In this episode Denise and Samantha discuss some of the road blocks and excuses that may be holding you back from going after what you really want or are being called to do. So many of us may hesitate to fully step onto our path due to fear, not knowing what to expect, comparing ourselves to others and a host of other reasons or excuses we may convince ourselves are true. Please join us as we discuss these often self induced limitations but also give some great tips for how to break free and start moving forward towards your goals! (This was based on an article found on www.developgoodhabits.com)

Please join Denise and Samantha as they discuss Niksen, the Dutch concept of doing nothing. Niksen is not to be confused with meditation or mindfulness but instead it is being intentional about doing absolutely nothing. The goal of Niksen is to take a step back from whatever you are doing and just let everything be as it is without actually being an active participant. It’s much harder than it sounds! Ideally, practicing Niksen allows the mind to wander as in daydreaming, which in turn can lead to enhanced creativity, productivity and a less judgmental, calmer approach to life!

Please join Samantha and Denise as they discuss wishes, resolutions and goals! If you’re ready to start moving forward but may need a bit of a nudge with your manifesting, try applying the STAR acronym: Surrender-Trust-Act-Receive. Using these 4 steps can help you stay the course and get closer to what you truly are ready to bring in to your life during this new year!

Please join us as we talk about the upcoming energies, numerology and touches of astrology to begin the new year. It’s been quite the year but rather than looking back over our shoulders, let’s look forward together with hope, grace and unity!

In this episode we are sharing stories of kindness, love and generosity. Earth Angels seem to show up unexpectedly when we most need support, encouragement and a helping hand. Please join us today as we share some inspiring stories of people who were blessed with a visit from a true Earth Angel!

Toxic Positivity is forcing yourself – or others – to feel happy even when you’re not. It can present when someone pushes inauthentic happiness on you with undue optimism or cheeriness that may not feel supportive for what you are going through. This can lead to feeling numb, tuned out, or even wanting to turn off needed emotions. The other form of toxic positivity can be self inflicted. You may tell yourself to be strong, to get through a situation, or that it isn’t a big deal because in reality it’s easier than being inundated with overwhelmingly raw or heavy emotions. Psychologygroup.com identified these signs of Personal Toxic Positivity: * Hiding/Masking your true feelings* Trying to “just get on with it” by stuffing/dismissing an emotion(s)* Feeling guilty for feeling what you feel* Minimizing other people’s experiences with “feel good” quotes or statements* Trying to give someone perspective (e.g., “it could be worse”) instead of validating theiremotional experience* Shaming or chastising others for expressing frustration or anything other than positivity* Brushing off things that are bothering you with a “It is what it is”. Please join us for this episode as we explore toxic positivity, how it impacts us as empaths and things we can try to do to avoid this emotional trap!

This week’s episode is a continuation of our discussion on dreams. Last week we talked about different kinds of dreams, how to incite or remember dreams more readily, and the universal connection with symbolism and archetypes found in dreams. Up to 80% of people have reported having dreams that came to fruition at a later date. Are they all premonitions or are some precognitive or self fulfilling prophecies? Join us today as we explain different aspects of dreams as premonitions, share some amazing stories and take a deeper dive into the subconscious!

We all have the ability to make a stronger connection with our inner knowing and subconscious through our nightly journeys into the dream world. In this episode we are discussing types of dreams, universal symbolism, and ways to develop skills to increase remembering your dreams and maybe even getting insight into your life and relationships. Although your own interpretation is the best when it comes to deciphering the meanings of dreams, a great reference book based on Edgar Cayce’s lifetime of work is: Dream Images and Symbols: A Dictionary by Kevin Todeschi
