In the latest episode of The Sweetest Little Life podcast, Courtney welcomes intuitive reader and energy expert Janet for a fascinating discussion on navigating emotional turbulence, releasing fear, and embracing joy. As they explore themes of intuition, nervous system regulation, and the importance of play, listeners gain invaluable insights into how to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Meet Janet: A Life Dedicated to Intuition and Energy Work
Janet has spent nearly 30 years offering clairvoyant and intuitive readings, guiding people in understanding their energy and emotions. She shares her journey from working at Canyon Ranch to now being at Miraval, traveling across the country to lead workshops and provide readings. Through her Instagram and website, she connects with individuals seeking to deepen their intuitive abilities and navigate life’s challenges with greater awareness.
Emotional Intensity and Collective Patterns
As the conversation unfolds, Courtney and Janet dive into the impact of recent astrological transits, particularly the full moon in Cancer and Pluto’s shift into Aquarius. Janet explains that these cosmic shifts are creating heightened emotions, deep-seated fears, and a collective sense of uncertainty. She notes that many people are struggling with relationships and home stability, making it essential to find ways to regulate the nervous system.
The Power of Nervous System Regulation
One of the key takeaways from the episode is the necessity of calming the nervous system in times of stress and fear. Janet emphasizes that many people are stuck in a reactive state, constantly absorbing external energies without grounding themselves. She offers several strategies to help listeners regulate their emotional bodies:
- Journaling and Meditation: These practices allow for introspection and processing of emotions.
- Spending Time in Nature: Nature serves as a powerful reset, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and the present moment.
- Engaging in Joyful Activities: Prioritizing joy, whether through laughter, hobbies, or play, counteracts stress and anxiety.
- Recognizing External Energies: Often, the anxiety and fear we feel are not our own but absorbed from others. Learning to differentiate between personal emotions and external influences is crucial.
Letting Go of Fear and Embracing Change
Janet highlights that fear stems from uncertainty and the resistance to letting go. With Pluto’s transition into Aquarius bringing major shifts, she advises listeners to lean into the unknown rather than resist it. Fear-based decision-making only perpetuates stress, while surrendering to the flow of life can bring unexpected blessings.
The Call to Play: Reintroducing Joy into Daily Life
A surprising but powerful theme that emerges is the importance of play. Both Janet and Courtney share personal realizations about how easy it is to lose touch with playfulness amid the demands of adulthood. Janet reminds listeners that play is a natural state for animals, and humans can benefit from incorporating more lightheartedness into their lives. Simple ways to reintroduce play include:
- Engaging with pets or children
- Dancing, singing, or engaging in creative activities
- Trying something new or spontaneous
- Changing up daily routines to break out of autopilot mode
Recognizing and Trusting Intuition
Throughout the episode, Janet underscores the importance of listening to one’s body and intuition. She shares how making decisions based on gut feelings rather than logic alone has been a guiding principle in her life. She encourages listeners to practice tuning into their inner knowing, whether by checking in with their body’s sensations or noticing synchronicities in daily life.
A Month-Long Challenge: Cultivating Presence and Joy
To close the episode, Courtney suggests a month-long challenge to help listeners cultivate a greater sense of balance, presence, and joy. This includes:
- Daily mindfulness check-ins: Noticing body sensations and emotions upon waking up.
- Spending at least 10 minutes in nature each day.
- Engaging in one playful activity per day.
- Journaling about daily moments of joy and synchronicity.
- Practicing deep breathing to reset the nervous system.
By incorporating these small but powerful habits, listeners can shift their energy, enhance their intuition, and embrace the joy that life has to offer.
