Real talk: can the spiritual path actually make life HARDER? (For a significant period of time at least?) 

"I don't want this to be my life, but it is my life" is not a phrase often associated with the usual 'high vibes' of awakening and union, but it is one you will hear in this episode!

This is not a discussion about the joys of following your bliss, your true north, or the road to authentic success. It's not an exploration of the benefits of raised frequencies or magical manifestation.

This is an extremely honest exchange about some realities of surrender that we don't hear about very often and we welcome you to it with open hearts.

In love and trust always,

A & L

Welcome to Season 3 of TLE!

Liz and Amy return to dive deep into their shared experiences of the spiritual path that aren't often discussed openly - experiences that can be intensely challenging. 

In this episode they ask: 

"When the path has become intensely difficult, what is the benefit of spirituality anyway? What is it all really FOR?" 

And the answers that arise are surprising! 

For anybody navigating the unglamorous realities of surrendering the self to Life, welcome. We feel you - and we walk with you. 

In Love, 

A & L

Finally, we discover what happens when you dare to question everything...

You find yourself so emptied of certainty, you are opened to the Unknowable.

This is a conversation that takes a completely unexpected turn and captures a spontaneous healing experience. It is a testament to the powerful and transformational forces of Nature we can all be conduits for when we're no longer clinging.

We share this in Trust and Love,

A & L

Why do some of us naturally go upward when we go inward, while others spiral downward?

What is wisdom worth if you have to experience so much discomfort to gain it?

Ok, we choose to live what we believe and we find ourselves 'beyond the known'...but then what?

These questions and more...

With Love,

A & L

This conversation questioned fate, then hope, then everything.

It continued on for several days (episodes 22 and 23) - and ended up changing everything.

We can only hope a morsel of the impact it had on us is preserved in these recordings and offers you something special too. Thank you so much for joining us on this wild, experimental/experiential ride.

With Love,

This is a little morsel that we just couldn't let hit the cutting room floor. A brief peek into the difference between pleading with life for something that you want, and trusting that Life is already providing everything you need (like it or not). 

Love, 

A & L

What is grace, exactly? And how does it relate to fear?

What is fear, for that matter? And how does it relate to love (and romantic reality tv!)?

From giving up, enfolding in, and coming out - this unformed conversation ends up forming the breeding ground for a multitude of insights that all circle back to freedom.

With all our Love,

"Decisions make themselves." Is that true? And, if so, what are really choosing?

This conversation began with a spark of curiosity about the above statement, and took us on a wild ride through big life decisions, the call of our destiny, and the truly awesome power of our awareness (aka 'manifestation'). It's, um, HUGE.

So many ideas were clarified as we talked, and we hope it turns some lights on in you too.

For nothing more than the joy of sharing, and with nothing but love,

"Where did the wild bits go? When did we become so complicit in forsaking our wild nature? For what? For who? How do you find the wild? HOW?"

And with that, Amy sparked this powerhouse conversation - which is as raw and rich and wild as they come.

Enjoy!

With Love,

Clues. Signs. Signals. This time, we sat down to discuss all the ways Life communicates with us, how we receive answers to our questions, and how best to interpret their meanings.

We thought we would simply explore the things we look to for direction ourselves, but - as is always the case with our very raw, ‘fly-on-the-wall’ chats - this one takes us to some unexpectedly beautiful places (not the least of which is humility!?) and ultimately reassures us that every moment is a message, that even the most mundane paths are sacred, and that you can never be off-track, lost or forgotten (no matter how it may feel). In essence, you can’t turn Life’s messaging system off - you are actually living it into being - it’s simply a case of whether you listen to It or not.

We hope you enjoy.

With All Our Love,

Amy & Liz

Ok, so, we made an unofficial sequel to our 'Finding Meaning' episode (Ep. 14) without...um...meaning to.

It turns out there was more to explore in relation to the value of our own current experiences of traffic jams and anti-climaxes: where, exactly, is the meaning of our lives in the bits that are just plain boring, or downright disappointing? 

Neither of us had any idea where this conversation would take us, but we ended up landing right in the very heart of it All. We hope you find something to treasure in it too.

 With All Our Love,

This little out-take offers a way of conceptualising our own personal sense of 'sovereignty'. Rather than it coming from an attempt at ruling our lives from the personality level (which can seem an impossible task from within our current systems and templates!), it is sourced from our higher aspect - the part of us that already holds all we need for our full expression, and is not restricted by any of the limitations we perceive 'here on the ground'. 

Do you find yourself comparing your life to one that seems so much 'better' or 'easier'? Does your distance from the 'ideal life' cause you frustration? Is your path through or to your 'best life' leaving you feeling unfulfilled and lacking in meaning?

No, this is not an infomercial (but it could be!?). This is a humble offering of another way to look at your life in relation to 'the way it's supposed to go' - in the hope it reconnects you with the reason you're here, and lures you into loving your own path (whichever way it goes).

 This conversation was a gift to each other that we now share with you. Welcome and enjoy (and please forgive the slight audio imperfections of this recording! face-palm-emoji).

 With All Our Love,

 Amy & Liz

Can accepting what is be compatible with wanting something other? 

This chat is about the tension that exists between contentment and desire. How do we really manifest what we want when it feels so far away? And, if we're loving what is, why do we still want more? 

Ultimately, this is a conversation about how life works (aka Grace) and we hope it offers you something interesting to take into your own exploration of wish fulfilment!

It turns out our last conversation about money birthed a follow-up we didn't expect - but we're so glad it did!

Do you feel as limited by the demands of money as you feel liberated by its gifts?

SAME.

In this conversation, we explore money from a completely different perspective and it feels pretty amazing! If you are interested in reframing money for a wider, deeper view, this episode may offer you some juicy food for thought. We certainly hope so.

Is magic a thing? Where can we find it? And can it help us live more liberating lives?

Liz is betting her life on the existence of magic and this chat takes place as the roulette wheel slows to a very nerve-wracking halt. 

This turns out to be very rich ground for exploring the genius and beauty of our true nature that seems to ask only one thing of us for its initiation as a productive force in our lives: 

Effortlessness.

(Yikes?!)

Thank you so much for joining us - we hope you find it interesting!

Is empowerment the world's biggest case of mistaken identity?

(After God/Source/Life, that is...;-)

Obviously, we all want to feel fully empowered all of the time, but we live in a certain kind of world, so...um...how exactly? 

Power is in dire need of a loving restoration right now and this episode is our prayer for the true empowerment of every single human (and therefore every living thing). It explores the fascinating relationship between spirit, power, freedom and money - we hope you find it interesting.

This is Part 2 of a unique discussion about feminine and masculine energies.

The conversation as a whole draws on intuition, archetypes, books, and even a  profound dream (!) to distill feminine and masculine aspects down to their purest states:

- masculine as formlessness; and
- feminine as the embodiment of that formlessness

It changes the game in terms of union, balance and harmony, and leads both of us to reframe our entire orientation on how life is designed to work! We hope you enjoy...

Liz and Amy explore a different perspective on the balancing of feminine and masculine energies and it's so huge, it needs two parts.

This conversation as a whole draws on intuition, archetypes, books and even a  profound dream to distill feminine and masculine aspects down to their purest states:

One of the world's most commonly asked questions: "What's my life's purpose?"

One of the the world's least commonly asked questions: "Can I trust channelled wisdom to help guide me to my purpose?" 

But it's Liz's question nevertheless! Because her exhaustive and closely guided search to a real sense of purpose appears to be leading her, not just nowhere, but into a very daunting ditch indeed! So, who exactly is giving this 'guidance' anyway?

We jump into this chat with a discussion of one of the world's most widely read and highly regarded channelled works, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch (again!) to explore how we feel when something 'rings True' - regardless of its source - and we end up deep-diving into many a wondrous thing. (Note: you don't need to have read any of the CwG books to enjoy the juice in this conversation, but you might want to by the time you're done!)

This is a conversation about how we attempt to control the way the world knows us. It's also a conversation about how we come to know ourselves when events (e.g. babies!) dissolve all the carefully curated bits.

Who are you when the masks slip off? What if the traits you try to water down or paper over are in fact the most potent parts of you? How do you get to the truth of who you really are anyway?

It's...BIG. 

And, yes, it's also proof we need to use better microphones - we're on a learning curve! Thank you so much for joining us on this intrepid journey...

Ok, so we sat down to talk about something else entirely, but our pre-discussion debrief ended up becoming the discussion itself - and we just went with the flow! There was no obvious start to the topic so you arrive right in the heart of it: emotions.

We explore:
- why we've zipped emotions up and how they leak out;
- making space for emotions (as mothers, in particular!);
- healing what's present; and
- allowing the whole dam lot (pun intended).

This is a particularly raw recording and we apologise for its imperfect quirks, but we sense the potent healing quality of this episode justifies the audio quality! We hope you can feel its light.

With All Our Love,

Whoa. We set out to explore the 'ask and you shall receive' principle (with regards to clarity) but end up in a conversation that goes so deep into the power of uncertainty, you can actually hear us transforming as it evolves. 

As two people living 'life-sized trust exercises' and therefore well acquainted with uncertainty, we draw on experiences and insights that highlight: 

• the various ways clarity are accessed and received;
• how our deepest truths are trying to be born through us; 
• what we can do to make way for knowing; and 
• why the discomfort of the uncertainty is well and truly worth it.

"I feel like one of the answers to the I'm receiving direct from the Universe regarding [my longstanding uncertainty] is this conversation." [Liz]

Amy's life seems to be careering out of control (pardon the pun) and Liz can full-body relate.  They ask, how can we come to trust life when it's not going to plan? What does life really want with us if it doesn't seem to care what we  want? And, what would actually happen if we just...let...go...?

This candid conversation deep-dives into aspects of surrender, meditation, faith, presence and patience, until arriving at a place of peace and acceptance. "It's HUGE, babe."

As each other's 'spiritual sounding board', we've been having discussions like this regularly for a really long time - we just thought we'd start recording and sharing them in case they might be helpful to others. It's not a polished podcast - it's just two friends shooting the sh*t!

With Love,
