146: How to Trust and Surrender When Life Feels Uncertain

Welcome back to another episode of It's F*cking Spiritual! Today, I’m joined by Sky Cowans, a YouTuber and content creator with a massive following through her channel, Sky Life. Sky is an explorer of the wellness, spirituality, and alternative lifestyle worlds, and she’s constantly pushing boundaries to bring her audience fresh, unique perspectives on conscious living. As someone who tries all different healing modalities, from darkness retreats to witchy spells, I was excited to chat with Sky about the craziest experiences she's had in the wellness and spiritual industries. She opens up about the experiences that have changed her perspective on humanity and having an open mind. She even shares about her wildnest episode visiting a Satan worshipper in Mexico (seriously, we get into it y'all!). We also dive into how to get started as a Youtuber or content creator, and how to stand out in a world full of noise online. If you're aspiring to build an online brand or creator content, I have no doubt that Sky's wisdom and heart-centered approach will inspire you to go for your dreams in your own life. Ready to feel inspired to live with more intention, curiosity, and alignment?

Y'all, this is one of my favorite episodes to date (that's why it's TWO full hours!). Get ready for a WILD ride. Today I sit down with Aaron Abke, a spiritual teacher of the Law of One. We dive into the nature of consciousness, the teachings of ancient wisdom, and how our chakras are a mirror to the dimensions of reality. Prepare to have your mind blown. Growing up a pastor's kid, Aaron has been on his own journey of deconstructing religion and rebuilding a spiritual belief system through The Law of One. He shares his own mystical experiences and even gets me to share a super tender story about my own Kundalini Awakening (that I've NEVER before shared publicly!). You'll get to watch me piece together parts of my story in real time as Aaron reveals to me a new frame for what I had experienced. (I have a feeling it will make you feel deeply seen and accepted if you've ever feel "weird" for being "woo"). If you're ready to chat science, ancient wisdom, aliens, reincarnation, and how to "graduate" from Earth School... this episode is for you. Buckle up, it's a wild ride! I have no doubt you'll want to replay this episode many times. If you're interested in diving deeper into Aaron's teachings, explore his Youtube channel below with nearly 300k subscribers.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by my friend and fellow coach, Ashley Gordon, on her podcast, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you all here. It’s a different vibe when I get to sit on the other side of the mic and dive deep into my own story, sharing parts of my journey that I don’t always talk about. We discussed everything from how I first woke up to self-development and became a coach, to what the behind-the-scenes process of creating my dream life actually looks like. This episode is especially powerful if you're considering becoming a coach or just thinking about taking that leap towards any big goal or dream you have. We talk about the fears and doubts that inevitably come up—yes, even for those of us who’ve checked off those big goals on our vision boards—and how to move through them. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s a reminder that the journey to your dreams doesn’t look perfect, but it’s worth every step. I hope this conversation leaves you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to trust yourself on your own path. ——————Join CONFIDENT COACH ERA Free Masterclass October 30th - November 2nd https://www.quantumcoachco.com/cce?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=rachel-gibler&utm_campaign=jan25-cce-live Connect with Ashley:Instagram: @thequantum.coachWebsite: quantumcoachco.com —————— RESOURCES: COSTA RICA RETREAT May 2025 Application:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfD12s2FZrTPcLLS2Ugm3yBUNE-LQrPHoG2Tb5GrKit04FHJQ/viewform  Join the Waitlist for EXPAND Somatic Embodiment Group Coaching Program: rachelgibler.myflodesk.com/expandwaitlist FREE MEDITATIONS:Higher Self Meditation: rachelgibler.com/meditation-freebieBody Scan Meditation: rachelgibler.myflodesk.com/bodyscan Take the FREE Manifestation Tool Quiz: bit.ly/IFSmanifestationquiz Enroll in MANIFESTATION UNIVERSITY – On-Demand Self-Paced Course: rachelgibler.com/manifestation-university FREE Journal Prompts: rachelgibler.myflodesk.com/55journalprompts —————— Connect with Rachel:Podcast: It's F*cking SpiritualInstagram: @rachelgiblerTikTok: @rachelgiblerYouTube: Rachel Gibler

Welcome back, to another solo episode of the It's F*cking Spiritual podcast! Today, I’m sharing a little life update and diving into a topic that is alive for me right now—the process of letting go and stepping into a new version of yourself.I’ve been on this spiritual journey for seven years, and let me tell you—there’s never a time when you fully “arrive.” The deeper we go, the more we evolve, and sometimes that means facing the discomfort of dying to our old selves over and over again. I’m right in the middle of that process now, and in this episode, I’m sharing what that looks like for me, the grief and growth it brings, and how you can navigate your own transformation with grace.If you’re feeling stuck or like the life you desire is just out of reach, this episode is for you. We talk about practical steps to reverse engineer your goals, embody the habits of the person you want to become, and hold space for the feelings that come up in the process.I’m walking this path with you, and I’m here to remind you—you’re not alone.
