If you’re someone who gives intuitive or psychic readings or wants to; This episode is essential. I’m sharing what completely changed my confidence, accuracy, and connection when I started reading for clients… and it wasn’t another training or tool.

It was my inner child.

I used to spiral before every session. What if I get it wrong? What if I don’t get anything? What if they don’t understand me? I thought I just needed to get better at reading… but what I really needed was to meet the part of me that was scared to be seen, scared to be wrong, and scared to be magical.

In this episode, we dive deep into:
– How your inner child affects your clarity as a reader
– What to do before every session to feel grounded and expansive
– Why your nervous system is the missing key to connection
– How I accidentally blocked clients from booking because of self-doubt
– Symbolic inner child work to build confidence and trust
– What I did every day to go from self-doubt to soul-trust

If you’re ready to feel clear, grounded, and powerful in your readings, this episode will show you how to reconnect with the part of you that always knew.

How do you know if it’s really your intuition speaking or just your thoughts, your fears, your stories?

In this episode of Stop Trying to Be Spiritual, I’m answering the real questions that came straight from my newsletter community the ones we all ask on the spiritual path.

You’ll hear me share:
• How to tell the difference between intuition and your mental chatter (with real-life examples that will click immediately)
• The signs of a spiritual awakening and how it might be unfolding in your own life right now
• What to do when it feels like you know you’re guided… but still feel disconnected from your spirit team
• Ways to strengthen your psychic gifts even if you’re not sure what they are yet
• How to create a “calling card” with your guides so you can recognize their energy and actually trust it
• Why your intuitive gifts may not show up the way you expect and how to work with what’s already there
• A real conversation about the discouragement that can happen on this path, and how to move through it with self-trust

This episode is full of practical tools, gentle guidance, and the kind of truth-telling that helps you remember what you already know.

In this episode, I’m sharing why inner child and shadow work are the missing keys to unlocking your clearest, most trustworthy psychic abilities. These gifts do not turn off; they just get flipped on their heads. Your clairvoyance becomes fear. Your clairsentience becomes overwhelm. Your clairaudience turns into mental noise.

We talk about:

• Why your psychic abilities must be grounded in nervous system safety

• The connection between fear, trauma, and your energetic filter

• How shadow work reveals where your light has been misdirected

• The daily energetic check-in I do to tune my “channel”

• A story about my clairvoyant husband and what happened when he hit a spiritual wall

• The dangerous side of spiritual gifts without deep self-connection

This is a transmission straight from my guides to your spirit. If you’re ready to move from chaos and fear into clarity and confidence in your gifts: this episode is your sign.

Listen now and reclaim the parts of you holding the power you’ve been seeking.

Leave a comment below let me know how this episode hit you <3

If you've ever felt like you're not receiving anything from your intuition; like you're trying to hear your spirit guides, channel the Akashic Records, or connect psychically and it’s just… crickets. This episode is for you.

This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today. But after a mentorship session, I had to hit record and speak straight to you all. Because the truth is: the reason you think you're blocked isn't because you're not intuitive it's because you're being way too serious about it.

In this raw and real conversation, I walk you through:

• Why being “stuffy” is actually choking your intuitive voice

• How childhood patterns, trauma, and religious conditioning block your spiritual gifts

• The underestimated magic of play, imagination, and “BS-ing” in your spiritual practice

• Why your fear of being wrong is holding you back more than any actual lack of ability

• How ritual and subconscious reprogramming actually unlock intuitive clarity

I’ll also share some reflections from my own journey and the practices that changed everything. Whether you're an intuitive beginner or a seasoned channeler, this episode will help you soften, reconnect, and flow with your gifts in a whole new way.

Reminder: You don’t need to prove your worth to receive spiritual connection. It’s already yours. You just need to stop judging what’s coming through.

Let’s have more fun with it.

What do you do when life hits you with the kind of grief, betrayal, and shock that makes you question everything you thought you knew?

In this personal episode, I share what’s been coming up for me during this current eclipse season especially around unexpected endings, betrayal, and the unraveling of relationships I thought were solid. This isn’t just about astrology (though yes, Virgo/Pisces eclipse energy is loud); it’s about the universal moments when life cracks open and forces us to decide who we’re going to be in the middle of it.

I talk about:
-The patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism that keep us silencing ourselves
-What it means to actually move emotions through the body without intellectualizing them
-How I’ve been learning to use my voice in a way that’s messy, heart-led, and true
-Why boundaries are holy, and why forgiveness starts with yourself
- And the power of staying steady even when everything feels unstable

If you're in the middle of something right now if your world feels a little upside down this ones for you. Come float in the storm with me. You’re not alone. And even in the confusion, all is well.

Let this episode be your permission to grieve, to reset, and to come back to your truth.

What happens when science meets spirit? In this conversation, I sit down with former mentorship student and nurse practitioner turned medical intuitive, Kiara Martinez Guerrero, to explore how a traumatic car accident awakened her psychic abilities and reshaped the way she approaches healing.

We dive into the intersection of medical intuition, holistic health, and energy healing and how Kiara blends her medical background with her spiritual gifts to help others heal from the inside out. From autoimmune challenges to chakra balancing, she shares how trauma and emotional dysregulation can manifest in the body, and why authenticity and self-trust are the true medicine for transformation.

Whether you’re navigating your own health journey, learning to trust your intuition, or curious about how spirituality integrates with healthcare, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible when you soften into your gifts and show up fully for yourself.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Kiara’s awakening began after her 2020 accident

• The link between trauma, autoimmunity, and energy imbalances

• Why empaths in healthcare need energy clearing & protection

• Practical self-care rituals for spiritual and emotional well-being

• The role of authenticity in deep healing and personal growth

This is a powerful reminder that your body, mind, and soul are connected and when you trust yourself, healing unfolds in ways you never imagined.

This episode isn’t planned or scripted; It’s a channeled message straight from my guides for you.

The message that came through?
You’ve already accomplished more than you realize… but instead of celebrating, you keep rushing into the next race. That constant striving is leaving you disconnected from your joy, your body, and your intuition.

My guides spoke on:

• Why it’s time to pause and honor how far you’ve come

• Rediscovering what you actually like (beyond what you were told to want)

• How creativity opens the doorway to intuition and spiritual connection

• Healing grief, shame, and self-judgment stored in the body

• Why your truth needs to be spoken even if it’s messy at first

This is a transmission for the women who feel like they’ve “graduated” in their growth but don’t know what’s next. A reminder that the next level isn’t about perfection or control… it’s about rediscovering yourself and letting your soul lead.

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t.
If you’re listening, it’s for a reason.
