823. Why You Feel Stuck—and How Spirit Is Asking You To Grow

from Almost 30 · host Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik

In this episode, spiritual medium Erika Gabriel returns for an unfiltered, laugh-out-loud deep dive into intuition, manifestation, and the wild ride of being a woman in today’s world. If you’re craving practical spiritual tools for your 20s, 30s, and beyond, you cannot miss this episode! Ahead, Erika peels back the curtain on what finding your purpose really looks like (spoiler: it’s not just one thing). They dig into breaking free from the pressure to have it all figured out, redefining your spiritual practice in motherhood, and how to stay grounded amidst life’s chaos.  Plus, Erika shares jaw-dropping stories about mediumship, spiritual protection, and the realities of walking a conscious path. This episode will have you feeling more aligned with who you’re becoming, confident in your intuition, and more grounded in your path—whatever season you’re in. We also talk about: Why your intuition is your direct plug into the universe (and how to access it anytime) How to stop obsessing over “finding your purpose” + embrace every phase of your journey The surprising real life “spiritual practices” that happen outside of meditation + yoga Navigating motherhood, career, and growth without losing yourself (or the spiritual magic) How to break free from victimhood, perfectionism, and comparison paralysis Spiritual shortcuts, mantras, and grounding techniques that actually fit busy lives The “sliding glass doors” of destiny—what’s fixed, what’s not, and how to open new paths The hidden dangers of ego, spiritual bypassing, and performative new-age practices Real stories of working with spirit, handling dark energies, and finding light after darkness Healing, love, and practical wisdom for women evolving through their 20s, 30s, 40s & beyond Resources: Website: https://erikagabriel.com/ Instagram: @spiritualmediumerika Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Cymbiotika | Go to Cymbiotika.com/Almost30 for 20% off + free shipping.  Ka’Chava | Go to kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.
