As you work consistently with the Akashic Records, eventually you might get to a place where you're receiving messages, guidance, and insights even BEFORE you've formally opened the Records for yourself. (Or even after you've closed your Records.)

This is a good sign that you're returning to your natural state of uninterrupted connectivity to Divine Source, which includes the Akashic Records.

It's also a great sign that the Records are helping you fine-tune and open your intuition and ability to receive fully.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer a listener question about this phenomenon of receiving messages from your Akashic Records even when you haven't officially opened them.

Thank you, Diane, for asking this thought-provoking question!

We're experiencing times of unprecedented growth and SO many opportunities for humanity to evolve, both collectively and individually.

These times of change also bring with them chaos, confusion, fear, and resistance. Just as any inner process of transformation can trigger our egos and defense mechanisms, what we're seeing out in the world is a triggering of the collective EGO - which is fighting back and trying to distract us from our true paths of expansion and reclaiming our power.

In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I share some thoughts on how we can re-commit to our paths as Lightworkers and Light-leaders. Join me for a discussion of:

  • the recent uptick in emails and questions I've gotten from people feeling anxious about how to discern TRUTH from illusion on their paths - and how this reflects a larger pattern
  • the interference that's trying to distract us from being fully powerful and from doing our Soul-aligned work in the world
  • not getting derailed by fear-mongering or ego-based agendas, either from outside OR from within the spiritual community
  • leaning into the Akashic Records as a source of clear, meaningful, unbiased wisdom and guidance
  • being mindfully alert and verifying everything you hear (from any teacher, healer, or anyone!) against your inner knowing and heart-wisdom

The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance.

As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer the following questions about the Akashic Records asked by real students:

  • do you have to be psychic to read the Akashic Records?
  • do you need energetic protection before opening the Records?
  • do you need to keep your eyes closed to read the Records?
  • should you open the Records at a certain time every day?
  • how often can you access the Akashic Records?
  • what happens if you forget to close the Records after a reading for yourself?
  • what's the difference between accessing the Records and meditation?

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners (graduates of my Certification Program) to explore how working with the Akashic 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 Julie Brock, who became certified as an Akashic Records Master Practitioner through my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2025.

Julie is a deep listener of the human experience and dedicated to supporting people on their journey back to themselves.

She's a co-founder of the Grafted Roots Community which meets people at the intersection of spirituality and social justice. It is a curated, safe community for people to learn from and with others to bring social justice to the communities they are activated in. Through this work, she also offers customized coaching packages for spiritual and health practitioners looking to revitalize their soul’s purpose.

In this conversation, we talk about what brought Julie to the Akashic Records, how she found my program, how she developed her connection to the Records through the program, and how she's using the Records in her work now.

You can learn more about Julie's community by visiting https://www.graftedroots.net

Are you a GOODIST?

Identified by mindbody pioneer Dr. John Sarno, goodism is a personality trait where highly conscientious people put pressure on themselves to be "good" at all times (and to be perceived as "good" and selfless by everyone). Some other characteristics of goodism include:

  • putting others' needs and desires above your own, most or all of the time
  • getting your sense of self-value from being "needed" by others
  • finding it intolerable when someone else criticizes you, gets mad, or disagrees with you (and so trying to avoid this at all costs)
  • playing the role of peacemaker in others' disagreements
  • going along with what others want, rather than making your voice and preferences clearly known
  • avoiding conflict by not speaking up when others disappoint you or overstep your boundaries

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore this trait of goodism and how being a "goodist" can become a problem... because it leads you to suppress your authentic self and to give all of your energy and power away.

If this discussion has intrigued you, I highly recommend reading Dr. Sarno's books The Mindbody Prescription and The Divided Mind.

Also known as the Book of Life, the Akashic Records are an infinite storehouse of information, wisdom, and Universal guidance. As a Divine tool, the Records give you direct access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore some distinct ways in which working with the Akashic Records can heal you. For example, the Records can help you: * shatter 3D illusions (such as the illusion of separation and illusion of lack) * align with Higher Truth - despite any chaos, noise, or distractions from the outside world * experience potent perspective shifts, which free you from getting stuck in a fearful or triggered state * shed "human density" and ego * understand the spiritual reality behind our human experiences (both personally and collectively) * receive healing light to upgrade your energy system & physical body * soothe and regulate your nervous system

The more time you spend in the Records, and the more you open yourself to receive their energy, the more you'll experience these incredible forms of healing.

The Akashic Records are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance. As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights. In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer a recent student question: "how can you tell when and IF you're in the Akashic Records?" I describe a few different ways you can "tell" when you're genuinely in the flow of the Akashic Records (including what it feels like & what to look for). We'll also discuss what it feels & looks like when interference has gotten in the way, and how to know when you're likely NOT in the Records. Thank you for tuning in! ****

As humans, we all have an ego self. This is the persona or identity we've developed (unconsciously, as part of our human development) to be able to cope, survive in the world, and maintain a certain appearance in front of others. The job of your ego mind is to protect you, keep you safe, avoid change, and maintain the status quo - even if the status quo is not serving you. (Ego will always CLING to the familiar and old patterns.) To try to keep you safe, your ego mind will use sneaky tactics - including making you doubt yourself, making you feel inadequate, and triggering fear when you try to expand beyond your comfort zone. In this episode, we'll talk about fear and doubt as (counterintuitive) forms of ego protection, and how you can begin moving beyond these ego patterns that may hold you back.

In this impromptu bonus episode, I share some guidance from the Akashic Records about what to do if you're feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world today (in early 2025). This is going out to my fellow Lightworkers and Light-leaders trying to make a difference in the world. I see you, and your work REALLY matters! I give you a KEY question to keep coming back to, which will help you cut through the noise, reduce overwhelm, and align with your Highest-Level Purpose. Thank you for tuning in! ****

The specific words, prayer, ritual, or method you use to access the Akashic Records are NOT as important as the frequency, energy, and state of being you're holding when you access them. Your frequency matters above ALL else, and it includes: * the level of openness, curiosity, and beginner's mind you're bringing to your readings * how grounded & anchored you are in your physical body when accessing the Records (i.e., not using the Records for spiritual bypassing or to "escape" reality) * the level of safety you feel in your body and nervous system * the beliefs and thoughts you're holding about yourself, about the Records, about the process of accessing them (especially beliefs having to do with your worthiness & ability to access them) * your capacity to recognize and dissolve ego mind interference * your level of emotional regulation & stability * how much you're trusting yourself and the Records

These are all essential components that make up your overall frequency. They determine how deeply, how powerfully, and how effectively you're accessing the Records -- and, consequently, what kind of healing you experience while you're there. This episode will support you with setting and holding a high-level frequency to POTENTLY access the Records and get the most from each journey there.

One of the key ingredients that can "make or break" an Akashic Record reading is HOW you're formulating questions for the Records.

There are some questions that can unlock potent healing, insights, and shifts when you're in the Records...

... and other questions that don't work as well, because:

  • they aren't appropriate for the Records (such as "should/shouldn't" questions)
  • they're too general/broad
  • they stay only at a surface level of insight
  • they lead you to a dead-end

This is why the kinds of questions you're asking -- and how you're asking them -- are both really important.

I created this episode because one of my students recently asked some awesome questions about whatwe can ask the Records.

In addition to giving you specific examples of what you can ask the Records, I walk you through some guidelines for formulating effective, impactful, powerful questions for the Records so you can get the MOST out of every reading.

Starting on April 8, 2025, I’m bringing together a select group of conscious healers, coaches, and lightworkers… and teaching them how to:

  • Tap into the Akashic Field of unconditional wisdom and healing on command
  • Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself” that doesn't create lasting change)
  • Use the Akashic Records as a tool of QUANTUM HEALING to clear away your own “stuff” (fear, resistance, self-doubt, second-guessing, overthinking, overgiving) so you can confidently show up for your clients – and powerfully help them clear their stuff as well
  • Turn on your deepest inner guidance and experience deeper states of flow, connection, and purpose – consistently
  • Become a grounded, confident, effective Akashic Records Practitioner and help your clients get life-changing results, so they keep coming back and referring you to everyone they know

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident.

It’s because you have Soul-level work to do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them to (1) heal yourself and (2) assist others in their process of healing and evolution.

The Records have been my steadfast companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Akashic Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual seekers.

This is why I created a one-of-a-kind, immersive Certification Program where we go deeply into the Akasha together.

I’ll teach you everything you must know to effectively connect to the Records and use them as a tool of insight and healing not just for yourself, but for the people you’re here to serve.

The length and depth of this Certification – plus my commitment to offering you an unparalleled level of personal mentorship – enable each student to have a transformative experience and go on a journey of discovery about how you’re meant to use the Akashic Records in this lifetime, to heal yourself and others.

In our live meetings, there will be time to ask questions, do healing work together, and share your experiences in the Records.

You’ll also have ample time between meetings to practice the techniques and tools I’ll be teaching you – and to connect with fellow students to exchange readings.

I offer personalized feedback on all assignments, so you feel supported every step of the way.

Interested in joining us?

Send a note to me@josephinehardman.com and I'll send you all the details.


I'll be speaking as part of the line-up at the Global Evolutionary Summit, hosted by Teresa Wornstaff. This online summit begins on April 3, 2025 with my presentation and guided healing in the Akashic Records.

Global Summit registration is $249 (with all proceeds going to the summit host).

Hope to see you there!

As spiritual teachers, healers, and lightworkers, we have a sacred responsibility to adhere to certain ethical guidelines when we do our work. This ensures we're protecting our clients and ourselves, and creating a safe and grounded container for our healing work.

This episode of INNER WORK is a discussion of some of these ethical considerations, both as a suggestion for healers and lightworkers and as a guideline for when you're looking for and evaluating a healer, coach, or mentor to work with.

Some key discussion points:

  • what originally sparked me to create this epiode
  • why it's SO key for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual teachers to dismantle the old paradigm of power over/power under (where the healer or teacher is presumed to have all the power and knowledge, and the client or student has none)
  • why humility, groundedness, transparency, emotional stability, and integrity are essential qualities for teachers and healers (and how things can go wrong when these qualities are missing)
  • the 5 TOP red flags to look out for when you're working with a teacher, coach, mentor, or healer

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic 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 Jessica McClain, who completed my Akashic Records Certification Mastery Program in 2025. Jessica is a soul weaver—interlacing energy, intuition, and healing to guide others back to their true essence.

Her passion is helping others reconnect with their inner being, unraveling the threads of limiting beliefs, past life contracts, and energetic blockages to realign with their highest potential. Jessica sees healing as a lifelong journey of remembering who you are, and she's here to walk that path with you.

You can learn more about Jessica's work by visiting her website: www.theconsciouscrow.com

The Akashic Records are not an exclusive modality - meaning that you don't have to be special or psychic to access them.

The Records also don't require you to abandon any of the other healing modalities or tools that have been working for you and/or your clients.

My Certification students have powerfully combined these modalities with the Akashic Records:

  • Family Constellations
  • Reiki
  • Biofield tuning
  • Sound healing
  • Life coaching
  • Transformational coaching
  • Business/professional coaching
  • Ayurveda
  • Psychosynthesis
  • Counseling
  • Intuitive & energy healing
  • Hypnotherapy
  • Tarot
  • And more!

Tune in to learn how the Akashic Records can help you supercharge these modalities and any other healing work you're already doing - whether for yourself or with clients.

In the process of personal transformation and healing, you'll often find yourself existing somewhere between your “old self” and your “new self.”

The “old self” is the identity that has served you up until now, which you have likely outgrown and are now seeking to shed.

This “old self” is made up of the collection of attachments, self-perceptions, habits, behaviors, choices, and coping mechanisms (or “life strategies”) you’ve been carrying with you from the past.

Your “new self” is your emerging identity and new way of BEING in the world, made up of the collection of conscious choices, behaviors, beliefs, and life strategies you’re stretching yourself into. This is part of your expansion, part of your awakening.

This brilliant Self – your true self - is revealed, layer by layer, the more you shed anything that doesn’t reflect the truth of who you are.

As you expand, you often have to “straddle” this in-between state: that state when your new Self hasn’t fully emerged, and your old self is still sometimes running the show (when you fall back into old patterns, without really meaning to).

This is a period when you know the “old” isn’t working for you anymore, but the “new” hasn’t been fully born. So it feels a bit like being in two realities at the same time.

On this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about what it's like to be in this in-between state and how you can navigate your inner (and outer) transformation more easily.

This month, I've been teaching my new Soul Purpose Workshop for Akashic Record practitioners.

A student in this workshop asked a really important question:

"How is asking for guidance from the Akashic Records different from wanting someone outside of us to give us the answers?"

In this episode of INNER WORK, I’m going to break this down and offer a clear explanation of the vast difference between these two things.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • the misconceptions and illusions that make us believe we're separate from the Universe (and therefore separate from the Akashic Records)
  • how the Akashic Records give you access to your Higher Self and Higher Mind
  • 3 key points to ensure you're seeking guidance from a place of empowerment, groundedness, and worthiness
  • how to make sure you're not seeking guidance or answers from outside of yourself

Navigating the 3D, human, earthly, mostly ego-based plane can be challenging. It can demand a lot from us.

For this reason, it's completely natural to feel a sense of tiredness, exhaustion, or just wanting to "go back home."

BUT -- in these chaotic times of revolution and upheaval, the Lightworkers and Light-Leaders are being called to be more fully present than ever before. Not to escape reality, but to be more fully grounded in that reality, so we can create actual, meaningful change.

Join me for this episode of INNER WORK so we can make a difference together, and meet the challenges ahead while staying connected at all times to Divine Source -- and to our inner wisdom, knowing, clarity, and purpose.

Explore how the Akashic Records can help you do just that.

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic 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 Mariëlle S. Smith. Mariëlle completed my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2025. She coaches creatives on their path to fulfilling their creative calling using a combination of life coaching, Akashic Records readings, cartomancy, and Reiki.

Mariëlle is also a writer, an editor, and co-host of The Creative Well, a podcast focused on how to best take care of our creative selves so we can show up in the world aligned, empowered, and aware of who we are and what we came here to create.

In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I answer a student question about whether the information we can access through the Akashic Records is limited to planet Earth, or if we can tap into higher and vaster realms of information and consciousness.

Everything in this episode is based on my 21-year experience with the Records - both personal and professional - plus recent research into how they operate.

Join me for this discussion of:

  • understanding the Akashic Records as an all-encompassing, cosmic field of information and energy
  • is there such a thing as the "Akashic Records of Earth"?
  • how the ego or linear mind has attempted to define (and label) the Akashic Records
  • quantum research into the Akashic Records from Ervin Laszlo
  • the importance of having a clear purpose and intention (and being fully grounded in reality) when we explore questions about past lives, interplanetary lives, in-between lives, starseed origins, etc through the Records

Staying on the path of awakening and evolution is a CHOICE - often a choice we must make daily.

There's a lot of noise, chaos, and collective fear in our modern world, which challenges us to stay on the path and continue making choices from a place of love, alignment, clarity, and Higher Wisdom - not from reactivity, judgment, fear, hatred, or division.

As healers and lightworkers with a clear mission to RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS ON THIS PLANET, we're being called more than ever to stay firmly planted in Truth and to lead the way with our daily lives and our work.

This episode of Inner Work will serve as a reminder - or, rather, 5 key reminders! - on how to stay on your path of light and evolution...

... and how to continue leading the way for others, especially during these turbulent times in humanity's history.

We’re in a time of massive cultural (and spiritual) transition. In many ways, this is a time of collapse – as old paradigms crumble and make room for the NEW.

We’re all being called to step into new ways of being, new ways of thinking, new ways of leading.

We’re being called to become more discerning than EVER about what is True, so we don’t fall prey to illusion.

As a tool of discernment and Highest Wisdom, the Akashic Records are here to support us in this challenging time of transition.

The Akashic Records are like a bullet train to expansion.

Once you board that train, there’s no going back. There’s no return to unconsciousness, or to the familiar comfort zones of the past.

Working with the Akashic Records is NOT for those who’ve got one foot in, one foot out… or who would prefer to stay in the “comfortable” status quo.

The Akashic Records require us to show up in a FULL, authentic, responsible, grounded way for our evolution, and so we can light the path for others.

Are you one of the few Lightworkers fully committed to this endeavor? This is the episode for you!

Is Akashic Records work always focused on past lives? Do we have to focus on the past when working with the Records?

Or can we access other timelines - including the present and the future - by tapping into the infinite Akashic field?

These are very common questions I get, so let's clear up some misconceptions and explore the vast range of things we can actually do with the Akashic Records!

Join me for a discussion of:

  • does Akashic Records work always have to be focused on past lives?
  • how the Akashic Records can give you access to infinite timelines and dimensions across time and space
  • the importance of CURRENT LIFETIME RELEVANCE when working with the Akashic Records
  • why we never want to dwell on the past just for its own sake
  • how resolving and coming to terms with the past (fully!) can help us access our power, wisdom, and abundance in the present
  • the value of exploring relevant past lives - or unprocessed trauma, experiences, or emotions from those past lifetimes - that could be influencing you today
  • why RESISTANCE to the idea of past lives, or to actually exploring past lives, sometimes comes up

Self-attack is something many of us have often done to ourselves.

We live in a world that programs and conditions us to attack ourselves in many different ways; to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism... diminishing who we are and our inherent value.

Living in this kind of state is draining, exhausting, and it keeps you separate from your Higher, Divine Self.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • common ways in which self-attack can manifest in everyday life
  • how self-attack can show up in your spiritual practices and spiritual path
  • the damaging and Soul-draining effects of self-attack
  • how can you begin letting go of self-attack and shift into self-empathy?
  • what is self-empathy and how can you apply it in daily life?
  • how self-empathy requires you to show up for yourself in deeper, more authentic ways
  • the healing effects of self-empathy on your self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love

Although there's some overlap between spirituality and psychology, Akashic Records work is distinct from traditional therapy in a few different ways.

This episode of INNER WORK is an exploration of how we can understand some of the differences between spiritual healing work and talk therapy.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • how the main goals of spiritual healing work and talk therapy are often different
  • what ARE the main goals of Akashic Records work, in particular?
  • what's required to embark on meaningful and transformative Akashic Records work (including emotional stability, capacity for self-regulation, and a firm grounding in reality)
  • the value of adding a transpersonal or spiritual component to therapeutic approaches
  • expanding our healing work beyond the cognitive level of insight
  • putting spiritual awakening and a "dark night of the Soul" into proper context, both for ourselves and for our clients
  • ensuring we do our work responsibly, effectively, and safely as Akashic Records readers and healing practitioners - always keeping in mind our scope of service and referring clients out when we need to

In April 2025, I’m bringing together a select group of conscious healers, coaches, and lightworkers… and teaching them how to:

  • Tap into the Akashic Field of unconditional wisdom and healing on command
  • Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself” that doesn't create lasting change)
  • Use the Akashic Records as a tool of QUANTUM HEALING to clear away your own “stuff” (fear, resistance, self-doubt, second-guessing, overthinking, overgiving) so you can confidently show up for your clients – and powerfully help them clear their stuff as well
  • Turn on your deepest inner guidance and experience deeper states of flow, connection, and purpose – consistently
  • Become a grounded, confident, effective Akashic Records Practitioner and help your clients get life-changing results, so they keep coming back and referring you to everyone they know

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident.

It’s because you have Soul-level work to do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them to (1) heal yourself and (2) assist others in their process of healing and evolution.

The Records have been my steadfast companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Akashic Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual seekers.

This is why I created a one-of-a-kind, immersive Certification Program where we go deeply into the Akasha together.

I’ll teach you everything you must know to effectively connect to the Records and use them as a tool of insight and healing not just for yourself, but for the people you’re here to serve.

The length and depth of this Certification – plus my commitment to offering you an unparalleled level of personal mentorship – enable each student to have a transformative experience and go on a journey of discovery about how you’re meant to use the Akashic Records in this lifetime, to heal yourself and others.

In our live meetings, there will be time to ask questions, do healing work together, and share your experiences in the Records.

You’ll also have ample time between meetings to practice the techniques and tools I’ll be teaching you – and to connect with fellow students to exchange readings.

I offer personalized feedback on all assignments, so you feel supported every step of the way.

Interested in joining us?

Send a note to me@josephinehardman.com and I'll send you all the details.

Before the beginning of your current lifetime, your Soul made some conscious decisions about what you would experience in this life, what would occur, which lessons and challenges you'd face, and who would be involved in those lessons.

All of these decisions and orchestrations are part of your Soul's curriculum - your conscious plan of evolution and expansion for this lifetime.

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about:

  • how can we define the concept of Soul's curriculum?
  • what are the different levels of your Soul's curriculum?
  • how can you gain a better understanding of your own Soul's curriculum... so you can fulfill it?
  • the fears that get in the way of shining your light brightly and living out your Soul's curriculum
  • the collective curriculum we share as lightworkers to raise consciousness on this planet and assist other humans in their evolution
  • (PLUS bonus numerology discussion and how the number 222 is related to your Soul's curriculum at the beginning of this episode!)

I don’t have to tell you that the world we're living in is pretty crazy and chaotic. There's a lot of confusion, division, projection, anger, and fear out there.

So, what do we do with that collective consciousness of fear, separation, and illusion that's so prevalent in the world today? What do we do with that, as lightworkers, as healers, as people who have a strong mission to be of service or to DO something to raise the level of consciousness on this planet?

I know for many of us there's a deep sense of purpose and taking action, in one way or another, to change things, to dismantle the old paradigms, to contribute to the evolution, liberation, and enlightenment of humanity.

This isn't an easy or quick task. As lightworkers, we hold sacred responsibilities to awaken the light in ourselves and others (and SEE the light in ourselves and others) during crazy times of upheaval and social or political unrest -- when we see so many egoic agendas running the show on many levels of society, government, corporations, and so on.

This episode is primarily about: HOW do we continue holding the light, not losing faith, and putting forth a strong momentum and energy to uplift ourselves, on a daily basis, and also to uplift others?

In this discussion, you'll find some ideas for how we can do this.

Projection is a defense mechanism where someone displaces their own unresolved feelings or thoughts onto another person or group. It's a way for people to cope with emotional discomfort and conflict without acknowledging their own emotions.

We've all projected our stuff unconsciously onto others at times... and we've also been the recipients of others' projections.

In the world we're living in today, there's SO much projection going on. As lightworkers and spiritually awake people, we need a strategy to (1) protect ourselves from others’ projections and (2) be conscious and mindful enough so WE don’t project our stuff onto others, either.

Join me for this episode where I discuss:

  • why projection is such a common human reaction (and coping mechanism)
  • what it really means to project -- and to be projected onto
  • how to shift your mindset and internal attitude so that others' projections don't affect you as much
  • how to set inner and outer boundaries so you can protect your space, energy, and sanity... without allowing others to project onto you
  • developing a more confident, fierce, self-respecting, and assertive persona so you can stand your ground when needed
  • how to become a MASTER DEFLECTOR - someone who can see through others' projections and not automatically react or take them personally

The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

  • self-doubt
  • attachment to outcomes
  • attachment to timelines
  • avoidance / spiritual bypassing
  • fear of disappointment
  • perfectionism
  • fear of letting go of control
  • ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

In this bonus episode of INNER WORK, I offer you a guided meditation to cultivate your inner presence and inner divinity.

This meditation will help you:

  • neutrally observe and dis-identify from your body, mind, and emotions
  • get into "right relationship" with your physical body, mind, and emotions - knowing your true self is larger, wiser, and much more permanent than any of these
  • develop a deeper, embodied sense of your inner divinity and inner I AM Presence (which supports you in feeling more divinely connected)

As a tool for accessing Divine Guidance, quantum healing, and rapid transformation, the Akashic Records can help you become fully aligned with your true purpose - and live that purpose every day.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I tell my personal story of leaving a successful career in academia to do spiritual work full-time... and the KEY role that the Akashic Records played in making that transition. (I couldn't have done it without them!)

Join me for a discussion of:

  • how I started recognizing that my successful, years-long career in academia wasn't fully aligned with me
  • the messages I received from my Higher Self (and from the Akashic Records) along the way
  • how the Akashic Records helped me release an old identity and step into a more authentic, aligned, and fulfilled version of myself
  • how the Akashic Records helped me build a sustainable, 6-figure spiritual business
  • the importance of trusting and following the Divine Guidance and "sacred nudges" we receive on our life path

This episode is about how to shift your perspective, mindset, and energy when something unwanted or challenging shows up in your life.

As humans, we're naturally wired and inclined to see the NEGATIVE when something challenging, unexpected, or irritating shows up in our life experience.

We might also immediately want this unexpected or challenging thing (or person, situation, etc) to GO AWAY - which is a completely normal human reaction. But that resistance, of course, typically makes things worse.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • the primitive brain's negativity bias, and how we're wired to see the negative (or to look for problems)
  • the importance of remembering the level and degree of choice we have EVEN WHEN something challenging happens
  • pausing consciously so you can explore what's actually showing up in your life (and why)
  • a sequence of reflection questions to shift out of resistance and into expansion
  • shifting from a place of victimhood ("WHY is this happening to me???") to a place of empowered curiosity ("what choices can I make here, and what's RIGHT about this situation?")

The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

  • self-doubt
  • attachment to outcomes
  • attachment to timelines
  • avoidance / spiritual bypassing
  • fear of disappointment
  • perfectionism
  • fear of letting go of control
  • ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

As Divine beings incarnated in physical bodies, there's this constant duality that we hold.

You are both an eternal, endless Soul AND a human being, in a human body, having a specific human incarnation in this particular moment in time and space.

This episode of INNER WORK is about reconciling these dual aspects of yourself - the human along with the Divine (or the physical along with the spiritual).

We'll talk about why we have a tendency to forget our inner Divinity as we navigate the 3D world, and how to begin reclaiming ALL aspects of yourself -- especially your Higher Self -- and developing an unwavering connection to Divine Source.

In a couple of days, I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose...

... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way.

Imagine being able to...

  • Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world
  • Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”)
  • Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others)
  • Come home to your inner knowing
  • TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you.

The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others.

In this training, I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing.

We're living through a time of collective awakening.

Those of us on the spiritual path are being challenged to rise above and stay OUT of the confusion, fear, division, reactivity, and projection we often see and experience out in the world.

Many people today find themselves in a state of confusion, fear, and overwhelm - which can lead them to act in dysregulated ways and project their unconscious stuff and unconscious needs onto others (maybe, at times, onto you!).

This episode of INNER WORK is about achieving a state of Divine Neutrality so you can remain centered, calm, and grounded even amidst external chaos or when someone unconsciously projects their "stuff" onto you. (This is also about becoming increasingly better at not projecting OUR stuff onto others, either.)

The Akashic Records are the most potent tool I know for achieving this state of Divine Neutrality, consistently.

Let's talk about this!

I hope something in this episode speaks to you, and inspires you to continue releasing fear and moving forward with an energy of love, detachment, and peace.

These last few weeks/months have carried some intense collective energies.

You may have found yourself feeling these energies in different ways... maybe getting stuck in old patterns, mental loops, self-doubt, self-judgment, judgment of others, perhaps even a sense of overwhelm or despair.

All of this may have been interspersed with moments of great ease, joy, purpose, and just feeling genuinely connected to the Universe.

So what gives with these ups and downs??

This BONUS episode of Inner Work addresses these collective energies, and how we are navigating through a process of rapid mass awakening... AND, at the same time, mass resistance.

This is what creates that push-and-pull, inner friction, and collective battle it feels we're sometimes waging.

I hope something in this episode speaks to you, and inspires you to continue forging ahead on your path -- in alignment with the mission of your Higher Self.

In this special podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic 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

My guest for this interview is Paula M. Routon, a graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2024.

Paula is an intuitive healer specializing in women's wellness. Having personally navigated anxiety, digestive challenges, and menopause, she discovered profound healing through Ayurveda, wellness counseling, energy work, and Akashic Records. Through a deep spiritual connection, Paula empowers women to achieve wholeness by addressing physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. Her holistic approach releases trapped emotions and past traumas, creating a foundation of self-love, peace, and acceptance.

You can explore Paula's work online at https://ayushift.com

In this interview, you’ll hear Paula share in her own words what brought her to the Akashic Records, how the Records have supported her in her personal healing and evolution, what she got out of my Certification Program, and how she is using the Records now in her healing practice.

For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been an influential spiritual teacher and leader of spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers, including A Return to Love (personal note: this book - and Marianne - led me to A Course in Miracles over a decade ago, which transformed my life).

Marianne is also the founder of Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered over 18 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989.

In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Marianne ran for the democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States in both 2020 and 2024.

In this interview, we talk about A Course in Miracles as well as Marianne's new book, The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love.

Some of our conversation highlights include:

  • how it serves us to understand Jesus not only as a historical figure, but as an inclusive, non-denominational inner teacher and a consciousness of pure love (which we can learn to cultivate in ourselves)
  • how we've gotten so caught up in ego attachments, agendas, and conflict... and how to begin untangling from that
  • what to do when we feel triggered, hurt, or offended by someone... without reactively going on the attack
  • how to stop taking things personally and see the bigger picture (with some helpful anecdotes and illustrations from Marianne's own life)
  • Marianne's inspiration for writing this book NOW, at this particular moment in history

Over the years, I've worked with many healers, coaches, practitioners, and service-based providers in the healing, therapeutic, and spiritual industries who were struggling with similar problems -- especially compassion fatigue and burnout.

This episode is an exploration of how to avoid burning out while still offering the highest-quality, most compassionate, most powerful healing work to your clients and the people you're here to serve. (While being nourished by the work in return!)

Join me for a discussion of:

  • why healers and holistic practitioners are prone to burnout and compassion fatigue
  • one of the major causes of burnout (and how to avoid it)
  • how you can support yourself in remaining grounded, stable, and emotionally regulated while working with clients
  • 5 common misconceptions about our ROLE as healers that can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and resentment -- I'll walk you through a powerful reframe for each one
  • the importance of being extremely clear about the SCOPE of your role as a practitioner

Spiritual awakening - and the choice to STAY on the spiritual path - is a transgressive act.

In this episode of Inner Work, we'll explore what it really means to consciously decide to walk the spiritual path and make an unwavering commitment to your own evolution and awakening.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • how spiritual awakening can happen (spontaneously through life events or intentionally through spiritual practice)
  • the temptation to go back to sleep or back to unconsciousness once we've already awakened
  • the daily choice we must make to either remain on the spiritual path, or veer off
  • The Truman Show as an artistic/cultural template for the arduous journey of awakening and seeing through the veil of 3D reality
  • why and how your spiritual awakening is a transgressive act
  • how some of us are here to be spiritual disruptors of the status quo

Have you ever been so challenged by life, to a point where it became difficult to remain spiritual?

As humans, we've all faced life circumstances or situations that made us want to "forget" all of our spiritual principles, tools, and Higher Truths.

In this episode of Inner Work, I share about a recent challenging experience in my life, all of the feelings and beliefs it brought to the surface, and the lessons I've been able to extract from it (so far).

Join me for a discussion of:

  • why we are tempted to abandon our spirituality when life challenges us
  • how to support yourself in feeling and expressing strong emotions such as anger, resentment, fear, or grief in the face of tough life situations
  • owning your humanity and making space for your human reactions to life (without blaming, judging, or lashing out against others)
  • arriving at a deeper awareness that nothing and no one can touch your abundance, creativity, resourcefulness, and inner power
  • re-connecting to abundance, peace, and a sense of personal agency even amidst difficult circumstances

In this new podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic 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

My guest for this interview is Jessie Quinby Hearns, a 2023 graduate of my Akashic Records Certification program. As a business coach, Jessie helps high-ticket coaches go from being unseen and unknown online to enrolling new clients literally in days using an automated yet heart-centered, non-pushy lead generation and client enrollment system. Through this unique system, Jessie supports her clients in creating a profitable business that's fully aligned with their values and energy.

She offers a limited enrollment, small group, highly personalized coaching experience for each client, in a program called High-Ticket Sales Accelerator. To explore Jessie’s work and get a free mini training, you can visit https://jessieqsalescoaching.com

In this interview, you’ll hear Jessie share in her own words what brought her to the Akashic Records, how the Records have changed her life, and how she is using them now in her coaching practice (and in her daily life).

When you tap into the superconscious realms, you gain access to higher thought forms, higher vibrations, flashes of intuition, wisdom, healing, and Divine inspiration.

In this two-part series of Inner Work, we'll explore what the superconscious really is and how we can benefit by growing our capacity to tap into this higher field of consciousness.

Tune in as we complete our discussion of:

  • what is the superconscious?
  • what are the different ways of accessing the superconscious realms?
  • what keeps us from being able to tap into the superconscious?
  • how does it benefit us to tap into the superconscious?
  • how is the superconscious realm similar to the Akashic field?
  • 13 characteristics of genuinely connecting to the superconscious field (based on the writings of psychospiritual teacher Roberto Assagioli)
  • potential pitfalls and challenges of accessing deeper levels of superconsciousness (and how to navigate them safely and responsibly)

Throughout this episode, I refer to the book Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis (collected writings of Roberto Assagioli).

In this inaugural episode, I speak with Penny Murray, a multi-faceted intuitive healer and guide. Penny completed my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2023 and works as a Certified Akashic Records Practitioner and Certified International Biofield Tuner.

Penny is the creator of the Ancestral Resolution Series, where the multi-layered worlds of the Ancestors, the Record Keepers, and the Biofield come together for deep, spacious healing.

Her clients come back to Penny time and time again because of her deep capacity to create a safe, empowering, sovereign space, from which they are encouraged to release what doesn’t serve them, realign with what does, and rejuvenate their whole Self. Working with Penny has been described as a one-of-a-kind, compassionate, life-enhancing experience.

The world is kind of nutty right now.

We're often seeing chaos, conflict, and confusion out in the world and sometimes even in our own homes, workplaces, and schools.

Therefore, diligence, practice, persistence, and dedication are required to maintain your frequency, vibration, and thought patterns at a high level of Truth and clear knowing... a deep EMBODIED knowing that abundance is indeed all around you and within you at all times. Nothing can separate you from that abundance or take it away from you. You're far more powerful than you sometimes remember or give yourself credit for.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I walk you through 8 daily spiritual reminders that will help you stay aligned with Higher Truth and maintain a high-level frequency in your body, mind, and energy field. Regardless of what's going on around you.

The 8 daily reminders will support you in:

  • honoring and living up to your commitment to walk the spiritual path
  • living in integrity with your Soul and with the Universe
  • flowing with universal forces and with whatever is arising in your life (instead of trying to resist it)
  • remaining anchored in the truth that you are a Divine being having a human experience.

My intention is for these 8 daily reminders to serve as spiritual scaffolding for you, every day, as often as you need them.

They will help you remember the Truth of who and what you are, and what you're capable of in this lifetime.

This episode of INNER WORK features an interview with Michael Bernard Beckwith, a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 group, founder of the Agape Spiritual Center, and #1 bestselling author. Michael is a maverick in the realm of spirituality and a non-denominational spiritual visionary who has addressed the United Nations and appeared on shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King.

Join us for a poignant discussion on:

  • what does it mean to be spiritual, but not religious?
  • how we've all been conditioned and programmed to give our power away and believe we are unworthy - and how to take our power and our minds back from this programming
  • how we can help ourselves (and the world) shift from a paradigm of fear, scarcity, conflict, and not-good-enoughness to a new emerging paradigm of love, clarity, abundance, and freedom
  • how you can discover YOUR unique role in the awakening of humanity
  • how to protect yourself from negative programming through the media (a.k.a. the "reporters of the old world") and maintain a high-level frequency regardless of what's going on around you

Emotional reactivity is about having a knee-jerk, habitual reaction to something in the present moment that reminds you (consciously or unconsciously) of something unpleasant you experienced in the past.

Reducing emotional reactivity is an important goal on the spiritual path, since being highly reactive can keep you stuck in repetitive and unhelpful loops of behavior, thought, action, and feeling.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • what IS emotional reactivity, at its essential nature?
  • the 3 levels of emotional reactivity (and which one gets triggered first)
  • how emotional reactivity drains your energy and causes you to waste valuable time
  • the difference between reacting and responding
  • how to reduce your reactivity gradually and bring yourself back to the present moment (with real-time practices)

In this special episode of Inner Work, I speak with two guests about the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code as powerful modalities for healing.

Kathryn Wyatt is a photographer, artist, gardener, herbalist in training, and Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief Code practitioner. She's also an advanced graduate of my Akashic Records Certification Program and a certified Akashic Records Practitioner.

Lisa Orvis Gusakov is a massage therapist and 10-generation Vermonter who lives and works on the land of her ancestors; walking the same dirt roads that her father, grandfather, great grandparents and beyond walked daily. Lisa is incredibly passionate about her massage therapy work and is nurtured by it every day.

In this in-depth interview, Kathryn and Lisa share about their hands-on experience with the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code – with Kathryn as the practitioner, and Lisa as her client.

We delve into what these modalities actually are, how they work, and how they can help you heal and assist you in your process of awakening and shedding whatever is not supporting your evolution. We also address the concept of "Heart Walls" – which most of us have – and the incredible benefits of Heart Wall clearing.

How comfortable are you with uncertainty, like when you don’t know how something is going to turn out?

When you have to wait to find out the outcome of something in your life? Or when you set out on an unknown path, without being able to see where it’s going to lead you?

Many of us have a limited tolerance for uncertainty. We might experience uncertainty as a threat, as something we need to fix or avoid at all costs.

For me, uncertainty and being in a state of not knowing have often felt deeply uncomfortable (along with some other anxiety patterns I’ve experienced in this lifetime).

We’re all on a continuum of how much uncertainty we can tolerate before we start experiencing inner tension, discomfort, and stress. (Along with a strong need to resolve the uncertainty.)

If you’re like me, you might have an inner part of you who we might call the “reassurance seeker.”

This is the part of us that doesn’t know how to sit with uncertainty, that wants to know everything in advance, that might over-prepare for things and/or seek reassurance or validation from others.

This episode of INNER WORK was created for this part of you -- the reassurance seeker. We'll help this part of you feel seen, validated, soothed, and NOT ALONE.

You'll walk away with:

  • an understanding of what fuels reassurance-seeking patterns and behaviors (and what those behaviors often look like)
  • clarity on whether you're currently in a "reassurance-seeking trap"
  • a powerful shift in perspective that will help you get more comfortable with uncertainty
  • ideas for how you can USE uncertainty as a spiritual teacher in your life

The book mentioned in this episode is Needing to Know for Sure by Martin Seif and Sally Winston.

Are you fully owning, claiming, and sharing your gifts with the world... and stepping fully into your DIVINE GREATNESS?

This episode of Inner Work is about the life-changing magic of no longer hiding your gifts, and the incredible things that can happen (that you can create!) once you fully align with your Soul's highest purpose and follow the calling of your Higher Self.

Without playing small.

Without minimizing, discounting, or undervaluing yourself.

Without feeling like you need to prove yourself to others.

Without shrinking to make others around you feel more "comfortable".

Join me for a discussion of:

  • what might hold you back from fully claiming and sharing your gifts
  • what can happen once you truly open yourself to embody your Divine greatness and brilliance
  • how the Universe steps in to support you when you begin taking BOLD action towards your purpose
  • personal story: the moment I realized it was time to leave my academic career, and how I dealt with the fear and uncertainty that came up
  • how to call for assistance from your Guides and Spirit Team as you become more aligned with your gifts and purpose

Thank you for tuning in and spending this time with me!

This episode of INNER WORK is about the spiritual, life-changing practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- in any situation.

This is a practice I teach in many of my programs, because it's so powerful at cutting through the inner and outer noise that we sometimes get bogged down in.

Previously on this podcast, I've talked about the LIES and illusions we often buy into as humans. The lies and illusions of the 3D human dimension, which are also sometimes the illusions we inherit through our human family lineage and also through the collective consciousness of this particular planet, and of the society and culture we each grow up in.

The practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- which requires active work on our part -- is about seeing those illusions for what they are, shattering them, and re-aligning ourselves with Divine Knowing.

In this episode, I explain how to work with this practice and walk you through a series of potent examples of Higher Truth (while helping you connect fully to that Truth, if it resonates with you).

This episode of INNER WORK is about the many different ways in which we’ve all been indoctrinated into the “not good enough” paradigm…

... and how this can prevent you from living your life authentically, truly being yourself, and shining as brightly as you’re meant to shine and expand.

I also talk about how the "not good enough" paradigm can prevent you from fully expressing and living your Soul’s purpose and stepping into your sacred service and work in this lifetime.

We'll explore some ways to begin dismantling this paradigm and false belief system in your own life, so you can be FREE to heal and expand to your highest level.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore the distinct advantages of using the Akashic Records as a healing modality in your coaching, spiritual, or healing business.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • what makes the Akashic Records different from other spiritual tools and modalities
  • how we can use the Akashic Records for quantum healing, insights, and transformation
  • how the Records can help you clear your own "stuff" (fear, resistance, self-doubt, other unhelpful patterns) so you can powerfully show up to serve your clients
  • how the Records can help you expand your healing business in aligned, ethical, effective ways

I also answer a question posed by my certification student Leah, about how karma works within the context of the Akashic Records. Stay tuned for my answer towards the end of the episode!

To get the details for my 3-Day Akashic Records Intensive coming up April 2024, please email me@josephinehardman.com

For 3 days in April, I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose...

... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way.

Imagine being able to...

  • Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world
  • Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”)
  • Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others)
  • Come home to your inner knowing
  • TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone

If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint.

The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you.

The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17).

Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime.

This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others. This is why I’d love to spend 3 days with you in this Akashic Records intensive as we dive deep into the Akasha together.

I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing.

Interested in joining us? Email me@josephinehardman.com to get all the details.

Thank you for tuning in!

How do we reconcile an injustice that we observe in the outside world with our deep spiritual knowledge that ultimately there is a divine order at play... and that the reality we're experiencing now is a temporary figment (or illusion) that we're all creating together?

Are we meant to take immediate action when we observe a pain or injustice in the world? Are we meant to work on ourselves internally first, and/or WHILE we are taking action to correct these injustices?

These are some of the complex questions I'm addressing in this episode of Inner Work, after receiving a thoughtful email from a listener.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • why inner work is so critical for healers, changemakers, and activists
  • how to align yourself with your deepest purpose and understand the role you're meant to play in this lifetime
  • specific questions to ask yourself to get a clearer sense of where and how your gifts are most needed
  • how to connect to your intuition to know when you must take immediate action (to correct an injustice) and when you must move into acceptance or letting go

My special guest for this episode is Josephine Carmela, an award-winning, transformational Empowerment & Relationship Mentor. For the past 12 years, she’s been helping heart-based entrepreneurs, coaches, and healers achieve breakthroughs to experience healthier love, harmony, and fulfillment.

Josephine is a Mind/Body Therapeutic coach, certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Coach, Time Line Therapy™ Practitioner, and Relationship Mentor. She follows principles of somatic psychology for a “body-mind-spirit-emotion” holistic approach to enable transformation for her clients, drawing on her training in multiple disciplines including Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Dance Movement Therapy, Body Mind Centering, Kinetic Awareness, and Relational modalities.

In 2016, she co-authored a book with New York Times Bestselling Authors Marci Shimoff, Chris and Janet Attwood, and appears in the Living Legacy Project honoring exceptional Canadian women. She is also the founder of AlignedFEMME which helps women embody conscious communication, emotional resilience, and empowered masculine/feminine dynamics. Josephine is on a mission to help women create healthier SELF-love and relationships that work.

In this conversation, we touch on:

  • how women are conditioned to give their power away (and what that often looks like)
  • common patterns of undervaluing, minimizing, and shrinking ourselves to please others or avoid conflict
  • how we can lose our sense of identity in relationships, and how to begin getting back in touch with your true self, your needs, and your desires
  • what "owning and speaking your SACRED YES" really means

Reserve your spot in Josephine's upcoming 5-week immersive program:

This episode of INNER WORK is going out to my fellow healers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners -- you are the changemakers, the transformational agents, the wayshowers. You lead with your Light... and your sacred work is truly needed today.

  • the huge impact you're here to create... and why it's important to continue healing yourself so you can serve others at your highest level
  • a few recent "shadowy" trends in the spiritual industry... and how we can help turn the tide and bring greater integrity, depth, and conscious leadership into this industry
  • the qualities that set you apart as a healer and transformational agent

Welcome to another episode of INNER WORK!

In this one, I dispel some myths and misconceptions about what it means to be spiritual, and what is required of us as spiritual and evolved beings.

I also invite you to challenge some limited beliefs we might have internalized from the mainstream spiritual community.

I address topics such as:

  • you can be spiritual and... make a lot of money (so you can be a conscious steward of abundance and help humanity evolve through your contributions)
  • you can be spiritual and... set firm boundaries with people (only YOU get to choose who and what is allowed into your life and energy field)
  • you can be spiritual and... feel human emotions like sadness, anger, resentment, grief (they will NOT derail your manifestations, if you allow yourself to feel them without judgment)
  • you can be spiritual and... ENJOY earthly pleasures and experiences

Thank you for being here and for continuing to work on your evolution. It makes a difference!

Did you know that, in addition to offering us divine guidance, healing, and wisdom, the Akashic Records can serve as a potent tool of manifestation?

In this episode of Inner Work, I teach you some ways to harness the power of the Akashic Records to manifest your highest desires (in alignment with your authentic self, and for the highest good of all concerned.)

Join me for a discussion of:

  • a listener question about using the Akashic Records for manifestation
  • why the Records are NOT a predictive or fortune-telling tool (and how to use them instead)
  • 2 specific practices for manifesting through the Akashic Records
  • troubleshooting guide for when your manifestations aren't showing up... yet

Your ego self is the façade of yourself you have unconsciously and inevitably created as a consequence of living in a society, in a family, in a particular human culture.

This ego self is a protective construct; a version of ourselves we create in order to blend in, to be accepted by others, to be liked, to be seen as worthy or valuable... and most of all, to not stand out or be kicked out of the tribe.

Your ego is, therefore, concerned with your survival and with how you come across to others. Above everything else.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • how your ego self gets created
  • how the agendas and concerns of your ego often clash with the higher-level purpose and desires of your Soul
  • the ego's tactics for keeping you "safe"
  • how your ego feeds you lies and illusions... and how to start shattering them (to get your ego out of the way)

Thank you for being here and for continuing to do your inner work! It's not always easy, so I commend you for being committed to your healing and growth.

Being in a state of victimhood is NOT FUN. It can be extremely challenging, painful, and difficult to get out of -- especially since it's an unconscious state of being.

By virtue of living in a human family, society, and culture, we're often conditioned or taught (unconsciously) to use victimhood to bond with others, to get sympathy or care, or to lower others' expectations of us.

In this episode of Inner Work, I talk in depth about what victimhood really is, how and why we might get stuck in it, and how to identify when you're operating from a state of victimhood in your life.

I also share ways in which the Akashic Records can powerfully help you shift out of victimhood and claim your full power, self-worth, and energy.

This episode of INNER WORK is all about claiming your spiritual and divine gifts, stepping into your authentic self fully, and aligning with the sacred service you're here to offer humanity.

You have a unique and important role to play in humanity's evolution, and you have gifts that can assist other humans in becoming freer and more conscious beings.

So what are those gifts you carry within you, what are some deeper layers of those gifts, and how can you begin claiming your inner power fully?

If you feel deep in your Soul that you're here to be of service in a meaningful way, join me as we explore these questions... and more.

Thank you for being willing to step into the sacred work you're here to do. No one else can do it YOUR way, so your presence is absolutely essential.

I cover the Pentacles court cards: the Page, Knight, Queen, and King of Pentacles. Join me for a discussion of:

  • reading the court cards as a family
  • multiple interpretations of the court cards: as personal signifiers, archetypes, primordial energies, and as representing other people in your life

We all inevitably grow up with and internalize certain cultural beliefs and assumptions. These can include beliefs about life, family, relationships, the world, ourselves... as well as cultural standards about physical appearance, money, success, and what we "should" do or be to fit in.

These beliefs can truly limit us or cause suffering and stuckness in our lives. As you walk your path of awakening, it's important to question the cultural beliefs and assumptions you've taken on unconsciously.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • my discovery of an insidious cultural belief I had been carrying (the belief that "life will eventually disappoint you")
  • how these cultural beliefs and assumptions get internalized
  • how we're conditioned to want things that our culture says we should want... instead of allowing ourselves to follow our authentic desires
  • how to begin noticing and releasing cultural ideas and assumptions that have held you hostage

Are you trying to prove your generosity, worth, value, intelligence, or integrity to the wrong people? To people who will never really get it?

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about this insidious pattern of trying to prove yourself to everyone -- even people who will never appreciate or be able to receive what you're trying to give (or who you are as a person).

I share a story from my own life of trying to prove myself to the wrong people, including family members and potential clients. I also walk you through a series of powerful prompts for self-reflection, so you can identify where and how you've been trying to prove yourself to the wrong people... and how to stop!

Special acknowledgment: Thank you to Gigi for being so wise and bringing so much clarity to this topic in my life.

As humans, we can take things so personally. Even things that are petty, innocuous, or not personal at all.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I share some ideas for how to begin taking things less personally so you can maintain your inner peace, sanity, and well-being. (And improve your relationships with other humans!)

I also talk about how it's your EGO that takes things personally, gets offended, gets defensive, and wants you to prove you're right. An important antidote to this is to stay aligned, as much as you can, with the perspective and energy of your Higher Self.

This is a love letter to you, my fellow introvert.

I share a recent situation that triggered an old story related to me being an introvert (and feeling weird, different, weak, and abnormal because of it). I also share how I used that situation to release this story and shift to a deeper place of self-love and self-appreciation.

I talk about:

  • the triggering event that made me feel weird and abnormal for being introverted
  • how I used this situation to grow and understand my needs more clearly
  • common needs we have as introverts (that other people might not get)
  • building your self-confidence and self-love
  • releasing patterns of self-judgment and self-criticism

I hope this is helpful! Remember you're an extraordinary person just as you are, and don't need to change yourself to fit in. Thank you for being here.

After LOTS of demand for this, I've finally gotten around to it - creating a series on the Tarot Pentacles!

I've already covered the Tarot Cups, Swords, and Wands on this podcast (all episodes available if you look for them), so this final series will bring us to completion with the full Tarot deck.

In this inaugural episode, I address:

  • general characteristics and relevant features of the suit of Pentacles (as a whole)
  • multiple meanings of the pentacle as a symbol
  • how the suit of Pentacles can help you stay grounded, rooted, and connected to the Earth
  • opening up to abundance and increasing your capacity to RECEIVE through the suit of Pentacles
  • in-depth discussions of the Ace of Pentacles, 2 of Pentacles, and 3 of Pentacles

Are you often (or even constantly) looking for new spiritual knowledge, tools, or resources? Do you know when to stop, so you can integrate everything you've learned so far and apply it in your life?

It's so important to keep seeking, to keep evolving, to keep doing our inner work. At the same time, we want to make sure we're not doing this compulsively, or as a form of spiritual bypassing or escapism.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about:

  • how to recognize any patterns of using spirituality or spiritual pursuits to try to avoid reality, uncomfortable feelings, or genuine healing work
  • how to avoid becoming "spiritually constipated" (awesome words from a listener email I answer in this episode)
  • how to do a spiritual and energetic "decluttering" for yourself
  • how to trust your inner knowing more, instead of looking for answers or wisdom outside yourself

I'm sending lots of gratitude to Penny for writing in with this thoughtful topic.

Brilliant musical artist Rajinee Buquing (working under the name sayang) is a long-time listener of this podcast and has created a song inspired by Inner Work. The song is called Inner Work (Intro) + Leftovers.

I want to share this song with you and introduce you to Rajinee -- a deeply thoughtful, talented, lovely person who is daring to be authentically herself in this world, despite the pressures and expectations she has faced to be someone other than who she is. I know you will be moved by her message (and her voice, which is a divine gift!).

“The ability to process anxiety in a healthy way is critical to maintaining your quality of life. Anxiety is a reflection of your body chemistry changes when you are in an arousal state. Anxiety is both normal and necessary – it will never disappear. The harder you try to suppress anxiety, the stronger it will become. Thus, avoiding anxiety becomes its own stressor.” - Dr. David Hanscom

With this episode of INNER WORK, I seek to normalize fear, anxiety, and discomfort as natural parts of our human experience.

Rather than trying to get rid of, fix, run away from, or ignore any of these normal human sensations and experiences, I will guide you in developing a "working relationship" with them - so you can live a joyful, free, abundant life while peacefully accepting the presence of these inevitable emotions (when they show up... because they will).

As an example, I share how I've developed a "working relationship" with imposter syndrome, in my own life and business.

Boundaries.

Where are yours? How are you at setting clear boundaries in your life? How comfortable do you feel enforcing them?

This episode will take you into an exploration of boundaries - what they are, what they mean, how they can help you, and why we often have a hard time setting them.

I also talk about the difference between external boundaries (boundaries you set with other people / the world) and internal boundaries (boundaries you set with yourself, internally).

As a companion to this episode, I've created a 60-minute guided healing journey called Healthy Boundaries: Clearing and Claiming Your Space in the World. It will help you clear, reclaim, and set healthier boundaries in 4 spaces you inhabit: your mental space, emotional space, physical body, and physical environment. To access that resource, go here:

How are you responding to the world around you, and to the things that happen in your life? What are your default, knee-jerk reactions when something unexpected, unpleasant, or challenging happens?

This episode of INNER WORK will help you investigate your unconscious and automatic responses to life, where they originate, and how you can begin to soften them. I cover:

  • 5 unconscious ways of responding to life: being constantly jumpy or nervous (i.e., hypervigilance), internalizing, externalizing, freezing up, and hyperproductivity
  • why and how these types of responses are developed in the first place
  • how these unconscious responses are meant to protect us (even if they are misguided)
  • my own struggles with hyperproductivity - and what I do to return to a place of calm, conscious awareness

You must often face your own patterns, limitations, and triggers as you grow a spiritual or healing business. Working as a healer, coach, or spiritual practitioner requires you to continually heal yourself, release old patterns, and keep evolving - so you can show up for the people you serve at your highest level.

In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about the emotional work required in growing a spiritual business. I address:

  • the triggering event in my own business that sparked this episode (what the trigger was and how I dealt with it)
  • dysfunctional patterns that can come up as you grow your spiritual business and work with clients, including imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and second-guessing yourself
  • WHY doing emotional work on ourselves is required for us healers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners
  • how to begin showing up at your highest level, so you can powerfully serve your clients (and make the work you do more rewarding)

If you're committed to growing your business and serving others through transformational healing work, I invite you to consider my Akashic Records Certification Program:

You're a weirdo. I'm a weirdo too. Our weirdness is our power.

In this episode, I talk about how it feels to be an interplanetary soul and to experience the loneliness that often comes along with it.

I created this podcast for you if:

  • you often feel like you don't quite belong on Earth
  • you often feel "homesick" or like planet Earth is not your home base
  • you're confused or baffled by how humans do things (especially politics, money, relationships, living in linear time)
  • you grew up feeling like a weirdo or outcast, even within your own family, peer group, or hometown
  • you're a highly sensitive, empathic Soul

Thank you for being here and spending this time with me. I appreciate you beyond measure. You're not alone. And the world needs your uniqueness!

Are you looking for answers outside yourself? Believing others know best or that your own inner knowing isn't enough?

Perhaps you're overly focused on others' opinions and ideas about what you should do or how you should live your life. Or feeling like you can't make decisions without asking for lots of input from others.

Sometimes, we turn to spiritual tools or modalities to try to get answers to our most pressing questions, and to help us make decisions. This is a wonderful thing to do, and we must also be mindful of not giving our power away to these tools or modalities.

In this episode, I address this pattern of looking for answers outside of ourselves, how to identify if you're doing that in your life, and how to begin trusting yourself more.

What's your relationship with your body? Are you honoring, caring for, and embracing where your body is right now? Or do you feel at odds with your body, struggling against it, trying to override its needs?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about developing a healthier, more loving, more compassionate relationship with your body - wherever it is right now. This can be challenging when our bodies are sick, uncomfortable, aging, not feeling well, or have undergone some other changes.

Your body is, ultimately, the sacred home for your Soul in this lifetime. The more you can cherish it, the more peace and well-being you'll create in your life.

Join me as I discuss:

  • my own recent experience of illness, which inspired this episode
  • how to be more comfortable with physical (or emotional) discomfort
  • how to do Somatic Tracking to find relief from physical pain, discomfort, or other symptoms
  • how to speak to your body in a more nourishing, loving way

Thank you for being here and spending this time with me.

This episode is going out to you if you've been feeling lonely, isolated, or disconnected lately. Being human can feel like a lonely experience sometimes, especially if we forget that we're an integral part of this Universe - and that everything is interconnected.

I share my own recent struggles with loneliness and talk about:

  • the difficulty of making friends as an adult
  • how you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
  • how moving, changing schools, changing careers, working from home, and other circumstances can make you feel more isolated
  • how technology has made our lives more convenient but also separated us from each other
  • being ok with feelings of loneliness as part of the human experience (and as something that unites us!)

Have you ever allowed someone else's mess - their messy relationship, life decisions, chaotic living, clutter, chronic lateness, etc - destroy your inner peace? Or have you ever judged YOURSELF for being "messy" as a human?

This episode is all about re-framing our understanding of the word "mess", so you won't allow anyone else's mess to destroy your inner peace and you won't judge yourself or others for being "messy" either.

I talk about:

  • the real-life scenario that triggered my ego and sparked this topic idea! (it involves a missed appointment)
  • how we sometimes too quickly interpret an event as bad, wrong, or messy - when in fact it's happening in service of our healing or growth
  • how to detach yourself from other people's "messes" so you can allow them to learn whatever they need to learn, while sustaining your inner peace
  • rescuer/fixer patterns that might be causing you issues - such as a pattern of jumping in to rescue people financially

In this episode of INNER WORK, I talk about how to tell the difference between information truly coming from the Akashic Records versus information (or distractions) coming from your ego.

I address:

  • the 5 main ways you can tell information is genuinely coming from the Akashic Records (or not)
  • potential ego distractions that might block your ability to receive
  • why and how your ego might try to prevent you from growing or healing
  • why time-specific or predictive info is typically NOT coming from the Records
  • important characteristics of genuine Akashic Record readings

Introducing a brand new series on this podcast... EVOLUTION.

Your healing journey is a process of continual, ongoing evolution. Of you becoming more evolved every day. Of you evolving beyond old patterns, habits, dysfunctions, defense mechanisms, belief systems, and self-imposed limitations. Evolving beyond the past. Evolving beyond anything that isn't truthfully YOU, at your highest level.

In this inaugural episode of EVOLUTION, I address the topic of judgment - of both self and others. I talk about:

  • how the meaning of the word "judgment" has changed over time
  • how judgment is a form of punishment (and self-punishment)
  • how we sometimes use judgment to try to feel more powerful, better, smarter, or more capable than others
  • how the impulse to judge arises from a hurt, offended, threatened, or scared ego
  • how we've used judgment in human societies to try to bond with others - but why it's not an authentic form of relating

I want to thank Doug for suggesting this topic and being a loyal supporter of Inner Work.

Are you using the past to victimize yourself?

Do you often repeat stories like, "if my parents had done (or not done) XYZ when I was growing up, I would be so much better off today..." or "because I was cheated on 5 years ago, I can't trust men now..." or "if I had gone to school 20 years ago, my life would be better now..."?

These are stories where we use the past - and whatever happened - to victimize and limit ourselves, unconsciously, in the present.

In this episode, I share a story of school bullying from my past and how I've used that story to justify my lack of trust in women as an adult. It's a vulnerable episode!

We'll also talk about how to start detaching from these limiting stories so you can be free, happy, and at peace NOW. (Which is the only thing that really matters.)

I get questions about the Akashic Records almost daily, from listeners of this podcast, students, and clients. In this bonus episode of Inner Work, I address many of these common questions to clear up confusion and give you a deeper insight into the Records.

Some of these questions include:

  • Do you have to be physically still (sitting or lying down) to open the Akashic Records?
  • Who determines how long you can stay inside the Records?
  • What happens if you forget to close your Akashic Records after opening them?
  • Do you need to eat a specific diet to be able to connect to the Records?

And MORE!

Here are some options to deepen your Akashic Records knowledge and healing with me:

Before you started waking up, you engaged in some unconscious patterns and habits (we all did!). These might include survival strategies, coping mechanisms, and ego defense patterns you developed to try to protect yourself.

In this episode, we'll cover three of these patterns:

  • over-thinking: churning thoughts in your mind over and over, overanalyzing minor details, retreating into your intellect to avoid feeling your feelings, using your mental prowess to feel safe or successful
  • second-guessing: doubting your choices and decision-making process, doubting your intuition and gut knowing, fearing you will make a terrible mistake and regret it later
  • self-doubt: minimizing your own value and worth, feeling like an impostor or fraud, doubting your abilities and gifts

I will also give you some targeted, hard-hitting questions to become more conscious and begin softening these patterns.

This episode offers you another deep dive into the Akashic Records. We'll cover:

  • how the Akashic Records are not just another spiritual tool or modality, but a portal into a state of being
  • how the Akashic Records - and learning how to work with them - can help you heal and sustain a frequency of love, self-compassion, abundance, peace, and clarity in your life
  • 4 keys for effectively accessing the Akashic Records and receiving information
  • how your mindset and energetic frequency are the MOST important elements of working with the Akashic Records... much more than the particular method, words, prayer, or ritual you use to open them

I also mention the 3 major ways of working with the Akashic Records with me:

Many of you were moved by my recent episode titled "You're not broken (and don't need to be fixed)." I wanted to offer a continuation on that theme, so here we are: if you're not broken... all you need to heal is your perception.

In other words, all you need to heal is a perception of yourself as flawed, unworthy, damaged, broken, or not good enough. These are false ideas you've picked up along the road of life... but they are NOT the truth about you.

Once you correct your perception and begin to see (and feel) things clearly again, you realize you have always been worthy. And nothing from your past or present has ever taken away your worthiness or made you less lovable.

In this episode, I also talk about the importance of doing your inner work from a place of peace, self-love, and self-compassion... NOT from a frantic place of trying to fix or heal yourself.

Do you allow yourself to feel the full range of human emotions - including anger, sadness, grief, loneliness, resentment and also love, excitement, joy, freedom?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about taking an honest look at how you're relating to your own emotions. I'll guide you towards a deeper understanding of which emotions you might be suppressing, maybe because they feel uncomfortable or inconvenient, or because someone growing up told you they were unacceptable and you should not feel them.

I'll walk you through a series of 5 key questions for self-reflection, so you can heal your relationship to your own emotions and increase your capacity to accept, be with, and feel those emotions - whatever they may be.

Guilt can often show up when you begin setting firmer boundaries, taking care of yourself, and honoring your needs. Especially if you've spent years as a people-pleaser, saying YES to everything and everyone and putting yourself last.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to deal with feelings of guilt that might come up when you set boundaries and follow your truth. Thank you to Sofia for writing in!

This then dovetails into a discussion of getting clear on your Divine Standards - these are your highest intentions for how you want to live and how you want to BE in the world from this day forward. I'll explain how you can create your own Divine Standards and share some examples to get you started.

Impostor syndrome is a spiritual and psychological phenomenon where you believe that you are a fraud or not good enough. You live in fear that other people are eventually going to discover this about you.

Impostor syndrome can be really heavy to carry, as it lowers your self-esteem and interferes with your ability to follow your Soul's higher calling - because you don't believe you're worthy or good enough.

Here are some other ways in which impostor syndrome can affect you:

  • makes you feel like a fraud; like others are going to discover this and you'll be exposed as unworthy
  • makes you second-guess and doubt yourself
  • makes you undervalue, minimize, and diminish your natural gifts and life experience
  • keeps you on edge and hypervigilant around other people, especially when you feel you're being watched or have to "perform" in some way
  • creates self-sabotage, inner conflict, and stuckness when you try to expand or go beyond your comfort zone
  • stifles your creativity

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore what impostor syndrome really is and how you can begin to soften it.

What's getting in the way of your connection to Divine Source, and to the Divine within yourself? In this impromptu episode of AWAKENING, I talk about identifying and releasing any sources of interference that are blocking your connection to Source, inner divinity, and intuition.

These sources might include:

  • the voices of your parents/authority figures from your upbringing
  • the voices of religious rules or admonitions
  • the voices of former teachers
  • the general chatter of your culture/society
  • the voices of the media
  • the voice of your own inner critic

Many of us have been conditioned and taught to believe that we're broken and need to be fixed. You may now be perpetuating this belief through your choices, actions, and your treatment of yourself.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore where this belief really comes from and how to start believing something else, something much more truthful - that you are NOT broken and don't need to be fixed in any way.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 21, is to be open about something you've been holding back (a deep truth about yourself, a resentment, a grievance, etc) and have an honest conversation with whoever might be involved, or with someone you trust.

Do you have a personality that creates and perpetuates stress in your life? In this episode, we'll dive into these stress-inducing personality traits:

  • perfectionism
  • "good girl" or "good boy" syndrome, a.k.a. people-pleasing
  • rigidity
  • excessive skepticism, a.k.a. needing to see before you will believe
  • attachment to rational/linear thinking
  • defensiveness
  • egocentrism

We'll also talk about some antidotes and ways to begin softening these traits, so they won't rule your life anymore.

I mention two helpful books in this episode: 

  • Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self: Contemplations from the Teachings of David Hawkins
  • Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

This episode of AWAKENING is an exploration of physical death, which we will all experience as humans at one point or another. What happens to the body when we die, and what happens to the Soul or consciousness? How can we understand this process of death from a spiritual perspective? We will also explore what it means when someone we love dies, and how we might cope with such an experience.

Throughout the episode, I mention this book: The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, published by Sounds True in June 2023 - https://www.soundstrue.com/products/the-tibetan-book-of-the-dead-for-beginners

Have you ever felt or identified as an outsider, outcast, black sheep, alien, or non-comformist? Do you have any wounds related to being rejected, excluded, left out, or feeling unwelcome or like you just don't belong? This episode is for you.

We'll dive deeply into the outsider archetype:

  • how can we define this archetype?
  • what does it mean to be an outsider?
  • outsider examples from literature and pop culture
  • my personal anecdote of feeling like (and being) an outsider
  • the potential wounds you might be carrying (such as the wound of rejection or the wound of exclusion)
  • fully activating the gifts and powers that come with being an outsider

This episode of AWAKENING takes you through an exploration of your core values. What are the values that really matter to you, that make life most meaningful for you, and that you want to uphold in everything you do and how you live your life?

We'll talk about how to uncover your core values and how to identify when you're straying away from those values - based on how you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I also read some thoughtful words from one of my students, Richard, who generously agreed to share his core values with us. I hope you will draw inspiration from these words and create your own creative statement of values.

To take your inner work to the next level and fully align with your life's purpose, you can explore my course Journey to the Center of Yourself: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/journey-to-center-of-yourself-discover-your-true-purpose/

In this episode of INNER WORK, I talk about the experience of falling out of alignment with something you've manifested - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, a place to live, or something else.

It can be disheartening to no longer be fulfilled by something you wanted to manifest for a long time, or for it not to feel as you expected it to. How can you course correct and pivot into another, different manifestation if this happens? Let's explore that together.

I'll give you a set of prompts to reflect on which part of you desired this manifestation in the first place, and what your Higher Self might be calling you towards now.

I also share a new technique to connect to your Akashic Records - in case you want to use the Records to explore the prompts.

Have you been unconsciously giving your power away to family? Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, hiding who you really are in front of family, forcing yourself to interact with relatives, or even feeling responsible for a family member who should be taking care of themselves?

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be giving your power away to family - and how to start taking that power back. I walk you through:

  • some common disempowering patterns and behaviors related to family, so you can begin identifying these in your own life
  • a 5-step process to start taking your power back from family by setting healthier boundaries
  • examples of specific boundaries you might need to set (and how to word them)

This episode is a continuation of previous ep. 147: Navigating the Complexities of Family in the Human Dimension - https://josephinehardman.com/inner-work-147-navigating-the-complexities-of-family-in-the-human-dimension/

This episode is a response to a listener email asking: "am I still healing and growing spiritually even during periods of stasis, where nothing much seems to be happening?"

We'll explore what stasis could mean in the context of spiritual healing and growth, and how you can make the most of any periods of relative calm or quiet in your life.

Some of the main takeaways from this episode include:

  • why it's impossible to go back to sleep once you have awakened - even though we often try to
  • although stasis can mean stagnation, it can also mean equilibrium - so a period of stasis could be a period of arriving into greater balance within yourself

Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?

In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.

I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:

Embracing Your Inner Critic

The Self-Acceptance Project

In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

In this special episode, I introduce you to the Akashic Records - what they are, how they work, and how we can use them to heal ourselves and transcend ego patterns.

I was first introduced to the Akashic Records as a teenager by my mom (a therapist and healer), and have been working with them on a daily basis for most of my adult life. I became certified as an Akashic Records Practitioner and started giving readings to others in 2012, and have since developed a unique curriculum for my own Akashic Records Certification Program.

In my time using the Records - both for my personal healing and to assist others with their evolution - I've been delighted, awed, deeply moved, transformed, and continually fascinated by their power, benevolence, and wisdom.

In this episode, I invite you to learn more about the Akashic field and how tapping into this field we call "the Records" can help you awaken and become who you REALLY are.

As a companion resource for this episode, I've created a guided healing journey into the Akashic Records. I'll guide you into a meditative, receptive state and we will open your Records together. You'll have a chance to ask a specific question (or focus on an issue you want to shift) and receive healing on all levels - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical. To access this resource, please go to:

My guest for this episode is MaryCatherine McDonald, a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma since completing her PhD in 2016.

While engaging with trauma academically, MaryCatherine experienced the loss of her parents - a significant event that required her to apply her knowledge and insights regarding trauma to herself.

In this interview, we talk about the important ways in which MaryCatherine believes we must re-define trauma and our approach for healing it. I (Josephine) share a bit of my immigration trauma story, and MaryCatherine helps me better understand my own healing process.

MaryCatherine's new book, Unbroken: The Trauma Response is Never Wrong has just been published by Sounds True.

Working with a healer or teacher on your path of awakening can be an empowering, helpful, very supportive experience. Healers and teachers can help us grow beyond our limits and address blindspots or work through things we might not be able to heal on our own.

At the same time, it's important to be discerning when you seek out a new healer, teacher, or spiritual modality. Just because someone or something is labeled "spiritual" doesn't mean it is necessarily aligned with you, or free of ego.

In this episode, I share some ideas about potential issues or red flags you might look for when seeking out a new healer, teacher, or healing modality. Please follow your intuition and gut feelings, and never allow anyone to pressure you into working with them!

You have likely manifested many things while you were asleep - both wonderful, joyful things and sometimes things that were not so pleasant, or that you didn't actually want.

This episode focuses on how to manifest your desires - for particular experiences, relationships, money, health, aligned work - once you're spiritually awake.

I answer a listener's email on this topic, and cover these discussion points:

  • how you can get tripped up once you believe in your own power of manifestation
  • how your ego self might derail your manifestations through over-thinking, analysis paralysis, or self-doubt
  • what to do if you're questioning/over-analyzing whether your desires are coming from your ego or Soul

This episode is going out, with love, to all my fellow recovering people-pleasers. This is also an important episode if you have any tendencies of seeking approval from others, or feeling like you have to ask others for permission to be your authentic self.

Join me for an in-depth discussion of:

  • what people-pleasing actually is
  • how we might use people-pleasing as a "shield of niceness" to protect or defend ourselves
  • the core fears that drive people-pleasing
  • the consequences of people-pleasing on your whole being (emotions, body, mind, Soul)

I've created a guided healing journey as a companion to this episode, to help you release people-pleasing and approval-seeking behaviors. To access this resource, you can go to my Resources for Self-Healing page (scroll down a bit if you're on mobile):

Are you carrying a mindset of scarcity, lack, or unworthiness when it comes to money? Fear of not having enough or losing what you do have? If yes, it's possible these patterns, emotions, and beliefs regarding money were passed down to you through your family line.

Join me for another episode of INNER WORK where we explore the influence and repercussions of ancestral contracts, patterns, and burdens in our lives. Focusing on inherited beliefs and emotions around money and abundance, I share a case study in ancestral contracts from my own family.

Although you are primarily an Infinite Being of Light, you're also incarnated into a physical, human body. On the 3D human plane, money is a necessary currency - to keep yourself alive, to feed yourself, to shelter yourself, to make things happen in the world.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to shift into a mindset of abundance, create a healthy relationship with money, and forgive ourselves for any past financial mistakes or missteps.

I also address why it's best not to demonize money or see it as evil. Ultimately, it's not money that corrupts us. What can corrupt us is an unchecked ego, which seeks to accumulate more and more and constantly fears lack or tries to assert its power over others.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email about how to heal after experiencing cheating in a relationship. I use this as a jumping-off point to address many different experiences of betrayal - within families, in friendships, in romantic partnerships - and how we can begin to heal the aftereffects of betrayal.

Please be kind and compassionate with yourself as you listen to this episode, and allow yourself to gently feel anything that comes up for you. Please know that healing is always possible.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore why it's important to identify any behaviors, habits, relationships, or choices that could be suppressing your life force. This is your vital energy, which animates your physical body. For you to feel healthy, balanced, and spiritually connected, your life force must be flowing freely throughout your body and energy system.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • what is your life force, and where does this concept come from?
  • what are the negative consequences of suppressing or blocking your life force?
  • which behaviors, habits, and patterns can potentially suppress your life force and drain your energy?
  • questions to ask yourself to determine if you're supporting your life force or blocking it

When you listen with your heart instead of your head or human ears, what do you hear? What do you perceive and know?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the frequency, resonance, and deep knowing of your heart. Your heart holds a powerful seed of silence, healing, wisdom, and connection to all that is - to every other Soul in this Universe. So how do you tune out of the human world of noise, confusion, and (often) chaos to return to the healing silence of your heart? Join me for a discussion of this, as I invite you to become a more heart-centered being.

This topic was inspired by a beautiful, meaningful, mystical poem by healer and artist Kathryn Wyatt. Thank you Kathryn for allowing me to share your poem. To explore Kathryn's work, please visit https://blueonyxarts.com

How can you navigate the complexities of having a family in the human dimension? In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email on this topic. Join me for a discussion of:

  • the complexities of family dynamics in our human dimension
  • dispelling myths and delusions about family from the 3D reality, such as the myths that blood is thicker than water and that you owe your family or parents your life
  • how to deal with feelings of guilt, burden, or obligation towards your family
  • what it can feel like to be a Starseed or interplanetary soul in a family of (mostly) Earth-based souls
  • giving yourself permission to create a family or tribe outside your family of origin

In this episode of AWAKENING, we explore the effects of dysfunctional ancestral patterns, contracts, and burdens you might be carrying.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • what are ancestral contracts, vows, and unconscious agreements?
  • how do these contracts and burdens get passed down through the family line?
  • the importance of identifying unconscious agreements you might have with ancestors or family members - including agreements to suppress your truth, to play small, to keep the peace at all costs, to abandon yourself, to rescue everyone, to feel unworthy of abundance, or to carry your ancestors' suffering for them
  • exploring a sequence of powerful questions to identify potential ancestral contracts and patterns in your life

I've created a special resource to go along with this episode: a 40-minute guided healing journey to clear any and all ancestral contracts, patterns, burdens, and unconscious agreements from your energy field and physical body. We'll sweep through each of your energy centers, or chakras, to revoke and clear any contracts or burdens stuck there. To purchase this audio, go here:

Are you receiving love openly? Are you connecting to the stream of love all around you and within you?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the energy of love, as well as your capacity to feel, connect to, receive, and embody that energy. We'll begin with a quick exercise to check in on your ability to give and receive self-love (we must always start here). I then talk about:

  • what might hinder your capacity to give and receive love
  • why sometimes we close our hearts off for self-protection
  • what happens when you carry the painful belief that you're broken, flawed, or unlovable - at your core
  • intimate relationships and what they teach us about ourselves
  • overcoming the delusion that a romantic partner can complete or fix you

Throughout the episode, I mention the book A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson.

  • what is a crisis of purpose? how do you know if you're going through one?

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore whether it's possible to remain on the spiritual path - and continue evolving - while using substances such as alcohol and drugs.

Join me for a discussion on:

  • can alcohol use be compatible with the spiritual path?
  • the importance of identifying our intentions and motivations for using substances
  • how to notice if a particular substance or behavior is hindering your growth
  • being mindful of how we're bonding with others, especially if some of our relationships are built mostly on substance use

Towards the end of this episode, I asked my husband and lifelong spiritual seeker Garrett to chime in with his first-hand experience of psychedelics and "tripping" (since I have none!).

  • why some people have a more limited capacity and tolerance for vulnerability

Recently, a listener of this podcast asked me an important question: how do we bring our insights and healing down to Earth, to share them with others? How do we embody our spiritual insights?

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer this question and talk about:

  • how to avoid using spirituality or spiritual tools (like the Akashic Records) as forms of escapism
  • how to periodically review your spiritual insights and lessons, to see whether you're actually applying them in your life
  • a personal story of how I've been applying a recent spiritual insight in my own life
  • questions to help you come into greater integrity with yourself and your spiritual principles

On the path of awakening, you might be called to begin living in a different or new way. This can happen when you're truly listening to your heart and tuning in to your inner guidance.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener's email about how to begin aligning with the lifestyle and way of living that most resonates with you (and how to release limiting beliefs and fears along the way).

Join me for a discussion of:

  • having the desire to live a peaceful, simpler life where you get to express yourself creatively or live in community with others
  • the importance of clarifying WHERE your desires are coming from, and WHY you're desiring these things
  • giving yourself permission to live a life that is right for you
  • clearing out internal blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs so you can create your desired lifestyle
  • an introduction to Byron Katie's The Work - you can explore this for yourself here: https://thework.com

This episode of INNER WORK is a spiritual exploration of hunger, desire, and how we relate to food. This discussion will be especially helpful if you have (or have ever had) a disordered relationship to food and eating. We'll examine what your relationship to food might have to do with your deeper hungers and desires, particularly if you're not fully allowing yourself to feel or express those desires. We'll also explore how the way you relate to food can often point to deeper places in yourself that are not being fulfilled or tended to.

In this episode, I quote from two books: Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston, and Women Food and God by Geneen Roth.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this podcast contains a discussion of disordered eating. If this is triggering to you, please skip it. This podcast is not a substitute for medical or psychological advice, and I am not a doctor or eating disorder counselor. Please seek the proper help and advice following your own intuition and common sense.

What do you do if you outgrow your job, career, profession, or business? What happens if you discover that your work, or certain ways of working, are no longer aligned with you?

Join me for a discussion on this common experience of outgrowing your work or business as you continue awakening. In this episode, I talk about:

  • the health challenges that have moved me to recognize the ways in which I've outgrown my spiritual business and past ways of working
  • the importance of allowing your old identity to die to make space for the new to emerge
  • being curious and truthful with yourself as you explore new possibilities for work, career, or business
  • recognizing any unhelpful roles or identities you've taken on at work (like being the Helper, the Fixer, the Overachiever, etc), and releasing them

I also share a quick sneak preview about my upcoming course on discovering and living your true life purpose.

Does letting go of something mean that you no longer care about it? Or that you shouldn't have any feelings about it? Or that you should never think about it again? A listener recently wrote in with these questions - and more - about what it really means to let go.

In this episode, I answer this listener's email by exploring the spiritual concepts of "letting go", attachment and detachment, and surrendering to the flow of life.

Do you have a hard time trusting the good in your life? Or trusting that life CAN be good? Or trusting that good things can last? This is the episode for you.

As you begin creating a more aligned, joyful life on your path of awakening, you might get tripped up if a part of you feels unworthy of goodness. Unworthy of expansion and freedom. Or if a part of you is skeptical about good things lasting, and is still expecting for the other shoe to drop.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore what could be behind that skepticism or difficulty trusting the good. I've included some affirmations to support you in trusting yourself and in your ability to create and sustain good things in your life.

This episode is very important if you have any type of chronic or mystery illness where conventional medicine has been unable to help you. If you're in that situation, or know of someone who is, the information offered here will be invaluable!

Personal note from Josephine: I myself have been using The Gupta Program to heal a hard-to-treat illness called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), which I've had for 6 years. I wanted to commit myself to this program for a solid 3-4 months before recommending it. I am now recommending it because IT WORKS.

Ashok Gupta is the creator of The Gupta Program. His life was interrupted in his early 20s when he was struck down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and conventional medicine was unable to help. He set out to do his own neurological and health research, and recovered himself 100%. This research, and everything he learned along the way, became the basis of The Gupta Program - a revolutionary neuroplasticity, mindfulness, and holistic health program for chronic conditions including:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Multiple Chemical Sensitivities
  • Mold Illness
  • Food Intolerances
  • SIBO
  • Adrenal Fatigue
  • Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
  • Lyme disease
  • long COVID

In this interview, Ashok explains how these types of conditions are created and how you can heal them at the root level - the brain. We talk about neuroplasticity, how the brain gets stuck in loops that promote dis-ease and imbalance in the body, and how to create new pathways in the brain to emerge out of those unhealthy loops.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener email that asked this question: What happens when a decision on your spiritual journey hurts someone else?

We'll dive into the topic of making tough choices on your spiritual path, when you know those choices will likely upset, hurt, or disappoint someone else. Join me for a discussion on:

  • why it's so critical for you to live your truth and follow your Soul's calling, and how it hurts you and everyone else when you don't do this
  • how to be more ok with disappointing others as you continue awakening
  • how you can live authentically without abandoning yourself while still being a compassionate human
  • the importance of detachment in close relationships (especially family relationships)

Thank you to Diane for submitting this thought-provoking question!

Are you allowing the past to define you? Are you still living an identity that was created long ago, and that no longer reflects who you really are... or who you are meant to be in this lifetime?

This episode of AWAKENING is all about coming to terms with and releasing the past, so you can create a new identity from an empowered, conscious, awakened place within yourself. 

I talk about how we unconsciously develop constricting, unhelpful, limited identities based on past experiences, and share a personal story to illustrate this. We'll then move into some powerful exercises to release limiting belief systems, behaviors, and energetic cords keeping you tethered to this old identity.

This episode of AWAKENING explores the dangers of staying only at a mental level of healing (mental insights or breakthroughs) and not applying or living your insights.

Join me for a discussion of:

  • how and why insight is only one level of healing
  • the temptation to stay only at a mental level of healing, which can delay emotional, spiritual, and physical healing
  • how we can become addicted to mental breakthroughs at the expense of deeper healing
  • the importance of reclaiming your personal responsibility in your healing process
  • how to actively use your insights to awaken and transform your life, from the inside out

I hope this episode is helpful and brings you some ideas of how to heal in an integrative, holistic way that takes into account your whole being.

On the path of awakening, you can sometimes feel stuck in survival mode. You might use this mode as a coping mechanism, if you learned early on in life that you need to be tough, to put up with things, and to survive.

In this episode, I answer a listener's email about how to emerge out of survival mode and begin thriving. Join me for a discussion on:

  • how there's absolutely NOTHING you need to just tolerate or put up with
  • how survival mode keeps you stuck in your reptilian brain, unable to make creative and empowered choices for yourself
  • the importance of resolving childhood trauma to emerge out of survival mode and feel safe
  • how to start "breaking the habit of being yourself" (in the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza)

Throughout this episode, I recommend these important books:

Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine

Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza

I've sometimes heard from people that the Tarot is evil, and that using Tarot cards opens us up to negative forces and energies. I have also met people who are afraid of using the Tarot for these kinds of reasons. Is there any veracity to this?

  • religious references and thoughts on Tarot cards & "divination"
  • why Tarot cards - and other healing tools & practices - have been condemned throughout history
  • powerful ways of using the Tarot that don't involve fortune-telling or divination
  • the Doreen Virtue situation (and her ban on Tarot cards)

Your physical body is like a container for your Soul and Higher Self. But what happens when you've filled up this container with too many intrusive "guests", and your Higher Self is unable to anchor into your body? Why is it important to be able to fully embody your Higher Self? That's what we'll explore in this episode of AWAKENING.

Some of the intrusive or unwelcome guests that can occupy your body and energy field include the Overachiever, the Fixer, the Victim, and the Approval Seeker.

These are subpersonalities, or limited aspects of you that can get triggered by certain situations and people. Join me for a conversation on:

  • the 6 most common subpersonalities that block your Higher Self and sabotage your healing
  • how to begin noticing what you're allowing to take up residence within you
  • the importance of recognizing the opposing agendas of your subpersonalities, so you can resolve inner conflict
  • how to make more room for your Higher Self to enter

Walking the path of spiritual awakening can be a lonely experience at times. As you wake up more and more, you might find you're no longer resonating with many (or most) of the people in your life. And it can be difficult to explain what you're going through.

This episode of AWAKENING explores the loneliness of awakening. Join me for a conversation on:

  • spiritual awakening and your ego identity
  • what it means to experience ego death (and why it can feel so terrifying)
  • living life asleep versus living life awake - and why you can't go back now
  • the importance of mourning your old self
  • how to allow and create new, more meaningful, more aligned relationships in your life

Speed, efficiency, multitasking, and productivity are highly valued in our modern culture. This means we've lost touch with the slower rhythms and pace of nature and our inner selves. This episode of AWAKENING is all about the remarkable benefits of slowing down and pacing yourself, as well as what prevents you from doing so. Join me for a discussion of:

  • how we've become disconnected from a slower rhythm of life (and the consequences of this)
  • what drives you to keep rushing, pushing, and trying to be productive at all times
  • the key, deeper fears that fuel the dysfunctional behavior of rushing
  • the protective mechanism that sometimes prevents you from slowing down if you have frozen trauma in your body or nervous system
  • insightful prompts to start exploring your own relationship to time and productivity

How do the Akashic Records work, and how can you access them? What are the Akashic Records made of? Where are they located? What is the Akashic Field?

To answer such questions, this episode of Inner Work takes you into the research of Ervin Laszlo, a Hungarian philosopher and systems theorist who has written extensively about the Akashic Field (or A-field).

I cover the 3 immutable laws that govern the Akashic Field, and how those laws can be applied in your daily life to reach higher levels of consciousness and evolution.

This then leads into a discussion about what it means to shift from an ego-based paradigm to an Akashic paradigm of living and being.

I quote from Laszlo's book The Immutable Laws of the Akashic Field throughout this episode.

The process of awakening will cause you to outgrow certain situations, relationships, people, habits, and ways of thinking/being. This happens naturally as you evolve and shed old, outdated layers of yourself.

In this episode, partly inspired by the 8 of Cups from the Tarot, I talk about this process of outgrowing things and people and how it can bring up some deep fears of losing your identity, status, and the life you've been building for years or even decades.

Join me for a conversation on:

  • possible signs & indicators that you've outgrown something
  • how to deal with the discomfort of walking away from an established relationship, career, or personal situation
  • how to start figuring out what needs to be released from your life
  • the importance of conserving your energy by stepping away from the things, people, and situations that no longer fit you

My guest for this episode is Dr. Lissa Rankin, a healer, author, mystic, and activist committed to healing the landscape of healthcare. In this interview, we reflect on deep questions including:

  • When it comes to healing from illness and injury, how is it that some people do everything right and stay sick, while others fully recover?
  • How does faith healing work - or does it?
  • Can we make ourselves more miracle-prone to faciliate healing and recovery?
  • Why do some healers and doctors abuse their power, and how does a healer's personal qualities factor into the healing process?

In her new book, Sacred Medicine: A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing, Dr. Rankin shares her seven-year journey to answer such questions, from pilgrimage spots to holy mountains, from faith healers to prayer circles, as well as her conversations with healing and trauma experts including Dr. Gabor Mate, Donna Eden, and Richard Schwartz. In her book, Dr. Rankin shares the wisdom and practical healing tools learned from energy healers, Indigenous spiritual leaders, and cutting-edge psychotherapies.

There are so many choices you make every day, from the mundane and minor to life-defining choices. This episode of AWAKENING is all about using the choice points you face every day as a kind of spiritual practice - as an opportunity to notice what you're choosing for yourself as well as which parts of you are informing your decision-making. Bringing more consciousness to this can help you slow down and make the most aligned, supportive, and life-affirming choices.

For some specific examples, we'll look at how you're navigating choices around food, rest, and sticking to a daily spiritual practice or routine (and what happens when resistance comes up or if you have conflicting parts of you pulling you in two directions).

In this episode, I mention my goal to keep the podcast ad-free indefinitely. If you've gotten some value out of the podcast and can help me make that happen, you can donate ANY amount that works for you here:

What is shadow work? And how can you do it responsibly and effectively?

This episode of Inner Work explores the shadow as a "dark aspect of the personality", in the words of Carl Jung. Your shadows are aspects of yourself that, for whatever reason, you've deemed as unacceptable or shameful. And so you repress these aspects into the subconscious. However, your unexamined and un-integrated shadows will continue to make themselves known and influence your behavior in one way or another.

So, this episode addresses:

  • what is shadow work?
  • secondary and primary shadow archetypes (which do you recognize in yourself?)
  • key principles and suggestions to make your shadow work as effective and transformative as possible
  • how to avoid spiritual bypassing when doing shadow work
  • a 4-step method for doing shadow work as an ongoing practice in your life

Here's the blog post where I outline my 4-step shadow work method, in case you want to refer to that:

This episode of AWAKENING focuses on all kinds of childhood losses, from the seemingly minor to the life-altering. I talk about some of the intangible childhood losses that might still be impacting you today - for instance, the loss of childhood innocence or playfulness if you were forced to grow up too fast.

This episode also defines childhood losses as anything that, ideally, you should've been given as a child but - for whatever reasons - was not provided. Some essential things that were not provided might include a feeling of safety and belonging, comfort, encouragement, the soothing presence of an emotionally stable caregiver, and unconditional support.

I share how I've been coping with some of my own childhood losses (related to moving away from my home country at age 11) and suggest a few practices for you to work through yours.

For example, I mention working with the throat chakra through a guided meditation. You can find that here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwzSOF9GEHo&t=31s

Important note: please seek the professional support of a trauma-informed therapist, healer, or Somatic Experiencing practitioner if you're trying to process childhood trauma and it feels overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone. This is a good resource to find a qualified practitioner:

As humans, we sometimes develop a survival or coping mechanism of bracing against - bracing against other people, against pain and suffering, against potential criticism or rejection, against vulnerability, and even against life itself.

As a spiritual and psychological state, bracing serves at least two functions: to push away unpleasant things, and to hold on tightly to the people, things, and relationships we already have in our lives (typically out of fear that you might lose those things in the future).

In this act of bracing, which involves a self-defensive stance, there's a fundamental lack of trust. A lack of trust in yourself, in life, and in your ability to handle life - no matter what arises.

Bracing for a long time can have harmful effects on your entire system, including your body, physical health, mental health, and ability to connect spiritually.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I delve into this coping mechanism of bracing, discuss its long-term consequences and effects, and offer some suggestions to begin softening it.

This episode of Inner Work addresses some common questions and misconceptions about the Akashic Records.

Specifically, I answer these questions:

  • Aren't the Akashic Records a tool of the third dimension?
  • Where are the Akashic Records located?
  • Why are the Akashic Records accessible to us? What's the ultimate purpose for humanity?
  • Can healing happen spontaneously inside the Records?

I mention a few resources in this episode. You can access those here:

Ideally, on the spiritual path we use our triggers and challenges as opportunities to become more conscious and awake. This brand new series, AWAKENING, is our next adventure - and evolution - following my TRIGGERED! series.

Awakening is a continuous, ever-unfolding process and not something we can force, rush, or put on any specific timeline. With this series, we'll continue exploring some of our triggers and challenges while also delving into key spiritual concepts and practices that can help us move through those challenges.

This inaugural episode focuses on SURRENDER:

  • what does surrender really mean, and how can we practice it?
  • how surrender can liberate you from anxiety, ego attachments, codependence, and the tendency to control your life and the lives of others
  • 3 specific examples of surrender from my own life (in career, friendships, and health)
  • surrender as a practice of making friends with WHAT IS and becoming free of resistance

Join me for this episode of TRIGGERED! as we explore all things ego. Your ego carries your sense of self, your self-image, the stories you tell and believe about yourself (especially as compared to other people), and your attachments to things like your car, house, relationships, social status, money, etc. The ego's primary agenda is to make sure you're keeping up appearances, looking good to others, being accepted, and maintaining the status quo. Therefore, the ego is constantly on the lookout for anything that might threaten your sense of identity.

In this episode, we'll explore:

  • what is the ego?
  • the mechanisms the ego uses to try to maintain the status quo and avoid risk & discomfort
  • some of the common lies and illusions your ego might tell you
  • how the ego causes suffering
  • how to help yourself transcend your ego - or at least shift your relationship to it

Welcome back to TRIGGERED! New year, new triggers for us to deal with.

In this episode, I talk about the experience of having an emotional flashback. This is when something (or someone) triggers you to regress to a feeling or emotional state from the past, which could be from an earlier age in your current lifetime or even a past life. Topics include:

  • what is an emotional flashback?
  • common triggers that set off an emotional flashback
  • signs & symptoms that you're experiencing an emotional flashback
  • a 3-step process to support yourself and move through an emotional flashback

In this episode, I mention a book by Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. I highly recommend this book if you want to explore childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and emotional flashbacks in more depth.

Welcome to the third episode in my four-part series on the Tarot suit of Cups. This installment covers the 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Cups, focusing on:

  • a cup-by-cup interpretation of the 7 cups (what they each mean)

  • the 8 of Cups as a card of outgrowing established relationships, career, hobbies, habits, and lifestyle

  • the 9 of Cups and the importance of releasing guilt and feelings of selfishness for doing well and manifesting abundance for yourself

This is part two in a four-part series on the Tarot suit of Cups. (I highly recommend listening to episode 1 first and then returning to this one, if you haven't already! The episodes build on each other in some ways.)

In this installment, join me for an exploration of:

  • the 4 of Cups as a card of apathy, restlessness, and boredom - and how to shift out of this state to receive help and inspiration from the Universe
  • the consequences of forgetting to "look up" to the heavens and getting caught up in day-to-day life
  • the 5 of Cups as a card of deep, sometimes paralyzing grief and disconnection from Spirit
  • the 6 of Cups as a card of nostalgia - and how that sense of longing for (or idealizing) the past can sometimes prevent us from being present now
  • the healing power of laying the past to rest

Perfectionism and hypervigilance are often maladaptive ways in which we've learned to stay safe in the world (or to at least try to stay safe). They're also patterns that we sometimes acquire in response to trauma, and to prevent a similar trauma or hurtful experience from happening again.

The problem with these patterns is that they keep you so limited, living a tightly controlled life as you try to do everything perfectly - to BE perfect - and avoid making any mistakes.

Some of the core symptoms of being stuck in perfectionism and hypervigilance include:

  • difficulty settling down after activity and fully relaxing (especially if the activity is stressful or highly stimulating)
  • feeling creatively drained or blocked ("if it's not going to be perfect, I'm not even gonna try" syndrome)
  • constantly bracing yourself for the other shoe to drop
  • being stuck in hyper-activity, hyper-productivity, and ruminating thoughts
  • harsh inner critic and constant self-evaluation (and paralyzing fear of others' criticism!)
  • feeling constantly rushed and like there's not enough time in the day

In this episode, I introduce my brand new course 21 Days to Heal Perfectionism & Hypervigilance and lay out the 3 most important steps in releasing these patterns so you can reclaim your creativity, peace, freedom, and sense of well-being in the world.

Due to overwhelming demand following my series on the Tarot Swords, I'm happy to present this four-part series on another Tarot suit: the Cups.

In this first installment of four episodes, I lay the groundwork for taking you through a deeper, psychospiritual understanding of the suit of Cups. Join me for a discussion of:

  • the suit of Cups as representing a primarily feminine energy (in contrast, particularly, to the very phallic suit of Swords)

  • how the suit of Cups challenges us to embody the energies of surrendering, flexibility, flow, and receptivity

  • the Ace of Cups as a card of total Divine connection and spiritual solace

  • the 2 of Cups as a card for healing dysfunctional relationship patterns, especially unequal power dynamics in romantic relationships

  • the 3 of Cups as a card that challenges us to overcome interpersonal trauma so we can celebrate ourselves and each other, particularly in the context of female friendship

I'll be referring to the Rider Waite Smith deck if you want to follow along with the imagery and specific details on the cards.

Aaah, the holidays... a magical time of gathering with loved ones and celebrating our blessings. That is, ideally!

For many people, the holidays can be a lot more stressful, draining, or anxiety-inducing than the picture-perfect image of a loving family gathered around a fancy table. The holidays - whichever ones you choose to celebrate - can bring up mixed emotions or fill you with anticipatory dread, worry, and stress.

In this special holiday edition of TRIGGERED!, I talk about:

  • the importance of breaking with old traditions that feel draining, confining, or dysfunctional

  • creating your own traditions that feel more aligned and peaceful

  • reinforcing boundaries with family members during the holidays

  • liberating yourself from burdensome family expectations and using the holidays as an opportunity to practice saying NO

  • ways to protect yourself energetically & physically if you choose to gather with family

You might find this resource helpful if you do get triggered at some point during the holidays. I created a guide on 10 Ways to Get Untriggered Quickly, which you can download here:

Have you found yourself reaching for whatever it is you can - a substance, experience, behavior, or whatever else - to escape the present moment?

Yup, I've done that too. Many times!

This episode of TRIGGERED! is, in many ways, a continuation of my episode on addictions and compulsive behavior. But this time we're focusing on the impulse to "check out", to not be here, to not be in your body, to escape reality. Join me for a discussion of:

  • where the impulse to check out or escape comes from (and how it relates to being highly sensitive)

  • why and how this impulse drives us to engage in self-destructive or harmful behaviors

  • why it's important to NOT demonize or punish yourself for wanting to escape

  • recognizing that your addictions and attachments to the things, substances, and behaviors you use to check out are not happening in a vacuum; there are entire industries invested in keeping you addicted (and how touching into your sacred anger about this can help in breaking those attachments)

  • what happens at a physical and cellular level when you "ascend" spiritually

Ever found yourself in a situation where someone tried to tell you how to live your life? Maybe they tried to tell you what you should eat, or what you shouldn't eat, or how you should speak or behave, or how you should raise your kids, or how you should dress. This can bring up all kinds of emotions and feel really triggering.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • how to deal with well-intentioned (or not so well-intentioned) people trying to tell you how to live

  • the importance of working through our own tendencies to tell others how to live (because we're not perfect either!)

  • how to deal with feelings of being judged or criticized

  • my personal story with veganism and how this created a rift in my family

  • the importance of releasing energetic hooks and cords connecting you to people who've tried to control or manipulate you

  • honoring our vulnerability and desire to avoid conflict as highly sensitive people

This episode of TRIGGERED! is about what happens to us when a relationship ends. I focus on romantic and intimate relationships - whether in-person, long-distance, short, long, a marriage, a domestic union, or any other kind of significant relationship.

I offer specific suggestions and practices to support you as you navigate a break-up, separation, or divorce and find yourself again.

The most important takeaway from this episode is that feelings of loss, fear, anger, or grief are natural in the healing process. I hope you will allow yourself to move through them for as long as you need.

"Addictions always originate in pain, whether felt openly or hidden in the unconscious." - Dr. Gabor Mate

This episode of TRIGGERED! takes on the topic of addictive behaviors through my own personal experience with food and sugar addiction. Join me for a discussion of:

  • what fuels us to engage in addictive behaviors even when we know they're harming us

  • the importance of not making an addiction or addictive substance the enemy

  • how the addictive cycle keeps us stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking and robs us of peace, vitality, and energy

  • softening addictive tendencies by understanding WHY and HOW you've used them as a coping mechanism or as a response to trauma

  • for sugar addiction in particular, the importance of cultivating more "sweetness" and self-compassion in your daily life

I mention a number of resources throughout the episode. Please explore these based on your own needs and interests:

  • reclaiming your natural rhythm
  • the negative consequences of being led by an out-of-control ego

Your intuition is your inner guidance system and inner GPS. As such, it gives you information about the people, places, and situations that are aligned with you - as well as the people, places, and situations that are not. Through this guidance, you can decide what to move towards to and what to move away from.

In this episode of TRIGGERED!, I address the important topic of being able to trust your intuition and intuitive nudges. Specific themes include:

  • How your trust in your own intuition can become corroded over time for a variety of reasons (for example: if it was unsafe to trust in your feelings and perceptions growing up, if you've been privileging your head and logical thinking over your heart and intuition, or if you feel unworthy of receiving clear information from your Guides)
  • The intuitive channels through which you receive information and guidance
  • Your body as a vehicle of divine communication
  • 6 specific blocks that make it hard to trust your intuition and the messages that come through (and how to work with each one)

In the episode, I mention this article on the 5 clairs: https://josephinehardman.com/how-to-develop-your-intuition-with-the-5-clairs/

This is the inaugural episode in a four-part series exploring the Tarot Swords in depth. Join me as we journey through the Swords, from the Ace to the King, and derive important lessons from this suit.

This first episode covers:

  • an overview of the Swords as a suit
  • how the journey through the Swords is a cautionary tale about the undisciplined ego mind
  • how this suit warns us about the dangers of privileging head over heart
  • the suit's double-edged nature, which is reflective of the mind as a double-edged "tool"
  • how we sometimes develop a coping mechanism of retreating into the head to avoid our feelings or suppress heart trauma

I also dive into the Ace of Swords, 2 of Swords, and 3 of Swords to provide detailed interpretations of each card.

Being in a one-sided friendship can be triggering (and exhausting!). This episode responds to a listener email by exploring what happens when you give your full support and attention to a friend, but they don't give you a reciprocal exchange of energy and presence. Our listener was triggered, specifically, when a friend would multitask, check their phone, or otherwise get distracted during their interactions (particularly when it was time for our listener to share and be heard).

In the episode, I also talk about:

  • how being highly sensitive can make us feel more upset or rejected when friends don't seem to be fully present with us
  • the importance of speaking up for your needs in friendships & relationships (and how to do so)
  • the valuable lesson of releasing one-sided friendships
  • my own recent experience of having to let a friendship go

Feeling criticized or called out on something can feel so uncomfortable. So triggering! This episode investigates what happens to us when someone tries to prove us "wrong" - whether they're responding to something we've created, something we've said or done, or a personal opinion.

I offer two specific, grounding questions to stay as centered as you can and evaluate the criticism you receive as peacefully and openly as possible. I also touch on cases or situations where it might be ok to evalute that criticism critically and detach from it if it's coming from a hostile or close-minded place.

An important point of this episode is that being called out on something - or when someone tries to prove you wrong - can be an excellent opportunity for growth, learning, and examining your own beliefs.

In response to a listener question, this episode explores what happens when you're trying to manifest something and it just isn't showing up in your life (or isn't manifesting quickly enough). This can give rise to feelings of worry, fear, urgency, frustration, and hopelessness. I talk about what to do with those feelings and also cover these topics:

  • what "surrendering" really means

  • a common trap or misconception in the law of attraction

  • how you can manifest what you want even with some fear or doubt

  • how to adopt an attitude of empowered surrendering

  • a specific practice to shift from an attitude of grasping to an attitude of surrender & receptivity

What is emotional labor? How do you know when you're doing it? And what are the costs and consequences associated with that labor?

Join me for an in-depth exploration of emotional labor, what it is, and how to recognize when you're doing it (and why you're doing it). In this episode, I offer specific examples of emotional labor across three spaces: at home, in relationships, and in your work as a healer or service-based provider.

As healers, we must engage in particular kinds of emotional labor when we work with clients individually or in group settings. As we run through the different types of emotional labor you might be doing in your life and work, I invite you to notice which of these you tend to engage in the most... and which are most draining for you. What kind of emotional labor are you doing simply out of a sense of obligation, family expectations, or social conditioning? Are you doing emotional labor to please others or avoid conflict? If so, how can you shift that pattern?

In this episode, I announced my Akashic Records Level 1 Training Course. You can explore that here:

This episode is going out to my fellow overthinkers! Do you tend to get trapped inside your head, caught in repetitive or intrusive thinking patterns? Do you overanalyze everything to death? Do you find it challenging to drop down into your body and be in the space of your heart?

Join me as we explore the possible reasons why you might have developed this tendency to "retreat" into the head as a safety or coping mechanism. In this episode, I define the difference between being in your head (the home of your rational and ego mind) versus being in your heart (the home of your divine mind and spirit). I also talk about what you can do to begin shifting from the head into the heart.

Has anyone ever told you to just "be positive" or "think positive" while you were in the midst of a crisis, having a challenge, or experiencing intense emotions? Did this make you want to rip that person's head off? Yup, I've been there too!

In this episode of TRIGGERED!, I talk about the experience of being told to just "be positive" and how this can make you feel triggered, alone, angry, or dismissed. This may also trigger the feeling that your experience or emotions are being minimized.

I also cover, briefly, the sometimes endemic tendency in the spiritual community towards "toxic positivity" - the idea that everything is, or should, be ok if you just "stay positive" and keep your vibes high.

Self-abandonment is really common in our culture. It can take many different forms, but it’s often related to denying or suppressing your own needs to act in ways that are deemed acceptable by others.

Our western culture frequently encourages us to move towards this place of self-denial, suppression, and twisting ourselves to fit external expectations and demands. Part of this has to do with being affable, with not creating conflict, with being perceived as a helpful and productive and easygoing person.

In this episode of Triggered, we explore what it means to abandon or betray yourself. I run through some specific examples of self-abandonment and offer suggestions for reclaiming your self-worth and becoming your own ally and advocate.

This episode of TRIGGERED! is going out to my fellow highly sensitive people and empaths. Do you sometimes (still) get triggered when you feel you're "too sensitive", or if someone else makes you feel that you are, or if you even have the slightest inkling that someone might be perceiving you that way? Yup, me too!

Especially if you grew up hearing that you're too sensitive, or you need to grow a thicker skin, or you take things too personally, you might have developed a sense of shame about your sensitivity. In this episode, we dive into the experience of feeling shame about our heightened sensitivity and what we can do with that shame when it gets triggered.

It's very likely that you've lived lifetimes as a human before your current life. Some of the painful, traumatizing, or challenging experiences from your past lives might still remain unresolved. We can think of past life trauma in a number of different ways – for example, we have all experienced both individual and collective trauma in past lives.

Trauma from your past lives, if it remains unresolved, tends to become embedded somewhere in your energy field. You also hold memories of that trauma at a cellular level. This is why you can sometimes experience not only emotional but also physical symptoms related to past life trauma.

In this episode, I delve into the topic of past life trauma and offer a few specific indicators or signs that your current challenges - whether emotional, physical, spiritual, or relational - might be related to past life issues. I also discuss how the Akashic Records are one of the most ideal tools for healing this kind of trauma.

This episode of TRIGGERED! is about those moments when the "same old" issue shows up in your life... yet again. This could be an issue or pattern (or even physical symptom) you've faced many times before. Sometimes, it feels like it goes into "remission" or like you've finally moved beyond it, but then it pops up again when you least expect it. Gah! Having a human experience can be so tough.

I offer some real talk on how to face these old demons again when they pop up. The major focus of the episode is on how to move through the intense feelings that can come up in these moments: shame, anger, frustration, hopelessness, discouragement, sometimes even despair.

I also lay out 4 specific suggestions for helping yourself face the same old issue, pattern, or symptom more compassionately and productively when it does show up.

For this special episode of Inner Work, I had the privilege of working with a respected friend, Thomas the Hermit, as we journeyed into his Akashic Records and then recorded a debrief of the experience. You will hear Thomas speak about the session candidly - what happened, what we saw and received from the Records, and how the information helped him.

Our conversation provides an inside look into an Akashic Records Healing Session. If you've ever wondered how this modality can help you accelerate your healing, overcome dysfunctional patterns, and reconnect to the highest-level version of yourself (i.e., your Higher Self, Soul, Divine Self), this episode will shed some light on all of that. It also provides a case study of how the Akashic Records can be accessed - and the kinds of information that can come through - with the help of a trained reader.

Boundaries! A perpetually hot issue in the spiritual and healing worlds. Boundaries are something we must all continually work on while we're incarnated in human bodies. It's so important to have clear and healthy boundaries to delineate where you end and where someone else begins. This can help you stay true to your core needs and desires instead of losing your sense of self in relationships or in other people.

In this episode, I respond to a listener email about one of her triggers - when people try to tell her what to do and when people cross her boundaries.

Join me for this discussion as we delve into the "freeze" response that can habitually get triggered when others disrespect or test your boundaries, especially if you grew up with poor boundaries or parents/caregivers who were unable to model healthy boundary-setting.

I also talk about "sacred anger" and how reawakening this energy within you can lead to powerful healing and help you stand your ground - no matter where you are, who you're with, or what's being asked of you.

To share your response to this episode or one of your own triggers for a future episode, please email me@josephinehardman.com

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the deeply soulful, compassionate, and knowledgeable Lauren McGill (Woman of Rivers). Lauren is a spiritualist, diviner, and root worker living in New Orleans. In her work as Woman of Rivers, she utilizes the Tarot for insight, growth, and healing as she helps her clients release old patterns and powerfully connect with their ancestors.

To extend the scope of her work, Lauren is currently studying Art Therapy, a practice she intends to integrate with ancestral healing modalities of breathwork and herbal medicine making.

In this interview, we talk about ancestral healing: what it is, why it's important, and where you can start. We also chat about Lauren's healing journey and how water (and fluidity!) has been an essential element in both her business and private life.

To connect with Lauren, you can tune in to weekly collective Tarot readings via https://instagram.com/womanofrivers or visit her website for sessions, her spells deck, and conjure work at www.womanofrivers.com

This episode of TRIGGERED! explores the issue of feeling excluded, rejected, or like an "alien" or outcast. (Have you been there? Me too!) I respond to a listener's message about this and dive into the root of these painful feelings that can get activated whenever you feel left out or overlooked.

Join me as we explore why we get triggered when we feel unseen or excluded and what we can do to soothe or relate differently to this trigger. We'll also go back in time to locate your "primary rejection" -- that first conscious memory of being rejected, excluded, unseen, or mocked simply for being who you are. Healing that core wound of rejection and compassionately holding the part of you that's still suffering because of it is the key to releasing this trigger.

I'd love to hear your feedback on this episode! Please email me any time at me@josephinehardman.com . I would also love to hear about your own triggers so we can work through them together.

Thank you for being here! I see you, I acknowledge you, and you're not alone.

To celebrate Inner Work's 100th episode, join me for an interactive gratitude experience. This episode is ALL about gratitude and giving thanks!

We'll do a guided meditation together to tune into your heart and cultivate loving-kindness within your whole body and outwardly towards your home, community, and the world.

I'll also give you a set of 7 journaling prompts to go deeper into your gratitude practice (or start one!), as well as 3 gratitude challenges for which you can take action starting today.

The goal of this episode is to move all aspects of yourself - your mind, body, and spirit - towards the expansive experience of feeling gratitude. As Rumi says, we must wear gratitude "like a warm cloak", for it will fill our lives with warmth, resilience, and peace.

THANK YOU so much to every single listener who has tuned in on a monthly basis, left a rating or review, subscribed to the podcast, and/or recommended the podcast to a good friend. Your presence means the world to me.

Being in a human, physical body can be very triggering at times. It can feel dense, unsafe, or uncomfortable to be in a body. This sometimes leads us to try to escape the body through coping mechanisms like overeating, undereating, drinking too much, checking out from reality, or spiritual bypassing.

It can also feel unsafe to be in your body if you've experienced trauma of any kind in this lifetime. In this episode, I address a few different forms of trauma you might have experienced that could still be affecting your ability to feel grounded and embodied. I also offer two practices to begin healing your relationship to your body.

DISCLAIMER: nothing in this episode should be considered a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice or treatment.

Having a dysfunctional relationship to time can make it difficult to stay present and grounded in each moment. In this episode, I explore the modern syndrome called "hurry sickness", which tends to manifest in the following ways:

  • a feeling of always trying to beat the clock (and always keeping an eye on the clock)
  • a feeling of never having enough hours in the day
  • the compulsion to do more and more in less and less time
  • inability to relax at the end of the day or even when you're away from work
  • frustration, irritability, anxiety, and stress regarding time and deadlines
  • physical symptoms such as muscle aches, tension headaches, insomnia, and restlessness in the body

After examining the different ways in which "hurry sickness" might be showing up in your life, we'll dive into practical and spiritual approaches to heal your relationship to time. Applying the suggestions in this episode will help you feel more expansive, less hurried, and anchored in the present moment.

A very common trigger that most of us experience is comparing ourselves to others and then feeling worse about ourselves. This is also called "compare & despair", and it can bring up intense feelings of inadequacy, not being good enough, and impostor syndrome.

In this episode, I dive into this particular trigger and the different ways in which it might be showing up in your life. I share what has helped me become un-triggered and shift my experience with "compare & despair" into a doorway for expansion and for identifying my true desires.

I also delve into the shadow side of comparing ourselves to others and offer suggestions for working with that shadow.

I hope this will be helpful for you, wherever you are on the healing path! To share feedback or your own triggers, you can always email me at me@josephinehardman.com

My guest for this episode, Sara Artemisia, MS, CMC is an Abundance Mindset Coach & Akashic Records Reader.

Today, we begin with a powerful quote from Victor Frankl: "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

These words remind us that we don't have to respond reactively to life. That we can notice and work with our triggers to diminish our knee-jerk reactions, which can often cause suffering for ourselves and/or others.

In this episode, I answer a listener email about a specific triggering situation: when you feel unheard or misunderstood in the context of an intimate relationship (or friendship). I share what I have found useful in these situations. I also encourage you to examine past relationship dynamics - including your relationships with your parents - so you can take stock of the unhealed or core wounds you bring with you into your interactions with people now.

You finally find a quiet moment to meditate, you sit down, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths... and your brain is off to the races. The ego mind can often get in the way of your meditation practice by pulling you in many different directions.

In this mini-episode, I explore the most common interference patterns used by the brain and ego mind when you try to meditate. I also share a few journaling or reflection prompts so you can explore the idea of surrendering, letting go of control, and creating more space between you and your ego mind.

Additionally, I offer some alternative practices if sitting still in complete silence is too unbearable for you. Sometimes this can be a sign that you're tapping into "frozen" or unresolved trauma, so it's important to be mindful of what's happening in your body and take a more gradual approach to meditation.

If this episode is helpful for you, please consider leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts - or, better yet, telling a friend about the podcast!

My guest for this episode, Juanita Benedicto, works full-time as a consulting astrologer and tarot reader in Central Mexico. Her path to astrology has been very colorful. She's worked in salmon restoration in the streams of Northern California and as a librarian at University of Oregon. She spent four years with nuns in Central Mexico educating girls, building a library, and introducing battered women back to their bodies. She's lived and worked off the grid at a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Retreat Center. Today, in addition to her client work, Juanita practices planetary magic and studies horary, a particular branch of astrology.

In this interview, we talk about Juanita’s creation of the Faunabelle Tarot deck, set to launch on Kickstarter in December 2020.

Becoming less reactive is an important goal on your path of healing and spiritual awakening. To respond to situations from a place of wisdom, higher truth, and confidence – instead of responding out of fear, worry, anger, or any kind of knee-jerk reaction.

This goal of becoming less reactive – and therefore becoming more centered and grounded in the present moment – is what inspired this new experimental series of mini-episodes, which I’m calling TRIGGERED! (with an exclamation point because when you get triggered, it can be pretty intense). Through these episodes, I also want to bring some levity and lightness to the process of spiritual development, which can sometimes really challenge you.

In this first mini-episode, we’ll be working with what happens (and what to do) when you put yourself out there and someone criticizes you. This topic was inspired by one of my own triggers, so this episode includes a personal anecdote. I then shift to the bigger picture and some specific takeaways as you strive to put yourself out there as well.

I'd love for this series to be a dialogue between you and me, so please send me your triggers (as you become aware of them) via email: me@josephinehardman.com

Thomas (of Hermit's Mirror) uses the Tarot as a mirror to redirect light back into the hidden corners of the mind, guiding querents through the wilderness of life and helping Tarot readers find their own way more easily. He's been reading Tarot for over 20 years. Thomas is also the host of an Instagram series of Tarot talks and the author of Tarot Tableau: The Fool's Journey.

In this conversation, we talk about how we can use the Tarot to excavate transformative and useful insights - even when we get cards we didn't expect or when our readings unfold in unexpected directions.

As a healing tool, the Akashic Records can help you navigate uncertainty in our modern times, make more informed and intentional choices, release dysfunctional patterns, and reconnect you to a sense of purpose and meaning in your life. In this episode, I take you deeper into the Akashic Records to deliver some collective messages from the Record Keepers.

These messages include guidance about what to focus on, what to prioritize right now, and potential areas for deeper healing in your life. For example, the Record Keepers speak about letting go of the need for external validation, the importance of not interfering in others' healing processes, and the practice of unhooking yourself from painful thought forms.

As spiritual beings in human bodies, we can sometimes get caught up in the illusion of 3D reality. Bills must be paid, kids must be driven to school (or educated at home during a pandemic!), cars must be repaired, and dinner must be cooked. We also have to interact with others and navigate a chaotic world. In this process, we can get lost in material reality and forget to stay connected to a Higher Perspective.

In this episode, I talk about how you can disengage from the illusions of 3D reality and reach for the higher truth of any situation or experience. This requires you to reconnect to Divine Source over and over again. Finding the higher truth means becoming more aware of what your Soul would say about any situation or challenge you're facing. As you do this, you expand your perspective and shift to a more hopeful, joyful, supported, and empowered state.

In the words of Joseph Campbell on the labyrinth as a mythological symbol:

"We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us — the labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."

In this episode, I explore the labyrinth as a metaphor for the healing path, with its winding detours, distractions, obstacles, and victories along the way.

I talk about some of the key places and figures you'll encounter inside the labyrinth including the Dead End, the False Teacher, the Spiritual Advisor, and the Sanctuary.

Join me for this traversal through the labyrinth -- which we ultimately never walk alone.

Expecting the healing path to move in a linear fashion can set you up for frustration and disappointment. A more accurate metaphor for the healing path is a spiral or labyrinth, with lots of detours, roadblocks, and shadows that come up to be healed along the way.

In this episode, I share specific tips for dealing with setbacks on your healing path -- starting with the importance of redefining the word "setback" itself. This discussion is also helpful if you're experiencing a healing crisis or feeling a sense of dejection, confusion, impatience, or frustration with where you are on your healing journey.

Do you often find yourself trying to please everyone to keep the peace? Does conflict - or even the idea of conflict or disagreement - send you into a tailspin? Do you rely on others' praise and approval to feel ok about yourself?

If so, you might be stuck in a pattern of people pleasing and approval addiction. In this episode, I talk about where these patterns and behaviors often originate and how early childhood conditioning can set you up to people please as an adult. I also discuss the Fawn Response, the automatic response to trauma beyond fight, flight, or freeze. Finally, I share some suggestions for starting to move beyond these deeply engrained patterns, one step at a time.

Are you a healer or spiritual entrepreneur trying to grow your business and get more clients? This episode is for you if you've connected to your Divine Mission and that Mission includes healing, being of service, transmuting energy, anchoring light, or serving as a catalyst for transformation.

In this episode, I propose a new way of doing marketing that does NOT revolve around hustling, endless to-do lists, tricking, high-pressure sales tactics, or creating a false sense of urgency. Instead, as healers, we must think about marketing as making ourselves MAGNETIC to our ideal clients using ethical, aligned, powerful marketing strategies in full integrity with our spiritual values. It's time to elevate our marketing models and no longer do "business as usual."

I call the path of the spiritual entrepreneur an "incubator for accelerated healing." This is because ALL of your stuff comes up on this path: your fears, resistance, triggers, self-doubt, self-sabotage, old wounds. And more!

This episode takes a behind-the-scenes look at the path of the spiritual entrepreneur and examines some of the intense fears and triggers that come up along the way. I draw some parallels between this path and the Fool's Journey (in Tarot), given that running your own spiritual business requires tremendous amounts of faith, trust, and the ability to take risks.

I also share why I think it's so important to become your own boss and create your own economy in light of recent world events.

Using the language of astrology as one of her tools, Megan is committed to helping others gain profound self-knowledge and a greater understanding of the world around them and their place within it.

In this interview, we talk about the practical, day-to-day uses of astrology and break down the myth that astrology is overly complex and that we need to study for years before we can actually make use of it.

I'm sure you're familiar with the voice of fear within you (we all have it). This is the voice that tells you you're not good enough, things will never work out for you, you'll never make enough money, you're stupid, it's not worth trying anything new, etc, etc. (Such a tyrant!)

But do you also recognize within yourself the voice of Divine Genius? This voice is also referred to as the voice of Higher Self, the voice of your soul, your inner knowing, your inner Goddess.

In this episode, I talk about the INNER CONFLICT that's created when the voice of Divine Genius and the voice of fear within you are locked in a struggle. I also offer advice on how to turn up the volume on your voice of Divine Genius so you can move beyond old patterns, release your fear, and go for the things you actually want.

Dear listeners, welcome to the very first episode of 2020! A new year brings with it new possibilities, as well as the invitation (or challenge) to let go of old stories about yourself and create a new reality where you fully embody your true essence and core self. That's what this episode is about: how to no longer live to meet others' expectations or to make other people happy at the expense of your own needs, dreams, and desires.

This new year, I wish you the courage to be yourself - even if that means disappointing someone along the way!

During the episode, I mentioned Tara Mohr's wonderful book, Playing Big.

There's always a gap between your desire and the manifested outcome of that desire -- we may call this the "mystery" between manifestations. As humans, we often find it challenging to reside in this mystery, which is why we give up on our deepest desires before they've had a chance to manifest. In this episode, we dive right into the mystery and I offer some strategies to become more comfortable with it. Ultimately, being comfortable with the mystery will allow you to call in what you want faster and with less resistance than ever before.

As humans, it's almost impossible for us not to feel emotions like anger, fear, resentment, frustration, and disappointment in certain situations. These are low frequency emotions because they emit and attract lower vibrations than emotions like love, excitement, and joy. In this episode, I talk about how you can deal with low frequency emotions when you feel them, particularly in relationships. I also discuss the concept of the emotional pain-body, how this pain-body becomes activated, and how you can work towards making your own pain-body less reactive.

In our modern world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to take time to rest, slow down, do one thing at a time, and connect to something bigger and more expansive than ourselves. In this episode, I explore how you can reclaim your ability to slow down to find the deeper meaning in your life. We'll talk about the importance of finding and following your own natural rhythm, rather than being carried by the frantic pace of dominant culture.

I discuss Abby Seixas' work and book, Finding the Deep River, in this episode.

In Clarissa Pinkola Estes' classic book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, "wild woman" is an inner source of power and strength for all women. She is wise, courageous, nurturing, and connected to the cycles of nature and the moon. Wild woman can help us set healthy boundaries, say "no" and say "yes" from an authentic place, protect our space and energy, and align with our deepest longings and desires.

In this guided meditation, you will journey to meet and connect with your inner wild woman in her forest cottage. You will ask her three questions and receive clear guidance to help you take your next steps or make an important decision in your life. Enjoy the journey!

Robert Augustus Masters defines the term "spiritual bypassing" as a collection of behaviors and beliefs through which we use spirituality to avoid life. Some of these behaviors include anger-phobia, boundaries that are too strict or too porous, emotional numbing, and over-detachment from life.

When we engage in spiritual bypassing, we trick ourselves into believing that we're healing and working through deep issues, but we're actually only staying on the surface of what's really going. In this episode, I invite you to explore the key behaviors of spiritual bypassing so you can move beyond them into deeper, more transformative, and long-lasting healing.

Masters' book can be found here: Spiritual Bypassing.

In this episode, I explore how you can move from a state of chaos (in your health, finances, relationships, career, or any other idea) to a state of greater stability, both internally and externally. I discuss what external chaos might represent in your life and how we sometimes use chaos to distract ourselves from fulfilling our divine missions. I also offer a few suggestions for cultivating a greater sense of stability and groundedness in your life.

Robert Augustus Masters' book, which I mention in this episode, is called Spiritual Bypassing: When Spirituality Disconnects Us From What Really Matters.

This episode is my interview with speaker, author, and writer Karly Randolph-Pitman on the concept of the inner rebel. The inner rebel is that voice or energy that pops up from within you when you try to make a change, take a risk, or work on healing yourself in a deep way. The inner rebel might sabotage your efforts, derail your progress, or get in your way when you try to improve yourself or your life. Learn how to work with - rather than against - this inner rebel, which is ultimately an important and valuable part of yourself.

In this episode, I explore how working with law of attraction material can sometimes evoke feelings of self-blame, guilt, and shame in us, leading us to question, "How could I create this reality for myself?" I discuss some of the limitations of law of attraction theory and how to best use this approach without beating yourself up or victimizing yourself.
