Self-attack is something many of us have often done to ourselves.

We live in a world that programs and conditions us to attack ourselves in many different ways; to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism... diminishing who we are and our inherent value.

Living in this kind of state is draining, exhausting, and it keeps you separate from your Higher, Divine Self.

Join me for a discussion of:

• common ways in which self-attack can manifest in everyday life 
• how self-attack can show up in your spiritual practices and spiritual path
• the damaging and Soul-draining effects of self-attack
• how can you begin letting go of self-attack and shift into self-empathy?
• what is self-empathy and how can you apply it in daily life?
• how self-empathy requires you to show up for yourself in deeper, more authentic ways
• the healing effects of self-empathy on your self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love

This episode of INNER WORK will support you in upleveling and refining your Akashic Record readings, as a practitioner.

Join me for a discussion of:

• key differences between "information dump" readings and genuinely transformative, co-creative Akashic Record readings
• why "information dump" readings can overwhelm or paralyze clients (in addition to making our work as healers/readers unnecessarily draining!)
• raising the standards for how we do spiritual work and show up for our clients
• how to support your clients (and yourself) in creating lasting breakthroughs, insights, and healing through the Akashic Records
• the importance of evolving your readings from a purely cognitive level of insight into other levels of healing and transformation
• the multiple layers of listening we must harness to be highly effective Akashic Record practitioners

In this bonus episode of INNER WORK, I offer you a guided meditation to cultivate your inner presence and inner divinity.

This meditation will help you:

• neutrally observe and dis-identify from your body, mind, and emotions
• get into "right relationship" with your physical body, mind, and emotions - knowing your true self is larger, wiser, and much more permanent than any of these
• develop a deeper, embodied sense of your inner divinity and inner I AM Presence (which supports you in feeling more divinely connected)

As a tool for accessing Divine Guidance, quantum healing, and rapid transformation, the Akashic Records can help you become fully aligned with your true purpose - and live that purpose every day.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I tell my personal story of leaving a successful career in academia to do spiritual work full-time... and the KEY role that the Akashic Records played in making that transition. (I couldn't have done it without them!)

Join me for a discussion of:

• how I started recognizing that my successful, years-long career in academia wasn't fully aligned with me
• the messages I received from my Higher Self (and from the Akashic Records) along the way
• how the Akashic Records helped me release an old identity and step into a more authentic, aligned, and fulfilled version of myself
• how the Akashic Records helped me build a sustainable, 6-figure spiritual business
• the importance of trusting and following the Divine Guidance and "sacred nudges" we receive on our life path

• perfectionism
• "good girl" or "good boy" syndrome, a.k.a. people-pleasing
• rigidity
• excessive skepticism, a.k.a. needing to see before you will believe
• attachment to rational/linear thinking
• defensiveness

We'll also talk about some antidotes and ways to begin softening these traits, so they won't rule your life anymore.

This episode is about how to shift your perspective, mindset, and energy when something unwanted or challenging shows up in your life.

As humans, we're naturally wired and inclined to see the NEGATIVE when something challenging, unexpected, or irritating shows up in our life experience. 

We might also immediately want this unexpected or challenging thing (or person, situation, etc) to GO AWAY - which is a completely normal human reaction. But that resistance, of course, typically makes things worse.

Join me for a discussion of:

• the primitive brain's negativity bias, and how we're wired to see the negative (or to look for problems)
• the importance of remembering the level and degree of choice we have EVEN WHEN something challenging happens
• pausing consciously so you can explore what's actually showing up in your life (and why)
• a sequence of reflection questions to shift out of resistance and into expansion
• shifting from a place of victimhood ("WHY is this happening to me???") to a place of empowered curiosity ("what choices can I make here, and what's RIGHT about this situation?")

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 4, is to explore these questions: How do you behave, think, and feel when you are around your family of origin? Do you tend to slip, unconsciously, into any habits or patterns of hiding your true self around them? (additional prompts in the episode itself.)

Your task for today, DAY 3, is to mine the past and explore the situations, experiences, or time period in your life that led you to develop the belief "it is too scary, risky, or dangerous to be my authentic self." How old is the part of you that still carries this belief, and what did that part experience?

This episode of AWAKENING is an exploration of physical death, which we will all experience as humans at one point or another. What happens to the body when we die, and what happens to the Soul or consciousness? How can we understand this process of death from a spiritual perspective? We will also explore what it means when someone we love dies, and how we might cope with such an experience.

Throughout the episode, I mention this book: The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, published by Sounds True in June 2023 - https://www.soundstrue.com/products/the-tibetan-book-of-the-dead-for-beginners

Have you ever felt or identified as an outsider, outcast, black sheep, alien, or non-comformist? Do you have any wounds related to being rejected, excluded, left out, or feeling unwelcome or like you just don't belong? This episode is for you.

We'll dive deeply into the outsider archetype:

• how can we define this archetype?
• what does it mean to be an outsider?
• outsider examples from literature and pop culture
• my personal anecdote of feeling like (and being) an outsider
• the potential wounds you might be carrying (such as the wound of rejection or the wound of exclusion)
• fully activating the gifts and powers that come with being an outsider

The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

• self-doubt
• attachment to outcomes
• attachment to timelines
• avoidance / spiritual bypassing
• fear of disappointment
• perfectionism
• fear of letting go of control
• ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

This episode of AWAKENING takes you through an exploration of your core values. What are the values that really matter to you, that make life most meaningful for you, and that you want to uphold in everything you do and how you live your life?

We'll talk about how to uncover your core values and how to identify when you're straying away from those values - based on how you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I also read some thoughtful words from one of my students, Richard, who generously agreed to share his core values with us. I hope you will draw inspiration from these words and create your own creative statement of values.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I talk about the experience of falling out of alignment with something you've manifested - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, a place to live, or something else.

It can be disheartening to no longer be fulfilled by something you wanted to manifest for a long time, or for it not to feel as you expected it to. How can you course correct and pivot into another, different manifestation if this happens? Let's explore that together.

I'll give you a set of prompts to reflect on which part of you desired this manifestation in the first place, and what your Higher Self might be calling you towards now.

I also share a new technique to connect to your Akashic Records - in case you want to use the Records to explore the prompts.

Have you been unconsciously giving your power away to family? Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, hiding who you really are in front of family, forcing yourself to interact with relatives, or even feeling responsible for a family member who should be taking care of themselves?

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be giving your power away to family - and how to start taking that power back. I walk you through:

• some common disempowering patterns and behaviors related to family, so you can begin identifying these in your own life
• a 5-step process to start taking your power back from family by setting healthier boundaries
• examples of specific boundaries you might need to set (and how to word them)

This episode is a continuation of previous ep. 147: Navigating the Complexities of Family in the Human Dimension - https://josephinehardman.com/inner-work-147-navigating-the-complexities-of-family-in-the-human-dimension/

This episode is a response to a listener email asking: "am I still healing and growing spiritually even during periods of stasis, where nothing much seems to be happening?"

We'll explore what stasis could mean in the context of spiritual healing and growth, and how you can make the most of any periods of relative calm or quiet in your life.

Some of the main takeaways from this episode include:

• why it's impossible to go back to sleep once you have awakened - even though we often try to
• although stasis can mean stagnation, it can also mean equilibrium - so a period of stasis could be a period of arriving into greater balance within yourself
• why things are still shifting even when you can't perceive the changes yet
• letting go of the attachment to growing through pain or suffering

Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?

In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.

I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:

Embracing Your Inner Critic

The Self-Acceptance Project

In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

In this special episode, I introduce you to the Akashic Records - what they are, how they work, and how we can use them to heal ourselves and transcend ego patterns.

I was first introduced to the Akashic Records as a teenager by my mom (a therapist and healer), and have been working with them on a daily basis for most of my adult life. I became certified as an Akashic Records Practitioner and started giving readings to others in 2012, and have since developed a unique curriculum for my own Akashic Records Certification Program.

In my time using the Records - both for my personal healing and to assist others with their evolution - I've been delighted, awed, deeply moved, transformed, and continually fascinated by their power, benevolence, and wisdom.

In this episode, I invite you to learn more about the Akashic field and how tapping into this field we call "the Records" can help you awaken and become who you REALLY are.

As a companion resource for this episode, I've created a guided healing journey into the Akashic Records. I'll guide you into a meditative, receptive state and we will open your Records together. You'll have a chance to ask a specific question (or focus on an issue you want to shift) and receive healing on all levels - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical.

My guest for this episode is MaryCatherine McDonald, a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma since completing her PhD in 2016. 

While engaging with trauma academically, MaryCatherine experienced the loss of her parents - a significant event that required her to apply her knowledge and insights regarding trauma to herself.

In this interview, we talk about the important ways in which MaryCatherine believes we must re-define trauma and our approach for healing it. I (Josephine) share a bit of my immigration trauma story, and MaryCatherine helps me better understand my own healing process.

MaryCatherine's new book, Unbroken: The Trauma Response is Never Wrong has just been published by Sounds True.

Working with a healer or teacher on your path of awakening can be an empowering, helpful, very supportive experience. Healers and teachers can help us grow beyond our limits and address blindspots or work through things we might not be able to heal on our own.

At the same time, it's important to be discerning when you seek out a new healer, teacher, or spiritual modality. Just because someone or something is labeled "spiritual" doesn't mean it is necessarily aligned with you, or free of ego.

In this episode, I share some ideas about potential issues or red flags you might look for when seeking out a new healer, teacher, or healing modality. Please follow your intuition and gut feelings, and never allow anyone to pressure you into working with them!

You have likely manifested many things while you were asleep - both wonderful, joyful things and sometimes things that were not so pleasant, or that you didn't actually want.

This episode focuses on how to manifest your desires - for particular experiences, relationships, money, health, aligned work - once you're spiritually awake.

I answer a listener's email on this topic, and cover these discussion points:

• how you can get tripped up once you believe in your own power of manifestation
• how your ego self might derail your manifestations through over-thinking, analysis paralysis, or self-doubt
• what to do if you're questioning/over-analyzing whether your desires are coming from your ego or Soul

As Divine beings incarnated in physical bodies, there's this constant duality that we hold.

You are both an eternal, endless Soul AND a human being, in a human body, having a specific human incarnation in this particular moment in time and space.

This episode of INNER WORK is about reconciling these dual aspects of yourself - the human along with the Divine (or the physical along with the spiritual).

We'll talk about why we have a tendency to forget our inner Divinity as we navigate the 3D world, and how to begin reclaiming ALL aspects of yourself -- especially your Higher Self -- and developing an unwavering connection to Divine Source.

This episode is going out, with love, to all my fellow recovering people-pleasers. This is also an important episode if you have any tendencies of seeking approval from others, or feeling like you have to ask others for permission to be your authentic self.

Join me for an in-depth discussion of:

• what people-pleasing actually is
• how we might use people-pleasing as a "shield of niceness" to protect or defend ourselves
• the core fears that drive people-pleasing
• the consequences of people-pleasing on your whole being (emotions, body, mind, Soul)

Are you carrying a mindset of scarcity, lack, or unworthiness when it comes to money? Fear of not having enough or losing what you do have? If yes, it's possible these patterns, emotions, and beliefs regarding money were passed down to you through your family line.

Join me for another episode of INNER WORK where we explore the influence and repercussions of ancestral contracts, patterns, and burdens in our lives. Focusing on inherited beliefs and emotions around money and abundance, I share a case study in ancestral contracts from my own family.

Although you are primarily an Infinite Being of Light, you're also incarnated into a physical, human body. On the 3D human plane, money is a necessary currency - to keep yourself alive, to feed yourself, to shelter yourself, to make things happen in the world.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to shift into a mindset of abundance, create a healthy relationship with money, and forgive ourselves for any past financial mistakes or missteps.

I also address why it's best not to demonize money or see it as evil. Ultimately, it's not money that corrupts us. What can corrupt us is an unchecked ego, which seeks to accumulate more and more and constantly fears lack or tries to assert its power over others.
