Uncovering Our Soul’s Purpose with Ainslie Macleod May 04, 2021

Show notes

In one of our most fascinating episodes yet, I sit down with past life psychic, spiritual teacher, and bestselling author, Ainslie Macleod. Ainslie knew he had a rare gift when he was able to predict the next song on the radio or article in next week’s newspaper. He uses his talents to help people discover their life’s purpose -- something he says we all inherently know, he just simply provides a little extra guidance and validation. The process he facilitates is tapping into past lives and connecting with spirit guides. I was shocked when Ainslie revealed Danielle and I’s dramatic past lives and how it has informed our current life, personality, and purpose. Approach this episode with an open mind and you too can find out the secret to finding your soul’s purpose here on earth.

Have you ever found yourself saying, ‘if I do this, then I will be that?’ Dr. Sasha Heinz calls this the ‘perfection project’ that many of us experience on the never ending journey to chasing ‘happiness.’ Women especially tend to put a lid on our desires and appetite for life which disconnects us from our true wanting.
