Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

In this Akashic Records meditation, we'll carve out sacred time to slow down, retreat from the external world, and return home to your natural inner rhythm. In our modern, fast-moving, often chaotic world, we've gotten lost in the weeds of external noise & chatter & endless stimuli... which also means we've disconnected from the pace of nature and from our own natural, healthy, aligned, inner rhythms. In this guided Akashic Records experience, we'll slow everything down so your body, cells, mind, and Spirit can be restored, refreshed, and inevitably find their way back to balance and wholeness. Join me for this profound journey where you'll receive healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source). Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation: make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers set an intention to leave mental chatt

What's really happening during a spiritual crisis, and what is "ego death"? In this second installment of my "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis" series, we'll explore: what is the spiritual crisis or spiritual awakening? how the spiritual crisis tends to dissolve or break apart the ego, and how this can feel as you're going through it the problem of ego identification: when you feel & believe you ARE your ego, and nothing more why we resist or get stuck in the process of ego death the psychospiritual practice of dis-identifying from ego as a form of powerful self-liberation allowing & welcoming ego death to happen, so you can re-align with your most authentic Self (and get out of suffering)   In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".  Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home. It's a powerful opportuni

Welcome to your Akashic Records Guidance & Forecast for June 2026! We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month. The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work. For our June energy forecast, I did just this: combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities. Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and randomly pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts: overview of incoming energy in June what are we letting go of in June? what are we stepping into in June? Akashic Records messag

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners who completed my Akashic Records Certification Program to explore how working with the Records has transformed their lives. We discuss topics such as: what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call) the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker   In this episode, I speak with Erin Heisel, PhD, a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner (through my Certification Program), coach, writer, and founder of Aligned Insight C

What is the spiritual crisis or "dark night of the Soul" - and are you in one right now? (If you are, you're not alone.) Some aspects of the spiritual crisis can include: connecting to dimensions, experiences, realities beyond the 3D, linear, human dimension - can include connecting to "invisible" beings such as Spirit Guides, angels, archangels, ascended masters, mythological figures, etc feeling like you're moving beyond the "world of material things" shifting your orientation from a horizontal perspective (ego-to-ego) to a vertical one (connection to Divine Source) feeling like you no longer (or never) fit into the human reality all around you experiencing a dismantling or breaking apart of relationships, situations, jobs, friendships that aren't aligned with your Soul and don't fulfill you anymore undergoing a persistent questioning about "what is all this for?" or "what's my true purpose?" experiencing an identity crisis, where the old "masks" or personality aspects you used to wear no longer fit   In

Is Archangel Metatron the "overseer" or "master keeper" of the Akashic Records? What's his relationship to the Records, if any? You may have heard or read something about this at some point, so let's clarify this idea and trace it back to where it really comes from. As always, my highest intention is to provide you with grounded, ethical, clear, and transformative ways to understand and USE the Akashic Records for your evolution. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll address: who Metatron is and how he is defined in Jewish mysticism (i.e., the source traditions from where he originates) Metatron's role as a "heavenly scribe"... and how this got linked to the Akashic Records the concept of Metatron's Cube the origin of the Akashic Records (as an idea) in 19th-century Theosophical thought how New Age lore, channeled writings, and Angel decks & books fused Metatron with the Akashic Records over time the importance and validity of YOUR actual, unique, embodied experience in the Records... which may include co

This is a follow-up to bonus episode "Can we keep the Akashic Records open ALL of the time?" In that previous video, we explored whether it's possible to keep the Akashic Records open all of the time, 24/7... and some of my suggestions for doing so. In this follow-up, I address a few subscribers' questions to explore: what's the value and use of a portal (opening) prayer or method to intentionally open & access the Akashic Records? the multiple functions of an opening prayer or method how the Akashic Records help you transcend ego and become a clear channel for Divine guidance the importance of recognizing our own blindspots and ego interference when working with the Records (especially if we're serving clients) how the Akashic Records help you stay connected to Divine Source at all times, as you move through your day   Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

The Akashic Records are a direct line to Divine Source and a powerful field of healing, light, and unconditional Love. Unlike our human relationships, the Records are unlimited, free of ego, free of personal agendas or attachments... and they love each of us unconditionally. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore the key differences between human relationships (which tend to be conditional, limited, or based on meeting certain demands or expectations) versus the eternally loving, supportive, healing relationship you can develop with the Akashic Records. I also share some client experiences related to healing attachment wounds in the Records, due to the Records' expansive and unconditional nature.

Often unknowingly, many Akashic Record readers and practitioners are breaking ethical guidelines and perpetuating harmful power dynamics in the reader-client relationship. This is not only harmful to the people we're here to serve, but also prevents readers and healers from doing the highest-level, transformative, impactful work they're really here to do. Let's change this! I believe strongly in RAISING the standards of ethics and professionalism in our spiritual and healing communities, so we can do better both for ourselves and for our clients.  Join me for this discussion on: dismantling old, harmful power dynamics between reader and client reclaiming your power and inner knowing, even when working with a healer honoring the healers, readers, and lightworkers who ARE putting in the ongoing work to be the best, most effective, most ethical practitioners they can be (and who truly care!) 4 specific ethical guidelines that Akashic Record readers will (often unknowingly) break, and what to do instead how we c
