Inner Work 265: Dismantling Harmful Power Dynamics in Akashic Record Readings (and Healing Work Overall)

2/21/2026
Often unknowingly, many Akashic Record readers and practitioners are breaking ethical guidelines and perpetuating harmful power dynamics in the reader-client relationship. This is not only harmful to the people we're here to serve, but also prevents readers and healers from doing the highest-level, transformative, impactful work they're really here to do. Let's change this! I believe strongly in RAISING the standards of ethics and professionalism in our spiritual and healing communities, so we can do better both for ourselves and for our clients.

Inner Work 263: 3 Mindset Shifts to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

2/7/2026
Do you struggle with imposter syndrome? This syndrome has been defined as a "persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately earned as a result of one's own efforts, talents, skills, or gifts." I would also describe imposter syndrome as an ongoing feeling or belief that you're inadequate, not worthy, not good enough, and/or a "fraud" who's about to be find out. Living with this kind of belief or negative undercurrent in your life can be painful. It can be paralyzing. It can keep you hidden away and playing small to avoid potential rejection, criticism, or judgment. It also keeps you on edge, hypervigilant, anxious about how others are evaluating your performance or presence in the world... or evaluating your very worth and value as a person. I can relate, because I struggled with imposter syndrome most of my adult life. It first reared its ugly head during my academic career many years ago, and stayed with me as I transitioned out of academia to do full-time spiritual work. (Building a business from scratch - with NO business training or skills whatsoever! - and stepping out of the "spiritual closet" to do this work were not easy... I made many mistakes... which only fueled the already-existing imposter syndrome.) Through a lot of inner work, especially in the Akashic Records, I've been able to shift my relationship to imposter syndrome to a degree where it no longer holds me back. It doesn't derail or prevent me from doing my work in the world, or showing up online, or teaching, or being vulnerable with others. And, just as important, it no longer keeps me from ENJOYING my work fully! Based on my own struggles and what I've found helps, I want to offer you 3 powerful mindset reframes in this episode of INNER WORK that will hopefully support you in moving beyond imposter syndrome as well. Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance.

As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.

INNER REVOLUTION: 20 - Honoring our wounds but not making them our whole identity

12/7/2025
Learning to fully honor and grieve our hurts, wounds, and unhelpful patterns is SO important for genuine healing and growth.

If you're here to raise consciousness on this planet... (Akashic Records Workshop coming up!)

11/8/2025
If you're here to raise the level of consciousness on this planet, you know there's NO time to waste. When we look out into the world, we see so much fear, conflict, noise, confusion. People seeking to find their way back to themselves, to their higher purpose, to WHY they're really here. People waking up and really needing support to navigate their awakening. As Lightworkers, we're here to assist with this process of evolutionary unfolding and spiritual awakening, each of us in our own way. We can't contribute powerfully to this collective raising of consciousness if WE ourselves are getting confused, distracted by the noise, stuck in our own heads or fear or self-doubt, or triggered by the same old patterns, people, and situations. As a direct line to Divine Source, the Akashic Records can support us in staying connected to the LIGHT, to Higher Truth, to Higher Wisdom… at all times. Regardless of what's going on around us, or on the news, or in the outside world. More than ever before, we need a helping hand (and all the support we can get!) to stay connected to what's real and what's true, beyond the collective noise & fear out there. The Akashic Records can serve as an unwavering companion, ally, and Divine support for you – as they have for me for the past 21 years. The Records can serve as a source of Higher Wisdom and healing in your life, and in the lives of anyone you touch. I'd be honored to guide you in developing this kind of connection to the Akashic Records and learning how to use them effectively for personal healing, guidance, and alignment. This is exactly what we'll be doing in my Akashic Records Intensive 3-week workshop, coming up in December 2025. If the Akashic Records have been calling you, and you're ready to step into your next level of purpose, clarity, and expansion... ... please send a note to me@josephinehardman.com to indicate your interest. I'll send you all the details! Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Inner Work 2025 All Rights Reserved.
