Letting Go of My Mother's Ghost

Season 8, Ep. 473

Grief hit me like a tidal wave, even with all my knowledge of the spirit world. This week, I’m talking with Samantha Rose, a ghostwriter for a famous medium, who lost her mother to suicide. She shares how she used her professional skills to reconnect with her mom through dreams and automatic writing, finding a way to forgive her and, ultimately, herself. This is a powerful conversation about the masks we wear, the courage to ask for help, and the profound realization that love doesn't end when a life does.

  • 476. The Energy Rules of Success

    41:32||Season 8, Ep. 476
    If you've ever walked into a room and felt the tension before anyone spoke, or made a decision you knew was right but couldn’t logically explain, you already know what we’re talking about. For years, I kept my own spiritual side locked away, afraid it didn’t belong in the professional world. Michele Phillips not only lived that split—she figured out how to heal it. In this conversation, we get into the concrete science behind your energy, why your “gut” is more reliable than your resume, and the simple shift that turns a room of skeptics into believers. No fluff, just the real framework for becoming the boss of your own energy. 00:00 Introduction: The Closeted Spiritual Executive01:32 Michele’s Journey from Corporate to Spiritual05:24 The Wild Horse of Energy and Early Mentors08:00 The Unspoken Rules and Choosing Intuition11:57 Defining Energy as Emotions13:51 Personal Energy Alignment and the Flow State17:40 The Ladder Up Technique for Emotional Regulation22:27 How to Use the Ladder in Corporate Settings26:39 Energy Rules and Spiritual Bypassing30:07 Managing the Voices in Your Head33:16 Integrating Spirituality into the Boardroom35:27 Signs from Deceased Loved Ones at Work40:08 Where to Find Michele PhillipsLEARN MORE ABOUT MicheleWebsite: energizeyourhappiness.comBook: Energy Rules (Available on Audible)JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

  • 475. Soul Dislocation and the Way Back

    49:15||Season 8, Ep. 475
    Lorena Savvedra Smith talks about something most of us feel but can’t name: soul dislocation. That spiraling, fragmented feeling after a hard conversation. The numbness when the world feels like too much. Her ancestors had a name for it, and a way back. In this conversation, we explore why our rush to “heal” with ancient practices might be causing more harm, and how true healing asks us to stop running from nature’s power—and run toward it. 00:00 Introduction: The Ferocity of True Healing 03:54 What is Eco-Psychology? 06:02 Growing Up With Ancestral Wisdom 09:48 Nature: Grandmother and Ferocious Wind 14:57 Honoring Ancient Practices Without Colonizing Them 21:48 Lessons From the Elders: We Are All Family 26:07 The Jaguar’s Call: Running Toward What Frightens Us 29:33 Shaman or Priest?

  • 474. Why You Feel Disconnected

    52:30||Season 8, Ep. 474
    All trauma is spiritual trauma. It severs the impulse to reach for wonder, connection, and meaning—the very essence of our soul. In this episode, Dr. Hillary McBride, a leading voice on embodiment and spiritual trauma, redefines how we understand healing. We explore the holes trauma leaves in our souls, why the body is the portal back to our spirituality, and a simple yet profound practice (heart rate sensing) that can unlock your intuition and reconnect you to yourself. This is a conversation about the space between life and death, and the path back to who you really are.00:00 The Core Wound: Trauma as a Spiritual Severing03:36 What is the "Space Between" Life and Death?05:18 The Many Deaths We Live Before We Die08:19 How Spiritual Trauma is Diagnosed in the Therapy Room13:19 Defining Spirituality vs. Religion16:27 Spiritual Trauma: Severing the Drive for Wonder19:47 Why Spirituality is the Antidote to Trauma23:28 The Risk of Spiritual Bypassing and a Grounded Path Back26:09 Rehabilitating Therapy to Heal the Soul30:34 A Case Study in Spiritual Flourishing44:20 How to Embody: Interoception and Heart Rate Sensing51:23 Where to Find Dr. Hillary McBrideLEARN MORE ABOUT HILLARY·        Website: [HillaryLMcBride.com](http://www.hillaryl McBride.com)·        Instagram: @hillaryleanamcbride·        Books: The Wisdom of Your Body, Practices for Embodied Living, Holy HurtJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

  • 472. How to Be Radically Honest

    01:05:47||Season 8, Ep. 472
    If you are waiting for the universe to explain why something painful happened, stop. You will never get that answer. Today, Caroline Myss and I get into why your insistence on an explanation is blocking your healing, how lying to yourself erodes your intuition, and what it really means to have faith (it’s not religion). This is a masterclass in spiritual adulthood.00:00 Why Caroline Myss Rethought Everything02:59 The Accidental Birth of the Medical Intuitive08:27 The Gift of Quiet & Incubating Your Gifts12:48 Intuition: The Senses of the Soul17:42 Faith vs. Trust: Why You Need Both24:40 The Real Question: When Did You Start Lying?30:29 The Spiritual Crisis of a Lawless World35:26 The "Two Minutes" Rule for Storytelling39:50 The Epidemic of Entitlement43:20 How to Pray (When You're Not Religious)51:39 Co-Creation: Asking for What Actually Matters56:11 How to Be a Light in a Dark World  Learn More About Caroline MyssWebsite: Myss.comPebbles at the Well Series: Available on her official website.JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

  • 471. The Lost Art of Conscious Aging

    47:27||Season 8, Ep. 471
    Are you afraid you're shrinking instead of growing? My conversation today with Ron Pevny will completely change how you see your later years. We’ve been taught to fight aging, but indigenous cultures knew that becoming an elder is a spiritual pinnacle we must prepare for. Ron reveals the difference between just getting older and stepping into the fullness of who you were always meant to be. 00:00 The Lost Art of Conscious Aging03:17 Defining the Shift from Midlife to Elderhood06:14 What is the True Elder Archetype?09:25 How Western Society Lost Its Elders13:15 The Impact of Family Breakdown on Aging19:41 The Maori: A 12-Year Training to Become an Elder25:00 Why Aging Should Feel Exciting, Not Dreadful29:33 Beyond "Active Aging": The Real Gift of Elderhood31:50 Spirituality as the Essence of Conscious Aging35:12 Rites of Passage: Why We Need More Than a Party40:04 The "Space Between" and Preparing for Death44:19 Finding Support & Ron's Resources LEARN MORE ABOUT RON PEVNY:·        Website: [CenterforConsciousEldering.com]·        Book: Conscious Living, Conscious Aging: Claiming the Gifts of Elderhood
  • 470. The Science of Thriving

    50:46||Season 8, Ep. 470
    Today, I’m talking with Jon Rosemberg. He spent decades climbing the corporate ladder, closing massive deals, and achieving everything we’re told will make us happy. But his real wake-up call didn’t come in a boardroom—it happened on his basement floor, building Legos with his kids. In this powerful conversation, Jon breaks down the difference between success and true thriving, and shares the science-backed map to reclaim your agency, find meaning, and reconnect with what actually matters. 00:00 From Survival Mode to Thriving02:43 Jon's Family History of Survival04:37 Defining Success vs. Thriving06:58 The Lego Epiphany: A Wake-Up Call11:51 The Breadcrumbs Leading to Change14:59 The Spiral of Survival and Thriving18:25 The AIR Method: Awareness, Inquiry, Reframing23:59 Real-Life Example: Reframing Failure29:38 Defining Transcendence and Spirituality33:37 Clients and Kids as Spiritual Teachers37:15 Integrating Transcendent Experiences43:05 Small Steps to Start Thriving Today48:21 Where to Find Jon and His Book Learn more about Jon Rosemberg: Website: jonrosemberg.com Book: "A Guide to Thriving" LinkedIn: @JonRosembergJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

  • 469. The Art of Manifesting Reality

    53:34||Season 8, Ep. 469
    I always thought manifesting was about thinking, visualizing, and waiting. My talk with Colette Baron-Reid turned that idea on its head. She showed me that the ancient, physical act of drawing is the missing neurological link between a spiritual desire and tangible reality. We discuss why digital vision boards fall short, how she achieved everything on her boards only after letting go, and the simple doodling practice that rewires your brain to co-create with the universe. 00:00 Reclaiming Creative Power from Algorithms 02:46 Introducing Colette 03:27 Recovery & Early Vision Boards 09:44 Manifestation Only Works When You Let Go 13:53 Two Careers: Chasing Music vs. Receiving Intuitive Work 21:58 How the Universe Delivered Her Dream in a Different Form 25:03 Amy’s Community Offerings & Housekeeping 26:20 The Evolution: From Vision Boards to "Neuro Arts" 29:38 Why We Turn to Manifestation in Uncertain Times 31:28 The Missing Piece: Embodiment Through Drawing 33:49 The Neuroscience: How Your Brain Filters Reality 39:05 The Practice: Doodling Circles to Rewire Your Brain 43:05 Shapes & Symbols: The Language of the Primitive Mind 46:47 A Personal Test: Manifesting a Call from The New York Times 54:24 How to Connect & Learn More Learn More About ColetteBook: The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality Website: colettebaronreid.com Free Resources: Downloads, Oracle Cards, and Classes available on her site.   JOIN MY COMMUNITY   In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

  • 468. The Spiritual Power of Your Dreams

    56:06||Season 8, Ep. 468
    Dreams have always felt like a locked door to me, a part of my inner world I couldn't quite access. My conversation with dream scientist Dr. Bonnie Buckner changed that. We explore how your sleeping brain is a creative powerhouse, how nightmares are actually trapped energy, and how she literally moved to France because of a dream. This is about listening to the most intimate conversation you have with yourself.00:00 Welcome: Creativity & The Power of Dreams01:43 Meet Dr. Bonnie Buckner: From Hollywood to Dream Science04:31 How Bonnie’s Dream Journey Began07:21 The "Mystery" of Prophetic and Visitation Dreams09:17 The Modern Creativity Crisis12:15 Dreams, Imagination, and Manifesting Your Life16:06 How to Start Remembering Your Dreams19:26 How a Dream Sent Bonnie to France26:23 Daydreams vs. Sleep Dreams30:15 Every Aspect of the Dream is You33:45 The Seven Kinds of Dreams (Nightmares, Clear Dreams & More)38:18 A Practical Example: Interpreting a "Clear Dream"42:09 How Many Dreams Do We Have?44:22 Using Lucid Dreaming to Solve Problems48:04 Dreams as a Spiritual Pathway51:36 Amy Shares & Bonnie Interprets a Personal Dream55:38 How to Connect with Bonnie & Learn More Learn More About Bonnie: Book: The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Dreams to Transform Your Life Website: bonniebuckner.com Dream Institute: International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery (dreamwithiidi.com) Instagram: @bonniebuckner.com JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
