Voice Nodes17. A Transgendered God In the Christian Church?!DISCLAIMER: This is entirely a working theory. I am a work in progress in my education of unlearning gender terms. If I have misstepped, do tell me.
Today's episode is a short and sweet musing about how the Christian faith unknowingly prescribes to a transitioned God. As the creator of all life, we would assume God has female reproductive anatomy – a uterus – or that which houses and grows all human life. Yet, devoted followers of Christianity refer to God ONLY as he/him.
I very much believe in a non-binary God, but since dogmatic faiths tend...2022-08-0105 min
Voice Nodes16. A Season of Confronting My BDSM BeliefsThis episode has been knocking at the door of my psyche for the past week – ever since I finished Paul Coelho's Eleven Minutes and began unpacking my thoughts on the subject matter. This season in my life is not one of experience but one of confronting my own thoughts on BDSM.
I used to pride myself on being the type of lover who would never say no to trying new things, but rather reply with "not yet". In this past month, I have been confronting that belief, as I have unintentionally entered a season of BDSM. It st...2022-06-1930 minVoice Nodes15. How My Intuition WorksHappy Sunday,
I knew I had to record this episode because my inner knowing was so clear and immediate that someone needs to hear this – or maybe I just needed to hear myself. I talk about the popularity of Clairvoyance (see images) and Clairaudience (hearing voices) as the expectation and default for being intuitive, and how I receive messages differently. I give the example of how I chose the wrong colour of journal for my business and that my inner knowing was relentless that it had to be green instead of periwinkle. I receive information from my in...2022-05-2227 minVoice Nodes14. Workplace Bullsh*tI CAN'T STAND IT! Super fired up today, probably related to eclipse season and all other fuckery in the cosmos.
Synopsis: I recently finished a few shifts on a film set where I was IMMEDIATELY reminded how some industries/companies have leaders who avoid taking personal responsibility and use performance reviews to hide their own inadequacies.
In this share, I go to town on how "underperformance" isn't real, and how it is used by managers who have not properly trained or clearly communicated their expectations. I also break down the responsibilities the employee has when th...2022-04-2631 minVoice Nodes13. The Power of a PurgeThis was my third go at recording this message and in it, you'll hear why.
Recently I have questioned my process as a creator because I so lovingly believe(d) in the power of just getting it out there that I rarely took the time to finesse or value what it was that I created. I discovered that my worth is impacted by this belief and that in order to create something with value and true impact, I need to take myself and what I create seriously. I now see that I was devaluing my words, my...2022-03-1120 minVoice Nodes12. Evolution Is the Fluidity of Free WillThis idea came to me today and it is currently marinating. I wholeheartedly believe the evolution of human consciousness is the radical acceptance, belief, and practice of fluid free will.
What does this mean? It means that at any given moment we can change who others know us to be without judgment, explanation, or permanence. In this share, I give the example of how far we have collectively come in my short lifetime of 33 years orbiting the sun. In some places in the world, we are no longer limited to the binary. Meaning we can change our...2022-01-1213 minVoice Nodes11. Confidence vs. Sense of SelfThis has been an orbiting concept that regularly visits my consciousness. By no means do I have it figured out. In the days since recording this, it has become clear to me that a frustration and resistance I have within myself is that my inner sense of self is not reflected in my outer confidence. This has been an ongoing shadow and refusal to admit that my rounded shouldered posture affects how I show up in the world.
I think maybe the true "goal" or natural way of being is when the two align. Also, I'm big...2021-12-1714 minVoice Nodes10. Old Age Isn't GuaranteedIn this share, I explore a theme that's been repeatedly on my mind this past week. It is the assumption that we will die of old age and it just isn't true. If we think of how many friends, relatives, people on the news, and others who have died "too soon" of "before their time" – we realize that our language and our beliefs perpetuate the guarantee of old age – and that there is no incarnation that promises such a lifetime.
Hopefully, without being too depressing, I wonder about how I would show up differently in each moment, how...2021-11-2013 minVoice Nodes9. Allowing Anxiety to Illuminate Past LivesLast week I put out another Episode 8 and somehow it felt wrong. At the time I didn't get it. I had received repeated visions of using my throat and I really felt like I had to share on this platform. After recording it I felt out of integrity, so I deleted it.
This week, I've revisited the initial concept of Karmic Anxiety but in a different context. I think one day I will record another share about romantic attachments and how even if in a second, we can connect on a soul level and feel that sense...2021-11-1233 minVoice Nodes9. Karmic Anxiety (?)Happy Wednesday :)2021-11-0432 minVoice Nodes8. Cancel Culture and The BacheloretteOh boy, where do I even start with this one?! I have been a little confused as to where to take Voice Nodes – and what it ultimately wants to be. In my state of limbo, both with this platform of expression and in general in my life, I have begun to lean into anger as both a teacher and an outlet. The share is about something I witnessed on ABC's The Bachelorette (Season 17) that mimicked something I experienced recently in one of my friendships, and one that resurfaced a buried trauma from with my first love.
My ove...2021-08-0733 minVoice Nodes7. Auras, Celebrities and a Mystical Jesus with Allie BerryWelcome to Voice Nodes :D
Finally, it's here!!! My first share with a guest turned friend who I discovered on Instagram and then properly met in this episode. Her name is Allie Berry, an Aura Priestess, the host of her new podcast Spirit Goodies, and an all-around inspiring intuitive who says it like it is. She is an absolute source of wisdom on the tradition of Priestesses, how money amplifies who we are, and discovering a mystical Jesus.
Quick disclaimer, this was my first time doing the audio on a different platform and it wasn't...2021-06-141h 09Voice Nodes6. The Energetics of Pyramid SchemesWelcome to Voice Nodes :)
This share is personal and filled with rage, but delivered concisely and without aggression. It is definitely worth a lesson for anyone who has been invited into a "social economy" by a friend or family member; otherwise known as a pyramid scheme.
I have recently been presented with an invitation to one and it took me to a very dark place in the questioning of my beliefs and practices. This particular one cultivates a community of wellness/intuitive female practitioners looking to launch themselves in the space. I go into my...2021-06-0346 minVoice Nodes5. Let It Be, Let It LiveWelcome to Voice Nodes :)
Oh boy! I really had a doozy with my intuition over whether or not I should share this recording. As I mentioned in Episode 4: Can't Go Over It, Can't Go Under It I really felt the need to do a retake and tap more into my feelings after recording this share. Get embodied and share from my face, because that's where I was feeling the energy percolating. I did a take two, was feeling it and then that night I felt compelled to take action on something I shared in this episode. The...2021-05-0739 minVoice Nodes4. Can't Go Over It, Can't Go Under ItWelcome to Voice Nodes :)
This time when I went to record a Voice Nodes share and I was preparing to upload it, I got the message that I avoided my feelings. So I did take two. In this audio share, I express what’s weighing on me today. I woke up with some heavy existential questions and really wondered who I am “supposed” to be, in the eyes of destiny’s plan. With less navigation and flow this is my imperfect reflection of today. In it, it includes:
My experience and witnessed outcome of conviction and self-wor...2021-05-0737 minVoice Nodes3. Learning to See In the DarkWelcome to Voice Nodes :)
I knew from a meeting with the spirit of Voice Nodes, a drapey goddess of Kuan Yin colours and energy that I would be talking about my struggles to actualise my dream of moving to Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. I had HUGE reluctance because I hate repeating myself and I am tired of justifying why I have not taken action on a goal that is seemingly easy to accomplish. This share deep dives the Dark Nights of our lives that offer us the opportunity to cultivate new patterns and new outcomes...2021-04-1852 minVoice Nodes2. Taking Off The Fox SuitWelcome to Voice Nodes :)
After last week, it became abundantly clear that this share is not what about what I have gone through, or passing along experiential knowledge, but rather a shared experience of the now. From today onwards this journey is a present invitation to explore and make space for what is needed now. In thought, I realised to give word to past experiences is to live in the past and to fuel imposter syndrome through a means of proving. So join me, in this share and from here on out where I am venturing forward...2021-04-1146 minVoice Nodes1. My Throat: A Gift Wrapped as a CurseWelcome to my first share of VOICE NODES!!!
In this episode I step into my shadow as public speaker by launching this podcast. I talk a little bit about my approach and beliefs around starting this, and spend much of our time together deep diving my own personal journey with my throat. I found myself wanting to share so much about the chakras, colour meanings and the elements, how this shows up in intimacy, and many other tangents I could have went off in but instead I tried my best to stick to my past.

TK with James Scott: A Writing, Reading, & Books PodcastWhitney Scharer & Stuart WilsonBack in episode 47, Whitney Scharer discussed the incredible sale of her debut, THE AGE OF LIGHT, and now, she and James discuss the actual novel, which depicts the relationship between Lee Miller and May Ray. They talk about creating fictional characters from real people, when she had her "Aha!" insight into Lee's psyche, cultural movements, Boston apartment hopping, and, of course, what you call a butt.
