Most people are trying to connect to their intuition in ways that keep them second-guessing themselves.

They pull cards. Ask for signs. Worry they’re being deceived. And never feel fully grounded or clear.

In this episode, I break down what spirit guides actually are, how they communicate, and why learning to connect from within not through fear, tools, or external authority...changes everything.

I share:

• Why spirit guides are one of the most underutilized resources in spiritual awakening

• The difference between guides, angels, higher self, and loved ones in spirit

• How fear and unintegrated shadow shut down intuition

• Why your guides don’t command you and what it means if you think they are

• How to start trusting what you receive instead of questioning it

This conversation is about sovereignty, discernment, and embodied spiritual connection not spiritual hierarchy or blind belief.

If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your intuition and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you.

If 2025 felt like an ending you didn’t ask for… you’re not imagining it.

In this episode of Stop Trying to Be Spiritual, I’m joined again by Courtney Taylor (numerologist + psychic) to unpack what was actually happening in 2025’s collective Year 9 energy and what 2026’s collective Year 1 means for your identity, leadership, and the next 9 years of your life.

We talk about numerology in a way that’s practical, grounded, and weirdly validating. Especially if you’ve been in that in-between space where you know everything changed… but you can’t fully see what’s next yet.

• Why 2025 felt heavy: endings, shedding, and “the universe will do it for you” energy

• What 2026 Year 1 is really about (and why you may not see instant results yet)

• How to calculate your personal year (and why it hits differently depending on your life path)

• Master numbers in personal years (11/22) and when they matter

• The personal day numbers system Courtney uses to plan her life + business (and stop the shame spiral)

• “Money days” (yes, that’s a real thing in this method) + why Day 8 is best

• Odd vs even number energy: momentum vs integration (and why some of us hate structure but need it)

• Compatibility + number dynamics (and why some number pairings feel… challenging)

• Timing for launches, big decisions, and even conceiving/creation cycles

Courtney’s closing message for 2026 is simple: move before you’re ready.
Not from chaos. From self-leadership.

If you’ve ever questioned your intuition, felt overwhelmed by what you’re sensing, or wondered if you’re doing something wrong spiritually. This episode is for you.

In this episode, I break down:

• Mediumship and spirit communication after death

• Angels vs spirit guides and how they actually feel different

• The fear around “entity attachments” and why it’s often misunderstood

• Energy cleansing myths and what’s really happening beneath the surface

This isn’t about denying spiritual experiences. It’s about understanding them without fear, coming back into your body, and learning to trust your intuition from a grounded place.
