Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

Do you struggle with imposter syndrome?     This syndrome has been defined as a "persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately earned as a result of one's own efforts, talents, skills, or gifts." I would also describe imposter syndrome as an ongoing feeling or belief that you're inadequate, not worthy, not good enough, and/or a "fraud" who's about to be find out.     Living with this kind of belief or negative undercurrent in your life can be painful. It can be paralyzing. It can keep you hidden away and playing small to avoid potential rejection, criticism, or judgment.     It also keeps you on edge, hypervigilant, anxious about how others are evaluating your performance or presence in the world... or evaluating your very worth and value as a person.     I can relate, because I struggled with imposter syndrome most of my adult life. It first reared its ugly head during my academic career many years ago, and stayed with me as I transitioned out of academia to do full-

Understanding how our ego selves operate (as opposed to what it feels like when we're aligned with our Higher Selves) is ESSENTIAL on the path of spiritual growth and evolution. This episode of INNER WORK breaks down 4 key differences between your ego self and Higher Self so you can learn how to tell them apart and shift from an egoic perspective or state of being to a much higher, clearer, wiser vibration whenever you need to. Key takeaways & topics covered: Ego is the MASK you wear to survive: concerned with survival, status, appearance, how others perceive you, maintaining SAFE social standing, avoiding rejection, and staying safe in your community through conforming and not rocking the boat. Your Higher Self guides you toward highest expansion, becoming your most authentic, self-realized, joyful, peaceful, purposeful Self: focused on evolution, purpose, alignment, Soul calling, personal & collective growth, and abundance. Ego is limited to linear time & space and this ONE lifetime; Higher Sel

The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance. As their name implies, the Records "record" all of our deeds, actions, choices, etc across all dimensions of time and space.  As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.  And the best thing - EVERYONE has the Divine birthright to access and read the Akashic Records, under certain ethical guidelines and with a clean and pure intention. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore: how the Akashic Records can help you shift your perspective and shed "human density" why we sometimes believe we won't be able to access the Records, or that we don't have the necessary gifts or intuition (including the false belief that we have to be "psychic" to read the Records) overcoming the negative conditioning & limiting beliefs that prevent you from tapping as FULLY as you can into the Akashic Field reclaiming your inherent wo

Akashic Records Meditation to Melt Away Stress, Tension, and Anxiety As a tool of psychospiritual healing, the Akashic Records give us access to a dimension FAR beyond the 3D, ego-based reality we're currently living in. When we tap into the Records (or the "Akashic Field"), we're tapping into this higher dimension of Unconditional Love, Truth, Peace, and Divine Assistance. Many people report that connecting to the Records feels like "coming home." There's a sense of relief, of burdens being lifted, of being able to access a higher, broader, and wiser perspective & state of being. So, let's harness the healing power of the Akashic Records to melt away stress, tension, and anxiety. In this meditation, we'll open the Records together and do a guided practice to release tension & stress from your body and/or mind. Thank you for being here, and please share what you experience through this meditation! You can always connect by sending a note to [email protected] ******* Join my email community and g

Being spiritual doesn't mean we have to be ZEN all the time. (Thank God!) You don't have to be a doormat - or an emotionless robot - to be a deeply spiritual, evolved, awakened human. At the end of the day, spirituality can look a LOT of different ways, and you have to find your own unique expression of spirituality that feels aligned and true to YOU. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore:  genuine spirituality as being connected to your authentic Self (which might be zen but might also be boisterous, playful, emotional, sarcastic, witty, loud, or many other things at times!) being spiritual doesn't mean you have to be a doormat or have NO reactions to anything ever how your Higher Self will sometimes guide you to be LOUDER, to speak up, to be firm, to tell someone to back off, to set stronger boundaries, etc. not putting undue pressure on yourself to meet some impossible "ideal" of spirituality that's disconnected from the day-to-day realities and emotions we experience as humans giving yourself grac

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore topics such as: what is "ascension"? what does this concept mean in spiritual terms? why learning HOW to work with the Akashic Records is a healing and transformative process in & of itself the Akashic Records as a tool of ascension for these modern, chaotic times the Records as a source of unconditional Divine guidance, clarity, Truth, and Love - the frequencies we MOST need to be sustaining as humans today Watch this episode as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/w3v6bp9sf7o ******* Join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newslet

Learning to fully honor and grieve our hurts, wounds, and unhelpful patterns is SO important for genuine healing and growth. At the same time, we want to walk a fine line of not OVERLY identifying with those wounds, or feeling like our wounds are ALL that we are. (Or like we're broken, damaged, or in need of being fixed.) Let's explore this idea - and how to strike that healing, healthy balance - here on the Inner Work podcast.

In the spiritual community, we often hear that joy and happiness are our natural state of being... and that we should be joyful most, if not ALL, of the time. So... is this really true? Or are we putting too much pressure on ourselves to only feel "positive" emotions? Let's explore this question in a bonus episode of INNER REVOLUTION - a podcast series where we walk through the fire of inner transformation and awakening together.

If you're here to raise the level of consciousness on this planet, you know there's NO time to waste.   When we look out into the world, we see so much fear, conflict, noise, confusion.   People seeking to find their way back to themselves, to their higher purpose, to WHY they're really here.   People waking up and really needing support to navigate their awakening.   As Lightworkers, we're here to assist with this process of evolutionary unfolding and spiritual awakening, each of us in our own way.   We can't contribute powerfully to this collective raising of consciousness if WE ourselves are getting confused, distracted by the noise, stuck in our own heads or fear or self-doubt, or triggered by the same old patterns, people, and situations.   As a direct line to Divine Source, the Akashic Records can support us in staying connected to the LIGHT, to Higher Truth, to Higher Wisdom… at all times.   Regardless of what's going on around us, or on the news, or in the outside world.   More than ever before, we ne
