Woo Woo Wednesday

You know those moments that feel too aligned to be coincidence? That's exactly how this conversation came to be. This week I'm joined by Michael McAdams, co-author of An Angel Told Me So — a powerful collection of messages dictated directly from spirit teachers and angels through his mother over 22 years. Michael has spent a lifetime bridging the physical and spiritual realms, helping others understand how divine guidance really works. In this episode, we explore what it means to let something bigger lead you, and how guidance from your angels, spirit teachers, or higher self is never random. It's always tailored to what you can understand, receive, and act on right now. We talk about: How to recognize when your guides are communicating with you What it looks like to trust and follow divine timing in daily life Why the right messages always show up in the way you'll best receive them The difference between asking for guidance and actually being open to it Whether you're new to spiritual connection or deep on the path, this conversation will remind you that you're never navigating life alone, your team is always working behind the scenes, waiting for you to listen and this interview is proof!

You know those moments when something weirdly specific happens, a song lyric, a repeating number, a dream that feels too obvious, and your first thought is, "Wait… was that a sign?" Then your mind jumps in: "Nah, you're imagining it." This episode dives straight into that in-between space where your logical brain wants proof, but your higher self is already whispering, "Trust it." I share a personal story from a sound bath that turned into an unexpected, vivid download — and what it taught me about trusting my own connection. But more than that, this episode is an invitation to look at your own experiences differently. What if you're not making it up? What if the things that feel like "coincidences" are actually confirmations? And what if the universe has been trying to talk to you all along, you just stopped believing it could be that simple? In this episode, we'll explore: You've been getting signs or visions and wondering if they're "real" You feel a shift happening in your life and want to understand what it means You're ready to start believing your own guidance again Because maybe the magic isn't hiding. Maybe you've just been trained to dismiss it.

We all say we want more, more signs, more money, more clarity, more purpose. But when's the last time you actually followed the nudges you've already been given? In this episode, I'm talking about how guidance doesn't show up as a giant neon sign. It starts small — the gut feelings, the synchronicities, the quiet "call so-and-so," and only expands when you prove you're listening. Because if you're not acting on the little things, why would your guides hand you the big ones? You'll hear stories about ignoring (and finally following) those subtle pulls, how fear disguises itself as logic, and why your soul doesn't care about playing it safe, it cares about experiencing life fully. If you've been waiting for a big sign from the universe… this episode is it. Listen to this one if: You feel like your intuition has gone quiet You've been asking for signs or direction but not seeing them You're ready to trust yourself again and take aligned action Other episodes you might like:  269: You're Asking for Guidance, But Are You Too Busy to Hear It? 254: Signs from the Universe You're Probably Missing Let's be friends on Instagram!

We're entering an era where being too much is exactly what the world needs. For so long, fitting in meant safety, but now, authenticity is survival.  The moment you let yourself be seen as you are, you'll start attracting the people who've been waiting for someone like you to go first. Being yourself isn't the problem, or something to fear, it's the solution to your expansion. The truth is, people who aren't growing will always be uncomfortable around those who are. But your "too much" is what cuts through the noise, inspires change, and leads you to your real community. So stop editing yourself to be accepted, this world doesn't need another version, it needs the real you.

Everyone's out here trying to "find" their purpose…But what if you already know what it is? What if the thing you're here to do isn't something you have to search for, but something you're avoiding, overthinking, or trying to perfect? In this episode, I dive into a totally different way of looking at purpose, one that flips the script on the whole "find your calling" story. We'll talk about: Why you're not here to "find" your purpose. You already know it. The difference between doing it how everyone else does and doing it the way you're designed to. Why the thing you're resisting might be the very thing you're here to master. What it really means when resistance shows up as soon as you start moving toward what you love And how the moment you do the thing... your real work begins If you've been stuck trying to figure out your "next thing," this episode will help you see that maybe you've already found it, you just haven't let yourself do it yet. So go do the thing. Then notice what comes up, because that's your curriculum. Other episodes you might like:  244: Stop Overthinking!

We've officially entered the "I freaking love it" era. The time where what we create, build, and share can no longer be faked. This new wave? It's what I call the Frequency Generation. A time where people are quitting the safe and starting the passion projects. We are moving into the raw, real, "I love this so much I'd do it for free" energy. In this episode, I talk about: The difference between those who genuinely love what they do and those who don't Why frequency, intention, and energy are becoming the new form of currency The power of doing something just because you love it So what's the thing that makes you light up? The thing that makes you say, "I freaking love this"? Because that's where your magic, and your magnetism is calling you! Other episodes you might like:  240: Stuck in a Job You Hate?

If you've ever questioned whether what you do matters because it doesn't look "big" enough, this episode is for you.  We live in a world obsessed with visibility, numbers, recognition, applause. But what if your quiet, consistent effort is already making a bigger impact than you realize? Because every thought, every action, every moment you choose love over fear, it all adds up. As I near 300 episodes of Woo Woo Wednesday, I've been reflecting and it made me realize something I think we all forget: the quiet, unseen work counts. The time spent thinking, learning, journaling, processing, it all adds up. It's the deposits that create the real body of work. In this episode, I share: Why your "small" actions create massive ripple effects Why your version of impact matters just as much as anyone else's How to stop chasing visibility and start trusting your presence A powerful perspective shift from my grandpa (one of my guides) that reframed what impact really is You're not here to be another version of what already exists. You're here to be you. And the world needs that.

Have you ever wondered if you're actually being guided—or if you're just making it all up in your head? For the past couple of months, I've been unplugging from distractions and leaning deeper into what I call my "faith muscles." And here's what I realized: it wasn't that guidance wasn't there. It was that I doubted it. I questioned if I even had guidance. I worried I was bothering my guides, or that I didn't deserve support, or that maybe I was just crazy for even asking. But the truth? Guidance is always there. The signs, the nudges, the clarity, they're available in every moment. The only barrier is our own mind. In this episode of Woo Woo Wednesday, I share what I've discovered about: Why we doubt or dismiss our own guidance. The hidden beliefs that make us feel unworthy of support. How to break down the barriers between you and your higher self. A simple 3-step way to build trust in your connection. If you've ever wrestled with the question, "Am I really being guided—or am I just making this up?", this episode will help you remember what's always been true: you are never separate, and you are never unsupported.

This episode dives into the difference between the chatter of the mind and the quiet wisdom of the body. When it comes to making life decisions, the mind often screams, complains, and predicts doom, while the body just keeps moving, one step at a time. Here's what we explore: Why your mind resists while your body knows the way. How your strategy and authority in Human Design help you trust your body's truth. A practical challenge to start noticing (and trusting) what your body is telling you. If you've ever felt trapped in the noise of your mind, this conversation will help you shift back into your body, the place where your real guidance lives.

What if the moments you resist the most, sickness, setbacks, or slowdowns, are actually where the biggest lessons live? In this episode of Woo Woo Wednesday, we explore: Why your body (and life) sometimes forces you to pause. How discomfort can shift your perspective in ways comfort never will. The power of gratitude for the little things we usually overlook. Why it's often "supposed to be that way," even when your mind insists it's wrong. This isn't about doing spirituality perfectly, it's about embracing the messy, inconvenient, and unexpected as part of the plan. If you've been beating yourself up for not always getting it "right," this conversation will remind you there's wisdom in every detour. Tune in now and reframe the way you see life's disruptions.

How many times have you second-guessed yourself because your way looked completely different from everyone else's? I've lived that story most of my life, believing that if someone else had more experience, more authority, or more money, then they must be right and I must be wrong. But here's the truth: what's right for them isn't always right for you. In this episode, we'll explore: Why following someone else's path—even if it "works" for them, can leave you miserable How to recognize when you're doubting yourself just because your way looks different Real examples of trusting your gut vs. listening to the crowd And why your "weird" or "ass-backward" way might actually be the exact gift you're here to share If you've been stuck between your own inner knowing and outside pressure, this conversation is your reminder to ask the question—"Who's right, me or them?"—and start choosing yourself every time.

We tiptoe through life as if playing it safe will somehow keep us from the inevitable. But the truth? No one gets out of here alive. In this episode, I explore how facing that reality changes the way we show up, the risks we take, and the fears we let control us. If you've ever found yourself shrinking back because of judgment, failure, or fear, this conversation will help you see it from a very different lens. We'll dig into: Why "playing it safe" is actually the riskiest choice you can make Simple questions that shrink your everyday worries down to size How remembering your mortality can push you out of your comfort zone and into your life Because at the end of the day, you can tiptoe your way to the end—or you can rise the hell up and do something epic with the time you've got.

In this episode, I share a powerful conversation with a friend that cracked open the difference between genuine expansion and the distractions our mind throws in to keep us "safe." From late-night stock market deep dives to suddenly deciding to learn Spanish, her story reveals how the mind will do anything to avoid the discomfort of change. We'll dive into: Why your distractions aren't random—they're keeping you from leaving what feels safe How to spot when your mind is running the show vs. when your body is pulling you forward Why the messiness of newness is where aliveness lives My own example of what I had to leave in order to expand (yep, Instagram) Plus, I read a chapter from my book! If you've been circling the edge of something new but keep finding yourself "too distracted" to move, this episode will show you why—and what it takes to finally step into expansion.

Ever catch yourself measuring your worth against a mental checklist? The "successful" career, the perfect body, the constant productivity, the achievements that prove you're doing enough. In this episode, I share a moment that made me stop in my tracks, a simple photo that revealed how much I was still carrying around an identity built on what I thought I had to be in order to feel loved, worthy, or accepted. If you've been feeling exhausted trying to live up to an identity that doesn't even feel like you, this episode will help you loosen the grip and step into something much more real.

We all say it: "I do this because I love it." But is that actually true? Are you creating, speaking, coaching, writing, painting, because it lights you up? Or are you secretly chasing the stage, the sales, the recognition, the outcome that proves you're "good enough?" There's a huge difference between creating because you love it, and creating because you need something back. In this episode, we'll talk about how to tell the difference between what your mind says you "should" love, and what your soul actually loves. And more importantly: the thing you'd do for free, the thing you'd do even if no one ever clapped for you, might be the clearest sign of what's real. If you've ever wondered whether you're on the right path, this conversation will give you a question that cuts through all the noise: Would you do it anyway?

So many of us learned, consciously or not, that love, belonging, and recognition are earned. That we have to give something, prove something, or be something more in order to be valued. But what if that belief is exactly what's stifling your joy, blocking your impact, and keeping you from connecting in a real way? In this episode, I unpack the subtle ways conditional worth sneaks into our giving, the trap of serving from the mind instead of the heart, and what happens when you finally let yourself believe: I am enough as I am. If you've ever felt like you had to do more to be worthy, this conversation might just rewrite that belief for good.

We think staying plugged in keeps us connected, updated on what's happening, in the loop, and tuned into the people and opportunities that matter. But what if it's actually the thing keeping you distracted from the real connection that's available to you? In this episode, we'll explore what happens when you step back from the constant scroll and tap into what I call the "universal wifi"—a deeper, truer network that's always broadcasting exactly what you need to hear. If you've been feeling drained by social media, craving more meaningful synchronicities, or wondering how to strengthen your intuition, this conversation will make you want to unplug… just to see what shows up.

You're doing the work. You're showing up. You're chasing the thing you want… So why does it still feel like slamming your face into a brick wall? In this episode, I share the question that haunted me for the better part of a year, and the message that finally cracked it open. If you've ever tied your worth to your work, your income, your appearance, or your accomplishments… this one will hit deep. What if the "hard" isn't a test? What if it's a redirect? And what if you're already enough without the thing you're chasing? Other episodes you might like:  244: Stop Overthinking!

This episode is about the sneaky ways we try to stay in control, especially when it comes to the things we say we want help with. Every time I let someone lead in their zone of genius, I get incredible results. My massage therapist, my hair girl, my nail tech, even my car detailer. When I step back and let them do what they do best, magic happens. So why, when it comes to the Universe or my guides, literally the experts in divine orchestration, I suddenly think I know better? In this episode, I break down: What happens when you stop trying to call all the shots… and actually let the Universe do its thing?

You're asking for signs, looking for guidance, trying to trust your intuition… but nothing's coming through. Ever wonder why that is? In this episode, I share a personal (and uncomfortable) truth I had to face about why I wasn't hearing from my guides, and what might be blocking you too. If you've been craving clarity but feel stuck in noise, this one's for you.
