@ineffablealchemy
We had such a great conversation about our shared time at Spirit School with Danielle Searanke our Squamish Medium Mentor (@squamishmedium)! We swapped stories, shared insights, talked about Lindsays upcoming retreat in April, and her plans moving forward into her coaching business and psychic medium journey!
I hope you enjoy our stories and, as always if you have any questions, reach out to either of us!
Happy Listening!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

One of the concepts I wanted to cover on the podcast was topics that I felt no one taught or covered in my young adulthood. It's more of a "Things I wish I knew," part of the podcast that I feel needs to be shared because I know I am not alone.
One of those topics was home buying. The scariest adult decision ever, and in a language that not everyone speaks. I asked my good friend, of 20 years, on the show to talk about the language of buying a home, refinancing a home, or just understanding adult finances a bit better as a whole.
Josh Wiseman, thanks for coming on the show! If you have more questions please feel free to reach out to Josh at his email below, and let me know what you thought about this type of episode on the podcast!

We made it to season two!
Today I felt the call the pull the trigger on season two.
There is so much I'm currently learning and so much I have worked through over this year that I'm loudly being guided to share my experiences in this next season and the time is now.
With feeling the call the start season two on October 1st, there was a huge nudge for collective spirit messages. I started with a tarot card pull which showed up the Queen of Swords. If you'd like to see the card, go follow @theenlightenedlens on Instagram and I'll throw it up on my stories. This card and message embody communicating, connection, and pushing through some tough layers to arrive on the other side of the hill stronger and wiser than you were before. Queen energy. Embrace the wisdom and strength, because October feels big. Stay grounded.
Welcome back my friends! Feels good to be back!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

How has it been an entire year?! What a beautiful and wild ride it's been.
I chose this episode as my season one finale. It felt right to watch this whole journey unfold and develop in the most amazing and informational year!
With all of the incredible people who came onto the show this year, I have grown leaps and bounds towards a healthier life. I'm so grateful for everyone that came on and I have so many amazing plans in season 2! And YES, there will absolutely be a season 2. I intuitively felt a strong nudge to create a pause for the integration of all of the amazing information shared this season. Let's face it, starting my Master's Program for clinical counseling while working full time, being a mama and wife full time, part-time photographer, part-time Reiki practitioner, and a whole bunch of other shit I do in a day, is quite an adjustment.
So I'm headed to my adjustment and integration phase. I'm learning that to maintain my manifesting generatorness, I must make room for rest and time with my loved ones. Watching myself evolve throughout this year has been a truly humbling experience (and yes--I cried--go figure). With all that being said, I hope it inspires you to do the same. Life is not meant to be easy, it's meant to teach. Why are we here? What is your purpose? How will you leave the generations after you, and how will you honor the generations before you?
Thanks for participating in my journey to find those answers. Stay tuned for many more in season 2 full of incredible people.
Until next season. Much love!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

Today, I decided to pop in for a check-in and update on life. We are almost at 1 year of The Enlightened Lens Podcast Airing. How crazy fast that went, and oh how much has shifted and changed.
I gave a recap of all the topics in one. I go over topics of growth, spirituality, parenting, relationships, mental health, and all evolution.
I reference the direction that this podcast is taking, and how exciting it is for all the changes headed our way.
We are in metamorphosis.
The goo.
The rubble.
Its hard.
It's beautiful.
It's rising from the ashes, and embracing the new chapter in front of us.
Thanks for tagging along this crazy journey with me!

I know it has been a bit since I have put out an episode but in todays episode I go over how my life is playing out right now.
I talk about not only the struggles of whats happening astrologically speaking, but really when it comes to playing all the roles. I firmly believe that we are all not meant to work ourselves into the ground, contrary to what societal norms makes it seem. I am just a woman, trying to balance all of my hats, while creating a formula for growth and prosperity. Welcome to the ride, I'm so grateful to have you here for it.
I decided to pull some cards for some mid month inspiration. I pulled:
King of Pentacles: An abundant and self determined card that focuses on personal growth.
Reversed Sun: Self-doubt, lack of confidence and struggle with inspiration.
6 of Swords: Transitional card that moves passed our wounds and traumas with the help of those around us.
It's time to honor the goo phase as spoken by Weslie with her podcast Wake Up with Weslie. This phase of grief and change, and hard work is requiring us to honor the love and rest and pleasure and FUN.
I'm being called between masculine and feminine energies so much, that I hope my stories and lessons aid you along your path as well.
We are all in this together.
Until next time.
Much love xoxohttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

In todays episode you guys get the joy of listening to Jana! Master of many things, this woman was such an inspiration to hear from. We dive into the basics of the breath. Such a simple yet DEEP part of our human lives.
We cover topics such as:
-Proper everyday breathing techniques
-Breath work journeys
-One on one reiki/breath work
-The physical effects that take place during breath work journeys
-Emotional healing that takes place
-Breath work with parenting
Sharing both our experiences was such a beautiful way to learn and connect. Jana is a so knowledgeable and goes into detail about why we turn to breath for our wellness. How powerful are we?! I stepped away from this conversation so energized and it's because we each have a profound ability to heal from within through the act of sacred breath.

Today is a solo episode that is dedicated to sharing tools with you guys that have definitely SAVED MY ASS. There is really no other way to put it than that.
Life is hectic and I wanted to share some tools that I use on a daily basis to help me stay grounded. Retrograde season, Spring Equinox season, and all the other large astrological events taking place require us all to slow down and smell the damn roses.
Here are my "Save my Ass" tools:
-Sacred shower. Elements included.
-Dedicated meditation time. Go manifest.
-Individual time with each kid, spouse/loved one, and/or friends.
-Eat good food. Drink good water. Listen to your gut.
-Adult happy hormone release. With your partner. With yourself. Pleasure is your right.
-Sleep. Set bed time. Stick to it.
-Intellectual time. Learn, share, and grow.
Make yourself a priority, make your loved ones a priority, and honor those goals. It takes time and self awareness, but it's so worth it.
I hope one or more of these things resonated with you all.
Please share some of your "Save my Ass" tools! Id love to hear.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

Today we get the honor to hear from someone I consider a good friend, Lindsay.
Lindsay has so many modalities under her belt. She is a Reiki Master, Trained under Shaman, Breath Work Facilitator, and of course Akashic Records Reader.
I got the honor of attending Lindsay's Fall Equinox breath work session and it was magic! Simultaneously I was told by multiple people to find someone who does Akashic records readings. Low and behold, the connection between Lindsay and I was immediate and I pulled her aside after the breath work journey and spirit just delivered an Akashic Records reader who just guided me through breath. I love when that happens!
I have since had my reading from her which we discuss and describe as well as other topics such as:
-Breathwork
-Passed Life Regressions
-Connecting to your soul.
-Meditation
-Shaman work
-Energetic Cleansing/Self Care
And so much more!
If you want to get in contact with Lindsay her handle on Instagram is @healing.lindsay or her website is www.healinglindsay.com
Also if you want to go to her FREE breath work session to go sagecanvas.com
The book I referenced is "Many Lives, Many Masters," written by Brian Weiss
@g.e.t.l.i.v.i.n.g is Janalyn
Thanks to her again for such amazing insight on such a juicy topic. Please share with those you think would be interested or even intrigued by this topic. And if you feel so inclined I would love a review on Apple or Spotify. Just helps spread the love!
And thanks to you all for such beautiful support! Love you all!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

Today is a solo episode that goes over the parenting stories and discoveries that I have uncovered over the many years I have been a mom, but mostly over the past few weeks.
Being vulnerable and sharing stories is quite honestly, the best way to learn. I have had a rough few weeks with my kids, by just being challenged by them and tested by what I have learned and looked at over the course of my growth.
I asked the Universe for help and low and behold every podcast I usually listen to, seemed to have a parenting theme. All the words spoken were essentially guided to my ears and I wanted to share it with you all.
Here is a list of podcasts and books I have used for these specific resources:
-Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord
-Sex w/ Emily Podcast "How to Raise Good Humans w/ Dr. Aliza Pressman
-Raising Good Humans with Dr. Aliza Pressman "How to Become a Better Listener & Strengthen your Connections with your Kids w/ Lori Gottlieb
-Huberman Lab Podcast "Dr. Becky Kennedy: Protocols for Excellent Parenting & Improving Relationships of All Kinds
- "Good Inside" written by Becky Kennedy
- "Atlas of the Heart" by Brene Brown
- "Parenting with Love and Logic" by Foster Cline
- "The Transformative Power of Crisis: Our Journey to Psychological Healing & Spiritual Awakening" by Robert & Jane Alter
@therealandiethueson-Human Design
@thebeekeepersgranddaughter-Tallow Lotion
Thanks for letting me share these stories. I hope it resonates. I appreciate you all so damn much.
Cheers to this wild journey of parenting.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

Hollie Hope made it to the podcast yet again! If you remember correctly she was one of my very first episodes ALMOST A YEAR AGO (how crazy) and I didn't know how to do all the fun techy stuff that goes along with being a podcaster, and the episode aired with no sound.
Since then we have recorded episode 10, our Sacred Sex episode but of course I had to bring her back to re-do our first drum episode. So today is about her sacred sound, synergy, and sense of community that she has created in Southern Utah.
In this episode we discuss what a drum ceremony looks like, how she got called to this work, and how she has morphed and developed it along the way. Practitioners that have graduated her courses have made it to the podcast so if you'd like to hear those they are episodes 3, 6, 7, 22, & 33.
I share my experiences with the drums, and just really had to validate the sense of community that this woman has created. Her story telling, and the way she portrays information is clear and beautiful.
If you would like to work with Hollie or buy her drum babies you can find her at:

Today Kylie asked to be on the show, and I'm so glad that she did, because we are talking about non other than female period cycles, hormones, diet and all around women's health.
What a beautiful topic that a lot of people feel a lot of shame and discomfort around. Kylie is a Cycle Syncing Hormone Health Coach. She goes into detail about the 4 phases of our menstrual cycle and how we can associate that with our 4 seasons, in such a beautiful way.
We go into both our journeys with our own health, and cover topics like birth control, diet, societal norms, etc.
If you want to work with Kylie, find your instagram @wildly.roe and give her a follow.

Today Shantel (@rhythmic_healing) and I got to welcome Chase (@chaseg_intuitive_healer) to the show! (And don't mind my little visitor towards the beginning of the show-Mom life and all)
Chase has a really interesting journey from being a masculine rodeo bull rider in one minute to intuitive sound healer the next. It was really refreshing to hear from a new perspective of someone who really does blend all of his many talents and sides of the spectrum into one.
He talks about his story before his healing journey, what his healing journey started as, and how he got here now.
We discuss drum healing, reiki, parenting, societal expectations, and those beautiful masculine versus feminine energies.
If you want to work with Chase or his Wife (who we will have on the show as well) you can email [email protected]
Thank you so much for your support! Like and share and watch out for upcoming drum ceremonies that may take place either in Salt Lake area or Southern Utah.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093675452578

In this episode I got the honor of meeting with Dr. Kaleb Valdez, my Chiropractor!
I found him through listening to @certified.weird Podcast and I fell in love with practice before even becoming his patient! Hearing his story and how he looks at how chiropractic care should be performed, was enough to have my session booked with him, in a matter of 20 minutes into listening to the episode he was on their podcast.
Here is the link to book if you feel the same way and want to get on his schedule:
https://formfitnesschiro.com/schedule-an-appointment/
I knew I had to bring him onto our platform to dive deeper into what this man is all about!
We discuss:
-Benefits to adjustments
-Spiritual and cultural perspectives and how he ties that in
-Maternity and Newborn adjustments
-What a visit looks like
And SO MUCH MORE. He also wrote a book that you can find on his website
www.starvingbabies.com
What a great man with great functional insights to our health!

This sisterhood is a staple in what makes me who I am today. I am so forever grateful to have such a beautiful bond with women that allows space for conversations such as this one. There will be more episodes with the trio in the future so stayed tuned!

In todays episode we discuss my own health struggles over the past year specifically but really my whole life, looking back.
After visit after visit to a plethora of different doctors, I finally found out that I have Celiac disease.
What is Celiac disease? According to celiac.org it's defined as, "a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide, but only about 30% are properly diagnosed."
I brought my sister Shantel with @rhythmic_healing on due to her vast knowledge in nutrition. We talk about what I can eat, what I can't, what to look for if you feel you or someone you love is suffering from Celiac, and honestly just health awareness in general.
We offer tips and what I have learned so far in this new journey! Health journeys can be hard, but my hope is to educate myself in looking at food as medicine and finally start taking care of myself! I hope that it encourages you to do the same.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out!
Love you all!

In this Episode I discuss some Reiki basics.
Now I don't get into how to do Reiki, the history of it, and all of the smaller components. What this episode is really geared towards those people who hear the word 'Reiki' and think, "What is Reiki? And what does it look like?"
Those are the top questions I get when I talk about my Reiki practices. I'm still a student of Reiki, as I mentioned I will be getting my final Reiki Master next month but really these are the basics when someone wants to get a session done, but needs a bit more info.
Reiki is a tool used for
-Anxiety
-Depression
-Physical Pain
-Emotional Blockages
And SO MUCH MORE. It takes faith and surrender to offer up to this potent healing energy.
I discuss how I incorporate sound, oracle/tarot, and now my psychic and mediumship development really plays a part in what a session really looks like.
For all questions, please reach out!
Thank you so much!
