In this episode, I define five essential keys and principles you must follow to grow a successful spiritual business. Focusing on these five keys can help you simplify your daily tasks, reduce overwhelm, and diagnose and solve any issues that your business is facing (such as not getting enough clients, not getting enough of the *right* clients, feeling insecure about your offerings, etc, etc). To work with me one-on-one, you can start by booking a free Business Consultation for Spiritual Entrepreneurs. I'd love to help you get clear and get visible so you can get clients... consistently.

Megan Ryan Walsh is an artist, astrologer, and writer living in the beautiful mountains of northern California. Her healing path has led her to deepen her connection to the living world as she strives to share a sense of forgotten wholeness in the many facets of her work. Using the language of astrology as one of her tools, Megan is committed to helping others gain profound self-knowledge and a greater understanding of the world around them and their place within it.  In this interview, we talk about the practical, day-to-day uses of astrology and break down the myth that astrology is overly complex and that we need to study for years before we can actually make use of it.

I'm sure you're familiar with the voice of fear within you (we all have it). This is the voice that tells you you're not good enough, things will never work out for you, you'll never make enough money, you're stupid, it's not worth trying anything new, etc, etc. (Such a tyrant!) But do you also recognize within yourself the voice of Divine Genius? This voice is also referred to as the voice of Higher Self, the voice of your soul, your inner knowing, your inner Goddess. In this episode, I talk about the INNER CONFLICT that's created when the voice of Divine Genius and the voice of fear within you are locked in a struggle. I also offer advice on how to turn up the volume on your voice of Divine Genius so you can move beyond old patterns, release your fear, and go for the things you actually want.

Dear listeners, welcome to the very first episode of 2020! A new year brings with it new possibilities, as well as the invitation (or challenge) to let go of old stories about yourself and create a new reality where you fully embody your true essence and core self. That's what this episode is about: how to no longer live to meet others' expectations or to make other people happy at the expense of your own needs, dreams, and desires. This new year, I wish you the courage to be yourself - even if that means disappointing someone along the way! During the episode, I mentioned Tara Mohr's wonderful book, Playing Big. To connect with me, you can join my Powerfully Sensitive Program (we begin on Feb 1st!) or explore my one-on-one services. Thank you so much for listening, and please keep doing your inner work. Happy new year!   Audio editing & music production by G. Demers Inner Work | Purefield Radio 2020 All Rights Reserved.

There's always a gap between your desire and the manifested outcome of that desire -- we may call this the "mystery" between manifestations. As humans, we often find it challenging to reside in this mystery, which is why we give up on our deepest desires before they've had a chance to manifest. In this episode, we dive right into the mystery and I offer some strategies to become more comfortable with it. Ultimately, being comfortable with the mystery will allow you to call in what you want faster and with less resistance than ever before.

As humans, it's almost impossible for us not to feel emotions like anger, fear, resentment, frustration, and disappointment in certain situations. These are low frequency emotions because they emit and attract lower vibrations than emotions like love, excitement, and joy. In this episode, I talk about how you can deal with low frequency emotions when you feel them, particularly in relationships. I also discuss the concept of the emotional pain-body, how this pain-body becomes activated, and how you can work towards making your own pain-body less reactive.   Thank you so much for listening, and keep doing your inner work!   To connect with me: - visit Purefield - follow me on Instagram - book a discovery call   Music & audio editing by Garrett Demers.

Inspired by recent events in my own life, this episode addresses the topic of how to deal with negative feedback or criticism. It doesn't matter whether the criticism comes from a family member, friend, co-worker, boss, or client -- we'll explore a number of strategies to help you respond (or not respond!) to negative feedback in the best possible way, without losing your integrity or peace of mind.

In our modern world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to take time to rest, slow down, do one thing at a time, and connect to something bigger and more expansive than ourselves. In this episode, I explore how you can reclaim your ability to slow down to find the deeper meaning in your life. We'll talk about the importance of finding and following your own natural rhythm, rather than being carried by the frantic pace of dominant culture. I discuss Abby Seixas' work and book, Finding the Deep River, in this episode. Thank you for listening!   Purefield Radio | Inner Work 2019 All Rights Reserved.

In Clarissa Pinkola Estes' classic book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, "wild woman" is an inner source of power and strength for all women. She is wise, courageous, nurturing, and connected to the cycles of nature and the moon. Wild woman can help us set healthy boundaries, say "no" and say "yes" from an authentic place, protect our space and energy, and align with our deepest longings and desires. In this guided meditation, you will journey to meet and connect with your inner wild woman in her forest cottage. You will ask her three questions and receive clear guidance to help you take your next steps or make an important decision in your life. Enjoy the journey!

Robert Augustus Masters defines the term "spiritual bypassing" as a collection of behaviors and beliefs through which we use spirituality to avoid life. Some of these behaviors include anger-phobia, boundaries that are too strict or too porous, emotional numbing, and over-detachment from life. When we engage in spiritual bypassing, we trick ourselves into believing that we're healing and working through deep issues, but we're actually only staying on the surface of what's really going. In this episode, I invite you to explore the key behaviors of spiritual bypassing so you can move beyond them into deeper, more transformative, and long-lasting healing. Masters' book can be found here: Spiritual Bypassing. Thank you so much for listening, and keep doing your inner work!   Purefield Radio | Inner Work 2019 All Rights Reserved.

In this episode, I explore how you can move from a state of chaos (in your health, finances, relationships, career, or any other idea) to a state of greater stability, both internally and externally. I discuss what external chaos might represent in your life and how we sometimes use chaos to distract ourselves from fulfilling our divine missions. I also offer a few suggestions for cultivating a greater sense of stability and groundedness in your life. Robert Augustus Masters' book, which I mention in this episode, is called Spiritual Bypassing: When Spirituality Disconnects Us From What Really Matters.

This episode is my interview with speaker, author, and writer Karly Randolph-Pitman on the concept of the inner rebel. The inner rebel is that voice or energy that pops up from within you when you try to make a change, take a risk, or work on healing yourself in a deep way. The inner rebel might sabotage your efforts, derail your progress, or get in your way when you try to improve yourself or your life. Learn how to work with - rather than against - this inner rebel, which is ultimately an important and valuable part of yourself. To learn more about Karly's work or sign up for her courses, you can visit her website: www.growinghumankindness.com Karly mentioned this book during the interview: Finding the Deep River Within by Abby Seixas   Purefield Radio/Inner Work 2019 All Rights Reserved.  

In this episode, I explore how working with law of attraction material can sometimes evoke feelings of self-blame, guilt, and shame in us, leading us to question, "How could I create this reality for myself?" I discuss some of the limitations of law of attraction theory and how to best use this approach *without* beating yourself up or victimizing yourself. Thank you for listening!
