  • Ep. 87 How to Pass Tests By Connecting with Your Values with Rayna Epstein
    Sep 8 2024

    In this episode me and my soul sis (who's also a psychotherapist) Rayna Epstein explore TESTS within the To Be Magnetic manifestation framework. As long-time To Be Magnetic (TBM) followers, we discuss how we personally navigate tests, what to do when the answer doesn't feel clear, why tests can be complicated when trauma is clouding our perception and how to move forwards when, frankly, we have no idea what to do.

    If you're not familiar with TBM, don't worry. If you've ever been unclear on what decision to make, this episode is for you! In the episode we discuss:

    • Examples of passing tests in dating and job opportunities
    • How to respond to tests/tough decisions in a way that transforms us into the person we want to become
    • How to cross-check your manifestation list with your values
    • What to do when you still have no idea what to do

    About today's guest: Rayna is a holistic psychotherapist and highly sensitive soul navigating the confusion and complexities of life on earth. She believes that humans are never healed with an “ed” at the end, but rather that life is a cyclical, ceremonial journey where we are continually asked to sit in the alchemical fire of transformation and to relax into deeper states of our authentic expression. Rayna believes that all painful symptoms of the psyche are wise messengers from the soul, signals that alert us to the parts of ourselves that require more attention and medicine.

  • Ep. 86 Is it Shadow or Envy? Unpacking Love/Hate Towards Influencers & Finding Your Values
    Sep 1 2024

    This episode is somewhat of a follow up to Ep. 82 How to Do Shadow Work With the People Who Trigger You on Social Media. In this episode I tell you a little story about an influencer that I had a love/hate relationship with on social media. I dive into how I unpacked the situation, what "shadows" I uncovered and what the situation revealed about my values. I also discuss what makes specific influencers compelling to us, what motivates people to "like" content and what the process of engaging with specific creators' content reveals about our values. This episode is part of an ongoing conversation around being an authentic content creator and being conscious of our relationship to social media and the people on it.
