Send us Fan Mail Feeling disconnected from yourself, even when nothing in your life is technically wrong, is a sign your intuition is asking for your attention. In this episode of Aligned & Abundant, Intuitive Spiritual Teacher Christine Marcario explores why we lose touch with ourselves, how people pleasing and constant busyness drown out your inner knowing, and the small, gentle shifts that help you reconnect with who you really are. Disconnection rarely happens all at once. It builds through a thousand tiny moments, like the yes you said when your whole body was saying no or the dream you set aside because someone else needed you more. Christine invites you to ask yourself one honest question: are you experiencing your life, or are you managing it? She shares her own story from a year and a half ago, when an hour-long commute, a full classroom, and years of people pleasing left her showing up for everyone except herself, until her soul made it clear it was time for a bigger classroom. Hear the full story in Episode 11. Through a spiritual lens, Christine reframes disconnection as a message rather than a problem. Craving deeper conversations, feeling more sensitive to energy, or questioning what you once accepted can point to exhaustion, spiritual growth, or both. You'll learn why intuition speaks as a quiet knowing instead of a dramatic sign, why rest and receiving are essential to self-trust, and why your worth was never tied to how much you produce. Christine also guides you through the Come Home Check-In, a simple five-minute reflection practice with three journal prompts to help you notice what you're carrying, what part of yourself you've been missing, and what you actually need. She closes with a permission slip and a powerful question to journal on this week: what would change if you started treating your own needs as something worth honoring? If you're ready for support on this path, Christine shares how the Soul Shine Collective community and 1:1 intuitive coaching help you keep coming back to yourself, plus an invitation to Gathered: A Cozy Fall Retreat, co-hosted with Casey Taton, November 5–7, 2026 in Toms River, New Jersey.

Send us Fan Mail Release the fog. Claim your throne. Answer the call. This week’s collective tarot reading brought the Ace of Swords, The Emperor, and Judgement, and together they’re asking you to stop second-guessing what you already know and step into your own authority. In this Frequency Friday, I share the energy for the weekend of October 16–18 and the week ahead through October 22. We talk about the waxing moon in Capricorn and Sunday’s First Quarter Moon, a supportive Mars–Saturn trine, and Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius, which brings the inner transformation you’ve been doing since May out into your life. For the week ahead, the moon moves through Aquarius and then Pisces, building toward the Full Moon in Taurus. Every part of the forecast includes how to work with the energy in your personal life and your business. Building on Tuesday’s Tarot for Beginners episode, we try that episode’s intuition practice together with this week’s three cards before I share their meanings. You’ll hear why the Ace of Swords is about releasing overthinking, how The Emperor invites you to lead your life with steady, loving structure, and why Judgement is a card of rebirth, not something to fear. Archangel Michael comes through for the weekend with a message about trusting what you see and cutting away what clouds your clarity. Archangel Gabriel, the messenger connected to the trumpet on the Judgement card, guides the week ahead and helps you share your voice. In the retrograde report, we cover Venus retrograde in Scorpio and what it means for love, self-worth, pricing, and past clients. We also touch on Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, Uranus retrograde in Gemini, and Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow, with simple tips to get organized before Mercury stations retrograde on October 24. Your energetic focus this week is sovereignty, with a two-minute morning practice and this mantra: “I see clearly, I lead my life with love, and I answer my calling.” This week’s journal prompts: What do I already know deep down that I’ve been pretending I’m still figuring out?Where in my life am I ready to sit on my own throne?What is calling me right now, and what would it look like to say yes?If tarot is calling to you, my course, Tarot for Beginners: From Curious to Confident, begins November 3rd. It’s four live classes, and founding cohort members join at the special price of $177. Enrollment is open through November 2nd. Missed Tuesday’s episode?

Send us Fan Mail Tarot for beginners starts with a surprising truth: the history of tarot begins with a card game, played by noble families in 15th-century Italy, not in a secret temple. In this episode of Aligned & Abundant, I walk you through where tarot really came from, how tarot cards became a tool for self-reflection, and the grounded ways tarot can help you trust your intuition. We travel from the late 1300s, when playing cards first arrived in Europe through trade with the Islamic world, to the 1440s in northern Italy, when artists added the illustrated "triumph" cards that became the game of tarocchi. I share the hand-painted Visconti-Sforza decks of Milan, full of gold leaf and rich color, and I'll be posting some of these gorgeous cards over on Instagram so you can see them for yourself. From there, we follow tarot's shift from game to spiritual tool. You'll hear how Antoine Court de Gébelin's 1781 belief in tarot's Egyptian roots sparked a whole new way of seeing the cards, how Etteilla created one of the first decks made for reading, and how Éliphas Lévi and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connected tarot to mystical traditions and spiritual growth. Then we land in 1909 with the deck so many of us learned on, and I pause on the artist Pamela Colman Smith, who illustrated all 78 cards with full scenes. Her quiet gift is the reason beginners can feel a card before they ever memorize it, and there's such a beautiful lesson in her story about honoring your intuitive gifts, whether or not anyone sees them yet. In the second half, we explore the benefits of tarot. Tarot gives your intuition a language, creates a pause that helps your nervous system settle, and works as a mirror rather than a master. It brings clarity to decisions and, over time, deepens your self-trust as you notice how often your first instinct was right. I also share the things I wish someone had told me as a beginner, including why there's no such thing as a bad card, even The Tower. Your invitation this week is simple. Pull one card each morning, sit with it for one full minute before looking up its meaning, and write one sentence about what you sense. You might be surprised how often your intuition was already there. If tarot is calling to you, my brand-new course, Tarot for Beginners: From Curious to Confident, begins November 3rd. It's four live classes, and as part of my founding cohort, you'll join at the special price of $177. Enrollment is open through November 2nd: [course link]. This is the first of two courses, with an intermediate course to follow. You're also warmly invited to Gathered: A Cozy Fall Retreat for women, which Casey Taton and I are hosting November 5th through 7th in Toms River, New Jersey: aligned-and-abundant.kit.com/retreat. And if you'd love ongoing support as you grow your intuition, come join us inside the Soul Shine Collective. Stay tuned for this week's Frequency Friday, with the energy for the weekend ahead and into the week. 💜 Support the show ✨ Loved this episode?

Send us Fan Mail The New Moon in Libra lands on the 10/10 portal this weekend, and with Venus retrograde, this fresh start isn't asking you to rush. If your new moon intentions feel flat or you're not sure what you want yet, you're not doing it wrong. This is a new moon for quiet decisions, small steps, and beginning gently. In this Frequency Friday drop, I walk you through the energy of the weekend and the week ahead, October 9 to 15, 2026. We look at why a new moon in a Venus-ruled sign feels different while Venus is retrograde, and what the 10/10 portal brings as a doorway of completion and new beginnings. I also share how Tuesday's Micro-Rituals for Fall episode connects to this weekend. One candle and one sentence is a new moon ritual, and it counts. ✨ In this episode: New Moon in Libra on October 10, 2026, and the 10/10 portal energyVenus retrograde in Scorpio: reviewing relationships, money, offers, and pricing instead of reinventing themThe moon moving through Scorpio and Sagittarius this week, and the best days for reflection, sales conversations, and visibilityPluto stationing direct in Aquarius on October 15 and what begins to loosenSaturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, Uranus retrograde in Gemini, and the Mercury retrograde shadow ahead of October 24A three-card collective tarot reading: Seven of Wands (release), Knight of Wands (stepping into), and Four of Pentacles reversed (focus)Archangel Chamuel's message about what returns during Venus retrograde, and a simple prayer to call in his supportMy channeled messages on TikTok and how they arrive in divine timingThree reflection questions, a nightly candle practice, and a journal prompt for the weekA first look at my upcoming six-week Tarot for Beginners courseYour energetic focus this week is begin small.

Send us Fan Mail Micro-rituals can build real spiritual resilience, and you don't need a two-hour morning routine to feel connected to your soul. Fifteen minutes a day and a little intention is enough to strengthen your intuition, soothe your nervous system, and bring you back to yourself, even in the busiest season of your life. As fall settles in and our calendars fill up fast, so many of us let go of the very practices that keep us grounded. In this solo episode, I share my own story from 19 years as a middle school English teacher, when I'd get so psyched up for elaborate 5 AM routines and then talk myself out of them the moment the alarm went off. What I know now is that I was never failing. I was trying to fit my soul into a schedule that wasn't built for my life. We explore micro-changing, the idea that lasting transformation comes from small shifts practiced consistently rather than big shifts practiced occasionally. Your nervous system can actually receive small practices, relax into them, and come to trust them. Over time, they become a path back to yourself that you can find even on your hardest days. I walk you through three simple, seasonal micro-rituals that each take about five minutes: a morning espresso ritual where your first few sips become a moment of intention, a quick intuitive card pull with tarot, oracle, or angel cards to strengthen your inner knowing, and intentional candle lighting to bring warmth and rest into those darker fall evenings. I also connect today's conversation to last week's Frequency Friday, Open Your Hands, and how Venus retrograde is inviting us to release old ideas of what spiritual practice should look like, while Archangel Jophiel helps us notice the sacred in the ordinary. You'll leave with a simple seven-day action step, a permission slip to let your practice be small and imperfect, and an invitation to practice alongside others inside the Soul Shine Collective or go deeper with me through one-on-one coaching. If your spiritual practice has been waiting for the perfect quiet morning, this is your sign to start small. Pour the coffee, pull one card, light one candle, and remember that you never left yourself. You're simply finding your way back.

Send us Fan Mail Healing the parent wound begins when you understand why the boss who's never satisfied, the partner who runs hot and cold, and the friend who drains you all feel so familiar. This episode brings together inner child healing, soul contracts, energy work, astrology, and cord cutting with the archangels to help you release resentment and stop attracting versions of your parents. The word resentment comes from the French ressentir, meaning to feel again, and that one definition explains so much. Resentment is re-feeling the same hurt, and whatever we keep feeling, we keep practicing. I walk you through why this happens from three angles. Spiritually, karma is unfinished energy, and our parents are often our first and most intense soul contract, so when a lesson isn't learned with them, it gets reassigned to someone new. Energetically, resentment creates cords held in the heart, solar plexus, and throat chakras, broadcasting a frequency that draws in matching people. Psychologically, Freud's repetition compulsion and Harville Hendrix's Imago Theory show that part of us is still hoping for a different ending. For my astrology lovers, we map the parent wound in your birth chart through your Moon, Saturn, Chiron, South Node, and the fourth and tenth houses, and talk about why your Saturn return between 28 and 30 so often brings these patterns into the light. You'll also hear five of the most common ways the loop shows up, including the one I've lived again and again: friends who leave. Then comes the part you'll return to. Your toolkit for breaking the loop includes the trigger trace, three simple questions that turn any trigger into medicine; the unsent letter for clearing the throat chakra; the Hawaiian practice of Hoʻoponopono; an EFT tapping setup statement for resentment; a cord cutting prayer with Archangel Michael and Archangel Zadkiel; and the practice of rewriting your response when the next lesson arrives. We close with a guided release meditation to meet your younger self and let the cord go. If you're driving, save it for when you can close your eyes. Journal prompts from this episode: Who in my life right now reminds me of a parent, and in what way? What am I still hoping that parent will say or do? What role did I play in my family, and where am I still playing it? What would I do differently if I no longer needed their approval? If I fully release this, what kind of people would I make room for? Releasing resentment doesn't mean what happened was okay, and your boundaries are sacred. It means you take your energy back, and when you heal this, you heal backward through your lineage and forward for the next generation. The loop isn't happening to you, it's happening for you. If this stirred something up, you don't have to do this work alone. Come heal with us inside the Soul Shine Collective. 💜 Support the show ✨ Loved this episode?

Send us Fan Mail Something's been rising in you lately — a quiet "I think I'm ready" going up against an "am I even allowed to want this?" This Saturday's Full Moon in Aries turns the lights on that exact tension, and this episode walks you through what it's asking you to feel, choose, and finally let land.

Send us Fan Mail You can build the vision board. You can say the affirmations. You can take every "right" action. But if some part of you still doesn't believe you're worthy of the life you're calling in, you'll either block it from landing — or sabotage it the moment it does. That's the conversation I got to have with Linda Brand, certified empowerment coach and host of the top-ranked Worthy and Abundant podcast, and it cracked something open in me too. We talked about shame, self-worth, nervous system safety, and what it actually looks like to come back to yourself after years of proving your worth to everyone but you.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever caught yourself telling the same story about your day, your relationships, or your life... over and over again, without realizing you were the one keeping it on repeat? In this episode, I sit down with board-certified hypnotist Penny Chiasson, and honestly, this conversation cracked something open for me. Penny spent years as a nurse anesthetist before discovering hypnosis and never looked back — and what she shares here will completely change the way you think about your subconscious mind, your patterns, and how much power you actually have to shift them. This isn't about stage tricks or mind control. It's about understanding why your brain does what it does, and how to gently, consciously reprogram it toward the life you actually want. What you'll hear in this episode: What hypnosis actually is (spoiler: it's not what you think) and why it's simply a state of focused attention you already enter dailyThe real science behind the reticular activating system and how it filters what you experience — and how to use it on purposeWhy "trauma" isn't the only explanation for the patterns that keep tripping you up — sometimes it's just a pattern of avoided feelingsHow mismatched love languages (yours, your parents', even your kids') shape lifelong beliefs about whether you're "enough"Penny's Identity Matrix method for working from identity first, instead of chasing outcomesWhy forgiveness — for others and for yourself — is described as the holy grail of internal peace, and how it actually worksHow the music, conversations, and stories you consume daily are quietly programming your subconscious mindMentioned in this episode: Penny Chiasson — board-certified hypnotist, bestselling author of Breaking the Fibro Code, and founder of Elite Hypno ProFind Penny on Instagram @penny.chiasson, Facebook at Penny Chiasson and at www.PennyChiasson.comPenny's podcast: The Soul Fusion PodcastThe Five Love Languages (referenced concept)If you've ever felt like you "know better" but keep doing the same thing anyway, this episode will help you understand why — and more importantly, that it can change.

Send us Fan Mail Ready to transform you life? Apply here for 1:1 coaching. What happens in your body when you call in spiritual support? In this episode of Aligned & Abundant, we’re bringing spirituality and nervous system regulation together to explore why practices like calling on Archangel Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, or Ariel can feel so grounding — and what may be happening physiologically when your body begins to settle. I break down the autonomic nervous system, the difference between your sympathetic “accelerator” and parasympathetic “brake,” and Stephen Porges’ polyvagal theory of safety, fight-or-flight, and shutdown. We also explore neuroception — the way your nervous system is constantly scanning for cues of safety or danger before your conscious mind even realizes it — and why your breath can become one of the most powerful tools for changing the signal your body is receiving. You’ll learn why a slow exhale helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system and how pairing intentional breathing with a spiritual practice can create multiple cues of safety at once. I also share a season of my own life when I felt constantly on edge without fully understanding why, and how repeatedly calling on Archangel Michael became part of rebuilding a sense of trust and safety within myself. Inside the episode, we explore: • The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems • Polyvagal theory and the three nervous system states • Neuroception and your body’s unconscious safety radar • The vagus nerve and the power of the slow exhale • Neuroplasticity and why repetition matters • A simple three-breath practice you can use with any archangel • Archangel Michael for protection and safety • Archangel Raphael for healing • Archangel Gabriel for communication and expression • Archangel Ariel for grounding and stability This episode is especially for you if you understand your spiritual practices intellectually, but sometimes feel like your body hasn’t caught up yet. You may know the tools. You may know what you “should” be doing. You may even look completely fine on the outside — but internally, you still feel stuck, unsettled, hesitant, or like there’s a deeper shift you haven’t been able to make on your own. If that resonates, I’m currently opening five spaces for a private 90-day 1:1 coaching experience. Over 12 private sessions, we’ll work together on what is actually keeping you stuck — the patterns, decisions, fears, self-trust, clarity, and next-level version of you that you know is there. There’s no cohort, no preset curriculum, and no one-size-fits-all path. The experience is completely personalized to you and what you’re ready to move through and create. If you know there is more for you and you’re ready to actually move instead of continuing to think about moving, fill out my private coaching interest form here: 👉  Apply here for 1:1 coaching.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever set a goal you truly wanted, felt the momentum building, and then somehow found yourself reorganizing a junk drawer instead of finishing it? On this episode of Aligned & Abundant, I sat down with Theresa Lear Levine, founder of Becoming More Me, bestselling author, EFT master practitioner, hypnotherapist, and subconscious transformation expert, to talk about what's really happening underneath self-sabotage, and it has almost nothing to do with willpower. Theresa helps ambitious entrepreneurs, especially those navigating ADHD and anxiety, rewire the subconscious patterns and nervous system responses that keep them stuck, and this conversation is packed with the kind of nervous system healing and emotional alignment tools that make lasting change actually feel possible. We talk about how EFT tapping creates a scientifically backed shift in the body in real time, and why understanding it intellectually is nothing like experiencing it for yourself. Theresa walks us through how hypnotherapy became her gateway into the subconscious, that deep, ocean-like layer beneath our everyday awareness where our earliest programming and limiting beliefs actually live, and why trying to change behavior from a purely conscious, logical place so often falls flat. We get into why your nervous system has a familiar set point it works hard to protect, and how that shows up as sudden exhaustion, distraction, or an urgent need to clean the house right when you're closest to finishing something that matters. Theresa also opens up about her own path to an ADHD diagnosis later in life, what task initiation and the research rabbit hole actually feel like from the inside, and why multitasking is really just costly task switching in disguise. She shares the story behind writing her book from a place of ease and feminine energy instead of forcing it on a rigid schedule, and introduces her seven minute daily practice, Finish What You Start, designed to help your nervous system feel safe enough to actually follow through, without needing a complicated system or more willpower. This one is for anyone who has ever wondered why they can know exactly what to do and still not do it. Theresa reminds us that our patterns developed for a reason, that they once kept us safe, and that real transformation happens when we stop fighting ourselves and start helping our subconscious feel safe to change instead. You can find Theresa Lear Levine on Instagram, in her Skool community, and through her book, Becoming More Me: Tapping Into Success: Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom, all linked below. If this conversation stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it a little longer. Come back to yourself, get curious about the patterns that have been running the show, and remember that you don't need to be ready to start, you just need to start. Connect with Theresa: THE PRIVATE SESSIONS: This resource has tons of video tapping sessions so that you can try EFT tapping yourself and experience an actual shift from the modality and Theresa's coaching.
