This week, we're revisiting an episode from 2022.  This topic still resonates with the high sensitivity and edginess we're all dealing with between the heat of the summer, travel delays, Covid on the rise, and politically charged conventions. Throw in supercharged astrological shifts, such asMars, the planet of action or war, is next to (conjunct) Uranus - the planet of sudden change, and both are working with (trining) Pluto, the planet that digs up dirt you don't want to deal...so you're going to have to deal with uncomfortable stuff. You gotta stay centered.  And one more cosmic kicker: Mercury slows down this week, putting us in its Shadow phase before it goes full-on retrograde on August 4-27. Back up your devices, avoid new electronics purchases, triple-check travel plans and contracts, and confirm appointments. Slow down your thoughts and speech to reflect, review, and renew yourself from the inside out.  Along those lines - you can enjoy this review from 2022. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best road trips are full of unexpected adventures and memories; sometimes, those moments change your life forever.  On Sept 19th, 1961, Barney and Betty Hill went on a drive that would become one of the first known incidents of an alien abduction. Through conversation, dream analysis, and hypnosis, Barney and Betty pieced together their experience, which eventually became a book, The Interrupted Journey, detailing their claims. Today's episode centers on this historical event and is part one of our two-part series, in which we dive deeper (or should we say, beam up higher) into what we currently know about aliens and those who have traveled alongside them.  Because Earth School is hard, and sometimes boring, without a little extraterrestrial meddling...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Near Death Experiences, or NDE for short, are a consistent topic of fascination for our listeners (and us too!). When you've had a NDE, it can be difficult to process, let alone speak about. But that's what we do today as we are blessed with the story of not one, but the TWO NDE's Debra Prum wrote an article about. By sharing her story, Debra allows us to talk about the brevity and beauty of Earth School, the messages that can be found through having a NDE, how death is not 'the end', and what it means to "no longer be afraid." Because Earth school is hard, without the ability to accept Brenda's challenge to live in an inspired way, every day.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can you, or should you, interfere with someone's karma? When you're witnessing or have knowledge of information you feel someone should be privy to, should you speak up, or not?  Inspired by listener Jessie Cat's inquiry, would spirit prefer we stand for what is right? But, of course, what's right or wrong is subjective. Ego, status, and the urge to be 'in the know' can pull us to places we should be hesitant to go. Join us as Julie opens up about a personal experience that beautifully illustrates this dilemma. We also delve into the crucial factors of permission and confidence when it comes to navigating the delicate balance between helping and hindering.  Because Earth School is hard, so don't be a Gladys Kravitz mmm'kay.... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 We talk a lot about family of birth and family of choice, and one thing they both have in common is soul contracts made on the other side. But what about in-laws?

How can you manage yourself and others when family dynamics are upsetting? Today, we'll discuss how to set intentions that foster positive engagement, ways (and why) to avoid victimhood, when to let the emotions around a situation go, what it feels like to meet a sister from another mister, and how to support your spouse / beloved best as they navigate complicated familial relationships. Because Earth School is hard, without the elegant impact you can have during the difficult times of your Earth School journey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
