#013 - Enjoy this conversation with intuitive empath, story teller, shamanic healer, comedian, teacher, writer, and speaker as she shares her spiritual journey towards healing herself and others through inner work and spiritual modalities including the Akashic Records. 

In this episode we discuss:

• How life's challenges often facilitate inner spiritual work and growth.
• Her experience with Shamanic Craniosacral Therapy and how she came to transitioning to working as a healer.
• The challenges and gifts that come with being an empath.
• The process of healing trauma and how it requires healing of mind, body and spirit.
• How resistance to feeling our authentic emotions can keep us stuck in the same emotional patterns.
• What the Akashic Records are and how they help us look deeper into the soul.
• The four clairs of intuition and what they mean: clairvoyance, clairaudient, clairsentient, claircognizant. 
• Our apprehensions about sharing this type of work and how some scientists are starting to bridge the gap to bring spiritual practices into the mainstream medical model.

#012 - Enjoy this conversation with the all-in-one business and career coach, mindset expert and spiritual advisor. Courtney Parks teaches us the real meaning of Success Without Exhaustion and how to recognize and break through internal barriers that may be holding us back from truly living into our highest potential. We openly share examples of moving through our own glass ceilings and Courtney shares a mini coaching process with me at the end of the episode to help me level up in my career.

In this episode we discuss:

• Courtney shares her story of how she transitioned from traditional psychotherapy to creating her own positively-focused coaching program to help women love what they do without burning out in the process.
• How aligning your head with your heart is where the magic happens to allow us to move through limits and challenges with more ease.
• How work and career can actually compliment your life instead of getting in the way of living it.
• Recognizing and moving on from the "no pain, no gain" mentality and other hidden money beliefs that might be holding us back.
• How to tell if you're being redirected by the Universe vs having a limiting belief.
• Understanding our internal protective mechanism and how to work with it and manage it at a healthy level as we level up in an area of our lives.
• Embracing who you are and how you are because this is exactly how you're designed to have success.
• How a desire is actually a symptom of your ability to have it.

#011 - In this episode I talk with author, researcher, and educator Dr. Tracy Cooper who helps us understand what it means to have the personality trait of being a highly sensitive person. 

In this episode we discuss:

• How he stumbled upon the work of Dr. Elaine Aron in attempts to find a topic for his dissertation when introversion seemed to have been well studied already.
• What it means to be a highly sensitive person, or HSP, and how that differs from a sensory processing disorder.
• Some of the research and science behind HSPs and how they differ in behavior, depth of processing, empathy, emotional responsiveness, overstimulation, and brain function. 
• The importance for HSPs to adapt their lives when needed and not to adapt themselves to life which includes choosing experiences, having a self-care practice and developing boundaries.
• The benefits and challenges of living as an HSP including advantages for the species. 
• How creating "Flow" experiences is a key aspect for restoration.
• Considerations for choosing and thriving in work and careers for HSPs.
