Manifestation is one of the most mainstream "woo-woo" topics out there. It's universally appealing and relatively free to attempt. But as with many feel-good spiritually based topics, they're ungrounded. And therefore, their results are spotty at best.

And this can be . . . frustrating.

So what's the truth? Can we actually manifest our wildest wishes if we practice gratitude, think happy thoughts, and act as if we already have what we want? Or does manifestation ask a little more of us?

If you ask Jamie Ong, mindset and manifestation coach, we need to get real about what it takes to manifest. What laws are actually at play? What will we let ourselves receive? Do we actually want what we are asking for?

There are numerous definitions out there on what an extrovert is and what an introvert is. Most place people into these two categories based on behavior. If you're good at public speaking, you must be an extrovert. If you hate talking on the telephone, you must be an introvert.

When you become sensitive to the more subtle realms of existence, you understand that "extroversion" and "introversion" are best understood in terms of energy. Even though the world tends to reward the loudest among us, there is a hidden power in those who thrive in the silence. It's no coincidence that many intuitives, mediums, and psychics tend to be more introverted.

When you are someone who feels more centered in solitude, knowing how to care for your energy can change your life. In this episode, I get to pick the brain of Deborah Chalk, who is a Wayfinder coach and Body Magic coach who helps introverts and sensitive people with their mind-body connection so they can tine into their intuition and enjoy their life more.

You don't need to be into the woo to be top heavy in your energy. Many, many of us spend our lives up in our brains where we try to rationalize and theorize our human experience instead of feeling it. Living life on Earth requires a body, and we'd be foolish to dismiss the inherent spirituality and wisdom within it. But that is exactly what we do.

And it's no coincidence that when you fully drop into your body, you have the ability to feel and know your energetic connection to all of creation. When you see your body as an extension of your divine expression and honor it as such, life starts to get really cool.

Join psychosomatic embodiment coach and emotional release bodyworker, Kelsey De Brusinis and I as we talk about what true non-performative embodiment is, why actual embodiment elevates your consciousness, and the inherent spiritual nature of physicality.

When we look for a leader, how often do we look to ourselves?

Whenever you feel aimless and lost, consider searching for answers and direction by going inward. Because when you are desperate for a silver bullet or a magic key--and you look outside of yourself, you become susceptible to adopting someone else's vision or dream as your own. This is a recipe for frustration and stagnation.

Kirsten Barfoot wants to spare you the drama of not knowing what you want! Dive in to this episode and we'll cover how to follow your own path, step into your internal leadership role, and fulfill your purpose.

In our busy, frenetic worlds it's almost impossible to stay present. And with all the pain and trauma that most of us have, but haven't processed yet, who even wants to be? But all those unexamined emotions and feelings don't go away by ignoring them. We've talked about this before on the podcast, but the body remembers.

What happens when we start practicing mindfulness and become more present? What tools can we use to work with discomfort? We aren't the first people to say it, but focusing on your breath is a free and eternally present method for healing.

Join Sarah Novak, a breathwork coach, and I as we talk about this frequently overlooked resource and how to use it to change your life.

It is really common to think, or be told, that any spiritual work you do should be done for free. And as people who are motivated by the desire to help people, sometimes accepting money for what you do can be hard. Money doesn't grow on trees, right? And besides, you don't love the money, you love the people! And doesn't Christianity tell us that the poor in spirit are blessed and will inherit the kingdom of heaven?

The truth is, our society doesn't take care of their holy people like they used to. You probably don't have a village at your back to care for your physical needs as you care for their spiritual needs. In short, you don't just need to make money, you deserve to make money.

This week we are talking to Monica Shah who is a business coach and energy worker. She helps people clear the beliefs that keep them from living their dreams. And yes, money is a big block for most people.

You've probably heard things like this before. "Don't watch the news, it lowers your vibration!" Or, "anger is a dark force! Advanced spiritual beings only feel love!" Or maybe even, "this space is for love and light only!"

Intuitively, you probably realize these statements are full of dogma and feel . . . empty and judgmental. That's because they are.

Join Loraine Martinez-Bellamy and I as we talk about why this love-and-light-only mentality is spiritual bypassing, and why avoiding your humanity isn't a spiritual practice.

Most of us are afraid of our own bodies. It doesn't always act, feel, or respond the way we hope it would. Sometimes it feels pain. Sometimes it houses sadness or anger. Sometimes it's telling us that the way we are living is hurting us. And oftentimes, it's telling us things we would rather ignore. This is because the body is a divining tool. Our bodies are expressions of energy and interpreters of energy. And if we can cultivate a listening to it, we will find the divine expression within ourselves.

Katie Kennedy is a functional medicine practitioner as well as a certified yoga teacher. She sits right at the crossroads of materialism and spiritualism, and she knows from her own experience that the body can be seen as a healer--even in the face of chronic pain.
