My Journey with Stage Fright + a Chat with Sara Rose of Femme Path

Part 1: My Journey Through Stage Fright

In this episode, I am sharing my journey with stage fright. I never know when it is going to happen, but still, I show up. Spirit increases my capacity to hold space as my confidence builds, and my purpose is what keeps me going. I know that I am worthy of being heard, and I want you to know that you are too!

 

Some highlights of my journey through stage fright from the episode:

• I was six the first time I had stage fright and, at the last minute, could not perform in a daycare play we were performing for our parents. After that, I preferred to be behind the scenes! 
• Stage fright is a physical experience for me where I break out in hives, activate my nervous system, and become paralyzed.
• Working in Indigenous health and wellness, I gradually was given more visible roles and projects that were getting media attention and awareness. 
• I started hosting moon circles with only four people and stopped doing them when I got stage fright in a group of seventeen! 
• Podcasting offered a way for me to heal my voice without having eyes on me. I deleted most of the original episodes I recorded, but I spontaneously published the episodes I had saved after a nervous breakdown at work and Spirit School was born! 
• I recently had a stage fright experience where I completely shut down while asking John Edwards a question in a live online event. 

 

Part Two: Sara Rose

Sara Rose is a client of 3 years who is part of The Initiation Circle and was one of my first choices for readers to work under my Squamish Medium brand. I challenged her to step out of her comfort zone and record a podcast episode with me on the spot! You will love her peaceful, healing voice and energy.

 

After years of hiding her true Soul’s expression and experiencing guidance from the Universe in the form of health issues and struggles, Sara was guided back to a spiritually-fulfilled life. She created Femme Path Soul Care, where she offers Soul-Aligned Coaching, Energy Healing, Soul Reading, Chakra Reading and Mediumship. Sara believes that you are your best healer and that everything external is simply to augment what already exists within you. The main focus of her work is to empower you through conscious self-discovery by reconnecting you with the unique imprint that is your pure, essential Soul Expression.

Spirit School Lecture Series: Community Q&A

I love creating episodes for this podcast, but I feel that my best work is in my live teaching energy through my programs, one-on-one mentorship and in the Initiation Circle. I will continue to release episodes only when I am inspired to prioritize quality over consistency.

Today’s episode is the audio from the most recent live Q&A Call in the Initiation Circle. The questions asked are always amazing and they are at all levels of development so I thought this call would resonate with many of you! 

Questions:

- I feel like I keep going 1 step forward, 2 steps back. How do I keep momentum on my development path?
- How do I balance my spiritual practice and life with a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old? I don’t feel “spiritual” and am often exhausted.
- How do I improve spirit communication when I am getting foggy connections and brief pictures like a puzzle? Is it me or is that just how it is?
- How do I choose a business name and what is the next step?
- I know I want to be on this path but sometimes feel like leaving my practice and going back to old ways. Is the human part always going to feel like work?
- Other than setting intentions, are there other ways to develop our clairs?
- Why do I keep going out of my way to accommodate people instead of maintaining my boundaries?
- What is the true purpose of our souls reincarnating?

If you are interested in joining the Initiation Circle to experience the workshops, mentorship and community environment, you can click the link below. This call is one of many sessions from the past year that you will gain access to as a member of the community. The waitlist for the Initiation Program for Winter 2022 is also live now!

October has been a busy month so far and I’m so happy to be back with another episode of Spirit School!  If you’re ever wondering what’s going on with me, I share a lot on my Instagram account through stories and IGTV videos.

Spirit School Session: Lianne Reading

I was fortunate enough to read for Lianne, who was the server at my birthday dinner. I felt drawn to give her a reading after she approached me and said she was on my waitlist. 

I only ask a few people each month to sit with me for free sessions where I can just purely serve Spirit. I was so grateful Spirit aligned Lianne to my awareness I feel that we both got a lot out of this session and she was gracious enough to allow me to post this reading on the podcast, with very limited edits

The only thing I edited was her last name and at the end, we had a bit of a personal banter I tried to only leave in things that are relevant the session. 

I hope you enjoy it!

October 2021 Spirit Messages

The inspirations that came through for the month of October were very much around Healing our Ancestral wounds and our emotions that tend to not move through us as easily. 

 

Basically, we're going into the depths of it all (thanks to Scorpio energy - I LOVE Scorpio energy). It doesn't mess around and is incredibly transformational - why would we go through the roller coasters of September's energy if we weren't about to have big breakthroughs? 

I hope these messages resonate and help you make the most of the month ahead.

Signs from Spirit with Sheila V

I am so excited to welcome one of my most popular guests, Sheila V, back to Spirit School!

After 20 years in the corporate world, Sheila became a full-time psychic medium after a spiritual awakening and a period of intense studying seeking truth in different modalities. She is now a mentor and the author of a new book called Brave: Courageously live your truth that sheds light on how you can show up authentically and do everything that you aspire to do. 

Sheila talks about how signs will lead you to your calling. Following them takes courage because they are asking you to leave the life you currently have to create a new one. On the other side of taking this leap are deep relationships based on new values and beliefs. 

Some topics that we covered are:

- How to recognize and receive signs as evidence of support

- Signs that told Sheila she was ready to shift into her career as a medium

- Categories of signs and the steps to understand them

- Courageously stepping into an authentic, unique and visible path

- Building trust in the universe and your own intuition

- Sign shock and having gratitude for the signs we receive

 

You can work with Sheila through the links below to sign up for a reading, coaching call or her Awakening Intuition course that starts September 29! If it isn’t your time to work with her directly, you can receive guidance through her book Brave: Courageously live your truth.

Aboriginal Medium Shawn Leonard Interview

I am so excited to share this interview with my favourite medium of all time Aboriginal Medium Shawn Leonard! This episode was the highlight of my career and he was so generous with his time. It is common for Indigenous teachings to be shared through storytelling and the length of this episode reflects that experience.

In this interview, Shawn shares how he first became aware of his abilities through vibes and thoughts that he would receive about people which brought him to the initial stages of mediumship development. If you want to do this work, asking for help from Spirit and leading with trust and faith will guide you into alignment with your path. 

The stories that Shawn tells demonstrate the healing power of mediumship and the value of messages in addition to bringing validation to the sitter. He talks about how claircognizance and compassion are just as important as clairvoyance when conveying what needs to be communicated in a reading. Being a part of someone’s healing is the real gift of being a medium.

Shawn Leonard's TV show Spirit Talker gives the Indigenous community access to mediumship and shares stories that are relatable to give hope to those who are in need of healing. The divine intelligence of Spirit ensures that even in a group reading or demonstration, the messages will be received by more than those whose loved ones connect at that time.

 

Some questions that Shawn answered were:

- How do you receive names?

- What is your relationship with angels?

- Are earthbound spirits and ghosts real?

 

Be sure to watch the Season 2 premiere of Spirit Talker on APTN tomorrow, September 15, 2021!

Spirit School Session: Bridgette Reading

Bridgette Reading 

Thank you for all of the messages I’ve received about the September Spirit Messages episode! Although they were not the most positive, I have found that the book Braiding Sweetgrass and its Indigenous teachings has been a source of grounding for me.

This episode is one from my series where I share sessions with Instagram followers who are selected by me for a reading. I was so happy to confirm that Bridgette is also a member of my Initiation Circle when I connected with her through her Instagram account. The only information that I had prior to the reading was that Bridgette had lost her husband. For privacy, I started the reading after she spelled her name to connect to the energy of her voice.

This was an emotional reading filled with messages of love. There were validations about signs Bridgette has received and events that have happened since her husband’s passing that let her know he is still around. We also talked about grief and how it is a deeply personal journey with no set of rules or timeline. 

Stay tuned until the end to hear Bridgette’s follow-up reflection and testimonial on her experience as my sitter.

September Spirit Messages

September is a month to go with the flow! Letting go of control will be helpful for your nervous system in addition to providing an opportunity for growth. We can only control our own thoughts and energy. 

 

When looking at health, throat issues may show up in response to some anger around feeling unsafe to express yourself this month. To clear the throat chakra, it would be helpful to find someone you can share with instead of holding it in. At the same time, we need to pause and consider the impact of our words and energy before we speak.

 

Something that also came up was the message to use your third eye to visualize the life you're working towards. This, along with a grounding practice that works for you can counteract the roller coaster going on in September.

 

I also mentioned in this episode that the best way to access my mentorship right now is in The Initiation Circle, my monthly membership. There is a high demand for 1:1 mentorship and members are offered priority. You get access to all of the previous content and there are exciting opportunities coming up!

A Little More on Angels!

After The Initiation Six Week Mediumship Foundations Journey wrapped up, I took two full weeks off, including one-week offline camping with my family! As a result, I haven’t recorded an episode in a few weeks.

For my first episode back, I went live on Instagram to ask my audience what they would like me to talk about and almost everyone said, angels! I haven’t shared a lot about angels because my experience with them is so personal and unique compared to what I have learned through studying them. I am an experiential teacher and can only teach what I am embodied in, so keep in mind that what I share in this episode comes from my experience.

 

In this episode, I answered some questions from Instagram such as:

• How my awareness of angels has evolved (numbers, colour, lights)

• My connection to archangels versus guardian angels

• How angels show up in my mentorship sessions

• How I connect to angels now compared to when I started by asking for small things

• The difference between guides and angels  

• Finding my own place in angel work

 

“You are worthy of connecting with angels and I am worthy of healing others even though I’m not fully healed myself. I’m worthy of it all and so are you.”
