The summer solstice marks a sacred reset point in nature, inviting us to pause, reflect, and realign with our soul's purpose as we reach the midpoint of the year. This powerful time of maximum light offers a perfect opportunity to receive greater consciousness and reconnect with our true selves, moving beyond the constant striving that leaves many high achievers unfulfilled.

• Reflect on your progress by categorising wins into spiritual, personal, and business achievements 
• Acknowledge that what you're experiencing now was once just a vision – appreciate your current reality
• Release and let go of old goals, beliefs, or relationships that no longer serve your highest evolution
• Connect with the feelings behind your desires rather than chasing external outcomes
• Use the "imagining your death" exercise to gain clarity on what truly matters and activate aligned action
• Set your frequency to gratitude and presence to receive the magic that's already waiting for you
• Remember that transformation follows a death and rebirth process – personal growth requires letting go

Take time this solstice to create space for reflection. Share how this practice impacts you by DMing me on Instagram – I'd love to hear your insights and discoveries!

Speaker 1:

Hello Soul Diggers, welcome back to another episode and welcome back Summer. It's official. We in the Northern Hemisphere are celebrating the official start of summer. So June 20th and 21st we are here. We are halfway through the year, guys.

Speaker 1:

Guys like, where has this year gone? Guys, guys like where has this year gone? Right, and this is why it's so, so important to use this time that nature gave us. Nature gave us this reset point so that we can pause and reflect and allow ourselves to recalibrate to recenter and to reconnect to the truth of our soul and ask ourselves you know, are we in full alignment with our soul's purpose? Where are we right now in relationship to our dreams and goals? Because, especially the high achievers out there I know who you are, I'm also one of them it can seem like there's this never-ending horizon that just continues to go and grow and there's this gap that could never be filled, and I can guarantee that where you are right now was once a dream, was once a vision, and unless you pause and stop and reflect and allow yourself to appreciate and receive the life you have and who you've become, you will never be fulfilled. You won't. It's not going to be in the next goal, the next business, the next amount of money in your account. That's what you think it might be, that's what the ego wants you to believe.

Speaker 1:

However, as we talk about all the time on the show, the present moment is where the future exists. The future doesn't actually even exist outside of this moment. Like the past is history, the future is a mystery, and right now is where every single thing is happening. So we can often get caught up, especially as women, in constantly chasing high, achieving and doing. However, if you look at our bodies, for example, we are born to receive I'm keeping it clean, don't you worry. We're born to receive, not just intimately with partnership, but intimately with life, and this is your opportunity to dig deep and be intimate with your soul. Oh gosh, there is no better feeling than feeling yourself and your soul and feeling seen by others and by yourself, and allowing yourself to feel your majesty and your power. And so this is, this is the time that nature gave us to do that, and it is a sacred time, a sacred portal.

Speaker 1:

You know we're experiencing the most amount of light that's coming down into the earth. So if you think about you know, it's still light at 9.30pm where I'm living right. So we've got the longest days, which is the longest amounts of light that are entering the planet, that are entering our cells, and the sun gives life, it's life giving, it's life force, it's vitality, it's abundance, it's growth, it's consciousness, and so we have been receiving, over the past few days, large amounts of consciousness. And it's when we slow down and we pause, where we can really allow that to just like filter through ourselves and our soul. So, yeah, isn't that fascinating that, like this time of year, like there's so much light and usually if you've been experiencing some darkness or some breakdowns listen, it's totally normal Like when there's a lot of light that wants to come through the vessel, the body. There has to be this space of darkness, of void, before the light can come in, so that we can learn to hold and receive and receive more and receive more. And we, we, yeah, just have to be with all of life. You know, the light and the dark and and seeing it all as just a beautiful experience, it's that's helping us to us to come home to ourselves and our fulfillment.

Speaker 1:

Because, like I said, if there's this constant, constant, constant striving and we're not arriving, then life's just going to be miserable, no matter how much money you make. So let's set the intention, and I would love for you guys to be accountable to me on this, because I know how busy life gets and there's always something else to do. There's something more busy out there, something to do. Listen, stop doing for a second being is the way to unlock your next level, and if you want to receive your dreams and your aspirations and all the things you put on your vision board at the start of this year, now is the time, because there's six months left until we start 2026. And so this is the most productive thing you can do, and so this is the most productive thing you can do.

Speaker 1:

So allow this podcast to slow you down. Grab a pen and paper. Either grab one now and make some notes, or take some time after this. Dedicate at least an hour or two to just be, pause, reflect and realign. The solstice is the peak of the sun's power, and so this is the peak of your power, and it's a perfect time to check in with your own inner light and see if you are in full alignment with your soul.

Speaker 1:

So reflecting this is so important salt. So reflecting this is so important. Measuring yourself backwards. I know I've been through phases of this where I've, like you know, done my 90 day goals every 90 days and I reflected, and then, you know, I've mapped out where I want to go in the future and I've also lost that along the way and I haven't reflected as much as I used to, and so, again, there's this gap that appears when we never allow ourselves to feel like we're arrived and we're successful. So actually measuring yourself backwards and reflecting is probably the most important thing to do, the most important thing to do so.

Speaker 1:

I would love for you to write down these three different categories. Okay, so you've got business wins, personal wins, spiritual wins. Yeah, so the past six months, what have your three biggest business wins been? What have your three biggest personal wins been? What are your three biggest spiritual wins been? So, the spiritual wins, meaning your growth, your transformation.

Speaker 1:

I know one of mine is finding Kabbalah. Kabbalah has really given me this next level of certainty and backbone to my spiritual teachings and has helped me to unlock so much light and understanding of this path which I'm able to then, you know, bring to you guys. And within that, I've also become less reactive and more present and more trusting of the unknown, which is a huge win, like it's. It's so huge because, yeah, it's just the hardest been. The hardest thing for me to master is the present moment being where I am. And personal wins can be relationships, health, they can be, yeah, family dynamics, partnerships, anything that's personal to you. One of mine has definitely been Mrs Wilson and having a dog, which I didn't plan at all. I'm going to do a full podcast on this being because she's definitely a spirit, a spirit, soul mate in a dog's body.

Speaker 1:

And and, yeah, the business wins. You know, I think a lot of us who are high achievers just want to focus on the business wins, right. But if you start on the spiritual wins, that's the inside out approach, right, because business, then, is a byproduct of your inner world. So, yeah, what are your business wins? What are the, the money, the success, the, the accolades that you love to be acknowledged for, like, what are the business wins that you are reflecting on and really allowing yourself to receive?

Speaker 1:

And I'm curious, like, where did you experience unexpected growth or blessings? Like, where did you have magic and miracles unfold? You know, we're always, often rushing to the next thing and the next thing and the wisdom is now, it's in the present. So I would bet bottom dollar that if you made this a habit and you didn't just do it during the summer solstice, you know sick halfway through the year. If you did this every for example, the summer solstice, the spring equinox, the autumn equinox, a winter solstice and you made this a part of your routine, you will experience more magic, because this is the key pieces to receiving and pausing is reflecting and acknowledging where you've been and the wins that you've had, because one of the things with high achievers is actually when they look back and go, whoa, I, I can't believe, actually like those wins I've, I've, I've had in my life, my business like spiritually, wow, and it brings this whole new level of peace and accomplishment because there's nowhere else to get to. It's like, wow, it's actually already here and now. Let me create from a place of abundance and joy and arriving versus ah, I'm not there yet, you know.

Speaker 1:

So a part of that is obviously releasing and letting go of what no longer is aligned. This is the thing that humans struggle with the most is letting go, let go of the past. You know it's addictive. We are addicted to the dopamine and the struggle and the stories and the exes, and what if that would have worked out? And, like this business, I've already done that differently. Listen, it's worked out the way that it has because it's been perfect. Every single decision you've made has been good and it's not going to stop you from reaching your soul's destiny because it's already mapped out.

Speaker 1:

So what has been weighing you down? What are some old goals that no longer light you up Habits beliefs? Maybe something feels really heavy no longer light you up Habits beliefs, maybe something feels really heavy. Is there any pressure to hustle or slip into those sneaky little? No one will notice if I just do this behind the scenes. You know, release, release, release. Whether you want to burn it in the fire, just, oh just let it all go. If anything from your past is in your present, you're just imprinting that on tomorrow. So be brave, be brave, be courageous and just let it go, because then it's going to allow you to realign with your truth of like your soul's evolution.

Speaker 1:

You know, and this past year I've really had to let go of like a really big relationship in my life and like a partnership and business relationships, like I've just had to let them go and a lot of society tells us to you know, go all, follow through and, just like, just you know, finish what you've started. However, there is this duality of yeah, okay, definitely lean in and definitely follow through on your commitments and also understand when that particular contract has ended. You know, it's really being discerning and aware of, actually, yeah, my soul. Do I feel like I've taken all the lessons from this? Or would I be continuing to do it because someone says I should do it? Because that, energetically again, you're going to create from lack and you're not going to be happy or fulfilled? So knowing when to let go is a really important skill.

Speaker 1:

And how do you want to feel by the end of 2025? There's six months left and so, instead of like creating these, like really tangible, specific goals which, of course, you can do, you can do whatever you want how do you want to feel by the end of this year? Because the only reason why we want those things is because of the feeling of having them. So you could even just draw a little circle on a piece of paper and imagine, remember, remember something that you have achieved over the past six months that you would really love to look back on and go wow, I did that, that's incredible.

Speaker 1:

Right, write that vision, that dream, in the center and then, just like the sun, the summer solstice and I got this from Kathy Heller, thank you, kathy Draw little sunbeams off of the circle. And the sunbeams I want you to write down the feelings Achieving this vision, this dream, what are the feelings that come along with that? And just have those sunbeams, just like oozing with the words. Those words, those feelings, that's what you're desiring, that's what you're desiring, and so I invite you to reconnect deeper to those feelings. And why like? Why do you want to feel those feelings? And what action, what aligned action, can you take towards those feelings? Because we do have to take action.

Speaker 1:

Yes, when it's done from a place of connection and intention, wow, it's the biggest amplifier. You know, it's like dialing in your receiver. So right now I can't hear any radio station, but if I turn my radio on and tuned it to 111 FM, I would hear the song playing on that station. We are like the radio dial. We get to tune our frequency to the station of what we want to experience and that is the feelings. Our radio dial is the feelings, the emotions that we're allowing ourselves to feel, and this is the fastest way to receive your desires which, by the way, if you have a desire, it's because it's already happened and also just trust that if you don't have any desires right now, then that is perfect, like God is wanting you to be in this void, in this place of rest, of just being with what is, and that's okay.

Speaker 1:

You know, there might be some people on social media who are living their dream life in an exotic location, or someone's having a family, or there's always someone who's doing something that you've either done, you want to do or you think you should do, right. So this is an opportunity to connect with yourself and your soul and trust. Trust it deeply, because if you would have said to me a year ago I'd still be in the UK, I would have not believed you. I wouldn't have believed you. Um, and it's all come down to letting go of control, stopping micromanaging. Um, you know the all the desires actually mine, like really deciphering, like what are my desires and what are other people's.

Speaker 1:

So it's been a really amazing time for me to go in and just be with myself, and this kind of hermit phase has been so supportive, to just go deeper on responsibilities and presence and trust and like connecting with God instead of always being distracted by all these fancy things. And of course I still I want to experience all of life, like of course we all do. We came here to have it all, and there are seasons and phases where God is asking us to just be with ourselves so that we can receive our true soul's purpose. So setting your soul aligned intentions, not from pressure but from purpose and you might have heard me speak on the podcasts when I've been doing little soul session readings for my guests that have been coming on. This, by the way, is one of my favourite offerings that I have right now, because when you understand where your soul came from and its purpose in this lifetime, and it amplifies the awareness and it activates your soul, it amplifies the awareness and it activates your soul magic just unfolds. And that is one of my geniuses. I love holding a mirror up to your soul and amplifying and illuminating your life and your purpose and like what you're here to do, and so much peace and bliss and prosperity comes from that place and things just effortlessly flow like there's no more grasping or forcing. It's. It's this deep, deep remembrance. So if anyone feels called to get a soul session from me. The link is in the show notes somewhere, but I'm actually gonna. I feel like I want to do a live soul session on a podcast, so I'm gonna send an application out to everyone on my email very, very soon, because it's such a powerful, powerful session and, to be honest, once you've had a session, you shouldn't need another one, because once the soul remembers and you then have a blueprint of, okay, I've fallen off track, I've forgotten who I am, you've then got a roadmap to get back. Oh, it's just the fastest way to receive everything that you desire. So, yeah, you're in the feelings, you're just at one with your soul and you're remembering. Okay, it's 2026, january 1st. Wow, okay, the past six months, how did I feel? And something that's really powerful and you might think Kim's completely lost it. I occasionally do lose it, but I always find it.

Speaker 1:

Um is imagining your death. Transformation is a death and rebirth process, and I know many of you know what I'm talking about. You would have at times felt deep, immense grief and sadness and then deep, immense amounts of joy when you've remembered your power. We are always transforming death, rebirth, death rebirth not only within things outside of ourselves and people, but within ourselves and our ego, because, if you think about it, the soul came from a different life and so it has to go through this death and remember death and remember death and remember process in order to fully receive its purpose in in this lifetime.

Speaker 1:

So this is one of the tools that I use in my programs and retreats is imagining your death, having your own funeral, and imagining that, yeah, your soul has left your body. What are the things that were not important, that you were so focused on, and what are the things that you wish you would have done or done more of or been more present for. And no, you're not going to manifest your death by doing this. This is actually a tool that the sages use as well, in Kabbalah, to help you to remember and activate and take action on those things that you've maybe been holding off on. You know, because there's a limit in beliefs. There's the mind, there's the conditioning that makes us believe we can't do X, y and Z. Creator wants us to have it all, and so having that process of your death and your funeral really helps you to go.

Speaker 1:

Whoa, okay, I'm going to play all out and just live this freaking life the way that I want to? What do I want to be remembered for? How do I want to make people feel what is something that I absolutely know I'm here to do and pursue and bring to the world that I'm not freaking doing? So, yeah, that's super powerful and that helps to anchor in your intentions and your visions. And you know you can do this in many ways. You can write a letter to your future self. You can light a candle with intention and there's nothing more powerful than imagining your death, because when you imagine your death, that activates. Oh my, okay, I wanted, I want to do this, this, this, this and this. So, yeah, it is honestly a really fun thing to do if you have that perspective of I'm actually, I'm actually transforming and I understand that there is a death and rebirth process of life. So I'm actually just helping myself to evolve by imagining my own death.

Speaker 1:

And, guys, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. There is so many sad, crazy things happening in the world right now. The world needs you to be in your light, in your power, in your light, in your power, in your remembrance, not in your patterns and your shit and your fears and judgments and resentments. It needs you in your connection to self, to oneness, to all. That is, you have to go first, use this time, this summer solstice, as a sacred checkpoint. The light that is outside right now is a mirror to the light within your soul. So please, whatever you do, take the time to pause, reflect your spiritual, personal, business wins. Where did you experience the most growth? Where are you right now that you're so, so proud of and imagining your death in six months time? And what is something you would have law? You want to reflect back and go wow, I'm so glad that I did that, so glad that I did that, and then write it down and off the little circle, the circle in the middle, write off the, the feelings of how that's going to make you feel and that's your roadmap. That's your roadmap.

Speaker 1:

And every morning, without question, sacred time, whether it's five minutes, ten minutes, two hours, this is the most important thing. To set your dial, to set your radio station. Maybe you've got a favorite meditation or activation. I'll make one soon so we can all use it. And in the mornings, we can all be present to the magic of the. Now we can set our radio dial and we can receive. Guys, it's already here, it's all ready here. Actually, I've really got. I've got a magical story I'm just going to share with you before we close.

Speaker 1:

Right, I have lived in this house since I was eight. I'm with my dad right now in Stoke-on-Trent and it's uh, it's definitely a soul's. My soul is growing a lot and I'm so grateful because I can see the things that are shifting. That I needed to see. And obviously I've traveled all around the world, here and there. I've not lived here constantly, you know, lived in Leeds and Liverpool and you know Bali and Tulum and all those places, but it's always nice coming home to a place right, and obviously, having a dog, she needs walking quite a lot and so I have been walking, mrs Wilson, around the same place that I've been walking since I was eight years old. I can't tell you how many times I've walked past this house. I'd say God, a hundred thousand, god knows. I have never, ever, met this particular person or dog before.

Speaker 1:

However, I was walking, mrs Wilson, and you know she started wagging her tail profusely and she looked over the road and she saw this gorgeous dog. I'm going to call the dog Sandy and she dragged me over the road and she saw this gorgeous dog I'm going to call the dog Sandy and she dragged me over the road and I was like, oh my god, and here and Sandy were just like playing and you could just see that they were just like soulmates and I was manifesting actually having a playmate for Mrs Wilson. So you know, when she does get a bit irate and agitated, I can just take her around and she's got someone to play with. And then this appeared, this beautiful soul I'm gonna call him Peter. Peter appeared out of the front door and he was like hi, dog, do you want to have a cup of tea? I was like, yeah, why not?

Speaker 1:

And we were sat there for about two hours and I was just listening to him and his life and his wisdom. And you know he's got a daughter and he's been married several times and you know he's an older gentleman who's traveled the world and is so wise. I was like, wow, this guy is so wise, so knowledgeable. I can, I was learning so much from him, you know. But I was present. You know that only happened because I was really present with life and I wasn't trying to think about what's my next meeting. I was like, oh, yeah, okay, I've got time, let me. Let me come in and follow, follow where God is guiding me to go ultimately. And anyway, we we've developed this really beautiful friendship over the the two hours, literally, and then over the next couple of days, you know, every time I'd go for a walk, mrs Wilson would want to go in and it was just this whole thing. Um, and then, you know, he mentioned that him and his daughter hadn't spoken for, you know, a couple of years. You know, I was listening to his story and holding space for him and so much empathy for for what they were going through.

Speaker 1:

And it was Father's Day, not long ago, and I thought, oh, I'm gonna get Peter a Father's Day card. That would feel really, really good. So I got a Father's Day card, posted it in his letterbox and he rang me. It was that he was literally crying and he was like, oh, my god, duck, you don't know how much this means to me. I'm so grateful, thank you, so, so much. And he said I've got something really, really special that I want to share with you. I was like, okay, amazing, I'll come around tonight. So I went round and first thing he did was walk me to the fireplace and I could see the Father's Day card that I got him and there was this pink card next to it. And he passed me this pink card and I opened it and I burst into tears. I was overwhelmed with the divinity of life and magic and I felt God so deeply in that moment.

Speaker 1:

And it was a baby scan. His daughter had sent him a scan of her baby and he went from not speaking to her for two years to finding out he was a grandfather through this card. But here's a crazy thing, right? That card was sat in his postbox for a couple of months. He didn't see it. He did not see the card. For whatever reason. The card slipped down the back of somewhere and he didn't receive it. So she was probably thinking, oh, my god, my dad doesn't care. I've sent this card, this really special moment. You know she was struggling to get pregnant for for a lot of years and he was just thinking, oh, you know, she's not speaking to me and, my god, I feel so sad.

Speaker 1:

And then father's day comes and you know, you know I'm not going to receive anything on father's day and I don't know whether us connecting and hearing him and allowing him to be in more receptive mode, like he felt, so seen and so heard during our conversations and, you know, sharing his stories and, and you know, letting me into his life. I believe that that allowed him to receive what was already there, because on Father's Day he somehow found this card randomly and it had been hidden for months, months and months. And, you know, maybe, instead of waking up on Father's Day with this lens of, oh my god, like I'm a father but I'm not going to speak to my daughter and then him receiving the card from me and just the joy and, uh, just just the gratitude that he felt, and then finding that card it's a frequency. It's a frequency. And would he have found that card if I hadn't have sent him a card? I don't know, but what I do know is he did not see that card for months and then, all of a sudden, he did.

Speaker 1:

The reason I share that is to remind us all that there is magic down the side of our postbox. There is magic waiting for us to dial our receiver, to dial our frequency, to gratitude, to love, to joy, abundance. So then we receive gratitude, love, joy and abundance. Guys, this is our part to play. Our part is being the abundance that you want to receive, being the love, the joy, being the listener, just being, just being so grateful and appreciative of life. That's when we receive all of our desires, and so this practice of pausing, reflecting, releasing, realigning, remembering, dying and then remembering, remembering, dying and then remembering is a really powerful thing to do right now.

Speaker 1:

Please DM me on Instagram, share how powerful this practice has been for you. Please do share this episode with someone who you know needs to pause, who needs to receive the magic and receive the magic of themselves, because we're all magnificent beings, like miraculous beings, who came here to just experience all of life. So, yeah, please, I would love to, I would love to receive your yeah, just your your wisdom and your learning from this exercise. I love you guys. Have an awesome week and I'll see you on the next episode.
