The Leading With Love Podcast

Why are we so afraid of the unknown?We hang on to the familiar, even when it's deeply uncomfortable.We distract ourselves and keep busy to maintain a sense of control over the uncontrollable, and deny that uncertainty is a constant in life. We will do just about anything to avoid silence ... because silence opens up space for our suppressed thoughts and fears to surface, for our inner darkness to reveal itself... and this seems far scarier than what we already know how to handle, even if that 'handling' is painful and dysfunctional.BUT.What if we're wrong? What if uncertainty can be transformed in our perspective, from discomfort and fear to the delicious anticipation of events and circumstances that are profoundly aligned with our highest good?What if EVERYthing wonderful and magical that we hope and yearn for is available on the other side of our willingness to get quiet and allow ourselves to navigate our 'darkest' places?What if embracing the unknown is the only way to access all that MAGIC, and we've been holding ourselves back from it?Just an invitation, as always ...

You are energy, life-force, frequency ... slowed down for just a little while to take the form of your amazing self.In a world that seems to be full of chaotic energies, YOUR resonance matters. Doing the inner cleansing to clarify your unique frequency and align it with the energies you wish to see more of on Earth is one of the highest tasks you can do in this life. “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." ~ Nikola TeslaWe can either get lost ourselves in the vibrations flowing around us, or we can become like tuning forks ~ clean and clear. In my experience, this alignment and clarity feels WAY better to us as individuals, and has positive impact on everything 'outside' of us as well.Enjoy this episode ~~ it is an invitation we may choose to say yes to, in this time when the Earth and her inhabitants need us most.

Want to feel amazing?Plug back in ... heal the disconnect ... let the elements remind you are of your true NATURE.Then, power UP.xo ⚡️💚⚡️“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”“There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.”~ Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi“You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.”~ Thích Nhất Hạnh"The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. Our contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries. ... the cosmos is within us. We are made of starstuff."~ Carl SaganShow Notes:Music: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com/track/blossomFull video podcast: https://youtu.be/KSfUwzYq2-g🌺 Join us on Telegram for 'Love Notes' ~~ a little daily infusion of connection and love! 🌺https://t.me/lovenotesdaily

Wow!! We ALL need to hear this, again and again ... In a world where we can so easily get distracted for YEARS, may this be another reminder that we are LIFE FORCE embodied.May we get back into *this moment* so we can connect with our heart's dreams, our soul's callings, whatever adventures our spirits want to have in this lifetime, and the legacy our lives are asking us to fulfill.What I really love about this episode is I recorded it upon my return from Kaua'i in June of 2023, and had a tough few months where I truly didn't know if I would get back to my heart's home.  Yet ... I am posting this from Kaua'i now, with a soaring heart full of gratitude for having answered my soul's call to come back, even through hardship and existing dynamics that may have kept me from doing so. There will *always* be reasons not to do things. and, there will *always* be a little voice from your heart, calling you forward.I will leave you with some of my beloved father's fave quotes, from another stark yet beautiful reminder, Sterling Hayden's The Wanderer:"Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?""...we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade. "I’ve always wanted to sail to the South Seas, but I can’t afford it." What these men can’t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine — and before we know it our lives are gone."TODAY is that day ... may we live this and every other day fully, with no regrets!!With infinite love,Shauna xo❤️Show Notes:Music: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com/track/blossomFull video episode: https://youtu.be/gcFIJeieljE🌺 Join us on Telegram for 'Love Notes' ~~ a little daily infusion of connection and love! 🌺https://t.me/lovenotesdaily

YES WE CAN ... each of us, make a critical difference!Just re-listening to this as I was uploading it brought tears to my eyes ... I *LOVE* this little episode so much. I remember reading a book entitled The Power of ONE when I was a teenager, and it had lasting impact. I am hoping that the message shared here today, reaching forward to us from a 1972 interview with R. Buckminster Fuller, will have a similar impact on you, and you in turn on this beautiful world.🌟❤️🌟Thanks to the wayshowers who have come before us ~~ and may we all step up and co-create the world we want to see.NOW is the time we have all been preparing for, and WE are the ones we have been waiting for.

...it's a bit blurry, and I don't have my camera, or mic, or lighting or sound equipment ... and it's OK! Because life HAPPENS, and when we flow with that we are much happier. 🤩That's what this episode is about: life, and how we can go from resistance to surrender to embracing it, whatever may be occurring.Life itself knows this ... it flows and evolves and continues to create and renew itself, in myriad manifestations. It is US that has forgotten how this works, and that we are - or should be - part of that flow.Enjoy, and thank you for being here!Shauna xo***Show Notes:Find me at http://shaunaarthurs.comMusic: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com/track/blossomFull video podcast: https://youtu.be/uqk1X04UYJI

If the world is a mirror, what are we seeing?We are in a time of conscious co-creation, and we can choose to truly BE the change we want to see when we fully receive that we are being shown, every moment, what we are 'putting out' there.Soooo,* Who are you?* What do you want to experience?* What do you focus on?* What are you creating?* What do you want to offer to others, to this world?* What do you want to FEEL, and receive back?* What do you choose ~ ahead of time so that you can BE THAT when tested?I love this episode so much ...

What is the meaning of all this and what is my purpose?🌟 Inner KNOWING: I AM this (insert your word/s here).

Ohhh, the wisdom I enjoyed in this conversation! Angela is a powerful spirit and has much to share with us ~~ I feel like we just scratched the surface of what she has for us, and for the world. Some gems in this episode include:* Body Love and Wisdom: Why your body, in ALL its manifestations - perhaps especially those that seem unwanted or we've been ashamed of - is the most accurate and beautiful guide* Restoring Flow: Why suppressing ANYthing that wants to come through ~ from speaking truth to expressing creativity ~ 'stops the train of YOU' and leads to health issues (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual!)* Subtle or Loud: Calming your nervous system so you can receive the quieter information that is being shared* Spiritual Sleight of Hand: What you THINK is your challenge is just a gateway ... SO much healing is available once you open that up (and Angela is a genius at this!)* Personal Power: Your hero's journey and how to focus on your own path ❤️ "Your body is here for you, for the sole/soul purpose of and for you and your life experience..." ❤️ "Your first language is vibe and energy, and we all have the ability to sense and live by that..."I *LOVED* this conversation, and I trust you will too!Shauna xoShow notes:* Find Angela at https://www.instagram.com/docangela/ and https://www.facebook.com/angela.m.smith.94* Full video version: https://youtu.be/mJgfR4_SZj4* JOIN Daily Love Note Audios: https://t.me/lovenotesdaily
