Conversations with Friends: Fall Update!
Nov 04, 2024
Please join Samantha and Denise as they chat about outlooks, ideas, changes and shifts happening in their lives and in the collective. They also share an indepth analysis of a listener’s question which may be helpful for you as well!
Join us in another spooky episode as we explore the themes of fear and the supernatural through a series of chilling stories but also a touching ghost story about a little girl named Katie Elizabeth. Samantha and Denise delve into the unsettling encounters with black-eyed kids and shadow people, the mysterious dark watchers of California, a notorious exorcism case plus murder trials, alien abductions and the legendary Casket Girls of New Orleans.
Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, it’s always a good idea to remember the importance of respecting spirits and the emotional connections we all have with the unseen world. Happy Spooky Season!
In honor of spooky season, join us as we discuss the history, use and some scary stories associated with Ouija Boards! The Ouija board, also known as a “spirit board” or “talking board,” is a device originally introduced as a parlor game in the late 19th century but it has evolved into a cultural phenomenon associated with spiritualism, the occult, and supernatural encounters.
Some people have a deep fear of using the Ouija board as they see it as an avenue to opening up to negative energies and malevolent spirits. Others see it as just another divination tool to try to connect with loved ones in Spirit. As with any tool or technique we use to gain more insight, setting a clear intention and asking for only the highest and best to come through is a good rule of practice.

Samantha’s latest book, Heavenly Alliance, comes out next week. To order: https://amzn.to/3BpT3DU
Have you ever felt such a strong attraction to someone and felt that you’ve known them forever even though you just met? In this episode, we are discussing karmic relationships, the spiritual connections formed as part of our soul’s journey toward growth and the resolution of past karmic debts.
Karmic relationships were orchestrated in your soul plan so that you and this person could heal karma from past lives OR use your connection to teach one another important life lessons for growth and healing.
The concept of karma, deeply embedded in Eastern philosophies like Hinduism and Buddhism, refers to the law of cause and effect, suggesting that our thoughts, actions, and intentions in one life have consequences that may carry over into future lives. In the context of relationships, karma is seen as a spiritual agreement between souls to come together again in a new life to resolve unresolved emotions or patterns. This is often why karmic relationships are marked by intense emotional reactions, both positive and negative, and why they can feel like a deep, unexplainable connection even if they are unhealthy or toxic.

Genealogy and Ancestral Healing?
Aug 12, 2024
Is it you? Are you the one who came to break the cycles and release the generational trauma? Have you ever looked at your family of origin and questioned how or why you would have chosen those dynamics and lessons?
Please join Samantha and Denise as they discuss various ways to use a study of genealogy, mediumship and ancestral healing to help you break those cycles by honoring your loved ones in Spirit but also yourself.
Before we can even attempt to release generational trauma and do the healing work that impacts past generations as well as future, we need to acknowledge and get to know our ancestors.
What if we could use mediumship to connect to the true essence of who our ancestors were as people, as parents, as siblings, as human beings? This is where the true healing can begin, and the shifts can take place.

But How Do I Love Myself?
Jul 08, 2024
For many empaths, self-love may not come easily but it also may feel confusing as to what it actually means to practice self-love. Is it somehow selfish or self-serving? Does it mean taking away from others if we focus on loving ourselves? Please join us as we talk about what self-love really means and how to start a daily practice in your own life!
Self-love is the deepest form of self-acceptance; treating yourself with the same kindness, respect and understanding usually reserved for others. If you find yourself to be highly self-critical, are a people pleaser, or struggle with never feeling like what you do is good enough, learning self-love is a beautiful place to start to heal, set appropriate boundaries and create healthier relationships.
In last week’s episode, we talked about how to embrace success without feeling guilty. Today we’re going to take it to the next level and discuss how feeling worthy is the foundation for not only success but also for being able to live the life we truly came here to experience.
Much of this episode is based on the NY Times Bestseller by Jamie Kern Lima: Worthy: How to Believe You are Enough and Transform Your Life.
In her book, Lima states: “Self-doubt, unworthiness, and fear cause us to dim our soul’s light. And start playing it safe. Holding back. Hiding. Speaking only part of our truth. Living only half of our life. Expressing only part of our soul’s true essence. Craving the perception of belonging over authentic connection. Craving validation and significance in a way that’s defined externally Because we start to believe that these are the only paths to love, to belonging , to worthiness.”
Please join Samantha and Denise as they discuss how to embrace worthiness in your own life!

It’s time for our monthly share of stories, comments and questions from our Enlightened Empaths community of listeners! If you’d ever like to share, please send us an email: enlightenedempaths@gmail.com
Remember the trendy book about identifying your love language? Just as people have diverse communication styles and ways to profess their love for someone, we also exhibit distinct responses to stress, which can be termed as our “stress language.” This includes how you perceive, interpret, and respond to stressors and comprises emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological components which all reflect your unique coping mechanisms and vulnerabilities.
As empaths, many of us are very susceptible to stress, sometimes ours and sometimes that which we pick up from others and the environment. Through self-awareness, reflection, and targeted interventions, individuals can cultivate resilience and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and adaptability. Embracing one’s stress language empowers individuals to not only cope with stress but also thrive amidst adversity, fostering holistic well-being and personal growth.
According to Chantel Donnelly, therapist and stress researcher, there are 5 stress languages:
The Imploder: This is a “freeze” response to a stressful situation. The imploder may feel hopeless, helpless and paralyzed.
The Exploder: This is a “fight or flight” response to a stressful situation. This person may have an inflated reaction to a stressful situation; they might get irritable, frustrated or angry, or even leave a situation that they can’t handle.
The Fixer: This reaction is typically how women express a stress response. This can look like appeasement, people pleasing, overstepping boundaries and even “mothering” people who aren’t your kids.
The Number: As in, a person who numbs themself to the outside world when things aren’t going well. This person usually uses escapism ― such as drugs, alcohol, online gaming, overworking or overexercising ― as a coping mechanism for stress.
The Denier: This is someone who possesses toxic positivity in response to stress and can be overly optimistic to avoid reality.
As always thank you for being part of our community of listeners and we hope you have a low stress week!
Micro Manifesting: Taking the First Step
Jun 03, 2024
In our last episode, we explored how to manifest what you really want to bring into your life. Now we’re going to take it a step further and talk about how to break it down into actionable steps to ensure success!
Starting small can feel futile at times when the overall goal or hope is to manifest something of greater significance. Once you identify what you really want and why you want it, you can start to take those small steps which builds confidence and momentum towards the end result.
Are You Blocking What You’re Trying to Manifest?
May 27, 2024

Share Your Light with Heather Norton of Dancing Bee Alchemy
Oct 12, 2023
Please join us in welcoming Heather Norton, earth intuitive, animal communicator, healer, and the creator of Dancing Bee Alchemy.
Heather has trained in multiple shamanic lineages, studied herbalism and dreamwork. She also has a reiki master degree in the Usui lineage and holds certification in Sacred Soul Alignment energy healing.
She began her professional life as a physicist in the area of high energy theoretical physics, and went on to practice law for a number of years. Reconnecting with the earth after years of sitting in an office transformed her life and her understanding of our amazing planet. She loves learning from the plants and animals we share the earth with, and sharing that wisdom with others. She believes that connecting with earth wisdom is now more important than ever.
“The act of connecting with plant wisdom also heals the sense of isolation many of us are feeling. When I connect with a new plant, I almost always follow up with research to find out what other herbalists, healers and wise men and women around the globe have previously discovered about that plant. Remarkably, the wisdom I receive from the plants is always in line with what others have also discovered. It is truly an incredible feeling to receive a knowing from a plant or tree, only to discover through research that the knowing matches an ancient legend passed down through generations halfway across the world. In that way, connecting to earth wisdom not only connects us to earth allies, but to each other.”

The medical community continuously told her “nothing was wrong” or she was prescribed antidepressants. Eventually she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
By tuning in to her own energy field, Kim was able to see exactly what was keeping her in diminished health. She followed her own inner knowing and the illness resolved within days.
Kim’s has now dedicated her career to help shift consciousness and promote healing through MindBody Medicine and the body’s ability to heal itself.

Sep 04, 2023
Are you tired of carrying the emotions of past generations? Do you want to help heal the patterns in your family of origin? Please join us as we explore ancestral healing: what it is, how to address it and why that can be an important step in the healing journey, not only for you but for the ancestors who have come before you.
Ancestral Healing starts by looking at the shadows, wounds and unresolved traumas from our family lineage so we can begin the healing that needs to take place. Becoming more aware of what we may share with our ancestors, and recognizing the things that have been inadvertently passed down through generations, allows us to see how it all may potentially be impacting on our psychological and emotional behaviors.

July Community Connections
Jul 31, 2023
Please join Samantha and Denise as they share stories, questions and dream experiences sent in by listeners from our Enlightened Empaths community! If y ou have something you’d like to share, please send us an email: enlightenedempaths@gmail.com
Have you ever taken a walk through the woods but couldn’t stop checking behind you? Did you feel like you were being watched, or that the woods were speaking to you? If you’ve ever had an experience like this, then you have probably been around the hidden folk and nature spirits without even knowing it.
All cultures on the planet have folktales to preserve their history. Many of these include characters that are deemed as fictional by today’s standards, but are they? Or have we all become so domesticated that we are unable to connect with those that are populating this other dimension of existence?
Nature spirits are different from those we may have encountered as ancestors, guides, angels or other types of teachers. The nature spirits intentionally stand between our world and the rest of nature. These spirits can help us reconnect back into a deeper relationship with the natural world.
We often refer to there being a veil between the worlds and that it has been getting thinner and thinner in recent years. As mediums and intuitives, we know the spirit world interacts and intersects with the physical world. Please join Denise and Samantha as they explore ways to identify and interact with the Hidden Folk no matter where you live!
Conversations with Friends

Please join Samantha and Denise as they invite you to sit around the virtual table and have a chat! This episode is based on an email sent in by a member of our listening community who asks: Can you manifest something if it’s not on the blueprint of your life plan?
It’s an interesting question and brings up free will and the concept of whether you truly can change the trajectory of your life or if you’re predestined to live strictly by your life plan.
Share Your Light with Alexis McGlynn: Love Project International
Jul 13, 2023
Today I am pleased to welcome Alexis McGlynn, a Master Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Master Therapeutic Imagery Facilitor.

The hope for Project Love is that people will feel free to share their experiences with love, ultimately fostering connection, understanding and growth. No matter our differences, love is a common thread.
This episode is a follow up to last week’s, Befriending Your Shadow. Are you ready to release and heal the old shadows you may still be holding? Please join us as we share practical tips and techniques based on questions you can ask yourself on where to start!
Each chakra holds the key to different elements of shadow work. Are you struggling with setting and maintaining boundaries or have trouble trusting? Working with the root chakra can help! Do you feel ashamed, unworthy or empty? These can be shadow emotions that will be held in the solar plexus chakra.
All of the chakra work is interdependent and interconnected and yet brings us to the ultimate goal of improving our quality of life and being able to step more fully into the life we want to live!
This episode was based on an article by Aletheia Luna that was published on Wake Up World.
How would your life look if you befriended your shadow? Would it lead to more self-acceptance and better boundaries? In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain to look at that part of ourselves that holds repressed, negative emotions. During these times of transition, it is the perfect time to expose those shadows to the light of day and take away the power it may hold over our lives.
The first step in befriending your shadow is to identify it and acknowledge that it’s there. Through recognizing the triggers, the words, the situations that hold us back from expressing ourselves and living our best lives, we are able to rewrite the script to what we want our lives to look like rather than what we’ve accepted it to be.
Some shadow emotions to explore may be:
Anger
Fear
Shame
Guilt
Embarassment
Repressed Sadness
Be honest with yourself about what you’re feeling is the first step to leading a more balanced and fulfilled life. In next week’s episode, we will take this work a step further and explore how to work with the chakras system to eradicate those shadows once and for all!
Books we discussed in this episode: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. To purchase: Codependent No More Some other books on grief you may find helpful:

The information shared in this episode is based on an article written by Irina Yugay. In her writing, she states: “The state of love is one of the highest energetic frequencies we can reach for. And you can cultivate it by applying its principles in your daily life.”
The 7 Spiritual Laws of Love:
Coherence: Embracing the state that brings harmony and balance to your world.
Benevolence: Learning how to show up consciously for the love you want for yourself
Intelligence: Awakening to the consciousness of creation
Ever-Present: The essence behind all creation
Splendor: Integrating love as part of your existence
Resonance: Reaching for the higher vibrations and raising your frequency
Immanence: Welcoming love as the gift of wealth and wisdom
The more we can do to find love for ourselves and for each other, the more we can reach our goal of coming together in unity. Love truly is the answer.

Reclaiming Your Personal Power
May 01, 2023
We talk so often about taking back our personal power, but what does that even mean and where do we even start? In this episode, Denise and Samantha explore ways to reclaim your own personal power and start living with a stronger sense of self.
In this Share Your Light episode, we are thrilled to introduce you to Jody Goddard: energy healer, intuitive, medium, and wildlife volunteer. She has trained in Eden Energy Medicine, Michael D’Alton’s Bio-Energy Healing, The Duality Program with Jeffery Allen, The Silva Method as well as trainings in shamanism, mediumship and medical intuition.
Jody is a highly accomplished individual with a diverse range of skills and experiences. Jody attended the University of Calgary, where she obtained a Bachelors degree in marketing and tourism. She is passionate about travelling, nature, animals and the metaphysical.
Jody worked at several corporate gigs in the marketing field but was never very happy in that environment – her passion for travel led her to escape on a solo adventure to New Zealand and South Africa where she volunteered as a surrogate mother for orphaned baboon babies. Upon returning, she began working in corporate again, started a family and decided to try her hand at a network marketing company to be able to stay home with the kids. That never really took off but was an integral part in her journey.
After her father passed away unexpectedly in 2009, Jody was sent her on a sideways journey of connection. Many synchronicities and many different paths all converged to lead to the path of energy healing and mediumship.
In this episode, Samantha and Denise discuss the energetic shift from 3d to 5d. So many people throughout the world are feeling this shift take place in their lives and are trying to grasp how to best navigate the physical, mental and emotional impacts of what this may entail. Are we all shifting into a new, higher vibration? What does it mean to live in a 3d world versus a 5d world? Can you consciously shift into a higher vibration?
Our 3d conscious is all about duality, polarity, and individuation. Here the focus is on the material, the physical, what we can see, hold, touch and measure. In a 3d world – success is based on material wealth and accumulation. We tend to see others as separate from us and often feel a sense of isolation or lack of connection.
Often as we’re working on shifting our vibrations to a higher level, we unknowingly shift into the 4 th dimension. This is a transitory state between the 3d and 5d states of awareness. During this shifting process when you’re moving into the 4 th dimension, you might feel confused because this is the stage when the masks come off. You start to question beliefs you were raised with or ideas you’ve always had about people, yourself, and society at large. We start to see happiness and success as emotions and states of gratitude that go well beyond material and traditional ideas of achievement. In the 4 th dimension, we’re moving beyond the ego. It can be a difficult or scary transition because it’s a time of shedding the old you, dropping the illusions, leaving behind the expectations you’ve carried with you as you leave labels and goals and dreams that are no longer serving this new, more authentic you. During this time, your intuition will heighten. You will also notice more signs and synchronicities in your life.
When you finally shed all of this and shift your vibration even higher, you will move into the 5 th dimension which is a consciousness focused on unity, connection and divine love. You start to see everyone and everything as connected. You might even start to see glowing lights or auras around people, animals, trees, every living thing.
Once you’ve moved into 5d living, you’ll notice that you can manifest things much more easily and quickly. You start to become aware of your personal power and capacity to be a potent co- creator with the universe.
You also become more sensitive to energies around you. You might be able to pick up on the vibes of a place, animal or people around you. As your compassion increases and deepens so will your intuition and ability to tune into people, energy, thoughts and important messages.
You may no longer feel compelled to make a ton of money or be famous or successful. You start to redefine your definition of success and happiness. You start to care more about the earth, your body, your health and your impact on the world around you.
Ways to support yourself during this shift: Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water. Move your body more. Sit in the sun, get fresh air and exercise. Create a daily spiritual practice that helps you turn within. Make time for solitude and reflection. Trust yourself and what is coming through for you.

Share Your Light with Dr. Chesten Cantrell
Apr 06, 2023
In this episode we are excited to welcome Dr. Chesten Cantrell! (Just as a head’s up, there are a few slightly colorful words in this episode!)
Dr. Chesten Cantrell is a body worker, energy worker, and mind-body worker. As a body worker, she practices chiropractic, massage therapy, and craniosacral therapy. As an energy worker, she practices Reiki and 13th Octave LaHoChi. As a mind-body worker, she practices techniques described in her ebook “Revealing Your Diamond,” life coaching, and neurolinguistic programming.
As a child, Chesten would randomly see and hear things that she later learned were spirits. She would know random information about people around her that couldn’t be explained. When she was eleven, she purchased her first tarot deck. She did readings for friends and peers that were accurate and she had an increase in premonitions and knowledge about those around her. Her curiosity about magic, psychics, and the paranormal increased. During a séance involving two uneducated teens, she was able to connect with her Nanny who had passed and ended up accidentally leaving an open portal to the other side in her bedroom. She had frightening experiences with some beings that had come through. It wasn’t until her late teens that someone else identified and closed the portal. But the experience left her terrified of the paranormal for years.
There was a three-year time period during high school when Chesten struggled to accept her abilities. Growing up in a conservative Christian area, there were enough people around who had strong opinions about who was going to Hell. This included people who did tarot readings, saw spirits, or did anything else remotely psychic. On top of that, mental illness runs in Chesten’s family, so she became overwhelmed by the game “did that happen or am I crazy?”. The fact that her family, while accepting her gifts, had advised her as a child never to talk to anyone about this part of her didn’t help. To her, it became something to be ashamed of. So, she shut it down to the best of her abilities.
While she had closed off the psychic part of herself, her empathetic side remained and developed. From her teens onward, she would have loved ones and strangers alike open up and “spill their guts out.” There was a joke among her friends that if their quiet, reserved loved one got around Chesten, they’d open up.
During her college years, she was introduced to people who were open-minded about mystic things. She went to multiple lectures and events hosted by energy workers, psychics, and the like. She became a Master Reiki practitioner in Usui Shiki Ryoho in 2009. She was pursuing a degree in Biology at the time. Her logical and intuitive sides clashed. Watching “What the Bleep Do We Know” and its extended version helped begin a more amicable relationship between her skeptical side and her believer side.
In 2010, she attended chiropractic school. She had to shut off her intuitive side while in school because going to a body part because it felt like that’s where she needed to go wasn’t going to help her pass her courses.
From 2010-2015, tumultuous events occurred involving the death of a parent, a toxic relationship, a toxic marriage, a toxic divorce, and a failed business. Chesten moved back to her hometown in southwest Virginia feeling shattered and like she would never heal. She had lost all faith in herself. This feeling and the abusive relationship she escaped motivated her to work on herself so she would never end up in another relationship like that again.
As she worked on herself, she learned how to love, trust, respect, and have compassion for herself. She wants others to realize these truths about themselves too.
One of Chesten’s life goals is to help each person she interacts with feel and know that they are miraculous. Their existence is evidence that miracles happen. In her practice, she teaches patients that their body is their best friend and companion while they are on this earthly plane.
Another way Chesten tries to help others develop self-love and feel miraculous is through her ebook “Revealing Your Diamond.” This ebook provides methods for a person to do their own subconscious (or shadow) work. It’s an ebook she also wrote as an act of love for her teenage self because she feels like access to material like this would have put her on her life path faster and more gently.

The Language of Spirit & Signs
Apr 03, 2023
In this episode Samantha and Denise revisit common ways that those in Spirit will try to get our attention. For many of us who so very much want to hear from our loved ones who have passed, or make a connection for guidance and support, we may double guess if it’s a sign or just wishful thinking.
Have you heard your name called but no one was physically there? Are you finding coins repeatedly? Do you keep seeing number sequences or cryptic messages spelled out on license plates? We talk about these and so many other ways those in Spirit let us know they are ok and are there for us.

Neuroplasticity and the Empath’s Brain
Feb 27, 2023
In this episode, we’re discussing a bit of the brain chemistry that explains neuroplasticity but we also give some tips and techniques on how to rebuild those neural pathway for a higher quality of life.
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt due to experience. As empaths, many of us have had situations that may have left long term residual impact from trauma, being extremely sensitive, and also with needing to learn how to navigate a world that can feel very harsh at times.
The importance of neuroplasticity can’t be overstated: It means that it is possible to change dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behaving and to develop new mindsets, new memories, new skills, and new abilities. Neurogenesisis the creation of new brain cells and certain parts of the brain are capable of generating new cells throughout adult life.
Neurogenesis pretty much says that as new cells are created, they build stronger connections and have a higher likelihood of developing new neural pathways compared to older neurons. The ability of the brain to change and grow in response to experience helps people recover and overcome from severe stress and adversity–to be resilient; to bend without breaking. Depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder are often characteristic of disrupted neuroplasticity. This leads to getting stuck in neural ruts of negative thinking/feeling/behaving or fear-based memories.
We hope this information is helpful and you find some time this week to bring in some novelty or new experiences to rebuild some of your own neural pathways!
What Is Your Attachment Style?
Feb 20, 2023
Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating patterns in relationships or maybe why you react a certain way without really knowing why? Please join us today as we discuss the five attachment styles in relationships.
This attachment theory was developed by psychologists John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth more than 50 years ago and their findings still hold up today. Simplistically the theory shows that how your parents or caregivers loved you in your first 5 years played a critical role in your emotional development and continues to effect the way you relate to others on a personal level. Mary Ainsworth the sensitivity hypothesis which basically says the more responsive your mom was to you as an infant, the more secure you’ll be in your future relationships.
The five types are:
Secure Attachment
Anxious-Preoccupied
Dismissive/Avoidant
Fearful/Avoidant
Disorganized Attachment Style
Join us as we explore each type and discuss how this may be impacting you and your relationships!

Reigniting Your Creativity through The Artist’s Way
Jan 16, 2023
Please join Samantha and Denise as they discuss Julia Cameron’s iconic book The Artist’s Way. This book has had an almost cult like following for the 30 plus years since it was originally self-published. The tips and techniques are interwoven with stories and usable information to help you reconnect with your own inner creative.
There are 12 chapters to be worked through over a 12 week process. It is a wonderful journey to take as an individual, with a dear friend or in a group of people. Each week sequentially leads to the next and over the course of the program, new habits are able to emerge which support your creativity and help you learn to do what brings you joy again.
As Julia states in reference to the basic principles presented in this book:
“As you work with the tools in this book, as you undertake the weekly tasks, many changes will be set in motion. Chief among these changes will be the triggering of synchronicity: we change and the universe furthers and expands that change.”
Maybe it’s time to gift yourself with some time to nurture your own precious seed of creativity!

The Seven Rays
Jan 09, 2023
In this episode we do a bit of a dive into the 7 Rays. The Seven Rays is a concept that was popularized by esoteric teachers such as Alice Bailey and Madam Blavatsky but in fact has been around since at least the 6th century BC. It’s been taught by the Gnostics, Hindus and more recently the Theosophists.
Alice Bailey taught that each person has a soul ray that remains the same through all their incarnations, and a personality ray that is different for each incarnation. Each ray is connected to a spiritual master, a planet, a nation and different cycles. She wrote a book which divides everyone into one of these 7 rays.
Trying to cover the 7 rays in one show is impossible since it’s a really complex topic that’s been written about and taught for centuries. But we hope to at least give you a basis to begin your own research if you find this interesting. Basically each ray has its own attribute and purpose and everything that ray shines upon is effected by this attribute.
As we discussed, no ray is better or worse than another, just different, as each of us are as individuals. Here is a brief summary of each ray:
The first ray: WILL, POWER. Color: Red. Taurus and Pisces. Job/Goal: Faith in God’s will, protection. Said to represent the will of our creator.
The second ray: LOVE, WISDOM. Color: Blue. Leo and Virgo. Job/Goal: Intelligence, knowledge. This ray is about love for the creator and desire for union and being a co-creator with God.
The third ray: ADAPTABILITY, ACTIVE INTELLIGENCE. Color: Green. Gemini and Libra. Job/Goal: Discernment of spirits, creativity. This ray is about all creative endeavors that work to share God’s light.
The fourth ray: BEAUTY THROUGH HARMONY or HARMONY THROUGH CONFLICT. Color: Yellow. Scorpio and Aquarius. Job/Goal: Working of Miracles. This ray is focused on building a solid foundation so that harmony can be restored.
The fifth ray: CONCRETE KNOWLEDGE or SCIENCE. Color: Orange. Capricorn. Job/Goal: Healing. This ray is focused on using science to understand ourselves and the world we live in.
The sixth ray: DEVOTION or ABSTRACT IDEALISM. Color: Violet. Cancer and Sagittarius. Job/Goal: Interpretation of spirit. This ray concentrates on honoring our creator and seeing behind the illusion to what is real and true.
The seventh ray: ORGANIZATION, RITUAL/CEREMONIAL MAGIC. Color: Indigo. Aries. Job/Goal: Prophecy, working miracles. This ray is focused on unifying the inner and outer worlds and expressing into reality the adage “as above, so below.”
No matter what ray you may align with, please remember there is only one you in this entire vast experience and together we can find more unity and peace. For more information you may want to visit: https://sevenray.org/seven-rays/
New Year, New You!
Jan 02, 2023
Happy 2023! Please join Denise and Samantha as they talk about the numerological impact of this being a 7 year, how to best choose your personal word of the year, and how to determine what is enough for you in your life!
As we start this new year in Mercury Retrograde, what a perfect time to gift ourselves with some time of reflection and release. Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you do your end of the year review and look ahead at the year ahead.
What did I do, create or experience this year that I’m really proud of?
What mistakes did I make that taught me something? What did I learn that I can use moving forward? What didn’t go so well?
What am I willing to let go of of? This seems to be a powerful question for many of us right now, is it finally time to let go of whatever has kept you in a state of procrastination, self-recrimination, or stagnancy?
Whatever you choose to release or reevaluate in your life, perhaps this is a way to step more fully into who you are becoming. We’re wishing you an amazing year ahead…Shine Your Light, we need you!

In this Share Your Light episode, we are very blessed and excited to welcome Kara Ware. Kara is a National Board and Functional Medicine Health Coach who has spent nearly two decades healing her son of the underlying causes that create the symptoms commonly referred to as Autism. She did not accept the limiting belief there was nothing she could do for her son who looked like he was in unbearable pain. She knew there must be something she could do to help him feel better and, therefore, behave better. In times of dial-up internet and flip phones that did not text, let alone take photos and videos, she was divinely guided to learn about the sources of inflammation that were causing his pain and intolerable and terrifying Autistic behaviors and symptoms. Kara discovered there were even more underlying conditions than leaky gut, vitamin and mineral depletion, microbial overload, hormone and immune dysregulation, heavy metal and mold toxicity, and Lyme Disease.
She found her thoughts, which created her words, and then her actions, which created her habits, which created an atmosphere of healing, ultimately allowing Kara to accomplish what many still say is impossible. When her perspective changed, and her anger turned to embrace what this journey had come to teach, the healing began. She learned her son came to teach her this shift from fear to love and how to support her family to thrive in today’s environment.

Sensitivity and the Schumann Resonance
Oct 10, 2022
Today we’re talking about the Schumann Resonance – what is it and how it can help you to feel more in harmony with the energies around you. The Schumann Resonance is considered the heartbeat of the Earth that undulates in response to variances in the electromagnetic field. As there are on average 2000 lightening storms happening on the planet at any given time, the waves of these energetic frequencies impact the Schumann Resonance and thus potentially effect all of us.
Schuman Resonances can occur between 3 and 60 hz but the peaks of resonant energy average 7.83 hz which is the same frequency of of our brain when we’re in a relaxed state.
The frequency of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation that powers cell phones, radios, tvs, computers and appliances from 30,000 hz to 300 billion hz. So if the earth’s heartbeat is 7.83 hz and our relaxed brain wave pattern shows a similar 7.83 hz, but we’re constantly surrounded and bombarded with these invisible wave energy of significantly higher hz, it may leave us feeling ungrounded, stressed and anxious as well as affecting our heart rate and blood pressure.
Nasa’s studies into the Schumann Resonance have shown that cells grow faster and stronger and live longer when exposed to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields. When there are irregularities in the Schumann Resonance, there is a stronger probability of experiencing physical, psychological and behavioral issues ranging from fatigue and stomach issues to insomnia and high stress.
This is a fascinating topic and we hope you enjoy jumping down the rabbit hole with us a little bit!

Please join us in welcoming Taylor Paige, internationally recognized intuitive, celebrity angel reader and spiritual teacher! Taylor is on a mission to connect as many people as possible to the wisdom and guidance from the angelic realm.
Taylor has been aware of her psychic gifts from a very young age. Messages and information came through to her in dreams, from visible spirits around her and with strong premonitions. Having a mother who was very spiritual and an astrologer helped Taylor develop a strong passion for the spiritual arts. She has fond memories from her childhood where she would sit around the kitchen table with her mother while her mother read birth charts to her various clients.
During her readings, Taylor is able to feel the angelic energy surrounding her clients but as she has the utmost respect for free will, she doesn’t focus on predicting the future. She believes we all have the ability in each moment to create whatever life we choose, making the future very fluid. She refers to herself as a spiritual chiropractor that helps you realign with your path of highest good, wherever that may be in the moment. Her sole intention is to help her clients connect with their angels and ultimately, their highest self.

Is Soul Retrieval for You?
Jul 11, 2022
Have you ever felt like you somehow lost a piece of yourself or that there is something missing in your life? Join Samantha and Denise as they explore the fascinating topic of soul retrieval!
As empaths, emotional and physical trauma takes a deep toll on our sense of self. Many believe during these types of events, a part of our soul or essence flees the body in order to survive the experience. This essence or life force is what keeps us healthy and balanced mentally, physically and spiritually.
In psychology, this is referred to as disassociation which is seen as a break in how your mind handles information. You may feel disconnected from your thoughts, feelings, memories or surroundings. It can also affect your sense of self and your perception of time.
In bringing back that soul piece and essence, we are bringing the light back to the person. A similarity between this and traditional therapy techniques can be the rebuilding of new neural pathways in the brain and encourage new behavior patterns that help create new stories for their present and future life rather than staying stuck in repeating the stories of the trauma of the past.
Soul retrieval allows the gifts, talents, and strengths that may have been lost to return and the return of the missing piece can potentially lead with relearning how to love, trust, be creative, be joyful, to feel whole and connected with oneself again.
Books mentioned in this episode:
Soul Retrieval : Mending the Fragmented Self by Sandra Ingerman
Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval by Alberto Villoldo
The Foundation for Shamanic Studies : www.shamanism.org has many resources and is based on the work of Michael Harner. There is also a list of certified shamanic practitioners listed on this site

You can also find any and all information about the human experience and even undiscovered knowledge.

If you find yourself repeating old patterns, longing for something you feel is missing in your life, having a sense of imbalance or questioning how you relate to others and they to you, please join us for this interesting conversation about what you may find in your own Akashic Records!
To preorder Samantha’s book which will be coming out September 1, 2022: Please visit any major bookseller or your local bookstore.

In this episode, Samantha and Denise explore how each of you best utilize your own unique blueprint of receiving energy and input from Spirit and how this can improve your own intuition as well!
By learning to further develop our physical and emotional senses, we are able to raise our connection to a higher spiritual level. There are several ‘claires’ that we can all use to process incoming energies. One is no better or stronger than another, it truly does depend on how you’re wired.
Claircognizance: Clear Knowing happens when Information or insight comes through without having read or been told about it and even without having any prior knowledge of the topic being discussed. This clear knowing may present as something real or feel like a premonition of something coming up. The problem is you don’t have anything to confirm why you know it. A lot of times people with strong claircognizance will say something along the lines of: “I don’t know how I know, I just know.”
Clairsentience: Clear Feeling is most often attributed to a connection with the solar plexus chakra, many mediums will experience clear sensing or feeling with their whole body. An easy way to remember this is to think of a situation when you had butterflies or got a pit in your stomach. Clairsentience may present as a gut feeling or you may get a physical sensation in a specific part of your body. Easy ways to identify this in your everyday life are a feeling of discomfort or unease around certain people, feeling overly sensitive or overwhelmed in large crowds or places with intense energy, being able to walk into a room and feel if there is a mood of relaxation or tension.
Clairvoyance: Clear Seeing is the ability to see images in the mind’s eye. Though it’s similar to using the imagination, clairvoyance is being able to actually see those who are in spirit. There are two types of clairvoyance: objective clairvoyance is the ability to actually see discarnate spirit in your physical environment. Subjective clairvoyance is an image projected from those in spirit to your own mind. Most of us use subjective clairvoyance all the time, right now you can picture a banana in your mind’s eye. You are using your third eye or brow chakra to see the image as if it’s projected on a blank screen. Some clairvoyants will see images present like a movie in their mind’s eye. Others see still shots that may seem more like the thought of an image. You may see colors, orbs, twinkling lights, a glow around someone, or get brief flashes of a picture or image.
Clairaudience: Clear Hearing is the ability to perceive sounds or words from those in spirit. Some mediums hear the actual voices as if they are actually hearing the tone, accent and verbal mannerisms of someone talking. This is objective clairaudience whereas subjective clairaudience is hearing the words or phrases internally as if they are your own thoughts which makes it difficult sometimes to know if it is coming to you or from your own internal dialogue. You may hear music, sounds, names, dates, addresses and so much more when you are utilizing clairaudience. If you’re not hearing it clearly or it seems a bit faint, you may have luck asking the discarnate spirit to repeat it, say it more clearly or give it to you in another manner.
Clairgustance: Clear Tasting is another one of the lesser known and least common of the ways most of us perceive spirit. Mediums who receive messages through this modality may suddenly get a specific taste, flavor, texture or oral sensation. Some medical mediums have been known to use clairgustance as a way to detect a nutritional deficit or health problem someone is experiencing.
Clairalience: Clear Smelling is when you smell things that are not physically present in your environment. Scent has an amazing way of bringing up emotions and memories. It may be someone’s signature perfume or aftershave, cigarette smoke, baking bread or the smell of the ocean even though you are nowhere near any coastline. Often clairaliance is associated with a specific person in spirit and they will use it as a type of calling card to let you know that they are around
Clairempathy: Clear Emotion is experienced as a deep innate empathy for all living things. People who experience empathy understand the pain, emotions, or feelings someone or something is experiencing. Those who are empaths and have strong levels of clairempathy, take it to the next level and symbiotically feel what the person is experiencing.
Clairtangency:Clear Touch (Psychometry) is the ability to hold an object and receive intuitive input about the person, circumstances or situations associated with it. The information may come through in connection with one of the other ‘claires’.
Each of us usually have one of these areas that come most naturally to us but we are never limited to that being our only way of discerning energies and connection with those in Spirit, be they people, animals, guides, those from the angelic realm or our guides.

In this Share Your Light bonus episode, we welcome Rod Bice of 2 Crazy Crystal Guys!
Rod grew up in Florida with his mother’s six siblings and several cousins, a grandmother who was half Seminole Indian and half English, and a German grandfather. While growing up, Rod was seeing spirits and knowing things without understanding where the information came from or why others were not having the same experiences. He believes some of his mother’s family were intuitive, but that was never discussed. While Rod continued having these experiences, he never talked about them. This eventually led Rod into a dark space that later resulted in a near death experience.
After his near death experience, Rod knew he could not continue to ignore his gifts and must start learning how to live with these experiences and how to use them for the greatest good for all. He now uses his gifts to provide clarity for those in need. As part of this journey Rod began learning about crystals and how to use them as a tool for protection, manifesting, strength, courage and so much more. This led to a love and passion for crystals that he wanted to share.
Rod has been with his husband, David, an amazing teacher, for 19 years. He has two successful kids, Ryan and Emily. In December 2021, Rod made the decision with the support of his husband to follow his heart and share his love of crystals with others. He opened 2 Crazy Crystal Guys to help others find the right crystals for them, to provide education about crystals and to develop a community of like-minded people. Each month the number of people the shop reaches continues to grow. 2 Crazy Crystal Guys is a complete metaphysical shop with workshops and community groups.
Rod also obtained a Master’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration. He has been in hospital and corporate executive roles for more than 20 years.

The Impact of Trauma on an Empath
Mar 14, 2022
In today’s episode, Samantha and Denise discuss the physical, emotional, and spiritual impacts of trauma. As empaths we tend to feel things on such a deep and visceral level, the short and long term effects of trauma are no exception.
According to Dr. Rochelle Suri, in an article found on Strengthtoheal.org, all causes of trauma have three aspects in common:
An external cause: It is believed trauma is inflicted from someone or something else, not self generated. There is often a suddenness and unpredictability of the situation or experience.
Violation: This refers to a feeling of being invaded, physically, emotionally or psychologically with an unwelcomed and unexpected person or situation that causes major distress.
Loss of control: Because the traumatic experience is unexpected and sudden, individuals, more often than not, are unprepared for the situation potentially resulting in a sense of feeling overwhelmed and helpless, leaving someone feeling extremely vulnerable and exposed.
Physical effects of trauma include exhaustion, confusion, sadness, anxiety, agitation, numbness, and dissociation. After experiencing trauma, the muscles can often restrict and become fatigued. Trauma stimulates the central nervous system which can cause all sorts of problems. For starters, it makes us create more cortisol which releases more sugar and impacts inflammation creating a domino of negative side effects of the body.
Though trauma and it’s effects are unique and individual to the person, it is important to recognize the impact it may have had or be having on your life in order to be able to start to heal and move forward.
Books mentioned in this episode:
The Body Never Lies by Alice Miller
Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

In this episode, Samantha and Denise explore the similarities and differences between the Law of Assumption and the Law of Attraction!
The Law of Assumption is often credited to Neville Goddard’s teachings in which you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled. Neville’s Law of Assumption requires you to feel the emotions that you would experience if your wish came true at this moment.
“The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself! Do not question how it will come about; just go your way knowing that the evidence of what you have done must appear, and it will.” – Neville Goddard
Here are some steps to help you fully integrate Neville’s Law of Assumption into your own life:
Get crystal clear on what you want.
Imagine in the first person.
Imagine in detail using all 5 senses.
Use your imagination to elicit a specific emotion.
Make sure this emotion aligns with your desire.
Bridge the gap between imagined and real.
Repeat frequently.
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between that which is real and that which is imagined. It may be fun to see what you are able to manifest in your own life using these techniques and practices.

Indigos, Crystals and Rainbows…Oh My!
Oct 18, 2021
Please join us today as we discuss characteristics of the Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow soul groups!
We are moving into a new age. Many are feeling this new energy and seeing the results of these transitions all around us. Millions of souls have offered to be born during this time to help usher in this new era which, after much growth and change, will foster a new world of love, tolerance and joy. There’s a good chance that you are an Indigo yourself or have given birth to a Crystal or Rainbow child.
Indigos are feisty, ready for change, rambunctious, and intuitive. They tend to be stubborn, headstrong, creative, passionate people who are “rebels with a cause.” They have come to this earth to break down old paradigms and outmoded belief systems.
The Crystals are here to build a new foundation of love for the Earth. The Indigos have knocked down the old order, so now the Crystals are moving in to lay the foundation for a new way of living – one that is centered on love.
The Rainbow Children arrive on this Earth fearless and trusting. Their focus is on service. Many refer to them as Earth Angels because they never think of themselves. They don’t care very much about fitting in and are content to spend time with themselves. Rainbow souls are naturally claircognizant and seem to have a clear connection to the other side and their spiritual team.
In order to speed up the positive changes that are coming to earth and help deflect much of the negative energy we see all around us, many Indigos have offered to transition into Crystal energy in this incarnation. Tune in to see if you may be an Indigo in Transition!

Psychic Vampires with Michelle Belanger!
Sep 13, 2021
Michelle Belanger is on the show today to discuss the positive aspects of being a psychic vampire. We think you’ll find her work as an energy healer through psychic vampirism fascinating. Michelle is the author of The Psychic Vampire Codex, The Ghost Hunter’s Survival Guide, Psychic Dreamwalking and The Watcher Angel Tarot. She’s appeared on Paranormal State, Portals to Hell, Monsterquest and Paranormal Lockdown.
In this episode, we are discussing the fascinating world of numerology and how you can enhance your understanding of yourself, others and the world around you. Listen in as we talk about the numerology of your name, your birthdate and even your home.
You can learn more about a person by looking at the first vowel in their name. First vowel A people are hard workers and independent with a love of truth, loyalty and honesty. They vibrate to the number 1. First vowel E folks are lovers of love. They seek beauty, harmony and peace while also needing freedom and celebration. They vibrate to the number 5. First Vowel I are those who are very spiritual and wise, often referred to as old souls. These natural leaders vibrate with the number 9. First vowel O people tend to be very nurturing and sensitive, liking to take care of others. They do well working for themselves and vibrate with the number 6. First vowel U are great story tellers, in touch with their inner child and are super creative. These very colorful individuals vibrate to the number 3. And those with First Vowel Y are wise, spiritual, mystics and seekers. These natural intuitives vibrate to the number 7.
The energy of your home can be determined by adding up the numbers in your numerical address: 123 Main St. would be 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 These energies can manifest as the following:
1: Independent, ambitious, driven
2: Love, Peaceful
3: Laughter, open door, communication
4: Security, beauty, grounded, practical
5: Entertainment and drama, fun and spontaneous
6: Beauty and Children, nurturing
7: Study and intellectual development
8: Financial Achievement, hardworking
9: All welcome, spiritual, reward and recognition

She uses a combination of color frequency, crystal sound healing, body release movement, mental reprogramming, and breathwork in one-on-one sessions, group sessions, and workshops to help release blockages. Through her sessions, Walaa encourages women to spiritually and emotionally evolve, giving as much support as they need to move beyond fear, exit of toxic relationships, develop a strong self understanding through acceptance of their own shadow, and discover a deep connection to their purpose.
Her forthcoming book, Heal Yourself With Color: Harness the Power of Color to Change Your Life, will be released in July 2021.

A Kuwaiti living in Barcelona, Walaa studied interior design in Virginia Commonwealth University and has been active with interior design since 2015, currently working with private clients to create healing spaces, an approach to interior design that focuses on the wellness of the users of the spaces vs only an aesthetic focus.

Conversations with Friends: Have You Been Languishing?
May 10, 2021
Please join us today as we chat about languishing, that blah feeling of stagnation and emptiness that a lot of people have been feeling over this past year.
Many of us started out with the attitude to try and make the most of more time at home, excited to start more of a routine with a health regiment or to tackle those projects relegated to the back burner for far too long.
But instead, we landed in the place of languishing, caught between flourishing well being and depressive despondency. Here many have been treading water, feeling unmotivated, perhaps unfocused and very much ready to move forward.
Please know you’re not alone and if you are feeling that something may be more serious or long term in your life with depression or anxiety, please contact your physician or contact the mental health hotline:

Who are the Heyoka Empaths?
Mar 15, 2021
As people become more familiar with the characteristics of being an empath, it seems there are more and more definitions and descriptions coming to light that identify different types of empaths.
In this episode Samantha and Denise discuss what it’s like to be a Heyoka empath. This type of empath is often referred to as the “sacred clown” as they will use humor to uplift others. Heyoka empaths will also often act as a mirror for other people, reflecting not only the positive characteristics but the negative as well.
Although the Heyoka empath tends to see the world differently and go against conventions, they are astounding at helping others understand themselves better and feel more self-aware.
Please join us as we explore the interesting complexities of the Heyoka empath!

Prioritizing and Bringing Balance to Your Life
Feb 08, 2021
In this episode we’re talking about Martin Short’s 9 categories of self-evaluation. This is based on an interview that he did where he shared that every year he takes stock of where he is in his life in the following areas: Self, Immediate Family, Original Family, Friends, Money, Career, Creativity, Discipline and Lifestyle.
By taking a moment to look at these categories or areas of your life, it quickly becomes apparent that there is so much more to our existence than our career.
Short credits this outlook as helping him to prioritize what’s truly important in life but also uses them as a means to bring balance and be in a place of gratitude.

Practicing Niksen: The Art of Doing Nothing
Jan 11, 2021
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!

Toxic Positivity and the Empath
Nov 30, 2020
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 their emotional 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!

Have you ever had that feeling when you’re talking with someone that what they are saying doesn’t really match up with how you’re feeling? Paying attention to body language, the overt and subtle cues, can often be very helpful in validating our own inner knowing about a person or situation.

Mini Book Club: Archetypes: Who Are You? by Caroline Myss
Aug 04, 2020

Ms. Myss states, ” Archetypes speak to us in a language of myths and symbols, perfectly suited to a society that has become fluent in high-tech code, instant messages and Twitter-speak. The only difference is that archetypes originate in our cosmic intelligence and not in our technical awareness.”
Join us as we discuss and explore each archetype and how becoming more familiar with each can lead to greater self acceptance and also a greater understanding of someone else’s viewpoint on life!

Jul 20, 2020
Please join us today as we discuss food and the empath; how certain foods may effect the empath and ways some of us could be using food as a way to deflect or absorb all the emotions we feel.

Although we turn to food as a source of energy and nutrition, it can also be centered around comfort, protection, stress, exhaustion and grounding our energy.
Throughout this episode there are useful tips, suggestions, and even a short quiz to help you determine if you are an empath with a strong connection to food. We also discuss some basics of Aruveydic body types and how this may help you to align more with yourself , your eating style and food preferences.
