First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to our listeners for tuning in, doing the inner work, and making us your top podcast in 2023!

Because we trusted ourselves, we attracted you!!! We feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude to every person who has trusted us to help them see their patterns, become more conscious, and release their fears.Season 1 was about looking at our darkness and what needs more love while Season 2 was about removing the obstacles to true peace. What keeps us from feeling truly content or happy? What prevents us from fully being our true selves? What stops us from doing the things we KNOW we want to do...but don't feel like we are ready or deserve to?If you've been listening along for a while or here for the first time, this episode will either remind or teach you about the gifts of presence, patience, and perspective.

57. ABUNDANCE is a Frequency and MONEY is the Tool
True abundance is not the accumulation of money. Abundance is a frequency and state of being - not a destination!Yet so many of us spend all of our energy chasing money and trying to leave the present moment in order to get somewhere better. We keep trying to approach an illusory time in the future where we are happier and more worthy than we are now. What this does though is reinforce the belief that money itself has the power to give us happiness, joy and self-worth. We confuse money with abundance and think that becoming abundant happens by becoming "rich."--Get the WEALTHY WOMAN BUNDLE - 62 Different Courses, E-books + Guides for Financial Empowerment for 99% off (Only 11/17-11/27):https://transactions.sendowl.com/stores/16760/288119Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!)https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityTry the SUPERHUMAN meditation app free for 6 weeks with code 'SPIRALINGHIGHER':https://www.superhuman.app/register--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingJoin the Waitlist for Sam's 6 month coaching program - Problems to Possibilities!https://tinyurl.com/gofromproblemstopossibilitiesApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ginabourneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ginabourneFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

56. Energetic Debt: Budgeting Your Energy
Almost all of us are familiar with budgeting our money and our time...but what about our energy? Most of are counting our dollars and trying to make the best use of our hours, but in doing so, we are falling into an energetic deficit.In today's episode, we share some personal details about how we've transitioned from budgeting our time to budgeting our energy. For years, we both had a strict timeline and to-do list that attempted to ensure we would be the most productive, unconsciously putting ourselves into energetic debt over and over again. At a certain point...we had to ask ourselves, "Why?"Most physiological cues are considered positive, and thankfully, we know when we need to eat or use the bathroom. Yet the physiological signs of being overworked and tired are not met with the same self-caretaking behavior. Most of the time, these cues are met with internalized narratives about how "bad" and "lazy" we are. This conditioning has resulted in us shaming ourselves out of receiving the very thing we so need.It's unfortunate that we don't see rest as either neutral or positive in our fast-paced, Capitalist culture. Rest has been demonized as the idle threat to our precious productivity. We wear badges of fatigue and show off how much we've done rather than caring about how we truly feel. But for us? It's no longer of utmost importance to be "productive" (we've unlinked productivity from our self-worth!), it's more valuable to be truly well. And in order to become well, we had to rest.True abundance, to us, is knowing that we have more than enough time to do all the things we desire AND having enough energy to do them.If you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community more about this episode...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.

55. Ashley Nelson: Moving Through Grief + Identity After Loss
Ashley Nelson became a two-time widow before the age of 35. She also said “goodbye” to ten other relatives and friends in between those drastic losses. These deaths, alongside her 10-year career in the health and death-care industry, gave her deep insight into life after loss that led to her becoming a certified grief specialist. Today, Ashley leads ‘Learning About Grief’ - an organization that offers loss-specific groups, one-to-one private grief sessions, and free education to over 25,000 people from 50+ countries.In today’s episode we ask her about the stages of grief and how to move through them, as well as support people going through them. She sheds light on the research that led to the well-known ‘5 Stages of Grief,’ but shares that these stages were well-documented only with respect to those who were dying. However, we know that grief not only affects the dying but the ones who have survived their death.If the colloquially known 5 Stages of Grief have never resonated with you as a person who has lost a loved one, and experience them more in waves, this conversation will leave you feeling more seen and heard.Carrying grief is human, and you are exactly where you are meant to be.No matter what season of grief you are in, or even if you have never lost a loved but want to support those that have, this conversation will help you ease pain and feel more connected.Episode highlights:-The 5 Stages of Grief (what it gets right + what it gets wrong)-Celebrating someone’s life while simultaneously grieving them-Why we resist the ‘acceptance’ phase for so long-Comparing your grief or attempting to justify it-The guilt of joy (Survivor’s Guilt) experienced after losing loved one-Finding a new identity after lossIf you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community more about grief...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside for our community on the last Sunday of every month.

54. Comparing Suffering - Helpful or Hurtful?
Have you ever got caught in a spiral of comparing your suffering to another person's? Or feeling bad that someone else is suffering and you're not? We've noticed this theme within ourselves, and of course, in the outer reality and it makes us wonder...who is this helping?Who does it serve to compare our suffering or anyone else's suffering against anothers? By comparing, judging, or feeling guilt around our suffering...we do not alleviate any of the suffering the world experiences. What we've realized through our own lives and this candid conversation is that comparing suffering only adds to and creates more suffering. When we remember what is within our control, exercise self care and preservation, we can then show up more fully to other people's pain and support them instead of carrying their pain.This episode will challenge the unconscious idea that many of us perpetuate, which is that through suffering...we become "good."If you love this episode and want to chat with us and our high vibe community about how you've been comparing suffering or feeling overwhelmed by the helplessness you've been experiencing...join the free Spiraling Higher Community.We host FREE connection calls inside every month for our community...RSVP by clicking the link below:--Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!)https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityTry the SUPERHUMAN meditation app free for 6 weeks with code 'SPIRALINGHIGHER':https://www.superhuman.app/registerClear your money blocks & learn how to tap into true ABUNDANCE and become a money master:https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/abundance-money-workshop-replay--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bournetoelevateInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bournetoelevateFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

52. Astrologer Debra Silverman: Full Permission To Be Who You Are
Today's episode introduces an Astrology LEGEND, Debra Silverman. Getting to chat with Debra was a literal manifestation of ours, as she was a "Dream Guest" on our initially penned list of "People to manifest onto the pod!" She is a master at communicating the patterned cycles and geometry of the planets and stars, and has given both of us such an illuminating language to better understand ourselves and others.Debra is a professional astrologer, psychotherapist, and spiritual guide who is here to bring hope to those experiencing collective pain. With a climate crisis standing in the foreground, she brings her wisdom of the elements and astrology to the table to uncover solutions for our times. She is the author of The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition, and is founder of a school that has trained more than 4,000 people in astrology. While there is no “one size fits all” approach, Debra Silverman has developed a unique psychological-spiritual model that seeks to bring individuals more peace and into alignment with their highest potential.In this episode, Debra explains why she believes astrology should be utilized by parents to better understand their children, and answers the question of many: Does the knowledge of your chart take away your free will?If you are a skeptic, we invite you to open the walls of your mind and take solace in the fact that all 3 of us were once skeptics as well. Having now integrated the language and tool that is astrology, we often find ourselves exclaiming, "You can't make this stuff up!" Astrology is an undeniable, dependable healing balm for society as we face the ebbs and flows of life and learn through "mistakes" throughout our human experience.So whether you are seeking your purpose right now or are struggling to understand why you behave in certain ways, Astrology and this conversation will introduce you to the wildly, unique matrix that makes you...you!

46. Never Waste A Good Trigger!
Between Sam and Gina, a commonly repeated phrase as they spiral higher is "Never waste a good trigger." Triggers are sacred teachers and deeper signs of the unconscious beliefs and stories we hold within us. When we are triggered, it's an opportunity to get CURIOUS rather than shame ourselves for our reaction...which only fuels the same cycle.In this authentic conversation, the hosts share their most recent triggering experience and how it revealed a pattern of wounding that still needed to be understood, held and accepted with love. The reason why so many of our triggers continue to come up is because we don't pause to listen to what they need from us. If we listen in and get curious, we'll find out that our triggers have more to say about our needs and shadows that can help us integrate and embody more love on our spiritual journey.Don't forget to share about your experiences in the FREE Spiraling Higher community.

45. Xavier Dagba: It's Time To Stop Repressing Your Purpose & Step Into Your Light
On the healing journey, we are familiar with the feeling of suppressing pain...but have you come face to face with repressing your light? In today's incredible conversation with the one and only Xavier Dagba, we explore common themes and archetypes such as the 'Villain' and the 'Fool' on our path to expansion as we learn to embody more light.Xavier also shares vulnerably about his initial "dark night of the ego" before he claimed his gifts and intuitive power to heal. He does not shy away from telling the stories of disappointing his parents, dropping out of school (when he had a full scholarship!), and even becoming homeless.Looking back, he says ALL of this was absolutely necessary for him to alchemize his pain into light. As the days grew harder and 3D world problems like money & housing came in...he was urged to "trust just one more day." He also shares infinite wisdom about what the journey of acknowledging your light and no longer deciding to repress it anymore feels like. He likens this to "stepping out of the spiritual closet" and no longer having an "affair" with your light and your purpose.If you are someone who is challenging old systems and ways of being that no longer serve you anymore, you MUST listen to this.And if you are making aligned decisons that feel like sh!t...you are in just the right place.Episode Highlights:- Dark Night of the Ego / Soul- The Emergence and Purpose of "Shadow" Careers- Coming Out of the "Spiritual Closet"- Becoming the "Villain" in Someone Else's Story (+ Learning to Accept It)- What It Feels Like to Begin Integrating More Light- Discerning Between The Voices of Ego vs. Spirit- Embracing the Archetype of "The Fool" As We Step Into New Versions of Ourselves__Learn more about Xavier:Website: https://www.xavierdagba.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xavier.dagba/?hl=en__Heal Old Patterns and Unleash Your Potential Inside of the 'Unlayered Self' Mastermind (Starts Sept 12, 2023):https://tinyurl.com/theunlayeredselfJoin our FREE community:https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityClear your money blocks & learn how to tap into true ABUNDANCE and become a money master:https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/abundance-money-workshop-replayApply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingJoin Gina's waitlist for coaching:https://tinyurl.com/btewaitlistFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bournetoelevateInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bournetoelevateFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

44. How We Became Our Best Selves
So many of our listeners and clients have often asked us, "How did you do it? How did you create your dream life?" The short answer is: By releasing everything that was keeping us from it. This episode dives into how we began on the journey of expansion, the investments we made in ourselves, and what actually moved the needle forward after spending over half a million dollars on personal and spiritual development.Reflecting on this has been so beautiful for us because it's easy to forget how much work we've done to be able to say with truth, "I am living my dream life." For years before we began healing together in friendship, we tried every additive process that you can think of. Reading every book, trying every manifestation method, and fearfully trying to control the process. Our attempts at manifestation back then were rooted in lack and it was only when we began to truthfully look in the mirror at ourselves and acknowledge the scarcity mindset and limits we picked up from our conditioning that we could begin to actively re-write them.The journey of becoming our most radically loving, "best" selves was not through adding things externally but was through releasing fear, guilt, shame, and smallness internally. The journey was an INSIDE-OUT process. It was in challenging every thought we ever believed about ourselves until finally we realized that we had the power and consciousness to CHOOSE who we want to become, rather than being puppets to a system that wasn't serving us.At the end of the episode, we share for the very time that we are finally putting together EVERYTHING we have learned into an immersive, 6 month mastermind for you fellow "cycle-breakers." The ones who are here to end the intergenerational patterns of fear and guilt to unleash your fullest potential and call in a bigger life, a life led by purpose. This is "The Unlayered Self."

43. Andrea Freemyer: It's Not You, It's Your Nervous System
Are you constantly feeling high-strung and like there’s never enough time to do anything? Or perhaps you’re the opposite and feel totally paralyzed and have absolutely no energy or motivation to do anything at all? The good news is that you are not crazy OR lazy…you’ve become dysregulated. Andrea Freemyer, a neuroscientist, trauma informed breathwork facilitator, and embodiment guide came onto the pod to talk about all things nervous system and offer her personal story and insights to help us better understand what is happening within the body when we become overwhelmed and distressed in our daily lives.We specifically dive into the captivating realms of the sympathetic and dorsal vagus states, which we mostly identify as ‘anxiety’ and ‘depression.’ Within these states, the logical faculties of our brains can falter, leaving us tethered solely to the emotional and fear-based aspects of our being. Understanding this connection becomes an indispensable tool for navigating our mental and emotional landscapes, paving the way towards greater well-being. Episode Highlights:[00:00:25] Using breathwork to gain perspective and clarity in life[00:00:25] Personal experiences of feeling a loss of joy and resistance to encouragement[00:17:07] The fight or flight response and how we’ve been socialized to identify with it[00:27:14] Navigating personal crises[00:31:49] Repatterning the Mind and Embracing Rest[00:35:19] Understanding the amount of time & compassion required for re-patterningQuotes to ponder:"When we are in a state where the logical part of the brain is offline, our thoughts can become dark and colored by the lenses of that state."Learn more about Andrea:Website: https://www.elementalwellnesssanctuary.com/retreatsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreafreemyer.phd/—Get 6 FREE weeks of the Superhuman app with our code ‘SPIRALINGHIGHER’:https://www.superhuman.app/register—Join our FREE community :https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityClear your money blocks & learn how to tap into true ABUNDANCE to become a money master: https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/abundance-money-workshop-replay Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingJoin Gina's waitlist for coaching:https://tinyurl.com/btewaitlistFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bournetoelevateInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bournetoelevateFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

42. Erica Williams: Business As A Spiritual Practice
How do we create true fulfilment in both our personal and professional lives? Many of us unfortunately sacrifice our personal health for the health and success of our business and/or career. However, what we’ve found is that the most successful businesses (and lives) are those that foster a “win-win” mentality. A “win-win” mentality serves your ideal consumer while also feeding and nurturing your own creative spirit. In this paradigm, one does not sacrifice their health in pursuit of success or take advantage of others to create wealth.In today’s episode, we dive deeper into this topic with a very special guest who shared her profound insights on finding meaning in work and the importance of embracing a spiritual path both inside and outside of one’s professional life.Erica Williams is the CEO of Yumy Candy, one of the fastest growing award-winning healthy candy companies in Canada and the USA. As a serial entrepreneur, investor and mentor she believes in cultivating winning products through creating solutions for people. She intends to bridge the gap between spirituality and business by consciously creating companies with a quantum business blueprint.Episode Highlights:-Bridging the gap between spirituality and business-Embracing our feminine energy in a masculine dominant structure-Creating a life & business in alignment with abundance-Is aging just a belief?!Quotes to ponder:“Entrepreneurship is not just about making money, it's about creating a life that feels good and aligns with your values and authenticity.” "The key is to create win-win opportunities in business and shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance and service."—Get 6 FREE weeks of the SUPERHUMAN app using code “SPIRALINGHIGHER”:https://www.superhuman.app/registerLearn more about Erica:Website: https://yumybear.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yumycandyfounder/https://www.instagram.com/yumycandyco/—Join our FREE community :https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityClear your money blocks & learn how to tap into true ABUNDANCE to become a money master: https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/abundance-money-workshop-replay Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingJoin Gina's waitlist for coaching:https://tinyurl.com/btewaitlistFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bournetoelevateInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bournetoelevateFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

28. Laurie Anne Briere: Finding Our True Selves By Healing Through The Nervous System
Healing is not only what happens on a mental level but is largely dictated by what's happening on an emotional and somatic level. If you are someone who has ever struggled with their feelings, felt like they were "too much" or "bad"...this conversation is for you. Laurie Anne Briere shares her experiential wisdom as a somatic practitioner, Transforming Touch therapist, breathwork facilitator, and educator who specializes in early trauma resolution.This curious conversation seeks to help you understand what the body's responses are telling you and explores why and how we develop certain coping mechanisms as attempts at regulation. Laurie Anne's insights will completely change your perpsective on any "negative" coping habits you've acquired over the years and help you view them through the lens of compassion.What this conversation ultimately taught us is that "We are always doing the best we can." Our nervous system is what communicates to our bodies and brains whether we are safe or not, and even if those signals don't make sense to our mind...they colour how we feel, think, and interact with ourselves and the world. When we can learn to see these responses as helpful rather than hurtful, we can bring more understanding and compassion to our inner and outer worlds.A look at topics covered:-What is somatic work?- Understanding trauma responses and coping mechanisms- How to process emotions through the body (not the mind!)- Emotional regulation-Why we burnout and resist rest- The concept of rupture and repair- The role of the vagus nerve- How to shift from the sympathetic nervous system state to a parasympathetic (rest & digest) state--Join our free community:https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityJOIN US FOR OUR LIVE ABUNDANCE + MONEY WORKSHOP on March 12th:https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/offers/QW59qcGo/checkoutWork with Sam:Elevate your Manifestation abilities and download my live coaching calls:https://simplifyingsam.mykajabi.com/MassiveManifestationBundle?fbclid=PAAabMSVAmVKFByxuBj1-Um3OsMCBgvvP3F9zHT5MEvJNpQVSXCGFkZSUWrTUApply for 1:1 coaching:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingTry any ORGANIFI product for 20% off:https://glnk.io/y7z/simplifying.sam--Find Laurie Anne:https://www.laurieannebriere.com/https://www.instagram.com/laurieabriere/Follow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bournetoelevateInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bournetoelevateFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
