My spiritual awakening

I have been experiencing the sequence of certain numbers for at least a year or so...mainly 1234 or 123. This last two years I have been going through major changes in my career and life. Its basically been slowing down...i am 55 now and have been a wife/mom/manager/bookkeeper/pr/everything since 19. I had completely burned out. Now I find this podcast to help me understand what I have been seeing and find my spiritual awakening!! I have been looking and I found you 💜💜🌈🌈 Thank you 😊

Today is February 1, 2024 and the above part never got sent 😂. When I typed the above it states I was “55”…I am now “59” and so look forward to listening!

Thank you so much!

Favorite Podcast of my Week

This has been just the dose of spirituality that I’ve needed. I’ve been a listener for over a year now, usually listening to these episodes while I’m walking on my lunch. I feel like I’m listening to old friends with these interviews and learning about various topics along the way! The interview style is conversational, fun, and a joy to listen to. The topics are vast and I find that most episodes line up synchronistically with what I need to hear! I want someone to interview our host so we can hear more of her own journey.

Journey

When I started my healing journey I felt lost and alone and when I stumbled across sense of soul podcast it spoke volumes to me I could relate so much to the things they spoke about or the guest on the show. So much that I became a reiki healer through Shanna. Highly recommend this podcast!
