During the reading, we all learned valuable lessons that resonated deeply with us. Melissa's biggest takeaway was a powerful reminder for all of us - to trust ourselves and stay true to our authentic selves. She inspired us to honor and validate our emotions, always remembering to listen to the wisdom of our hearts.

One beautiful theme that emerged from the reading was the importance of being present and embracing the present moment. Melissa's journey taught us to celebrate what we have right now and to find joy in the present, while still holding space for future growth.

• Systems once in place are there to work FOR you
• Learn to find the fun in the growth

This conversation was such a gem! We have special guest Lauren Chavez-Gonzalez who is a yoga teacher, reiki healer, hypnotist, akashic reader and above all else a mystical light being who believes magic is real.  Today we are chatting about past lives, between lives, spirit world, the meaning behind death, soul contracts and so so much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Lauren as much as we did!

Key Takeaways:

• Starting your day with intention creates a space for you to return to again and again and stay in a place of interconnectedness.
• Always follow the call, this will allow you to step from darkness and into the light
• Death is a parting of the body that we have chosen & things can be hard and heavy but sometimes we need reminders to remember we have all come here to learn.
• Its not what you do but the service you give & love as much as you can while you are here
• Between life readings can give you answers you need to know in the moment to connect you back to why you came and help you remember your purpose
• If its coming through you then it is for you, trusting your intuition is key

• Question: What kind of work do I feel I have been made for? 
• "You cant work out what you want until you work out who you are"- Ben Crowe

We are back to chat about a topic that both of us LOVE. The Chakras!

Lauren has been using this system for a long time whereas Rashida only a few years and both bring insight and information to these "energy vortex's". We speak about our first experiences with them and share how they may show up imbalanced and what you can do to balance them. If you have been tapped into the power of the chakras already or are interested but dont really understand what they are then this is the chat for you. Join us as we break down each of the main chakras and how you can tap into them in all aspects of your life.

Key Takeaways:

We are back! And this episode is an activating one. Join us in this powerful conversation as Lauren breaks down what yoga really is and how this practice is more than just being on a mat. This conversation gets so deep and a bit raw. So get ready to learn a little, cry a little and you may even want to drop a few f*bombs along the way (spoiler alert). Rashida, as always brings the curiosity and Lauren drops the wisdom on what this yoga thing is anyway.

Key Takeaways:

• Yoga provides a path to self realization
• Yoga philosophy is perpetually relevant, yet meaningless if we do not apply and integrate it into our lives
• Free Will is something discovered and not naturally achieved 
• There is so much more to Yoga than the Asanas (poses)

• A block around receiving can play a part in both your relationships and finances  
• Our culture and conditioning determines our outlook on recieving

Key Takeaways:

•  Imbolc is a nature based tradition we can use this time to prepare and get ready for the spring
• Affirmation: I am dedicated to speaking up for myself- Bring your voice to the table. Threads of Fate- Eventide Affirmation Deck
• Legendary Ladies Goddess Deck by Ann Shen - Gaia - Time in nature is vital to our health , we are meant to connect. The connecting allows us to connect to ourselves and our purpose. Nature allows us to be in alignment. We are being called to embody Gaia and treat ourselves like the Queens we are. Treat ourselves as Gaia treats us.
• Energy Archeology- Ashley Stinson - Expectation/ Maxilla and Temporal -small movements will allow you get to where you want to go. Let go and Allow. Holding tension in our jaw will not allow us to use our voice fully and our words will not reflect the truth.
• A Yogic Path Oracle Deck - Sahara Rose- Bhuvaneshvari- Goddess of space and infinite possibilities .  Open yourself up to the magic of presence by active listening. Deep Listening is one of the highest forms of service for not only yourself but those around you. 

*Anatomy correction: Rashida was flowing in her channelling and made up a word instead of using the correct term . But she wanted to be clear and note the correct anatomy term here to avoid any confusion. She meant to say Maxilla instead of Mandela*
