Is it as simple as having a psychic tell you your purpose and hey, presto, you’re sorted? Join me as we unpack this as I dive into the role of psychic readings in revealing one's life purpose and my own personal experience.  I recount a serendipitous encounter with an ‘inter-dimensional channel’ in Sedona, Arizona, who channelled information about my purpose.  I reveal how the insights landed at the time and how they have evolved over time.  This experience has taught me how psychic guidance can be used as a starting point for inner exploration but you must remain open to the unfolding journey of life.  Psychics filter and interpret information through their own personal lens, so stay open-minded when interpreting these insights.  Learn the importance of trusting your own journey and inner guidance while being open to mystic insights, knowing that fulfilling your true calling unfolds in divine right timing.  Tune in for advice on integrating psychic information into your own life and the ongoing process of self-discovery and development.

If something is meant for you, it won’t pass you by. In this episode I share my most recent experience that shows the importance of trusting life’s timing and having faith in the process.  Recently, I faced a big disappointment when we didn’t get the apartment we had hoped for... But ultimately it led us to find an even better place (which is divinely designed as discussed in episode #51 - Rejection is protection (so don't despair)).  Revealing how we navigated a competitive rental market and manifesting a place that met all our criteria, this story serves as a testament to the power of faith and trusting that what's meant for you will not pass you by.  This episode reinforces the belief that what’s meant for you will find you, even in competitive situations or when the odds don’t seem in your favour.  If you trust yourself, take the right inspired actions, and stay open and patient to divine timing, then anything is possible.  Join me as I dive into these spiritual lessons and how they can transform your own path.

Are you holding yourself back from going for your dreams and soul callings?  Inspired by a recent psychic reading, we’re diving into how we often wait for external validation before we feel confident enough to go for what’s in our hearts (especially those of us who aren't cis-het white men!). Using my experiences from flood recovery efforts, I'll show you the power of acting confidently without waiting for permission.  This episode is a call to action: trust your intuition, embrace your unique contribution, and take that next step towards your calling.  It’s time to break free from self-doubt and light up the world with your unique, creative contribution.

In this episode we explore the significance of engaging in activities that bring joy and happiness to our lives.  Societal norms and pressures discourage you from taking the time for things that bring you joy, attributing value only to being “productive”. And yet, prioritising what makes you happy invigorates your life force energy and aligns you with your inner spirit. It’s time to experiment with activities that make you happy, and reconnect to what brought you joy as a child. I reveal how making happiness a priority, even in the smallest ways, helps you discover and fulfil your life’s purpose and calling. It’s that vital!

The world is our mirror, reflecting back our inner states of consciousness. The Dalai Lama said “we'll never see peace in the outer world until we have peace within ourselves” So as we face rising global unrest, one of the most powerful things we can do is continue not only to show up and take the actions we are called to take to contribute to change, but do the inner work to embody the peace we want to see in the world.  In this episode, I share about that time I googled for ‘spiritual psychic help’ and the surprising life-changing revelation it revealed that changed my life. It helped me understand how each of us taking radical responsibility and doing our inner healing forms a critical part of our healing our world.  The other episodes I mention are: #69 - Year of Yes #5 - Dealing with worry about the future In this episode: 00:20 Reflecting on a Week of Emotional Highs and Lows 01:55 The Importance of Self-Care and Kindness 03:42 Observations on Global Protests and Inner Peace 04:51 Personal Journey of Inner Healing 10:28 The World is Your Mirror: Insights and Inner Work 13:59 The Power of Sharing Your Story 15:08 Navigating Loss and Grief with Inner Strength 20:08 Embracing Inner Work for Global Change 24:24 Offering Support and Encouragement Free Discovery Chat Curious about working together?

In this episode we dive into the art of dealing with life's unforeseen challenges. I share my latest personal process rooted in my profound connection to trees and my distress in response to my landlord’s plans to remove all the trees in our backyard.  This experience becomes a gateway to a broader conversation about life's unpredictability and how seemingly adverse situations can be leading you to what you need in ways you can’t foresee.  Inspired by the Zen farmer parable, I reflect on the importance of embracing change, trusting in a greater unfolding and flow of life, and maintaining equanimity during difficult times. We need this now more than ever as we collectively face the distressing continuing genocide of Palestinians and the oppressive forces against the recent student protests.

A quick update to share that there won't be a regular episode this week as I'm currently enjoying a bit of a holiday in the northern rivers of New South Wales, dogsitting the world's cutest cavoodle for a friend.  This break has allowed me to soak up the sun, enjoy the beach, and reconnect with old friends in a place that feels deeply like home to me.  I also announce a slight shift in podcast schedule, with new episodes landing for your listening pleasure on Friday nights (Aussie time).  In this coming week, what can you do for your wellbeing and joy in your life?  Despite the brief hiatus, you can schedule 1:1  sessions with me for when I return home later next week, including my special oracle readings rate.  Book a free discovery call to explore working together: https://soulstrategies.co/discovery Schedule an oracle reading at special introductory rate: https://soulstrategies.co/oraclereading  In this brief update: 00:00 Welcome to a Random Update  00:23 Enjoying a Break and Embracing the Tropical Warmth!!  01:06 Upcoming Podcast Schedule Changes  01:38 Self-Care Encouragement 02:09 Reflections on Home and Community 03:01 Booking Services and Oracle Readings Offer 03:40 Goodbye Until Next Week (When the Podcast Resumes as Normal) Ways to connect with me: Website Instagram Free: Infinite Possibilities Meditation Discovery Chat Did you enjoy this episode?

Yet again, I am humbled to see how the unfolding path in front me is different from what I expected. This latest plot twist involves me getting a job!  Despite my extensive experience as a career coach and having clear goals, I faced unexpected challenges in my job search when I moved to Melbourne eight months ago. However, through these experiences, I learned the importance of trust, intuition, surrendering to divine timing, and being open to jobs that look different from what I initially expected.  In this episode, I delve into my insights and the lessons I learned about divine guidance, the importance of being open and flexible in our expectations, and how everything that happens is a part of a bigger plan for our highest good.  I discuss the transformative power of letting go of control, the importance of divine timing, and how these principles can apply to you in your own job search and career transitions.  Other episodes I mention are: #48 - Want a new job?

Are you holding on to guilt, regret or shame for things you've done or said in the past, to yourself or to others? This is the episode for you.  This was sparked by a social media poll I did that indicated how many of you struggle more with self-forgiveness than self-acceptance. So I open up and share some of my experiences of overcoming guilt and regret from the past - from the end of my marriage, broken friendships, addiction-fuelled regrets and the way I treated my mum and my body… Carrying emotional baggage from the past hinders your personal growth and connection to your true self. And yet, our biggest growth comes from painful experiences. So trust the journey, learn from past mistakes and forgive yourself. The journey of self-forgiveness will free you up to pursue your soul's purpose with less resistance and more ease. In this episode: 00:00 Welcome to the journey of self-forgiveness 01:01 The importance of self-forgiveness  03:25 Understanding self-forgiveness through personal stories 04:31 The process that helped me heal from so much shame  07:54 Deep dive into some of my personal experiences of forgiveness 13:04 The ripple effects of forgiveness in relationships 19:05 Embracing the journey and letting go 22:15 Support and resources for self-forgiveness 23:15 Conclusion: the path towards living your true calling Self-Forgiveness Meditation This binaural beats meditation will guide you to forgive yourself and help you find peace about the past. https://soulstrategies.co/meditations/p/self-forgiveness Create Space for Change A 4-part course to help you let go of what no longer serves you and create space for what you really want - more joy, fulfillment and freedom.

Potential plot twist time! In this episode I share my recent career developments. After some recent conversations sparking new ideas and feelings, and the lure of greater financial stability mixed with a desire to feel a part of a team again, I am back exploring the idea of getting what I affectionately call ‘a jobby job’.  I reveal the details of one opportunity that is unfolding in a hospital philanthropy team - how it came about unexpectedly and my current thoughts and feelings about it.  I am repeating this prayer about this opportunity: "Dear God (or Divine/ Universe/ Higher power of your choosing) Please bless it or block." Such a simple and powerful prayer to surrender to the Divine will. If you are on a current job search journey or just wondering what your next steps are, this is for you! I share the importance of trust in the process and divine timing, being open to possibilities, and allowing yourself the flexibility to pivot and change paths (whenever you feel called!).  I also introduce my new course, 'Create Space for Change,' to help you let go of what no longer serves you and create space for what you really want.  Check it out at https://soulstrategies.co/createspace Enrol by 11 April and get $50 off!

We all have an aversion to the unfamiliar and unknown, and yet that is the path we will continue to be called on by our souls.  Drawing inspiration from a client’s artistic journey, I share the metaphor of facing a blank canvas and how it symbolises the leap of faith required to embrace uncertainty and follow the steps as you are shown - without always knowing where they will lead. I share my most recent experience of the new, unexpected path opening up in offering oracle readings - how the steps to this new deeply satisfying work were revealed in stages and how yet again, I had no idea what was ahead on my path. I dive into the beauty of trusting your intuition, embracing change, letting go of what no longer serves you and aligning with your authentic self for personal and collective transformation.  Things I promised in the show notes: Oracle Readings  Whether you seek guidance on a specific issue or simply crave deeper understanding of your divine path, these sessions are tailored to help light your way forward.

I am tuning in from Adelaide for this episode and have been retracing my family roots, including finding ‘Amanda Street’ named after my great grandmother (who I am named after!). I share what I learnt from the book 'Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe' by Laura Lynne Jackson and my exploration of communication with my ancestors through signs.

It can be easy to lose hope and feel despairing in the face of what we are currently facing in the world.  We are in the midst of our collective dark night of the soul, which is a necessary (and painful) catalyst for our collective transformation and growth.  In this episode, I delve into what is keeping hope alive in my heart during these times.  I share my firsthand experiences of seeing the gifts in disaster and how they help to open our hearts and awaken us to our shared humanity.  Disasters of all natures (including man-made created ones like genocide) serve as a means for us to strengthen our collective power, which destablises the systems and structures that have oppressed our power until now.  Tune in and cultivate your hope, harness faith in a divine higher power, and trust in the power of love as the strongest force known to us.

Your path to feeling alive by an authentic, fulfilling life is to be true to yourself. And yet, in the noise of external expectations and influences, it can be difficult to be clear on your intuition and what feels true and right for you.  As Pluto enters Aquarius, we enter a period of immense transformation and awakening.  More than ever we are all being called to live in alignment with our souls.  In today’s episode, I share practical tips help you discover - and remain - true to yourself and your inner knowing in life, love and work.  I also share my own personal journey of self-discovery and honouring the inner calls of my soul, including as a queer woman (who for much of my life identified as hetero).  The key to feeling fully alive is to break free from the shackles of expectations and conditioning.

How does one hold their centre in the face of an increasingly insane world and growing pressures? In this episode, I dive into what it means to hold your centre and how vital it is to not lose faith and hope.
