BEST OF 2023: I saw the sun signs Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

As the new year approaches, we're bringing you one of our favorite episodes from 2023:

Sun Signs—or as Brenda Rose likes to call them, "the gateway drug of astrology"—are the most popular and well-known astrological placement in one's birth chart. Your Sun Sign helps you better understand your gifts, blindspots, challenges, and opportunities during this lifetime.
Today, Brenda Rose breaks down the Sun Signs into their elements—fire, water, earth, and air, bringing a fresh outlook to each sign from ignition (Aries) to landing (Capricorn). You'll discover why this knowledge is beneficial: increasing self-awareness, setting you up for success, and identifying your place and purpose in this cosmic wheel. By understanding the Sun signs—their motivations and mantras—you'll gain the ability to view the world with each zodiac sign's perspective, bringing connections and clarity.
Because Earth School is hard without the willingness to understand ourselves and each other better.

The Sugar Monster Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

How's your relationship with sugar? After a listener wrote in to describe her sugar craving as an addiction, Julie and Brenda decided it was a good idea to chew on this subject a bit longer...
Sugar is everywhere, and it is quite addictive. Today, we discuss what happens to the brain when you eat it, how it can feel when you decide to limit it or quit, and ways you can interrupt your eating patterns to be present with what your body actually craves.
Attempting to halt your sugar rush (or any form of over-consumption) is an opportunity to complete an Earth School lesson, which keeps it from lingering into the next life and beyond. So tune in today to learn how to plan, prepare, and take responsibility for your habits and lifestyle goals.
Because Earth School is hard, and temptation is everywhere, but empowering choices and greater self-awareness are attainable, courtesy of the Other Side.

The Season of Death Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

After noticing a pattern of people close to her jumping the planet during the winter months, our Elf Julie asks: Anyone else going through this Season of Death?

Winter is a time of stillness, depth, and breakups. So if you stop and consider that Scorpio, which carries the energy of Transformation, kicks off the season, it makes sense that more energy than usual chooses to transmute during this time.

Mirroring Julie's observation, a listener writes in, asking why she's recently experienced a season of multiple loved ones jumping. When we stop and tune in to the natural world and the harmony of it all, even when events bring us sadness, their symbolism resonates.

Today, we discuss what we can learn from those who pass and when they pass, plus how to handle our emotions during the different seasons of our life... because Earth School is hard without the Other Side's divine calendar.

Up In Smoke: Lindsey’s Episode Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

Today's episode comes to us from our longtime listener Lindsey, who wrote in to ask: Is the use of sage and palo santo for smudging considered cultural appropriation?

For many, smudging is an essential part of their spiritual and wellness practice. As we continue to evolve and educate ourselves, we naturally want to ensure the practices we enjoy are ethically and morally appropriate. The use of smoke to cleanse and clear has roots in many cultures and religions around the globe. Due to the high-frequency sage and palo santo carry, how you procure your smudging materials and your intentions while using them are the most mindful ways to honor and respect smudging's deeply rooted and sacred origins.

Today, we clear the smoke around smudging, share resources to ensure you purchase your cleansing tools properly, and dive into the emotional and mystical components of smoke and ritual.

Because it's all about energy... and Earth School is hard without some deep cleaning from the Other Side.

Wyatt's Mom Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

Trigger Warning: today's podcast contains sensitive subject matter: child mortality.

After her infant son jumped the planet, listener Hailey writes in to ask: Is an untimely death always planned as part of someone's soul contract?

Children bring such gentleness and innocence to our world, and we innately want to protect them from harm or suffering. In a world where children often die way too soon, we as individuals and as a collective feel a form of unimaginable grief that is nearly impossible to define or understand. We ask the hardest of questions: Why them? Why now? What is the purpose and meaning behind this form of senseless cruelty and pain?

So often, the body may be young, but the soul is old and wise. So many past lives are bundled into a tiny human; many who are born with a big mission attached to a short lifespan. Does this justify their passing? Absolutely not. Yet, awareness of the brevity of life and of our emotions is critical. The love and purpose children bring to our world are the very things we need to keep a hold of when we deeply grieve senseless tragedies.

Because Earth School is hard, and sometimes the world doesn't make sense. That's when the Other Side can bring comfort to our weary hearts and minds.

Caught on Camera Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of the Other Side Guides podcast? Well, guess what? Today you'll get a glimpse of what Julie and Brenda talk about when the microphones are off. And, surprise, surprise... they talk about ghosts...

Because what you see IS what you get when it comes to your Other Side podcast hosts! Pulling from their recent text threads, The Witch and The Elf discuss the pictures they've shared with one another that prove Spirits are quite photogenic and love to 'ham it up' for the camera. This playful back and forth will give you chills and thrills as the energy bounces from the ether to the camera lens and into the palm of your hand.

So in a world where a picture is worth a thousand words and seeing is believing, it's time to "Say Cheese!"

... because Earth School is hard, but modern technology has made capturing the vibe from the Other Side easier than ever before.

Intensity vs Sanity Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Many of us are crispy on the edges sometimes, but for an Empath, the feeling of being fried can be status quo. But it doesn't have to be that way.

So, when an environment gets really intense—leaving you feeling anxious, amped, exhausted, or flat-out frazzled—how can you make strategic choices in the name of self-care? Instead of matching the energy of a space or feeling overwhelmed 24/7, it is possible to find positive ways to emotionally ground and release, no matter where you are or what you're taking in. Today, we'll teach you how.

From lunar eclipses to global strife and family politics, Earth School is hard(!) without the ability to honor your Other Side connection to all that is while still protecting your sacred space and emotional well-being. So join us today for some comfort in the chaos.

Happiness is…Embodiment Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

What if your physical body is the challenge to transcend to become a spiritual person? What if it is, through this human body, you channel Spirit, experience ecstatic energy, and elevate your vibe without limit? Heavy questions, right? Of course, they're heavy when you consider your human body is what tethers you to this Earth, bearing the weight of your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and existential yearnings.
Some say the human body hinders the spiritual experience, which can be if you don't treat it right. We all know that feeling you get when you connect to Spirit. We all also know the crash that can occur after. Today, we look at how you can honor your physical form and use it as a tool toward more profound enlightenment. We'll explain why we all must have the contrast of the physical and the etheric, the head and the heart, to find our footing on the pathway to true embodiment. We'll take it back to the basics of human needs and their spiritual importance, how to experience the sacred in the mundane, the healing effects of physical touch, and how movement and consumption (in many forms) enhance or deplete your spiritual ability.
Because Earth School is hard, and life can be one big out-of-body experience when you tune in for a tune-up with the Other Side.
