It started in the Costco parking lot. As I was driving out I saw three huge dragonflies fly past my car, one after another — my spirit guide messengers. I asked the first one what message they wanted to share with me and it repeated a message that I was given the other night in a moment between sleep and being awake — that an unexpected turn in my path would be coming, to be aware that things would be changing in unanticipated ways, and that it would be a good thing for me.

Today my guides shared that I would be going along a “curving” path, clairvoyantly showing me the number 8 — which they have shared represents “unexpected pathways leading to success and where you are meant to be. The infinity loop.” They said that this would be a positive change, that I cannot yet anticipate what it will be and that’s okay, but to be open to this shift and know that it will be heart-connected and fulfilling.

I continued driving out of the Costco parking lot on to my parents’ house to pick up my son, and on the way home with our windows down we pulled up next to a FedEx truck at a stoplight. Through the open side door of the truck we saw the driver loudly and passionately singing the lyrics to an 80s song that I recognized the tune of but couldn’t remember what it was exactly. What I thought I heard him sing was something like “Heaven is to find angels in the night.” And at the exact same time, I looked across the street and saw another truck — a delivery truck from a local business that my father and grandfather used to co-own with extended family, which was originally owned by my great-grandmother and her husband.

Whenever I randomly see these trucks around our city, I know my guides and ancestors are validating and confirming something for me that I was thinking about, or wanting to communicate a message, as they’ve confirmed this to me directly. In this moment, it was another direct echo of the messages I had just received.

When we stopped, I searched for the song lyrics on my phone and found the song. It was Journey’s 1981 “Don’t Stop Believin’” — and oddly, those words are not in the lyrics at all, though that is what I heard. Another message, through the words I thought I heard — a symbol of divine communication and joy — and the song title itself. The man who was singing it looked at us full of joy as he sang exuberantly in his truck. It was wonderful, an angel in disguise.

So I played the song on Spotify as we continued to drive, and my six-year-old and I also sang joyfully and loudly with smiles on our faces. As I did, my body was filled with chills and tingling energy — clairsentient confirmation again from my guides.

As I drove along, I glanced out the window and saw 1111 on a sign — my number with the channeled meaning of self-empowerment, self-direction, and trust. Stand in your power.

After Journey, the next song that Spotify chose for me was “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac. I immediately knew that the title alone was another message — keep following my dreams and my heart, and one of my favorite songs.

The next song was “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House. The title again echoing, urging me, to keep pursuing my dreams and hold the vision of my manifestations.

Even though this type of direct, distinct communication comes through me from my spiritual guides and higher self often to guide me along my path in life, I’m still always flooded by the magic of it all, and how blatantly irrefutable it often is. I couldn’t make any of this up as it just happens to come forward so wildly and obviously as I go about my days.

And all of this came forward today after two weeks of manifestations rapidly coming in — really a month or more of them beginning to trickle in and now really pick up speed as I’ve been using the manifestation method that my guides channeled to me unexpectedly. I share more on that in Intuitive Musings 03.

The manifestations became so exciting that yesterday I was sharing with my mom and husband how grateful and blown away I feel, because it’s truly working — my intentions, my dreams, arriving in physical form to support me and empower me. Today’s divine communication speaking so powerfully after the experience yesterday is just more emphasis and divine confirmation to keep in alignment, keep manifesting, and embodying my soul desires and expression.

I often feel like I’m in a scene in a movie when these things happen. That is what it felt like today as I drove along singing all of these songs at the top of my lungs, tingling energy running through my body and a giant smile plastered on my face, giggling to myself at the magical orchestration of it all on my behalf as scene to scene, moment to moment, more synchronicities poured through.

Intuitive connection truly is magic. The most real, often visceral, heart-filling, emotional magic.

I share all of this as a glimpse into some of the ways our energetic team and soul reach out to us — and how, when you’re aware of it, awake to your intuitive senses, you can receive it. You can engage with it, communicate in conversation, and form a meaningful and also deeply and practically supportive relationship with yourself, your soul, your higher self and guides and spiritual beings lovingly, and sometimes playfully, guiding you through life, while breaking your heart open along the way.

Our intuition comes through to share direct messages and support to us in so many different ways, which I teach in detail in my intuition and Akashic Records digital training course, Intuitive Awakening — but however it chooses to come through at a given time or day, it is there, communicating to help us. To show us to our true, authentic soul self and embody that version of who we are, so we can feel freer, more connected, more passionate, love-filled, and joyful.

Through our intuitive connection we unlock more meaning in even the seemingly mundane moments — like a drive home from the grocery store.

Our life is bigger than we think it is. There is a journey woven by our soul with distinct purpose, and we’re walking it. We’re either walking it blindly from our mind, ego’s logic, and imposed expectations, or we’re walking in alignment with our heart, soul, and divine support woven in.

Once I started moving through my life with that awareness and connection, life didn’t necessarily get easier in every moment — though at times it definitely did — but it became much more clear, less arbitrary. I understood the why behind the events in my life and the choices I was led to make. Life became more open, more gratifying and purposeful. I became more me.

So I urge you, with the smile and magic filling my body today, to connect to your intuition too. Unlock yourself, your life, your perspective and understanding through this connection that we’re all meant to have. That we already do have — we simply need to remember to work with it. To guide our awareness back to the intuitive communication that is built into us all, with the understanding and trust to do so.

Invite this greater meaning into your life, and don’t stop believing.

I am the one chosen to be the cycle breaker.

In my soul history, across all other incarnations. In my ancestral history and lineage — to heal the wounds and blocks.

I am the one who changes the narrative. Who shifts from living the stories of invisibility, of being unchosen, of lack of freedom, loss, self-expression equaling danger or lack, passion and money existing in contrast to one another, wealth being elusive — someone else’s to hold and bestow, or strokes of luck.

I am the one to step out of those timelines. To live in authentic, soul-purposeful, creative self-expression — in recognition, safety, love, and abundant visibility and wealth.

And so it is.

Words are powerful. Our voice and intention are the frequency we manifest. So I’m choosing my focus wisely.

The stories are only lived if we consciously or unconsciously accept them.

I’ve seen the past lives I’ve lived. The clairvoyant memories. I’ve connected the dots — the ways the stories have played out, echoed and morphed in variations — the contrasts and similarities.

I understand how this lifetime has played forward, how it has been mirroring past themes yet evolving them, how it is meant to be the remedy — even more so. At 41, I’ve lived half of this life inside some of those morphing, echoed storylines.

This is the pivot point. The new story arc. The second half. The breakthrough.

I don’t accept the old stories any longer. I choose differently. I choose success, love, and vitality through transformation and soul growth.

And it’s working.

The material is manifesting. The emotions continue to shift. The new stories have become new beliefs.

And it will continue from here.

I’ll keep sharing as I keep walking and creating this new story — of my life, of my soul’s reclaiming.

But know this — the power to work with our pathway, to make the choice to embody our soul’s evolution, to live in its authenticity, and to change the narrative, is yours.

Connect to yourself, your divine and inner self, to uncover what requires your witnessing, your tending to — and take the steps.

For you are a powerful being.

She showed me her physical appearance — a beautiful, languid woman with dark red-brown long wavy hair, fair skin, and rippling, effervescent energy. Optimistic, playful, and deeply compassionate.

She shared that she was there to support and lead my client back to finding her joy — the remedy she needed to increase her energy levels and return to filling her life with greater happiness and personal expression, as my client had been in a very difficult and painful place.

She offered practical advice on how to reclaim that joy and move into personal freedom — in small, immediately actionable steps. This is something all of my intuitive guidance sessions seem to offer clients: the accessible how-to process alongside the validation, understanding, insights, and revelations that our guides and highest selves so urgently and lovingly want to share with us. A gift I cherish with deep gratitude — the real way to embody our soul’s needs and intended path.

I’ve met many spirit guides over the years, working with countless clients and in connection with my own guides as well.

Some share their individual names and purpose, with unique characteristics and personality traits, tone of voice, and clairvoyant visions of how they choose to present themselves.

Others gather together in groups, channeling their collective energy and support through me in unity.

I often find myself overtaken by the feeling of their energy and intentions in the most heartfelt way.

When Joy came through for my client, I found myself with tears gently streaming down my face as I shared her words — because more than anything, I could acutely feel how much she cared for my client. Her compassion, empathy, and unwavering support filled my body and heart as I conveyed her message.

From all of my many and varied encounters with guides, I am always left with comfort, awe at their magical presence, and pure hope and encouragement.

There are many incredibly magical and transformational experiences I have had as an intuitive guide, channel, and medium — and consistently, the opportunity to meet and form relationships with spirit guides remains one of my very favorite and most special parts of this work.

They are each so unique, as we are. They share, speak, and present themselves with their personalities and characters often prominently on display, and come to us with definitive purposes — their energy and presence oftentimes offering the exact medicine we need at a given time in our human lives and soul experience.

The first spirit guide I directly met was my own main guide. When I began intentionally working with my intuition, I safely requested to meet my soul’s main guide — inviting him to come to me in a dream and introduce himself.

That night, through the normal barrage of dream images and obscure storylines, my dream paused. It was as if the volume was turned completely down. And in that silence I heard a clear voice say: “My name is Isaac.” Then the dream resumed. When I woke up I distinctly remembered what had happened — with detail, unlike most dreams.

That was my first introduction to my guide. He gave me his name, kindly and with clarity, fulfilling my request. I was astonished and excited — and it was the exact confirmation I needed. That I was on the right path. That I could access my intuition with intention. That I could speak with my guides. That I had the support and ability to do so.

So I kept going and have never once doubted my path as an intuitive medium.

As the years have gone on, I have seen Isaac very clearly. He presents himself as in his fifties — about chin-length salt-and-pepper hair pulled back at the base of his neck.

He is wise, sharing his guidance in a calm, steady, and strong presence — seemingly a bit stoic, yet with genuine warmth and compassion, and a glint of humor in his eye and a soft smile.

I often find him sitting atop a rocky clifftop, meditatively looking out at grey skies with wind blowing. He puts his arm around me, sharing simple, straightforward reassurance and direction. He is an expert at conveying meaning with brevity — the weight of his wisdom and care coming through without a doubt.

He is the balance — the contrast — to my active, swirling mind. His cool, peaceful, steady, knowingly assured nature is always exactly what I need.

He is stationed with my soul through this life and the others, guiding me with great care. I am beyond grateful.

We all have these guides alongside us. Some of you may get glimpses of them in everyday life — feeling their energy, recognizing their guidance. Others may be completely unaware that they are there — yet they are. They remain. And additional guides come in and out as we move through situations and phases that call for them.

You can meet your guides just as I have — in a 1:1 session with me, yes — but also on your own.

Just as I do, you have the ability to connect and communicate with them through working with your intuition — opening and expanding your abilities.

When you do, I promise you won’t be disappointed by how lovingly and powerfully transformative their support is. And they’re also genuinely fun to speak with and get to know.

We are truly, without a doubt, never alone. We are always, incredibly supported.

Meeting your guides is part of the path.

Over the years that I began cooking so much more — adopting home cooking as not only a radical act of reclaiming my health along my healing journey through chronic illness, but also as a creative practice — my husband began calling me the “sauce lady.”

Sauces, dips, and spreads are some of my favorite food concoctions to make, and something I’ve become particularly skilled at, because they truly elevate any meal.

With a delicious, super flavorful sauce, a salad moves from bland to superb, a sandwich goes from boring to something you want to eat again and again — and the same goes for dips that act as an amazing introduction into your meal, or something you scoop in heaps onto your main dish because you simply can’t get enough.

I started making all of my own dressings, hummus, sandwich spreads, pesto, pasta sauces, and more at home because I became so discouraged by the underwhelming flavor, unnecessary fillers, and unhealthy ingredients in store-bought versions — and the completely inflated prices for a small bottle of sauce or a tub of dip. It’s absurd.

After years of compromising on “just a little seed or canola oil” or “a tiny bit of refined sugar” in the only available egg-free vegan mayos I could find here in the Midwest, and my total disgust at being charged $10 for a 16 oz jar of xanthan gum, citric acid, sugar, and sunflower oil — I made my own.

And I love the flavor so much more than the runny, oily, less delicious store-bought alternatives.

So here is my egg-free, vegan, refined sugar-free Cashew and Olive Oil Mayo for you to enjoy.

This summer I’ve been loving it in simple tuna salad sandwiches with red onion, local tomato, and arugula on gluten-free bread or a bagel. It’s also wonderful for elevating a classic picnic potato or pasta salad, as a base for a vegan salad dressing, or on any wrap or sandwich.

Creamy, tangy, slightly sweet — enhancing everything you spread it on.

The catch is, here I am at 41, and I’m reminding myself that I don’t need to yearn for that unending feeling of complete possibility. It’s still here, right before me.

Our mind can try to tell us that time is no longer on our side, or that things have played out differently than our expectations in certain areas of life — and therefore that is what is, that is the storyline or belief.

But the truth is, all we are is utter possibility.

Life can change in a moment, and we get the privilege of directing the route it takes.

Do we want to direct it from repeating habits or views of past disappointments or difficulties?

Or do we want to openly and urgently remind ourselves, in each breath, that possibility for more — for harmony, love, true joy, and alignment with our heart and dreams — is what lies ahead?

I want the latter.

I want the lessons to inform me, not dictate for me.

So here I am. Remembering the divine birthright of endless energy that makes up every particle of my being — that can be molded, shaped, and beautifully sculpted into the reflection of my soul’s yearnings, needs, and true vision.

That’s what I’m choosing to claim. I’m not chasing the dreams of what is expected of me, or what has been pressed upon me to think I need.

Just as I know you, ultimately, are here for that too. Coveting the hope that you get to create life in your own glorious vision — growing from the center of your heart and your soul’s design.

I’ll hold the vision for each of us — to profoundly create our lives from the endless potential that we possess, individually and in shared perspective.

Our energy holds that capacity.

Let it be. Make it so.

These are my unedited intuitive voice notes — musings, stories, and guidance that comes through in the in-between moments. Circling spirituality, intuition, inner connection and alignment. Open, unpolished, and intimate — from me to you.

In this episode: a manifestation method that channeled through me completely unexpectedly — and the wild, tangible signs and synchronicities that have been confirming it ever since, from vanity plates to bird's eggs. Plus, the difference between timing unfolding on our soul's intended path and the stories we tell ourselves about how hard things "have to" be.

I had been on a walk with my kids, heading home with my youngest son and talking myself out of frustration.

It had been a morning of delays — high spirits but patience waning with one delay after another from the kids. I was seeking my daily solace — my walk outside in the sun, quiet time to myself to connect inward, to the divine, to meditate and manifest — but my loving sons wanted so badly to join me and walk together.

So I gave up my alone time and said yes to them coming, and after many distractions we left.

Ten minutes into walking, my oldest was too tired and hot, frustrated with his scooter, and turned back home. Three minutes after that my youngest felt the same and I had to walk him home.

A little lecturing from me. No exercise. No quiet connection.

We walked back as I reminded myself to just let it go and allow tenderness with them. Yesterday had been a lot of tension and upset — they fought throughout the day, did things they shouldn’t have, and I had many hard conversations about it with them, with guilt on all sides.

Not fun.

I often feel — and have felt very much recently — the contrast in mothering. The yearning to be more present, the guilt for not always being so, for being less compassionate and more reactive than I’d like. For struggling to give enough attention to my work and to my children daily, not to mention my role as a wife, tending to my home, myself…

Am I ever doing any side of my life well enough, while trying to do so many different things?

I know so many women and mothers feel this way too. There are deep roots and conversations to be had surrounding the reasons we all feel this — the lack of village, the balancing of desires, ambitions, and love. I am in it, even though I set my own daily schedule and work for myself, which often feels like yet another thing I’m not doing well enough.

I see other women in it and feel deep empathy.

So I walked home with my little one, coaching myself to relax, letting my promise that today would be kinder, more present, and more loving surface.

I glanced at my watch. It was 9:09am.

Then Nate saw a giant dragonfly — my spirit guide animal since I was a child, my messenger of guidance.

We stood together in awe as the giant dragonfly circled around us and stopped, hovering close, looking us over again and again. It was beautiful and special.

When it flew away we walked to our driveway. As I stepped toward our house I asked the dragonfly — as my guides have told me to do when I see one — for its message to me in this moment.

It said, “It is time to find your innermost love inside, and allow it to take over.” Claircognizantly I was told to allow that love to lead my behavior, my thoughts, and my actions. Not only with my children, but in many ways of being.

This has been a message in various forms to me over the past several years — to allow my heart to lead, my love to speak through me in my decisions, my words, how I show up and what I do.

And the 9:09 — 9 is the numerological ending number. The year of completion, of releasing what no longer serves you. Synchronistically, I am in a personal year 9 in my own numerology.

I have also channeled from my guides that 9s mean turning inward to grow higher — discovering self-sovereignty and self-love through inner connection. And they literally said when I channeled my personal message for 9s: “Love yourself, hold your children close.”

This past week I was also shown several physical signs and symbols with the word “WAY” on them — a license plate, a word on a truck — along with the intuitive message to allow myself to shift my ways of being as my heart and soul show me. That it’s okay to do and act differently. To shift my behavior, communication, relationships, and choices into a soul-aligned, heart-led space that evolves along with me, my growing needs, my family’s needs, our lifestyle, and my expression.

So I will remind myself to do things in my own way — the way I truly need to — in self-love, in selflessness, and heart-led. To lean into this new way of being.

As I finish writing this, I just arrived back home from running an errand with the kids. I suggested they each pick a song to listen to in the car, and as we pulled back into the garage I was dancing and singing along too.

I walked inside, opened my laptop, and saw that it was 10:10am — two 1s together. For me, 1s are the symbol of self-sovereignty, self-power, self-love, and self-trust. My own authority leading the way.

Two 1s equaling 2. The number 2 — channeled in my guides’ own words: “Trust that you are moving through life in the aligned way for you specifically.”

Blessed be — this is the way for me.

Since I was a baby I have always been a cheese lover. In fact, one of my very first and most fond memories was regularly waking up early — probably 5:30am, knowing me — as a toddler, watching the Today Show with my dad while he made me scrambled eggs with Parmesan cheese. My favorite.

Cheese was always my favorite food. Comfort food. Fun food. I loved it in all forms and all types.

I used to come home from school in elementary school through high school and make myself a plate of nachos with salsa and Greek yogurt as sour cream and dig in. In college, my best friend and I would go to the diner across the street from my apartment in Chicago and get cheese fries — often multiple days in a row. Obsessed.

So you can imagine how my heart broke when, after decades of chronic digestive illness that had become truly painful and unmanageable in my mid-thirties, I had to fully give up cheese and all other dairy, along with other high allergen trigger foods — gluten, corn, soy, eggs, caffeine, and alcohol.

Now, let’s also note that alongside all of this cheese consumption and diner food, I also ate tons of healthy foods. I was raised as an organic food vegetarian girl in the 90s who lusted over the shelves of my local health food store, The Natural Way. The scent of wheatgrass still tugs on my heart with fond nostalgia.

With this health shift, I took myself down the path of acute healing through truly nourishing whole foods, focusing mostly on plants and herbal supplements. I got serious with it, and major healing unfolded — to my great relief.

Along the way I began experimenting with plant-based cheeses. And one of my favorite recipes I created is this — my Plant-Based Smokey Nacho Cheeze Sauce. I love to make this and pour it generously over grain-free Siete cassava tortilla chips with any fresh chopped vegetables, purple cabbage, black beans, guacamole, walnut and lentil taco “meat”, pickled jalapeños, habanero hot sauce, and a scoop of Culina or Cocojune coconut yogurt. Enjoy.

Why This Sauce Nourishes

What makes this sauce so satisfying — beyond the flavor — is how genuinely nourishing its ingredients are. Cashews form the creamy base and bring healthy fats, magnesium, and plant-based protein that support sustained energy and a calm nervous system. Potato adds body and natural starch — a truly healing and grounding food — making the sauce thick and velvety without any dairy or processed thickeners. Chickpea miso is a quietly powerful ingredient — fermented and rich in beneficial enzymes and probiotics that support gut health and digestion. Lemon brings brightness and vitamin C, which also helps the body absorb plant-based iron from the other ingredients. Turmeric and smoked paprika do more than add depth and color — both carry gentle anti-inflammatory properties that support the body over time. And garlic, even in small amounts, is one of the most consistently immune-supportive foods we have access to. Together, this sauce is proof that comfort food and nourishment can be one and the same.

These are my unedited intuitive voice notes — musings, stories, and guidance that comes through in the in-between moments. Circling spirituality, intuition, inner connection and alignment. Open, unpolished, and intimate — from me to you.

In this episode: navigating painful, life-altering experiences through intuitive connection, understanding why guidance is sometimes broad and sometimes specific, and the difference between soul-aligned trust and surrender versus succumbing to circumstances.

He was the first person I dated, and it went up and down. He would pursue me, then pull back — and I was in an emotional tailspin because I didn’t understand why.

After this happened two or three times, and my patience with it was over, he came back around again and drunkenly confessed at a party that he “wanted me to be a leader.”

“What?!” I asked.

I had no idea what he meant and assumed he was talking nonsense — he was drunk, after all.

He collected himself and elaborated — requesting that I share more openly, talk more freely with him, show him my personality and express myself fully.

I was shocked, and simultaneously flattered and grateful.

He had called me out in the best way.

I had spent many years prior extremely shy socially, and was still carrying that quiet hesitation in my communication and self-expression.

Even with good friends. Even with him — a boy I genuinely liked and who I knew liked me.

As a young child I began holding myself back.

I overwhelmed my family with big emotions, felt guilty about it, and started dampening my core personality and my voice.

I was extremely sensitive and easily overwhelmed in groups of other children — the noise, the excitement, how foreign it all felt.

I didn’t want to step foot into birthday parties, so I held back with my parents until I warmed up — and then the event was over. I cried afterwards for missing out.

I faced constantly feeling “other” — the vegetarian, new age, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean child in my 1990s vastly white, conservative, Midwestern suburb.

Kids made fun of the dark hair on my arms. I no longer felt pretty as adolescence arrived with my big eyebrows and big nose — I now love my distinct exotic features but it took time.

I was rejected in middle school by mean girls. Literally pushed away from circles and cliques.

Received bullying remarks for dressing a bit differently — I was consuming fashion photography in magazines, not local trends.

So I stayed quiet. Often stayed solo.

By high school I found my people. The ones who loved alternative movies and music. Who laughed together and didn’t exclude. The art students, the theatre kids, the intellectuals. The best friend who enthusiastically pored over fashion magazines with me.

But I was used to holding back for my safety.

And this boy that I liked wanted to know the real me. That was why he had been pulling away — he couldn’t break through because I barely showed myself.

That one comment, his request that I “be a leader” and fully express, changed me instantly.

In that very moment I acted upon his ask or me, and started talking openly with him — pouring out my thoughts and feelings about him, about us — and never stopped.

We became so close. We fell in love. I felt safe and adored.

Of course we had our many differences, our high school dramas and hurt feelings that eventually led to us parting ways in college.

But he opened that part of me again — my authentic expression — and it shifted me completely.

I’d like to say I never stifled myself again, but I did — later, when I no longer felt safe with men who didn’t fully care for or respect me.

But with the people I loved and who cared for me back, I was myself.

When I met my husband, that authentic version of me came fully to the surface again and stayed. The soul-connected love I needed — the one who had every intention of loving me forever, committing to my care, adoration, and safety — brought me into full embodiment.

His safety and trust in me encouraged me to get to know myself in a much deeper way, and always trust myself. With healthy boundaries, with empowerment.

I was home again, in me.

These men opened the door and held space for me to be real, be full. But I had to step forward and make that brave choice to reveal myself.

That embodiment was all me.

I am so glad I did. What a relief it has been to let the false masks, the contorting into molds, all of those layers fall away.

It feels good to be real. It’s not always easy, or accepted — but it’s in flow. It’s freedom.

When that boy said those words to me, neither he nor I would ever have known that leadership would become an actual role I would pursue through my soul’s purpose.

But my guides, my soul’s wisdom, spoke to me through his kind heart and intentions that day.

Here I am — leading my soul’s mission through Gentle Being. Teaching people to connect to their intuition, to their bodies, to their truth, in a meaningful, nourishing, soul-led approach — for empowered, whole-being transformation.

And I wouldn’t have landed here if I hadn’t opened myself up. Opened my voice, and my heart — more than once, bravely.

Open up to yourself. Connect to your heart. Your soul. Your voice.

Express in authentic embodiment of who you truly are. Witness yourself, and allow others to see your core truth as well.

It’s magic more than it’s not.

It’s real. It’s meaningful. It’s a complete shift — in the best way.

These are my unedited intuitive voice notes — musings, stories, and guidance that comes through in the in-between moments. Circling spirituality, intuition, inner connection and alignment. Open, unpolished, and intimate — from me to you.

During the conversation, he told us that he wanted cake today. No more than two seconds later, we pulled up behind a car with a sticker on the back window — a silhouette of a tiered wedding cake with cursive writing that said “Cake Inside.” It looked like it must have been the car of someone who delivers cakes for events.

I laughed and immediately pointed it out to the kids and said, “James! Your guides and the Universe just gave you your cake!” A bit of a smile spread across his face.

His intuition is so strong, and as a highly sensitive child with big emotions, the world can feel abrasive — he feels everything deeply, very much like his mother.

I knew in that moment that his guides were being playful with him. I shared with him that they were giving him what he asked for in a way that could uplift him — adding some humor into his day when he needed it most.

Being the very determined child that he is, he had a hard time grasping how that cake was the cake he had wanted — since he couldn’t eat it. But he understood what I meant: that the Universe and his guides were there for him, communicating with him, supporting him, being playful with him.

That’s what I want to teach my children — that if they’re open to it, and aware of it, their intuition will always be there for them. To communicate with, laugh with, provide reassurance, information, and help. The Universe gives us what we need, not always what we ask for in exactly the way we expect.

We all have this gift. We simply need to open to it. To understand it. To cultivate it. To experience the joy and solace it can bring — especially when life feels difficult.

This is why I created Intuitive Awakening — a self-paced digital training in intuition and the Akashic Records — so you can develop the kind of intuitive connection that shows up in the small moments, the playful ones, the hard ones, and everything in between.

If you’re ready to cultivate that relationship for yourself, enrollment is open now.

Recently I saw a small trend of people sharing recipes for Spanikopita rice and it got me excited — I have rich memories of eating at delicious Greek restaurants, almost weekly at times while I was growing up with my parents and grandparents. I think the Mediterranean flavors really spoke to us, given that some of the flavor combinations felt similar to those in the Lebanese dishes we often made at home. And Spanakopita was always included in our orders, often alongside a crisp Greek salad, kalamata olives, and a side of fries.

I’ve missed this dish deeply now that I’ve been gluten and dairy-free for years, navigating the many food sensitivities I’ve uncovered on my healing journey. I literally used to eat a giant chunk of feta cheese the size of my adult fist — the kind sitting in tangy brine — with a plate of kalamata olives as an afternoon snack as a kid!

So seeing this Spanakopita rice trend was inspiring, and it prompted me to make my own dairy-free version packed with loads of flavor, spinach, dill, and onion. I didn’t even miss the feta — though of course you can always add some to yours!

Why This Rice Nourishes

This dish delivers nourishing ingredients in a simple, stress-free meal. There is something genuinely healing about food that comes together easily — supplying nutrients, whole foods, and flavor to your body and your family in a simple execution.

Brown rice is the foundation, a whole grain retaining its bran and germ layers, which carry fiber, B vitamins, and magnesium that support steady energy, digestion, and nervous system health.

Spinach is bountiful in this recipe. One of the most mineral-dense leafy greens available, spinach contributes iron, folate, calcium, and vitamins A and K in every serving. Using a generous amount makes it a genuinely restorative ingredient rather than a small amount.

Olive oil supports the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients from the spinach, while dill brings more than flavor — it carries gentle digestive and anti-inflammatory properties rooted in its long history as a medicinal herb.

Together, this simple dish nourishes deeply.

Yes, one of the most meaningful parts of intuitive connection and our spiritual relationship is receiving greater understanding — of what we’re experiencing, what we need, and what choices and actions to make in our lives, through deeper insight, context, and direct guidance.

But they won’t always just give us the answer.

They WILL always give us what we need.

And that’s by design. For our highest benefit. For our soul’s evolution and life’s lessons.

Imagine if all of the secrets, all of the steps, of our life were simply handed to us — a script to follow line by line, move by move.

Maybe satisfying at first. But it would become hollow.

Life is the journey.

Life is the decision making. The choices. The leaning into trust, faith, surrender, and divine guidance — in connection with our soul, our highest self, our guides.

That is true support.

Higher-level, divinely beautiful leadership, love, and nurturing.

That’s the help we truly need.

And sometimes, yes, we are given the exact steps, the complete answer — when that is the support we need on a soul level in that moment. When it is part of our soul-chosen path for this incarnation.

I believe more and more that our pathway, the steps, are all pre-written by our soul and highest self.

But we don’t fully remember when we’re living it as humans — so we can experience it in full.

That is the why.

Why we come here. To experience —

The emotions. The learning. The trust. The contrast. The love. And everything else.

So connect with your intuition to receive what you need, on a human and soul level. The support that is always there for you, in each moment.

Practical, tangible, specific, real — broad, ethereal, cosmic.

It’s all there.

And it will transform you and your life, exactly as it’s meant to.

It has been the most meaningful, life-altering, profoundly magical, and positive connection I have made in my own healing and support.

Because it has connected me with the real me — under the layers — the soul me, the higher me. Me in my ultimate truth.

Speak with your intuition. Access your purest self, and what you need each day to live in full accordance with — and in honoring of — you.

Embodied intuition is built in daily practice.

If you’re ready to deepen your intuitive connection in a grounded, structured way, enroll in Intuitive Awakening — A Comprehensive Training in Embodied Intuition & the Akashic Records.

A steady path for cultivating discernment, energetic safety, and embodied intuitive skill.

From chronic illness. Heartbreak. Depression. Lack of direction. Stagnancy. Frustration. Parenting dilemmas. Self-loathing. OCD. Misunderstanding. Fear. Anxiety.

It’s saved me from myself. It’s saved me from repeating patterns. It’s saved me from complex and unclear circumstances.

The guidance of my soul, my highest self, my energetic and spiritual guides has held me, filled me in, directed me, and reassured me time and time again.

But it took my awareness and willingness to listen.

Then it took action — motivation, trust, consistency.

The wisdom of our intuition — the insights held within our soul’s history, gifts, characteristics, intended lessons, purpose, and path — it’s always there, waiting for us to recognize it.

To communicate with it. Form a relationship, and move through life together — with ongoing, daily support.

That is what intuition has truly given me — higher understanding. Perspective. Details.

The path forward. The tools, practices, and knowledge meant uniquely for me.

So I can be — have been, and will continue to be — my own savior.

That is the gift I want to give to you too.

Spiritually led and self-guided support.

Greater empowerment. Greater meaning.

Welcome back to Gentle Nourishment, my series where I share herbal and whole-food recipes and nourishing daily practices I use to support my body and my family’s health and well-being.

Today I’m sharing a family favorite that can be used for hearty meals in a variety of ways — my Veggie Loaded Red Sauce.

I typically make my sauces from scratch so I can ensure the ingredients are clean and nourishing — free of processed oils, refined sugars, and fillers — and also more flavorful and packed with health-supporting ingredients.

This sauce is a staple in our home. Filled with a rainbow of vegetables, it increases the variety and impact of the nutrients and flavors we consume in a single meal. It is truly delicious, and a perfect way to sneak in loads of vegetables for even the pickiest eaters — adults and kids alike.

Why This Sauce Nourishes

What I love most about this sauce is how much variety it delivers in a single meal. The more diverse the plants we eat, the more we support our gut health and overall vitality — and this sauce makes that genuinely easy and delicious.

Onion and garlic bring immune-supporting and detoxifying compounds alongside all that rich, savory depth. Carrots and bell peppers add beta-carotene, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Leafy greens contribute iron and folate. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene — an antioxidant that actually becomes more available to the body when cooked — and the olive oil helps absorb all of those fat-soluble nutrients from the vegetables.

The warming spices — cinnamon and allspice — draw from the flavors of my Lebanese roots, and also bring gentle anti-inflammatory and digestive support.

Together, it all adds up to something that truly nourishes.
