The Goddess Rising Podcast
Ep 10. Embracing Change for Spiritual Growth
What if the feelings of defeat and confusion you're experiencing are actually a catalyst for profound personal growth? In this enlightening episode of Goddess Rising, I, Gemma, alongside my guides, delve into the collective emotional turmoil many of us face this year. We dive deep into the challenge of re-evaluating long-held beliefs and the impact this confusion has on our nervous systems. You'll find solace and encouragement, knowing that you're not alone on this journey of self-discovery.
Listen as we explore the power of inner reflection through the lens of finance, work, spirituality, and relationships. By examining these life quadrants, I uncover the root causes of my own feelings of defeat and disconnection, such as spiritual neglect and relationship strains. Through journaling and introspection, we learn how to shift our energy and outlook, aided by the channeled wisdom of my guides. These moments of frustration become opportunities for profound introspection and growth.
We conclude by shifting our focus from defeat to joy, using the metaphor of filling a bucket with drops of water to highlight the importance of small, consistent efforts. We'll discuss practical steps like setting clear intentions and aligning actions with our heart's wisdom to cultivate the person we aspire to be. Emphasizing the dynamic nature of our aspirations, we explore how resetting our personal "GPS" can keep us aligned with our evolving goals and desires.

Welcome to the Goddess Rising podcast, the place where heartfelt stories, love, kindness and laughs are always shared. I'm your host, gemma, and I am an intuitive channel bringing you all kinds of stories from my own experience, my own life conversations, as well as channeled messages from my guides to help bring each of us into a place of peace, love and acceptance of who we are, why we're here and where we are headed. If you love growth, changing your thoughts and habits, finding your belief systems that need changing, then you have come to the right place. Walk with me hand in hand as I help you uncover more of who you are, letting go of the old and stepping into the new. It is my greatest honor to have you here on this journey. Hello, beautiful humans, and welcome to another episode of the goddess rising podcast. I am so grateful to have you here, and today's episode, as always, is going to be something a little bit left of field, and sometimes we talk about these things that somehow don't make sense to our mind, but our body seems to be really receptive and understanding what's going on. So bear with me if this kind of goes a little bit pear-shaped, because I'm going to start sharing things from my own experience, and then I have a feeling that, as I channel some more information and more of a depth of knowledge from my guides, that things are going to get a little strange. So you know, I think really my feeling at the moment is so many things are dropping in for many people and that is exciting, but also can be really confusing, because so much of what we thought and have been led to believe up until this moment is suddenly being shown to us as no, it's time to re-evaluate that. No, maybe that's, you know, something that you don't have to choose to believe anymore. Maybe what you've been told up until this point actually doesn't help and doesn't serve you for your highest good. So it's always interesting more and more as I'm finding this information coming through my guides and you know, the conversations that I'm constantly having with people are really showing me so much about the collective energy that is playing out right now.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I always think it's just me. Oh, it's just me, I'm just experiencing this, and then someone else will say, oh, my goodness, this has been happening, or this theme's coming up, or this stuff. This is how I'm feeling. I'm like you two really. I thought I was the only one. So just know that no matter what you're going through, no matter where you are, everybody has a similar thing playing out. In different ways. It looks different from the external, but the energy is very similar. And so I feel like what we're going to dive into today can really be relatable to everybody. And I'm finding myself at the moment really at this place quite often. But yeah, it's certainly interesting.
Speaker 1:I know it's been a rocky ride for a lot of people so far this year. So I'm I'm ready and I'm sure most people are ready for just that little bit of of calm, that little bit of peace that might come just from having a little break of, uh, the turbulence. But we'll see what happens, okay, so down to the topic for today. I feel like I really wanted to touch on so much about this feeling of defeat, this feeling of really almost just this low point of what's the point. You know why, why bother, and all those sorts of things. Um, I have a beautiful dear friend who I know has been saying since the start of the year it's kind of like I'm done, I'm just done, like I'm done with all of these things, um, and I find that we're all going through that to some varying degree. You know many people that I've been speaking to I just at that point in their life where they don't know if it's time to pivot into something different, something new, or whether it's just a holding period. You know, really, that space of do I just sit tight for a little bit and see what happens? And again, collectively, I think there's so much more to this big picture than what we can see. You know it's interesting. You know I don't really follow the news or anything like that. I tend to not engage with that sort of thing very often, but sometimes when things pop up or someone sends me things, it's it's very interesting for me to look and read and see where the energy's at in different places of the world. And I can definitely say from that perspective that often I am shown things, you know, that's happening on the other side of the world and I can see how it's playing out here as well. So we are all connected in all ways and it really does give me comfort knowing that I'm not the only one.
Speaker 1:So what I've been noticing is that this feeling of defeat and, you know, all of the things around that are really, it's kind of taxing on our nervous system. It's really I'm finding it quite challenging in that sense of lacking the energy to kind of make the changes that need to be made in some some regards. Um, I'm certainly not one for just giving up and rolling over, so to speak. I definitely am one to get up and fight and move forward with things and not fight, as in you know, physically fighting or anything like that. But but it certainly gives me, um, a lot, a big fire in my belly when I'm starting to feel like no things need to change. I need to make a change for myself, I need to find a way to help me feel better, all those sorts of things. So it's just interesting that this feeling at the moment is so taxing on the system. So, yeah, I'm sending you lots of love if you're feeling the same, because it's an interesting time to be trying to move through some of these big energies as well. So sending you big hugs if you do need them. But again, just know you're not alone in that and, from what I can gather, it definitely seems quite normal.
Speaker 1:One of the things that brought this to my attention in a big way today. It's been kind of sitting there. I've been noticing in different ways, like you know, feeling like I am just always needed by someone, but it's never enough. Like you know, being a mum, it's, uh, definitely like that for a lot of people. I find it's it's interesting. I love my children, I love being at home with them all the time. I love homeschooling them. I love everything about it.
Speaker 1:But there are some days where, no matter what you do, it does not seem to be enough. And those are the days I just turn around, I'm like, oh, I just I feel like, no matter what I do, it's never enough or it's not right, or it's this or it's that, and I just want to have a break. And I know many people are like that in their workplaces. It's just that whole feeling of not really being valued in some way, and you kind of, after a while, start to feel defeated and start to feel like, well, why should I bother? And you know, if I go out of my way to do this or do that and not be recognized or not be appreciated for it, then what's the point, you know? And so what I've noticed today, you know, really, really loudly spoken to me was, you know, I really had a moment of a very trivial thing, just breaking the camel's back. You know, I it was a. It was seemed very relevant in the moment. But now I look back I'm like, oh, that was a two-year-old tantrum, gemma, so it makes me, makes me laugh.
Speaker 1:But I was trying to start the lawnmower, our ride on lawnmower, and I couldn't find the key. And so I went through this whole key chain of keys trying to find the right one. And then my husband walks in and he's like what are you doing? I'm like I'm just sat there crying and I was like I've just been through all of these keys and none of them are working. And he just picks up this key from another spot and he's like it's really not that hard. And I was like that's it. I'm like fuck this. And I drove off in my car because we were at our farm and I was like this is not okay, I am done, I am so done with this. And I just, I literally just came home and went to the kitchen and put dinner on and just that was that. I didn't. Oh, my goodness, I just had that moment of just it's all too much, everything was too much and I just had to get out of the space and you know, if you feel like that from time to time, just know that it's okay.
Speaker 1:What I did, before I come home and put the dinner on, actually I sat down and I wrote out using the four quadrants of life. And I wrote out, using the four quadrants of life, each emotion or theme or feeling or the stuff that was kind of coming up in that. So the way I did that was I wrote down the four quadrants. So there is quadrant one is relationships. Quadrant two is money and finance or business. Quadrant three is health and well-being. Quadrant four is faith and spirituality. So there's these four quadrants that I like to look at.
Speaker 1:And when I look at those four quadrants and what the theme is, and when I look at those four quadrants and what the theme is, which was that feeling of defeat and just that, you know, feeling unappreciated or just like you can't get ahead and like those sorts of words. I just started writing down what is it that I'm feeling, what is the overarching theme here? And then I went into each of those quadrants and just really looked at and wrote down anything that came up Like what am I feeling in this quadrant relating to these things? And it was really interesting to see really what was coming up in those spaces, because they're all very different spaces and sometimes we look at what we're feeling right now. It might be defeated, but then it's about all of these things and all of the stuff that people require of us every day, that we're just struggling to give. And yet you could add that theme, an overarching theme, into the finance and money and business category and work category and you realize, oh, that's where the majority of the problem lies, not actually with me, so it's.
Speaker 1:It can be quite revealing when you're looking at that, because sometimes, you know, for me I looked at my quadrants and I'm like I am really feeling quite disconnected spiritually because I haven't been practicing a lot, I haven't been doing, you know, a lot of work in that space, and so I realized, well, maybe that's where I need to also start to connect more. And then, you know, the defeat also came into my relationships, because at the moment my husband's working extra hours and it's been, you know, a few months that we haven't had that connection either, and so it's like, well, there's connection again and you know, with the defeat, part of that in the relationships, it's like I just am at that point where I feel like I was constantly having to do everything. You know and I know a lot of mums especially, you know, if you're a single parent and that sort of thing, you can relate to that, and I'm very fortunate that I'm not a single parent, but I can only imagine that would be amplified. Those feelings would be amplified when that's the case and you're not feeling supported, and so that is something that I had to sit there and look at, and so then I wrote down a bit more, I journaled a little bit on, you know, what is needing to change, like what? What is a way that I can look at this differently? And again, it's always fascinating to see what comes up in those moments.
Speaker 1:And where you started at this, you know, I couldn't get the lawnmower out of the shed because I couldn't find the key, and that was like the straw that broke the camel's back. Couldn't find the key, and that was like the straw that broke the camel's back. And yet it turned out that actually I was feeling depleted and disconnected and unsupported. I'm like, how do they even correlate? Like my brain can't even get my head, like I can't even get my head around it, and so I just know that that's where the energy is is, like you know, not connecting well with each other, it's not speaking towards each other and integrating some of that stuff. So it's been a fascinating day, to say the least, but certainly an eye-opening one.
Speaker 1:So if you ever have a moment like that where you have your little temper tantrum and out you go, off, you go, it's a really good time to sit down and actually use that four quadrants and see what the theme is and what is actually happening under the surface is actually happening under the surface. Um, once upon a time I would have come home and gone down a guilt path because I'd, you know, left my husband with the children and I was cranky and you know what's he gonna think and what are they gonna do and all that sort of stuff. I would have just been all in my head about it. But I knew in my heart that I needed to use that time wisely that I had and I sat and I did that and I tell you what, when you choose to to do that and to make those moves, to start to uncover what's actually happening, it can really make a difference. It can really change the energy in your day. You know, I still was feeling a bit average by the time I'd finished and came and cooked dinner and all that sort of thing, but within a few hours it was like, oh, that was really needed.
Speaker 1:And I think that's something really important to remember is sometimes, even though we've looked at it and we've written it down on paper and we can kind of see it for what it is, it doesn't always instantly integrate in our system. It doesn't instantly shift. It can, it absolutely can. But some of these things where it's multi-layered and multi-faceted, it can definitely take a bit of time, and sometimes that's a couple of days to integrate, sometimes it's a few hours. So just something to keep in mind that you know, if you do sit down and do some of this inner work, that it can take a little bit of time and just be gentle with yourself.
Speaker 1:Beautiful, and with that said, my guides would like to come in and have a little chat with us about this overarching theme of feeling defeated, feeling unsupported and all those sorts of things. So we'll see where it takes us and, as always, there may be light, language and tone sounds happening. That is all just part of the channel, depending on who's coming in. So sit with that, allow it to just be absorbed into your system. And again, if this message seems a little bit left of field, again I just remind you to come into your heart space and receive the energy, more so than the words and information. I will just take a moment to get into the channel and we will hear what my guides have to say. Thank you, we thank you, we thank you for being here today. We are a collective energy here tonight to bring you this information, bring you some new light into your life, into your world.
Speaker 1:In regards to this topic of feeling defeated, feeling unsupported and, in a lot of cases, just really disconnected, this is not an uncommon experience for many humans on your planet. This is not an unusual experience to find most people in at this time, in at this time. If you could see the collective energy, if you could see the grid of the earth, of the world that you live in, you would see why we say that. You would see how connected each and every one of you are. But you will also then be able to see how disconnected you each are, not only from just each other, but also from yourself. You see, we are working outside of the earth. There's many, many people, many, many species, many spiritual beings, whatever you may like to call us. We are working outside of the earth, on the grid, to try and connect each of you together again, to bring back the one in oneness.
Speaker 1:But when you are disconnected in the way that you are, it can be quite challenging. You can liken this to us dropping water into a bucket, but it takes a while for things to join together, to join and make a puddle, to start to fill that bucket. We're just dropping things one at a time, but the more that we do that and the more that you come together, the bigger the awakening and the more power that you have, the more connection you have, the less defeated you feel, because when you are together in oneness, you feel supported and loved, no matter what. You would hear stories all the time of how each of you are feeling, and you would then recognize yourself in that and know that you are not alone. This is why stories have always been the most powerful method of communication on your planet. All of the indigenous tribes used communication through stories so that each of them felt connected. It's not just the words, it's the resonance, it's the remembrance of those stories. So we are asking you of those stories.
Speaker 1:So we are asking you can you move into resonance with things outside of what you're feeling? In other words, can you find something that feels better than defeat? Can you find something that feels better than disconnection? And if you can, and when you do, you can fill your body with those feelings. You can fill your body with those feelings, whether that be peace, whether that be calm, whether that be connection and love and support, whatever that may look like, whatever that may feel like for you. Fill up your field, fill your body with it until it overflows into your energy field. Because once it is in your energy field, you can then create resonance with others.
Speaker 1:Resonance means you are going to connect and feel supported by others around you. You are going to attract those which are meant for you, those which are meant for you. But until you are putting this energy into your resonance field, you will not be attracting those people. They can't find you, you haven't got your light turned on so they cannot see what is happening for you. And that is how you will move out of the space you are in and into where you want to go. But the key thing to remember here is that unless you have asked yourself where do I want to go, you will not know which way to start heading. Think of it as if you are jumping in one of your cars and you are setting your GPS maps, but you forgot to put in the address and now, as you're driving down the highway, you don't know where to stop, you don't know which road to take because you forgot the most important step you didn't set your address, your destination. How is the universe going to bring you what you need when you haven't set the destination? Because right now, you are likely still going down the road of defeat, of feeling unsupported, of feeling confused and frustrated Because you forgot to set your address and the destination to peace? The destination to peace? 1116 peace road, peace town.
Speaker 1:What is it that you want in your life? What if? Feelings, emotions? How do you want to feel every day? How would you like to be in the world? How are you going to show up every day? How would you like to be in the world? How are you going to show up every day? Instead of looking at the what, look at the how. How are you going to show up? Who do you need to be today in order to create the life you want? Do you need to learn something new? Do you need to start a new habit? Do you need to drop old habits? Do you need to learn something new? Do you need to start a new habit? Do you need to drop old habits? Do you need to connect with somebody different? Do you need to set better boundaries? What is it that you need to learn and do today in order to be the person to get you to the destination? If you want to stop feeling defeated, you need to set the destination to somewhere other than defeated.
Speaker 1:We know that we're going around and around in circles in different ways, but saying the same thing, because your mind is confused. Your mind is a little bit what we would say way. The way we see it is, it's like a ball of wool that's being just twisted and turned and twirled back together instead of gently and purposefully rolled into a beautiful, easy to unroll thread. At the moment, it's so tied up that your mind can't find the destination because it forgot to ask, forgot the most important step, and this is where feeling disconnection comes into play, because you're disconnected from your body, from your heart. Your mind is in the driver's seat and that's not a great place to be. And that's not a great place to be.
Speaker 1:Your mind is an asset when you use your heart first. When you use your heart first, you know the destination that feels best, not the one that you think is going to get you somewhere faster. Your brain and your mind like to shortcut things, and that's not always the easiest route, that's not always the most comfortable and smoothest road to take, but your heart, your heart knows, your heart knows the destination and the road that is smooth to get there. Your heart knows the joy. Your mind doesn't. Your mind complicates it. Your heart knows the excitement and the joy and it knows which way to go.
Speaker 1:So you're coming back. You're coming back from your mind to your heart, reconnecting with your body. The way we see it, your soul is in your heart. It's not outside of you. Your higher self is not above you. Your higher self is in the highest frequency part of your body, which is your heart. Your heart holds the highest frequency, so your higher self resides there. Why would it not?
Speaker 1:So this is a very important lesson here, a lesson you really must start to understand, and, yes, we are being very direct here today, but the point is that humans have forgotten how to move from defeat to joy and happiness, to peace, to pleasant. You're not going to also go straight from feeling defeated to feeling the elation every single day. That's not the way it works. The way it works is that you set your destination to where you wish to be and then you start driving the road which moves from the city you're in, which is defeat, through other towns and other cities and other suburbs until you reach your destination. And sometimes they're not all pleasant, and that is something to remember, which is why you need to set your destination. Otherwise you veer off down the street, down the road, in a whole new town of the same thing, you move from defeat city to unsupported town and then you drive down every single road you can find because you've forgotten which way to go. You've forgotten heart. Set your GPS and let your heart lead you, and that is all we have for you tonight.
Speaker 1:We wish to be clear and concise with this information, because this if you get this right, if you start to do this and start to set your destination once a week, once a month, every day, whatever you choose, and focus on that point and who you have to be in that day, in that moment, to be able to reach that destination. To be able to reach that destination, do you need to learn something? Is there something you don't know how to do? If you want this in your life, do you need to learn something? Do you need to just show up and just be this type of person? Who do you need to be? Who do you need to have a conversation with? Who do you need to surround yourself with? What habits do you need to take on or drop? Ask yourself those questions, but the most important thing is to set your destination, get into your heart and ask it how to get there. What is the next stage? Where do I need to be now? Put the heart in the driver's seat, and your destination will be here quicker than you could have imagined, and it would be smoother and easier than you could have possibly imagined. We hope that this is helpful and we leave you with so much love, so much peace, and encourage you to be brave and take that step, make that choice, sending you love, and I am back.
Speaker 1:Wow, what an interesting channel that was. It always always, excuse me, it always blows my mind when I hear some of these things that they say, even though we've heard it a thousand times before, it just resonates on a different level. It really hits home. Setting that destination. We just it's so easy to forget, isn't it? You know, we get to the full moon or the new moon and we're like setting new in you know intentions and letting go of old things and refocusing.
Speaker 1:But if we did that every day or once a week and just reset the gps because that changes quite a lot you know, one moment you might be feeling like this is the direction you want to take, this is this is what you'd like in your, in your life, and then next minute you're like oh no, hang on, I might have changed my mind and you're allowed to do that. That's the beautiful part. It's your life that you're creating and if you find something better that just really lights you up, then go for that. That's something I'm starting to learn so much more is that the more we can step into that heart space, into that joy, into that bliss, the more we can reach that destination in a lot faster time frame. I I'm continually finding it fascinating to witness myself shifting and changing in what I thought I wanted and and this is a really clear message for me as well to really reset that destination and lead with my heart, because it is so easy for us to start to allow our mind to take over. So that is just a beautiful message.
Speaker 1:I don't need to add anything to that. I feel like it's a very well-rounded message from my team tonight. So, yeah, I will leave you there and send you lots of love.
