episode 40: Intentional Awakening Podcast: Self-Care
10/04/2026 Duration: 17minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Tenderness," treat yourself and others with care. Especially in these crazy times, we need to detach ourselves at times to spiritually cleanse. Can you be an observer rather than a participant? Your identity is not the issue you're going through or the situation at hand. You have more to receive. Before ____ happened, you were here. Where is the past or the future if you're not thinking about it? When the issue is in our heads, we go into fight, flight or freeze and it's hard to move through that because the danger is in our head. We do not necessarily see a resolution. Find a way to calm your nervous system. Is something causing you these emotions or are you dwelling on something causing yourself the emotions? Pick the thoughts that work for you and find the "silver lining." Self care is work and soothing your soul is not always easy and may involve setting boundaries. In some situations, we can only help ourselves and give ourselves the permission. #selfcare #in

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode #39: Expansiveness:
02/04/2026 Duration: 15minMark, certified therapeutic coach working with hypnotherapy and psychology, is back for another episode! Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "expansiveness." Rise above and keep growing. Expansiveness is like amplification, what is being amplified? Energetically, how do you say "yes, and…" So often, we feel small or minimize ourselves to "protect others." In reality, when we expand ourselves, we can hold more & give more. We can live unapologetically and expand our light. If the people around you cause you to feel like minimizing yourself and your growth, then those are not the right people to surround yourself with. To expand, take a look at what got you to where you are and accept that your past is what has allowed you to grow and expand to who you are becoming today. Acknowledge your successes. Notice your improvement no matter how big or small, shift your perspective. Awakening is a consistent effort. Expansion leads to awakening. #expansiveness #intentionalawakening #amplification #un

Episode 38: Intentional Awakening Podcast: Ayahuasca: Meeting Grandmother
27/03/2026 Duration: 20minEpisode #38: Ayahuasca: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "risk," which is well fit for today's episode. Ayahuasca can be intimidating but you will know if and when it is your time. Terrie shares her experience of introspection into letting go of the feeling of panic and there being no need to feel shame for being human. It felt as though healers were working on her and she heard Mother Ayahuasca say "There's no shame in being human." She left realizing that she can have experiences and growth like this without chemical alteration. Kathy came back recently from an action packed Ayahuasca retreat including 5 ceremonies in 2 days. She realized that surrendering comes allowing yourself to rest the first night and after that went all in. She set boundaries in business and friendship, time & money are limited. Trust your internal calling to decide if you are ready for something like this. Try to reduce expectations going in and be open to the risk. Everyone's experience will be different but usually

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 37 Purification
20/03/2026 Duration: 19minEpisode #37: Purification: Today, we have a guest, Hypnotherapist Mark Lakowske. Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Purification." "Wash away the drama that covers your essential nature." Mark shares that his first vision was a sword being forged. To make this beautiful useful piece of art and weaponry, it has to go through a process of breaking down and refining before being rebuilt to something stronger. Terrie relates purification to a deeper level of clearing out the old to make room for the new. This is a part of the journey even though it can be extremely difficult to move through the past to make room for new. Kathy describes her recent Ayahuasca retreat being a moment of purification: breaking her down, initiation, and rebuilding. To get to a place of purification, we need to go through self examination, surrender, and self forgiveness. We have to embody feel and release. What are we consuming? Purge negative energy. Purify your body, mind, and environment. Why cook

Episode 36: Intentional Awakening Podcast: Karma
14/03/2026 Duration: 16minEpisode #36: Karma: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Openness," reminding us to be perceptive to change. Karma can be described as the law of cause and effect rather than a punishment. We live in duality, karma can act as a moral code driven by intention. There is also ancestral karma within your energy field with the soul, not the body. What is the natural result of our actions? Are we open and receptive to receive? There is a book called "It Didn't Start With You" dealing with trauma and restrictions and what could have come from energy before us. What is our soul purpose and what can we do to break a pattern or heal the ancestral karma? This is soul work involving acceptance and generosity; lift up others around you. Sit in stillness and contemplate who you want to be. How do you want to contribute? Remove yourself from anger and resentment using acceptance. #karma #intentionalawakening #openness #duality #intention #ancestral #soulwork #stillness

Episode 35: The Intentional Awakening Podcast: The Mystery of the Restored Ring
05/03/2026 Duration: 12minEpisode #35: Mystery of the Ring: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Expectancy." "Stay miracle minded and open to surprises." Kathy tells an anecdote of looking down one evening and noticing that her wedding ring was missing a diamond. She disappointedly tells her husband it is gone and shows him the ring reminding her that they may have a warranty. The next day, she goes to look at the warranty and figure out what it would entail to fix the missing stone and looks back at the ring. This time she sees no empty space and all diamonds in their place. This could be an instance of a parallel reality, meaning there are many different versions of ourselves depending on the choices we make and actions that we take. It could be timeline jumping, manifestation, or a premonition. #expectancy #intentionalawakening #parallelreality #timelinejumping #manifestation #premonition

Intentional Awakening Podcast Episode 34: Inspiration
26/02/2026 Duration: 13minEpisode #34: Inspiration: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Inspiration." Do you find inspiration or does it find you? Inspiration is like a spark that goes off within you and ignites a connection. This spark comes when you are not actively looking for it. Influence and support can feel like inspiration. Energy influences energy and because of this, inspiration may come out of nowhere. It is best to be ready to receive it. Trying to manufacture inspiration may backfire as it can reflect how your nervous system is operating in a sense of stress or urgency. Stillness and presence is key, being ready to be receptive to those sparks within time of boredom -in daily life, not only meditation. Give yourself permission and take action intentionally to jumpstart you're incoming inspiration. #intentionalawakening #inspiration #influence #energy #presence #receive

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 33: A reading
19/02/2026 Duration: 21minEpisode #33: A Reading: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Communication," which expresses the connection between "your interior experience and outward expression." As a general reading with both Kathy & Terrie's decks of cards. Terrie starts with "Good Tarot" deck pulling "transformation" and "Hasta La Vista Baby." Kathy begins with the "Past Life Oracle" cards pulling "finances" & "forgiveness." For any healing to happen there has to be change and transformation. There is the collective and the individual and transformation begins individually and radiates to the collective. Where can you find a place in your life that needs change? Is there anywhere you feel restricted? Are you being called to work on something that will help you heal and outgrow these restrictions? You cannot transform without forgiving yourself and others. Let this attachment go. Is there a place you need to find forgiveness in work to let it go. Make space for something new. Is there a judgement you a

Episode 32: Intentional Awakening Podcast: The Channel Kryon on Awakening
12/02/2026 Duration: 17minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Balance," find a point of equilibrium amidst change. Kryon talks about magnetic shifts, geological information, etc. and posted recently about awakening. Kathy reads a quote. This is a testament to the self work done and needing to be done. When a new door opens, we tend to fear the unknown. Why not be curious? If you're starting to awaken to a larger truth, you begin to change and develop a higher consciousness. This can bring life changes. When you learn how to manage your intuition, you may lose some of it; it's part of your process and path. If we bring this into talking about balance, in our awakening we may separate a bit from the human. You may begin to understand. You may feel disconnected to old friends. You may feel like your blood relatives are not spiritually connected and there's a grander truth. "It may become obvious for those who wish to look." As you level up, you face bigger and bigger challenges. There is a link below about Kryon.

Intentional Awakening Podcast. Episode 31: Acceptance
05/02/2026 Duration: 13minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Acceptance," move forward and embrace life. You have to accept & acknowledge something to change it. You can fight against it and think you'd like to change it, but there is always time for improvement. Energy is always moving so acceptance is a constant process and a choice. The question is "How?" Some tips can be to understand the differing levels of truth that can exist at the same time. You can be upset at someone and love them and both truths can exist. We all have natural biases, is there room for change or growth? Suffering comes from judgment. Are we allowing the circumstances to continue? Is what is happening for our higher good or a lesson we're meant to learn? Sometimes things suck but those can be the most important lessons and acceptance is the first choice. #acceptance #embrace #acknowledge #truth #bias #lessons

Episode 30: Intentional Awakening Podcast: Soul Contracts replay
29/01/2026 Duration: 17minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Gratitude," increasing your ability to nourish the good in and around you. The soul is made up of 3 facets, love (emotions), light (intelligence), and power (control of your body/movement.) If the soul decides what to work on, it then chooses people and circumstances to fulfill those lessons and in this time, souls begin to connect with each other. Does the contract break when two connected souls divide? It depends on your perspective. Some believe it may break, others believe the soul contract cannot break and the division was a part of the contract all along included in a lesson that you are supposed to learn and endure. Once you fulfill the contract, it could be seen as breaking the contract depending on your own perception. Mutual growth is the purpose and intention, it is not considered destiny but a lesson needed to be learned. To release a soul contract, awaken within it and release anger realizing we are all here for mutual growth, this involves forgiveness. L

Episode 27: Past Life Regression. Intentional Awakening Podcast
08/01/2026 Duration: 18minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Commitment," remain dependable. What you believe about the afterlife depends on what works and makes sense to you. If you believe in past life regression, you may understand this in the terms of soul evolution. For example, if life is like a job interview and in the first interview you do not get the job, in the next interview you have another chance to do the right things and get the job. Your belief in the afterlife will resonate energetically with you. We pick our lifetimes, we know what we are destined for. We only know what we need to learn to move forward. The soul understands what to take from your experiences into the next life. Have you ever gone to a new location and felt comfortable as if you knew and recognized the place? You have memories of these places that may not be your experiences. You can go back to a space, a soul encounter, a skill, etc. and whether or not you believe, the work can still be done. #pastlifereggression #intentiona

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 26: Predictions for 2026
01/01/2026 Duration: 24minJoin Terrie and I as we combine psychic forces to pull cards and give our predictions and assessment of the year to come. Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Sisterhood / Brotherhood," acknowledging the importance of reaching out with acts of kindness to all around you. Lets pull some cards to start the year with gaining information by double linking: where psychics bounce off each other. Humans emit light which can be seen as aura: this year, what colors stand out to you and how are we energetically aligning with these colors? Kathy's first cards pulled were the dancer, the eye, and the fortunate. The dancer shows us that it is human to have things do not go as planned. The eye reminds us that there is a divine plan and all is as it should be. Lastly, the servant encourages us to recognize how good life can be. These cards are saying that we are on that correct path. The emotion we feel is not the issue, it is our relationship to that emotion that can be the issue. Terrie pulls "Loud &

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 25: Merry Christmas1
25/12/2025 Duration: 21minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is " Clarity," reminding us to focus on intent and see the world as it is free of judgements and perceptions. What can we do to find clarity during the holidays? With the darkness in the past year, we leave that behind and leave fear and prejudice. Enlighten ourselves and thus brings light to everyone around us. Darkness, sadness, and hate cannot remain in the light. Things dim our light, but there is enough light for all. Share yourself and share your light. Spread your inner light and love, spread the light and be the light. Be generous with your light as it always triumphs darkness. Turning on the light takes action, the light is there we just have to use that potential. Ignite yourself. There are two things that have to happen, intention and energy. Reciprocate the bright energy that you feel around you. It is not important to know why something is happening, but to accept that it is happening. We do not need to know why, we may never know why. Oftentimes, we try

Episode 24 Intentional Awakening Podcast: Shadow work
18/12/2025 Duration: 21minEpisode #24: Shadow Work: Today's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Power," reminding us to utilize our research to the fullest and act on our own awareness creating "win-win" experiences. Shadow work has to occur to have awakening. This can be emotional work, going deep and tapping into energetic frequencies that are low vibrational, for example shame, guilt, or rage. These emotions tend to hide in the shadows. Delve into the parts of yourself that you do not want to acknowledge. It is not the emotion that is the problem, it is our relationship to that emotion. Shame, as a child, was important. As an adult there is no benefit to shame. Guilt keeps us accountable to being a good person, but shame is feeling bad about who we are rather than what happened. There are parts of our inner child that are hurt, that we shove away to protect ourselves, and we have to admit and acknowledge what we are hiding in the shadows. Embrace that aspect of yourself and be aware of where you are energetically a

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 23: Hone your Psychic Skills
11/12/2025 Duration: 20minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Awakening," reminding us to welcome in the new dawn. Everyone has intuition, some people use it more and practice this skill. Some people are more in tune with their inner self and remember that we are not just humans, we are souls; you can learn how to strengthen your intuition. Intuition and instinct are different, as instinct can be attached to fear while intuition comes when you are calm and at peace. One is not better than the other unless you're guiding someone else, when guiding you want to use intuition rather than instinct. How do we hone this? Information comes from our senses and we can learn what our strength is by understanding which sense we primarily use to learn. Psychicness comes from feeling. Certain visuals may mean things to you, and not to others, the way one interprets a visual may not be the same as how you may interpret it. This is why we do not read our own tarot. Validation is very important when using your psychic senses. You can us

Intentional Awakening Podcast: Episode 22: Presence
04/12/2025 Duration: 16minToday's Angel Card Word of the Day is "Obedience," "follow your deepest impulse with discipline and decisiveness." We start this episode with a quote: "The universe is putting forth maximal effort to create this moment, why would you want to change that?" This is a lesson on presence which can be one of the biggest obstacles to overcome for humans. There is a negative connotation to one's ego but Ego is a part of the human experience and feeling present in your NOW moment; this can be a constant battle for many. Thought is the enemy of presence and awakening because we get lost in these thought storms and the stories we tell ourselves about the present and future. If you are not thinking about the past or future, where is it? It is only the NOW that is present and this moment is all we have, remove ourselves from suffering to stay present. When you allow yourself to identify with these thoughts, it can take you away from presence, change your thoughts to align with the NOW moment that you would like to b
