There are days when grief rises like a tide—gentle at first, then crashing through everything, wave after wave. I had one of those days recently. The kind where you cry all day, and it’s not just about one thing… it’s about everything.

Grief, old emotions, ancestral ache, the deep soul-exhaustion of being human.

And somewhere in the middle of all that—I found myself in conversation with Spirit.

It went like this:

My Conversation with Spirit About Crying

Spirit: “I’m sorry, but sometimes you have to.”

Me, feeling a little sassy: “Why do we have to? Why don’t you?”  (I already knew the answer to this before the question even left my mouth.) 

Spirit: “We don’t carry the emotions that you do. But we see what they do to the human body. And we have tools to help move them out.”

Me: (Frustrated) “How do you have the tools and we don’t, if you don’t even have the emotions we do?”

Spirit:
“Because we’ve gathered them across all our lifetimes.
We work as a One. We pool the wisdo...

How many times do we actually stop mid-breakdown and ask ourselves:
"Wait… is this a manifestation in progress… or am I just an emotional roller coaster and spiritually confused right now?"

Let’s be real.

Most of the time, we don’t pause.

We don’t intuitively check the energy of the chaos.
We don’t ask:

🌪 "Is this falling apart so my manifestation can fall together?"
🔮 "Is this happening for me, not to me?"
🧹 "What sacred mess is being cleared out so something better can land?"
👁️‍🗨️ "What the hell am I not seeing yet?"

Nope.
We get swept right up in the current of the currant (yes, I did see what I did there—thank you for noticing).

We let the emotions of the “I-hate-this-and-I-want-to-panic” moment drive the damn car.

We let the version of ourselves that’s addicted to comfort, allergic to uncertainty, and totally unqualified to lead take the wheel.

And the part of us that actually knows how to manifes...

You cannot create lasting transformation or abundance without mastering your emotional landscape.

Your emotions shape your energy, and your energy shapes your reality.

Without taking charge of your feelings, they will dictate your experience, limiting your ability to align with what you truly desire.

Emotional mastery is not about suppression—it’s about recognizing, honoring, and channeling your emotions to work with you, not against you.

Only through this intentional harmony can you build a foundation for enduring manifestation and profound change.

Emotions are powerful forces—energetic, physical, and spiritual. Yet, many of us avoid them, suppress them, or worse, shame ourselves for feeling them.

What happens when we do this?

Those emotions don’t vanish.

They grow, fester, and eventually hijack our energy, affecting everything from our relationships to our finances and ability to manifest.

When you avoid emotions, you create resistance in your energy field.

When Manifestation Appears to Go Wrong: How to Keep Going and Stand in Faith

Manifestation can feel magical when things line up perfectly, but what about when it goes seemingly wrong?

As someone who practices manifestation and follows spirit-led guidance, I recently experienced a crushing setback that made me question everything.

My husband and I were in the process of buying a dreamy new home.

The signs were all there: the synchronicities, the numbers that follow us, even the model home's name felt aligned.

Everything seemed divinely orchestrated.

As someone deeply connected to spirit, I asked for clarity. I prayed not to be led down a path that wasn’t meant for us—and yet, we were led down the path anyway.

Right up until closing day, it seemed the house was ours. Then, we received the devastating news that due to a technicality with two of our other rental properties, the deal couldn't be finalized.

On the day we were supposed to get the keys, we were sent back to square one.

Are You Truly Ready to Receive Your Manifestation?

Manifestation is a buzzword that’s gained immense popularity, yet one crucial aspect is often overlooked: the readiness to receive your manifestation.

Imagine you've done the work, set your intentions, and even managed to bring your desires into your reality.

This question delves deeper than typical discussions about manifesting and requires an exploration of mindset, worthiness, and personal growth.

 This is a lesson I am currently learning as we uproot our lives, leave all of our comforts and stability, and walk into the unknown.

I am very clearly seeing where I still hold shadow. Where old patterns still fight their way to come out. 

And if I don't do something about that ASAP- I could very easily kill the manifestation.

This is especially important for those that are not aware of when their shadows and limiting beliefs start coming out to play as they begin to up level. This means the self-sabotage is running subconsciou...

The notion that we need to heal our past lives to feel whole in this life might seem absurd at first glance. I understand the skepticism; I, too, had my doubts.

However, after witnessing profound shifts in my own life and the lives of many clients and associates, I’ve come to embrace the transformative power of working with the Akashic Records.

This journey into the Akashic Records can sound mystical, even fantastical. At times, I hesitate to speak about it openly, reserving these discussions for private sessions with those who are ready to explore the depths of their soul’s journey.

But as a spirit-led individual, when spirit leads, I listen. 
I've had the nudge to talk more about healing with the Akashic Records, and then came a series of synchronicities that I just couldn't overlook. 

So here we are. 
Let's talk about it! 

One of the most common questions (and fears) I hear when people are learning about the Akashic Records is: what if we’re just making it up?

But here’s...

Do you ever work with plant spirits in your manifestation and healing work?

Patchouli is just calling me home right now!!!
I am obsessed with the celestial oil blend I made for our Planetary Alchemy Series inside the Academy.

If you find  yourself seeking to tap into the potent energies of nature to facilitate manifestation, transformation, and healing in your life, look no further than patchouli, a revered plant spirit known for its profound abilities to catalyze change and growth on spiritual, emotional, and physical levels.

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) has long been revered in various cultures for its rich, earthy aroma and its multifaceted healing properties.

Here's how you can work with patchouli as a plant spirit to manifest your desires, facilitate transformation, and promote healing:

Manifestation:

Patchouli is a powerful ally for manifestation work, helping to bring your intentions into fruition.

Its earthy scent is deeply grounding, anchoring your desires into...

As you begin to learn more about your shadow self,  and you start to release limitations, patterns, fears, and old binds, you become more empowered.
You set more boundaries.
You start to experience more abundance.
You learn about self-mastery.
You start to live intentionally, intuitively, and you begin to consciously create your world, while others around you are sticking to what they’ve always known/done. Whether they are happy doing it or not. 

And if you go on to be a healer, intuitive, or magic maker of any kind, you start to pay more attention to what’s going on in the unseen world. You follow the energy while others follow the news, the collective, or what’s been conditioned in them. 

You become the proverbial black sheep. 

Healers can feel like they suddenly become a mismatch with many of the people and situations around them. 

You shake the foundation of the family/group dynamic.
It triggers things within other people.
We take those reactions that people have...
