Her Higher Self Has Questions with Jamie Estelle RothWhat happens when losing one way of seeing seems to open another?In 2021, Jamie Estelle Roth woke up with a dark spot in her left eye. Within months, after a frightening series of medical problems, hospital stays and treatments, she had lost most of her vision.Her old life changed almost overnight. But Jamie says something else changed, too.As she adjusted to blindness, the inner voice she now calls her higher self became much harder to ignore. She began noticing stronger intuitions, unexpected messages, synchronicities and unusual visual experiences within what she describes as the “veil” across her remaining vision.Jamie joins Andy Walker to talk about the terrifying transition from sighted to blind, why she believes losing her vision amplified her intuition and how she learned to distinguish the quieter voice of her higher self from fear and everyday mental noise.They explore acceptance, surrender, synchronicity and Jamie’s realization that blindness did not end her life — it changed how she experiences it.Today, Jamie says she can genuinely describe what happened to her as a gift, while also acknowledging that she would still love to see again.Jamie is the author of Should’ve Seen That Coming: Navigating the In-Between Moments of Acceptance, Surrender, and Resilience and host of the podcast My Higher Self Has Questions.Full show notes and episode resources:https://woowisdom.com/s2ep24/Woo Skill: Be Present, Breathe Into It, Become That Which IsJamie shares a simple mantra that came to her following one of her vivid dreams:Be present.Breathe into it.Become that which is.Try it when your mind is racing, you are worrying about what comes next or you find yourself trying to force an answer.Pause and take a slow breath as you say, “Be present.”Take another breath and say, “Breathe into it.”Then allow yourself to stop fighting the moment and say, “Become that which is.”Jamie visualizes an infinity symbol as she repeats the mantra, bringing her attention back around to presence.The purpose is not to force an intuitive message to appear. It is to get quiet enough to notice what is already happening — including what your own intuition may be trying to tell you.Woo Wisdom+ Extended EpisodeThen Jamie turns the microphone around.In the extended Woo Wisdom+ conversation, Jamie brings the interviewing style of her own podcast, My Higher Self Has Questions, to Woo Wisdom and starts asking Andy the questions.How did a technology journalist and longtime rational thinker find his way into meditation, spirit guides, synchronicity and consciousness?Why was Andy initially reluctant to talk publicly about some of the experiences he was having?The conversation quickly becomes more personal, moving through spiritual experiences, strange coincidences, forgiveness, estrangement, family relationships and the question of whether even some of the hardest people in our lives may have something to teach us.What begins as a role reversal becomes a conversation about how exploring the woo has changed Andy — and how our relationships, beliefs and sense of ourselves can change as we get older.Hear the extended episode with Woo Wisdom+ on Patreon:https://patreon.com/woowisdomYou can also access extended video episodes by joining Woo Wisdom on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@woowisdomAbout Jamie Estelle RothJamie Estelle Roth is an author, speaker and podcast host whose sudden loss of vision in her fifties led to a profound change in how she understood herself, spirituality and the direction of her life.

What is consciousness — and could it be something bigger than the brain?This week, Andy talks with Dr. Anthony Lauro, chiropractor, health educator and author of The Reality You Are, about consciousness, intuition, meditation and the possibility that the brain may act more like a receiver or filter than the source of awareness itself.Anthony shares how his decades-long interest in meditation, spirituality and human potential shaped his view of consciousness, and why he believes our everyday awareness may be only one part of a much larger reality.In This EpisodeAndy and Anthony explore the “hard problem” of consciousness, near-death experiences, psychic intuition, the higher self and the idea that our individual awareness may be connected to a larger consciousness.They also discuss why meditation can create a sense of distance from thoughts and emotions, whether intuitive ability can be developed, and what it might mean to live with a stronger sense of connection to other people.Anthony also explains the thinking behind The Reality You Are and why he sees curiosity, understanding, belief and lived experience as different stages in exploring consciousness.This Week’s Woo SkillTry the observer exercise.Close your eyes and simply notice a thought, emotion or physical sensation without trying to change it.You might notice your feet on the floor, your body against the chair or a thought moving through your mind.The goal is not to stop thinking. It is to notice that you can observe the thought or sensation rather than automatically identify with it.Anthony describes that small shift into observation as one way of experiencing conscious awareness directly.In the Extended Woo Wisdom+ EpisodeWoo Wisdom+ members get an additional conversation about simulation theory, the mind-body connection, healing and how consciousness may influence the way we experience physical health and aging.Andy and Anthony also explore why beliefs, expectations and mindset may matter more to the body than we sometimes realize.Learn MoreFull show notes, guest links and episode resources:https://woowisdom.com/s2ep23Learn more about Anthony and The Reality You Are:https://therealityyouare.comFix the book website domain everywhereMake the book link call to action stronger

How do you know when something is truly a sign — and when it’s just a passing thought?Psychic and bestselling author Leon Arayah Lewis joins Andy to explore divine timing, synchronicity and the idea that some experiences arrive only when we are ready for them.Leon shares the story behind Inside Out: A Journey of the Soul, a book he wrote decades ago but says was not meant to be published until now. He explains why he believes the soul enters life with a plan, how spiritual guides may help us recognize important moments and why he sees synchronicity as different from coincidence.Andy also asks how to distinguish genuine guidance from wishful thinking or ordinary happenstance. The conversation becomes personal when Leon gives Andy a soul reading and identifies a pattern around momentum, self-doubt and pulling back just as things begin to move forward.They also explore free will, meditation, fear and what it means to trust the timing of your life without knowing exactly what comes next.Woo SkillThis episode’s Woo Skill offers a simple way to test whether a possible sign has real staying power or is simply a passing thought.Extended EpisodeIn the Woo Wisdom+ extended segment, Andy reflects on why Leon’s reading hit so close to home and what it stirred up around persistence, self-trust and the direction of the show.Full show notes: https://woowisdom.com/s2ep22Leon's web site: http://soulsessionswithleon.com/Leon's book: Inside Out: A Journey of the Soul,

Are you intuitive, imaginative or just overthinking everything?Shamanic healer Silviya Doneva joins Andy to explore how we can tell the difference between intuition, fear and the stories our minds create.Silviya once worked as a computer engineer and trusted logic above almost everything else. Then, during a dark period in her life, her grandfather, who had been dead for more than 20 years, began appearing to her in broad daylight.In this episode, Silviya explains what intuitive information can feel like, why fear often arrives with urgency and a story attached, and how to recognize the quieter first impression underneath it.Then Andy becomes the guinea pig in a simple Woo Skill designed to test intuition before the analytical mind takes over.In the extended Woo Wisdom+ conversation, they explore soul retrieval, lost confidence, spirit animals and what it means to reclaim parts of yourself you feel you have lost.Show notes: https://woowisdom.com/s2ep21Silviya's website: https://www.thebutterflyalchemy.com/
