Intuitive healer, channel and a transcendence coach, Erika Alaura gives the Hearts Unleashed listeners a live energy reading in this episode and it is insightful! She also explains how she got her start in her career at the age of fifteen and how self employed intuitives, healers, and lightworkers can get their start.

In this episode of the anxiety series, I am offering insights to managing anxiety with a long term focus. In the midst of an intense wave of anxiety, we want to feel better immediately. But when we take a more wholistic approach to managing our stressors and building emotional stability, we can alleviate anxiety in a way that keeps it dulled. Beyond that, when we develop more stability and self regulation, we can start to feel stronger, more empowered, and even excited about life. Tune into this...

I start this episode by sharing my anxiety about sharing the anxiety series. So much of this series is about helping you live a life that is not completely ruled and dictated by your anxiety. So I feel comfortable sharing that I have fears and concerns and do not let them stop me from living out my dreams. I think so many stop themselves from taking aligned action because they think they need to 'have it all together' before starting. In this episode, we are addressing where anxiety starts and h...

I am sharing a flashback in this episode to Summer of 2022 while building my van during my longest trip home in 5 years. I wrote a post that I read to you in this episode about how the pace of life and the desire to have it all can spread us thin enough to cause addiction or trigger a relapse. Luckily, I feel confident in my sobriety journey but moving too fast for a few months straight really opened my eyes to things I couldn't see before. I am also sharing from my perspective a year later afte...

What you resist persists. I am often asked by clients about their concern that if they focus on their pain that they will amplify it. In a certain context, this is very true. When people constantly ruminate, repeat, relive, and recant our experiences doesn’t actually mean that we are processing them. To give space to the grief and pain or fear and anxiety or anger and rage means making room for emotions that we have been trying to manage, suppress, and compartmentalize. How would you feel if you...
