The Path of Me

Maggie Goleniak was born and raised in Poland. She has always been an artist and received her degree in Fine Art from University of Silesia in Poland. She moved to UK after graduation. After her Energy Healing Certifications her connection to the higher realms began opening up. This was the beginning of her intuitive painting.   It was difficult to paint intuitively after the structure of Art School. She encourages us all to do what we love. The energies and alignment of the New Earth doesn't support being stuck or doing things that do not align. Her paintings help and support people who buy her paintings because they speak to them. There's a feeling there, which is light encoded frequency in the paintings that people feel.  The more intuitive painting began just before 2018. We naturally live from the heart. Creativity broadens connection to ourselves. With the Pandemic, she quit her job and felt so free to pursue her love of painting. Breaking down  infrastructures during this pandemic is really creating something new. The pandemic allowed us all to connect more with ourselves. Earning and being in the hustle and striving to be on the top is no longer supported. You lose yourself in that.  Maggie teaches Intuitive art which starts with guided meditation. It's a healing session. The frequency of colors heals you. These are holistic healing sessions connecting to your inner self. She holds energy for the individuals.  It's important to clear unworthiness, things from past lives, and allow our soul to choose the path forward. She helps you go deep, recognize the programming.  People don't want to look at that.  Your higher self will push you towards your work, you are ready. It's about losing your identification with everything external.  We naturally live from the heart which is connected to the Universe and Galaxy.  We are light beings. We are upgrading our DNA coding and shifting perspectives. Our body is just the vessel for the soul.   We are creators! Spend time every day connecting to yourself, drink your tea or coffee, take a walk.  We create by holding ourselves in this now moment. It impacts how we perceive our identity with things.  We are not defined by these things. We are always whole and complete.  Go back to the breath, come back to presence.  Maggie is a guide to discover beauty and creativity within. Her sessions begin with meditation to help people connect to themselves.  Art is healing, the colors, the structure and how you paint supports you.

This rich parenting conversation talks about the value of learning to respond instead of react to your kids, the very real feelings of failing as a mom, and taking time for yourself without guilt.  We aren't taught how to hold space for ourselves or how to feel our feelings instead of suppressing feelings. It's OK for parents to ask for help.  The story as moms that "I'm not good enough" is pervasive. Learn to trust your instincts with your kids.  Her son had a tongue tie and if she hadn't followed her instincts and had corrective surgery it could have resulted in speech issues as he got older. She learned so much on her parenting journey including how to let go and the need to be right.  Krystal was a vegan and was so convinced her way was the way, but experience has taught her that it's OK to change your mind, to follow your inner guidance even if it is leading you to change your beliefs like eating a hamburger because her body craved meat protein and allowing her son and not adhering to the strict beliefs she once held.  Adaptability and flexibility allows moms not to be so hard on themselves.    Krystal is a creative writer and you can follow her blog here: https://www.TheUMom.com which stands for The Unconventional Mom. You can also follow her on Instagram @The_U_Mom and while she talks a lot about parenting it all comes back to you as a Mom to get curious and ask yourself why you are feeling coming up for you as a parent.  These could be feelings of not being good enough, failure, stress, fatigue.  Whatever it is, feel your feelings and release the judgment.  Let go of the negative self talk, and nurture yourself.  Wendy Hutchinson the show host is an Ascension Coach and owner of Alinea Life Coaching.  Sign up for her newsletter or read her blog here:  Https://www.alinealifecoaching.com Here latest book "Finding the Path of Me" is available on Amazon, and other platforms here:  https://books2read.com/finding-the-pa... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

Krystal Martinez often felt alone in her childhood.  At the age of 8 she realized she was on her own. Her Mom told her she knew she was capable and she didn't have to worry about her, which translated into basically no parenting.  She was emotionally abandoned as a child but resourceful and intelligent and figured things out.   She lived in survival mode, living an unconscious life of black out drinking.   She was really smart and high functioning and graduated from college and went on to get her Masters degree.  She was recently laid off from her job in Fundraising in higher education.  While she was studying abroad her drinking came to an abrupt halt after blacking out on a sidewalk in Spain.   She was never interested in anything spiritual as a child but she did rely on her own instincts and trust herself to survive and thrive.  In her early 20's Krystal tried a Reiki session.  Nothing much happened but she decided to go back for a second one.  Her mind  and consciousness was blown wide open.    She felt like a vortex opened and she was having like a psychedelic trip only she wasn't on drugs.  She was seeing movies in her third eye, she saw things coming at her and experiencing really wild sensory things.   She called the practitioner who explained it was the energy.  It was like a psychic light switch turned on.  From that point on she was fully psychic.  She started taking classes from her reiki instructor, but then moved onto to giving readings, doing her own free form energy work, pulling from lifetimes of memories as a healer.  She began using crystals.  All of it was just natural and organic.  She even began reading sand.    Throughout this time she was experiencing very physical loss.  Her Dad passed away at the age of 5, her Uncle who was the only father figure she had died 10 years later, then her mom had a very intense passing.  She adopted her 6 year old brother who came to live with her and she went through a deep depression.   At that time she was drinking again and her husband told her she was just checked out.   By this time she found a Marconics Energy Practitioner who sat down with her for a consult.   She wanted a recalibration right away.     During her Marconic Recalibration she had a lot of visions one of which was a baby floating above her that said "Hi Mommy!"  4 days later it was confirmed she was pregnant even though a prior test showed negative.   This expanded her consciousness even more and gave her more clarity around the work she wanted to do which was related to Ascension and keeping your vibe high!  This entire time she was shedding and releasing old programming and healing her inner wounds.    She has since started her business Grace Solutions, LLC which is a property preservation company.  She has also been creating amazing poetry which she will be publishing in the near future. #awakening   #marconics #Spiritual Awakening #ascension #emotional abandonment #Loss #Alone #psychic #Wendy Hutchinson #Alinea Life Coaching --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

I first interviewed Victor in 2019.  He had recently been released from serving time and was happy to get out!  He was in the flow and had spent the last year inside going through a massive spiritual awakening.  He was reading spiritual books and texts and absorbing information as well as getting weekly long distance Marconic energy sessions from his sister Veronica for a year.   Shortly thereafter he decided to get a Marconic Recalibration which is an energy protocol that reconnects you to your higher self.  Marconics is an ascension energy modality that helps clear karma and density and remaps your lightbody.  It pulls in multidimensional energy and it remaps your DNA.   It is a life changing experience. He was recalibrated while taking his Level 1 Marconics class to become an energy practitioner when he got out of prison.   Victor has always been an empath and energy intuitive.  From an early age his Aunt taught him how to feel energy and tune into himself.  He knew he was consciously lowering his energy frequency to run with a tough crowd in his teens.  It was during this time he started using drugs and drinking and numbing the pain of losing both his favorite aunt and grandmother in the same year.    A back injury sidelined his sports outlet so he took a turn which landed him in and out of jail for years.    Immediately after Victor's Marconics class he began the 5 hour drive home from Austin to Odessa, Texas.  Information started pouring in.  All kinds of awareness around who he is at his core and the truth around what he had been doing all these years and why.   It was overwhelming to receiving the downloads and he was just shedding all kinds of emotional stuff.  By the time he got home he was crying and when he looked in the mirror he saw his reflection and heard the truth around why he always picked women who needed to be rescued, it was because he couldn't save his grandmother and aunt from dying when he was 16.  He called his sister to ask if this was normal!  Everyone's process of shedding and releasing density and karma is unique after the recalibration, but his team was fast tracking him and bringing him online fast.   It was almost too much to handle emotionally.   He took a detour back into the only coping mechanisms he knew which were drugs and alcohol, but this time it was different.  He knew he didn't want this life anymore and he made a decision to choose a better life, to choose him!  He stopped everything and from that moment, it was like slicing through butter, life began to just flow and align.  He reconnected with himself at the Godhead, with Source and enrolled in his program at the cosmetology school to get certified in Hair.  During his time in jail he was working as a master barber cutting hair for inmates and officers and their families so he already knew what he wanted to do, he just had to get the certification.  He has since been thriving in his classes and is booked out weeks in advance.  Victor found his passion and purpose which is to just be love and spread love in the world and he is doing that by lending an ear to everyone who sits in his chair and everyone he encounters.   He has already impacted the many people he encountered while in jail from his cell mates to the many other people around him while he served time.  He noticed his vibration was changing and rising as he received weekly energy sessions from his sister Veronica and other inmates also commented on how things changed every time he was transferred to different locations to finish his sentence.  He went to the worst places where they held guys on death row, and also where they executed them.  His journey has been amazing and now he is ready to give back to the world.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

Leah Landry is a Marconics Energy Master Teacher who self healed her battle with Lyme Disease, Hashimotos, and addiction.   When she found Marconics Energy she was ready to surrender and let go of all of it.  During her Recalibration session she saw herself turning these things over and a knowing she was changing her life.  She still questioned whether it worked, but one day it dawned on her about 3 months later that she was healed.  She called her doctor and went in for a Lyme test and sure enough it was gone, like a miraculous healing.  Her doctor couldn't believe it.  Since then she has become a Marconics Master Teacher now helping others with their own spiritual ascension process.    Her work was built on trust and faith in herself through her parenting journey with both of her children and realizing she had healing abilities she couldn't explain.   She has gently guided many of her clients through her coaching, hypnotherapy and meditation to help them raise their vibrations high enough to receive the Marconics protocols.  The energy sheds and releases a lot of Karmic density so people who struggle with addiction need to raise their vibrations high enough to receive it.   Leah is truly a gift to the world offering her light and service to others while walking her own ascension path.  To learn more about her work visit her website at https://www.LeahLandry.rocks To learn more about my work visit my website: https://www.alinealifecoaching.com #Marconics #LeahLandry #ascension #5D #QuantumRecalibration #WendyHutchinson --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

In September 2019 I interviewed Victor Galindo. Our conversation was SO GOOD I wanted to post it here as a podcast.  He had an amazing childhood.  His Aunt from the age of 5 was teaching how to use energy, feel energy, and tune in.  She had a huge influence on him.  He never got in trouble, he was a great student and athlete, but when he turned 16 everything seemed to be stripped away.  He had a sports injury that kept him out of sports, his beloved grandmother died, then his favorite aunt who had taught him the ways of energy and spirit passed also.  On top of all that he went through a bad breakup with a girlfriend.   He started to party and find comfort in a different crowd.    He knew he was lowering his vibration to hang out with these guys and he chose it and witnessed a lot of intense things.   He was in and out of prison, had a son which his parents helped raise while he was incarcerated.   Going into prison he had to lower his vibration even more to survive.  It was a way of life as he navigated going in and out.   He started turning his life around getting into a sound production major in college with funding and he was completely loving his life.  He had an internship and a great attitude and he was removed from the old crowd.  Unfortunately an old charge came back around to bite him and he had to go back in and do time.   This entire time his sister Veronica who is a lightworker was talking to him sharing her spiritual knowledge, but he wasn't receptive.   At some point he went to a year long Christian based program to get clean.  There he began meditating and having visions and connecting to what he calls the UG (Ultimate God).  Through his reconnection to himself, he started to transform.  He also had this wild experience where he was at a family party totally sober and this Shaman talked to him and then touched his third eye and he had a totally radical experience.  It was like mind bending.  During one of his last stints in prison he decided it was time to change his ways.  He reached out to his sister Veronica and asked her to send him books and he started reading and studying spirituality.   He also started receiving distance Marconics energy sessions from his sister every Thursday night at 11:00 p.m.  Things started shifting.   Anyway, his story is fascinating.  TUNE IN and SHARE! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

Dr. Stella Aubert gets real and vulnerable speaking about a really difficult childhood.  It resulted in her developing an eating disorder followed by depression and her desire to heal holistically rather than through traditional western medicine.  As a baby she developed an ear infection and after one day on antibiotics she went gray and wasn't herself so her mom took her to a chiropractor who within 24 hours of being treated healed her.    This experience and monthly visits thereafter for health and wellness introduced her to the concept of holistic healing. Unfortunately, her emotions around her family dynamics and childhood went unchecked and she was diagnosed in her 20's with leukemia and given 6-8 months to live.  She was not in contact with any family members at the time, and was determined to heal herself. She had an inner knowing that her illness was the physical manifestation of unhealed emotional trauma.  She quit her job, slept like 16 hours a day, ate smoothies, and took care of herself. After she healed she realized she needed to call her mom and invited her to come spend some time with her and they ended up driving across country back home to Charleston, S.C. and had a lot of conversation and healing between them. After regrouping and working at a hotel in Charleston for awhile, she decided to pursue a career in holistic medicine.    She became a Chiropractor and worked in Portland, Oregon with the homeless on skid row.  She found that when she spent time with her clients and allowed them a safe space to tell their story, healing was happening. This is when she fully understood that healing is more than just medical, it's about healing the mind body and soul. Her work today is focused on helping people heal from all kinds of illness by working one on one with them.  You can learn more about her work at https://www.draubert.comand visit her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.StellaMic...or Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr._stella....

Goal Coach Melissa McCloud just published a book called Life Abroad detailing beautiful experiences and challenges from living abroad with a young family.  She expected change and growth but she got more than she bargained for with terrorist bombings in Sri Lanka blocks from home, a Pandemic lockdown and enforced martial law for 3 months, where she couldn't leave her building - not even to get food!  Her goal was to have her children experience real life, face adversity, grow from living in a different culture.  She didn't want their frame of reference to only be privileged white kids living in an affluent neighborhood.  She taught them how to face adversity and overcome it. Cultural immersion training did not teach her how to deal with pandemic lockdown, martial law, and terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.  She did not know you should have 1 month's supply of food at all times and how living in a caste system would create more empathy and connection for humanity.  We are all the same as humans, this belief was reinforced throughout her entire expat experience.    Melissa has had a successful career working from home and juggling kids while finding time to work out, navigate parenting challenges during the pandemic, while learning to be adaptable!  Her career as a goal coach has aligned perfectly with her desire to be in service to other women looking to live their best lives.  She went through a year long program called Lightyear Leadership while being on lockdown during the pandemic in addition to other coaching certification programs.    Sri Lanka's education system is based on a British Curriculum and system.  Kindergarten is called year 1 and it's rigorous.  Coming from the U.S. with a more casual approach to school finding the right school for the kids was challenging.  Moving to London, at least she had more options in terms of educating her children.  London required more adaptability as she learned that she was making all kinds of faux pas culturally being naturally outgoing.  They are very private people and don't share their names, which she discovered only after introducing herself to neighbors who were somewhat taken aback by her open friendly manner and personality.  Luckily she is adaptable and has settled into the English way of life.   The one thing that has helped her cope with all the stress the past few years have created has been her commitment to fitness and creating space for herself.  She focused on getting 10,000 steps a day by walking around her complex in Sri Lanka.  She woke up to take the Lightyear Leadership classes at 3:30 a.m. finding precious "me" time before her kids woke up.  The classes were based in the U.S. while she was in Sri Lanka, so the time difference required quite a commitment on her part.    Since moving to London, Melissa published a book called "Life Abroad" to document all those memories for her children.  It's available on Amazon.  She also published "What the Tuk" after the Sri Lankan bombings to give back proceeds to the community.  You can learn more about Melissa on her website:  https://www.melissamccloud.co and join her on FB, Instagram Stories. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

Relationship and Intimacy Expert Allana Pratt talked about her childhood with an abusive father and how his violence and addiction created this feeling of vulnerability and fear in her at an early age.  She had to be hyper vigilant and on point to avoid the wrath which created a need to be perfect and accepted by people in her life.  This began her life long journey of seeking approval and the relationships that mirrored to her the lesson of healing and knowing her own self worth. At a young age she dropped out of college and hitched ride on a Semi her uncle was driving down to L.A. with the dream of being a dancer.  Without a green card her only option was to accept a dancing opportunity in the Four Seasons Japan.  It was through dancing topless and sharing her feelings with her fellow French dancers of feeling a bit dirty and ashamed, they taught her that her body is a temple to be loved.  She embraced the goddess within learning to transmute that gross energy coming from the men into respect and bowing to her as she performed. She then met and married a multimillionaire and being young she found herself deferring to his knowledge, wealth and success and diminishing herself and self esteem.  She was enticed by the 5 star vacations and luxury lifestyle they had in N.Y. to stay, but ultimately had to choose herself and divorced him.   Shortly thereafter she met husband number two and the father of her son Gabriel.  She was vulnerable at the time because her mom was dying of cancer.  She had a spiritual awareness as she looked at her mom's lifeless body that she was moving through pain towards love, then 9 months later had the reverse experience with the birth of her son, experiencing pure love that switched to fear and pain wondering how she would care for this precious baby.  Her marriage fell apart shortly after turning into a 13 year custody battle where her reputation was tarnished and cost her $250,000 and losing her home.  Her ex fought dirty during the custody battle and at the end of 13 years her son made a huge show of wanting to live with his Dad.  The door was open so his father could witness the whole thing.  This left her absolutely gutted as she crumpled on the floor.   She has since done energy work and her own healing process to fully let go of her son Gabe who she hasn't had contact with in 2 years. There has been a tremendous growth in her surrender.  Since then her business has thrived as a Relationship Coach, published author of 6 books, guest appearances on major networks including coaching Leeza Gibbons on Dancing with the Stars. She is currently creating a relationship app called Heart Mates where you become the ONE to attract the ONE and made a bold decision to go to India for a few months to make sure the app is done right!

Shanti immigrated to the U.S. from Azerbaijan.  She is fluent in 4 languages, a Massage Therapist, into essential oils, an Ordained Minister, Ascension Guide, Artist, and so much more.   Her spiritual awakening began with one of her sons who had Asthma.  She was seeking healing for him and found a Reiki practitioner hoping that energy work may help him.  She was also receiving some intuitive messages but didn't know where they were coming from.   Through synchronicities of messages and events happening in her life, she began to put 2 and 2 together and realized something/someone was communicating with her and giving her guidance.   With no frame of reference, she kept asking is this a message from me?  Where is this information coming from?  For a year she was flooded with messages coming in and intuitive guidance until she shut it off.  It was too much.   She was very into essential oils and thought about how she could combine them with a healing modality and one day it came to her to become a massage therapist.  She could combine two things she was passionate about and thus began her massage therapy career.   After massage school she began to open up more and receive more intuitive guidance.  She then found Marconics Energy work (learn more at www.marconics.com) and became a Marconics Energy Practitioner.  Prior to signing up for her training she received a message from the Pleidians.  She had to go to google to figure out who they were and who she was communicating with.    As her connection to herself strengthened, she began communicating with Source energy.  She would go down to the beach in winter and data stream messages and type on her phone.  This place of pure connection to source energy (GOD) led her to write/publish 2 books.  Purchase her book,"I AM Messages to Humanity" on Amazon.   Sit back, relax and enjoy this great conversation! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson/support

Elizabeth DiPace is a the CoFounder of Al Rod Studio Events, but she is also a close friend of mine.  She has been walking beside me on this ascension path for years.  The journey she shares here is so rich in content around our spiritual ascension.   We talk about healing, loving ourselves, the journey of expanded consciousness, and multidimensional topics.   She has had an incredible life that has led her to sell everything and move into an RV traveling the country with her husband Al.  Their RV journey began with a trip to Burning Man in 2016 that introduced them to being in a camper.   We talk about healing trauma, following our intuition, learning our soul lessons, and releasing trauma.  We talk about your DNA, your imprints, and the event horizon.  We cover energy alchemy and mastering ourselves.  This conversation was longer than my standard interviews because we're great friends and our discussion ran over.  This one was recorded in 2020 and I've been converting those shows to air on my podcast here.  If you are at all walking some sort of spiritual path or trying to find yourself and figure out who you are, this conversation is rich in thought provoking information.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
