The Most Important Work You Will Ever Do
All of the world’s problems (and yours) come down to this.
Do Not Look Away
This post might make you uncomfortable. Can you sit with that discomfort long enough to figure out where it’s coming from? Let’s find out.
The Great Awakening
You think you understand awakening…but do you?
I Challenge You
Want to know what kind of energy you’re embodying right now? Answer these questions to find out.
The Shi(f)t Has Hit The Fan
In the Tarot world, we have a common label we use for when the shit hits the fan: a Tower moment. The Tower is a major arcana card that represents having the rug pulled out from under you, suddenly, and swiftly. The world is currently in the throes of a great Tower moment. Here’s what that means, and what comes after.
Spiritual Politics
Are your spiritual leaders telling you who to vote for? If so, you might want to reconsider who you’re listening to.
Here’s a tip on how to evaluate the people you put on a pedestal.
What Price Freedom?
Reposting an old article from 2017 that seems relevant right now: Donald Trump showed up in my dream last night and taught me an important lesson. Here’s what happened.
Four Ways to Stay Sane Over the Next Two Months
I know things have been intense these last two weeks, especially here in the greater New York City area, and they are only going to get more intense in the next few weeks as cases continue to rise. Here’s four strategies that can help your mental health survive the next few weeks.
Age of Aquarius: I’m Coming Out of Retirement
Well hello, friends. It’s been a long time. Given the state of affairs in the world today (global pandemic and crumbling economic system), it would seem the universe is putting out the call to lightworkers: All hands on deck. This is the moment you’ve been preparing for. So, here I am. Springing out of retirement to hold the lines. Here’s what this mess means for us as a global community, astrologically speaking.
I Quit
The day I thought would never come has arrived. This the end of In My Sacred Space.
When Was The Last Time You Cried in Front of Someone?
I’m actually not as good at vulnerability as you probably think I am. Here’s why.
The Day I Threw My Career In The Trash
Eighteen months ago, I abruptly shuttered my business as a marketing, business, and branding consultant for tech startups. Here’s why.
Confessions of Avoidant Attachment Personality
Reflections and ruminations about self-destructive behavioral patterns and how they affect interpersonal relationships, particularly those of a romantic nature.
An Open Letter To All The Men Who Have Failed Me
esterday was Valentine’s Day, an annual reminder of all of love’s disappointments. A day that I spent recalling all of the ways you’ve failed to show up for me. Every time one of you disappeared after I poured my pain on the floor for you to see,...
Ash Talks LGBTQ Spirituality and Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet with The Big Seance
A couple of weeks ago, I got together with with Slade Roberson (of the Shift Your Spirits Podcast) and Patrick Keller (of The Big Seance Podcast) and we had a three-way “triangle table” discussion on LGBTQ spirituality, coming out of the (spiritual) closet and how to make spirituality more accessible to the elusive straight male.
Recognizing and Breaking Negative Relationship Patterns
Have you ever met another person that you felt inexplicably drawn to, thought they were “the one” and then ended up having your heart broken? Do you have this nagging feeling that you keep dating the same person, over and over? If you can’t understand why your relationships seem to always end up going the same way, no matter who you’re dating or how much chemistry you have, this post is for you.
A Year Without Sex
One year ago, I stopped having sex. Here’s why.
Collective Feminine Rage
A larger collective theme that has been going on since this time last year when #MeToo first broke the silence is the core wounding of women and the feminine. Globally, for centuries, women have been violently raped, murdered, suppressed, controlled, burned as witches and enslaved as sex servants. We’ve never been truly safe, and we’re really pissed off about it.
The Success Trap
I realized a while ago that material success is an ego trap. A shiny distraction from what really matters.
A Bystander’s Guide to Suicide
Advice from a reluctant pro on being someone else’s lifeline.
Astrological Shit Storm On Approach
Friday, July 27th, is a full moon in Aquarius that also happens to be a total lunar eclipse. This phenomena is known as a “blood moon” and it’s coming in strong. Here’s a breakdown.
Breaking Down Psychic Abilities
Learn about different types of psychic abilities and the breakdown of predominant clairs, how people use various psychic modalities, and more.
Everything That’s Wrong With The Body And Sex Positivity Movements
The current “Body Positive” movement has one gigantic flaw and I’m about to rip into it today.
The Oxygen Mask Analogy
God knows I love a good fixer upper project. I’m the queen of the come up, and I’ll turn another man’s trash into treasure all day err’ day. This excellent, innovative ability to see untapped potential, revitalize and make use out of broken or unwanted things takes a turn for the worst in other parts of my personality, when I try to revitalize and make use out of broken people.
Grief, Interrupted
How anger interrupted my grieving process.
This Week I Reintegrated A Past Life Soul Fragment
I had a past life memory recall this week and it was by far the most intense metaphysical experience I’ve ever had, and maybe the most epic love story I’ve ever witnessed.
Vulnerability, Intimacy, and Deepening Relationships
Creating deep, meaningful relationships was a major goal of mine when I moved to New York. I picked quite the challenging city for it, but I seem to be figuring it out, and I think what I’m discovering is something that’s needed here, of all places.
Aligning With Your True Self
I’ve always been fascinated with how accurately (or inaccurately) people perceive me and whether or not I present myself as I actually am. Today I’ve got a little exercise for you to help me find out.
Cultivating Radical Vulnerability
SURPRISE! You get another blog post. I’m not going to lie, this is probably one of my favorites that I’ve written to date.
The Healing Spiral
Healing is not a linear process, but rather, an upward spiral of sorts. You process things cyclically and each time it comes around, you peel back another layer and get closer to your core. That’s certainly been true for me over the last several months, and I do feel like I’m starting to reach the pinnacle of it all. Finally.
I Can’t Remember August and Other Ruminations on the Last Six Months
Stress will fuck you up. Here’s the number it’s done on me.
Love Without Limits
This won’t surprise some of you, as you may have guessed it from things I’ve written over the last three or four years, but I’ve never said it outright. It’s something I had to settle into internally, and then slowly, my life shifted to match (as within, so without… you know the drill).
Baby Steps
I posted this to my Facebook group already, but thought it was worth sharing (and adding to) for the blog. This is going to sound really silly to some of you, I’m sure, but I just reached a really big personal care milestone.
Life Changes
Life can change in an instant. This time last year, mine looked very different.
A New Year, A New You
I’m still alive 🙂 Just popping in for a few 2017 reflections.
Synchronicities and Spiritual Road Signs
Hindsight is always 20/20 and the signs and syncs we receive along the way often make sense further down the road. I’m starting to see how mine are playing out and how trust in the universe is paramount.
Holistic Spaces Podcast
I did another podcast interview a couple of months ago with Feng Shui expert Anji Cho on her podcast, Holistic Spaces. We talk about fent shui, decorating your space with energetic intentions, using your space to create an ideal environment for dreaming and more!
Can You Experience Clairaudience If You Are Deaf?
Question from a reader:
“I’m Jessi and I was born profoundly deaf. Since my empath awakening this year, my ‘Hum’ since 1998 turned into hums, tics, beats patterns and melodies. I recognise a low voice and a childlike song voice. I am pretty sure I heard my name, ‘JESS,’ twice. The childlike keeps singing the same unrecognisable song. Melodies come and go and I need to figure out how to understand them when my brain has never been used for actual listening, as I use sign language. But the Hum and ticking is constant. The sounds I’m hearing is so busy and overlapping. I can decipher layers of different frequencies. Am I hearing the frequencies of earth and orbs, the UFO’s? (I captured thousands of orbs on my camera last night which got me thinking, my yard is FULL of them particularly our peach tree.) Does clairaudiency only apply to actual communications and songs? I do have instinctual conversations in my mind which I try to control, so I know this is different. It’s rather interfering during meditation when I just don’t understand a word!”
Whiskey, Neat, With A Shot of Vulnerability
When Sunday brunch turns into an all-day bar crawl therapy session like the Friday night before, you just go with it.
Life is Regulating
I’m starting to find some stability and it’s such a relief.

![Tips for surviving Saturn in Aquarius (12/17/20-3/7/2023)
Saturn was in Aquarius beginning March 21st and has now retrograded, temporarily, back into Capricorn as of yesterday, July 1st.
During this three month span, we got a taste of what Saturn’s three year sojourn through Aquarius will be like (December 17th, 2020-March 7, 2023). No secret at this point that it’s been one for the history books, so buckle up: we may have A LOT more of this to look forward to in the coming three years.
With so many social ills being revealed (thanks Pluto in Capricorn!) and a desire to create a better system that is for the greater good of EVERYONE and not just a small few—our Saturn in Aquarius theme—we’re going to be dealing with A LOT of heightened emotions around social justice, and with an ongoing period of this, it’s going to be a ripe opportunity for compassion fatigue.
Compassion fatigue: indifference to charitable appeals on behalf of those who are suffering, experienced as a result of the frequency or number of such appeals.
How are we able to continue momentum with building the kind of world we want to live in when the task is so great and there is so much that needs to be done?
****Realize that you cannot be everything to everyone.****
Every revolution has its players and they aren’t all doing all the things. You don’t have to be a X-Wing pilot AND a general AND a smuggler AND a Jedi master. You figure out what you’re good at, you figure out where you’re able to make the most impact, you figure out the audience you have the most earned authority with, and you laser focus your efforts on that cross-section of people. You educate them, you mobilize them, and you lead them.
