Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this conversation has been living in my heart all summer — and I knew I needed to bring an expert in to help me have it properly. Today I'm sitting down with my friend Laura Butts, therapist and founder of Greenhouse Psychotherapy, whose specialty is narcissistic abuse and pathological love relationships. This is a powerful one. 🤍 In This Episode

Short, sweet, and exactly what you needed to hear today.Julie is on her way to the airport — chipped tooth, half-curled hair, barking dog and all — and her angels told her to pull over and record this for you. Because the message is too good to wait. If you’ve ever thought you had to have it all together before you could really connect with God and your angels, this one gently clears that up. The truth is, it’s actually your imperfection — the messy mornings, the frustration, the moments you’re not proud of — that cracks you open and allows the divine to come in. Trying to be perfect closes everything off. Accepting that you’re human opens everything up.

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, I have been waiting to share this conversation — and Cari Fund is someone I want every woman in my world to know.

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this message came through in reading after reading this week — and when the angels are that persistent, everybody needs to hear it. The thing you keep batting away because it feels too small? That's it. That's the seed. 🤍

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this conversation opened something up in me — and I think it's going to do the same for you. Alicia Doss is the author of Your Angelic Ancestry — think Ancestry.com but for the angelic realm — and what she teaches is unlike anything I have heard before. This isn't about connecting to angels outside of you. It's about remembering the celestial heritage that is already within you. 🤍
