The twelve days of Yule were a special winter celebration in ancient Europe, of which some traditions and symbols have been adopted by our modern day Christmas. Starting at dusk on the day before the Winter Solstice, the twelve days of Yule represent the twelve months of the year - saying goodbye to the year that has passed, and inviting in the year to come.
In this episode, Gemma discusses how these days are celebrated, and what crystals can perfectly accompany and honour them.

Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, is an author, intuitive tarot reader and energy alchemist.
During her Saturn Return, Rebecca lost "everything" - her marriage, her dear friend and mentor, her high powered career, and literally all of her money. The tarot became an accessible and powerful tool for Rebecca, that allowed her to connect to her true self and access her intuition. Rebecca began pulling a card a day for herself, then reading for friends and former colleagues, and slowly transitioned out of the fashion world to provide energy and tarot readings full time.
Rebecca’s new book, The Saturn Diaries, reveals how she transitioned from fashion bitch to wellness bitch. Part Memoir and part grimoire (or spell book), each chapter concludes with a spell, elixir or ritual she created on her healing journey of discovery and self-remembrance. This book is a call-to-action for anyone ready to embrace their inner witch and create their own magic.
In this episode, Gemma and Rebecca discuss Rebecca’s origin story and her alias, Cardsy B, how different tarot cards relate to the chapters of Rebecca’s book, Rebecca’s self-illustrated tarot deck, and how Rebecca’s psychic abilities developed and evolved during this period of her life.

To end our deep dive into the topic of 'Evolving from the 3D to the 5D' Gemma is joined by her old podcast co-host Rachel Drysdale. Rachel is going to come along at the end of each month to help Gemma sum up that month's content and answer any questions our listeners might have.
This month though we start by hearing about the launch of Rachel's new Spiritual Sanctuary, Fire and Alchemy in Central London. She kindly shares what it is like to work on such a big project, the ups and downs of the process and what her plans are going forward.

This week we progress the topic of 'Moving from a 3D to 5D frequency' so we can look at where you are now and where you might be heading to next.
In this episode Gemma highlights that we experience these energies and dimensional shifts as an emotion. To help navigate this, she talks through the 'Map of Consciousness' research by David R. Hawkins which maps our emotions through the frequencies they give off.
She then explores what it might look like to be living a 3D, 4D or 5D lifestyle and the physical and emotional reactions we can experience when raising our vibration.

In today's episode, we hear Tara Jackson detail how important the Chakras are in the growth and development of our businesses, as well as our personal development as business owners.
Taras' unique coaching style focuses on the Chakras as a tool to help us understand our areas of strength and weakness. Her business, Empathpreneurs also uniquely focuses on supporting empaths. Tara helps those who believe they are an empath to understand their unique gifts and shows them how they can create successful businesses around them.
In this interview we explore what an empath is and how you might know if you are one. She outlines how the Chakras can be used as a business tool and how some of the obstacles that can hold us back, like imposter syndrome, money blocks and procrastination can be supported with the chakra teachings.

Even those in the Spiritual Industries need to consider 'cultivating an aftersales experience.'

With Beltane celebrations happening last weekend, the energies of the hot, summer months are well and truly building. When that happens we can often feel our own energies increase, including an increase in willpower to achieve our goals. Therefore it's a good time of the year to realign our energies and welcome these more productive energies.
In this month's circle, we do just that so take a moment to engage with these positive energies and dream about what you could achieve this month.

Welcome back - Hear about our next crystal event all about Lemurian Seed Crystals. Then Gemma gets to finally tell you about the launch of the Higher Self Business School.
This is a place to support those with holistic modalities who want to create a successful practice that will support them and their families. The Soul Student Podcast is going to support this by offering more and more advice for those in or wanting to join the holistic, wellness and spiritual industries.
Then Gemma focuses on today's topic, creating the perfect Meditation Class. Most people understand meditation is a profound practice to understand, However many still highlight how hard they find it. A well-structured class can captivate the attendees and take away those problems. Today's episode explains just what that might involve.

We finish our series of intuition episodes with a practical demo so I can show you the process I use every day to content to my intuition for guidance on running my business (including social media guidance).
The meditation exercise will take about 20 minutes this time but as you become more practiced you will find you can connect quickly and receive information right away.
The meditation starts at the minute: 16.25
What you need:
Our intuition episodes are coming to an end and as they do Gemma wanted to explain in more detail how you can access this innate tool to help you succeed in any big projects you might need support with. As someone who loves talking about all things business, Gemma naturally uses starting a business as her example but as she progresses you will see the same process can be used for any project.
Today Gemma talks about the practicalities of using your intuition for guidance. Next week she will then guide listeners through one of her favourite techniques to connect so you can do it yourself.
In this episode, Gemma also talks about her future plans for both a Mysteries School and Holistic Business School that will help people launch successful modality-based businesses.
For many people connecting to their intuition plays out as a new idea or inspiration that can drop into our heads at an unexpected moment. When we get that message we take it at face value and don't ask any further questions. However, as an Intuition Coach Gemma knows the guidance can go much deeper.
She coaches her clients to create a two way conversation with their intuition so they can regularly ask more in-depth questions, receive guidance on the way a project is going and even ask for more insights on why things are playing out in their life the way they are. In today's episode, Gemma is going to explain how this is possible.
More people seem to think they are not intuitive than those who think they are. This is interesting when our' Gut Instincts' are a natural disposition all of us are born with, so what is going on?
In this episode, Gemma explores what she thinks might be happening. From those who were told at a young that Intuition was just too 'woo woo' and shouldn't be done. To the idea that the fast past lifestyle of the twenty first century means we are just too stressed to access our Higher Self.
If you believe 'you are not intuitive' then this episode will guide you through what is going on and how to overcome it.
Spring is here. A time to wake up from our winter slumber and start really focusing on the goals you want to achieve this year.
A Chakra Balance is a way of preparing your energies for the months ahead. In this circle Gemma guides you through her favourite Chakra Balancing meditation. Giving you a chance to release anything that no longer serves you and instead allowing you to maximize your energies.

The movie industry suggests intuitive guidance comes in the form of visions or voices from above. For some (not as many as we think) this can happen but for the rest of us, messages from our Intuition can come in some interesting, less expected ways. Gemma highlights all of them in today's episode.
The Clairs:
Leading health and performance coach, Gerry Hussey, talk to Gemma about the launch of his first book 'Awaken Your Power Within'.
In his international bestseller, Gerry tells an open, honest and mind-blowing story of self-discovery that takes us inside the heart and mind of a young boy who dared to ask deeper questions about the mind and soul. Bringing together insights from psychology, neuroscience, gut health, quantum physics, mindfulness and philosophy, his book shows us how we can break free from limiting and self-destructive habits so that you can live your truest and most powerful self.
In today's episode, Gerry shares how he went from a young seven year old boy contemplating suicide to a Sports Psychologist who has worked with some of our best known sportspeople and Olympians; and how he now shares his powerful insights, spiritual teachings and tools as a spiritual coach and leader. The Irish Times called Gerry '...Irelands Equivalent of Eckhart Tolle' and after listening to this episode you just might agree.

As a sign of respect, we didn't launch Monday and Wednesday's episodes this week, but it felt right to offer a circle that allows you as a group to connect to the Angels and send that healing energy out to the Ukrainian people and those you personally want to honor and send support.
We hope you enjoy this heart-opening moment. Gemma will be back next week.
Sending love worldwide.
Trying to be 'Everything to Everyone', often means you end up supporting no one as people don't understand when and why they would need your services. A successful business sends out a message that is directed at their ideal customer and their unique needs and wants. This is often focused on supporting and solving a problem that particular customer has.
A clear message like this comes from pinpointing a Niche for your business. This is a specialty within your industry you work within or a unquie way you present your offering which sets you apart.
Today Gemma explains why a Niche is so important and highlights the different ways you can find yours. Here are some of the methods she suggests:
Explore the following questions:
What do you love doing?
Gemma also suggested exploring the following methods to develop your Niche:
When choosing to connect to your Intuition there are a variety of different energies we can converse with. In this episode, Gemma explores all the options, what kind of messages they might offer and when you might seek their guidance.
She starts by exploring how different areas of our bodies can offer us useful teachings. This includes the more familiar 'Gut Inctincts', as well as the Heart Space, Womb and Third Eye. Gemma then speaks about how we can communicate to our Higher Self, the part of us that has lived many lives, and offers guidance on connecting to our Spirit Guides, Angels, the Elementals and our Ancestors, as well as Mediumship work.
The episode ends with her highlighting how the tone and content of a guided message will help you know for sure if you have connected to your Intuition or if it is a message from the Left Brain. (Don't worry after listening to this episode you will easily know the difference).
How your business presents itself visually creates an important first impression. Businesses understand that the right branding will attract their ideal customer, while at the same time explaining what you do and even giving them an idea of what you would be like to work with.
Today, Gemma enjoys a like-minded chat with Rad Creative owner Jodie Elliott. For many years Jodie has supported Gemma in creating physical, digital and product graphics for her businesses. Together they outline why a Graphic Designer is such a good support for any new business.

Sometimes the lessons learned from life's obstacles can become our Soul Purpose. In other words, the skills and experiences we gain when going through these difficult times are so unique to that life event, we might later realise how perfectly positioned we have become to support others going through similar things.
Today Gemma speaks to the truly inspirational, Caron Sanders-Crook, who was determined to create a positive out of a partially difficult time for her and her family. She talks through the complexity of supporting a loved one with PTSD and how her personal experiences naturally morphed into, firstly a book offering support to people like her; then a collection of Children's Books aimed at helping adults approach and navigate these complex conversations with children.
Caron also explains how she successfully weaves her holistic modalities into her Social Care work and the effects that has.

In today's episode, Gemma reminds us all that our intuition can use numerous ways to send us messages. If we are not sure what they are, some messages could be easily be missed but hopefully after this punchy, informative episode, you will never miss those mini signs from the universe again.
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, why not honor yourself this year and take a moment to relax and focus on your self-care.

Let's start 2022 by exploring the crystals that would best support your goals in the year ahead. In today's episode, Gemma works through the different Chakra Colours and their correlating crystal colours to help you better understand your current crystal needs. At the start of a New Year many people create a vision board depicting what they want to achieve that year. This dynamic action activates the Law of Attraction and Law of Intention. Another way to do this is to bring into your life the crystals that hold the frequencies of the goals you are working towards.
Gemma also talks about the crystals that have been found in the past few decades that are with us now to support our global goals as we move from 3D to 5D.
Book Launch Update:
Due to current global issues, The Crystal Apothecary is now launching on Thursday 13th Jan. Giving you a little longer to preorder your copy.
How to Preorder your copy & be invited to the Book Launch Party:
January is the perfect time to allow ourselves to pinpoint just what we want the coming year to bring. Taking time to dream big and identify just what we want to manifest gives us a chance to tell the universe what we desire, activating the Law of Attraction and helping us make those dreams a reality. Therefore how perfect is it that our first circle of 2022 is on the 1st January!
Gemma will guide you through the relaxation process, opening the circle and then inviting you to imagine your dream life. The aim of this session is to unearth anything that might be holding you back from your dreams so you can understand and move forward in a more successful direction.
The circle starts at the minute: 9.10
Note: Gemma's book, The Crystal Apothecary, is now launching on the 13th Jan. Follow this link to preorder/order.
What you need for the Circle*:
Crystal Suggestions: Citrine, Rutilated Quartz, Pyrite and Green Jade

We finish the year by speaking to one of Gemma's Mentors, self-confessed Starseed Katherine Louise Jones. In today's episode, Katherine expands our knowledge on this topic, helping us to understand what it is to be a Starseed and how it is relevant today.
In her coaching practice, Katherine helps her clients progress through their spiritual awakening, supporting them in making positive changes, that naturally raise their vibration and help them realise their Soul Purpose.

Today we move away from Starseed topics so Gemma can explain the technique that she puts in place with her coaching clients to help them achieve their goals quicker. In essence, this involves reviewing and healing past wounds (in this life or past lives), while putting new habits in place today so they can reach those future goals.
