It's Probably Me Podcast

Today I cover two cards, the Hermit and the Wheel of Fortune. Ever feel overwhelmed by all the advice out there? Here’s why it might be time to listen to your inner voice. We’re constantly bombarded with opinions and guidance from others. But how often do we pause to reflect on our own thoughts and feelings? The Hermit card reminds us that self-reflection is crucial. Going inward allows us to discover our true motivations and intuition. It’s about finding clarity in the noise of external influences. Remember, it’s okay to step back and reassess. In a world full of voices, your own is the most important one. What’s your go-to method for self-reflection? Share your inner wisdom.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This morning I'm chatting about the tests that naturally come when creating change or manifestation. They show up in all sorts of ways, but here's a reminder of what to expect and why when you're doing all of, or most of the steps we've covered so far, the tests don't seem so bad.

Finally back to the podcasts now the weather is slightly warmer and I'm back on the internet. This episode gives you a run down of my offline experience and why it's rendered me in such a bad mood.

A quick digress chatting about the benefits of slow media, then a recap on the manifestation steps so far. Then I discuss how control impacts how well we can manifest and the blocks it can create. The ripple effect of trying to control the outcome can in fact, pull us further from our objective.

Step 1.2 is all about that intention behind the thing you want to manifest. If it's based in ego, how will that serve you? Step 3.1 is all about the nervous system, it's more about understanding so we can then move into a phase of bypassing the blocks the nervous system creates.

Quick summary about what's to come on in upcoming episodes of the podcast. An overview of the workshop from last night, and how compassion with goal setting can make a huge difference to the likelihood of success. Then randomly back to fake compassion and compassion in communication. It's all linked, it's all awesome and it all requires a lil self study and reflection. Hosted on Acast.

Chat's on Compassion, touching on 'fake compassion', but moving swiftly onto how humans wear labels like clothes and how compassion helps dissipate judgement.

Last week Alex chatted about finding compassion in stressful situation, and this weirdly lead her to think about compassion when spending time with family. Alex discusses the truths we lay down when we're children and how, in the 'safety' of those that are familiar, we're likely to revert back to those truths. It's a food for thought kind of episode.
