I Woke Up Like This: Recent Episodes
Julie Elizabeth Day
This is a podcast for spiritual exploration and human support. You’ll find interviews with teachers & seekers who geek out on the expansion of consciousness while learning how to love and embrace the challenges of being human. You’ll find stories about the messy, and often painful waking up process… and the light found on the other side. You’ll also find regular Prayer Trips, which are affirmative journeys into the heart of remembering what is really true, and letting go of all that which is not.
You won't find dogma here. And, you definitely won't find a kind of spirituality that asks you to be perfect. You will find conversations that encourage authenticity, dynamic soul-growth, and learning how to love ourselves and our world a little bit more than yesterday.
For this Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, we are afforded an extra boost in letting go of our old stories and outdated beliefs. This eclipse will bring extra emotion around this story, it could feel extra painful or agitating to carry it one day more. In this Prayer Trip, we will lay it down, let it go, and access our Highest Truth. And, if you're listening to this at a later date, please know the teaching and the prayer are still 100% supportive for your letting go.

Hello Friend! Welcome to this Full Moon in Scorpio Prayer Trip where we're gonna pray it UP for all the changes that I know are rippling through your life right now. Change can be scary, change can bring up all the fears... AND... change is FOR YOU and never against you! It is taking you TO all that you desire, not away from. I give some astro details on all the waves we're surfing right now, however, this episode is relevant whenever you happen to be listening. If change is UP for you, this prayer can help you feel more powerful, connected and ready for your change!

Hello friends! What is growing you these days? What is pushing your buttons, what is challenging you to know something greater for yourself or for your life? Whatever the details, the root is a journey from FEAR to LOVE. That's the Earth game! In this episode, I walk you through this teaching, I give you some journal prompts to help you step out of fear and into love, and then I end with a simple prayer that you can pray any time, to call in help and support for your very own curriculum. (And, you got this! <3)

In this Prayer Trip, I go over the energies of the New Moon in Aries (April 11th) and then launch into a teaching on the power (and courage) of surrender. What do we do with our deepest desires? Get rid of them? HECK NO! You hold them as holy and you SURRENDER the outcome to something higher. This allows our desires to bloom in their highest form.... greater than we even imagined was possible!
Are you listening after April 11th? No worries! The teaching and prayer is still relevant and potent any time you desire to lean into the energy of surrender.
New to Prayer Trips? Prayer Trips are equal parts affirmative prayer & guided journey of remembering, helping you to align more powerfully with who you are and what is fundamentally true!

Hello Friends! My last episode was THREE MONTHS AGO! Holy smokes! In this important update, I let you know what's been unfolding in my world, and I give you updates on what to expect in the upcoming season of... "I Woke Up Like This." Yup, yup... changing back to the original name ;-) Ooooh, 2020, you were so interesting on so many levels. Much Love to you all!
Join me for a spiritual pep-talk on the following truth: every prayer is answered. Yes, your deepest prayer is already answered. Your most genuine longing is answered. How is this possible? How does this work? I walk you through this spiritual principle, share a story from my own life, and then we dive into a Prayer Trip to anchor this truth in our own awareness. LOVE YOU!
You are safe to trust! In this time of chaos and confusion, take a moment with me to remember who you are and whose you are... and that you are safe to trust your inner promptings, no matter what. *Also, please know that the podcast name & graphic changes next week. Look for, "Practical Mystics' Podcast"! :-)
Feeling lonely, unworthy, and devastated by a break-up, Actor/Musician Martha Boles tried to fix the pain through alcohol. It only brought temporary relief, and she eventually bottomed out. After receiving a DUI, and the subsequent meetings she was required to attend, she started to find meaningful answers within. Through sobriety, stillness, and a deeper connection to God, she found true connection, peace, and a more loving sense of self. And she's still finding it!

Inspired by Teri Wade's share, Julie takes you on a Prayer Trip to embrace whatever heavy, itchy emotion you might be experiencing. You will feel held and safe to feel what you are feeling, while knowing that something greater is emerging.
Prayer Trips are equal parts affirmative prayer and guided journey.
In this episode, Mindset Coach, Teri Wade, shares about a time in her life when she was alllll about positive thinking and Law of Attraction. A journey to the Amazon Rainforest, and a sacred ceremony deep in the jungle, smacked her sideways and revealed the spiritual by-passing that was actually going on. She was shown the limitations of “positive thinking” and the potency of embracing both the light and the dark aspects of the human experience. This singular awakening shaped her entire career, inspired her recently published book, and has helped her serve clients from all over the world in embracing their human-ness.

In this special Lunar Eclipse Prayer Trip, Julie takes us on a journey to claim our own inner integrity. Where are you divided over an issue? Where are false beliefs hiding out as love? How can you be made whole? How can you claim your highest truth and come into full alignment with that truth? Even if you catch this after the astro, this is still a potent prayer for integrity and wholeness.

Skip Jennings returns to share an exceptionally heart-centered meditation on Social Justice. "This meditation invites us to have an honest conversation about racism, separation, and how we can begin a healing process. Our willingness to sit, be still, and contemplate is a call to action. We might not know what to do during this time of dis-ease, but we feel the need to do something. Healing begins with self, and this meditation helps us to feel, deal, heal and ultimately reveal a higher conscious way of life. Blessings and Namaste, Skip"

We have a Full Moon in Scorpio 5/7, the Nodes just switched signs 5/5, and we have THREE retrogrades happening next week. Whew! Even though that might sound hardcore, it’s actually a lighter chapter in this year’s astrology.

In this episode, Psychic & Life Coach Michele Meiche shares how a big awakening came in her 20’s, when she was visited by a team of guides that were ready to support her onto her life’s path. They gave her information, told her clients that would be coming to her, and what she was to share with them… and essentially shepherded her into her life’s work. But she had to give up the life she had known as an international model, and be willing to not only trust what she was hearing, but to follow it as well!

She awoke way more attuned to her guides, hearing messages as if they were right next to her, and a distinct knowingness that life was about JOY above all else.
