The Modern Sage Podcast

Do you take things personally? It's a hard pattern to break as, of course, our lives are our personal responsibility, and when we engage with others and the world. When we take things personally that are not personal, we suffer. Do you get offended easily? Do your feelings get hurt easily? Do you struggle with insecurities that you will not be chosen? Taking things personally serves to perpetuate the fears that we are unworthy and that we need validation of our worth from the external world. It's a trap. Free yourself! Thanks for listening!

Inspired by a quote from Spirit Rock run by Jack Kornfield: "May our hearts stay open in the storm. May our voices speak for what is just. May our hands extend in generousity. May our presence be a refuge." It's tough times out there. Really tough. I don't know one person who isn't overwhelmed. Heartbroken. Angry. Afraid. This podcast is to remind each of us what we can do, even when we feel powerless. It's about how energy works. How much of an impact we can have when we learn how to keep our hearts open, and become a refuge, and emit a frequency and love out into the world. A refuge for others, and also for ourselves. A safe space to pray. To love. To anchor. To remember who we are. To remember the power that we have. You are a soul with a frequency of truth, love, peace, and connection. We have to connect there and use the power that we have for good. Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!

This is a conversation between two friends - one, Louie Ayala, a digital creator who uses AI regularly and the other, Leah Guy, a spiritualist who's opposed (and a little afraid) of AI. We discuss several angles and argue the interests and concerns about the growing increase and take-over of artificial intelligence in our current world. The love-hate relationship is true for many of us, and this conversation contemplates the values of AI support and how to stay grounded and continue to grow your own senses if you choose to become a user/fan of AI. * Hearing vs listening * Adding to collecting conscious, resourcing higher consciousness from the collective * The pros and cons of including AI in your work, and how to secure your job * Creative inspiration vs stealing/cheating * Taking resources from the planet vs adding resources to the collective And much more...If you are challenged with using AI, ethically or know-how, or feel concerned about it the impact on the world, take a listen and let it inspire you.

Its' a New Year and new energies are afloat. As we make our way into a new cycle, I want us to consider how to be more alive. I know that may sound strange seeing as we are alive now, but many of us are moving through life with a torch of fear. Fears show up in many ways - anxieties, worries, phobias...but all fear is connected to the ultimate fear - the fear of death. Even if you are not afraid of dying, listen in on how fear controls our lives and relationships and what we can do to have a difference experience of reality. Think: meeting your higher self. Being connected to Spirit. Integrating beliefs. I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year, and thanks for tuning in! Thanks for listening!

Who isn't overwhelmed these days? The world is overloading each of us with negative events, or telling us what to do differently in our lives, people preaching, complaining, arguing online... plus the demands and pressures of work, our families, our lives. It's too much. I want to invite us to remember the power we have over our lives. That we can control much of our lives, even when it feels we cannot. We can be still. We can practice quiet moments and find a strength and light inside. We can choose to create healthy boundaries and keep ourselves in a more balanced state. Today, especially during the holidays and New Year, can you make this choice for yourself? Can you let yourself soak in the quiet and find the soothing rhythm of your heartbeat, the stirring energy of the wind, and the grounded presence of your own nature? I'll meet you there. In love and spirit, Leah Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!
