Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 18: This crazy world we live in.
06/11/2025 Duration: 19minToday's episode touches on the current unrest more and more people are feeling. We are feeling a sense of dis-ease with what is going on in the world and there may be an energetic shift associated. It seems that there is a renaissance of getting closer to your higher power whether it is God, the universe, or spiritual guides and that is an awakening. Yes, we have advanced technologically but have we advanced spiritually? It can be tough and oftentimes crisis is used to realign us back onto our path. Suffering can lead us to awakening. It starts with the individual and radiates out. Please turn off the TV, this can cause division and more suffering as frustration builds up inside. If you are sensitive you will feel it in your body. The forces at be know how to pray on people with lower vibrational frequencies. If the current events are causing you tension, turn off the news. We know enough of what's going on, we do not need to allow these things to consume us. Everything is unfolding the way it is suppos

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 17: Sitting with Adyashanti
30/10/2025 Duration: 16minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Understanding" reminding us to act with sincerity and empathy. Kathy sat with Adya up in NorCal and wanted to share. We may worry that in awakening we may not be able to be funny and lose our humanness, or our relationships with others may change due to our growth. We do not have to change who we are to prove that we are awake, we are all just humans and can continue to be just a better version of ourselves. This growth and journey can look differently for everyone. Sit in contemplation with your questions, feel the unified state and embody our spiritual instinct. The resources needed are within ourselves. Once we find the answers we are looking for we may realize we are the same human we were yesterday. When we have a profound experience, rather than attempting to explain it, have a personal connection with that experience. "Sit down, shut up and just be," stop waiting for the answers, they are in you. When we seek something, that inherently means we are looking somew

Episode 16: To Awaken or Not to Awaken
23/10/2025 Duration: 17minTodays angel card of the day is "Forgiveness" reminding us to "let go of resentments" and "reduce your investment in staying hurt or angry." Live in a way of being at peace with Human Nature. There are people who are truly on the path and we find teachers who share wisdom and then we continue on the path. There are also some who go from self help to self help and connect to teachers to surround themselves with enlightened people doing the work to almost leach from them rather than actually do the work themselves. These people are not looking to take accountability although spirituality is the follow through of action not just learning the information. Aha moments don't lead to an aha life. Some deeply want transformation but can't take the accountability to have integrity. Give yourself permission to stop absorbing your surroundings and remove yourself and not become entangled with the negativity. Come from a compassionate place realizing they are projecting their struggle AND it's okay that we are not the on

Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 15 Non-Believers
16/10/2025 Duration: 18minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is "commitment” to stay on your path and be dependable and engaged. Sometimes we’ll speak on things that cause others an adverse reaction, how do we speak to people with different belief systems? Something important to keep in mind is that we are not the same person we used to be using internal work, not everyone is at the same place you are. Have some sympathy and empathy for where they are coming from and try to understand and accept where they are in their process. Stray from an “us” vs. “them” mentality, in that moment they may not fully get it, but down the line they may come to understand. You do not want non-believers to feel bad or wrong, in time things happen. Use simple language to be inviting and ask if they have any questions along the way to encourage dialog. If someone does not want to get it, do not waste that time and energy to convince them. Remain productive, pick your battles carefully for your own mental, emotional, and spiritual health. #intenti

Episode 14 Intentional Awakening Podcast: A reading
09/10/2025 Duration: 15minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is "Exploration” reminding us to investigate, cultivate, and go beyond the known. Oracle cards tend to give guidance and direction. The first card drawn is a Swan signifying Grace. This past week’s energy has felt like a phoenix rising from the ashes and now we are reminded to integrate from what happened to realize that the past brings you to where you are now. Take that time to slow down and give yourself the space to embrace. Allow your nervous system time to recalibrate. The world has become a place full of fear and anger, the swan can also be a reminder to look around and appreciate the little things. Lift our vibrations and take action coming from a place of presence and grace. The second card pulled is a Koala Bear showing us empathy and to speak less while listening more. Push through the programmed fear by listening to what others have to say to come from a place of understanding rather than survival mode. Find the presence and awareness of listening deeply. We ar

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 13: Presence
03/10/2025 Duration: 18minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is "Presence” almost like awareness and consciousness, allowing us to be here and now in this moment. The past doesn't exist and the future hasn't come yet so be present to our emotions, environment, accepting what is and what isn't. If you want to get from where you are now to a goal set, all that is in between is time and space, it is about choosing which path to get you there and being present and aware to close that gap. Having awareness and presence grants you the access to get from where you are to where you are looking to be. The here and now is all we have, most of our suffering comes from wanting to be somewhere else therefore allowing and accepting what IS is the key. Stay in that “now” moment we get to choose whether we are allowing these negative emotions to make us miserable or not. We have an abundance of information and knowledge, choose what you resonate with. What am I allowing myself to be present to? How do we cultivate presence? Sit in that stillness, m

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 12: Downloads
26/09/2025 Duration: 16minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is "Celebration" reminding us to rejoice, have fun, and enjoy the party. There are thoughts that sometimes pop into our heads that just feel different with almost a heaviness or importance to the thought. Our energy is then able to receive the download and match the vibrational frequency. These thoughts or downloads can also be channeling something that isn’t us but coming through us. It is not about trying to have these downloads, shift your attention away from them, get out of your own way, we want to “be” not “do.” When saying “trying” it relates to a struggle, instead of trying, start doing. In order to make room for these downloads, we need to have the energy to do so, and allow it to occur. When you have these downloads, share it with someone unjudgemental around you to allow for validation and possibly help someone, there's a reason the download occurred. #downloads #intentionalawakening #celebration #vibrationalfrequency #validation

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 11: Forgiveness
18/09/2025 Duration: 14minEpisode #11: Forgiveness: Today’s Angel Card Word of the Day is "Forgiveness" with the description “reduce your investment in staying angry or hurt. To forgive is to live in a world that is at peace with human nature.” This card inspired today's episode topic. Although it can feel like you do not want to forgive or that this is allowing the behavior to happen, forgiveness is one of the strongest ways to move forward and doing so isn’t always for the other person, but for yourself. “Forgiveness is not a weakness but an act of self-compassion.” Let go of the attachment, it may take time to get to the place where you feel comfortable to forgive someone or yourself but it's the human that helps evolve the higher soul. Ask yourself what do I get from holding onto it? Is fear holding me back? Am I avoiding the pain of addressing it? Is it ego related? Forgiveness ties in with acceptance, what we resist persists. We need to release the negative ego of being better than them, in the right, or hurt by them. Some

Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 10: Being a slave to astrology
11/09/2025 Duration: 15minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is “Openness.” When talking about Mercury Retrograde all that is happening is the planet is slowing down in its rotations and energy can affect energy and sometimes this can be taken out of proportion. The planet of Mercury is about communication and interaction so the question is whether what you're experiencing is the actual reality of energy or something you are creating in your mind. Astrology is a history of patterns that have been noticed and charted and it can be pretty accurate so taking precautions is important but don’t put your life on hold or be held hostage, find a resolution. As meaning making creatures, we like to find a reason why something happened which can be a spiritual reason but sometimes life just happens and it isn't a cosmic reason. The universe could be telling you to sit back and have some patience and grace for outside factors involved. Be present and a good, kind human and lead with compassion. #astrology #intentiona

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 9: Time Line Jumping
07/09/2025 Duration: 18minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is “Depth” with the description “Go deeper- pay attention to what is beneath the threshold of awareness.” Terrie shares that the concept of Timeline Jumping can be simplified into making choices. Once you have an intention, consistency in aligned action is the key to growth. Timeline jumping is about becoming a version of the person who has what you want to manifest by making choices. When manifesting, we can “and” or “Or” something, and “or” is about limitations while “and” is about abundance. Timeline jumping is realizing that you don’t have to limit yourself in this moment of reality but can make other choices to “become” using choices with abundance in mind rather than limitations. Kathy refers to timeline jumping as thinking of yourself in a timeline where you made the other choice and landing your consciousness in a different version of your life. It can be seen like songs on the radio are all playing at the same time although we are choosing to be on one

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 8: Spiritual Bypassing
28/08/2025 Duration: 17minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is “Kindness” once again as it is always important to be kind to yourself and be kind to others. In times of awakening, enlightenment, and evolving- people tend to feel like they need to escape the human part of themselves and in these moments of connecting with our souls, we feel free and a sense of non-attachment or “bliss.” Essentially a spiritual bypass is using spirituality to avoid confronting hard truths. Kathy relates a book she is reading, “Awake,” states that it's not the emotion that is the issue, it's your emotion about the emotion. We have to acknowledge that we are spiritual beings and still human and have to face these truths and tough feelings. Usually in a spiritual bypass, one is not aware they are bypassing using toxic happiness, maybe ignoring self care, avoiding human contact and intimacy, or ignoring human responsibility. This bypassing can also cause a false sense of superiority which is not what awakening is about. Terrie shares the impor

Episode 7 Intentional Awakening Podcast: Intention
21/08/2025 Duration: 15minToday’s Angel Card Word of the Day is “Courage.” We all have bias and sometimes messages from the universe or symbols can be interpreted incorrectly. Terrie explains that our own human experience and primary “clair” can change our interpretation; whether it’s clairsentience (clear feeling), clairaudience (clear hearing), clairvoyance (clear seeing), clear smelling, clear tasting, or claircognizance (a sixth sense.) Not only do we interpret information, but we translate messages and symbols into our own internal lingo to resonate with the information. Kathy portrays how some people become stuck on one interpretation of something where “this must mean that.” This could be a safety mechanism internally in order to gain control which can cause one to have a rigid mindset rather than a growth mindset. The key is to be open to interpretation and open to growth, not having a fixed interpretation of symbols but to be curious. #interpretation #intentionalawakening #courage #resonate #grow

Episode 6 Intentional Awakening Podcast Paradox
17/08/2025 Duration: 16minJoin my phenomenal co host and myself as we discuss one of the most confusing things in spirituality, which is paradox. For example, if you are trying to manifest something and roadblock after roadblock are thrown up in your way, does that mean that that is not the right path for you or does that mean that you are meant to fight through? I run into situations like this all the time not only in my own life but in the lives of my clients. Join us for a fascinating and enlightening discussion.
