Join me in Bali - Soul Rising May 2027. ⁠⁠Secure your spot⁠⁠Take the free Soul Identity Discovery: ⁠⁠Access here⁠ Trying harder isn't getting you to your next level. Meet the version of you who doesn't have to try, and the desire that keeps coming back. In a morning meditation, Amy was shown two versions of herself: the trying self, who is frantically making things happen from the known paradigm, and the remembered self, who knows she's part of the source she's been seeking. This channeled, cup-of-tea episode explores which one is leading your life right now, and why you can't solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE - Why trying harder keeps you circling in the same paradigm - Why "I don't know how" is the conditioned identity talking, and why the how is none of her business - The desire that keeps boomeranging back to you (it's not wishful thinking) - How to demote the old boss and bring the remembered self forward - Why fear will always show up at the edge, and how to move anyway - Why "delusion" is really just getting out of the illusion 💬 YOUR TURN Which self is leading your life this week: the trying self or the remembered self? Tell me in the comments. I read every one. 🔥 JOIN THE SHIFT 4 weeks of live identity and embodiment coaching, starting Friday 2 October (AEST).

Join me in Bali - Soul Rising May 2027. ⁠Secure your spot⁠Take the free Soul Identity Discovery: ⁠Access here What if you’re not here to learn who you are, but to remember? In this episode, I’m joined by the beautiful Dr Gregory Dunn-Smith, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Metaphysics Specialist who I first met in yoga teacher training more than 20 years ago. Greg describes “spiritual amnesia” as the forgetting that happens when we arrive in this human experience. We explore his perspective that your soul already holds the knowing, and that the journey is about remembering how to connect with it. This conversation is full of depth, laughter and those moments of recognition that bring you back to yourself. We talk about soul contracts, spiritual awakening, what the body may be communicating, and how to keep choosing your soul when fear and familiarity want to lead. We also explore that sometimes lonely space where you’re outgrowing an old identity, but your relationships and surroundings haven’t quite caught up. If you’ve been feeling that, there is so much here for you. In this episode, we explore: Spiritual amnesia, soul contracts and the experience of remembering.

Join me in Bali - Soul Rising May 2027. ⁠⁠Secure your spot⁠⁠Take the free Soul Identity Discovery: ⁠⁠Access here⁠ Everyone in the manifestation space says you need to be delusional. What if the real delusion is believing that what you can currently see is all that’s possible? In this episode, Amy takes the word “delusional” out of its clinical context and looks at it philosophically. The invitation isn’t to become less delusional. It’s to become less convinced by the illusion, so you can de-illusion and choose again from soul certainty instead of waiting for proof. Amy shares how the biggest manifestations in her own life came from decisions made before the evidence was there, and why the proof always arrives after the leap. In this episode: Why your choice precedes the proof, and why the net appears after you jump The illusion that your safety lives “out there” in money, jobs, possessions, or health Soul certainty: knowing who you are without knowing how it will unfold Why your inner knowing counts as evidence How familiar thoughts and patterns keep you stuck in Groundhog Day De-illusion: separating from the 3D narrative so you can choose what to energize
