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.
Finding Purpose in the New Paradigm
The universe sends me messages disguised as messages for others. Are you looking for purpose? Here’s how to find it.
Some Seriously Raw Emotion
A new week, a new self realization. Eventually I’ll shake it all out. Additionally, I’m giving away 10 free spots in the next round of my dream course – check out the post for details on how one of those can be you!
Workshopping My Life
Things in my world are still changing rapidly. I’m still learning to let go of the old me, piece by piece. Here’s what’s on the cutting block this week, plus a small request.

![I wrote in my very last blog post (link in bio) that I take serious issue with the commercialization of spirituality. Once the desire for success overtakes the desire for service to the greater good, you cross the border into service of your own ego, and the work loses its integrity.
✳︎
Spiritual work is sacred work. People are trusting you with their deepest level of vulnerability. You have a responsibility to honor that within your interactions. You have a responsibility to model integrity, not just in how you do business, but in how you live your entire fucking life.
✳︎
It’s easy to tell people the fundamentals of how to create change in their lives. It’s a wholly other thing to show them in the way we carry ourselves day-to-day. It calls us to elevate ourselves, our actions, and the entirety of our lives to a higher level of integrity. To live fully within our purpose in every moment and be a beacon of hope for the masses.
✳︎
THIS IS THE HIGHEST CALLING, THE GREATEST PURPOSE – TO BE THAT WHICH YOU PRESENT YOURSELF AS.
✳︎
The more time I’ve spent marketing on social media, Instagram in particular, the more disillusioned I’ve become with people who claim to be something they aren’t, the people who follow them, and the people who help create them.
✳︎
Many spiritual and heart-based entrepreneurs aren't comfortable marketing themselves.
✳︎
Most traditional business coaches will tell you that it's fear of putting yourself out there. They’ll tell you, in the most flowery, inspirational language possible, to quit being a coward, toughen up and power through it. They’ll disguise this message as, “You’re letting your fear control you. It’s imposter syndrome. You just need to put yourself out there.”
✳︎
They’ll write post after post “challenging” you to overcome this fear and “take my course” or “join my training program” for just $[insert ridiculous price here] and they’ll have you rolling in clients in no time, making all the money, working from home, and living your best entrepreneurial life, no doubt attached to a photo of themselves in a thong bikini working poolside with a margarita.
