Hello everyone and welcome to episode 3 of wake up with Natasha. I am your host Natasha Mac. I am a spiritual mentor and evidential psychic medium and an akashic records reader and I'm so excited that you're here right now, and I'm just over all excited for this episode because I'm just loving the way that these have been flowing. I don't have a plan for this.Sewed but I know that everything is just going to come out the way it's meant to and I'm going to speak about what I meant to speak about according to what my listeners are really needing. And I just love how much purpose is behind each of my episodes and how they've been touching you guys and just validating you giving you confirmation. Ian the messages I've received have been absolutely beautiful and just so motivating and so moving for me. It's honestly it's confirmation for me that I am where I'm supposed to be and I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. So, thank you all so much. I really do appreciate any feedback you give me so what I first want to get into is fear how our fears control Us and how they can hold us back and how our fears can keep us in survival mode because I feel like what happens is. Our fears have a way of keeping us out of living mode. And I feel like 20 20 is a year of not only so much expansion and growth. But also, I feel like we're going to be pushed to no longer survive but to actually live our lives. And when I talk about all of this, I know that it may trigger some of you. Anytime you're moving out of survival mode into living mode. It can be very triggering and it can bring up a lot of fears and self-limiting beliefs right or things that you learned as a child that helped you survive during your lifetime. We learned so much from our parents if they learn so much from their parents, so There was a lot of like there was. A long time of Simply surviving, but in this day and age we are being pushed and we are ready to live our lives and be more present be more purposeful and mindful. So like I said, it may trigger some of you but I feel like it's it's meant to empower you in the most amazing way. So I'm so grateful that you're here for this ride with me because I went through a lot of that and there are times where I still am going through it like we're in this together. I hope you know that So next. Oh, yes. Okay. It just flew back into my awareness. So what happens when? Fear comes in and it tries to deter us from what we are passionate about or something that we feel called to do all of these what ifs will start to flow through our brain right? Like well what if this person thinks this or what if this happens because I do this or you know, like there's an endless there are endless amounts of possibilities of what Could happen like what's the worst that can happen? And I feel like we're so used to immediately jumping to that. Well, what will this person think or how will this work out? How will I even get there? It's probably not worth it, etc. Etc. But when you are about to do something big when you are about to step outside your comfort zone when you are about to create a significant change in your life, whatever it may be. B it is so normal for fear to creep in it is so normal for all of those what ifs to appear in your awareness. I want you to know that okay. What you're meant to do with that though is to not listen to all of that. Okay, when all of that starts to creep in or like even your inner critic starts to creep in it is a sign that you are facing resistance and you're about to do something big. And so what you're supposed to do is to just keep going to keep pushing through that discomfort and That fear because we never really get over having fears. We practice moving through fear. Okay, so you're never know. You may not ever be a master like a Fearless master who has no fears but as you practice pushing through it and recognizing that resistance as you're moving forward as you're doing something big as your, you know, doing something you feel called to To do you are going to recognize? Oh, this is a sign. This is a sign. I'm about to do something big. I want to share with you a personal example of mine. I'm going to be hosting. Well, actually, I'm collaborating with my amazing business coach Andrea her and I are collaborating and doing our first event in Toronto, which is about five six hours away from where I live and what we're going to be doing is teaching. People how to tap in to their own inner guidance and tune into their own Souls voice. And then she teaches these powerful life changing strategies. She teaches you how to like actually take action and put action behind those. Sorry behind those intuitive insights that you receive. So that's what we're going to be teaching. It's an all-day event and it's going to be life changing. It's going to be Mega powerful and I know this I know this because we Both feeling so aligned with this and with that comes resistance and those what if start creeping in and you know, for example, this is going to be the first time that I am I'm going to Toronto a city that I'm not very familiar with at all. Actually. I'm a small-town girl and You know this includes traveling there this includes being away from my family and then of course, there's other what-ifs, you know, there's feelings of what if I'm not good enough all of that kind of creeps in and I'm saying this because I want you to again acknowledge how normal this is, we all experienced this and a lot of my followers may not realize that I still have that inner critic. Nicht come in and I still have fears. I still have what-ifs coming in and that is normal. The only difference is when all of that comes in to my brain and I get flooded with all of that resistance and those what ifs I peel back those layers and I go back down to the root. And I remind myself of my mission and my purpose and what I'm passionate about and that is the answer. That is my reminder of why I'm doing this and why I'm going to do it despite all of those what ifs and those fears? I'm just going to keep moving forward with it. So I'm sharing this with you guys because I want you to practice this. I want you all to empower yourselves to do the same thing. So just think of something that you really want to do or like something that makes you uncomfortable something you feel called to do something that you know is a part of your purpose or whatever it may be. When you think of it and all of those what ifs come in and all those fears start flooding your brain peel back those layers go back down to the root. Go back down to your mission. What is that? Like, what is it that you desire? Remember that part because you can use that to motivate you to continue to move forward. Ask yourself. How am I here to serve? How am I here to serve others? And how am I meant to show up for others? Okay, because when you focus on service It helps take the all the other junk out of the way. There's there's an expression when you get nervous focus on service. So focus on the why focus on the mission, right go back down to that. How will this impact others? How will what I have to offer impact them. How will it change their lives? How will it improve their lives? All of that is a great way to remind Health to keep going And this could be with anything. This doesn't mean that you have to be a Healer or you know, someone like me like a reader or someone in this field. This could be anyone this if you're a photographer if you are an artist, okay, and you're really afraid of doing something that is outside of your comfort zone, but you feel called to do it remind yourself of how what you have to offer. Will impact people how it'll brighten up their day or make their lives easier in some way pay attention to that part rather than putting so much attention toward what could go wrong. What others will think etc etc. Another thing that I do very often is that if there's something that I know I'm being divinely guided to do. I don't try to control it. I can't I've tried it doesn't work. And that's another area where we often go wrong is that we get this idea. We're like, okay. This is this is what I want to do, but then we try to control it. We tried to control how others will see it how how it's going to turn out how it's going to get there. That's not our job. Our job is to listen to our guidance to pay attention to the signs to honor our truth and our potential and how we are here to serve. That's what we are in control of we don't have control over outcomes and meeting our own crazy expectations or the crazy expectations of others. We are supposed to listen to the messages that we receive the guidance. We receive from our own Souls Voice who already knows the way by the way, your soul already knows the way it is literally a compass that is trying to guide and direct you. And so when we re go selves try to have control over that we're the ones getting in our own way. Okay, this includes the perceptions the ideas and the opinions of other people when we allow their perceptions of things and you know, whatever whatever they're projecting onto you when we allow that to also control us like that is still on us you are making that choice to allow. That to deter you or to slow you down. So it's up to you to make that conscious effort to not listen to that. Okay, because who knows best your soul self and this is why I am always encouraging people to get more deeply connected to their souls voice. This is what my mentorship is about. This is what the event in Toronto like this is what I'm going to be teaching. Okay is is how to get people more connected with their souls voice? Because you know what that is the age that we are going to be living in this is this is where we are moving into this is going to be our new reality is people recognizing their Divine truth how they are here to serve. And that they have their own Oracle their own Compass within them. We all do doesn't matter if you're tapped in or not. Every single person on this planet has their souls voice trying to connect with them trying to speak to them trying to guide them and lead them. so now for 2020 or in a brand new year and in an amazing year at that for so many reasons, but now You get to decide who is the leader of your life? Who are you going to allow to lead your life to control your life? Are you going to make a choice today and tomorrow and the next day? To invest more in yourself or are you going to make a choice to continue to keep up with what others are expecting of you or what, you know the opinions or judgments of other people and how you know, like those have an effect on you. Are you going to allow it to continue to have an effect on you or not? Because this is a choice. You get to choose whether you heal from your past you get to choose whether you want to weather. Whether you are ready or not, that is all a choice. So I'm here to ask you. What choice are you going to make for yourself for your life for your reality for what your soul is wanting from you? Are you going to control or are you going to surrender? And I hope you choose surrender because although it can feel terrifying at times. It is the most powerful and empowering thing that you could do for yourself. Not only for yourself, but for everyone else who's going to be affected by it, when you choose to heal yourself those around you like the people around you begin to heal also because as you raise your own frequency as you raise your own vibration that is affecting other people in a positive way. So just imagine if every single person on this planet took their healing in their own hands became the leaders of their own lives started connecting deeper with their soul. Imagine the outcome. It would be absolutely significant and incredible. Okay. Now for some reason Spirit just pop something into my head. So I'm going to go ahead and share this next part. so I think I've mentioned this before in my first podcast episode my wakening how when we pray or ask for something? Okay. Let's say you're asking for a certain opportunity or certain amount of money, whatever it may be. You will receive. The ingredients the breadcrumbs the guidance to help you achieve that and to help you reach your answered prayers. So it's up to you to make that choice to use those ingredients or to follow those breadcrumbs. Right you pray for cake. The universe gives you the ingredients and that's why I again speak so highly about listening to your inner guidance and following those divinely guided ideas because you don't know where that's going to lead you and if you try to control it. it you're not you're not going to Receive like what like there's a risk here is what I'm trying to say. Like, if you don't follow your inner guidance that you are receiving. You don't follow those breadcrumbs or whatever use those ingredients to make your cake. There is potential here that you're going to miss out or not receive. Okay, so pay attention to your souls voice and remember that your souls voice is always going to be loving positive encouraging helpful. Okay, what your soul is voice is not is negative demeaning. belittling fearful. Okay, so there is a very very big difference here. But what happens is that other voice can be so much louder than our souls voice and that's why in order to hear your souls voice. You need to get away from all the noise. You need to spend time quieting your mind. You need to spend time in nature get away from all the noise allow your souls voice to actually come through for you. Okay, a lot of people think like oh, well, I must not have this gift because you know, I all I hear is the noise all I all I experience is the negative side of of you know that inner voice. But you do have that gift you are connected. You just haven't given it a chance. You haven't quieted your mind and released expectations of how it's going to look and feel for you because it comes through so differently for everybody for every single person on this planet is going to come through differently. So if you actually set the intention that you want to connect with your souls voice you will okay, but you can't. Put pressure on yourself and you can't get frustrated with yourself. You need to Just Surrender and allow by taking that time to close your eyes relax your mind breathe, like actually properly breathe deep nourishing breasts because a lot of people forget how to breathe and a lot of us are so stressed nowadays that we can easily forget to just take a moment to recenter our breath and to tune. With our breath breathing in itself is a key to unlocking your souls voice. Okay. So I hope that by me sharing this that many of you will take initiative and take a moment to either go outside or just spend time in quiet and just allow yourself to relax your body your mind and just listen and pay attention to what's coming through. It might be an emotion. It might be a memory. It might be a past loved one. Okay, and no, you're not making it up. That's the other thing people think that it's got to be like so big and in your face and it's going to be so you're going to be so sure that yes, this is real and this is your intuition talking to you but No, it's going to be gentle and possibly quick and subtle it all depends on what the message is or like what's supposed to come through for you? Or who's supposed to come through for you? Because that's another thing we all have the ability to receive messages from our past loved ones. We all have the ability to connect with them. But so many of us are so busy. We're so busy and we're so over stimulated and we're surrounded by so much noise and stress. So in order for you to tap in you need to Go in to your body and like get away from that noise you need to make time for yourself, you know, like take take a really nice bath and just turn on some light meditation music or something and just close your eyes and breathe and see how nice that feels and then see what comes through for you and it might even just be a word. I don't put super high expectations on your Of don't don't make it harder than it needs to be just allow yourself to be open to receive. Another thing that I'm feeling called to share with you guys is how the universe provides for us in so many significant ways that we don't always recognize and how you know, it can be easy to miss that support that is there and how we are supported and It's time for us to start really recognizing those moments doesn't matter how small or maybe you know, even the big ones but by beginning to recognize even the smallest moments where you are receiving support you are divinely supported something worked out so well for you. you know that that you weren't expecting start to take notice of each of those moments and show gratitude for it because It's proof. It's it's in those moments that is proving to you how supported you are and how you do have the ability to ask for that support. Okay, and you will receive ask and you shall receive right what happens? Is that sometimes we ask for things that are not meant for us or that are not aligned for us or that we are not ready for? And so those are things that you need to recognize within yourself when you don't receive that. Okay, it doesn't mean that you're not supported. It means what do I need to do? so that I can receive that. How can I be more open to receiving How can I Be more in alignment with what it is that I'm asking for because like I said, sometimes we're just we're not there yet. We're not ready yet. We may think that we are but the universe knows best. So if you're asking for something so big and significant, but you aren't motivated and ready to do the work to get there. It's Not just going to magically appear. It's not just going to magically happen and I have so many examples of this of me being like well, what's manifesting? How do we do that? You know I asked for this and I don't get it, you know, I needed five thousand dollars and it didn't show up on my doorstep what's going on? Unfortunately, that's not how it works. And and so this ties in perfectly with what I was saying. An earlier about okay you've asked for this you've prayed for this now follow your inner guidance and you may get this big idea of or even get a vision or whatever. It may be to do something big like maybe opening your own business or Taking a big Leap of Faith with something or collaborating with someone. but if you listen to that fear and you allow resistance to be what stops you then you're not going to receive what you've asked for because you're not willing to meet the universe halfway because that's how it works. We need to meet them halfway. So I hope you can see how all of this is so connected. Okay, I've personally experienced all of this. Like I said, I have so many examples that I could share but when the yeah, there have been so many times where I got so in my head of how something was going to come to me or how something was going to happen. And that's like not at all how it happened. I would try so hard to control the outcome or you know how I was going to get to that or how it was going to come to me, but that's not in my hands. That's not in any of our hands what's in our hands is the In that we take so first we receive then we take action and that's the balance between the masculine energy in the feminine energy. And so in 2020, I do feel like that's another area that so many of us are going to be waking up to is the balance between the masculine and The Feminine and if this is something you're not familiar with so the I'm talking about Energies. Not genders. We all carry within us the Divine masculine energy and the divine feminine energy. And so the Divine masculine energy is The logic action doing okay. It's all like outward. It's giving feminine energy is receiving, you know intuition emotional and being more in your body. It's more of an inward experience. Okay, so you may be able to You know how it's important to have that balance because we're meant to receive our inner guidance. So that means taking a moment to get out of our heads out of our masculine and into our bodies and to our feminine so that we can receive messages from our souls voice and then we need to take that go into our masculine and take action on those. Messages and the guidance that we receive so you need to have that balance of those two energies to really help you. receive that guidance and then put it into action and make it happen. Okay. Now I want to share with you guys what to do if you're feeling stuck because this is something that comes up so often with clients and students and even for myself there's been so many times. Oh my God countless times where I've felt stuck not only in my life, but in my business like where I would be doing everything. Thought I should be doing but I wasn't like there was no outcome. Like nothing was coming of it or things weren't moving quick enough. That is a sign. Okay. So like when when you're feeling stuck that is a sign to reflect and redirect your energy. Okay. So how many times? Have you noticed yourself doing the same thing over and over again to achieve a certain outcome? Okay. How many times has that worked for you? How's it worked out by doing by going about it the same way expecting a different outcome. That in itself is a clear sign that you need to reflect and redirect your energy. It's a sign that something needs to change the way you're going about. It needs to change your outlook on it. Whatever it may be so. Let me bring you back to October October 2019. I hit a block and I was really really confused by it. I wasn't getting any I wasn't making any sales. I wasn't receiving any new ideas or or downloads or anything. Like I honestly just felt like I had no sense of direction. I didn't understand the point of what I was doing and It's like I just felt like I was stuck and I was waiting for something magical to happen. That wasn't happening. So I went about two weeks of just this really quiet period and it was really hard for me to just sit in that space because I'm very much an Aries and I love to work and I love to be busy and I find it really hard to take breaks into rest. And so this was a very significant time for me, too. Get out of my masculine and go into my feminine, too. figure out okay, how Like what? What am I doing wrong? Or like how do I need to or where do I need to redirect my energy? That was the question like I needed to drop in right tune in and go into my feminine and ask like, okay, where do I need to redirect my energy? So I did that. And I received information that I didn't even I didn't even know like it wasn't even on my radar. Okay, like I didn't even I feel like I didn't even have hints to it. But when I came through it made so much sense. I was like, oh my God, that's what it is. I you know, I need to do this and it had to do with my business and me needing to really ground and Route my business so that it could really flourish. Okay, so there were some steps that I hadn't taken that I needed to take in order for this to happen. And to be honest. It was a really terrifying experience for me. Not only because it was just such a big step that I was being asked to take but I also had some past life memories and feelings come. being up at the same time that I was able to recognize so I moved through a lot to follow that guidance, but I'm so glad that I did because as soon as I did everything started moving forward and like amazing thing started happening in all this other stuff started flowing my way, and I'm so grateful now that I had that period of being Stuck, you know, and we're never really stuck. you know, we're never forgotten about those are just our our cues to go Inward and reflect and ask and receive and when we do receive Then it's time for us to take action and that's exactly what I did and that to me. It was all the proof I needed to trust and listen to what's coming through and where I'm being guided and what I'm being guided to do and since then now anytime I'm like, oh I need some guidance. I need some direction I go inward. And I receive it and I trust it and I really really surrender to it and I never know what it's going to look like. I never know what the outcome is going to be or what it's going to yeah, like I already said that what it's going to look like more emphasis on you. Don't know what it's going to look like, but if you just trust okay. Then you can trust that the outcome will be. Empowering or magical or positive or whatever it may be it's going to get you closer to your goal. and it is totally possible that when you decide to reflect to redirect your energy because you're feeling stuck in the way you're doing things is not working or hasn't been working and never worked before or maybe it did work before but you're not the same person now right like You can't expect to keep doing the same thing. And like be this different version of you and it to work the same or it too feel the same. Okay, so where was I going with that? Oh, yes. Okay. So it is 100% possible that when you go inward. You're going to receive guidance that you've already felt nudged to do or like something that has been repeated through the mouths of others. It could be something you've already received so many signs of or even something that came up for you a long time ago that you never did. And this is because they're trying to tell you you've already been receiving the guidance, but you haven't done it yet. So there's something else that they're something that you're missing here. There's something else that you're supposed to be doing or something else that you haven't done yet. And that is the key. That is the missing piece and that's how you're going to get unstuck. Okay. So anytime you're feeling stuck remember? Reflect and redirect your energy that is your cue. That is your sign. So one last thing that I'm feeling called to share that aligns with everything else. I've shared in this episode that I'm honestly kind of baffled by and really surprised by because I I'm just honestly Amazed by how everything just kind of flows and I just want to remind you that we're in this together. Okay, like for those of you who listen to my first episode, you know, that speaking isn't something that was easy for me and it was actually a huge fear of mine and look at like I can't even believe how quickly I've been able to speak and to have zero. Like previous knowledge of what this episode was going to be about I've been able to speak so quickly and to share so much in a shorter amount of time and I'm like, okay, this is weird. Why is this so easy? But like I'm recognizing this in this moment with you guys right now because I want you to see Like just how much I've been able to grow in. This is now three episodes Okay, so the first you know my first episode it was so uncomfortable for me to share and I was so resistant and it took so many takes and yeah, I struggled with it and you know, I wasn't 100% pleased with the outcome, but I knew I knew I had to share it. Anyways didn't matter how it made me feel I had to share it and then my second episode. I noticed how much easier it was. I had an idea already of okay. Yeah, I'm going to go into the records. I'm going to Channel about 2020. I'm going to Channel about January and I'm gonna you know, give like a energy forecast. But then I remember how the rest of that episode was all just whatever was meant to come through came through and I was already just so much happier with that episode and then it's so weird because when I started this one. I like I received guidance that okay, you're going to do it today and you're going to share it on the 6th of January and it doesn't ever make sense to me when I receive that type of guidance, but I'm not supposed to make sense of it. I think it's just us being humans that want to make sense of everything which Is understandable, right? We are humans. So anyways, I was like, okay, I guess I'm recording an episode today. And I don't know what the heck I'm gonna be talking about but I'm just gonna do it anyways, and so here we are. I did it and I'm like it. Like I said, I'm just kind of mind blown that it's happened this way, but I want you all to Oh this because we're in this together. We're on this journey together. We are growing together and you can experience this type of growth. You just have to push past the discomfort and you you know, you have to be uncomfortable for a little while. You have to push past fears and do it. Anyways right that I've spoken about that before I feel the fear, but I do it anyway. Anyways, and it's so empowering when you're on the other side of it and that's something like that's my biggest wish for you all to experience is what's on the other side of fear. You all deserve to experience that and that was such a huge lesson for me in 2019 is was you know. Getting those ideas pushing through this year and experiencing. What was on the other side of that? I pushed my limits. I pushed my own boundaries and push through blocks and I realized how Limitless we truly are if we allow ourselves to be so I love that this episode is being launched at the beginning of January of you know, a brand new month a brand new year a brand new decade. There's a reason for this there's no coincidence here that this is what I am being called to to share and this is what you're all needing to hear because that's another thing. I always set the intention that I'm going to be talking about what my listeners are needing to hear. So I hope that this helps you so much and I do realize now that I've said all of this that there was another point to this like to what I wanted to say. But to be honest now, I cannot remember whatsoever what that thing was that I was going to say. So perhaps it wasn't meant to be said, but I was meant to share what I just did. So I'm just going to leave it like that and thank you all so so much for joining me for another episode of this podcast. I'm so grateful for you all and I do plan on On making you know, like the little jingle or like the opening part of a podcast. I'm going to be making one. I just it hasn't felt right yet or it hasn't felt like the time just yet, but I am going to be working on that. So hopefully for the next episode I'll have one ready. Other than that you guys know that I'm just so grateful for you and I love you so much.

In this episode I speak more about 2020 and how we are moving away from SURVIVAL and being asked to move into LIVING mode. You will learn what to do when fears and "what if's" appear and what it means, how to get yourself UN-Stuck if you're feeling stuck (which is one of the most common themes that I've come across with clients) and where we can go wrong when we receive Divinely guided ideas. I share about fear and resistance and my own personal experience with it along with how to move through it. I go more deeply into how you can receive your own messages and the balance between the masculine and feminine energies within us. Everything shared in this episode was truly Divinely guided and meant for my listeners to help you all where you are at and to help empower you for this expansive year we have ahead of us. If this episode inspires you and helps you in some way, please share it and tag me @risewithnatashia!
