Today, we’re talking all about cancelling negative thoughts, but before we get there, I have a little PSA to share!!

As a thank you for listening to my podcast, Energetically Speaking (which has a new episode every other Monday), I’m sharing these audio notes with you as an extra special thank you for believing in me!!!

You basically have me in your back pocket as a little Monday morning pick-me-up. 😉

AND (surprise, surprise), I’m building a community of soul-aligned women who are ready to release their old identity and limiting beliefs, and step into that new identity, whatever that identity looks like for you.

When you subscribe, you also get an immediate add to the group chat! You’ve got full access to me to ask questions about mediumship, mindset work, coaching, the subconscious mind, being a mom, being a wife. Whatever it is, I want you to ask away!

Okay, okay. Getting into the juicy stuff now.

How do you cancel thoughts?

We also get into the subconscious programming that can quietly keep you stuck in an old identity, why becoming someone new often requires releasing what your current identity is holding onto, and how I began recognizing that all of the seemingly different pieces of who I am — medium, mindset coach, student of the mind, and future speaker — don’t have to fit neatly into one box. You can become the niche.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What embodiment actually looks and feels like

• My journey from hiding my mediumship to fully owning that part of myself

• How taking one small step can create a breadcrumb trail toward an entirely new identity

• Why subconscious programming can keep you from becoming the person you want to be

• Recognizing the beliefs and patterns running underneath your conscious thoughts

• Releasing old identities, emotions, and experiences that no longer fit where you’re going

• The moment cutting my hair made me feel like I had stepped into an entirely new version of myself

• Working through imposter syndrome when your passions don’t seem to “fit” together

• Why you don’t have to choose one niche when you are the niche

• Using the things you loved as a child to reconnect with the feelings that light you up

• A simple embodiment exercise to start becoming your future self today

Journal prompt:

Ask yourself:

What is one micro action I can take today to become the person I see myself being?

Take one step at a time and allow for the path to unfold in front of you. The key here is – you have to actually do the action. You have to take the step.

And if you don’t know who that future version of you is yet, go back to what lit you up as a child. Think less about what you wanted to be and more about how it made you feel. Journal about that feeling, follow what comes up, and see where it leads you.

Design Your Ideal Day: Use my template to design your ideal day—the day of the version of you who has achieved the success you want. This exercise will help you become aware of the things you need to start doing to become the person you want to be. Get as specific and detailed as possible. Make sure you make a copy so you are able to edit yours.

Imagine my face as I’m recording content for social media, hair and makeup done, mid-video, in my flow state, when I get a drop-down notification from Facebook Messenger that my ex-boyfriend wants to send me a message… ten years after I broke up with him in 2016.

Our relationship was nothing shy of tumultuous. I was 18 and he was 22.

I was a recent high school graduate, and he was facing prison time for numerous charges.

And this is that story.

I’ll set the scene for you: It’s May 2016, and I just graduated high school with absolutely no idea what I’m doing with my life.

My hair drops to my lower back in long curls. I’m wearing short ripped denim shorts, a cropped T-shirt, and a leather choker with a pearl in the middle (iykyk). Closer by The Chainsmokers is blasting through the speakers, and I’m driving my red Mustang GT to a graduation party, probably somewhere in the middle of a field (ahh, to be a high school kid in the Midwest).

When I get a text from a guy I had been secretly crushing on (the story is messy, we don’t need to go there), wanting to meet up.

Naturally, being an 18-year-old with no fully developed frontal lobe while simultaneously thinking I knew everything about life, I said yes.

But there’s another part of who I was at 18 that matters to this story.

In late 2015, I began to experience an eating disorder, which eventually turned into full-blown anorexia. I had lost about 75 pounds, and I finally felt confident and comfortable in my clothes. What was even more appealing was that I was getting attention from sooooo many people. Attention that I never got before.

I was obese my entire life, so you can imagine going from 220 pounds to about 150 pounds as a senior in high school was pretty… intense.

I can still remember how hungry I felt during the day and how much I shamed myself into not eating. I was so proud of how I finally looked that I wouldn’t dare allow myself to gain any extra weight. In my head, the numbers on the scale could only go down.

So when that day came in 2016, when I got a text from a guy I thought I could fix, I agreed to hang out.

Here’s the thing about me at my core. I love endlessly. I am an incredibly intense person when it comes to love. I used to think this was a fault of mine, to love people so much and so endlessly, but I slowly came to realize it was a superpower of mine. But when I love someone, my son, my husband, my friends, my family, I love with everything I have. And I will protect that love at all costs.

I went on a date with this guy, which led to another, then another. I slowly immersed myself into his world, and I did a lot of things I’m not proud of.

I thought I was in love. He was my first boyfriend, and he was so good with his words (the first red flag because he was a master manipulator). We would go cliff jumping at this beautiful local lake. We spent every waking moment together that summer.

Summer 2016 was incredible.

It was bliss.

Until it wasn’t.

I woke up this morning with a pounding headache (a result of me not drinking enough water, I’m sure) because I don’t want to take my creatine. I don’t want to take it, even though it makes me feel better, because I get really puffy, and I look heavier than I actually am.

And as I sit here wondering, “Why do my looks matter more than my health and feeling good?” I realized that this is something we are all facing in some way. In some way, we are all avoiding taking our literal or metaphorical creatine because we are so worried it will change our exterior worlds, even if we know it will benefit our inner worlds so much more.

For me, I know within a couple of weeks I will start looking less puffy, but I stopped taking it because I have to talk on camera, and I couldn’t get past how I looked in my interviews.

In fact, I interviewed a dream guest of mine on my podcast the other day. I was so excited and nervous, yet I couldn’t wait to talk to her and have her on.

We had an amazing conversation. We talked about so many things, from reprogramming your subconscious mind to how to foster and grow your children’s subconscious minds, to the science behind manifestation, to running an eight-figure business. It was incredible, and she was an incredible guest.

Once the interview was over, I was so excited and proud of how it went. I went back and watched some of the video.

Do you know what the first thing I thought was?

“Look how puffy and big I look. This whole video is ruined now.”

I’m getting emotional as I sit here and write this because I have the conscious awareness that I am not defined by my weight or my appearance, but I’m also emotional because I believed something as trivial as my puffy face had ruined the whole interview.

That interview was with an incredible woman who has had extraordinary success and someone I look up to in the work that I do around reprogramming the subconscious mind.

She has transformed so many lives with the work she does, and she has helped thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people reprogram their subconscious minds for success.

It was not lost on me that the very interview where I was so worried about my external appearance was with someone who has taught me incredible and powerful tools to help reprogram those beliefs.

And I didn’t freaking use them.

Why didn’t I use them?

Because I did what so many of us do, even if we don’t realize it.

I let my thoughts win.

Looking back, I told myself, without even realizing it, that I shouldn’t do the subconscious work because it wouldn’t work anyway, so why try?

Now keep in mind, this is literally coming from the same person who has seen firsthand and experienced herself the power of this work.

So why in the actual fuck did I not do the work?!?!?!!!!!!!

I’ll be honest with you, it won’t always be easy, but the payoff far outweighs the risk of not taking action.

If you know me, you know I’m a spiritual girly. I love all things woo, but I also LOVE the science behind why the woo works.

My work is literally rooted in energy work. I’m a psychic medium, and I use energy channels and frequency to connect to the spirits of people who have passed on to wherever we go when we are no longer living in this physical world.

I have to be so consciously aware of my energy and where my frequency is to be able to do the work I do. It takes a massive amount of energy to be able to channel, and I wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t have the proper tools, but also if I hadn’t done the shadow work to be able to free up the extra energy to channel.

So how does this have anything to do with how you can be magnetic and attract whatever you want in life?

It’s because it’s energy.

You are energy, the couch you’re sitting on is energy, the things you want are energy, and the emotions and feelings you emit are energy.

Everything is energy, which means everything operates at a specific frequency.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Okay, I’ve heard all this before. I already know this, so what could you tell me that’s any different than what everyone else is talking about?”

People talk a lot about what manifestation, energy, and spirituality are, but not a lot of people explain how they actually work and what you’re missing.

I’m going to fill in those gaps for you.

Step 1: Awareness

Before you do anything, and I truly mean before you do anything, the very first thing you need to do is become aware. Awareness is the very start.

You need to become aware specifically of your thought patterns and the stories you are telling yourself.

When you say things like, “I can’t do this. I don’t have the ‘it’ factor. I will never be able to make money like other people do. I can’t speak very well, so I can’t post on social media. I don’t have the right clothes,” you are just confirming the programs and conditioning that were installed into you at a young age, specifically between the ages of 0–7.

When you can become aware of the negative thoughts and programs you are telling yourself, you actually open up your energy and consciousness more because you are becoming more aware of your reality and the present moment.

So just by being aware of your negative thoughts, you are already creating a lasting impact on your life.

Step 2: Your Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind runs about 95% of your life. From the time you wake up in the morning to the time you go to bed and then into your sleep, your subconscious mind is constantly running programs that were installed into you at some point in your life.

These can be exceptionally helpful at times. For example, you probably learned at some point in your life how to tie your shoe. Now you can do it without thinking. Or more beneficial examples would be digestion, breathing, and blinking.

Could you imagine if you had to consciously say, “Okay, breathe, now blink, breathe, digest my food, okay, pump my blood, WAIT, REMEMBER TO BREATHE.”

You’d be freaking exhausted.

The role of the subconscious mind is to preserve energy for the body. That’s why we are only consciously aware of about 5% of our life, because the rest would take a TON of energy.

But what happens when the program is not in our favor? Let’s say the program is, “Money is too hard to make, and I will never get out of debt.”

You will still run off that program until you change it.

But how do I change it?

Well, if you are an adult over the age of 7 (which I hope you are), there are two ways to change a program.

1. You need to get into a theta brainwave state, typically through hypnosis (not stage hypnosis, I’ll explain in a sec).

2. Habitual repetition.

Let’s start with Part One: hypnosis.

“Isn’t this where you put people on stage and tell them to bark like a dog?!”

Although stage hypnosis IS a form of hypnosis, it’s only for entertainment. And people aren’t selected randomly. They are specifically chosen based on how hypnotizable they are, and the hypnotist knows this. The people who are exceptionally susceptible to hypnosis are the ones who remain on the stage, and they are always in control. Their subconscious mind typically just wants to please what it’s being told to do.

This form of hypnosis isn’t scary, and it’s not for entertainment. It’s actually a deeply healing and valuable tool that I truly believe should be accessible to everyone.

When you are awake during the day, you are typically in a beta brainwave state. As you fall asleep at night, you go from beta to alpha to theta to delta. Theta is the state at which you aren’t yet asleep, but your conscious mind has essentially stepped aside, and your subconscious mind is wide open and susceptible to commands.

We are only in theta for a few minutes before we fall asleep, so it’s easier to get into a trance-like state to embed empowering commands into our subconscious minds while we are awake.

To put this into perspective, I hypnotize myself quite frequently. I pre-record a script with the commands I want to embed into my subconscious, and then I play it back to myself.

I will embed commands like feeling confident, rewiring money blocks, locating emotions and feelings and past trauma in my body (not to relive, but to release), attracting clients, and more.

Hypnosis is essentially a deep trance or meditative state. It’s a completely natural state that we go into ourselves. We’re just intentionally putting ourselves into this state to be able to embed those positive commands. I utilize hypnosis and energy work in my coaching sessions with my clients. You can find out more about working with me HERE.

Part Two of this step is habitual repetition (habits +routines).

The book Atomic Habits by James Clear is an excellent resource to learn more about habits.

The idea behind the book is to take small, micro actions toward your goal instead of trying to do it all in one day. This is because the subconscious mind likes predictability and patterns. When you repeat something over and over and over, the subconscious begins to deem it as important and will create a program based on this pattern. Hence the term, “When neurons in the brain fire together, they wire together.” When you create a program, you’re creating new neural pathways in your brain. When you stop using a program, it will stop firing.

Think of it this way.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Use it or lose it”?

The same applies here.

If you don’t fire the neural pathways, they will eventually weaken over time and, in some instances, cease to fire.

When using habitual repetition as a way to rewire your subconscious, it’s important to remember that if you still have those negative programs running in your mind that are deep-rooted, it’s essential to do some form of shadow work to release those patterns. The longer the program has been running, and the deeper rooted it is, the more work it will take to reprogram.

If you only try to change your life by willpower alone, it won’t work. Trust me (I’ve tried).

Willpower comes from the conscious mind, and the subconscious is where the imagination lives. If our subconscious is responsible for 95% of our life and our conscious mind is only responsible for 5%, which do you think will come out on top?

Step 3: Shadow Work

Shadow work (or inner work/inner healing) is an essential part of this journey. All those repressed emotions, feelings, and traumas that are living inside of us are taking up SO MUCH ENERGY, energy that you could be using toward the life you want to live.

I will never dismiss or downplay trauma and traumatic experiences that a person goes through. Much of the work I do is rooted in trauma sensitivity. When I first began my journey as a medium, I took two courses in trauma awareness and sensitivity so I knew how to work with a client who may be experiencing trauma or be re-traumatized in some way. I wanted to know the right thing to do in a situation like that, but I also wanted to know how to prevent re-traumatizing someone at all costs.

Science has shown that trauma can actually live in the DNA for up to 14 generations. You may even have trauma living in your body that you actually haven’t experienced in this lifetime.

It is essential to release those feelings and emotions out of your body to be able to attract what you want in life.

Emotions and feelings are energy. And when they are living negatively in the body, you are giving your energy reserves to those emotions. And when you are constantly living in a negative, dysregulated state, you will experience in the outer world what you are feeling in the inner world.

Getting out of the “victim” mindset is going to be crucial for this journey. When you’re living in the victim mindset, you view everything in the outside world as something that is trying to personally attack you. What you’re doing without even realizing it, is villainizing the things you do want.

It can feel daunting and scary at first, but from my own personal experience, I have never felt more free than when I released those feelings from my body. Journaling, meditation, and walking in nature are all excellent starting points when you are beginning shadow work. I used to roll my eyes at journaling and thought to myself, “Okay, what am I supposed to say here? Dear diary?” But I’ve come to find it so incredibly cathartic because I can release the things I don’t want to hold in my body any longer. If you don’t like writing, you can use the Voice Memos app on your phone and record yourself talking. The main goal here is to just get it out.

We tend to chase material things that we hope will make us feel the way we want to feel in our body.

It’s never actually the physical thing we are chasing, but the emotional response it will give us when we get it. If you don’t first find the feeling that you are searching for within yourself, you will constantly chase it in your external world. And when you’re constantly chasing, you are living in lack.

When you find those feelings that you are looking for within yourself, the things you want in life will naturally start flowing to you because you are now operating at the same frequency. You are no longer blocking your energy, but allowing energy to flow through you instead. And you free up an incredible amount of energy to be able to use toward the goal that you are actually trying to achieve.

Which takes me to:

Step 4: Your Frequency

Your frequency is one of the key components of attracting what you want in life. I’m going to use the diagram below to explain:

Your emotions carry a frequency, and you can feel it in your body. When you feel emotions like shame, guilt, embarrassment, anger, and frustration, your energetic frequency is so low that you are closing yourself off to all opportunities and possibilities that are around you.

I like to think of these emotions as tunnel vision. When you feel them, your body naturally starts to hunch over, your shoulders slump, and you might look down. Your nervous system is dysregulated, which is now scattering your energy, and you are completely out of balance in your body. When we live in a constant state of dysregulation and low frequency, we begin to manifest the things we don’t want into our physical world, and sometimes into our physical bodies in the form of disease.

When you are in a higher-frequency state, you naturally start to open up to the world. You can feel your body loosen, and you begin to feel lighter. When you are in a higher emotional frequency like gratitude, love, and joy, you begin to attract physical things that match that frequency.

But what if you are constantly in a state of anxiety, depression, debt, or an abusive relationship?

Your subconscious mind keeps you in those places because they’re familiar to you. Even if it doesn’t make logical, conscious sense, your subconscious is trying to keep you safe. Remember? It likes predictability. When things like money being hard to achieve, your abusive boyfriend blowing up, a constant state of anxious thoughts constantly plague you, it’s not because anything is wrong with you. It’s because your subconscious mind thinks that leaving those circumstances and stepping into the unknown is scarier than the predictability.

Step 5: Be. Do. Have.

The people who teach you about manifestation on social media unfortunately leave this part out, and this is a HUGE key factor in achieving whatever you want in life.

Most people, when they are trying to manifest, try to go in the order of Have, Do, Be. They think if they have the goal first, THEN they can be the person who achieved the goal.

100% of the time, this will not work. If you don’t first become the person who achieves the goal, you won’t be able to maintain being the person who achieves the goal, meaning: if you don’t first let go of the beliefs, identities, and stories you tell yourself, you will still be searching for those feelings even if you achieve the goal.

You’ve seen it happen several times. People win the lottery, then blow all the money because they never learned how to BE someone who managed all that money. Or you’ll see people go viral on social media, then constantly try to chase that feeling of being seen again.

You have to embody the version of yourself that you see achieving the goal well before you actually achieve it. I like to do this by activating my Million Dollar Mind (subscribe for more on how to activate your Million Dollar Mind). If you don’t first embody the person who has everything you want, you will constantly search for an answer that only exists within you.

So here’s your formula for becoming magnetic and for success in achieving whatever goal you are hoping to achieve.

The Magnetic Formula

Awareness + Shadow Work + Reprogramming + Frequency = Magnetism

1. Become consciously aware of your unconscious thoughts, and you will automatically become more aware of the present moment.

2. Write down all the stories you tell yourself about why you can’t achieve your goal and become consciously aware of the negative programs you are running off of.

3. Use shadow work and energy work to release old programs and emotions at the root cause, and program in new ones using hypnosis or by creating habits. I utilize hypnosis and energy work in my coaching sessions with my clients. You can find out more about working with me HERE.

4. Embody the person you want to become BEFORE you become that person. You can read more about this in this article:

Listen to me when I say, you are WAY more powerful and capable than you believe yourself to be. You are a creation of Source, God, Creator (whatever higher power resonates with you), which means you exist on the same plane as infinite possibilities.

You just have to shift your energy to start noticing those possibilities. Once you do, you’ll be amazed by what shows up for you.

Whoever said, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” hit the nail right on the head.

I have spent the past months, if not years, trying to figure out who I am and how I can help people.

I’ve always known I’ve wanted to help people in some way, but it always felt like my skill sets were like the three points of an obtuse triangle — in different places, as far apart from the other points as possible.

It was like the things I was good at could never coexist because I thought they were so different from each other.

For reference, I’m a psychic medium — but I also love the science behind how things work. I love facts and tangible proof, and I’m a highly skeptical person, which you would think would be counterintuitive to being a medium — a practice that relies solely on the unknown while connecting to the spirits of people’s loved ones who have passed on to the other side.

For months, I was listening to people on social media say, “Pick a niche. You need to be known for one thing only. You have to go all in on this one thing and be really good at it. Niche yourself down. Be specific.”

I would change my Instagram bio about once a month to a new title of who I thought I was, only to realize it didn’t feel right in my body.

I would constantly compare myself to all the people I looked up to because they somehow figured out their niche. Whether they were manifestation coaches, mediums, psychic mentors, or mindset coaches — I started to get so envious of people for being able to find their niche.

And I was only getting more and more frustrated with myself.

I started to stress over it to the point where my chest would get so tight, and I would start to panic like I was running out of time. Like someone was going to steal my niche if I didn’t hurry up and figure out who I was and claim it first.

I thought I knew who I wanted to be, but then I wouldn’t know what to talk about.

“I’ll only talk about mediumship!” Well, then that narrows down the number of people I want to reach because I also want to talk about mindset.

“I’ll be a mindset coach and talk about the science of mindset!” Okayyyyyyy… but how do you casually throw mediumship into that category?

“I know, I know!! I’ll be a medium and a mindset coach!!” Well, how are you going to be a coach one minute who helps people find the answers that are already within them by being a mirror and then switch to telling them messages that are coming through from the other side for their highest good?

When I say the friction in my body that I constantly felt was a 100/10 trying to figure out who I was — I mean it was ONE HUNDRED OUT OF TEN.

I wasn’t just frustrated, I was flipping mad. Like clenched fists, red-faced, angry at the world for not giving me an answer to who I was meant to be, MAD.

I felt like I constantly had to choose a part of myself and leave another part out. Like I couldn’t fully show up 100% as me because some parts of me didn’t belong.

One day, after another failed attempt at trying to decide who I wanted to be, I had a lightbulb moment go off.

I heard someone in a course I was taking at the time say she doesn’t like to box herself in, so she talks about all of her interests in a way that fits the bigger theme behind what she does.

I thought, “Okay, okayyyyy, I can work with this.”

What was the bigger theme behind who I wanted to be?

Commence the brain dump into my journal.

I wrote down everyyythingggg. What I liked, what I didn’t like, what my character traits were, what I did to help people, the feelings I wanted to create inside people when I helped them, the momentum I helped them with, the clarity, the resources, the love, the guidance, the teachings. I wrote down all of it. Every emotion I felt, every idea I had, every title I had given myself.

Everything.

My pen was on freaking fire and I actually think the paper started smoking at one point.

It was like all of the jumbled-up mess in my head broke through me like a busted dam.

It took lots of writing and brain dumps, but I started to see more clearly the overarching theme of everything I was interested in.

Energy.

It was all energy work. All of it. Mediumship, mindset, coaching, being a mom, sharing on social media, writing a Substack.

It was all energy work.

I don’t know how I didn’t see it before — I mean, my lord, the name of my podcast is literally Energetically Speaking, and I named it that because the intention behind that name can mean so many different things to so many people, and it embodied everything I did.

I was in such a dysregulated and constricted field of energy that my tunnel vision was too severe. I couldn’t see the answer that was literally slapping me in the face… repeatedly… EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Once I understood my theme, it was like the pieces just started to click together. I felt so much lighter.

And the second I stepped into an expanded energy state — the ideas started to flow.

The path started to build itself brick by brick in front of me.

All I had to do was take the brick that was handed to me and trust that it was the right brick for my path.

I felt a push to start writing on Substack — one of my first posts just hit over 50,000 impressions.

I felt a nudge to change my podcast name from The Ultra Aligned Podcast to Energetically Speaking — I just interviewed one of my dream guests in mindset work on the show last week.

I felt a calling to talk about mediumship more on Instagram — I booked three clients in a week.

The second I decided I was the niche, the path showed itself.

And as soon as the path showed itself, I began taking little intuitive micro-actions to get me to where I wanted to be.

And as soon as I started taking micro-actions — I knew what to call myself.

A Spiritual Coach, Medium, & Speaker.

Because those three things embodied every part of me.

But the real truth is, it never mattered what I called myself. It was the intention and the energy that I set behind the words.

So, the bigger question now is — how can you become the niche to find out who YOU are supposed to be?

There are multiple steps to this equation, and I’m going to start with the first and most obvious one:

Step 1: Stop trying to fit yourself into a box that was never meant to contain you just to be more digestible to a larger crowd.

You are a limitless and expansive being who knows no bounds and has access to the quantum field of infinite intelligence — so why the hell are you trying to wrap yourself up in a neat little box with a pretty red bow on top and deliver yourself to people in a way that’s too nice and digestible?

You are not a vanilla ice cream.

You’re a fucking sundae.

Let me guess — you decided to dive head first into a spiritual journey only to realize that you actually have no idea how to manifest, what the hell a past life regression is, or how to ask, let alone recognize, signs from the Universe.

Yep, I’ve been there.

Going through a spiritual awakening is no easy feat, and a lot of the time, you feel so alone and isolated while going through it — wishing there was someone or something to help you through the chaos.

I’ve been there, lying in my bed at 3 a.m., contemplating the world, what matters, what doesn’t, and thinking, There has to be more to life than this.

When I started noticing the power of manifestation and working with the Universe, my spirit guides, my loved ones, and my own personal blueprint (Human Design), I noticed how much more fluently I moved through life.

I still experienced the highs and lows of life just like everyone else, but the way I moved through life became so much more fluid, like water flowing down a bubbling brook instead of a hurricane sweeping through southern Florida at 120 mph.

My nervous system became so much more regulated. I started gaining clarity. I started healing the parts of me that deserved my attention, and things just started to click into place.

There is this misconception with spirituality, manifestation, universal laws, mediumship, etc.

It can get this stigma that it’s too woo, too witchy, or too out there, but truthfully, it’s just like anything else in this world (and universe).

It’s energy work. It’s all energy.

Manifestation is simply aligning your energetic frequency with what you desire.

Spirituality is simply living in accordance with life.

Mediumship is connecting energetically with loved ones, your spirit guides, angels, and your higher self. And all of those things are...

energy.

When I say everything is energy, I’m not being woo. I’m not being sarcastic or trying to spin you a load of BS.

Scientists have been studying energy and the effects of energy on every aspect of life for centuries at this point. It’s no secret that we are all made up of tiny protons, neutrons, and electrons buzzing about their day.

So when we talk about your great spiritual awakening, wouldn’t it just make sense that you are awakening to the power of energy?

Alright, come on. Let’s dive in.

In this episode of Energetically Speaking, we’re diving into one of the most frequently asked questions: How do I actually tell the difference between intuition, fear, anxiety, and instinct? You'll learn why your subconscious mind often disguises fear as intuition, how intuition actually communicates with you, and practical ways to strengthen your ability to trust yourself.

We'll also talk about why following your intuition doesn't always lead to immediate validation, how even life's hardest seasons can be guiding you toward your highest good, and why learning to trust yourself is one of the most powerful things you'll ever do.

If you've been second-guessing yourself, overthinking every decision, or wondering whether you're truly hearing your intuition, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• A simple exercise to begin recognizing your intuition

• How to make decisions without letting fear take over

• Why intuition doesn't always lead to immediate results

• How signs and synchronicities can strengthen your trust

In this episode we are sitting down with Maxine Friend, an internationally known psychic channel who has been reading professionally for over 17 years. We dig into what she calls the energetic ecosystem, the auric field and energy each of us carries, and how becoming more aware of it changes the way you move through your day. Maxine breaks down why she believes we're all born intuitive, how your body has its own language for communicating with you, and the simple daily habits that keep your energy clear enough to actually hear it.

We also talk about the courage it takes to trust what you're sensing, especially when it means making a real change in your life. Maxine shares her own path, from a steady tech career to building her practice one careful step at a time, and what she's learned about telling real intuition apart from everyday anxiety. If you've ever wanted to understand your own energy better and actually trust what it's telling you, this conversation is a good place to start.

In This Episode

•  What Maxine calls the energetic ecosystem, the auric field of energy we all carry, and why it pulls in close when we're afraid and stretches out when we feel safe, a simple framework for reading your own energy day to day

• Daily rituals you can use to protect your energy – a sea salt shower after a hard day, why cleaning doubles as grounding, staying hydrated, and the meditative state she steps into before every session

• How to tell a real intuitive hit from plain anxiety, including the book of proof practice Maxine swears by, writing things down before they make sense so the pattern reveals itself later

• Maxine's own path to trusting her intuition, from a steady tech job to almost five years of building her practice on the side, a real look at what it takes to make a big change safely instead of leaping all at once

Maybe the problem isn’t having all the answers or doing everything right.

Maybe the problem is feeling like deep down you don’t feel seen.

Like you are 1 in 7 billion who is completely out there by yourself trying to create a life that 90 year old you would be proud of.

When in reality — we all want the same thing.

To feel equal.

To feel loved.

To feel seen.

If you’ve ever listened to me talk about life, you have probably heard me talk by now about the ebbs and flows. The highs and the lows. The integration periods and the action periods.

These phases of life aren’t new to me, but I had to become aware of them to begin to recognize them. This became exceptionally helpful for me when I was in an integration season of my life. You know the ones — where nothing seems to be moving the way you want it to and you feel like life is exceptionally tough.

As a mother to a two-year-old, we also have those phases where our littles just need us a little extra. Wearing all the hats is really hard. It’s even more difficult when you are still trying to figure out who YOU are on the inside.

Recently, I just went through one of the biggest integration periods of my life.

As someone who speaks, coaches, teaches others how to navigate these times in life — I was being put to the ultimate test to see if I would act on what I preach. To see if I would lead by example and do the very thing I tell others to do…

To look inward and find out what part of me was still clinging to my old identity, and what part of me was too scared to embody my new one.

I had to let go of an old identity. One that I was clinging to for dear life, because without it, I had no idea who I would be.

And that scared the shit out of me.

For months, I was so stuck in life that I felt like I would never move forward. I was scared, lonely, lost, confused, frustrated, angry at the world for not giving me what I wanted.

I manifested, I took the training, I put myself out there on social media, I made an offer, I built a website, I had the pictures taken, I relaunched the podcast, I did everything I was supposed to do, and yet — nothing.

When I tell you I was mad at the Universe — I don’t just mean I was over here like, “Ugh, I’m so frustrated!! You were supposed to show me a sign today!!”

Oh, no. I was f******* mad.

Screaming, crying, raging. Angry at the world, angry at myself, angry that people weren’t booking with me, angry that my website didn’t look the way I wanted it to, angry that other people were succeeding and moving forward and I wasn’t.

I was quite literally spiraling at my core.

If you were on the outside looking in, you wouldn’t notice it at all. I was still happy at times, I spent a TON of quality time with my son during this time because I knew he needed it but I needed it too.

But in my head, a storm was raging.

It was all I could think about. It was quite literally taking over my life.

Your outside life is a reflection of what’s going on, on the inside — and this was exceptionally true for this time.

I was arguing with my husband more. I would snap at the smallest inconvenience. I was so frustrated with my animals that I didn’t want to spend time with them. My house was a mess. I refused to do the laundry. I would scroll endlessly on social media searching for an answer. I was eating the worst foods for my body and gaining weight. I hated eating the foods I was consuming, but it was like I wanted to punish myself for what I was going through. For not having it all together.

Everything around me set me off — including my love for learning.

And as it turns out, my love of learning was the exact root cause of my outbursts. I just had no idea it was.

Avoidance is one of the clearest signs there is to know that there is something there you need to look at.

And I was avoiding everything.

I avoided meditation, journaling, self-care, daily chores. Anything and everything I could reasonably or not so reasonably avoid — I was avoiding it.

Finally, one day I had enough.

I told myself I could not continue this way. So, I sat myself down and I made myself look inward.

I told myself I had to stop treating myself this way. I had to ask my shadow self what was going on. I had to find the part of me that was expressing itself so clearly at this time.

So I sat down, I got my journal, I closed my eyes, and I asked the part of me that was causing all of this anger and frustration to come forward.

Dear God, did she come forward.

When I say this part of me was enraged, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what was going on.

She was flipping irate.

Parts (or sometimes referred to as your shadow side) will appear to you sometimes as versions — but they can also look like anything. I’ve had parts appear to me as a dinosaur, a demon, a shadow, a statue. Usually, if they appear to me as something like this, that usually means they are showing me a version of how I feel — and that’s just the symbol that the subconscious used to describe it. Parts don’t have to make sense at first, it’s just important to listen to them and not judge them.

This part of me was transforming so fast I couldn’t quite understand what she was trying to show me. She was me, then she was a dragon, then she was a wall, then she was flashing lights. It was happening so fast I could hardly register it.

She was also calling me every name in the book. Horrible names, names I would never call myself, but she screamed every single one of them at me.

I knew immediately that this part had been surfacing all this time without me realizing it, and I had begun to act like this part was acting.

That’s the tricky thing about parts or your shadow side. Sometimes we will act on a part that is coming forward and we just assume that’s who we are at our core.

This is not necessarily true. All parts make up the sum of you, that is correct. But we all have a core part or a higher self. This part is who we are at our core. Our creative whole self.

The part that was coming through for me was a protective part. I could tell by how she was acting and what she was saying to me. She called me so many awful names that I could feel her hatred spewing out of her mouth. But after years of therapy and working with parts and my shadow self — I knew not to take this personally. I also knew my higher self loved this part no matter what.

So I let her vent. I let her scream, I let her shout, I let her call me every name she felt she needed to. She was screaming so hard at me that my chest physically started to hurt like I was the one screaming.

This went on for so long that I was struggling to even get a word out to her or even organize my thoughts.

Finally, after what felt like hours, she stopped.

She was so tired.

And she finally revealed herself to me.

She was me at 15 years old.

At this time in my life I was overweight, I didn’t know who I was, I struggled to make friends, my parents were fighting constantly, and I was in love with a boy who didn’t see me.

I was so alone.

Yet I felt like I wasn’t allowed to feel that way because on the outside looking in, we had everything we needed. We were financially stable, my mom had a nice car, we always had food on the table and a roof over our heads.

I felt like I was never allowed to complain because I had more than most children had in our community. This knowledge was never lost on me though. My parents, even through some of their faults, always made sure my sister and I knew we were more fortunate than some and taught us from a young age how important it is to give back to those who needed it.

But at that time, I had so much anger built up inside me, I had no idea I was still carrying it to this day.

I began to look at this part — this girl. Really look at her. And I knew she just felt alone.

So, I began the process of healing — and I introduced myself to her.

“Hi.” I (my core part/higher self) said to her. “My name is Claire. I’m 28 years old now. We have a beautiful son named August and an incredibly loving husband named Kane. We live at our dream house, we have horses in our back yard. We have our dream horse, a Clydesdale named Leo. We are so excited about this journey we are on and all the new exciting things to come.”

I told her I was an adult now, and that I was in charge of my feelings, thoughts, and emotions now and that she didn’t have to manage it all on her own anymore.

Then I asked her, “Can you share with me what’s going on? Why did you feel so sad and angry?”

And that’s when she told me what she had been holding onto all those years.

“I’m so sad all the time. I don’t want to be at school and I don’t want to be at home. I only ever want to be with the horses. I don’t like the way I look but food is the only comfort for me. I want to have real friends, I want to have a real love.” (Teenagers, am I right?) “And I just want to feel safe in my body and in my environment.”

We talked for a very long time until finally, she let me see who she was protecting. The part of me that she was keeping so locked up away from the world that we had to travel through endless dark tunnels to find.

In my body, this was in my sacral chakra, or my pelvis/reproductive area.

This came as no surprise to me because of the amount of health issues I have had in my life involving my uterus/ovaries.

When we arrived, I asked the part of me, the 15-year-old me, if she trusted me to see who she was really protecting.

She paused, but she was ready. She was so tired, but she was ready.

She had to unlock a huge safe. It was so dark and musty, but on the inside — the light that came out of it shone so bright it was almost blinding.

Inside, was a newborn baby. Only minutes old.

It was me.

And that’s when I saw it. What had been happening for generations.

What had been passed down from one line to the next.

The fear, anxiety, pain, trauma, and beliefs that were put all into this little body.

Way more than any human body should have inside — let alone a baby.

When I was born, I got sick shortly after. My mother said I wasn’t really eating and I lost a ton of weight. I was fine — but from then on I was always the sick kid. Chronic illnesses, injuries, surgeries — the list goes on.

I was also a highly anxious child. From my very first memory on this Earth — I can remember being anxious.

From the first day of Kindergarten to about the last day of 3rd grade — my mom would drive me to school every morning with a bucket at my feet so I could throw up in it before I walked in the school doors.

When I saw this part of me, the newborn me, I knew instantly why I was seeing her. I knew in my bones that I was being shown this version of me to tell me that it wasn’t anything I did wrong. I was born with generations of anxiety and trauma embedded into my DNA.

Shadow work/parts work doesn’t always have to make logical sense. Most of the time, in my experience, it doesn’t.

But the way I feel afterwards is always the lightest and most at peace I have truly ever felt.

Once I had this understanding that these events were literally embedded into me, I knew it was time to let it go.

So, I turned to the protective part of me, now the 15-year-old me, and I asked her if she was ready to let go of all this pain that she was carrying. And all the pain that this little baby was carrying too.

I could tell by how tired she was that she was ready. So, together, we let it go.

We let go of all the trauma, all of the events leading up to this very moment in time. All the pain, the anger, the frustration, the sadness, the feelings of longing for someone who would never see us, the pain of wanting to look or be a certain way, the fear of never being enough.

We cried together, and we let it go.

Together, we decided on a new role for this part. This is an important part of parts work/shadow work because it gives that part of you a purpose.

So, we decided that she would be a leader. She would help all the other parts feel heard, seen, and validated. She would also let me know if any other parts were feeling unheard or unseen.

We agreed to work together to create more balance and unison within ourselves, and then we said our goodbyes.

But here is the most important part — I told her I would come back to visit her and whenever she needed me, all she had to do was ask. I looked at her one last time, and said goodbye.

When I say goodbye to a part of me, it’s never final, but I do like to do something very special. I take a mental image of the part, and I close the door. I take that image, a Polaroid image for me, and I put it in a very special box that I keep tucked inside my heart.

If you are new to parts work or shadow work, this might all seem a little woo or out there, but the really interesting part of this is it doesn’t need to make sense at all. Your subconscious mind speaks in symbols and metaphors and it shows you whatever it feels like it needs to in order to explain the feelings or emotions that are coming up.

If a really traumatic event happened to you when you were younger with another person that hurt you, your subconscious mind might show that person to you as a monster or a demon or something scary that represents what you felt and experienced at that time.

It doesn’t have to make logical sense because our logical thinking is conscious — we are working with the unconscious side. The shadow side.

The following days after I connected with my shadow side, I started immediately having so much clarity, and received so many new downloads and understandings.

I said at the beginning of this post that my love of learning was the root cause of this specific time.

After my shadow work, I received the download I knew I needed.

I have been feeling lately like I’m not an expert, like I don’t know enough. I was ready to step into this new identity, but I didn’t know enough to be that new identity. I felt like I knew a little about a lot when it came to understanding the subconscious mind, manifestation, shadow work, energy work, etc. But every time I would go to share what I had been learning, I would stop. I would freeze and my mind would go blank.

I was getting so mad but also embarrassed because I felt like an imposter. Like I was telling all these people I knew what I was doing, but on the inside I didn’t feel that way at all.

That’s when I understood.

In my new identity, and in every new identity that will come for the rest of my life, there will always be something new to learn. Something new to understand, to develop, to share.

I had gained all the knowledge I could in my old identity, and my new identity needed me to learn new things. To continue my education.

I had been feeling so embarrassed and ashamed that I didn’t know enough to realize that that was the whole point. It was time to level up and continue to expand my knowledge and awareness.

Only a few days after I went through this shadow work, I immediately booked three sessions after weeks of nothing.

Things started to flow again.

You see, we are always learning and growing.

Continuing your education is such an important and crucial part of growing because in every new phase of life there is something you will need to learn — a lesson, teachings, understanding, experience — in order to be able to move on to the next phase. You will then use what you learned in the old phase or identity to be able to support yourself and others in your new identity.

This is an infinite loop of leveling up.

When you understand that in every low of life there is something to heal, to explore, to feel, to understand — you will better be able to support yourself when you begin your ascent into the highs.

Even in grief, those feelings and emotions demand to be felt. In the readings I have done for people who have lost a partner, a friend, a child — they never move on, but I have seen people allow themselves to feel the pain of grief and begin to move forward again.

I always say, you are never moving on from losing someone, you are moving forward with them in a different way. It may not be in a physical way with them here on this Earth, but they are always with you.

I know why shadow work can be so hard for people to do. It’s because we don’t want to experience that pain again.

If pain put the memory or the event in us, it takes pain to get it out. Humans are designed to want to avoid discomfort. We don’t want to experience it. But the longer those feelings, events, traumas are left inside us — the more long-term hurt it causes.

I have been doing parts work/shadow work for several years at this point — and I have noticed that the more I do it, the more free I feel.

I started to love myself in a way I never could have imagined. All of a sudden the green of the trees looked a little more saturated. The warmth of the sun started to reach all the parts of me. I started to feel something I had never experienced before — I felt whole. I felt like I belonged to myself.

Healing never ends. We are on this Earth to experience all that life has. The love, the pain, the heartache, the laughter.

We have hundreds if not thousands of parts that want to be seen and that will continue to come up over the rest of your life.

But what I have noticed is that the more you acknowledge the shadow side of you and just allow yourself to feel what’s coming up — the greater the sense of freedom and love you will feel within yourself.

You start to clear out everything that you no longer need to carry, and all of a sudden you have so much more room for your dreams and hopes and desires to come into your life.

No one is stuck forever.

But you have to be willing to explore why you are stuck to be able to move forward to create the life you dream of having.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Manifestation isn’t about declaring - it’s about believing in the unkown. 

•  Your thoughts and identities literally shape the opportunities you notice and attract. 

•  “Impossible” outcomes can show up in unexpected, indirect ways. 

•  Long-term desires can manifest years later when belief is sustained. 

•  Evidence of manifestation changes your entire perception of reality.

My purpose.

I’m a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a medium, and so much more. But I struggled daily to understand how I could serve the world.

Where did I fit in? How would I use my mediumship abilities? Who would I serve? How would I support them? Did they even need my support? Who am I to decide I can do more?

Question after question would ring through my head, and I felt like I was stuck on the hamster wheel of starting, trying, failing (or so I thought), quitting, and starting again. I kept getting frustrated because I was doing my best to manifest my dreams and goals into reality, but I kept feeling like I was falling short and I didn’t know why.

I just felt lost, stuck, and isolated. I loved my life, but I wanted more. And I was scared to ask for more. I didn’t think I was allowed to ask for more. I had so much I loved about my life already. Was it too greedy to ask for more? Would that make me a bad person? So I asked the universe for help, a sign, guidance, anything. I just hoped it would answer me - but I also had no idea what I was looking for.

Until the day I had a friend tell me about a mindset certification program she took based on NLP tools and techniques called The Yes Supply Method. I didn’t know it in that moment, but that was the day the universe answered me and said, “Girl, here’s your opportunity. Take it and turn it into magic.”

I started Yes Supply in August of 2025, not really knowing what I hoped to get out of it. I just knew I didn’t want to be stuck anymore. Throughout the course, we learned dozens of tools and techniques to support ourselves and others by starting with the subconscious mind. Techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), hypnosis, accessing your past-present-future timeline, powerful questioning, releasing limiting beliefs, parts integration, and so much more.

I’m someone who learns through trial and error, so I decided if I planned to be a leader in this lifetime, I would have to lead by example. I needed to experience shifting my mindset first before I could share it with others.

So I got to work.

Every day for months, I would work on my mindset as well as healing old wounds with the help of my therapist. If I wanted to be the expansive, spiritual being who shared her light with the world, I had to understand why it was I felt scared. Scared of visibility, of showing up fully and authentically, scared of failure and of embarrassment.

So I hunkered down and finally looked at all the pieces of myself that I’ve ignored for 28 years.

I knew I needed to turn inward and really look at what was asking to be healed or holding me back, but also be honest with myself about what I wanted my future to be. It was truly one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I spent months crying, releasing, and apologizing internally - both to myself and to others I felt like I had wronged over the years (through releasing - you don’t need to do this face to face). I used the techniques I learned in YSM to access past lives, to release generational patterns, to understand what it was my subconscious, my soul, needed me to know.

I moved so much energy and shifted my inner dialogue so much that I had to sleep as often as I could because I was so tired. And being a stay-at-home mom with a two-year-old, who is most definitely in his “let me do parkour off the back of the couch” era, this proved to be quite difficult. But I knew the results that I wanted, and I knew that I had to take accountability if I wanted to see those results.

A lot changed for me, yes, but I also evolved. And while I was working on healing old trauma with my therapist, I was releasing limiting beliefs, fears, and identities that were holding me back - and rewiring those beliefs and identities through the techniques I had learned in YSM.

I went all in.

From the outside looking in, you would have thought my life was quiet, steady, routine. But if you were to look on the inside, you would have seen my inner world shifting like tectonic plates in a magnitude 7 earthquake. It’s actually quite fitting that I did all of this in a 9 year - the year of the snake - because I started shedding what no longer served me left and right.

Over the months, I started to see myself evolving into the version of myself I had manifested right before my eyes. I was quite literally reinventing myself. But I was also releasing all of the energy, all of those beliefs, that didn’t serve me anymore.

Everyone’s healing timeline looks completely different. It’s so important to focus on your journey and not compare where you are to others. The healing journey isn’t a race, it’s just that, a journey. I worked with a therapist while taking the program so that I had additional support from a licensed professional to help me navigate any past events that might arise.

Week after week throughout the program, I slowly started to watch the puzzle pieces of my life come together. It wasn’t until February of this year (2026) that I saw the puzzle in its entirety.

For so long, I struggled with how I would incorporate my mediumship into my world. I loved doing readings, but I knew I would do more with it than readings alone. I also had this newfound love of mindset work and coaching to add to the mix as well. I knew I wanted to bring the two together, but I didn’t know how that would look. I knew I didn’t want to coach on mediumship specifically, but something more. Something truer and deeper and more expansive.

And that was when I realized what it was I was meant to be. It came to me all at once, like an epiphany. The choir was singing, the doves were flying, fireworks were blazing through the sky, the energy was as electric as the home team kicking the game-winning goal. I had my answer.

I would simply be me. And that was good enough.

And the very moment I decided I would be me, and would no longer put myself into a box of limited opportunity, I had my purpose.

I would create a space, a platform, a program, a community, a podcast - whatever in the world I felt like creating - to support other lightworkers who felt stuck or lost while finding their purpose. I would create a space to teach everything I have learned through spiritual development and mindset work and subconscious rewiring. This space would be expansive, safe, supportive, DEI and trauma sensitive, and most importantly, a place where lightworkers no longer felt alone, but instead felt expansive, heard, and empowered.

I was done limiting myself to what I thought I needed to do, but instead, I would do the thing I needed to be - which is a creative intuitive who has limitless ideas and purposes.

So that’s what I did. I started creating.

Thus, The Creative Intuitive was born. A space that will support lightworkers in their spiritual development, but most importantly, their human development. Because after all, we are spiritual beings here to have a human experience.

So take this as your sign, your permission, your reasoning to do and be whoever it is you want to be. You are not meant for boxes. You are meant for a world of limitless opportunities. If you don’t resonate with only being one identity, be many. And if you don’t yet know what your unique purpose is because you’ve never seen it done before…

…create it.

On February 15th, 2023, I found out I was pregnant with my son. How I found out I was pregnant with my son will forever be the most astonishing and incredible experience to ever happen to me - because the Universe was the one who told me.

To appreciate this story in its entirety, I need to take you back to the beginning, to 2019. I was diagnosed at the age of 22 with endometriosis. The same year, I was told by four different gynecologists that the chances of me getting pregnant were very low and would be almost nonexistent after the age of 26. At this point, I had already gone through two exploratory surgeries and multiple medications to try to manage it with little to no help.

To add to the difficulty of conceiving, when my husband was a child he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and underwent 2–3 years of chemo treatment. Because of the chemo, he was very unlikely to be able to have children as well.

The odds truly were not in our favor.
