Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

Do you sometimes feel invisible (or like an alien) around other people, maybe even your own family?
Like everyone else is speaking English, or Spanish, or Japanese, or some other "native" language... and you're speaking alien gibberish that no one can understand??
If so, you're not alone!
In this bonus episode of "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis", we'll explore:
why spiritual awakening can create an energetic mismatch between you & your old life (including relationships, places, situations, people you used to be ok with)
what's really happening, beneath the surface, when you feel invisible even in a room of people
why "performing normalcy" or trying to "fit in" can be so exhausting for intuitives, Highly Sensitive People, Starseeds, and Lightworkers
examining honestly which relationships & connections are worth keeping in your life post-awakening (and which need to be released)
learning to use the present moment - including the feeling or belief of being invisible - as a mindfulness practice & way of being with yourself unconditionally
becoming a curious, non-judgmental observer of other people's behaviors
personal story from my own life and family dynamics, and how I've been navigating all of this!
 
In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy". 
Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home.
It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.
Join me for a no-nonsense, grounded, transformative exploration of the spiritual awakening process and an empowering approach to the dark night of the Soul.
Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

In this Akashic Records meditation, we'll carve out sacred time to slow down, retreat from the external world, and return home to your natural inner rhythm.
In our modern, fast-moving, often chaotic world, we've gotten lost in the weeds of external noise & chatter & endless stimuli... which also means we've disconnected from the pace of nature and from our own natural, healthy, aligned, inner rhythms.
In this guided Akashic Records experience, we'll slow everything down so your body, cells, mind, and Spirit can be restored, refreshed, and inevitably find their way back to balance and wholeness.
Join me for this profound journey where you'll receive healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source).
Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation:
make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted
eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible
listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers
set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible)
please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less)
get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open
please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : )
 
Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

What's really happening during a spiritual crisis, and what is "ego death"?
In this second installment of my "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis" series, we'll explore:
what is the spiritual crisis or spiritual awakening?
how the spiritual crisis tends to dissolve or break apart the ego, and how this can feel as you're going through it
the problem of ego identification: when you feel & believe you ARE your ego, and nothing more
why we resist or get stuck in the process of ego death
the psychospiritual practice of dis-identifying from ego as a form of powerful self-liberation
allowing & welcoming ego death to happen, so you can re-align with your most authentic Self (and get out of suffering)
 
In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy". 
Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home.
It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.

Welcome to your Akashic Records Guidance & Forecast for June 2026!
We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month.
The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work.
For our June energy forecast, I did just this: combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities.
Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and randomly pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts:
overview of incoming energy in June
what are we letting go of in June?
what are we stepping into in June?
Akashic Records message to continue expanding this month

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners who completed my Akashic Records Certification Program to explore how working with the Records has transformed their lives.
We discuss topics such as:
what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others
how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker
 
In this episode, I speak with Erin Heisel, PhD, a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner (through my Certification Program), coach, writer, and founder of Aligned Insight Coaching, where she helps thoughtful, growth-minded people reconnect with their inner wisdom and move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.
Before entering the coaching space, Erin was a professional classical singer, performing on 4 continents, a researcher in the fields of play theory, postmodernism, and mindfulness, presenting research in 3 languages at conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and a college professor.
Blending reflective practices, creative frameworks, and intuitive tools, Erin guides clients through meaningful transitions, purpose exploration, and energy-aligned action planning. Additionally certified in life coaching, entrepreneurship, meditation/mindfulness, astrology, tarot, and Reiki (master/teacher), she uses a holistic, heart-centered approach to help clients connect to their own inner wisdom.
