So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Deep Thinker, Deep Feeler: The Path to Intuition and Psychic Awareness


For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a deep thinker and a deep feeler. I analyze everything, searching for meaning beneath the surface. I don’t just experience emotions—I absorb them, sometimes so intensely that they feel overwhelming.

Because of this, I’ve never been able to watch scary or violent movies. They don’t just scare me—they stay with me. The fear, the pain, the energy of what’s happening on screen lingers long after the credits roll. It’s as if I become part of the scene, feeling what the characters feel. For years, I thought I was just overly sensitive. But then I learned something that changed everything.

Deep thinking and deep feeling often align with heightened intuition. Deep thinkers naturally analyze, reflect, and seek meaning beyond the obvious, while deep feelers experience emotions profoundly and are highly sensitive to energy. I now realize that my sensitivity isn’t just a personality trait—it’s a sign of something more. I’m an empath, but perhaps even beyond that.

The Connection Between Deep Feeling and Intuition

At first, I dismissed my experiences as simple empathy, but the more I explored, the more I recognized a deeper connection. Could my heightened awareness be something greater—something intuitive, or even psychic? Here’s why I believe so:

  1. Deep Thinking Leads to Pattern Recognition
    I constantly search for patterns—whether in people’s behaviors, life events, or my own thoughts. Intuition operates the same way, picking up on subtle connections before our logical mind catches on.

  2. Deep Feeling Enhances Emotional Awareness
    I don’t just notice emotions—I experience them. If someone is sad, even if they don’t say a word, I feel it. I sense tension in the air before an argument starts. I can walk into a room and instantly pick up on its energy. This emotional sensitivity is not just empathy—it’s intuitive perception.

  3. Empathy as a Gateway to Intuition
    Empaths don’t just understand emotions; they absorb them. But what if that ability extends beyond emotions? What if we can also pick up on thoughts, intentions, or even spiritual energy? Many intuitive and psychic people begin as empaths, and I’m beginning to believe my sensitivity is more than just emotional—it’s energetic.

  4. A Deep Connection to the Unseen
    For years, I ignored my gut feelings—only to realize later that they were right. Now, I’m learning to trust them. Because intuition isn’t just a vague feeling; it’s real, and it’s powerful.

What This Means for Me (And Maybe for You, Too)

If you:

  • Feel emotions deeply, sometimes to the point of overwhelm
  • Pick up on energies and moods without knowing why
  • Struggle with violent or intense media because it affects you on a deeper level
  • Have strong gut feelings that often turn out to be right

Then you may also be more intuitive than you realize. You might even have psychic abilities waiting to be explored.

I’m still on this journey, but one thing is clear—deep thinking and deep feeling aren’t weaknesses. They are gifts. They allow us to connect with the world in ways most people never will. They make us more aware, more in tune, and more open to the unseen.

And maybe, just maybe, they are the key to unlocking something even greater.

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...
