Spiritual transformation isn’t about bypassing the hard stuff—it’s about leaning into your emotions with curiosity and compassion. You have the power to define your healing, transform your story, and create a life rooted in awareness and self-worth.

Transformation is your ability to transcend or evolve beyond your current self.
You get to define what that looks like—it could be shifting patterns, changing thoughts, healing relationships, or reclaiming your self-worth.
Whatever form it takes, transformation can be a spiritual process if you choose to see it that way.
I’m being guided to emphasize spiritual transformation because we’re often placed in what I’ll call interesting situations—not necessarily challenging, unless we perceive them that way.
Perception is everything.
We each have the power to interpret any situation however we choose.
🦋 Defining Your Own Transformation
When we’re given opportunities to grow, we also have the power to take any situation—good, bad, or indifferent—and give ourselves permission to perceive it in a way that allows for spiritual transformation.
Now, I want to be clear—this is not about spiritual bypassing.
It’s not about slapping on a positive mindset and ignoring reality.
It’s about getting curious.
It’s about standing in the middle of the storm and asking, Why am I here?
What am I meant to learn?
What is this here to transform in me?
What can I take from this experience so I don’t have to keep reliving it?
That’s the heart of spiritual transformation.
You get to define what it means.
You get to be curious about what’s unfolding.
Because the pattern will keep repeating until the lesson is learned, until the cycle is complete, until you can look at it and say, “This is complete.”
💫 Becoming Conscious
I know for me, I’ve had all kinds of situations where people have come into my life, caused chaos, wreaked havoc—and I’m just sitting there like, “WTF?!”
“Why is this happening?”
And honestly, I could’ve stayed in victimhood.
That would’ve been the easy route—I was taught that.
Many of us were.
But when situations like that kept happening, and I was still oblivious to the pattern—because let’s be real, sometimes it just keeps coming and coming and coming—I realized something: this was spiritual transformation in motion.
I just hadn’t recognized it yet.
Sometimes we’re so deep in it, we don’t even see that it’s an invitation.
An invitation to transform whatever it is we’re here to work on.
Whatever soul agreement or soul contracts we made before coming here.
And yes, we can be totally blind to it at first.
But the moment you become conscious instead of unconscious, you get to pause and ask, “Why is this happening?”
“What am I meant to learn here?”
“How can I choose to transform my experience of this experience?”
How can we manage our emotions when they feel overwhelming? That’s where your power lies.
That’s where your power lies.
You get to define what your transformation looks like.
You get to choose whether you sit in victimhood or begin to move forward.
And let me be very clear: this is not about bypassing real pain.
Awful things happen.
And you have every right to feel all of it—to be angry, to grieve, to rage, to cry, to scream.
That’s part of the process.
You’re allowed to have your full emotional experience – even your emotional pain.
💪 The Power of Emotional Permission
Eventually, you have to step back and ask, “What’s the transformation here?”
How do I want to grow from this?
And just to be clear—I’m not saying don’t be angry.
Don’t ignore your sadness or your rage.
Sometimes, those exact emotions are what carry you through the transformation.
They’re powerful, and they’re real.
I know that for me, I was taught that anger wasn’t allowed.
My parents could express it, but when I did, it was “too much.”
They didn’t have the tools to handle my emotions—or their own.
So now, as adults, we have to figure it out.
Sometimes, feeling the anger is the work.
The key is to let it move in a healthy way.
Because when you allow yourself to actually feel it, that’s often what creates the shift.
So the question becomes, “How do you let those emotions support your growth, instead of suppressing them or letting them run the show?”
How do you give yourself permission to be angry and permission to be mad and permission to still have the transformation information?
How can we manage our emotions while still honoring our pain?
It starts with giving yourself permission to actually feel your emotions as they come up—and to acknowledge how they’re really making you feel.
Sometimes you think you’re just sad, but underneath that, you’re angry.
Maybe even on the verge of rage. But you’ve never allowed yourself to admit it, let alone feel it.
The shift begins when you stop suppressing and start allowing—when you let those emotions move through you, not run your life, but not be ignored either.
And the key is channeling them in a healthy way, so they become part of your transformation, not your breakdown.
🧠 Processing in a Safe Space
Channeling emotions in a healthy way can look like a lot of different things—journaling, talking to someone, painting, hitting a punching bag, going for a walk, even breaking stuff in a safe space.
It can all be healthy.
For me, around the middle of last year, I was processing a lot.
And I remember telling my husband, “I just need a day. A day to be sad without anyone asking me what’s wrong or worrying about me. I need space to feel, even if I don’t fully understand what I’m feeling yet.”
So I made myself unavailable.
I gave myself that space.
I went to a Shamanic Breathwork session for four hours, and afterward, I held space for myself, just me, in my own sacred container.
And honestly?
It was incredible.
Because I gave myself full permission to feel, to sit with those emotions, to acknowledge them, and then release them.
That was the transformation.
Not fixing it.
Not bypassing it.
Just being with it.
Sometimes it involves being around other people.
Sometimes it involves being with just yourself.
Whatever the case, you get to decide what the spiritual transformation is.
You get to decide whether or not you feel your feelings.
You get to choose how you perceive a situation—good, bad, or indifferent.
You get to decide all of that.
You are in control of your perception.
You are in control of your reactions.
You are in control of your path.
And some of you might say, “Well, I’m not. I feel out of control.”
Great.
That’s a choice too.
And sometimes, feeling out of control is exactly what needs to be acknowledged—so you can begin to process what’s rising to the surface and ask to be changed.
How can we manage our emotions when we feel powerless or out of control?
Our perception, our human experience, is layered, complex, messy, beautiful, and deeply personal.
It’s fascinating because two people can be in the same room, witness the same event, and still walk away with completely different interpretations.
Why?
Because we each see through the lens of our experiences.
Some of those experiences stay tucked away.
Others come rushing forward.
Recently, I was hearing about a situation—emotions, reactions, stories—and it immediately brought me back to a time when my mom was leaving my stepdad.
We had to call the police to leave our house safely.
That old memory surfaced instantly.
Sometimes our past comes forward in the middle of everyday life.
And it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, it can be beautiful.
Because when that happens, I get curious, What is this showing me?
What is still unprocessed?
What’s still shaping my perception?
That curiosity opens the door to healing.
Something in my consciousness or subconscious is still influencing how I experience life, and that means it’s time to look at it and decide how I want to shift it, if I’m ready.
And that’s the beauty of spiritual transformation.
You get to decide when.
You get to choose how.
You get to transform each day through your thoughts, your words, your choices, and your energy.
That’s the power you have.
You might say, “I can’t control how I feel.”
But you can work with your emotions.
You can move through what’s been sitting inside.
It takes time.
It doesn’t happen overnight.
How can we manage our emotions when the process feels slow or unclear?
📘 Releasing Old Stories
There are so many things with layers—things that take time to work through, to understand, and to heal from.
But when you finally get through to the other side, you may find that it’s almost impossible to recall because it no longer holds a place in your life.
For me, I used to constantly feel like I was stupid.
I struggled with various learning disabilities growing up, and I carried the label of being “not intelligent” with me.
It haunted me, especially in my early 20s.
But today, that belief doesn’t even exist in my world.
It’s not part of my reality anymore.
I used to tell “dumb blonde” jokes just to preempt anyone else making fun of me.
It was a way to manage my insecurities.
If I was making fun of myself first, I thought, no one else could do it to me.
✨ Evolution Through Experience
But that’s not even in my thought process anymore.
It’s not something I worry about or concern myself with.
And if someone judges me for it, I don’t care. I’ve made peace with myself.
I know I’m super intelligent, and I know that I have challenges, but I’ve built systems to work through them.
Things that may be harder for me than others are just part of my journey, and that’s okay.
If someone judges me for it, that’s their problem, not mine.
That’s the beauty of spiritual transformation.
You move through different phases, and what you worry about, what challenges you in one chapter, can completely shift in the next.
Ten, twenty, or even five years later, you’ll look back and think, Wow, I haven’t thought about that in forever.
Or, that’s not even part of my reality anymore.
It’s incredible how much we can evolve.
How can we manage our emotions when our self-perception begins to shift?
💭 Conscious Reaction and Recalibration
So with that said, what do you want your spiritual transformations to look like?
What do you want your reactions to be?
When you find yourself reacting in a way that isn’t serving your highest good, can you give yourself permission to acknowledge it?
Can you catch it, and then take a moment to think through how you’d like to respond next time that situation comes up?
And if you’ve already reacted in a way you’re not proud of or are questioning, give yourself permission to get curious about the transformation.
Sometimes, after a strong reaction, there might not be a next time for that same situation.
The key is that you’re taking the time to reflect, to understand it, and to ask, What can I learn from this?
What can I heal from this?
That’s where growth happens.
💜 Releasing Shame, Embracing Change
Sitting in guilt and shame doesn’t help.
It keeps those frequencies in your field, which can bring similar experiences to validate or heal those feelings.
For me, I don’t want to heal guilt and shame.
I don’t want to sit in them.
If you’ve ever experienced guilt and shame, you know how awful it feels.
It’s heavy.
And you don’t have to stay there.
You have the ability to transform.
You have the power to change your reality and experience the spiritual transformations you’re seeking.
You deserve them.
Every experience in your life carries meaning.
We don’t need to dissect every single one, but when you’re going through spiritual transformation—especially during challenging or “interesting” experiences—you do have the chance to reflect, understand, and transform.
You deserve that.
How can we manage our emotions to support our personal growth?
So, define what you want your spiritual transformation to be when those experiences come up.
And don’t forget to feel your feelings through it.
With love and blessings,

Full transcription of the episode:
Hello, and welcome to today’s episode. I’m so excited you are here. I was tuning in today and just feeling into what would serve the highest good to talk about. And the first thing I got from the Akashic Records that was really important to talk about is transformation, specifically spiritual transformation. Transformation is your ability to transform or to transcend your… And then you can fill in the blank. It could be It could be patterns, thoughts. It could be relationships. It could be self-worth. You get to define what the transformation is. And all of your transformations can be a spiritual process if you allow them to be. And the reason why I’m being guided to emphasize spiritual transformation is because oftentimes we are put in very interesting situations. And I want to say interesting because because it’s not challenging unless it’s your perception that it’s a challenge. A challenge is what you determine that is the… Let me say that slightly a from. Perception is key here. We all have the ability to perceive any given situation any way that we want. And when we are given up or opportunities to grow, we have the opportunity to take any situation, good, bad, or indifferent, and give ourselves permission to perceive it in a way that allows us to have a spiritual transformation.
And I want to emphasize this is not spiritual bypassing because it’s not about being positive. It’s about getting curious and giving yourself permission to go, I’m in this storm, and And what am I here for? What am I supposed to be learning? What am I supposed to be transforming? What am I to take from this experience and run with it so I don’t have to keep creating it. And this is the spiritual transformation part. You get to define what the transformation is. You get to get curious about what the transformation is because the pattern will keep repeating itself until you have You’ve learned the lesson, until you’ve put it to bed, until you have acknowledged that that is complete. This is complete. I know for me, I’ve had all sorts of different situations where people will come into my life, wreak all sorts of havoc, and then I’m just sitting there going, WTF? Why is this happening? And instead of staying in victimhood, which I could, I was taught that that was very easy to do. Instead, when something like that happens and I’m oblivious to the situation, because sometimes we can have the situation just come in and come in and come in and come in and come in.
And it’s like we’re just so blinded that that is a spiritual transformation, trying to give you the opportunity to transform whatever it is that you are working on, whatever it is that you made a sole agreement with, we can be oblivious. And so once you become conscious instead of unconscious to it, you then have the opportunity to go, why is this happening? What am I learning from this? How do I want to transform my experience with this experience because you have the ability to define what your transformation is. You have the ability to decide if you are going to sit there and woe me or be victim. And please note that there are awful things that happen, and I am not telling you not to process those awful things because you have the right to be angry, you have the right to be mad. You have the right to have all of the feelings and all of the emotions and all of the reactions that you want to have to it. But eventually, you have to take a step back and go, what’s the transformation here, and how do I want to grow from this?
So know that in no way, shape, or form, am I not telling you to be angry? I’m not telling you not to be upset because sometimes the anger, sometimes the rage, sometimes the sadness is the very thing that will assist you in the transformation. And it’s because oftentimes people don’t want to feel those feelings. I know for me, anger, I was taught that that anger wasn’t allowed. My parents could be angry all the time, but my feelings, my emotions, my reactions were just too much for them because they just didn’t know how to handle me, and they weren’t given the tools to handle their own emotions as well. And so when it comes to those things, as adults, we have to figure out how to work through them. And sometimes anger is the way to actually work through it. And you want to allow the anger to be healthy. You want to allow the sadness to be healthy, and it can be the thing that assist with the change. And so how do you do that? How do you give yourself permission to be angry and permission to be mad and permission to still have the transformation.
It’s one, giving yourself permission to actually feel the emotions when they’re arising and acknowledge how they’re making you feel so then you can actually feel those emotions because you might think you’re sad, but you’re really mad. You’re really angry. You’re on the verge of rage, but you have never given yourself permission to actually admit or feel those feelings. And so giving yourself permission to allow the feelings to come in and channeling them in a healthy way. And so channeling them in a healthy way could be journaling them. It could be talking to someone. It could be painting or punching a punching bag or going for a walk or going to break some stuff. It can all be healthy. It can all be healthy. And they have a couple, maybe earlier Last year, no, maybe middle of last year, I was processing a lot of stuff. And I told my husband, I’m like, I just need a day to just give myself permission to be sad without anybody worrying about me or anybody asking me what’s wrong. I just need some time and space to process what I’m trying to process, but I’m confused on what it is, but I actually need the space to do it.
And so I’m not available today. And for me, that was one of the best things because I went and I took four hours. I went in to, what is it called? The Shamanic Breath Workshop. And then I gave myself mission to just be with those emotions in my own sacred container after I was done. And it was awesome. It was so fantastic because I knew that that was the very thing that would help me get those emotions forward, acknowledge them, and then release them. And sometimes it involves being around other people. Sometimes it involves being around just yourself. Whatever the case is, is you get to decide what the spiritual transformation is. You get to decide if you choose to feel your feelings or not. You get to decide if you want to perceive the situation good, bad, or indifferent. You get to decide all of that. You are in control of your destiny. You are in control of your perception. You are in control of your reactions. And some of you might go, Well, I’m not. I feel out of control. Great. That is a choice that you get to make. And sometimes feeling out of control is the very thing that you have to admit that you are feeling that way so that you can start to process what is wanting to come in to process to change.
Our perception, our human experience experience is so layered and so complex and so magnificently messy and beautiful and technical. And it’s just really cool to see and to witness because you and I can go into the same room, we can witness the same thing, and our perceptions of that situation is going to be slightly different or way different. And the reason for that is because we view things through our lens of experiences. And some of those experiences come right to the forefront. I had something happen recently that I was being told about something that was going on and reactions and feelings and all this different stuff. And it instantly took me back to a time where my mom was leaving my stepdad. We had the cops called because we needed to get out of our house safely. And so sometimes situations that you experienced from the past will come forward in everyday situations that let you know, Hey, you’re still processing something from that experience. And this is going to make you perceive different situations through that lens because of that experience. And it’s not necessarily not necessarily a bad thing when this happens. It’s actually quite beautiful when it happens because for me, I’ll get curious and be like, Oh, what is that?
There’s something there for me to look at. There’s something there for me to heal. There is something there still lingering in my conscience and in my subconscious that is still making me perceive things in a certain way. And it’s time to look at it and decide how I want to assist in transforming it if I’m ready to do that. And that’s the cool thing about spiritual transformation. You get to decide what your timeline is. You get to decide how you want to transform every day through your thoughts, your words, your deeds, and your actions. And And that is such a powerful thing that you have control over. And you might go, I can’t control how I feel. You can. You can work through certain emotions. You can work through certain experiences. And it takes time. I’m not saying that it happens overnight. There is so many things that have so many layers that takes a lot of time sometimes to work through, to understand, and to heal from. And when you do get on the other side of it, you’re going to be not even able to recall it sometimes because it’s just not there.
I know for me, I would constantly feel like I was stupid. Constantly feel like I was stupid and that I wasn’t smart because I had all sorts of different learning disabilities growing up. And so I labeled myself as not intelligent, and it was something that I had a really hard time with, and it would come up a lot in my early 20s. That doesn’t come up at all for me anymore. It’s not even in my atmosphere. It’s not even in my realm of reality. I used to tell dumb blonde jokes to beat someone to the punch just so it would set my own insecurities at ease, because if I’m making fun of myself, nobody can make fun of me, right? But I can’t… That’s not even in my thought process anymore, and it’s not something I worry about. It’s not something I’m concerned about. And if someone judges me for it, well, I I don’t care anymore because I’ve made peace with myself, and I know I’m super intelligent, and I know I’m smart, and I know that I have problems in my own way, and I know how to work through them because I have different systems in place to work through those things that may be more challenging for me than others.
And it’s okay. And if somebody judges me for it, I don’t really care anymore because it’s not my problem. It’s their problem if they’re judging me. And that’s the thing about spiritual transformation is you go through these waves and what you’re concentrating on and what you’re worried about and what you are having a challenge with in this chapter can completely transform from the next chapter to the next chapter to the next chapter. And then 10 years later, 20 years later, five years later, whatever the timeline is, you can look back and go, I haven’t thought about that. Or, that’s not even in my atmosphere anymore. That’s not even in my realm of the reality anymore. It’s such a cool thing. So with that being said, what do you want your spiritual transformations to be? What do you want your reactions to be? And when you are in a reaction that is not serving your highest good, can you give yourself permission to acknowledge it, to catch it, to give yourself permission to think through how you will want to react next time that situation comes up. Or if, let’s say, you did react in a way that you’re not proud of or you’re questioning, give yourself permission to get curious about what the transformation is.
So next time, if there is a next time, because sometimes when we have such a bad reaction or next level of reaction, I can say is you might not have it again because you’re taking the time to dissect it and to get curious about it and then go, okay, this is what I’m learning from that. This is what I’m going to give myself permission to heal from. Because sitting in guilt and shame is not helping. Sitting in guilt and shame keeps that frequency in your field so that you can have that experience again to either validate that feeling or to heal that. And for me, I want to heal it. I don’t want to sit in guilt and shame. I don’t want to have that experience. And if you have ever had an experience where you are sitting in guilt and shame, it is a cruddy feeling to feel. It does not feel good. And so you have the ability to transform. You have the ability to magnificently change your reality and have the spiritual transformations that you are seeking, that you are wanting, that you deserve to have because every experience in your life has some meaning, and we don’t have to dissect every experience, but you do have the opportunity to dissect when you’re in spiritual transformation, when you’re having challenging or interesting experiences, and how to change them and how to transform them because you deserve that, my friend.
So I hope you enjoyed this episode. Please make sure you like and subscribe and define what you want your spiritual transformation to be when you are having those experiences and feel your feelings, my friend. I will talk to you soon. Have a great day. Bye..
