Hi friends! I'm back with Ashley today for another aligned and unfiltered reflection series.You know those seasons of life where nothing seems to budge? Those periods of “creative constipation” where ideas aren’t flowing as frequently and the motivation to make, welp… just isn’t motivating. I’ve been met with many of those periods this year and it’s unearthed a curiosity to understand why, how and what exactly do they mean. Together with Ashley, we discuss: Laziness as a signal of misalignment, not a character flawIs motivation just FEAR in disguise? 🤔 (aka: seeking approval, validation, belonging)Letting go of rigid routines and finding a deeper kind of discipline in trusting GodMoney, receiving, and the subtle ways we’re still being provided forWhat it means to be “lost on purpose” and keep handing our stories overAnd so much more! No matter what season this episode finds you in (creative momentum or drought alike), I hope this convo brings you comfort and the reminder that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be friend (always) 🫂💌 Listener Invitation:Take a moment today to notice one place where you’ve been labeling yourself as “lazy” or “unmotivated,” and instead ask: What story am I believing here.  Am I willing to hand it over?📚 Resources Mentioned:Forgiveness and Jesus Book A Course In Miracles 🫂 Connect with AshleyInstagram: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠Website:⁠ bigmiracleenergy.com⁠Youtube: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠ • ⁠@bigMiracleEnergy⁠Patreon:⁠ patreon.com/bigmiracleenergy⁠🔔 Subscribe & ReviewSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

Hi friends 👋 The pod is BACK, and rather unplanned, but I’m excited to share that that is *actually* the point (both in today’s beautiful dialogue and for the rest of this outstanding season moving forward).Nudged by a request from my dear friend & mentor, Ashley Abramson, I heeded an invitation to hop on the mic and record a catch-up, kickstarting a new season that will continue to unfold more organically and spontaneously, in contrast to my former (and more *perfectly* batched and executed) initiatives. The point being: to honor whatever may come up in the moment and release deeper expectations that come with traditionally planning and executing projects (who’s guilty?!) I’m looking forward to embracing this new format and leaving space for unexpected magic to come up ✨ What you can expect from today’s episode:Intro: An informal life catchup (what the heck I’ve been up to recently)What living spontaneously *really* means (no plans necessary) Redefining impact & purpose (no social followers needed)Intentional prayer: the difference between requesting outcomes & surrendering storiesThe beauty of unlearning & coming back to being more childlikeWhat to expect from this season✍️ Listener Prompts:• Where am I still trying to control the outcome instead of trusting the process?• What would happen if I stopped planning and simply allowed?• What would “spirit-led” action look like today?📚 Resources Mentioned:Forgiveness and Jesus Book A Course In Miracles 🫂 Connect with AshleyInstagram: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠Website:⁠ bigmiracleenergy.com⁠Youtube: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠ • ⁠@bigMiracleEnergy⁠Patreon:⁠ patreon.com/bigmiracleenergy⁠🔔 Subscribe & ReviewSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

In this final Season 4 episode, I’m joined yet again by my dear friend and mentor, Ashley Abramson, for a another beautiful ‘Reflection Session’ dialogue. Together with Ashley, we’re reflecting on the journey that this pod season has brought forth (for the both of us collectively!), and unpack the practice of releasing ‘private thoughts’, how people-pleasing shows up in everyday life, and why giving is receiving (in it’s truest, most Spirit-led form). We also discuss:• How unexpressed truths can manifest as emotional or even physical pain in the body• The difference between “finding” joy vs. remembering it• Why we are always abundant (despite what we think our external reality may be showing us)• What it really means to teach from love vs. fear (and how we’re always teaching)A most tender and special close to the season, I hope this dialogue offers nourishment to anyone navigating their own moments of the “in-between” and seeking a more grounded sense of freedom and peace from within ♥️📚 Resources Mentioned:Forgiveness and Jesus BookA Course In MiraclesConscious Loving Book Ashley’s PBJ YouTube Video✍️ Listener Prompts:• Where might you be holding onto private thoughts out of fear, shame, or the desire to people please?• What are the small ways you could practice micro-truths in your relationships today?• When was the last time you truly gave without needing something in return?🫂 Connect with AshleyInstagram: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠Website:⁠ bigmiracleenergy.com⁠Youtube: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠ • ⁠@bigMiracleEnergy⁠Patreon:⁠ patreon.com/bigmiracleenergy⁠🔔 Subscribe & ReviewSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my final solo update for this season of the pod. Join me as I talk through my latest life happenings and sentiments I’ve been sitting with, most notably: the journey of the “in-between”, that messy, middle space between who you once were and who you are becoming.I’m also sharing:What to do when old patterns resurface? (How I’m meeting them with so much more awareness and grace now)Thoughts on integrity (esp what it looks like when you’re evolving)How discomfort and confusion can be invitations to grow The shift from psychoanalyzing our pain → surrendering it to GodThe radical freedom of saying “I don’t know what’s next” and embracing it What I initially thought would be a tidy season wrap-up with a big “ah-ha” moment at the end is instead an impromptu sharing on what it feels like to sit in the fog and still trust that light is guiding the way ✨I hope you enjoy ♥️Listener Prompts:What old patterns are still showing up in your life? Can you see them as invitations, not failures?When was the last time you felt discomfort in a conversation—and what did your body try to tell you in that moment?Are there moments where you've agreed outwardly but disagreed inwardly?

Ashley joins me back for another jam-packed reflection episode, and today we’re unpacking what it really means to travel with intention. We question the glorification of “unplugging”, inviting listeners to consider that real rest doesn’t necessarily come from escaping our lives but rather, from plugging fully into them. We also discuss the differences between travel as a crutch or a catalyst, the role of expectations in shaping our experiences,  and how healing can be light, liberating, and even joyful.For anyone who's ever come back from a vacation feeling more drained than restored, or who’s been chasing meaning through constant movement and missing the peace already available in the now — this one’s for you 😌💭  We also discuss:The power of spirit-led travel (and how to tell the difference)Releasing the addiction to “doing the most” when travelingWhat “remembrance” meansWhy healing work doesn’t have to be painful or heavyA different perspective on inner child work ✍️ Listener PromptsWhere am I seeking escape when I’m really being invited to plug in?What stories or expectations am I placing on rest, travel, or healing?What would it look like to let joy—not pressure—lead the way?📚 Resources Mentioned:Forgiveness and Jesus BookA Course In Miracles🫂 Connect with AshleyInstagram: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠Website:⁠ bigmiracleenergy.com⁠Youtube: ⁠@everywherebutnowhere33⁠ • ⁠@bigMiracleEnergy⁠Patreon:⁠ patreon.com/bigmiracleenergy⁠🔔 Subscribe & ReviewSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

Hi friends! I’m back for another solo episode and life update on the pod this week — and this one’s all good feels and reflections from my recent travels with my partner to Colombia. With little to no expectations set and a totally empty agenda, this getaway stirred up many sentiments that I found myself unpacking in real time on the mic.

We reflect on some more takeaways from this seasons’ guest interviews and use them as vehicles to understand some of the deeper, unconscious stories we could be holding on to.

In this impromptu mid-season check-in, I’m joined once again by my mentor and fellow lighthouse, Ashley Abramson, for a raw, unfiltered reflection on the podcast journey so far. What started as a casual idea to touch base, turned into a deeply thoughtful conversation on the themes that have been showing up in every episode — surrender, self-trust, spiritual remembrance, and the quiet power of paying attention to what you tell others (because it’s usually what you need to hear yourself) 😅Together, we revisit the heart of this season, reflect on what it's revealing to us in real time, and offer listeners an invitation to tune into their own growth through a lens of grace and radical honesty. No script in this one friends — just real, spacious conversation between two humans navigating the wild ride of change and alignment.💭 We explore:• What re-listening to past episodes can reveal about your own inner dialogue• Why trust and surrender keep showing up as the true medicine for change• The trap of looking for step-by-step answers vs. allowing real-time transformation• How personal development can sometimes keep us stuck in the loop of “fixing”• What happens when we stop seeking and start listening• A reminder that everyone you admire is really just reflecting something already within you💌 Listener Invitation: Take notice this week — what advice are you giving others that might be medicine for you too?

My dear friend, mentor, and fellow Lighthouse in my life, Ashley Abramson is BACK on the pod today. And in this episode, we’re exploring what it *really* means to let go of control, release old stories, and surrender to the unknown, especially through the lens of travel.After selling nearly everything they own last year, Ashley and her partner Patrick embarked on a season of ultimate nomad life — journeying to Asia and intentionally traveling not to see the world, but to go deeper within it (and within themselves). Their journey has been far from the polished travel highlight reel we’re used to seeing on social media. Instead, it's been a raw, confronting, and ultimately liberating excavation of all the stories we unconsciously attach to with our routines, comforts, foods and even the identities we’ve outgrown.💭 We Discuss:The “Happiness Backpack”— placing your joy in something external (like travel or success) and how that sets you up for disappointmentFollowing true inspiration: how to tell the difference between ego-led doing vs. Spirit-led beingThe discomfort (& gift) of shedding routines, preferences, and comforts to make space for deeper internal peaceHow (intentional) travel can speed up our spiritual growthPracticing radical self-awareness, surrender, and prayer during dark times Joy as something you are, not something you find Finding peace in the mundane, everyday and “boring” thingsThis one’s a REAL one friends! For anyone who’s ever grappled with Sunday scaries, set expectations in things outside of themselves or turns to travel often, you may especially feel seen (or attacked!) 😅✍️ Journal ReflectionsWhere am I placing my "happiness backpack"? What external person, place, or thing have I given the responsibility of making me feel fulfilled, whole, or worthy?What routines, comforts, or preferences do I use to feel "in control"? What comes up for me when those things are removed or disrupted?Am I forcing something—or am I following true inspiration? What does it feel like in my body and mind when I'm operating from ego versus surrendering to spirit or intuition?🫂 Connect with AshleyInstagram: @everywherebutnowhere33Website: bigmiracleenergy.comYoutube: @everywherebutnowhere33 • @bigMiracleEnergyPatreon: patreon.com/bigmiracleenergy🔔 Subscribe & ReviewSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

CHANGE. Whether we love it or hate it, many of us don’t know how to navigate transitional seasons of life. Maybe we struggle with accepting the inevitable shifts that arise. Maybe we’re clinging tight to “the way things used to be”. Or maybe we’re so overwhelmed with all of the feelings, emotions and sensations of it all that we don’t know how to get through the process. Jessica Toomey, Holistic Health & Wellness Coach & Founder of The Whole Pursuit, joins me on the pod today to share her personal (and deeply inspiring) journey of overcoming some of the deepest seasons of change in her life — the loss of her father and the loss of her former identity in becoming a new mom. We dive into the topic of grief, how it cracked Jessica wide open, and how it unexpectedly connected her to her present day work in the world — now supporting her clients on their own personal journeys of change. A beautiful example of someone leveraging their pain into purpose, Jessica’s story is one you don’t want to miss friends!Topics Discussed:• Why health is way more than just food, fitness and the physical• Jess’ journey with grief after losing her father• How Jess turned her pain into purpose• Navigating massive seasons of change when becoming a parent• The major identity shifts and “deaths” that occur for women during motherhood and postpartum• The value of coaching & support in both our personal & professional lives• Why little things & small habits go a long way during seasons of change• The power of awareness and why it’s key to healing• Why you can’t force people to change, you can only plant “seeds”Connect with JessWebsite: thewholepursuitcoach.comInstagram: @the_whole_pursuitSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
