Success in 3 Seconds? Yep, It’s a Thing.

Success in 3 Seconds? Yep, It’s a Thing. Sometimes success isn’t majestic—it’s messy, clumsy, and just brave enough to try again.

Reclaiming Your Path: Shedding the Chains of Expectations

What if the very strategies you once relied on for support are now holding you back? In this insightful article, we explore the tension between past habits and current needs, highlighting how the "chains" of outdated expectations can weigh us down. Using the symbolism of the Devil and Lovers cards from Tarot, we examine how familiar patterns may restrict our growth, urging us to recognize these limitations and embrace the power of choice. By loosening these chains, we create space for authenticity, joy, and self-care. The article encourages readers to question whether their decisions align with their true selves or reflect someone else's dreams. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, it's time to realign our intentions and reclaim our paths. Don't miss the latest episode of my podcast, Reclaiming Our Spirit, where we dive deeper into living authentically and shedding the invisible chains that bind us.

Things They Don’t Tell you About Spiritual Awakening: What I Wish I Would’ve Known

Not too long ago, I found myself reflecting on what I wish I had known when my spiritual journey began. There have been a lot of unexpected twists and turns, as I navigate life through a spiritual lens, but I've also gained valuable insights about myself and the world around me.

From Calm to Chaos with my Guides

People often ask how I navigate uncertainty and embrace change with grace. First, I’m not always graceful. Second, I give a lot of credit to my Spirit Guides.. No matter how turbulent the storm, I know I’m never alone.

Embracing Your Ever-Changing Journey

I was trying very hard to flow with all of life's changes, but each day felt a little bit like a surfing accident I once had...😂 Last week was my turn to kick up some sand.‍

A Leap of Faith: Exploring the Imagery of the Fool

Each card’s meaning is influenced by the traditional meanings, my intuition, and the imagery depicted on each card. Let's dive into a behind-the-scenes look at how I interpret the imagery of The Fool card.

Embracing The Fool's Wisdom: A Journey of Transformation

Change has been a constant companion, guiding me through transformative experiences every few years. If it were a card in the tarot, it would be represented by The Fool,--signifying new beginnings and shifts ahead.

6 Ways to Find Support on a Journey of Grief

There is no greater transition than the kind that the journey of grief pushes you into. It doesn’t matter if it’s a death, a loss of a job, the end of a relationship, the loss of a dream—grief can stop you in your tracks.

3 Things to Help You Focus & Get Curious

My End of Year Ritual & How I Wrap Up My Year... As 2023 approaches, I feel a tug, a desire, to reflect back on the past year. To say this year was intense and full of change for me would be a massive understatement. Some years are just like that—so full that it seems like January was years ago, not just months.

Breadcrumbs of Hope

Sometimes our prayers or answers to questions we pose to Spirit aren’t actually answered directly from Spirit. These “indirect” answers are what are referred to as cledons. Cledons are defined as messages from Spirit—that aren’t meant to be a message from Spirit by those who are delivering them. Case in point: an email that landed in my inbox which was closely followed by a message posted by a friend of my husband.

What are miracles?

For those of you who know me, have taken classes with me or have had a 1:1 session, you’ll have noticed that I like to ponder things. My definition of pondering is where a thought drops in that causes me to pause—a thought that catches my attention. And then I will make space for that thought or concept to unfold organically—with a lot of help from Spirit, usually. The most recent concept to catch my attention: ‍What are miracles?

How Spirit Helps Us Navigate Change

I joke and tell my intuitive coaching and mediumship clients that I’m sort of like a phone operator. You call me and I call Spirit and pass along the information you are asking about—and while it does work like this for my work—it isn’t always so easy for myself. I have a few tried and true methods that help me, when it feels like Spirit isn’t picking up their direct line.

4 Helpful Tips When Facing Change

I find that when the leaves begin to change color, I also begin to change. It happens every fall. The cool air comes in and as nature shifts, so do I. Sometimes it’s big shifts, sometimes smaller ones, but both are important in the process of evolving more deeply into who we are at our core.

Turning Life Upside Down

You may have noticed that there have been a few missed blog posts lately. That’s because life has turned upside down recently and I am working on getting my bearings.

What is the energy of The Empress?

We’re progressing with the Major Arcana to The Empress this month. We started off with The Fool: new beginnings, new starts, adventures. Then The Magician: energy begins to manifest. Moving forward into The High Priestess: urging us to tap into our intuition. Going within helps to give birth more fully to that new beginning. And that’s where The Empress comes into play.

Making Memories

Memories are such odd things. Sometimes they can be so vivid, while other times they are completely elusive, leaving me reaching, stretching to pinpoint it. And I never know what will trigger one–a picture, a smell, a song. And then the memory rushes up to meet me, taking me back in time, like it all happened yesterday.

May 16, 2022

What is the energy of The High Priestess

We’re progressing with the Major Arcana into The High Priestess. So far, we’ve explored The Fool, new beginnings, and The Magician, bringing those new beginnings to life. So how does the High Priestess fit in then? In order to move forward, you need to tune into your own inner wisdom for the next steps of your journey.

What to do with a card deck you don’t like?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever bought a tarot or oracle deck, only to find that when it arrived at your door that the deck just really wasn’t for you. I totally have. And it’s such a bummer when it happens. I usually discover that it’s just not going to work when I open the box and play with it for a bit.

April 18, 2022

What is the energy of The Magician?

Taking the first steps. Recognizing and understanding you have the power to transform. Tapping into your past experiences and inner wisdom to bring things to life in creative and open ways. Taking a dream and combining it with intentional action and focus.

What does your story mean to you?

In my sessions and my classes, I chat a lot about this idea of your life’s story. I also think the term “story” can be interpreted many ways–your belief systems, your actual story plot point by plot point, your repeating patterns, etc. But at its most basic, story is the essence of who you are and how you came to be. That’s a pretty sacred thing, yet we often refer to our story in critical terms–as something we tell ourselves, but isn’t really true, or something that needs to be adjusted or fixed–so that we can go out into the world and live our fullest life.

Soul Tarot in Real Life: 0 | The Fool

Open doors. So many possibilities. On the precipice of something new. The Fool evokes a sense of adventure and optimism. As they stand on the edge of the cliff, they don’t know what will happen, but they can feel the potential. A new journey is beginning.

What Makes a “Good” Boundary Good

It’s interesting, when I mention boundaries in my workshops and classes, I often get a mixed reaction about them. I have people that are like, “Yes! Boundaries!” and others that just groan and don’t want to talk about them. I get it. I sometimes groan about boundaries too. Like what even are they? And why are they so much work?

What is the Story of Your Past?

It’s interesting, so many people want to know what their future holds during a reading, but I think the most powerful thing you can do is to understand your past. Have you ever had a moment in life where someone tried to put a narrative on you—tried to tell you what your story was going to be if you didn’t do X, Y, or Z?

10 Years, 3 Important Lessons

Have you seen the photo challenge going around on social media? Apparently you post a picture of yourself from 10 years ago to compare to what you look like now. Finding a decade old picture sounded like work to me. But it did get me thinking about the last 10 years. If you had told me 10 years ago, I’d have my own practice as a psychic medium, I wouldn’t have believed you. In fact, I don’t think 10 years ago I would have considered myself a psychic medium–an intuitive, yes; psychic medium, no.

Resolutions and Intentions

Tis the season for resolutions and intentions. I don't know about you, but my email is currently overflowing with end of year/beginning of year offers. I love that people have embraced the practice of reflection and intentional creation.

What is Word of the Year

You know the end of the year is coming soon when you start writing 2022 on things. Yikes! The end of the year always seems to come at warp speed. I think it happens sometime at the end of October. It’s Halloween and then I wake up and it’s the New Year. I always have the best intentions to make space to reflect, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. However, this year is different. And it all started with my word of the year.

Stress Stoplight: A Visualization for Identifying Stress

Stress. We all have it. But sometimes we don’t slow down enough to see it creeping up on us. How many times have you looked back and said, “Oh yeah, I guess there WERE red flags waving at me…”So how do you know if you’re stressed—I mean really stressed? Well, in order to avoid a full on meltdown, I’m sharing with you a little visualization I do with myself when I feel things starting to get overwhelming. The interesting things is that I often think I’m handling it ok and when I tune in, I find out I’m not.

Life is Imperfect and Beautiful

Life is imperfect and that’s what makes it beautiful, but how do we handle these meltdown moments? Here is what I do when life interrupts my flow, i.e. I can’t meditate, don’t have time to pull cards, can’t find time to journal, etc. This usually happens when life just keeps handing me challenge after challenge and the only thing I can do is just keep my head above water.

What to do when life hits the fan

Do you feel like if you just tried harder, your life would be perfect?This question came to the surface the other day when a friend messaged me. We hadn’t talked in a while because we both have been really busy. She asked me how things were going and I was honest—things had been really challenging of late. She then exclaimed, “Wow! You’d never know it by looking at your IG!”

How do you connect directly to your Spirit Team?

How do you connect directly to your Spirit Team? Now that your introductory tour is complete, let’s get down to the next important step—how the heck do you connect with them? There is no one “right” way, but here are five ideas to play with...

What are Nature Guides?

Does nature speak to you? Personally, I love being in nature. I feel infinitely more connected when I’m sitting in a garden, hiking a mountain, or swimming in the ocean—and I definitely don’t feel alone. When you’re out in nature, you may encounter a very different type of guide that is directly connected to earth—Nature Guides. Nature Guide is a term I use loosely. While I group them under this name, the various guides are definitely different and I wouldn’t dare insult them by thinking they are all the same.

Animal Spirit Guides—I love working with them because they bring a magic into our lives that's totally different then your other guides and helpers.But what are they exactly? The animal spirit guides I work with are exactly what they sound like—spirit guides in animal form.

The Power of the Ancestors

When I say the word, Ancestors, what pops into your mind? There are so many ways to describe these guides. There are ancestors of our blood, of place, of time—and the wisdom they carry is different in each area. This is a HUGE topic and area of study, and I’m going to simplify it for you.

What are Ascended Masters?

Need really specific guidance? Working on an issue where you could use a mentor or teacher? You may want to connect to an Ascended Master.Like Archangels, these teachers carry a big energy with them. You know when they’re in the room! But who are they?

What are Spirit Guides?

Have you ever wished you had a back up team on call to help you with not only your challenges, but your day-to-day life? You do! They're called Spirit Guides—and they are here to help you in so many different ways.I LOVE working with Spirit Guides, whether it’s connecting for myself or to others' guides in a session. So who are these amazing Spirit Guide beings?

What are Angels?

What are Angels? They are popularly known as these amazing beings with wings, but there is so much more to them. There are various different kinds of angels that can make up your team, but two of the more well known types are Guardian Angels and the Archangels.

What is a "Spirit Team"?

One of the most frequent requests I get during intuitive readings is: Who is on my Spirit Team? People want to know the energetic beings that are supporting them.

Create Joy: A Holiday Survival Tip

Your Holiday Season may look something like this: Going a million miles an hour—attending parties, wrapping gifts, shopping, seeing family and friends, school & dinner events galore. Then followed by: Thinking of all the things that you haven’t done yet—the people in your life that need gifts or attention, the events and the to-dos that are still on your list, the disappointment of letting people down when you’ve stretched yourself too thin. All of these demands combined with the busy-ness of the season can lead to a pretty joy-less place.

Slow Down & Reconnect: A Holiday Survival Tip

With all the rush to buy gifts for everyone else and parties to attend, we sometimes forget to slow down and reconnect to ourselves and a higher power. This week, make space for yourself to do something that reminds you of your connection to your soul and to spirit. I’ve included some ideas and things that help me reestablish my connection to Spirit.

Power of Saying No: A Holiday Survival Tip

The Holidays can be so much more fun when we say yes to things that resonate with us and no to things that don't--without feeling guilty! When we say no, we avoid burnout and that cranky feeling that comes with being depleted. How do you know what to say no to? I've got a short intuitive exercise that uses your body as a divination tool that will help with determining whether or not you should say no...

Mondays are for Me

I’ve taken off Mondays every week for years. There’s a reason for it: Mondays are for me. It’s quiet in the house—my husband is at work, my kiddo is at school. I don’t work on anything that has to do with my business. I turn off my phone, turn on the meditation music. I make a fantastic cup of tea that I enjoy hot and steaming(not forgotten and cold). All of the Monday business needs are done in advance. I just breathe and let go.

Crossed Over Loved Ones, Helping Us to Heal

Grief is such a funny thing—just when you think you’re mostly healed or you have a handle on it, it sneaks up on you—catching you off guard.

October 11, 2019

The Gift of Saying No

What if saying no, was a gift for both people? Often we yes to things in life because we feel that we "should" or we don't want to let the other person down. But what if no is really a gift? What if, by saying "no", you allow the other person the room or space they need right at that moment?

How do your angels speak to you?

This morning, while I was connecting to Spirit, I sent a prayer to Mary the Mother of Angels. I’ve had some challenging times being a mother to my young daughter, since we’ve moved. I prayed, “With all my heart, I want to be a better mother, a better nurturer. I want to find solutions to her struggles and be a better guide for my daughter on her journey. I want to be more patient, more supportive and most of all I want to teach her to come from a place of love and not fear. And so it is.” I sent the prayer up without a thought for how it would return or when I would “know” Mary had heard me.

The Blessing of Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde is done and the planet has gone direct again. I have to be honest—I'm a bit relieved. This one was a bit more challenging than the ones in the past. Why? Well, for me, I think I was in a place where I was ready to dive deep and clean house and Mercury Retrograde was more than happy to help me out in that department.

The Housewives Tarot Deck Review

Tarot lovers are you looking for something fun to jump into this summer? The Housewives Tarot: A Domestic Divination Kit is for you. It’s campy, irreverent, and has bold, eye catching illustrations. From the beginning, this deck, designed by Paul Keppel and Jude Buffum, isn’t your typical tarot deck. It arrives in a box that looks like a recipe box your grandma would own. Inside there are recipe tabs holding the instruction booklet that begins with a fun “story” of how this deck came into existence, the Major Arcana, and the Minor Arcana.

The Process of Dying

Death has been on the forefront of my mind because my grandmother is currently working on transitioning from this life into the next. It has been ongoing process for quite some time, but recently has picked up speed. She is a lot more out of her body now than she was this summer when I spent time with her. There’s some confusion surrounding it and she’s starting to see more things that people claim “aren’t there”. (I let her in on a little secret this summer, “I see them too, Grandma. Just so you know—they ARE there…just not everyone can pick up on them.” There was a sense of relief and peace that came with that.)

A Light in the Dark

This time of year always holds a special magic for me. Our days get shorter and the light is less. I used to panic about it getting dark, holding on to the last days of summer with all my might, but the last few years living in Alaska have taught me that the dark allows us to see things we would miss in the light. ‍This morning I was physically reminded of the magic that happens in the dark.

Signs from Heaven

Have you ever wondered if your crossed over loved ones can communicate with you? I think this a natural curiosity we all have—and from my experience the answer is a resounding “yes!” We just have to be open and aware to see the signs.

Follow the Love: A Short Guided Meditation

How do you connect to the other side? You follow the love. When I work with people to help them connect to their loved ones who have crossed over, the very first thing I seer feel is this blinding light full of love. The magnitude of it always takes my breath away.

Let Your Lovelight Shine: A Soul Tarot Layout

Valentine’s Day rolls around and people everywhere get relationship questions on the brain: Will I ever find the one? Will my marriage last forever? Will this current relationship work out? What can I do/say/think to find the one?These are big questions. Of course we want to know if we will find love, but the real question being asked is, “Am I lovable? Am I worthy?”

Room By Room: A Soul Tarot Layout

I’ve been going back and forth with what I wanted to do for an oracle or tarot layout for the Spring Energy Clearing Series. I’ve focused a lot on the “space” or “environment” part of clearing, but haven’t given much attention to figuring out what needs to be cleared from the energetic side of life. This layout is all about discovery and digging deeper. It’s about finding what needs to shift and what is working for you.

Enhancing Your Relationship With Soul Tarot

Valentine’s Day always bring a wealth of articles about how to attract your soulmate or find true love. Find love if you do this—find love if you do that. While well meaning, they fail to mention what to do with this love once you have found it. How do you make that love grow? How do you make it deeper and more rich? How can you support each other in the relationship?This Valentine’s Day, I decided I would help remedy that. I’m not a love guru and I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I decided to work up a relationship tarot/oracle spread so that you can gain more insight on how you can move forward with your partner on your individual paths.

Tapping into Power of Prayer

When was the last time you stopped and prayed and then waited to hear the answer? When did you pause and reach out to something bigger than yourself? Prayer was a ritual that used to be passed down generation to generation. It was sacred. It provided hope, answers, even salvation. The simple act of prayer.

New Year Reading: Truth & Miracles

This year’s reading is a bit different. It’s not your typical month by month energetic forecast. I do find those helpful, but if last year taught me anything, it’s that things change moment to moment. I wanted to find something that would be more helpful to you and more stable. Something more True.

Illuminating The Shadow: A Winter Solstice Soul Tarot Layout

The darkness of winter lends itself to being quiet and introspective. We curl under our blankets next to a fire (or a heater) or gather with friends and family to share the warmth of love. The Winter Solstice is no exception. It not only gives us the chance to go within and look at what we have accomplished but, we also look at what we think is holding us back.

Blending Mediumship & Tarot

At some point in our lives, we’ve all wondered what happens after we die. These thoughts are normal, and tend to occur when a loved one passes away… We long to connect with the Other Side to answer questions like: “What happens after we cross over?” and “Is there even an afterlife?” What if I told you it’s possible to use the Tarot as a tool to connect to the Other Side?

How To Use Tarot To Understand Your Soul Lessons

Wouldn't it be nice if you had a tool that could help you get clarity on what the heck is going on in your life right now? Well, you do. It's called the tarot. Tarot is recognized around the world as a great way to connect to the Universe, so why not use it to delve into what you're learning in this lifetime? Information like soul lessons, life purpose, and soul contracts are all at your fingertips, waiting to be rediscovered with a flip of a card. I like to refer to this type of tarot as Soul Tarot--a style of tarot that empowers you to make decisions and discover your own personal path, by connecting with your Spirit Team using the tarot cards. This information could help you remove blocks and get you moving forward on your journey, so let’s get started.

Your Life's Calling: Getting Unstuck And Fulfilling Your Life Lessons

Wondering what new book you should dive into now that the days are getting shorter? What better way to make the use of this down (dark) time than to pick up a copy of Nancy Canning’s Your Life’s Calling: Getting Unstuck and Fulfilling Your Life Lessons.This book caught my attention when it first came out, but I didn’t find time to read it until this summer. I’m so glad I brought it on the move with me. With big changes in my physical world, I was ready to make big changes on a soul level, as well. It deals with the concept of belief systems and how they affect everything in our lives.

Life Between Lives

If you have ever done a past life regression, you know that the information you receive can be life changing. For those of you who have never done one, it’s a way to go deep into your soul through hypnosis and receive information about past incarnations. This information is meant to help you in some way with understanding your current life and challenges.

A Lesson in Old San Juan

If you have ever taken a class from me the first thing you will hear me say is you have to be grounded, grounded, grounded! The second annoying thing you will hear me say is that you have to have boundaries and filters in your psychic or mediumship work. If you don't want to be overwhelmed and burnt out, then you must set up boundaries for yourself and be firm about it. So, you would think that an experienced medium like myself would be perfect with keeping up boundaries and filters...

Where Two World's Meet

I was searching for a true beginner's guide to developing Mediumship abilities and picked up Janet Nohavec's "Where Two Worlds Meet".‍If you aren't familiar with my Mediumship sessions, I come from the point of view that believes EVERYONE has the ability to connect. Because of this belief, I have been trying to find a book that has great practice exercises and explains how Mediumship works for my clients and development students. "Where Two Worlds Meet" didn't disappoint.

Wildwood Tarot Deck Review

One of my favorite tarot decks to work with is the Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan & John Matthews and illustrated by Will Worthington. It’s rich images, soulful messages, and shamanic energy make this my go-to deck for deep healing and seasonal readings, such as Winter Solstice. The deck is filled with beautiful pre-Celtic-inspired imagery. From the Green Man to the Blasted Oak to The Sun, the images are a delight to the eyes and easy to connect to on an intuitive level.
