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 podcast also touches on AJ's website,  “Align with AJ," which offers guidance and support through various modalities. AJ's mission is to help others through her unique experiences and expertise, combining biology, psychology, mediumship, and human design.

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.

The podcast delves into personal growth, overcoming childhood trauma, and the importance of self-love. AJ shares her journey from a corporate job to pursuing her passion and helping clients find their authentic selves. The conversation concludes with a discussion of AJ's services and potential future offerings, such as Human Design readings and personalized booklets. She expresses her gratitude for the podcast host's support and encouragement.

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!

In this episode, you will hear:

• How we honor our loved ones when they pass. 0:08

• Why it’s so important to continue to work on your own healing and growth so that you can experience the depths of relationship. 2:57

  • The importance of healing and growth in relationships.

  • The trauma people have gone through.

  • The importance of relying on one's own emotions and memories.

  • The hurtful bullying of others.

• What is the point of a reading? 7:31

• You can honor your loved ones however you feel necessary. 9:43

• Keep things out because I want to see them. 14:10

  • Keeping her uncle's memory alive for eight years.

  • Her relationship with her parents.

• Don’t let anybody take away your special relationship. 16:39

• My uncle’s heart was so big and he always had my back. 21:18

• Don’t let anybody change your mind about the experience. 24:23

• Thank you for returning and new listeners. 29:54

• What type of content is helpful and impactful in your life? 32:12

Today on Finding Hope, I reflect on the importance of self-discovery, healing, and the impact of parental decisions/involvement in our children’s lives.    Over the last year I’ve have experienced such a deep gratitude for making the leap to self-employment when I did in March 2019!    I’ve experienced personal healing on such a profound level through this mediumship journey with you all and through the opportunities in which I’ve been able to show up for my daughter and extended family.    In this episode, you will hear:

• All the fun family trips I was able to do. We even brought Charlee to Boston on her first direct flight!
• How I found myself in a position to make big decisions amid chaos and grateful for the guidance of my Uncle Charlie to help my 16-year-old daughter!
• More physical healing opportunities and how they showed up for me in a BIG WAY.
• A College tour synchronicity with an angel encounter sent by my Uncle Charlie.
• The time I took to take the live Contemporary Mediumship Mentorship course and put it into an on-demand course available at any time to anyone with all of my meditations and over 100 pages of helpful PDF guidance.
• Gratitude for the challenges faced in the last year that lent a hand in huge strides of personal growth and how I’m able to show up for my clients who are experiencing similar challenges.
• Creating a nonprofit called Finding Hope for Children Inc aimed at empowering and helping children who are survivors of neglect and abuse.

Creating more harmony in your life and strengthening your intuition go hand-in-hand. When you're working on strengthening your intuition, you have to clear up your energetic space. Whether at your home or in a work environment, it’s very important to be able to maintain that quiet space and do things that make you feel better to keep you in that high vibe space as much as you possibly can.

You know how things could ebb and flow. Everybody's work situation is obviously different, as much as their home situation is as well. But you have to do what you can to make sure every moment feels good to you because this will help you along your journey.

Whichever way you’re able to get that done, know that you’re the only person who’s going to look out for your own best interest when it comes to maintaining your space – a space that is safe, supportive, and uplifting.

That being said, I want to remind you that you are not alone. We are all fully supported by Spirit and our guides. And so, it’s just a matter of tapping into that connection.

Today, I’m going to share with you 9 ways to create more harmony and strengthen your intuition. Hopefully, these will help strengthen your connection with your highest self so you can work on these different healing modalities as well as clear the lens for you to achieve more clarity. Look at your life right now and look at those opportunities.

Obviously, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. But there are always a number of ways to slice and dice our lives to keep us in harmony – and the best harmony at that – so you can have a beautiful life. In this episode, you will hear: • Maintaining a supportive, safe, and uplifting home and work environment • Letting go of anything or anyone that does not support you on your healing journey • Working on positive self-talk and more gratitude • Eating a healthy, balanced diet and knowing what works best for you • Moving your body regularly to uplift your mood • Having a supporting morning and evening routine you can stick to • Getting enough sleep • Carving time out for yourself that brings you joy • Seeking a mentor for growth and direction

Today, I wanted to talk to you about what it means to be a contemporary medium, and I will also share the answers to the questions that you all submitted on social media and through email.

After a very wild 2020 and 2021 with mentorship growth, it has become such a critical piece of what my work is. And so, I always like to reflect on what I'm learning as I'm teaching, and what's the next best step with my offerings.

What I truly wanted to do this year is to just take this to a completely deeper level with a contemporary mediumship course, where we will incorporate more soulful mediumship practices and more soul readings for this massive shift going on in our world today.

When you're showing up for mediumship, the personal growth is just phenomenal. It is sometimes messy, sometimes hard, but it's also magical. The mediumship journey goes hand in hand with your own personal healing journey. And together, they are profound. You will become more aligned with your highest self and your highest purpose through this practice. You will become aware of areas in your life that need healing and you will be called to heal these areas.

I'm going in the direction of being here with the understanding that we're all here to grow. At times, that includes the mediumship as well as other things that your soul needs to know from your loved ones in Spirit, in order for you to integrate the healing and move forward. Sometimes, you may also need to recognize certain things that you have held onto such as misaligned beliefs or traumas in your body that you would benefit from releasing

There are things that need to fall away in your life so that other things can fall perfectly together. And this process can be messy. But once you make the shift to truly put yourself and your healing first in your life, everything changes.

If you are the type of person that has already worked on your personal development and has curiosity in the metaphysical world, and if you're feeling the gentle tug at your heart for something more, then come join us. If you're seeking to find purpose and passion in your life by developing a closer connection to your loved ones, spirit guides, and angels, this is the course for you.

Also, if you've been giving readings or messages to close friends and family but are now ready to take your connection to the next level with the loving, supportive guidance of a mentor, I'd love to work with you as well.

In this episode, you will hear: • Who will benefit from the mentorship and things you will be learning and working on • How soon we can get someone to come through • How often to practice mediumship depending on your energy levels • Starting your practice with meditation • Working on being more present every day so it’s easier for you to receive • Developing the ability to connect with Spirit through practice • Learning how to practice clairvoyance • Understanding how you receive messages and practicing different ways of receiving • Tips for overcoming readings for people you know • Knowing your boundaries and what you’re okay with Supporting Resources:

As a medium, fear and doubt are two crucial things that you must learn to face and work with to prosper. But we all know these limitations affect all of us in everyday life as well. Fear and doubt never fully go away but there are ways to learn to push through them. We all handle certain situations differently, but by just showing up, pushing through, and doing your best, fear becomes not so powerful.

You are going to have challenges, but those challenges don’t define your abilities or your self worth. Doubt and fear present themselves with family, relationships and in work life. Remember why you want to do the thing you are fearful of, connect to that intention and let it guide you. Step out on that stage and do what you came to do, regardless of the judgement from others. When you are truly connected to yourself and your Spirit team, guidance seems to come more effortlessly.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Facing fear and doubt and working through it • Minimizing fear and doubt the best you can • Working on your own personal healing • Identifying your triggers and what you’re afraid of • Meditation and getting connected with yourself • Sitting in the power • Giving Spirit your time and attention

During a time of intense soul searching, learning to make the most of the present moment and doing the work for yourself is of the essence. Fundamentally, a spiritual awakening is choosing to live a more awakened and aware life to allow you to be closer to yourself and others through love and higher consciousness. Making new choices that are higher vibrational and that resonate with your soul is one step to this process. If you pay attention to your body and make decisions from within and what feels right to you, then you have to stop worrying about controlling the outcomes.

When you are able to navigate life from a place of alignment within your soul, you permit yourself to remain in your power regardless of any situation or outcome that you face. This is not about anybody but YOU and your relationship with yourself.  After you follow this way of living for a period of time you will notice all the beautiful blessings that show up for you.

In this episode, you will hear:

·       Becoming aware through this process
