Has your energy been super low lately? Are you straining to get through the day? I have. It's been a struggle for me lately. So I went within to do my best to find out why. And I realized that I was going against the flow rather than with it. So I've changed it up. We need to reconnect back to our bodies and to nature. Doing so helps us to live a more aligned life. Have a listen to this super quick episode on how to recognize and be with our natural cycles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Some people are naturally intuitive and always trust their gut. But others, struggle with trusting themselves. And this affects so many aspects of their lives for they are plagued with self-doubt and fear.In this episode I talk about two things - I share the story of my dying marriage and how I wasn't able to hear my intuition even though it was quietly screaming at me. How I learned to finally learned that my feelings are often sign posts leading me to a truth that I wasn't able to see.And I talk about some steps that we can all take to strengthen our trust and faith.Come on over and leave a comment at simplywoke.com/019Or come hang out with me on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Do you consider yourself intuitive?I sure didn't. I believed intuition was for other lucky people and was never something that I could hone and practice. Boy was I wrong! I have since learned that our intuition is within us all, we just need to learn how to access it and trust it. And this is what my guest Natalie Miles and I speak about in today's episode.Natalie Miles is a Spiritual Mentor, Psychic Medium & host of the So You Think You’re Intuitive podcast. However, Natalie is not the typical psychic medium. It is her life’s mission and soul calling to inspire people across the globe to connect with their own intuition, so they can feel more connected and help themselves, each and every day. She believes that everyone is born intuitive, but most people have forgotten how to use their natural gifts. Natalie has been guided by Spirit to be “the door opener” and reactivate people with their intuition so they can live their most authentic life.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL HEAR:Why she calls awakening a reactivation Why some of us are naturally more intuitive than othersWhy some children are exceptionally gifted and talentedThe first time she met her spirit guide as a childWhat it was like to be a highly intuitive childHow her childhood dog helped her family to awakenHer big life boulders that forced her to listen to SpiritWhy perceived disastrous things are actually signs to redirect youWhat shadow work is and why it’s importantWhy universal energy affects usHow we had similar dreams and we dream as a collectiveHow I need to open up to receiving messages via the dream stateUsing your imagination to connect to your intuition and really practicing and trusting what is comingWhat it’s like to be clairvoyant and how one see’s with the third eyeWhat our spirit guides are all about LINKS:Instagram @iamnataliemilesSo You Think You're Intuitive podcastA Guided Online workshop to learn how to connect with with your guides - Your's for 50% off, just use the code - PODCAST Hosted on Acast.

#015 - It's a new year, which for many of us means a new start. Goals are set and we bring in the new year with a ton of motivation...only to have the momentum dwindle 2 weeks later. The reason why so many resolutions fail is that we try to change our outer world before we change our inner world. We don't succeed because we don't believe that we can. And therefore our thoughts don't align with the actions we need to take to achieve what we want. So how can we change a belief? In this episode I talk about how to change our beliefs by trying something new...called the embodiment experiment.In this episode you'll hear:Why most resolutions failWhat to do when you hate goal settingWhy progress is better and more important than the outcomeHow to believe in yourself and your abilities when the past has shown otherwiseWhy we should rewire the brainWhat we should do every morning to create the life we wantHow theatre can help us get in the role of our future selfHow to embody the essence of who you want to beWhat the embodiment experiment isFor full show notes come on over to simplywoke.com/015Join the Embody Your Essence Facebook GroupOr come hang out with me on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

# 014 - It's the end of the year! Which means that this is the time where many of us start reflecting on the year that has passed and we start thinking about what we want to accomplish in the New Year. The end of the year is a wonderful time to shed what no longer serves us, because it's the only way for us to get exactly what we want in the upcoming year. We need to let go of old thoughts, behaviours and energy patterns in order to make space to let in something new.But change is hard and we so often start off the year with a bang, but we haven't done the inner work to make sure our goals and dreams come to fruition. In this solo episode I talk about the different steps needed to fully let go so we can step into an amazing version of ourselves and make 2019 one to remember. For full show notes and more info go here: simplywoke.com/014Letting go mini-workshop: http://simplywoke.com/letgoCome hang with me on Instagram - @simply_wokeOr stop by the blog - www.simplywoke.com If you have your own awakening story and are interested in being on the show please email me at hello@simplywoke.com Hosted on Acast.

Which is very interesting for someone who works at a funeral home! She also opened up to her creativity, which she felt she never had before. She now cuts, shapes and tumbles her own stones and turns them in to jewelry pieces that are used to help heal others.

In this very first episode, I talk about why I started this Podcast, my intention for it, who it's for and of course the story of my Spiritual Awakening. In a nutshell, my awakening started after I suddenly experienced some paranormal activity. It was a subtle, yet mind blowing experience, which caused a total paradigm shift for me. I realized that there was far more to this world than my regular five senses could perceive. It caused me to open up and start receiving mini miracles on a regular basis.
