Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

Listen to this podcast/masterclass if you can read energy clearly for other people, but when it comes to your own life, your intuition feels confusing or quiet. In this episode, I break down why this happens and why it has nothing to do with your gifts or ability. This isn’t an intuition problem. It’s a self-trust and worthiness pattern. We talk about how ego interferes with intuitive clarity, why yes/no questions keep you stuck, and how to ask better questions so your intuition can actually guide your decisions. If you’ve ever felt like your intuition works for everyone but you, this episode will bring clarity. Work with me HERE... Stop trying to be spiritual. ❤️

If you have experienced deep rejection, isolation, or pain, especially early in life, this episode is for you. Many healers and intuitives are forged through hardship, not because something went wrong, but because their soul required it. Rejection is not punishment. It is initiation. Feeling blocked or off path is often the very thing pushing you back toward your purpose. In this episode, I share: Why healers and intuitives often experience rejection and isolation How pain becomes the medicine that awakens you Why spiritual awakenings require identity death and ego dismantling The reason relationships and old versions of you fall away before alignment arrives How your hardship is redirecting you toward your soul’s path If you are in the middle of a spiritual awakening that feels confusing, heavy, or lonely, you are not broken. You are being forged. Your pain has meaning. And it is leading you home. My intuitive led courses are 25 percent off through the Solstice on 12/21 HERE One to one mentorship and healer pathways are also open HERE Stop trying to be spiritual.

If your intuition feels unclear or hard to trust, this episode shows you the real reason: the conversations you’re avoiding, the boundaries you’re crossing, and the patterns you’re still repeating in your daily life. I break down: Why your self-betrayal becomes intuitive confusion How the “good girl / martyr” identity blocks spirit connection Why retreats + readings spark awakening but don’t sustain it How to become the intuitive in your actual life, not just in meditation The exact moment your psychic abilities start to feel clear If your spiritual awakening isn’t “working yet,” it’s still working on you. This episode will help you shift from surface-level spirituality into embodied, trustworthy intuition. Courses + Mentorship Mentioned: • How to Actually Change Your Life (identity + embodiment work) • Awaken (psychic abilities + spirit guides) • 3–12 Month Intuitive Mentorship- 2 spots left If this episode hit you, follow, share, and leave a review — it truly helps the show grow.

I’m sharing a channeled collective oracle reading using the Angel Guide Oracle, and the cards that came through: Spiritual Growth, Clear Cancel and Release, Do the Work, Listen Deeply, and Take Charge and Action all tell a very clear story. Right now, many people are experiencing spiritual expansion and contraction at the same time. There is confusion, identity shedding, nervous system quivering, and the sense that something new is trying to be born through you. This episode walks you through what that actually means, why it feels so intense, what you’re being asked to release, and how to move forward when you don’t know what you’re doing yet. I talk about the real process of spiritual growth. The part no one prepares you for. The part where old beliefs fall apart, your sense of self shifts, your intuition whispers instead of shouts, and you’re asked to act before you feel ready. If you’ve been asking spirit for clarity, this will help you understand what’s unfolding and how to work with it rather than fight it. Use this episode as a meditation point, a grounding space, and a reminder that nothing about your awakening is random. You’re being asked to trust yourself, clear what is no longer yours, and take small, grounded action toward the identity your soul is trying to grow you into.

It is your ability to see energy, symbolism, memory, and intuitive truth through your inner vision. But when clairvoyance is ungrounded, it can feel confusing, overwhelming, and impossible to trust. In this episode I walk you through why your clairvoyance might feel chaotic, why you see random faces or intense imagery, and how much of what you perceive is shaped by your beliefs, fears, and unprocessed emotional energy. I share the real reason your psychic vision can shift so dramatically and why grounding and integration matter more than simply trying to “open your third eye.” You will learn how to create an energetic viewing screen so your clairvoyance becomes stable, clear, and functional instead of scattered and frightening. I explain how to differentiate symbolic images from actual intuitive information, how to work with your imagination in a grounded way, and why developing boundaries with spirit actually strengthens your gifts rather than limiting them. If you want to deepen your clairvoyance without fear and begin receiving messages that are aligned, compassionate, and clear, this episode will help you understand the inner work that makes your psychic vision trustworthy. For deeper development, you can explore my Spirit Connector sessions, the Awaken course, or apply for Mentorship. Thank you for being here and for sharing your time with me. Until next time, stop trying to be spiritual.

In this episode I break down what psychic abilities actually are and how to recognize the ones you already have.

In this episode, I share how to stop treating your intuition like a magic eight ball and start living from it as a natural, effortless part of who you are. You’ll learn why intuitive trust isn’t something you “turn on” when you need answers, but a frequency you build through daily devotion and connection to your soul. I talk about the difference between using your intuition to get guidance and living as the intuitive woman you already are. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your intuition, unsure if you’re “doing it right,” or only check in when you have big decisions to make, this episode will show you how to embody intuitive living every day. I also share how this simple shift transforms your relationship with Spirit, your energy, and your sense of inner peace, so that intuition becomes second nature.

If you’ve ever wondered why your intuition feels confusing, unpredictable, or even draining; You may be an empath who hasn’t learned what your own energy feels like yet. In this episode, I walk you through what it really means to be an empath, why it can make your psychic abilities feel unreliable, and how to start regulating your energy so you can finally trust your intuition again. I share what it was like when I was first opening up my gifts. How I used to feel other people’s emotions and physical pain and what finally helped me stop absorbing energy that wasn’t mine. We’ll talk about the difference between emotional and physical empathy, the link between empathy and childhood safety patterns, and how to shift from being consumed by energy to actually working with it. If you’re tired of feeling like your sensitivity is a curse, this episode will help you see it for what it really is a pathway to your deepest intuitive power. I also share how I teach this work inside my: How to Change Your Life course, where I show you how to clear, hold, and balance your energy so your intuition can guide you with clarity and confidence.

If you’re someone who gives intuitive or psychic readings or wants to; This episode is essential. I’m sharing what completely changed my confidence, accuracy, and connection when I started reading for clients… and it wasn’t another training or tool. It was my inner child. I used to spiral before every session. What if I get it wrong? What if I don’t get anything? What if they don’t understand me? I thought I just needed to get better at reading… but what I really needed was to meet the part of me that was scared to be seen, scared to be wrong, and scared to be magical. In this episode, we dive deep into: – How your inner child affects your clarity as a reader – What to do before every session to feel grounded and expansive – Why your nervous system is the missing key to connection – How I accidentally blocked clients from booking because of self-doubt – Symbolic inner child work to build confidence and trust – What I did every day to go from self-doubt to soul-trust If you’re ready to feel clear, grounded, and powerful in your readings, this episode will show you how to reconnect with the part of you that always knew.

If your intuition feels foggy, your channel feels blocked, or your readings feel "off" you’re probably bypassing the work or need to double down on it; That will truly change everything. In this episode, I’m sharing why inner child and shadow work are the missing keys to unlocking your clearest, most trustworthy psychic abilities. These gifts do not turn off; they just get flipped on their heads. Your clairvoyance becomes fear. Your clairsentience becomes overwhelm. Your clairaudience turns into mental noise. We talk about: Why your psychic abilities must be grounded in nervous system safety The connection between fear, trauma, and your energetic filter How shadow work reveals where your light has been misdirected The daily energetic check-in I do to tune my “channel” A story about my clairvoyant husband and what happened when he hit a spiritual wall The dangerous side of spiritual gifts without deep self-connection This is a transmission straight from my guides to your spirit.

If you've ever felt like you're not receiving anything from your intuition; like you're trying to hear your spirit guides, channel the Akashic Records, or connect psychically and it’s just… crickets. This episode is for you. This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today. But after a mentorship session, I had to hit record and speak straight to you all. Because the truth is: the reason you think you're blocked isn't because you're not intuitive it's because you're being way too serious about it. In this raw and real conversation, I walk you through: Why being “stuffy” is actually choking your intuitive voice How childhood patterns, trauma, and religious conditioning block your spiritual gifts The underestimated magic of play, imagination, and “BS-ing” in your spiritual practice Why your fear of being wrong is holding you back more than any actual lack of ability How ritual and subconscious reprogramming actually unlock intuitive clarity I’ll also share some reflections from my own journey and the practices that changed everything. Whether you're an intuitive beginner or a seasoned channeler, this episode will help you soften, reconnect, and flow with your gifts in a whole new way.  Reminder: You don’t need to prove your worth to receive spiritual connection. It’s already yours. You just need to stop judging what’s coming through. Let’s have more fun with it. Book a Spirit Connector Session or look out for my upcoming course if you want to go deeper. Until next time… stop trying to be spiritual

What do you do when life hits you with the kind of grief, betrayal, and shock that makes you question everything you thought you knew? In this personal episode, I share what’s been coming up for me during this current eclipse season especially around unexpected endings, betrayal, and the unraveling of relationships I thought were solid. This isn’t just about astrology (though yes, Virgo/Pisces eclipse energy is loud); it’s about the universal moments when life cracks open and forces us to decide who we’re going to be in the middle of it. I talk about:-The patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism that keep us silencing ourselves-What it means to actually move emotions through the body without intellectualizing them -How I’ve been learning to use my voice in a way that’s messy, heart-led, and true -Why boundaries are holy, and why forgiveness starts with yourself- And the power of staying steady even when everything feels unstable If you're in the middle of something right now if your world feels a little upside down this ones for you. Come float in the storm with me. You’re not alone. And even in the confusion, all is well. Let this episode be your permission to grieve, to reset, and to come back to your truth.

What happens when science meets spirit? In this conversation, I sit down with former mentorship student and nurse practitioner turned medical intuitive, Kiara Martinez Guerrero, to explore how a traumatic car accident awakened her psychic abilities and reshaped the way she approaches healing. We dive into the intersection of medical intuition, holistic health, and energy healing and how Kiara blends her medical background with her spiritual gifts to help others heal from the inside out. From autoimmune challenges to chakra balancing, she shares how trauma and emotional dysregulation can manifest in the body, and why authenticity and self-trust are the true medicine for transformation. Whether you’re navigating your own health journey, learning to trust your intuition, or curious about how spirituality integrates with healthcare, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible when you soften into your gifts and show up fully for yourself. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: How Kiara’s awakening began after her 2020 accident The link between trauma, autoimmunity, and energy imbalances Why empaths in healthcare need energy clearing & protection Practical self-care rituals for spiritual and emotional well-being The role of authenticity in deep healing and personal growth This is a powerful reminder that your body, mind, and soul are connected and when you trust yourself, healing unfolds in ways you never imagined.

This episode isn’t planned or scripted; It’s a channeled message straight from my guides for you. The message that came through? You’ve already accomplished more than you realize… but instead of celebrating, you keep rushing into the next race. That constant striving is leaving you disconnected from your joy, your body, and your intuition. My guides spoke on: Why it’s time to pause and honor how far you’ve come Rediscovering what you actually like (beyond what you were told to want) How creativity opens the doorway to intuition and spiritual connection Healing grief, shame, and self-judgment stored in the body Why your truth needs to be spoken even if it’s messy at first This is a transmission for the women who feel like they’ve “graduated” in their growth but don’t know what’s next. A reminder that the next level isn’t about perfection or control… it’s about rediscovering yourself and letting your soul lead. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t.

If your future self could sit across from you today, what would she tell you about developing your intuition, unlocking your psychic gifts, and creating a spiritual life that actually lasts? In this episode I take you deep into the long game of spiritual awakening: the consistent, integrated inner work that builds unshakable self-trust, clear intuitive guidance, and personal power over time. I share my journey from registered nurse to full-time intuitive mentor, including the breakthroughs and challenges that shaped my gifts, and the exact practices I wish I had committed to sooner. You’ll learn: • Why consistency beats intensity when growing your psychic abilities • How to integrate your intuition into daily life so it becomes second nature • The power of investing in yourself to collapse timelines and step into your next-level reality sooner • How to connect with your future self for clarity on your next steps • The hidden blocks such as grief, self-worth wounds, and ancestral patterns that silently undermine your intuitive trust  and how to heal them Whether you are just beginning your spiritual awakening or have been on the path for years, this conversation will help you stop chasing the next spiritual high and start building the kind of intuitive legacy your future self will thank you for.

If you’ve ever felt like Spirit is nudging (or shoving) you to quit your job and go full-time in your spiritual business... this episode is your permission slip to pause. I know. That’s not the popular narrative. In the spiritual community, there’s a lot of pressure to “take the leap,” trust the Universe, and walk away from anything that no longer aligns. But what happens when you leap and land in scarcity, confusion, or burnout? In today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly why I didn’t quit my job right away when I started my intuitive work and how that decision changed everything for me. We’ll talk about: The signs you are meant to do this work and how to read them with discernment Why making your nervous system feel safe is the first portal to expansion How to build your spiritual business with integrity, clarity, and actual demand The difference between spiritual knowledge and spiritual embodiment What I told Spirit that opened the door for my full-time transition (and how you can do the same) Whether you’re just starting or deep in your healing journey, I want you to feel deeply supported in building your spiritual business not pressured to bypass your real-life needs. This episode is for the intuitive woman who knows she’s meant for more… but wants to do it her way. At the end, I’ll also share how you can work with me 1:1 inside my mentorship or Spirit Connector sessions if you’re ready to clarify your voice, ground your gifts, and walk your path fully supported. More info can be found HERE

This episode is a raw one. I share what came through in a powerful mentorship session with a client who was in the thick of it: grief, confusion, doubt, body pain, and the aching sense that everything she’d been guided to do was falling apart. We’ve all been there. You follow the intuitive nudge. You leap, lean into trust. And then? It all seems to crumble. In this episode, I guide you through why this happens. The dark in-between space before the breakthrough. The part no one posts about. The identity death before the rebirth. The contractions before the expansion. We talk about: Why your body aches during big soul upgrades What to do when your intuition feels silent How to hold yourself through the void without gaslighting your grief Why expansion always requires a death of the old identity And how to choose faith anyway, even when there’s no evidence yet This is the energy of labor. The sacred contraction before you become the woman you’ve called in. You have not been led astray. You aren't wrong. You’re birthing. Hold steady. And as always… Stop trying to be spiritual Let's work 1:1 on remembering who you are, your spiritual gifts, & soul healing HERE

If I wasn't afraid to hurt your feelings, I would tell you that: your psychic abilities/ intuition and how you feel about your life is directly connected to your spiritual practice & the inner work you are doing or not doing.  In this episode, I’m sharing what actually creates powerful intuition and deep spiritual connection and it’s not more card pulls or waiting for a sign. It’s consistency. It’s self-honesty. It’s healing. I talk about my own journey of navigating fear, letting go of performing spirituality, and how everything changed when I finally committed to being with myself through meditation, shadow work, and real embodiment. If you’re ready to stop trying to look spiritual and actually start living it this conversation is for you. Here’s what we dive into: Why psychic gifts aren’t meant for performance — they’re here to help you heal How fear and avoidance keep you disconnected from your truth Why consistency in your spiritual practice matters more than chasing signs What I learned about manifestation (that no one talks about) How to reconnect with your intuition and finally feel clear Let this be your reminder: you were never meant to seek outside yourself. You’ve always had access you just have to show up for it. Work 1:1 with me here: www.lailataylor.com
