Awaken Your Sacral Chakra The #sacral chakra (Svadhisthana), located just below the navel, is the home of your creativity, #emotions, pleasure, and passion.

The root chakra, or #Muladhara, is the energy center at the base of your spine that connects you to your sense of safety, #stability, and #belonging. When it’s balanced, you feel grounded, secure, and able to face life’s challenges with confidence. But when it’s out of balance, you might feel anxious, disconnected, or even stuck in #survival mode. Here are some signs your root chakra might be out of balance: • Feeling anxious or unsafe • Struggling with finances or stability • Trouble feeling “at home” in your body or surroundings • Physical symptoms like lower back pain or fatigue Working with me, I’ll guide you to recognize these imbalances and teach you practical tools to restore harmony. Through grounding exercises, energetic clearing, and intentional rituals, we’ll strengthen your foundation and help you realign with your most #vibrant, secure self. If this resonates with you, go to the link in my bio to schedule a discovery call and see if my private one-on-one program is the right fit for you. Together, we’ll explore how to work with your unique energy and integrate ancient wisdom into modern life. #RootChakra #ChakraHealing #ModernHippieSoul #GroundingEnergy #HolisticHealing #EnergeticAlignment #ChakraBalance #MindBodySoul #NashvilleHeals #WombWisdom #WomenEmpoweringWomen #BalancingBrilliance #Energy #Love #CrystalHealing #Thrive #

Some time ago, I had the honor of completing a very impactful interview and today, the words we shared feel more significant than ever. As I reflect on my #journey, I’m reminded of the pivotal moments when I had to stand up for myself—not just as a #woman, but as someone deserving of #respect, #love, and #truth. I longed for genuine love, but the most profound lesson I’ve learned is this: to be the best possible #mother, I had to accept that I could no longer be a “good daughter” to a #toxic parent. This kind of decision carries an unspeakable weight, a pain that many will never understand. But I choose to see it as an initiation—an initiation into my own strength, a strength that has birthed something even greater: the #resilience of my daughter. I often think about the #cycles we break as mothers. If my daughter hadn’t witnessed me standing up to my father, would she have the courage to stand up to someone in her own life? Would the cycle of toxicity continue for generations to come? The choices we make—especially as women—are never just for ourselves. They’re for our daughters, for their daughters, and for every woman who comes after us. Thank you @offical_johanna_burkhardt of @cosmicblondepodcast for holding space for this raw and powerful conversation, for your friendship, and for creating a platform where stories like mine can inspire others to find their own strength. #heal #selfheal #energy #survive #thrive #balance #wombwisdom #balance #brilliance #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #purpose #peace #connection #feminine #breath #reiki #sekhmet #sisters #daughters #generationalwealth

She healed herself by trusting her own wisdom and learning to love every part of who she was, even the broken pieces. Healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing the beauty in our journey, the lessons in our pain, and the power in our growth. Each step toward wholeness is an act of self-love and trust in our own wisdom. The broken pieces are not flaws, but the building blocks of our strength. Working with an energy coach, a Reiki master, or any other healer isn’t about someone else doing the work for you—it’s about learning to heal yourself. It’s about rediscovering your own power, trusting that healing is your birthright, and unlocking the tools within you to create the change you seek. You are whole. You are powerful. You are worthy of healing. #EnergyHealing #WomenEmpoweringWomen #SelfLove #HealingJourney #DivineFeminine #InnerStrength #WisdomWithin #Empowerment #HealingTogether #SacredHealing #EmbraceYourJourney #Wholeness #SelfCare #TrustYourself #Energy #Reiki #Love #WomenSupportingWomen #Survive

How often do we take the time to truly #honor ourselves? As mothers, wives, and friends, we pour so much #energy into celebrating and supporting those around us—hosting beautiful parties, creating thoughtful dinners, and holding space for everyone else. But when do we do that for ourselves? I was recently talking with some incredible women about this and shared a practice I’ve started: keeping a picture of myself on my desk. During hard times, I look into my own eyes and remind myself, You’re doing a great job. Yes, this is #tough, but you’re going to get through it. You’re beautiful, and you are worthy of #abundance. Today, I took a moment to honor myself. With @malieokalaniurrutia and @sacredwomanschool and all the beautiful women plugged into this network, I surrounded myself with beautiful flowers and their fragrances, the sacred spiral of the womb, and my favorite #crystal —one that reflects both the light and the dark within me. I sat with all the abundance I’ve brought into my life and let myself fully embrace this truth: This is me. I honor myself above all else so that I can continue to pour #love into those around me. This is what unconditional self-love looks like. Honoring who you are, in all your beauty and strength, so you can give fully and freely to the world. #selflove #energy #love #heal #women #sound #selfcare #womenempowerment #journey

I can hardly put into words how much of an honor it was to sit down with the beautiful and divine @offical_johanna_burkhardt of @cosmicblondepodcast . I first began listening to her guidance years ago, and now, having the chance to connect with her in such a personal way felt almost like a dream come true. It was truly like reconnecting with an old friend. During our conversation, we delved deep into my own journey of awakening, healing from toxic relationships, and unraveling the layers of repressed ancestral trauma. We also explored how ancient healing modalities, such as Egyptian Reiki and Shamanic Practices, not only fueled my personal healing journey but ignited my passion to help others heal as well. It was a powerful moment, one that I will carry with me as I continue on my mission to support others in their journeys of transformation. Johanna’s #wisdom and the energy she brings to her work is unmatched. I felt incredibly #grateful for the opportunity to be in her presence and share pieces of my own story, and I truly believe this conversation will resonate with many of you who have experienced similar struggles with burnout, #relationships, and healing. If you’re curious to hear more about how we are all connected and how the healing journey can be #transformative, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Tune in to the full episode - you won’t want to miss it! If you’re ready to tackle your own #burnout, heal toxic patterns, and work with your own unique energy, I invite you to book a discovery call. Together, we can explore whether my Balancing Brilliance program is the right fit for you.

Reflecting on Growth Earlier this year, I had the honor of being featured in @nashvillevoyager where I was asked: *"Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?"* At the time, I shared my belief that challenges are really opportunities for growth—and this year has been a beautiful testament to that. Looking back, I see how the trials of the past were not #roadblocks but stepping stones, strengthening me for what was to come. The #journey has been anything but smooth, yet in its own way, it's been breathtaking. What stands out most is the incredible women I’ve worked with. With Balancing Brilliance, in just 90 days, I’ve watched them transform, diving deep into their own power and emerging with more #clarity and brilliance than they ever imagined. Each journey has reaffirmed what I shared in the interview: #growth happens when we lean into the hard moments and trust the process. Every time I think life might slow down, more women find their way into this work—and I’m endlessly grateful for the #trust, #energy, and #commitment they bring. This interview feels like a marker in time, a testament to how much can change in just six months when we embrace growth together. Here’s to the #challenges that shape us, the work that fulfills us, and the community that strengthens us. #nashville #love #heal #healingjourney #breath #holisitic #health #soundhealing # crystal #energy #energeticbody #energetichealing #soulwork #shadowwork #ancientwisdom #support #womensupportingwomen #selfhealers #balance #WomenEmpoweringWomen #Gratitude

I recently had the honor of sitting down with @theadvisor_sc 20-time best-selling author, speaker, coach, and podcaster—to delve into a topic close to my heart: the transformative power of healing. As we discussed, true healing extends far beyond addressing past #wounds. It’s about embracing our inner #power and creating a fulfilling, purpose-driven #life. Our conversation touched on how each of us possesses the innate ability to connect with our own strength, enabling us to shape our present and our future. When we acknowledge and tap into that inner #resilience, we can lead lives filled with #joy, purpose, and #alignment. This holistic approach to wellness, which includes ancient wisdom and modern insights, can reshape not just individual lives but also communities. The full interview was featured in @thrive where we discuss these principles in depth. It’s an inspiring read for anyone ready to break free from burnout and integrate the wisdom of holistic healing into their lives. #love #energy #womensupportingwomen #thrive #heal #healthymind #holistic

I’m beyond thrilled to sit down once again with one of my favorite podcast hosts, Stacey Chillemi of @theadvisor_sc In this conversation, we dove deep into the transformative power of shamanism, especially as it helped me navigate one of the hardest times of my life. As a single mother, I struggled when traditional approaches like therapy and antidepressants couldn’t provide the healing I desperately needed. Shamanic practices, however, offered a profound path to wholeness that I hadn’t found anywhere else. Through my journey, I discovered that these practices are accessible to anyone willing to open themselves to self-healing. Stacey and I discuss how shamanism doesn’t just help us heal but brings us back to the roots of our spiritual essence. If you’re feeling called to explore how healing practices can bring calm, clarity, and confidence into your life, you’ll want to tune in #love #energy #reiki #ceremony #practice #survive #thrive #heal #mentalhealth #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #brave #warriorwoman

It was an honor to sit down with Kevin from the @nashvillevoyager to contribute inspiring article for Tennessee Highlighter to share my #journey and discuss my career goals and favorite #nashville spots. My focus isn’t on monetary success, but on the impact I can make within my community. I aim to help individuals, especially #women, understand and #heal their #energetic bodies. Emotions can manifest as physical discomfort, and I believe that by bringing awareness to the connection between our internal states and overall health, we can foster deep #healing. A key part of my work is normalizing the idea that we can heal ourselves through holistic practices. Vibrational frequencies from sound, crystals, and even words can either balance or unbalance us. Understanding this interplay allows us to tap into our own potential for healing. After years of navigating the #corporate world and #spirituality, I created my business to bridge these two realms. I balance both worlds, proving it’s possible to thrive in both. I was also asked about where I would take visiting friends to some of my favorite places in Nashville. These include @skullsrr for a fun night out, kayaking at Burgess Falls for an adventure, brunch @yolannashville located inside of the @thejosephnashville and exploring the eclectic shops in east Nashville always exploring the iconic @countrymusichof and since we live right around the corner from @lovelesscafe we’d definitely stop there for some classic Southern comfort food. I also got to give special thanks to my amazing children and my husband @jmf0017 Love & Balance, Shannon P.S. If you're seeking profound change and balance, book a discovery call now to see if my 90 Day Program, Balancing Brilliance is the right fit for you. #energy #voice #love #selfheal #healingjourney #nashvillelove #health #thrive #survive #warrior #sound #crystal #reiki

Have you been seeing the number 444 repeatedly, just like I have lately? It seems to be showing up everywhere for me—on clocks, receipts, license plates, and even in random conversations. This isn’t just a coincidence—it’s a powerful message from the universe with deep spiritual significance. Seeing 444 frequently is often considered a sign from the spiritual realm, an indication that you are being watched over and supported by angelic or divine forces. **444** is known as an “angel number,” symbolizing that your angels or spiritual guides are close by, offering you support and protection. It’s a reminder that you’re on the right path, and your efforts are being guided and blessed. When you see 444, it’s a sign to trust the process, to know that everything is unfolding as it should, and that your perseverance and hard work are not going unnoticed. This number often appears during times of change or challenge, serving as a reminder that you are not alone. It encourages you to stay grounded and trust in the support of the universe, knowing that you are being guided toward your highest good. These appearances of 444 may be nudging you, as they have been for me, to take notice of what’s happening in your life and ensure you’re aligned with your true purpose. It’s a reminder that even in times of uncertainty, divine guidance is always within reach. **What to do when you see 444**: - Reflect on where you are in life and whether you are following your true path. - Use this as a reminder to stay committed and grounded, especially during challenging times. - Tune into your intuition, pay attention to the signs around you, and stay open to the guidance that’s being sent your way. When 444 keeps appearing, it’s not just chance—it’s a message of alignment, support, and divine timing. Trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. #love #energy #heal #angelnumbers #444 #signs #intuition #intuitive #alignment #guidance #grounded #selflove #process #trust

Yesterday morning, I had the privilege of spending time with some truly amazing women. The healing energy we shared was profound as they courageously brought so much to the surface. This is the work that makes me feel so honored to walk this path. Every step of my journey, no matter how difficult, has led me here—and I wouldn’t change a thing. This work is hard. It’s not always about love and light; it requires dedication, self-care, and balance. But spending the afternoon surrounded by laughter, love, and the beauty of nature was the perfect reminder of why I do this.

A woman’s strength is not defined by the world around her, but by the resilience and courage that reside within her heart.” Today, let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible power that lies within every woman. It’s not just about physical strength; it’s about the unwavering determination, the fierce love, and the inner fire that drives us forward, even in the face of challenges. When we embrace our true selves and recognize our worth, we not only uplift ourselves but also inspire those around us to do the same. Together, we can create a ripple effect of strength, support, and empowerment that transcends boundaries. So let’s share our stories, lift each other up, and continue to break barriers. Remember, your inner strength is a light that can guide others in their own journeys.
