Ep. 106- How to Actually Connect With Your Spirit Guides (And Trust What You Receive)

Your spirit guides know where you struggle to trust yourself. They know when you’re likely to dismiss something as your imagination, convince yourself you wanted to see it, or stop receiving before the message has fully unfolded. Recently, one of my clients connected with three of her spirit guides for the first time. But when we brought in her main guide, he appeared one way to her and completely differently to me. It looked like we were receiving conflicting information. We weren’t. Her guide was intentionally showing each of us something different because he knew exactly what she needed to finally trust that the connection was real. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened and what it reveals about the way your own guides may communicate with you, including: Why a guide may change the way they appear How your guides work with your individual doubt Why their appearance is often symbolic How to recognize the energetic signature of different guides Your guides are already communicating with you. The real work is learning how your energy receives them and trusting what comes through. This is the work I help you do inside AWAKEN and my one-on-one mentorship. We don’t just talk about spirit guides. I help you understand exactly how your intuition flows, connect with your guides directly, and develop a relationship with Spirit that you can trust.

Empaths are often some of the most intuitive people, but their ability to feel energy can also make their intuitive guidance harder to understand. You may feel someone’s emotions, notice sensations in your body, see a color, or experience waves of energy and assume that is the intuitive message. But the feeling itself is not always the message. Sometimes, it is simply the knock on the door letting you know there is something there to explore. In this episode, I explain the difference between empathically absorbing energy and receiving actual intuitive guidance. I also share why you need to understand your own energetic signature before you can clearly recognize your intuition, your spirit guides, or someone else’s energy. We talk about: How empathic abilities can blur your intuitive messages Why feeling energy does not always mean it contains guidance What I mean when I call empathic sensations “door knockers” How to recognize your own energetic signature Why some intuitive people receive messages randomly but struggle when they intentionally try to connect How I transformed my sensitivity into one of my greatest skills as a spiritual teacher and healer Your sensitivity is not the problem. You may simply need to learn how to clear what is not yours, recognize your own energy, and then open the door to the message underneath the feeling. AWAKEN begins September 21. This four-week live group mentoring experience will help you understand how your intuition uniquely flows, connect with your spirit guides, clear your energy, and confidently break down the messages you receive.

What if you are receiving guidance from your spirit guides, but overlooking it because it seems too simple? We often expect Spirit to give us an elaborate message or reveal the entire path ahead. But most guidance comes through one clear truth, one next step or the same message repeated until we finally do something with it. In this episode, I’m breaking down why simple messages can be the most profound, how trust and playfulness strengthen your connection and what to do when the guidance you receive feels vague or incomplete. We’ll talk about: • Why you may be missing the messages your guides are already giving you• The difference between struggling with connection and needing to strengthen the technical side of channeling• How to ask better questions and pull apart a message for deeper clarity• Why taking action on guidance helps you receive more• The role trust, curiosity and even fun play in developing your abilities Your connection does not need to look dramatic to be real. Sometimes the message you keep overlooking is the exact one that can change everything.

AWAKEN starts 9/21- Channel your Spirit Guides & 4 weeks of live group mentoring: AWAKENJULY2025 Your spiritual awakening isn’t only asking you to open your psychic abilities, receive signs, or connect with your spirit guides. It is asking you to remember who you are. In this episode, I share the deeper purpose behind developing your intuition and why this work is not reserved for people who want to become psychic readers, mediums, or healers. Your intuition is first for you. It helps you understand your energy, hear the parts of yourself you have silenced, recognize what is and isn’t yours, and become someone who no longer abandons herself when life feels uncertain. Because your spiritual awakening isn’t trying to turn you into someone more spiritual. It is leading you back to the truth of who you have always been. Inside this episode: • Why developing your intuition is about more than giving readings• How your beliefs and unhealed wounds filter spiritual guidance• Why knowing yourself is essential to trusting yourself• How energy work can help you stop carrying what isn’t yours• What it means to allow your soul to lead your human life AWAKEN begins September 21. This four-week live experience will help you understand your energy, discover how your intuition uniquely flows, develop your psychic abilities, connect with your spirit guides, and receive guidance you can trust and apply to your life.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what spirit guides actually are, how they communicate with you, why certain guides may feel closer during different seasons of your life, and why struggling to hear them does not mean they’ve abandoned you. I’m also sharing my own experiences of developing a relationship with my guides, including the guide who appeared during a pivotal point in my healing work and the moment my guides told me my nursing department was going to close days before it happened. We’ll also talk about the difference between your higher self and your spirit guides, how to recognize a guide’s unique energetic signature, why your emotional and energetic state affects your ability to receive, and how to ask better questions so you can receive guidance you can actually use. If you want to move beyond simply feeling Spirit and begin building a conscious relationship with your guides where you can receive, understand, and trust what comes through, this episode is for you.

You know you're intuitive. You receive random knowings, feelings, images, signs or messages when you're driving, falling asleep or just going about your day. But the second you actually need an answer? Nothing. In this episode, I'm sharing what I worked on with several of my clients recently who were experiencing this exact problem and the techniques I use to help them move from randomly receiving intuition to consciously accessing it. We'll talk about why trying too hard can actually create resistance, how to use your body and energy to become more receptive, why curiosity is one of the most powerful states for intuitive connection, and how to begin recognizing the unique way intuition wants to flow through you. Because you shouldn't have to sit around waiting for your intuition to randomly speak. You can learn how to meet your body, open your energy, move into your heart and receive the guidance that's already available to you.

Inner child work isn't just about going back into your childhood, digging up painful memories, or figuring out everything your parents did wrong. It's about understanding a part of you that is still very much alive. The part that creates. Desires. Plays. Follows an impulse. Expresses itself before asking, "But what will everyone think?" In this episode, I'm breaking down inner child work in a completely different way and showing you how your inner child can become a symbolic mirror for the unconscious beliefs, fears, and programming affecting the way you show up today. We'll talk about creativity, intuition, self-expression, fear of judgment, and why becoming the safe, grounded adult for yourself may be one of the most important pieces of actually following what your soul is asking you to do. Because healing your inner child isn't only about healing your past. Sometimes it's about finally giving yourself permission to become who you're here to be.

What if you're not blocked from Spirit at all? What if your body is simply trying to protect you? Your intuition isn't separate from your body. In fact, your body may be the very reason you feel disconnected from Spirit. So many people believe they need to meditate more, develop their psychic abilities, or wait for a bigger sign. But after working with hundreds of intuitive women, I've noticed something different. When the body doesn't feel safe, it becomes much harder to recognize the subtle ways Spirit is already communicating. In this episode, we're exploring the powerful connection between your body, emotional safety, and intuitive guidance. I'll share why your body can unintentionally block Spirit communication, the signs to look for, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to receive the guidance that's been there all along. If you've ever wondered why your connection to Spirit feels inconsistent, this episode may help you stop questioning your gifts and start understanding what your body has been asking for.

Most people think intuition is something you sit back and wait for. After working with thousands of people, I've realized that's one of the biggest mistakes I see. In this episode, I'm sharing why intuition isn't simply about receiving messages—it's about learning how to initiate a relationship with it. We'll explore the difference between initiating and receiving intuitive information, why your natural intuitive flow may look different than someone else's, and why waiting for signs could actually be keeping you stuck. If you've ever wondered why your intuition feels inconsistent, why you struggle to hear your guides, or why the usual advice hasn't worked for you, this episode will give you a completely new way of understanding how intuition actually functions.
