the magic of not knowing...


Two days in a row, I've pulled the Ace of Pentacles card. It's kinda funny because for the first time in a long time, I'm going into the year without a plan. 😁

Usually by this time, I've done a full year-end review, set my intentions for the year, and have a solid strategy in place. But, this year feels different.

I can't quite pinpoint it yet, but I feel a strong undercurrent of change, as if the Universe is quietly working its magic beneath the surface.

Because instead of focusing on a plan, I've been taking more time than usual to clear space, reconnect with my purpose, and realign with my Soul's desire.

And I don't just feel this for me. I've also heard this sentiment coming from clients. Are you feeling this too, Reader?

I think that's exactly why Source is doubling down on the Ace of Pentacles message.

You see, the Ace of Pentacles isn't just about inviting new ventures, prosperity, and abundance, it's also about creating a strong foundation for those opportunities to flourish.

And that's the amazing thing about planting seeds of intention, you can set them at any time, but you need a solid foundation before planting those seeds!

For those seeds of intention to truly blossom, sometimes you need to disrupt the old patterns, prune away what no longer serves you, and create space for new growth.

DECONSTRUCT mode activated.

So, that's what I've been doing, and it feels liberating. BTW, that's also the power of the Soul Shift VIP Intensive – it helps you deconstruct old patterns to reconstruct a Soul-Aligned Life. And guess what? It's still on sale, along with the rest of the Holiday Specials, until this Friday!

Speaking of deconstructing, you might notice a few different things in the newsletter along with seeing me in your inbox on a new day, Reader.

If you're also in deconstruct mode, you'll definitely want to check out my latest blog where I’m breaking down the process of going beyond the surface and uncovering your true self.

What I'm reading📚

(Re-reading is more accurate. I highlighted whole paragraphs of this book - yes, it's that good!)

Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a must-read. I can't recommend this book enough. It's a deeply spiritual journey that helps you reconnect to the depths of your being, reawakens your intuition, creativity, and the wild instinctual nature within. Want to read along with me?


JUST FOR YOU:

Your weekly guidance
reading & journal prompts

For this week's guidance reading, I'm using Rebecca Campbell's Work Your Light Oracle Deck with a direct translation from the guidebook. If you have a question, feel free to pause and focus on it. Then, look at the stack of cards below and choose one you feel has your reading. Or you can also combine the messages of all three cards and let that be your guidance.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest behind. I'd love to hear which reading made sense with your current energy, Reader. So be sure to reply and let me know.

Mintakan- Longing for home. Belonging. The original Lightworkers.

Mintakans are a soul group who originated on a planet in the constellation Orion. They were the first star beings to travel to Earth, and believed to be the original Lightworkers. The Mintakans’ home planet is thought to have been a water world with water so pure that you could see through it for miles. For this reason, Mintakans feel most at peace and at home when in or around crystal-clear water. They are here to teach us to see the potential in everything and the light in all beings.

Many Mintakans have an odd longing for ‘home,’ and struggle with feeling like they don’t belong. It is thought that this is due to their home planet no longer being in existence. If you pulled this card, it could mean that you are a Mintakan or are longing for a sense of belonging and root chakra healing is necessary for you to feel secure and safe. Perhaps you feel this longing to find home without knowing where that is.

Perhaps you’ve been moving around a lot and yearn for a place on Earth to call your own. If so, you are being called to connect with Mother Earth and create it for yourself now. To choose where you feel most at home and create it, rather than waiting for the feeling of belonging to come.

△ Work Your Light Transmission: Hold the card on your heart and say: ‘I allow myself to be truly here and at home on this planet. I release any grief around not belonging or feeling held and call in the perfect home.’△

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • Lightworker: What does it mean to you to be a "Lightworker"? How can you bring your light into the world?
  • Creating Home: How can you create a sense of "home" for yourself, wherever you are? How can you cultivate a sense of inner peace and belonging within yourself?
  • The Call to Remember: Does the message awaken a sense of remembering something forgotten? What is it that you feel called to remember about yourself, your soul's purpose, or your connection to the divine? How can you open yourself to receive these forgotten memories and wisdom?

Boundaries- Where do you need to establish better boundaries?

You are being called to create clearer boundaries in your life. This could be with your friends, family, or work. Saying YES when you really mean NO leads to resentment, which is the biggest energy drain ever. At first it might only be a little bit and not feel like a big deal, but before you know it, your energy field becomes porous and you are left feeling depleted, resentful, or taken advantage of.

Saying NO and having clear boundaries is actually a spiritual act. The most giving, loving, compassionate people are those with the clearest boundaries. For when they say YES, they are able to give unconditionally.

When your boundaries are clear, others know where they stand and you are able to give freely. If you are not clear where your boundaries lie, this causes confusion, resentment, and energetic cords to be planted.

If you are saying YES when you really mean NO, you are likely needing something yourself. Ask yourself, what part of me NEEDS something from them? It could be a need for approval, a fear of being seen a certain way or a fear of loss.

The best way to gauge your boundaries is to check in with your belly. Your belly is the second brain. It has an intelligence known as your ‘gut feelings.’ Tune in to this space when deciding what is OK for you. How does it feel? What is it trying to communicate with you?

△Work Your Light Inquiry: Where in your life do you need to establish better boundaries?△

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • Your YES & NO: When was the last time you said YES when you really wanted to say NO? How did that make you feel afterwards?
  • The Power of Boundaries: How does setting clear boundaries contribute to your overall sense of well-being and happiness? What are the long-term benefits of honoring your needs and prioritizing your own well-being?
  • Creating Your Sacred Space: How can you create a more sacred and protected space for yourself by setting clearer boundaries? What does it mean to you to live a life aligned with your values and boundaries?

Awakening - Energetic upgrades. A new way of being. Integration.

You are going through a period of awakening. Things are changing within you and at many levels. You are starting to remember ancient truths, and discovering more and more about who you are and why you incarnated. You may find that you are experiencing past-life flashbacks, seeing the invisible thread that is woven through all of life, or even feeling kundalini Shakti rise through your body from the base of your spine.

The most important thing for this time is not to overthink it and to stay grounded. Share your experiences with like-souled people while you consciously integrate them. Journal and pay attention to your dreams. You are remembering and your soul gifts are emerging.

During this time of transition and awakening, you may be called to devote yourself to being of service. There are ideas, truths, concepts, books, and creations waiting to be birthed into this world. Stay open to receiving them. Pulling this card may be a sign that you are here to birth one of these creations into the world. Or perhaps you are being called to make a shift in your life in order to be of service. Don’t think too much about it, instead repeat the following Work Your Light Activation.

△ Work Your Light Activation: Hold your hand on your heart and say: ‘I surrender to my awakening. I allow the Shakti energy to rise from the base of my spine. I open myself up to the Universe using me in a way that delights my mind, body, and spirit.’ △

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • Glimpses of Awakening: Have you experienced any recent moments of awakening, insight, or past-life memories? What did they reveal to you about yourself or your purpose? How can you stay open to receiving further insights and wisdom during this awakening process?
  • Birthing Your Creations: What ideas, truths, or creations are waiting to be birthed through you? What small steps can you take today to begin manifesting these creations?
  • Living in Alignment: What changes do you need to make in your lifestyle, relationships, or career to live more authentically? How can you cultivate a life that truly nourishes your soul and supports your spiritual growth?

As always only take what feels right in your heart and soul and leave the rest behind. Remember, these are general readings. If you want a personalized online or in-person session to clarify areas you're struggling with, highlight what's draining your energy, recharge, or breathe out stuck emotions, click below to book a session with me.


Sending lots of love your way,

The last month has been a blur, Reader. Whether you sent my family and me healing energy, reached out by email, or supported us in another way, I sincerely appreciate you holding space for me. If I've learned anything about life in the last three years, it's how precious every moment truly is. And while my niece's death has certainly shaken me to my core, I'm bolstered by the strength and courage she lived her life with. It makes me understand now, more than ever, that every moment we spend...

The other day, I was having lunch with two incredible women. We were toying with a possible theme "the flow of becoming" for the upcoming Raava retreat (official dates and info coming soon) Reader! Interestingly, I still haven't set an intention for 2025 yet. 🤷♀️ Not having a set intention for this year is creating a beautiful sense of openness. It feels like I'm allowing space for the Universe to surprise me, for unexpected opportunities to arise, and for my path to unfold organically. This...

I'm taking a break from my mini-hiatus because, I couldn't not share this with you today, Reader. I recorded the video part of this a few months ago. I meant to release it to my YouTube channel, but never did. I held onto it, part of me was scared to put it out into the world, scared about closing this chapter in my life. Another part of me felt I didn't need to release it. But, with the New Moon in Capricorn happening on December 30th and the New Year just a few days away, I was compelled to...
