  Speaker 1: Hey there, welcome to empower your soul podcast.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, nicole Pope, and I am actually pretty terrified to be here today Because my guides, in true form, just asked me essentially to hit record to record this podcast.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And the reason is to be honest with all of you is that I have been sitting on the idea of this podcast probably for about four months now.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm a little terrified to put myself out there.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So I am, fortunately, in my third episode and I'm already not empowering my own soul.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So the irony is real.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I checked when I recorded the first two episodes and it was May and it is now August 29th.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Um, so apparently it's time to get my ass in gear and my guides are sick of me dragging my feet.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So they asked me to essentially come on and just hit record for this podcast today and told me to grab a deck of cards and we're just gonna going to roll with it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But before we pull some cards, I think it's really important to talk about how I am freaking hesitating putting this podcast out there and what's going through my mind, because it's it's a lot, it's a lot.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It's a struggle for me to put my voice out into the ether of God knows where the who's listening to this.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Not that you're a bad person, but I don't know.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's listening to this.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Could be my mom, could be my aunt right, could be my friends, could be my coworkers, and the idea of that kind of terrifies me a little bit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure all of them have lovely things to say because, well you know, they'll save face for me, which I appreciate.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But it is a little terrifying to figure out what do I want to talk about and what do I want to.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: How do I want to approach this podcast?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: What are the topics that I'm most in need of recording so that you can get the most value out of it?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And as I'm talking, my guides are reminding me that I won't know what you need until I put the podcast out there and identify what is driving the most number of listeners and also what questions I'm getting in the door.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So I guess number one thing I want to start with today is because I am not empowering my soul and because I'm hesitating and slacking with topics to talk about.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: If you have a specific topic you want me to talk about, please send me an email.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's podcast at mediumnicolecom.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy to talk business, standing up a business.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to talk about mediumship, troubleshooting, spirit guides, akashic records, tarot, oracle, all the divination tools, um, we can talk about auras, we can talk about chakras, we can talk about reiki, we can talk about iet, which another, which is another healing modality that I've done.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So if you are interested on in any of those topics or you want me to do a deep dive on any of those, please reach out, please let me know.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to start just hitting record and providing value for all of you, to educate, to encourage, to inform that this amazing spiritual journey for me and for all of you is that it's a journey.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's ever evolving, it's ever changing and it's something that's absolutely wonderful and thrilling and frustrating and I'm sure all of you feel the same way I do that it's never moving fast enough, that I always feel like I'm stagnant and standing in place and not moving forward the way that I want to.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But really, you know, that's part of the journey too.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So with that, my guides are now pointing to my cards.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So bear with me with the sound of shuffling and I'm going to see what pops out, and I do this a lot in my spirit led social media posts where I will either pull a card I'll just ask my team to come in and channel a message for me and I actually feel someone coming in and taking over to channel a message.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And as soon as, oh, there we go.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I got two cards that popped out.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Mind you, I know tar of cups and I'm laughing because the eight of cups looks like, um, this is the deck I'm using is the UC UUSI pagan underworlds tarot.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's a very classic looking one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Um, and this eight of cups, it's not traditional, uh, rider weight tarot pictures.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So the eight of cups is essentially this very nonchalant looking moon that's kind of like sick of my bullshit.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's the face this moon has on.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'll hold it up, uh, for anyone that's kind of looking or watching this on the video on youtube.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But, uh, it's the perfect card for me right now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And then the seven of pentacles is just like a cute little hillside with some haystacks and some trees, and the seven pentacles are kind of in the air.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So nothing to script there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But they want to start with the eight of cups right now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So let me bring in my guides and channel whatever message needs to come out for this card today, for me and the collective of whoever is listening to it, and the card and the energy I'm getting, I think, is perfect and I think I already went there.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But what are you waiting for?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Is the energy that I'm feeling from this card, which might be, again, very different from the official definition of the eight of cups, but the energy I'm getting from my guides and the information I'm channeling from my guides is that the time is right for progress and change, and a lot of you have been on the precipice for this change for a very long time like a very long time and you've planned and you've tracked things and you have everything in a row, you have the right knowledge, you have the right tools, you have the right skill sets.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: However, you're still dragging your feet, afraid of the abyss of what's to come, and you're more so afraid of what you don't know or what you think might not happen in alignment to your expectations.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: So the lesson with this card is to take a leap.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Take a leap of faith, know that the universe has your back, know that the universe trusts you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But I want to break that down because, because, as my guides say, that kind of threw me.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I want to call BS on that, because I am personally the kind of person that I'm always worried about the rug being pulled out from under me every single time, terrified Because it's just time and time again.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I've only proven that I can be successful in things when I work hard at it and I accomplish those goals as a result of my hard work.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So the fact, so it's very hard for me as a soul to believe that the universe, god, whatever you, your guides, whatever you want to call it, the angels, they have my back and that things are just going to happen in alignment with what I want to happen.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But, as I'm kind of, this is going to be, I guess, a very interesting podcast to listen to because they go back and forth in my head.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm challenging them, saying bullshit and they're coming back and they're identifying.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Remember all the different miracles that you've had in your life leading up to this point.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Think about all of the amazing things that have happened that have gotten you to this exact moment, in this exact time.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So everyone that is sitting here listening to this podcast right now, watching this podcast on YouTube, everything that you have been through, good or bad, has gotten you to this current moment.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That is asking, and the universe is actively here, asking you to empower your soul and trust that we have your back and that things are going to change.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You just need to let go, release, surrender and it will come.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So this is a challenge for me, for all of you, that you need to let go, you need to let loose, you need to just let things happen and watch the magic start.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Watch the magic start and with that, I see spirit mic dropping.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to pause for one second and ask them one more time if there's anything else that they'd like to cover.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So bear with me one second.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And they're saying I know that you think this time is not right.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You think that things aren't aligned the way they are, things maybe aren't as prepared the way as the way you think you are, and it's more about undoing old patterns, old expectations, because a lot of us, where we've come from, have a certain expectation and definition of success and, for example, for me that looks like I need to know what my plans are six to 12 months out, because I work in project management, right, so I know exactly what I'm working on for the next six to nine months.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So when I don't know if I have a steady income stream for the next six, nine months, I freak out.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be totally honest with you I freak out.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: If I don't have clients already booked months out, I freak out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So it's really all about going with the flow, more being stop being such a type A masculine energy, domineering, however you want to put it energy that's authoritative and wanting things your way or no way.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's more about being open to it, because without changing that energy, nothing will change.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So not only do you have to surrender to it, but you have to actually undo the toxic behaviors that you have embedded in your lifestyle and your behaviors so that you can essentially learn a new way of being and a new way of doing that is so much lighter and brighter than the life that you had before.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So again, as I challenge them with the BS, they say trust, let go, things are going to happen the way that they're going to happen.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And actually, when you undo toxic circumstances and toxic behaviors, that's when the real magic happens, because that's when you allow space for expansion from the universe in the fullest alignment, excuse me, in the fullest and most aligned version of you Next card, they say in my head.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So with this card they want to talk about what alignment means, because we just mentioned it, right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And they want to talk about what alignment means because we just mentioned it, right.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And they want to talk about what alignment means and what's the potential in starting to move forward.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just laughing because I've had this conversation with them seven times.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But apparently, oh, I said seven, the card is number seven.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I've had this conversation with them seven times.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And here we go again, but hopefully this message will finally get through my giant thick skull.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: So when you are surrendering and when you are allowing the universe to guide you and direct you in the way that is best aligned for you, your energy and your soul, you allow alignment to come into your life.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And when the universe, or when my guides say alignment, what they mean is aligned body, mind, soul, financial.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So it means that you are in positive, high vibration thought patterns.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It means that you are taking care in feeding your body in the right way.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It means that your relationships are coming from unconditional love and are with your best and highest intent in them.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You are not judging others.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You are allowing others to be and working through their own struggles, emotions, patterns, and holding space for them while they do so.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So this is all about being a neutral party.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't like that word, can I?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask, ask if they can help me with a different thought, different way to say that, because that didn't resonate with me.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's allowing yourself to be aligned to your highest and best opportunity, your best self.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to say your highest self, because I think it's your best self, what's your happiest self, what's your most ideal self?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And allowing others the journey to find their highest and best selves, their happiest selves, and giving them space to figure that out on their own without figuring it out for them, because no one can reach their highest and best if someone else is doing it for them, reach their highest and best if someone else is doing it for them.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So that's what alignment is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Alignment is knowing who you are inside and out and accepting others for who they are in, inside and out.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: And when you come into alignment with yourself in that way, you are naturally in a very high vibrational state and, as a result, everything that you want comes to you.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Apologies if you can hear the woodpecker um, that's literally eating through my wall.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's distracting me, to be honest with you, but we'll just roll with it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: You but we'll just roll with it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So all this to say across these two cards of get your shit together, time to go and come into alignment with yourself and you will reap the rewards.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Like those are the two cards that essentially I've pulled together is that what are you waiting for?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Move forward.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: There's bigger and brighter things than you've ever imagined.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So the time is now to go.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you and challenge you to say what are you holding back?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Where do you want to go?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Where are you holding back from?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You know, this might be a really good journal exercise.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: If you're somebody that really enjoys doing automatic writing or talking to your guides or meditating, this might be a really good opportunity is walking into that exercise and asking what am I holding my?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: How am I holding myself back?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: What is the potential if I release and move forward?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: What's the potential if I surrender, and what does abundance look like to me if I do this?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Now, the key is that we can all rationalize the shit out of what we get right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's why this whole spiritual thing is so hard is because in every aspect of it in like tarot cards and mediumship and Akashic records like you can reason the shit out of everything right.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You can literally.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I can give you an amazing mediumship reading with 30 pieces of very specific evidence, and I will always always have a client that says that's not good enough or that's that's a podcast for another day.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But you can always rationalize your way out of things because the brain is such an important and powerful tool.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: That's why we're here right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's those are.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: That's how we function.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So when you're doing this automatic writing, I don't want you to rationalize it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I want you to see it for what it is.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Own the words, the phrases, the feelings, the visions that you are receiving and go with it and try and trust it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's the difference is that you want to make sure that you are trusting what you're getting and if you're getting guidance, if you're getting direction, take a step forward, take a step towards that, see what the outcome is, because that is the path to trusting the information that you get from spirit or automatic writing or your higher self is by leaning in, receiving the message and trusting that it's the right step and moving forward with it and and being open to whatever outcomes come.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So there we go.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's my challenge.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do the same, so I'm also not off the hook.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: This is is not just homework for you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I will also do the same, but I do want to just challenge all of you Again.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: If you are dragging your feet, move forward, start moving, see what comes.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I want you all to be empowered in the amazingness of your journey.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I want you all to be aligned to your highest and best self, and I want you all to know that you are born of unlimited potential and there's nothing that you can't do.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: So now's the time to start moving, start planning, start taking the leap, and I can't wait to see the amazing things that you do.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's all for today.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'd say that was a pretty good spirit-led podcast, if I must say so myself.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Again, hit me up podcast at medium, at medium Nicolecom, for any ideas, questions, concerns, if you want to give me feedback on this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: That would be great.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Take care everybody.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Have a good one.
