#20 - The Female Archangels with Calista

In this episode, Calista from Calista Ascension joins me to talk about Archangels. Calista is a Scottish-born author, speaker, and pioneer of spiritual ascension. She has dedicated her life to helping others get to know the beauty and gifts of their Divinity. As a former scientist and holistic healer, Calista has a remarkable understanding of what it takes to live a Divine life while honoring our humanity in the process. Through creating the therapy modalities: Angel Healing® and Unicorn Healing® she has attuned thousands of people worldwide to the angelic and unicorn kingdoms and believes by healing and empowering our lives we help all of Creation to thrive.

I'm so grateful that Calista has agreed to do this interview with me. I have never, ever, ever felt so connected as I did when reading Calista’s books and while I was listening to her meditations, her achievements, and they also are in the book and I have downloaded the audiobook as well. And I really advise everybody to do that because the energy just carries them through the words.

 Calista’s got a perfect voice as you're going to see when you listen to the show. She’s got this beautiful Scottish accent and is just very calming. 

In this episode, we discuss the female archangels, who are they?

Calista says to me that these angels have always been here. When somebody, for example, invites an Archangel, Michael, into their life. Michael's other half, Faith, is always there. It's just we haven't had the awareness of that, because we are growing, we're evolving our consciousness, our art we're remembering more and more. It's almost like heaven.

An angel really doesn't have a gender, but it has these emanations that can be masculine, feminine, or a blended unified blend of consciousness that we can connect with to best relate to humanity.

This was a really deep dive into the world of Archaea and Archangels, so please listen and enjoy and I know you’ll find something powerful in Calista’s words.

#19 - Spiritual awakening symptoms with Angie De Canales

In this episode, I’m joined by Angie De Canales, an extremely talented psychic and channeler. We talk about the connection of soul and body, spiritual awakening. We talk about the symptoms, light language and so much more.

I start by asking Angie what she’s grateful for, as I do with every one of my wonderful guests. Angie’s response was simple but beautiful – ‘I'm grateful overall for this amazing life here and this possibility to experience and learn, I would say grow and also learn about love. Because this is the most amazing feeling. I think so anyway.’ I agree! When we are younger, we appreciate life. As we grow older we lose track of that, and it was great to get somebody on the podcast who was talking about that they do appreciate being alive. 

We talk about spiritual awakening, and it’s very common at the moment. 

We were all were born awakened, as Angie explains to me. We have fallen asleep, later in life. The reason is because of the domestication, and then we are reawakened when we find that connection to our souls.

This was one of the more powerful things Angie said to me but throughout the show, she told so many powerful stories from childhood and beyond, from channeling souls to journeying through the universe. 

I hope you enjoy this episode and please as always jump on Apple Podcasts and leave a review.

#18 - Baby Loss with Samantha Messias

This episode moved me so much. I was joined by Samantha Messias, an artist who has endured a traumatic childhood, who turned to art as a healing mechanism. After graduating from university in 2012, she discovered Hyperrealism and began teaching herself the skills and disciplines needed to produce remarkable art, and has since rendered the world around her in piercing detail.

On the show, Samantha shared her incredibly powerful and heartbreaking story of her journey to birth her baby Owen. Baby loss is a devastating thing and one in four women will experience it. By sharing our stories here we raise awareness, and I want you all to know that if this is something that has touched you, you are not alone. If you went through this situation or know somebody who went through this, you are not alone.

It was so brave of Samantha to share her story because it’s such an intimate and personal thing. I myself suffered multiple miscarriages, and I didn’t want to share with the world, I didn’t want sympathy. But it’s so important to share when you feel ready, because of the power we can give to each other in our unity among pain and in our shared experiences that reinforce this message that you are not alone.

Samantha’s story is told in great detail and I thank her for her patience, bravery, and skill in recollecting such a painful memory and sharing it with me and you on the show. 

Losing a baby I sometimes look at it from a nature point of view. Nature has decided differently. It’s sometimes as simple as that and if you look at it through that lens it can often help to lessen the blow.

#16 - New Moon Rituals with Tamara Budrow

 

In this episode, I am so happy to welcome back Tamara Budrow. Tamara joined me for episode 6 (if you haven’t listened yet do check it out), and we discussed how to live a life that is fun, joyful, and thrilling.

Surprise surprise, we still are talking about that but for this episode, we also examined new moon rituals. I’m sure you’ve wondered often what new moon rituals are – and on the podcast, all will be revealed! 

If you are interested in getting started with the full moon then do download an app called the full moon calendar app - it's super easy to use. www.fullmooncalendarapp.com or check out https://www.instagram.com/everythingmooncycle/. So if you are starting to work with the moon and you would like to understand more about how the moon is affecting your moods, please make sure you download this app. It is so helpful.

The main thing that stayed with me from my talk with Tamara was that astrology is becoming super popular again. I’m so happy that this is the case as it has a special place in my heart, it’s so exciting. Tamara said to me that ‘guess what - it's not even coming back, it's always been here,’ but she thinks that when times get really tough and our world becomes chaotic, we need to find something to make us feel grounded, and find some kind of understanding as to what's going on. Astrology is a great tool for that.

This episode, as always, is full of new takes on spirituality and viewing the world in a different way. I always want to get you thinking and making big steps to improve your health and strengthen your connection with wellness.

#15 - Initiation with Vital Mystic - Camille Craft

 

This episode uncovers the topic I am so passionate about! We will dive into Rituals and spells! Initiation and the Aires new moon – in the northern hemisphere we’re stepping into Spring and the beginning of the equinox. In this episode, Vital Mystic - Camille Craft, a dedicated student, and keeper of the esoteric arts join me and explains how she expertly weaves ancient and timeless wisdom to invoke the power within.

Aires is all about initiation, it’s about having that grand vision, it's using that fire element, that Mars-ruled energy of this sacred rebel of blazing our own trail. Around this time we have the opportunity to really step into awareness around what we want from the rest of the year.

In this talk, Camille and I asked: how am I going to culminate or choose something different? How am I going to blaze my own trail? How am I going to follow my passions and my desires, my inspiration this year – it’s an exciting time and Camille had such powerful ways of drawing energy into quick manifestation. 

Camille shared her experiences on a course called Chrysalis – teaching how to match astrology with certain herbs and gemstones, and creating your own rituals. 

She shared her learnings with me, and I’m so excited to share them with you too.

#14 - Raise your Vibration with Joanna Mcewen

Joanna Mcewen joined me on the show for this episode, and it was incredible to hear her work on sound practice and the power of sound in our physical and emotional lives. Joanna is an experienced and qualified Sound Practitioner and holds an MA in Applied Anthropology, Youth and Community where her thesis was on the power of food and ritual in communities.  

She is an Empowered Learning Practitioner for those with SEN and has worked with special educational needs, young people, and families for over 20 years. Her TED talk (which I definitely recommend everyone watch) on the link between vibrations, harmonious sound, and serendipitous moments currently has over 1.3 million views.

It's not just the power of sound, but also the power of silence that can have huge impacts on our lives. It’s the stillness, those moments, as Joanna said, where we come into that sigh, and we just relax. Whether you’re doing yoga or doing sound practice, you need to have that pause to allow whatever work you have done and changes you’re going through to settle into your body. Personally, I need music with everything I do. If I want to be creative, buy something, respond to emails, I need music on because it inspires me. Joanna explained in this episode the raw power of music and why we have that connection to it, why we have a connection to vibration. This episode is essential listening for anyone who is curious about the power of therapeutic sound, spiritual expansion, and how serendipity can be manifested through our relationship with sound.

#13 - The Rise Of Very Well-Marketed Fraud with Emily Schumann

In this episode, I am joined by Emily Schuman – a former university professor who balances art and teaching and creates courses on past lives, love, and life experiences. 

In the show we discuss a few things, closest to my heart is the issue of fraud amongst spiritual leaders. Well-marketed fraud; practitioners who use their profile to sell a course or a lesson for large amounts of money but don’t deliver anything. To Emily and I this is a major problem and a disgusting thing – it’s stealing and it’s ugly. We talk about how you can avoid getting scammed and find teachers who are genuine. Emily is one of the most genuine teachers I know and it was great to hear how she taught her courses.

She’s an artist too, and we talked about the difference between a soul portrait and an aura portrait. 

As Emily told me, spirit art is done in a couple of different ways. As Emily says: 

‘people will take acrylic paint and they'll put it in a cup and then they'll dump it out. And then they'll squish it. And, and then they open it up. And the painting that is there is what you know, came through. the thing that all of the types have in common is that you take paint and you surrender to the process. So you put it down and you let it process itself and then you interpret it. Um, so other spirit art people will do is they'll take wax, um, in caustics and they'll put them on a heating board and then they'll just like dip the paper into the thing. And then again, interpret the image that comes out of it.’

Emily does hers differently though, and you’ll hear her methods for astral projecting and painting and spirit and aura portraits. 

We touched on the brain as well, and how the left and right hemispheres have control of different things – certain functions occur on one side compared to the other. We have creative sides and analytical sides. And you have to have a balance - everything has to be in harmony in order to work. Otherwise, it's not going to work.

This was a wonderful episode to make so I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
