The month of November has been a month of consciousness evolution, with many people on this evolutionary path, including some in our empathic badass tribe, experiencing an intensified period of internal shift. If you’ve been feeling extra lack of concentration, spacey, unproductive, forgetful, emotional, or exhausted in the past few weeks, don’t be alarmed. Your system is doing some heavy-lifting in the background to advance your own evolution right now. Give yourself some space, would…
It took me almost six freaking years to get my PhD. It was an experience like watching the paint dry every day. I woke up. I worked. I went to bed. No applause. No flowers. No pat on the back. At the time most of my college friends had gotten nice professional jobs and an adult lifestyle, while I still lived on teaching assistance stipend and sheepishly called myself a grad student. Midway through the…
Last week I spent a few days in California with an amazing group of women entrepreneurs, who were kicking ass and doing cool things in the world. I had to leave the group early on Wednesday afternoon, to catch a plane to another event that would be happening in Chicago the next day. But once I got to the airport I realized that my flight was delayed by 2 hours. Bummer. But not irredeemable. Yet…
When I was 10 years old, one day I was alone at home and discovered–to my horror–a large family of cockroaches in the kitchen cupboard. It was an emergency situation. I wasn’t sure what disturbed the roaches. But when I opened the cupboard, hundreds of them jumped out at me from nowhere. An army of dark force. I was grossed out and scared to death. My heart pounding and my hands shaking, I grabbed a…
I recently started learning Spanish, listening to a Pimsleur language tape when I’m driving. The tap follows a learning methodology called “spaced repetition”, which is supposedly a fastest and most efficient way to learn a foreign language. You’re asked to repeat the same Spanish phrases out loud, again and again. And every once in a while, you’re asked to remember the phrase and say the words out loud at timed intervals. The problem? It was…
Most people are bored easily. But have you ever wondered what boredom actually is? The ego needs frequent external stimuli to affirm its own existence. When the ego is threatened by the lack of stimuli, most people label it ‘boredom’. What many of us do not realize is that in the name of alleviating “boredom” and satisfying the ego’s constant demand for distraction, half of your life energy is spent transitioning from one task to…
When life present you with challenging people and situations, do you automatically start wondering what the hell is wrong with you, or what spiritual performance you need to deliver to avoid “attracting” such bad luck into your sphere? If so, stop. When the Universe is repeatedly throwing challenging situations at you that are of similar nature, it’s for one reason and one reason only– to help you heal from past traumas and reconnect with your…
Many spiritual people have this subtly misguided belief, which says if you’re sufficiently enlightened and your “vibration” is high enough, things should go your way– the Universe should shower you with flowers, miracles and synchronicities, and angels should sing your name to eternity. On the other hand, if shit happens, that must mean you’re unconscious and somehow misaligned with the higher order. That belief should probably be ranked among the top 3 all-time most-unhelpful spiritual…

Have you ever had this experience? You agonized over a choice you needed to make, not being able to make up your mind and beating yourself up about it. And many years later when you look back, the choice was darn obvious and you wonder what you were fussing about then. They reason why you are being indecisive about something is rarely what it seems. While your mind may make it seem that choosing the…
For many people, being more intuitive means having the God-like superpower to make predictions about the future, so that they can pick the most advantageous actions to take and avoid pain and danger. Though a common perception, that’s actually not a very helpful way to use your intuition. This episode of the School of Intuition will tell you why. Intuition, or your connection with your higher self, is not a parlor trick to shortcut the…
It is common wisdom that perseverance is a virtue and the ability to keep pursuing one’s goals in the face of setbacks is essential for achieving success in any area of life. On the other hand, many spiritual teachings advocate the value of surrendering to the higher will, because there is a bigger plan and the ego’s desire may or may not be in alignment with the highest growth path of your soul. So what…
The ego’s job is to get boundaries and create individual identity. It’s usually so good at this job, that even personal growth teachings that are supposed to help transform and integrate the ego can be used to create new personal identities. Ironically, spiritual identity has nothing to do with actual spiritual growth. For many self-identified seekers of higher consciousness, it ends up being merely a different way to solidify the divide between me and them,…
Most people avoid the feeling of emptiness like a plague. And that’s for very good reasons. However, if you’re on a spiritual path of sorts, I want to tell you that your relationship with emptiness is actually one of the most important spiritual skills to master. Having a “friendly” relationship with that seemingly horrible void is a sign of spiritual maturity. And the emptiness can teach you so much about the nature of existence, and…
Your #1 job in an intimate relationship is to love. While on paper that seems like a no brainer, very few people actually treat their relationships that way. In most cases the human self has other agendas. And despite how much we consciously think we want to love and be loved, most of us are actually afraid of love because it’s a powerful force that has the potential to annihilate the ego. In this episode…
From time to time I get listener messages that share with me their relationship “situations”, often times right after someone got their heart broken and they are feeling distraught. Sometimes they even say thing like, “I don’t know why, but I always manage to pick the wrong person!’ Intimate relationships are almost always huge growth and healing opportunities, no matter what the outcome of the relationship is. Sometimes we attract people into our lives so…
Do you have days when all you want to do is to shut the door, close the blinds and curl under a blanket? Me too. On the days when nothings feels right and you feel sad/mad/unmotivated/full of doubts, it’s the natural tendency of the mind to fill in the blanks, conjuring up stories about a thousand things that are going wrong in your life. It may be easy to believe that those stories are the…
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE ON SOUNDWISE Over the past month I’ve been listening to my higher self regarding the direction of the True Voyage soundcast. I’m excited to tell you that I’ve been called to give this soundcast a rebirth– to make it more aligned with the growth that has happened in me over the past year. This will be the last episode of the True Voyage. And going forward, my soundcast will be published…
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE ON SOUNDWISE Last week I got this message from a listener, “I love, love your power mornings course…I’m doing your clarity finder exercise to connect with my higher self. But I don’t know if I’m doing it right. How do I know the information I get is real?” This is actually a common thought most of us have when we get an intuitive message– “Is this for real or am I…
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE ON SOUNDWISE The most useful principles that catapult your growth are SIMPLE, whether it’s growth in your personal, spiritual, financial or work life. Because they are simple, most people tend to disregard them. And because they don’t usually give you immediate results (though they really set you apart from everyone else in 5 to 10 years), most people don’t have the patience for them. In this episode I’ll tell you about…
