle with imposter syndrome?     This syndrome has been defined as a "persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately earned as a result of one's own efforts, talents, skills, or gifts." I would also describe imposter syndrome as an ongoing feeling or belief that you're inadequate, not worthy, not good enough, and/or a "fraud" who's about to be find out.     Living with this kind of belief or negative undercurrent in your life can be painful. It can be paralyzing. It can keep you hidden away and playing small to avoid potential rejection, criticism, or judgment.     It also keeps you on edge, hypervigilant, anxious about how others are evaluating your performance or presence in the world... or evaluating your very worth and value as a person.     I can relate, because I struggled with imposter syndrome most of my adult life. It first reared its ugly head during my academic career many years ago, and stayed with me as I transitioned out of academia to do full-time spiritual work.      (Building a business from scratch - with NO business training or skills whatsoever! - and stepping out of the "spiritual closet" to do this work were not easy... I made many mistakes... which only fueled the already-existing imposter syndrome.)     Through a lot of inner work, especially in the Akashic Records, I've been able to shift my relationship to imposter syndrome to a degree where it no longer holds me back. It doesn't derail or prevent me from doing my work in the world, or showing up online, or teaching, or being vulnerable with others.      And, just as important, it no longer keeps me from ENJOYING my work fully!     Based on my own struggles and what I've found helps, I want to offer you 3 powerful mindset reframes in this episode of INNER WORK that will hopefully support you in moving beyond imposter syndrome as well.     Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

  8. Inner Work 260: Are you operating from ego or from your Higher Self?

    JAN 17

    Inner Work 260: Are you operating from ego or from your Higher Self?

    Understanding how our ego selves operate (as opposed to what it feels like when we're aligned with our Higher Selves) is ESSENTIAL on the path of spiritual growth and evolution. This episode of INNER WORK breaks down 4 key differences between your ego self and Higher Self so you can learn how to tell them apart and shift from an egoic perspective or state of being to a much higher, clearer, wiser vibration whenever you need to. Key takeaways & topics covered: Ego is the MASK you wear to survive: concerned with survival, status, appearance, how others perceive you, maintaining SAFE social standing, avoiding rejection, and staying safe in your community through conforming and not rocking the boat. Your Higher Self guides you toward highest expansion, becoming your most authentic, self-realized, joyful, peaceful, purposeful Self: focused on evolution, purpose, alignment, Soul calling, personal & collective growth, and abundance. Ego is limited to linear time & space and this ONE lifetime; Higher Self exists beyond linear time & space, holds accumulated wisdom from prior lifetimes, and extends beyond this physical lifetime. Push-and-pull dynamic: Higher Self calls you toward expansion and forward momentum; ego pushes back with fear, self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, lack of trust (especially at breakthrough moments like quitting a career, investing in yourself, or bold steps) equating change with death and familiarity with safety. Ego is self-obsessed and myopic, whereas your Higher Self cares about the greater whole, collective well-being, and guides you with wisdom, clarity, respect of Self & others (even when in conflict) without harm, revenge, or violating boundaries. Watch to recognize common ego tactics, see beyond them, and follow your Higher Self toward your greatest evolution and alignment.
