Girl Awakening with Michelle Vrkic - Lead by Spirit

There's Awakenings happening within the Awakenings! What happens when awakening stops being about seeking answers — and becomes an invitation to surrender? In this powerful conversation, Girl Awakening sits with internationally recognised author and spiritual teacher Lorie Ladd to explore Jesus, consciousness, spiritual evolution, discernment, identity, healing and the invisible programming that can shape our lives. Lorie Ladd is an international best selling author, spiritual teacher and thought leader whose work explores the evolution of human consciousness and remembrance of who we truly are. She is the author of The Divine Design, which explores humanity's spiritual evolution and the awakening of consciousness. Through her teachings, Lorie has supported millions of people around the world in navigating personal and collective transformation, reconnecting with their sovereignty and remembering the divine nature within the human experience. More recently, Lorie's work has moved deeply into her relationship with God and Jesus , exploring Jesus beyond traditional religious frameworks, and sharing what she describes as received or channelled teachings about divine light, truth and our connection with God. At the heart of Lorie's work is a simple invitation: to remember who we are, why we are here, and what becomes possible when we begin living from that remembrance. Lorie shares the evolution of her own spiritual path, including her deepening relationship with Jesus and the profound shift that occurred when she began to surrender control. We explore what it means to encounter Jesus beyond traditional religious frameworks, how to discern spiritual guidance in an increasingly noisy world, the relationship between social media and identity, and the uncomfortable question of whether we're actually willing to let go of the patterns and beliefs we've spent our lives protecting. In this most beautiful and liminal space - time sitting with Lorie truly was like the transition between day and night, we entered the conversation in one state and finished the conversation in another...we asked this question of her. "Lorie, is awakening isn't about becoming something new, but remembering who we already are, what have you remembered?"

What is your anxiety is trying to tell you?! What if anxiety isn't something that has gone wrong with you - what if it's a message?

What If You're Not Creating Reality… But Projecting It? Allura Halliwell returns to Girl Awakening for Part 2 — and this time, we're going deeper into the experience of consciousness itself. Following Part 1 and the story of Allura's extraordinary awakening, this conversation responds to listener questions and explores a fascinating proposition: What if we aren't actually creating reality, but projecting it through the unconscious patterns and nervous-system imprints we carry? Allura explores consciousness as the foundation of our experience and takes Girl into the relationship between fear, pain, the body and the patterns that can unconsciously shape the way we experience our lives. Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, Allura invites us to develop our capacity to hold them — to stretch the nervous system and allow the body to reveal what may be underneath the fear.

The Other Side of Awakening with Allura Halliwell What happens after the awakening? In this profound and deeply personal conversation, Girl is joined by Allura Halliwell, consciousness mentor and transformational guide, to explore the extraordinary experience that changed the course of her life. Allura shares her spontaneous Kundalini awakening in 2018 — an experience she describes as consciousness leaving the physical body, merging with an infinite field and encountering a profound experience of wholeness, unconditional love and the void. But the experience itself was only the beginning. Returning to everyday life brought an unexpected period of chaos, relationship breakdown, disconnection from her former identity and years of integrating an experience that had completely altered her understanding of reality. Together, Girl Awakening and Allura explore what it means to move through that threshold — from spiritual experience into embodied transformation. Exploration of the deep human wounds that can sit beneath our search for love and security, the fear of pain, the illusion of separation, energetic sovereignty, co-dependence and the possibility of using our most difficult experiences as portals for deeper connection with ourselves. Allura offers a powerful perspective on healing: rather than trying to cut painful experiences away, can we bring them back into ourselves and make them safe to feel? What happens when we stop searching externally for the love, safety and validation we have been longing for? This is a conversation about awakening, integration, self-honouring and becoming sovereign in your own energy — without pretending that transformation is always comfortable or linear. An expansive, intimate and at times deeply confronting conversation - YES ! - about what it really means to awaken… and then learn how to live from that place. We invite you to listen deeply. Take what resonates. And allow the rest to simply open a question within you.
