You Are Allowed To Feel Without Carrying Everything...AND... Intro to Miracles...

The world can feel like a nonstop stream of noise, and even the strongest, most capable people can end up carrying it in their bodies. We’re kicking off season two by slowing everything down, starting with three real breaths you can do right where you are. Then we ask the question most of us avoid because we’re busy holding it all together: how are you doing, really? If you’ve felt collective stress, emotional overload, or that quiet exhaustion under your smile, you’re not “too sensitive.” You’re aware, you’re human, and you care.

From there, we move into grounded spiritual healing and nervous system regulation that actually works in real life. We talk energetic boundaries, daily self check-ins, and the difference between feeling your feelings versus carrying every headline, fear, and expectation as if it’s your job. We also share a powerful reframe: what if you could start shaking your head in disbelief at the miracles unfolding around you instead of the chaos around you? Think unexpected support, perfect timing, and aligned opportunities that show up when you invest in yourself and follow what feels expansive.

We also get honest about relationships and environments that drain your energy, and we anchor the whole conversation in one simple truth you may need to hear today: you are worthy. Worthy of ease, joy, self love, and support. If you’re ready to come back to yourself, press play, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so this healing ripple can reach more hearts. What miracle are you willing to stay open to this week?

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Well, welcome before we get too far ahead.

Three Real Breaths Together

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Welcome back, beautiful soul. I'm so deeply grateful you're here with me today. Before we begin, I want to gently invite you to take a breath. We're gonna do this together, but I feel like sometimes when I say this, you know, we're quick to be like, okay, I'll take a breath. But let's take a real, real breath that we don't rush through. So pull over if you need to, or stop what you're doing just for a couple minutes. We will go ahead and take three. I was gonna start with one, but spirit is like, nope, we're gonna do three. And we're gonna just take slow deep breath into our nose now. Hold it a second and exhale. When you exhale, I really want you to feel your body just soften. Just let it out, let it out. Let's go again. Ready? Deep breath into your nose. Hold it and exhale. One more. Hold it and exhale. All right. Now let me ask you something. Not

The Weight Of Collective Overwhelm

SPEAKER_00 4:47

the surface level automatic response kind of question, like everything's fine, everything's fine. But a real one. How are you doing? Like, really, how how are you doing right now? The space that we share on Sacred Soul Sisters podcast, it really isn't just for women. I do typically cater to women for my retreats. Uh and but I mean, as far as for the podcast itself, for the information that we discuss, for the interviews, for all of that, it's not just for women. It's not just for one type of person. It's not for one path, it's not for one identity. This space is for every soul who finds their way here, right? So no matter who you are, where you come from, what you believe, what you're walking through, what gender you are, what race you are, any of that, you are truly welcome here. And I want you to be here. You belong here. Because at the core of all of this, we're human and we are feeling, we are navigating in a world that can sometimes feel, well, I would say pretty often feel like an awful lot, right? And we're gonna kind of talk about that right now. So how many times uh have you shaken your head this week in disbelief? Like in confusion, overwhelm. Maybe even how many times have you done that just today? Right? That feeling of what the F is actually happening right now, just when we think we have seen or heard the worst of the worst idea or action that uh is taking place. What the actual F. What's going on in this world? And what am I even supposed to do with all of this? You know, I I want to remind you that you're not alone in that feeling. I want you to know that there is a huge collective energy right now that can feel heavy, chaotic, uncertain. And even for those of us who are doing, you know, inner work, the healing stuff are growing, it it still feels like a lot. Like legit a lot, right? You might find yourself moving through your day, showing up for your family, your work, your responsibilities, smiling when you need to, holding it all together. But underneath, there might be some quiet exhaustion, or there might be loud exhaustion. You can have this feeling of heaviness that you can't quite explain and a sense of emotional overload. I want you to hear this very clearly. There's nothing wrong with you. You're still that strong person, you're still that amazing human being. You're not too sensitive, you're not overreacting, you're not falling behind, you are feeling. And feeling in a world like this right now is actually a sign of your awareness, your humanity, your heart, your give a shit about the world. But here's where we gently shift.

Feel It Without Carrying It

SPEAKER_00 8:18

You are allowed to feel, okay, to be clear. You're not meant to carry everything, though. You're not meant to carry every headline, not every opinion, not every fear, not every expectation, and you don't have to hold the weight of the world in your body. Sometimes we're not even conscious of what we pick up throughout the day or throughout the minute, and that we just carry it on. We just add it onto ourselves, right? It's okay to pause. It's okay to step back. It's okay to turn down the noise and come back to yourself. Please make sure you're doing your check-ins with yourself. You know, with just asking, what what do I need right now? Do I need to scream in a pillow right now? Do I need to lock myself in the bathroom for a few minutes right now? What would support me in this moment? Hello,

I love you so much and have an awesome rest of your day. And let's get back to the episode.

Stop Overgiving And Check In

SPEAKER_00 11:23

Where am I overextending, overgiving, over consuming? Because so many of you, you give and you give and you give and you give and you give. But somewhere along the way, you forget to check in with you. So I want this to be your reminder to come back to you. Come back to your body, come back to your heart. Even if it's just for a moment, put your hand on your heart. Remind yourself that you are here, you are exactly where you are supposed to be at this moment. You are safe in this moment, you do not have to figure everything out right this moment because you don't. You're allowed to take a moment. You're allowed to take a lot of moments, for that matter. But I also want to kind of shift this a different way, okay?

Trading Chaos For Miracles

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Let's see. What if we could get to a place where we were shaking our heads in disbelief, not at all the chaos, not at all the craziest, not at all the next headline, not at all the next oh my gosh, I almost choke even saying this because I start to get irritated and frustrated with the decisions that are made as a country that we as the country are not uh all in agreement with. So there's some of my human coming in. All right, and spirits bringing me right back. But what if we could get to a place where we were shaking our heads in disbelief, not at all of that, but at the miracles unfolding around us. The kind of disbelief, like that sounds like wait, what how did that just happen? Did did I just see that? Like, am I losing my mind? Like the spar the parking spot that you needed suddenly right there. The timing that works out in a way you couldn't have planned, the unexpected support, the perfect message, the aligned opportunity, or even something bigger, like receiving a check in the mail from an overpayment you made to the power company 10 years ago that you didn't even know existed. And somehow it shows up at the exact amount you need for that retreat or that experience or that thing your soul has been calling you toward. The thing you kept saying, Well, I just don't have the money right now. And yet it arrives not by force, not by overworking, but by something much deeper, reminding that you are supported that something greater, spirit, the universe, God, sees you, sees your heart, sees your desire to grow, to heal, to invest in yourself. Because listen, when you choose to invest in you, when you choose to nourish your soul, when you choose to feed that light within you, that light grows and grows and it expands and it radiates and it begins to attract more, more support, more alignment, more opportunities, more moments that make you pause and say, Whoa. That feels like magic. And maybe, just maybe, those miracles aren't random. Maybe they're a reflection of you coming back into alignment with who you truly are. There are so many moments in life, and I think most of us are conditioned this way where we've got to work hard for everything. We've got to just, you know, we gotta put our into every single thing that we do. And spirit so often is like, listen, I want you to follow that desire in your heart, that desire of your soul, the reason that you are here. I want you to follow that. And every time you follow that beautiful, igniting a feeling, like, for instance, when I am, you know, considering, okay, let me back up. I'm not always the one considering, but spirit, you know, will, you know, nudge me towards a uh retreat to do or a workshop to do or a training to do or a speaking event. And I am, there's this huge part of my soul that gets super excited, right? But there's this ego part of me and this headstrong part of me that is like, oh yeah, but no, I can't do that. I'm not so-and-so. I know I can I can't do that. Like, what have you lost your mind? I can't do that.

Meditation And Following The Giddy Yes

SPEAKER_00 16:17

However, then when I do my meditation, which I try to be very good about, at least minimum a couple times a week, because it's so important to quiet your mind. And whether you just have to sit in silence and not allow the radio, social media, anything to be on and just see what happens, that's fine too. Your mind may go crazy for 500 hours. And but the more you do it, it gets better. Anyway, in those moments when I'm quiet, the excitement that takes over and the happiness and this glowing feeling of warmth like starting to get bigger and bigger in me, because I love doing all of those things. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy doing the oh my gosh, like leading retreats and being able to pour back into people and oh my gosh, remind them how love they are. Like I I get so freaking excited. But if I'm not paying attention and I'm not investing in myself those moments of quietness, I will go completely the opposite way to the point that I'll be like, I don't know if I should do this. I just I let's just cancel it. It's a whole thing. Now, back up. So when I stay diligent in my moments of quietness, right? And I want to um facilitate a retreat, let's say, you guys, it is insane. The moment that I get giddy in it, and that I really feel into it and I am so excited about it. First of all, that's your sign, you need to be doing it. Okay. And I'm probably saying that out loud out loud to remind myself, but you need to do it. If it makes you feel giddy, if it makes you feel so excited, that childlike excitement and expansion, you're supposed to be doing it. Now, what happens, and I almost wish I had some sort of like um energetic glasses or something that I would put on because what happens is it's insane after that, is you'll get a call maybe even that same day or the next day, and somebody being like, you know what, it's so weird. I had a stream last night, and you were leading this retreat and you were talking about this topic, and you're like, what the fuck? I didn't tell anybody about that. And then you find out, like, um, I don't know, two days later, there's like a venue that you've really been, you know, wanting to have it at. You've been kind of daydreaming, and and you're like, well, I don't know, I'm sure they're probably booked, even though this thing that you want to do is several months out. And uh you are trying to go run errands, but you feel this nudge, like, no, no, no, go talk to the venue now. Right now. Right now? Okay, fine. You go talk to the venue and you're like, you know, I'm I'm considering doing a retreat at this such and such date. But um, you know, you probably don't have any openings, and they're like, you know what, we probably don't. We're usually really booked, but let me go ahead and check. And the exact weekend you're wanting to do it, they're like, oh, actually, that's the only weekend we have open. That's strange. And you're like, what the actual oh like, and this stuff happens all the time. The universe is so, so excited to assist you in this process. And truly, all you have to do, and I know it's not easy a lot of times, especially in this world, it it's hard to not get distracted with all the bullshit that is happening around us. But when you can keep bringing yourself back and keep reining yourself in and you can stay in that vibration of excitement, honey, the world responds to you. And everything starts to fall in place. And every time I go to spirit and I'm like, but how I don't I don't know how. And they're like, stop worrying about how you just design what it is you feel called to do and you want to do, and we'll take care of the rest. And they do, they do it's insane every time. I mean, when I talk with my friends about this, we talk about this all the time. Like we're so geeked out, like we're just like, oh my gosh, you're not gonna believe what happened. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like it's so exciting. And the more gratitude you build every single time this happens, you give gratitude and thanks, and and it just keeps going and going and going. Next week, you guys, we have an episode um with a dear friend of mine, and we go into a lot more about miracles and how they happen, and oh, you're gonna love that episode. Anyway, and and with my friend that I just interviewed uh last week on the podcast, you know, it's it's incredible. It's incredible the magic that the universe has waiting for you. You just gotta show up and allow yourself to be fed, allow your light to fed. Be fed, put yourself in situations where you feel good around those people.

Protect Your Energy Around People

SPEAKER_00 22:08

We're we can't be hanging out with people we feel shitty every time we leave them anymore. I understand sometimes we're in a circumstance where we literally cannot do anything about it. We are that caretaker for that person. But in circumstances where we're not, where it is just a quote, friend, unquote, that we've had for 45 years. And every single time we leave talking with them, we feel close to death. Like we feel like we're just dragging, barely hanging on. We feel miserable. Sometimes we gotta go take a nap after or go eat like 1800 little Debbies. Uh like little Debbie's being the snack cakes, just FYI. Um, you know, I mean, don't w no, we can't do that anymore. You are worthy of living in a high vibration. Let me rephrase that. Nope, just repeat it. You are worthy of living in a high vibration and feeling that beautiful frequency. Do you hear me?

Say It Out Loud: I Am Worthy

SPEAKER_00 23:22

You look in the mirror right now. Stop what you're doing. Find a mirror. And I want you to look in that mirror right now, and I want you to say, I am worthy. Come on, two more times. I am worthy. I I am worthy. Yes, you are. Oh, you are worthy. And the universe loves you so, so, so much. Your spirit teams love you so so so much. Your angels love you, your past loved ones love you, your several humans love you, your animals love you. You are so loved and so worthy and so needed right now. And the best form you can be, and that best form feels amazing. You got this. We love you here at the podcast. We love you too, and we know you're worthy. So,

Stay Open To Support And Possibility

SPEAKER_00 24:40

as we close today, I just want to say this again this message, this space, this conversation, it's for everyone. No matter your gender, no matter your background, no matter your beliefs, no matter your journey, if you are here, it's because something within you needed this reminder that you are not alone, that you are allowed to feel, and that you are also allowed to open yourself to possibility, to support, to miracles. I also want to share, we have an up we have that upcoming episode that goes deeper into this, into believing in miracles. There is a miracle story, you guys, that is gonna blow your mind.
