Awakening to Your Soul-Self

Cristina Loureiro: A Clairaudient Angel Messenger, Angel Reiki Healer, Angel Reiki Master Teacher, Energy Healer

Welcome to Awakening to Your Soul-Self! The podcast where the messy, beautiful, fully human experience meets the spiritual. We are all spiritual beings in human bodies, experiencing human life on earth. And with that comes everything: joy and heartbreak, purpose and confusion, connection and loss, transitions and transformations. It also comes with loud thoughts. So many of them. The anxious ones. The sad ones. The angry ones. The ones that keep us stuck, small, and playing it safe. But somewhere beneath all of that, beneath the noise, beneath the human experience, beneath it all lives something quieter. Your intuition. Your soul-self. Your angels. I'm Cristina, a clairaudient Angel Messenger and Angel Reiki Master Teacher — and yes, I actually hear the angels in my own voice. But I'm also just a human, doing the inner work and living the human experience right alongside you. Each episode, we explore the full journey, the human stories that shape us, the loud thoughts that run the show, the patterns that hold us back, and the intuition and angel guidance that's been there all along. I'll share my own real experiences, bring in therapists, counselors, healers, and beautiful souls who have walked through the fire and found their light, and help you develop your own spiritual gifts so you can hear what your angels and Spirit Team are trying to tell you. This is the show for anyone navigating the beautiful mess of being human and ready to do the work, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, to come home to themselves. Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let's cross the bridge together. Please note — I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional. Everything shared on this show comes from personal experience and spiritual guidance. If anything resonates deeply and you feel you need additional support, please reach out to a qualified professional. Your well-being matters.

    Trusting Your Intuition, Divine Timing and Grief Without Fear with Melissa Farley

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we have Melissa Farley, who spent a year as a self-described hermit, and that year led her into Reiki, light language, and sound healing. In this conversation with the host, she explains how she came to share her spiritual path publicly this year, at age 40. She also describes the book she is writing about death, which is meant to take away the stigma and fear around it. If you have been ignoring an inner nudge, her message is that it is never too late to follow it. Key Topics: The year of the hermit: Melissa left USA Today in 2019 with serious psychological and physical burnout. She stepped away from commitments, read, went to therapy, and learned from a Reiki practitioner and mentor in Arizona. She came out of it with a daily non-negotiable block of time on her calendar to sit in spirit. Reiki and clearing work: She holds space for people to be exactly as they are while sending radical love and acceptance. She is especially drawn to clearing stuck or unwanted energy, which she links to clearing her own conservative evangelical background. Light language: Melissa speaks in spirit during energy work. She always asks consent first, and she sees images as she speaks even though she cannot translate the sounds. She thinks the language may differ from session to session. Sound healing: She is drawn to drums and quartz crystal bowls. She is still learning how sound calms or activates the nervous system before she offers public sound healings. Her book on death: Melissa has had a chronic genetic disease since a young age, so she has always been aware of mortality. She has talked with morticians, death doulas, academics, and near-death survivors. The book argues that living a meaningful life makes a good death possible. Facing death and grief: She practices a meditation in which she visualizes her own death and celebration of life. On grief, she offers the image of a broken pot whose cracks become reminders of the life you had. Divine timing and intuition: Melissa asks spirit to lead each morning. At night, she gives thanks for signs, including the ones she missed. Letting fear stop deciding: After a divorce, she spent a year not letting fear make her decisions. She used Mel Robbins' five-second rule, and the year included skydiving.

    You're Never Behind: Take the Next Step Without Having It All Figured Out with Gloria Lorelai Lee

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we have Gloria Lorelai Lee; she talks about how you don't need everything figured out to take the next step. Gloria Lee is a Reiki healer, humanitarian, high-performance coach, and free spirit who has traveled across four continents. Gloria shares how awakening unfolds as a series of moments, not one big breakthrough. You're never behind, and this journey is not about becoming someone new. It's about remembering and becoming more yourself. Key Topics Gloria Lee's awakening: A series of moments, from a childhood dream of humanitarian work in Africa, to a working holiday in Australia, a volunteer job in South Africa, and pandemic years of personal development. She became a certified high-performance coach and was attuned to Reiki. Awakening is peeling away layers and becoming more of your soul self. What she was seeking: Passion, zest for life and clarity, and the realization that it was inside her all along. Places that call to her: Africa, New Zealand and Bali (Ubud) feel like home. She also touches on astrocartography, ley lines, Sedona as a vortex, Egypt and Portugal. Free will and grounding: You can generate how you want to feel anywhere. Try 5-minute practices such as deep breathing, meditation, journaling or mindful walking. Science, spirituality and energy healing: Science explains how, spirituality gives meaning, and energy work brings balance. It is a tune-up, not a fix, because we are already whole. Trusting intuition: Notice what feels expansive versus contractive. The inner voice is calm, steady, and gentle, and it keeps coming back. Clarity comes after action, through tiny experiments and micro-steps, and there is no wrong choice. Ego vs. intuition: Pay attention to first instinct, and make time for stillness and meditation. Reiki: Self-Reiki, distance healing across time zones, time as an illusion, and how balanced chakras bring clarity, intuition, and confidence. Christina also shares her story of working on her dad's back. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (0:27) Gloria Lee's awakening journey and peeling away layers (3:39) What she searched for while traveling, and finding it within (5:25) Places that feel like home: Africa, New Zealand, Bali (6:51) Astrocartography, ley lines, Sedona and Egypt (10:04) Christina's Portuguese roots, masculine and feminine energy, angel numbers (12:51) Free will and 5-minute grounding practices (14:46) Blending science, spirituality and energy healing (17:09) Earth school, ego, and trusting your gut through micro-steps (20:56) Ego vs. intuition and making time for stillness (25:32) Reiki, distance healing, chakras and grounding visualization (31:40) Mixing modalities like Kundalini and pranic healing (33:03) Closing message Connect with Gloria: Website: glorialorelai.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glorialorelailee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glorialorelailee  WANT TO CROSS THE INTUITIVE BRIDGE WITH ME?  🦋 Step 1: Get Your 10% Discount Love the show?

    The Akashic Records: What They Can Reveal with Rebecca Guez

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we speak with Rebecca Guez, an intuitive coach and emotional healer, about discovering purpose, working with the Akashic Records, and releasing emotional patterns. Rebecca shares how conscious parenting, spiritual exploration, and her own healing journey shaped the work she now uses to help others become their own best healers. In this episode: Rebecca’s spiritual journey began in childhood with a strong desire to serve and understand her purpose.Parenting three children under five led Rebecca to study conscious parenting and explore the deeper triggers behind emotional reactions.Her first Akashic Records reading helped her recognize intuitive abilities she had experienced throughout her life but could not yet name.The Akashic Records are described as a soul’s “book of life,” containing the journey of the soul across lifetimes.Rebecca explains that Akashic Records work is not fortune-telling. It offers guidance based on a person’s questions, readiness, and current path.Sessions may include emotional release, inner-child work, past-life exploration, chakra clearing, trapped-emotion work, prayer, or affirmations.Rebecca emphasizes that healers cannot do the work for someone else. Their role is to guide and support people as they become their own healers.Healing is presented as a lifelong process of uncovering layers, reducing emotional reactivity, and creating more space for peace, health, prosperity, and aligned relationships.Rebecca and Cristina compare how spiritual guidance can be received through clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, and other intuitive senses.The conversation closes with a reminder that everyone has a meaningful path, even when free will creates temporary detours.Timestamps 00:00 - Rebecca’s background and lifelong search for purpose  02:53 - How motherhood led Rebecca toward conscious parenting  04:20 - Why emotional triggers matter more than parenting tools  05:18 - Rebecca’s first Akashic Records reading  06:15 - Recognizing intuition as a personal gift  08:54 - How life experiences become stepping stones  10:18 - What the Akashic Records are  11:43 - Why the Records are not meant to overwhelm you  12:42 - Akashic Records versus fortune-telling  14:09 - Asking better questions in a Records session  15:47 - How guidance appears through the mind’s eye  16:59 - Combining Records work with emotional healing  18:58 - Chakras, past lives, and releasing emotional blockages  20:24 - Rebecca’s story about recognizing empathy in her family  22:13 - Why no healer can do another person’s healing  23:38 - Healing as an ongoing journey  25:35 - The different forms an energy-healing session can take  27:04 - Why guidance from the Records can feel especially clear  30:40 - Common reactions to a first Akashic Records session  32:16 - Revisiting lessons and discovering deeper layers  34:35 - Why different people need different healers and modalities  36:03 - Moving beyond spiritual competition  37:25 - Rebecca’s message: your life is in your hands  38:32 - Taking responsibility for your own healing journey  39:31 - Rebecca’s short-form podcast, Living in the Magic 42:03 - Why Akashic Records work has become central to Rebecca’s healing Connect with Rebecca: Website: https://www.rebeccaguez.com Instagram: @rebeccaguez Facebook: @rebeccaguez Her Podcast: Living in the Magic  WANT TO CROSS THE INTUITIVE BRIDGE WITH ME?  🦋 Step 1: Get Your 10% Discount Love the show?

    Why Grief Doesn’t Follow a Timeline and What Healing Really Requires with Jennifer Mullowney

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we speak with Jennifer Maloney, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience and founder of Crossroads Counseling Services. They discuss why grief has no fixed timeline, how unresolved trauma can resurface, and how therapy can help people distinguish anxiety from intuition while rebuilding self-trust.

About

Welcome to Awakening to Your Soul-Self! The podcast where the messy, beautiful, fully human experience meets the spiritual. We are all spiritual beings in human bodies, experiencing human life on earth. And with that comes everything: joy and heartbreak, purpose and confusion, connection and loss, transitions and transformations. It also comes with loud thoughts. So many of them. The anxious ones. The sad ones. The angry ones. The ones that keep us stuck, small, and playing it safe. But somewhere beneath all of that, beneath the noise, beneath the human experience, beneath it all lives something quieter. Your intuition. Your soul-self. Your angels. I'm Cristina, a clairaudient Angel Messenger and Angel Reiki Master Teacher — and yes, I actually hear the angels in my own voice. But I'm also just a human, doing the inner work and living the human experience right alongside you. Each episode, we explore the full journey, the human stories that shape us, the loud thoughts that run the show, the patterns that hold us back, and the intuition and angel guidance that's been there all along. I'll share my own real experiences, bring in therapists, counselors, healers, and beautiful souls who have walked through the fire and found their light, and help you develop your own spiritual gifts so you can hear what your angels and Spirit Team are trying to tell you. This is the show for anyone navigating the beautiful mess of being human and ready to do the work, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, to come home to themselves. Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let's cross the bridge together. Please note — I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional.
