Manifesting Techniques For Actual Results!
I am so excited to be back with you and talk to you ALL ABOUT MANIFESTING! The good, the bad, the ugly, and why we manifest what we don’t want so much more easily than what we do!
Today’s episode isn’t just about being positive and being in a good mood all the time to hopefully get what you want. Manifesting is so much deeper than that!
This is real talk about real life and how to manifest what you desire with actionable steps, finally!
In addition to these techniques, I welcome you into my Soul Strategy Snapshots! These are personalized video sessions where we focus on what you need from me - to include how to manifest! In these videos, I ask very specific questions for you and provide you specific steps to help you reach your goals, expand your intuition, and so much more!
So let’s dive into The Spirited Life Podcast and talk ALL ABOUT MANIFESTING!
A sequel, a secret, a true gift you can thank me for later.
It's okay with me if this ruffles some feathers; in fact, I expect it will....
Yes, I said it.
I need you to understand this: There is something sacred about your desires. They were placed on your heart by your higher power and your higher self. Your spirit knows that your desires are meant to be in your experience. They are sacred and meant to be kept close to the heart.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying your loved ones don't support you. In fact, it's likely the opposite! They love you so much that they don't want you to get let down and waste your money - time -or energy on something they think will fail.
They might not have the courage or the entrepreneurial spirit you do! So they will try to keep you safe. And as harsh as it may sound, they may not have your best interest at heart…jealousy can wreak havoc on goals and dreams.
And remember how last week we talked about decision-making? Their decision that your thing won't work might be stronger than your decision (at the moment) that it will.
Do you really want someone else energy to weigh your dreams down when it takes so much work to lift them up?
I get deeper into the subject of who to tell and who not to. What to tell and what not in today's episode!
What would it be like to be in constant contact with your intuition? To know and trust the decisions you're making? To feel guided instead of pushing against the grain?
I invite you to book a session with your spirit team and I! Ask them questions, connect with yourself on the deepest level, and experience the bliss of your spirit team!
Can we just talk about how manifesting is a whole ass art? Like it's an art, a skill, a power that, once learned, can not be taken from you!
But be careful, because you're constantly making decisions, and they aren't always in your favor. What do I mean?
Well, think about it, Babe! What happens when you say, "Ugh, it's going to be a sh*itty day! Traffic is going to be terrible, Karen is totally going to be "Karening," and I know today is going to suck."
Then….as predicted, THE DAY SUCKS. It's not that you made traffic appear or that you made Karen be a Karen…. it's that you made an internal decision, and then your brain looked for those experiences.
So anytime you fully make a decision, feel it, and KNOW IT, it will undoubtedly happen.
In contrast….be careful to detach! Obsessing creates an energy of lack, resistance, and just ew for the universe (and people).
So, let's dive deep into attachment, decision-making, detachment, and obsession in this and other areas of our lives, shall we?
Manifesting is literally one decision away. The brain doesn't know the difference between what you tell it (with a connected emotion) and what it's actually experiencing. This is why manifesting is an art! Once you learn the true vibe of deciding, you will know each time if you're going to manifest or not.
And remember, I have courses like Mission Manifest (super budget-friendly) to help you on your journey of manifesting and The Intuitive Development Course to help you connect with and understand your intuition!
When life seems like it's totally falling apart, if you ride the waves instead of pushing against them, you will emerge anew—shinier, brighter, stronger, and more trusting of yourself than ever before!
This year, I felt like an imposter trying to show up for my readers and listeners. I was totally out of alignment with my spiritual practice, what served me, and my higher self. For the first time since I was a kid, I let someone else tell me who I was, and I started to believe them.
The crazy thing is that I saw it, I felt it, but I didn't feel strong enough to stop it. I am grateful for my spiritual practice because I am not sure that I would have made it through 2024 without it.
This Spirited Life Podcast episode is all about losing yourself, returning home to yourself, and navigating your most brutal awakening to emerge shining on the other side!
What type of meditation should you be doing?
I have a confession: I wasn't always a fan of mediation. In fact, I didn't know a thing about it or why I needed to do it! I finally gave it a try when I hit a point in my life where my intuitive gifts were taking over, and I could no longer control them. I was also severely depressed and had no idea that depression and unmanaged gifts often go hand in hand!
Once I decided that I was no longer available to feel the way I did, I went all in on figuring out how to become a happier and more intuned version of myself.
That's when "the work" began, and I started to dabble with the thought of meditation!
That "self-work" led me deep down the spiritual rabbit hole, and within six months, I became a totally different person—someone unrecognizable. Someone I finally loved and adored for the first time in my life.
The thing is, whether it was personal work or my intuitive work, I still had to sit with myself, be with my emotions, feel my body, and look at the sh*t I didn't want to look at.
In other words, I had to meditate. I had to be still.
I had no clue what I was doing when it came to meditating! What kinds of meditations should I do for each thing?
Here's the thing: It is all interconnected! Your intuition will guide you deeper into the self, and as you self-reflect, your intuition will open up. Either way, you will be raising your vibration!
What kinds of meditations should you be doing?
In this week's podcast, I give suggestions on how to meditate for which thing and provide a few examples of meditations that can help you achieve different goals such as:
So listen to this week's podcast to see what kind of meditation you should be doing!
And remember I take private clients to help you connect with your spirit team, intuition, happiest version, and highest self
And if you're ready to dive in but need more time before private coaching start here!

"Why isn't my intuition working? How do I know if I can trust it? Is my intuition strong enough? I'm not getting anywhere with my meditations..."
Does any of this sound familiar to you? It's something I used to ask myself and now I hear it from clients almost daily! Here's the thing, your intuition is always on, but to be able to hear it at will, understand the subtle messages, and get clarity on life's direction, you're going to need to finess it a little bit!
You need more awareness! Energy is subtle, and intuition and messages from the universe are like a magical and neverending puzzle, but again, it's subtle! You must expand your awareness, become attuned to energy, be open and receptive, and know what you're looking for!
You're not open enough! Listen, the universe is all about surrendering control so things can find you. We don't chase; we attract, remember? So when you are open to receiving messages in a multitude of ways and are OPEN to how they find you, it's so much easier to see the signs and receive the messages sent your way!
You need to create space for the messages! Yep, sorry friend! You need to meditate, but not to worry, I go into easy ways to do this in the podcast episode!
You might be looking in the wrong places! It's all about flexing and working with the right intuitive muscles! Not sure what I mean or which yours is? Check out my intuitive development Course and listen to this week's Spirited Life Episode!
Your intuition is your natural and God-given ability to connect with your internal guidance system! Listen to the latest episode of The Spirited Life to see how to put the above into practice today and start accessing your intuition on a daily basis!
Why isn't your intuition working?The reasons why your intuition isn't working have nothing to do with whether you have a strong intuition or not but more with the fact that you have been conditioned out of it! My job is to help you recognize your intuition and make it easy for you to connect with it again!
How To Find Yourself Again
How well do you know yourself? You might think you know yourself better than anyone or that, of course, you know you….you ARE YOU. I want to challenge this belief and tell you that with every season of life, a new you is born while integrated patterns and versions of the past still play a significant role.
In my 20s, I realized I never knew who I was and that I was always living life as a version of myself that I thought would make other people more comfortable.
I chose to get to know myself through inner work, meditation, healing my inner child, and forgiveness of myself and others. I was and still am so proud of that work because, at the time, I didn’t have a mentor and had no clue what I was doing or where it would take me.
The day I realized that I couldn’t even say “I love you” to myself in the mirror broke my heart, but opened it up at the same time. I realized at that moment that I had a significant amount of work to do, so I went all in.
Since then, I have become a mother and a business owner and have had many life successes, challenges, and failures. It is said that every seven years, we become a new version of ourselves and reawaken (hopefully at a higher level). Fun fact: Did you know that you are, in fact, an entirely new body every seven years? It’s nerdy but pretty cool if you’re interested!
All of this to say I’ve been awakening, shedding layers, healing, and rediscovering myself over the past year. It’s been just as hard, if not harder than it was the first time, but still, the goal remains the same. Do the work and find my best version again so I can help others do the same.
A common theme with myself and clients lately has been deep inner child work, specifically with the teenage/adolescent versions of ourselves. As we all know….teenagers aren’t for the weak…, and neither is this phase of healing.
It’s about lasting growth, discipline, rebellion, and fully becoming the you that you were meant to be UNAPOLOGETICALLY so that those who are meant to connect with you can find and be with your most authentic version.
When you show up authentically and know and love who you are, there is a big mental weight that is lifted when you aren’t playing a character in your own life anymore!
Enjoy this podcast episode on Finding Yourself again and what true healing looks and feels like!

Who's in your energy field?
What are the signs someone is hanging out in your energy field, and how do you identify who is pulling at your energy? A few signs are a specific person constantly popping in your head, dreaming of them, their name randomly coming up in conversation, and a heaviness that you just can't shake!
You see, we are all energy, and energy knows no space or time. If you're thinking of someone often, they will feel it and vice versa!
In this episode, pulled from my Youtube channel, I will teach you how to identify if someone is in your energy field and see who is tugging at your energy!
We will go over who you have not released from your energy and how withholding forgiveness will keep them stuck there! I will describe a practice on how to find out who is still in your energy; how to release and heal; and how to ground, clear, connect and protect your energy.

There are multiple reasons why you’re afraid of your intuition! Some obvious some not so obvious! Listen to this episode to hear how to take control of your intuition and allow it to help you FLOURISH!
I was afraid of being a medium. I was fearful of my intuition, the things I felt, and the fact that I was possibly a crazy person. When you're a strong and unmanaged intuitive, your gifts can feel more like a curse than a blessing! Throughout my life, my dreams were petrifying. No really, I had sleep paralysis from "energetic vampires!" In my waking hours, I constantly felt watched, listened to, stood over, and more. Even when home alone, I would hear noises, music, and voices. Talk about overwhelming! The older I got, the better I got at ignoring it (or so I thought). My intuition scared me because I didn't know what it was. I didn't know if ghosts were real or if I was crazy. I didn't understand why I had such vivid dreams, and others didn't. I didn't understand why I was obsessed with scary movies, psychics, and creepy stories. It wasn't for the entertainment, but something drew me to them! Combine all this and the constant feeling of anxiety that comes with unmanaged intuitive gifts, and you've got yourself a pretty good recipe for depression! You're not alone; mediumship, giving readings, intuitive hits - all of it can be scary when you don't know what you're doing or dealing with! Here's what I can promise you when you get a grip on it - when you learn to manage it - when you control it, and it doesn't control you - it is THE MOST MAGICAL EXPERIENCE THIS LIFE HAS TO OFFER! Synchronicities happen, life flows, you love deeper, you trust more, you're simply guided, and you know you're not alone. So, listen to this episode and find out why you're afraid of stepping into all that you are! Listen Here! Don't forget, I have a course that will help even seasoned psychic mediums overcome fear and adopt practices that will preserve their energy and keep them connected only to who they WANT to connect to during readings! Enroll Now! The Intuitive Development Course is for beginners to seasoned practitioners! The MEdiumship Diving Deeper Course teaches you to give safe and accurate readings and should be taken AFTER the Intuitive Development Course!
How do we truly begin to heal and let go of the past? Over the years, I have learned that to truly heal; we must release. Releasing in order to heal means forgiving, setting ourselves free, calling our energy back, and letting go of trauma bonds. One main way to access this level of healing is through the Inner Child and the Higher Self! What is the inner child, and why is it important?“Essentially, our inner child is the forgiving, free-spirited part of us that still feels and experiences life as a child. But, just as it carries the positive aspects of being a child (like innocence, joy and creativity), it also carries the wounding of our past.” - Vas Touranis Therapists will often guide you to look at and work with your inner child however, Spirit guides us to truly heal and release. Our higher self will guide the inner child to visit the moments the subconscious still clings to and then call those pieces back to our physical body and Spirit. This process is also known in shamanic practices as a soul retrieval! When you work with your inner child from a spiritual perspective, you actually collect and call back missing pieces of you. As humans, we don’t realize that we leave energy everywhere we go. When we have traumatic or painful experiences, we often leave pieces of our energy/spirit in those moments. We are still (spiritually speaking) in those moments, which is why they become so hard to let go of and affect us subtly throughout life. When we journey back to them through our inner child healing, we can
The process is heavy, but the release is impeccable. It’s life-changing - I would say it will give you your life back! There is so much that comes up when working with the inner child that we don’t consciously even realize we are holding on to! Listen to today’s episode and learn to connect with your inner child!

How to create more mental space? Mental fatigue can be physically paralyzing. It feels like you're tired, but you know you slept. It's like you can faceplant on a tiled floor and sleep for days like you are thinking of everything, yet nothing all at once.
Mental fatigue can have you feeling like you're stuck yet spinning out of control. So much of our mental fatigue is created by the massive amounts of "invisible labor" that we do all day, every day.
What is invisible labor, you ask? It's ruminating on all the things you have to do and carrying that mental load with you daily. Invisible labor is thinking of everything you must do, like "I need to go grocery shopping; what did my son say he needs for school? What about that birthday party, did I get a gift? I should reach out to the mom and see what he likes. Ok, kid 1 has this karate, and kid 2 has dance class at the same time; how do I be in two places at once? The husband said he would make dinner tonight, but what will everyone want to eat? I have to go to the store and get XYZ. If I go here at this time, I can make it back to finish work at this time. Oh, I need to make the doctor's appointments, and I still need to send those emails."The consistent replaying of thoughts such as these is invisible labor and takes a MASSIVE amount of cognitive energy every. single. day.
It always leads to mental fatigue, which can look like:
Many of my clients come to me feeling this way, wanting to connect more deeply with themselves and their intuition or spirit team but feel that they can't find a second in the day for it! They feel overwhelmed by the already neverending list of to-do's and can't see how they could possibly add one more thing, much less something that is "not productive."Let me tell you a secret I learned a long time ago; meditation is productive because it clears and creates mental space to focus on what needs to come next and allows for creative solutions to FIND YOU! I help my clients identify where their burnout is coming from, and how to do a "brain dump" to get things off of their mental plate and create more mental space. After this, we work through their schedule together to find space for self-care and spiritual development. It can be done, but first we need to learn how to create the mental space to allow us to receive! In today's Spirited Life Podcast Episode, I talk about how to create a "results list" instead of a to-do list and how to create an effective "brain dump" to create more mental space and eliminate mental fatigue and spiritual burnout!

I remember when I was starting to develop my mediumship gifts; it was equal parts scary, frustrating, and exciting! Frightening for so many reasons. Would people think I'm crazy? Was I crazy? What if something dangerous came through? It was exciting because, duh! Frustrating because there were no clear-cut steps laid out for me.
I didn't know about spirit guides, grounding, and protection at the time. I certainly didn't realize there was a process to connecting with your spirit team. I wish I had known what I know now; it would have made the whole thing much more straightforward and effective.
Often, Spirit will give you a ton of breadcrumbs and then go silent. This happens when we have been given a lesson and still need to implement it. Once we do, we will be given so much more and at a higher level!
It's so magical; this stuff lights me up, friend! Learning to be guided instead of trying to steer a ship with no wheel will change your life forever! My job is to help you learn how to do it!
And remember to really get cha going; The Intuitive Development Course has everything you need even as a seasoned intuitive!
Talk soon!
Love,
Ashley
Unpopular opinion, meditation can make us judge ourselves even more than we would have without it. Yep, I said it! Meditation is supposed to take us to a peaceful place, a higher vibration, and provide a sense of connection with the self. It's about gaining clarity and calm. However, sometimes, depending on how you're looking at it, meditation can have you judging yourself harder than before you started.
Listen, I teach people to connect with their spirit guides and higher selves. I also teach people to practice their mediumship and Psychic abilities. To do these things, yes, you need to learn to meditate, but this is not the sole reason for mediation. If that's the only thing you're using it for, then yea, you're meditating wrong.
Most of the time, when we label a meditation as good or bad, it's because we did not "achieve" the state of bliss or connectedness we set out to.
Both are equally as important!
When you show up even if you have a monkey mind, you're training your mind, body, and subconscious that you're worthy of these few moments of silence. You're also simultaneously telling your spirit team you're available for them!
So if you could, just show up for yourself daily, ok? Whether you sit in your own energy (which I highly recommend), connect with your guides, clear your chakras, or mix em' all up, just show up for yourself and stop judging yourself so hard, babe!
All meditations and all time spent to better yourself is absolutely perfect!
Listen to my new podcast episode, Good Vs. Bad Meditations!
Love,
Me
Awakening is a beautiful, wonderful, and confusing process. It's shedding the skin you've worn for the world to reveal who you are at your core. It guides you towards acceptance of the true self and reveals the beautiful, soft, loving soul that you are!
While incredibly beautiful, awakening can feel messy and isolating at times.
You see, most of us are conditioned into becoming who we THINK others need us to be. We take on beliefs, personalities and operate in manners that we believe will make other people happy and comfortable.
In a way, before our awakenings, we are simply playing a role, living out a character that we have created alongside society, our family, and friends.
Eventually, we start feeling the resistance to this character and, during awakening, are led deeper into the true self and further away from the role we've been playing.
During this process, we can feel as if it's hard to connect with those around us. We may feel like the people we love are falling away, and our "old life" isn't fitting in with our new.
Today's episode is about how to recognize changes in relationships and why they happen during awakening and transformation!

Is the universe testing you? Do you ever feel like you can't catch a break no matter what you do and how hard you try?
I get it! I used to think life was out to get me, but then once I got more positive, I shifted to "the universe loves to test me."
I always tell people DONT ASK if anything else can go wrong because that is like asking for more challenges!
Challenges, you ask? Yes! Challenges!
A few years ago, I was talking to my spirit guides about the "tests" they had been bringing to me. I didn't understand how I could be doing everything they wanted me to do, such as advocating for mediums and psychics, giving readings, doing my inner work, etc., and still being served with constant "tests."
Then, as clear as day, I heard, "not tests challenges - opportunities to see your growth."
"It feels like tests," I responded.
But no, what I was shown was much more profound than my ego trying to tell me I wasn't good enough to pass these universal tests. I was shown that if looked at as challenges, I could see that I was being shown just how far I had come! I was being guided to see how I handled situations better than before, how I didn't get so worked up, how I kept my cool, and how I saw the patterns and could choose differently.
Those challenges were lessons and opportunities to see how my hard work had paid off. I was gifted with those experiences to see my life from a different perspective.
Once noticed and integrated, spirit would level me right up! Meaning that I would get to coast for some time, then get new lessons and opportunities!
Little shifts in my mindset greatly impacted my life and how I moved through my spiritual journey and levels!
Give this episode a listen and let me know if it resonates with you! I hope it clicks in for you like it did for me!

What is it like to be a medium? Interesting, to say the least, and it comes with a lot of responsibility too!
Not only do I have to make sure my personal feelings and advice don't get in the way of spirit's messages, but I am also not allowed to filter! I have to say things the way they say them, or they won't give me any messages until I do. Trust me; I've tried!
When I am channeling, sometimes I see or feel something that doesn't make sense to me.
I used to try skipping past these weird or uncomfortable messages until I realized I am just the translator, and my job is to deliver the messages whether they make sense to me or not.
So, I started delivering those messages exactly as they came through. My clients resonate with the messages almost every single time, or they write me later to tell me it clicked in!
Being a medium kind of rocks!
I get to help people heal, we go deep into their inner child and spirit, and the feeling of the transformation and healing that comes through is just inexplainable.
Sometimes, however, being a medium is heavy!
Sometimes I feel differently or have conflicting advice for my client than spirit delivers. Sometimes I agree my clients should be mad, angry, or resentful, and I, as a human, find it hard not to see the way they do.
I've been asked a few times, "what do you do if you disagree with the messages spirit gives you? What do you do if you are uncomfortable or think it's not a good fit?"
Interesting to think about, right? Find out in this episode how I handle it and my advice for other practicing intuitive!
