Out of the Fog with Karen Hager Karen Hager

What brings you joy? My guest today is Lisa McCourt, and she says joy is nothing more than living in full accordance with your truest inner being! You are joy at your core; you came here as joy. The only reason you're not experiencing a deep sense of inner bliss and wellness in every moment, she believes, is that you've accumulated some obstructions between your day-to-day you and your true inner self--your inner being that is joy.

Lisa McCourt has taught spiritual and metaphysical tools for elevating personal vibration for more than two decades. She is the author of many books about joy and love that have sold more than 9 million copies. Lisa is host of the Do Joy! podcast and founder of Joy School at lisamccourt.com.

 

 

 

How much breathing room do you give your creativity? Do you allow experimentation, time to play with colors, to sing a song you just made up right now … on the spot? Spirit speaks to us … and through us … in the most unexpected ways. By honoring our curiosity and sense of play, we are also honoring the Divine in us.

Karen Kinney says that at its core, creativity is a spiritual practice that fosters our own transformation and leads to our own liberation. It challenges us to find our voice, befriend our doubts, and dwell fully in the present moment. As we learn to grow still and embrace what is in front of us, we reclaim our power and begin to live life from a place of fullness.

How much of our lives is fated? If everything’s pre-planned before we drop into our bodies … then that might take all the fun out of this Earth School thing. But if it’s all free will … how can I take responsibility for my path and still feel a bit held or guided along the way?

Do you believe in fate or free will? Or do you fall somewhere in the middle? In this episode, we’ll talk with Theresa Reed about how to use astrology and tarot to “twist your fate.”

Once available only to shamans and consciousness teachers, plant medicines … including cacao, which is our topic today … are now available to the rest of us. My guest, Judy Machado, says cacao is a heart-opening medicine that can take us deeper into our heart and help us live more authentically and explore our consciousness.

Judy Machado is a lifelong entrepreneur who became infatuated with the spiritual story and significance of Ceremonial Cacao. She worked with a shaman to deepen her connection with the plant medicine and began to experience a profoundly deep relationship to this beautiful consciousness, receiving messages to share with the world. Cacao has exponentially accelerated her spiritual journey and she now shares how others can also connect to this Cacao Spirit for guidance through a daily Cacao Ritual, Cacao Ceremonies, Awakening to 5D Ceremonial Coaching, and Wellness Retreats in Peru and the Azores.

Judy includes Ceremonial Cacao rituals in all her initiatives with her line of Ceremonial Cacao called Goddess Temple Cacao. She is the author of Life Purpose Playbook, creator of Goddess Temple Cacao, and a Consciousness Coach & Mentor.

Women are the keepers of deep wells of wisdom. But the linear, logical, more masculine aligned ways of “proving” what we know often deny the validity of our wisdom. Laurin Wittig says that by re-discovering our unique wisdom, owning it with confidence, and unleashing it into the wild, women can bring greatly needed balance back into the world. So how do we do that?

Laurin Wittig’s passion is to help women recognize and unleash their innate and experiential wisdom -- emotional, physical, and spiritual -- so they can bring that wisdom consciously into their lives with confidence and joy. She accomplishes this through her HeartLight Wellness practice, where she provides intuitive energy healing & transformation mentoring; Wise Women Circles; and the Curiously Wise podcast. Laurin’s novels are award-winning stories of women finding their wisdom and owning it, too! Find out more about Laurin and her work at https://heartlightjoy.com.
