Ep. 16 | Where Woo Meets Science: A New Chapter for The Ultra Aligned Podcast

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 

|

Overview

This isn’t just a podcast update - it’s a transformation.
In this episode, Claire shares a heartfelt shift in direction for The Ultra Aligned Podcast, transitioning from mediumship storytelling to an educational hub for mediums, energy workers, lightworkers, and anyone curious about the intersection of science, spirit, and self-awareness.

Key Takeaways

• The podcast is evolving into an educational platform for energy workers, mindset coaches, and lightworkers.
• There is immense value in combining “the woo” with neuroscience, psychology, and mindset tools.
• Self-awareness and subconscious understanding can impact our ability to connect with energy and spirit.
• Personal development and spiritual development are not separate - they’re deeply interwoven.
• Embarrassment is a survival-driven emotion that often limits self-expression and alignment.

Problem-Solution Explanation

Problem: Many energy workers feel like something’s missing in traditional development tools. Mediumship often gets dismissed as “too woo,” while mindset work can feel cold or too focused on logic. There’s rarely a space where both the spiritual and the scientific sides come together in a way that makes sense.

Solution: Claire’s new direction for the podcast bridges this gap by combining subconscious work, mindset coaching, and mediumship. It offers a grounded yet expansive learning space where energy workers can better understand themselves, develop their intuitive gifts, and show up with aligned confidence.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Ultra Aligned Podcast. I hope you are having an amazing day wherever you are. Before we even dive into today's episode. I just wanna say thank you for giving your time and your energy for being here. It truly means so much to me that you would sit down or drive your car and listen to this podcast. But thank you so, so much for, for giving me your time and your energy. It means so much to me. I also just wanna say there is a lot going on in the world right now, especially if you are living in the States. Um, at the time that I am uploading this, it is February 2nd, 2026. So there is a lot going on right now and I just want to send out a, like a message of love and hope and honestly just a reminder to stand up for what is right and stand up for what. Feels right to you? Um, there's a lot going on, a lot of scary things. I do recognize that it is, um, I do come from a place of privilege to even be sitting here recording this episode in my, in my bedroom, um, because I feel safe in my home and. That is a luxury and a privilege. And so I am, I'm very thankful for that. And I just want to remind everyone that, there's a lot of people who don't have that. So any way that you can give, that you can donate, whether it's time, whether it's money, energy, um, I'm a big believer in donating knowledge. So, um, sharing your voice, you know, even if you don't have a huge platform of a million followers. I think it's so important to share your voice, um, and really stand up for what's right. I think that's what we need right now in this world, and we're not gonna get anywhere with, with hate, you know, we're, we really are going to get places and as a collective when we come from a place of love. Um, this podcast is. No, not political and nowhere near political in any way. But I do feel it is incredibly important just to put that out there in the universe, to stand up for what is right and to remember to come from a place of love and not hate. So with that being said, we can get into today's episode, which is gonna be kind of a gear changer. I am. Really switching gears with this podcast. When I started this podcast, the whole idea around it was to share my experiences as a medium, share any insights, any tools, whatever that might be as a medium. And when I started this podcast, I really didn't know where I was going with it. I think a lot of us don't really know where we're going with anything anymore, anymore when we get first get started. Um, but I'm really proud of myself that I even put this podcast out there and started it because that really was like the beginning point for me. So I am changing gears with this podcast. So going forward, what this will look like, will be more of an educational tool for energy workers, light workers, um, people who are in the world of energy, who recognize the world of energy. I really love the idea of combining the woo and the science behind everything. I am someone who I nerd out on research and information. I love facts, but I also believe in the unknown. So this place will really, or this space will really be a place where we can combine both of those aspects and really blend them together in a, in a really beautiful way. I'm gonna go ahead and dive into why I am changing gears of this podcast. Kind of give an idea of what, what I'm looking at, what I feel like I want this podcast to be, and just kind of share overall what's been going on in my life with the podcast. So I think I've mentioned before, I've been taking a course, um, through yes supply, the yes, the yes supply method. It's a mindset coach certification program where we get certified as a coach. We also get certified in hypnosis, neural energetic encoding, neural energetic wiring, and EFT, which is emotional freedom techniques. So with that being said, I'm graduating in like two weeks from that program, which is super exciting, super cool. And along my journey through that course, I really recognized that so many things. In that world kind of correlate and are congruent with the world of mediumship and the woo and all the things. And so I really have been striving to find a really cool blending of both of those worlds, um, in the world of mindset coaching. You know, we talk about the subconscious and shifting the subconscious, with hypnosis, you know, you are, you're speaking directly to the subconscious. And in mediumship we are blending with spirits. We are blending with energies to communicate on a very subconscious level. Or in my belief it is subconscious. My mediumship is not something I consciously do. I might be consciously speaking. But the act and the art of connecting mediumistic with another energy very much so is a subconscious thing. I can't control what comes through. Um, things come through in symbols for me, things come through very quickly and it does feel like it is. The best way I can explain it is like when you recall a memory, say like you recall a memory from childhood, it doesn't like. No one shows up in your room and acts out that memory like and performs the play in front of you. Like it very much So is like a, you have the visual memory or you, maybe you have the feeling that comes up or maybe you hear sounds that come up. Mediumship is very much so like that. It's like recalling a memory. And for me, the best way I can explain it that happens for me is that I connect my subconscious to. Your loved one's, subconscious I'm a firm believer that consciousness lives on and continues on. So we are really just connecting conscious to conscious. And in the world of mindset coaching, I really recognize that there's a lot. Of different ways to connect with your subconscious mind. And I thought it was very interesting because I came to know myself quite a bit better and I wondered, okay, if I can take this, this, this mindset coaching, if I can know myself a little bit better through mindset coaching by the transit of property, if that's even the right thing to say here, by the transit of property, that can only better. My connection with spirit, with energy, because I'm knowing myself better. I'm knowing how I work better on a subconscious level. I know how I take in information better. I know, um, if I'm more visual, more kinesthetic, more auditory, I know myself better in this way on this more human level. Okay. What if I just move that over here with the mediumship? I feel like if I know myself better. On a human level, I know how I represent and how I take in information from loved ones, from energy, from consciousness on the other side, wherever they may be. So with that being said, how am I gonna do this? My goal here, really, it has always been to help people and I've always been someone, I've always loved educating. I've always loved being a teacher. I've never been a teacher like someone who goes to a classroom and teaches students. Um, I actually take that back. I was a teacher one time actually. I subbed in for someone, uh, a friend of mine who went on maternity leave and I did teach a, like a 12 week program, come to think of it. So actually I am a teacher. How about that? But anyway, so I've always loved educating. When I was a veterinary technician, one of my favorite things to do was to educate people on the reproductive cycle of animals. I loved talking about it. I loved explaining it. I loved explaining the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. I really, I really liked everything about that, and I recognize that at my core, I am a teacher, I am an educator, so how do I put this out into the world? I think that for me, for me, my experience. When I was developing my mediumship, there was so much that resonated with me, but there was a lot that didn't resonate with me, and it wasn't that it was wrong, I don't think anything anyone does is, well. I don't think anyone, anything anyone does to develop their mediumship or their psychic abilities, whatever it may be, is wrong. Your way is the right way. But for me, a lot of things didn't resonate with me because I was missing like that extra little fact. I think I was missing just that little bit of science and it doesn't have to be like, we're not here to like. Bring all the science into mediumship, maybe we will, I don't know. But I really wanted just a little bit more information on how things worked, how my brain worked, how I was communicating, how I was connecting, and are we, we don't, we don't know exactly how mediumship works. I think we will know in the future. But right now we don't have any scientific proof of how it works. But for me, I wanted an answer. I'm someone I want answers. I wanna know how it works for me. Now, how it works for me is going to look very different from how it works for you. But the goal for this podcast is to offer. A different perspective on mediumship and a different perspective on how to develop and learn and grow your energy work, whatever that may be. I use mediumship only because like that's, you know, that's what I use. So that's kinda my example. But really it's for anything, anything in the energy field and any, anything in the energy work. Um. Or the lightworker field. You can use this towards anything. It applies towards all. And so that's kind of why I'm wanting to do it. I'm wanting to offer a, a new approach or a new perspective on energy work because I think it's such an underrated field. And I think there's so many benefits to it, and I think a lot of the time people get really hung up on it because it's too woo or it's too, oh, you all are doing like voodoo weird stuff. I think it goes underrated so much so because it has that label on it. And I think that it's really, we're really missing an opportunity here. I think we're really missing out on a really cool opportunity here to one. Better our lives, better how we live, enjoy our life, understand the cycles, the patterns of our life, understand how we operate so we can start predicting those cycles, those behaviors, one first and foremost better ourselves, but two, better understand how the world of energy, how the world of spirit. Moves through us. I feel like if we can truly embody who we are as humans, truly embody that aspect of us, our true identity, that true self, it can only better our connection with spirit and energy. I feel like that's like obvious kind of, you know what I'm saying? Like I feel like if we better understand ourselves, we're only gonna better understand how we operate as energetic beings. So going forward, I truly think that my game plan is going to be using different episodes for new techniques, new tools, new insights. Um, I might have guests on, I might have, um, you know, I might have like research articles. I don't know, I don't know what this is gonna look like, but I think that's my plan going forward is to have episodes dedicated to specific. Teaching specific learnings and specific opportunities that you can use in your life to ultimately better your life. We're not here to gate keep. I'm not here to like keep information from you. I want you to live your most beautiful, fulfilled, desired, abundant life. Like that's what I want for people. At the end of the day, I want people to strive to thrive, to do all of the things. Um, I don't want to see anyone stuck, you know, getting stuck. It's gonna happen, but we can recognize it so much quicker and we can get out of that stuck state so much quicker. And I think that's the beauty in it, because people stay stuck for years, sometimes lifetimes, and it's just, it's not necessary. We can recognize that stuck behavior so much quicker. And get out of it so we can continue moving forward in our life. And I really think there's just a lot of beauty in it, honestly. Just, just being able to live that most desire that most fulfilled like life and to really, you know, manifest all, all of the things that you desire. That was one of my biggest things was if I can manifest my life, the what, what I, what if I can manifest it? Like, I'll be golden. But the problem was I wasn't manifesting from the, from the identity that I needed to manifest from. And so I was getting so freaking mad. I was so frustrated because nothing was working. It felt like nothing was working. Things were absolutely working for me. I was really in an integration period. I just couldn't see that. And being on the other side of it. Now looking back in. That's absolutely what was happening was I was integrating all of those things that I had learned up, up until that point. But I was trying so hard to manifest from that space and it wasn't the right energy to manifest from. So then I was just getting mad because nothing was working for me or so I thought nothing was working for me. But again, if we can get, or if I can help people get to a place where they feel. Their, their most true self and their most abundant self, even if it's not like, even if you don't have everything that you've ever desired. I'm telling you, there is so much power, and I use the word power here in a positive way. There is so much power in knowing who you are. There is so much power. And knowing your true identity, because all of a sudden it's like this domino effect. All of a sudden one thing starts happening and you just, you start like things start snowballing. I was someone who literally a year ago or two years ago, if you told me that I was gonna be putting a podcast out or like. Making a reel on Instagram, I would've laughed in your face. I would have laughed in your face. Because, because I'm absolutely not. That's not me. That's embarrassing. Like, are you kidding me? And I realized that it wasn't because I was embarrassed or think people, or think that people who put reels out and podcasts out are embarrassing. I realized that I was projecting myself onto those people and thinking. I would be so embarrassed. Like I would be so nervous, I would feel so uncomfortable if I did that. And I was projecting that out as like, that's embarrassing. Like what they do is embarrassing. Like so cringey e gross, and like, I was so wrong. I was so wrong to think that because to this day, like today, I think it's one of the most powerful things you can do to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. Um, I can't think of his name right now. Oh my gosh, I can't think of his name. Is it Austin? Austin Butler? Maybe. I don't know. He, so I think his name's Austin. There is like a TikTok or something going around of him talking about embarrassment and he says embarrassment is an under, explored emotion. And I absolutely think that it is so incredibly true. Embarrassment is an emotion. A widely unexplored emotion. We as humans want to please other humans, and when we don't please other humans or when they're making fun of us, we feel threatened. We feel like our survival is threatened because we need community to survive. And if our community thinks that we are different, we fear on like a subconscious level that they're going to oust us and we're going to literally die because. We don't have that community. Way back when, when we were living in caves, if our group exiled us from the group. We have no way of survival. You know, we, we have threats that we're gonna face. We have, um, no way of reproducing, we have no way of, you know, staying warm with the community, with the collective on like cold days. Like Our brains haven't. Changed for the past 50,000 years or more. So our brains literally have been the exact same from since we were in the case. The newest part of our brain is the prefrontal(neocortex) cortex. That's the newest development. But the survival instincts, those, those core instincts haven't changed for the past 50,000 plus years. And so we are constantly living in a world of. Threats of saber tooth tigers, it of, um, being exiled from our group. Like we are constantly living in a state of survival. In a world that is so advanced from where our brains are. It's insane. Again, going forward, I really want this podcast to be an educational tool for energy workers, people in the energy field or in the energy world, lightworkers, medium psychics, tarot readers, whomever this is for you. Use this as an educational tool. I might talk about developing mediumship. I, I'm sure at some point I will talk about that, but this is not going to be a container where I'm like, here's how to become a medium. This container is going to be, here is how I can better explore myself. Shift what doesn't work for me, enhance what does work for me. Bring it all together in a beautiful way, integrate in a beautiful way to then therefore continue on in my development journey. So this really is like a transformation platform, and that's what I want it to be. So with that being said. I am going to go ahead and close out this episode. I know I rambled on for a really long time. I'm so sorry I have a cold and I'm so nasally. But with that being said, I hope you have an incredible day. I hope you explore so much of yourself today. Explore the under explored emotions, explore everything, get so curious about yourself. Get so curious about what you like and what you don't like, and if something makes you feel cringey or embarrassed. Explore it. Ask yourself, why do I feel this way? What, what makes me feel this way? Why am I feeling this? Exactly? And just, just explore it. Just sit with it. See what happens. Alright, I love you. I hope you have an amazing day. Bye.
