    Breaking Through Income + Business Stagnation: The Power of Energetic Decision-Making

    Breaking Through Income + Business Stagnation: The Power of Energetic Decision-Making

    To get out of stagnation and the in-between as a coach, I teach a simple concept that will create momentum in your business.

    (And when I say in-between, I mean that you have reached a certain level of success in your business, but now you feel like you are stagnant/plateauing in business growth, and you want to break through to that next level).

    ANYWHOSIZZLE.

    A concept I teach my clients to break through to the next chapter of creating more income, clients, and creativity, and entering into a new season of business and life is that you have to make an energetic decision.

    YEP — To literally call in your next version of your business + life starts with making a decision. Can you believe?!?!

    But an energetic decision is different than just making a decision.

    In today's podcast episode of Real Talk with Regan, I break down the entire concept. Inside this short episode, I discuss what this looks like, the results it has created, and why I designed it specifically for coaches who feel like they are in a season of being stuck or stagnant but are ready to change that ASAP.

    Alrighty, go tune in!!


    P.S. If you didn't know, I am launching a brand new program: The Metamorphosis Mastermind. This is a 6-month program designed for coaches who find themselves in a transitional phase – not beginners, but not where they envisioned being in their coaching business. Inside this program, you will implement coaching + concepts that will create momentum not only inside your coaching business but also in your life. The cart officially opens on October 31, 2023.

    October 2023 Astrology Forecast: At A Crossroads

    October 2023 Astrology Forecast: At A Crossroads

    We're continuing our monthly astrology series and looking at the astrology of October 2023. HOW ARE WE ALREADY IN OCTOBER???

    The theme for this month is "At A Crossroads" - so we're breaking down the idea of "crossroads" in some really intricate ways, because it's a common theme in mythology and folklore across many cultures. October is basically like one giant crossroads moment. Where will you choose to go from here? 

    We're not going to sugarcoat it: October has a lot going on. You might say it'll feel pretty "heated" because the "Via Combusta" (AKA the "fiery road") is getting activated by a ton of planetary alignments. We're telling you what the Via Combusta means and how it's being activated throughout the month. Between two eclipses (a New Moon Eclipse in Libra and a Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus), five (count them, five!) planets changing signs, and Pluto finally ending its long retrograde...there's a lot of cosmic action going on and we're ready to share it all with you.

    How are you feeling about October? Are there any celestial events or astrological alignments that you're particularly eager to experience?

    If you're hearing this episode, congratulations: you survived the alleged rapture that was supposed to happen on September 23, 2023. Which means you're here just in time to be present for the alleged catastrophe that will be caused by the Emergency Broadcast System coming up on October 4.

    We're breaking down some hot new conspiracies making the rounds on the internet (TikTok). Plus, we discuss the "What About Me?!" epidemic taking society by storm. Also, the 'negative' stance too many people (cough cough Gen Z cough cough) are placing on the concept of healing.

    The Spirituality of Friendship

    The Spirituality of Friendship

    In this week's episode, we're breaking down the meaning of friendship. It might seem like a light and fluffy subject on the surface, but as with all of our topics, this subject manages to go much deeper than you might expect. 

    We are social creatures. No matter how independent you think you might be, connectivity with others -- especially having quality friends -- is wildly important. Friendship is more than a quick fix for your desire to socialize. It's a necessary experience that's embedded within us as humans. The wrong friends can literally have a harmful impact on your DNA. But what about the right friends? What even is a good friend? How many friends can you feasibly have? How do you choose who's in you inner circle and who isn't? 

    Quality friendships have impacts on our social, emotional and even physical health. In fact, your ability to survive a heart attack depends more on the quality of your friendships than smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Friendship is a special kind of connection that deserves your time and energy, but many of us simply don't know how to create or nurture those connections -- or how to break up with the friends who no longer fit in our lives.

    The Serendipity Sessions: Life's a Hurricane

    The Serendipity Sessions: Life's a Hurricane

    In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we’re talking about hurricanes. Not only the historic (and weirdly underwhelming) Hurricane Hilary that recently took Los Angeles by storm (no pun in tended), but also the feeling of a hurricane. The hurricanes we go through in life, the ways we become hurricanes ourselves, the beauty of getting swept up by something or someone, the purpose of feeling dispersed and scattered... And the need to let go of the damage that's been done so we can truly appreciate what we're left with in the end. 

    Ryan is fresh off his own hurricane as he records this after a saucy & sleepless night. Megan, an East Coast hurricane veteran, is well rested and provides super relevant tips for surviving hurricanes (both real and metaphorical).

    About The Serendipity Sessions:
    We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.

    Coins & Consciousness: Your Money Mindset Matters

    Coins & Consciousness: Your Money Mindset Matters

    For legal reasons, we want to make it clear that THIS EPISODE IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

    This is also not an episode about the history of capitalism, or investment recommendations, or an exploration of the economy or financial markets.

    This is an honest conversation that acknowledges the multifaceted beliefs, emotions, mindsets and sensitivities people have about money. At the heart of it, money is a nuanced and personal experience. Money isn’t just a currency. It’s a reflection of our lives and our values. Money is a conceptual, energetic, and necessary tool to help you understand your self-worth. Because your self-worth is your net worth.

    In this episode, we share our personal experiences with money and share our thoughts and information about lack mindsets, growth psychology, manifestation techniques, and more. We’re bouncing between topics associated with privilege, greed, jealousy and beyond to better develop a healthier relationship with money.

    The intersection of spirituality and wealth can make the values in our hearts collide with the demands of the material world. It’s a complex subject — one that we’ll tackle from multiple angles in a few different episodes over time. But as we begin the conversation with this episode, our goal is to acknowledge the profound ways money influences our lives, and help you understand the importance of viewing money beyond a tangible object. Ultimately, it’s about seeing the endless wealth that exists when you tune into your authenticity.

    "Since its creation, money hasn’t been just a measure of wealth; at times it’s been a symbol of our values and a test of our morality. The way in which one uses money may build or destroy one’s reputation and standing in a community, and it certainly demonstrates one’s character. Because money is an expression of value, it matters how it’s expressed." — Kabir Sehgal

    ***As mentioned at the end of the episode, below is a list of our recommended books about money, wealth, abundance and prosperity. Whether you want a psychological deep dive, a witchy spell book, an EFT tapping guide, a historical viewpoint, an academic approach, a metaphysical perspective, or just a practical way of better understanding money markets, budgeting, investing or otherwise, you’ll be able to find something in this list that sparks your interest:

    Accepting Rejection & Rejecting Acceptance

    Accepting Rejection & Rejecting Acceptance

    We’d like to start by thanking Brené Brown for all that she does in the world. 

    Now that we’ve made that clear, let’s dig into this episode's theme.

    In this week’s deep dive episode, we venture into the intricate web of emotions and perceptions tangled up with the ideas of acceptance and rejection. On the surface, acceptance seems like a warm embrace, while rejection can feel like a sharp sting. But as we dive deeper, we realize these two concepts are not only more delicate and intricate than they appear, but they’re also interconnected in complex ways. 

    These concepts are fundamental parts of our daily experiences and the choices we make. Sometimes they seem inconsequential, but other times they're like mighty sagas that dramatically alter our spirit. Acceptance and rejection can fully alter the way we view ourselves and each other. They can dictate our outlooks, shape our expectations, and transform the way we interact with the world.

    Separately and together, these are experiences that forge tremendous amounts of resilience, strength and growth within us. Acceptance is not always a gentle sanctuary. Rejection is not always a merciless life sentence. They represent a specific kind of duality, but they're not always so black and white either. What might seem like two sides of the same coin could actually be more prismatic than you think.

    August 2023 Astrology Forecast

    Continuing our monthly astrology series, we're looking at the astrology of August 2023 and filling you in on the planetary movements taking place this month. 

    August includes a smorgasbord of astrological experiences. We're breaking down everything from the continued Venus Retrograde (which is active the entire month!), the new moon in Leo, plus a rare month where we have two full moons instead of one (it only happens "once in a blue moon!"). Most of August is Leo season, but we have a massive influx of Virgo energy taking over this time. And with two more planets going retrograde - Mercury and Uranus - we're about to hit maximum capacity with a handful of planets all in retrograde at the same time. We also venture off into other random discussions because we just can't help ourselves. For example, we have a full blown discussion about libraries. Weird right? Whatever, you'll love it. AND WILL MEGAN GET HER LIPS INJECTED DURING A VENUS RETROGRADE?!?! Place your bets now.

    The Serendipity Sessions: Emotionally (Un)available

    The Serendipity Sessions: Emotionally (Un)available

    Welcome to our second Serendipity Session. We began this series on the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us. 

    In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we tackle (in some roundabout ways) the concept of emotional availability - and thus, emotional UNavailability.

    Emotional availability is a crucial aspect of building meaningful relationships, where vulnerability and openness intertwine. While it's important to know your boundaries and when you have adequate space to hold for others, frequent emotional UNavailability can create barriers, hinder genuine connections, and leave people feeling isolated. Human behavior is complex, and you don't always have to be available for others - not even your best friends or family - but if you consistently shut out other people from expressing their emotions, the implications can be devastating.  

    P.S. PRETTY PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST 5 STARS WHILE YOU'RE HERE :)  

    Serendipity brought us to a variety of discussion points including: 

    • Why people are emotionally unavailable
    • The difference between emotional unavailability and emotional terrorism
    • Why you should push back against "friends" who are always emotionally unavailable to you
    • The negative implications of emotional unintelligence
    • What the current astrology has to say about relationships and emotional connectivity
    • The harshness of shame when your emotions are discarded by others
    • Ways to be a more emotionally available and emotionally intelligent person
    • Will.i.am and Britney Spears' new song sucks
    • And more!

    The Business of Spirituality with Jason Freeland

    The Business of Spirituality with Jason Freeland

    We live in an era where ancient wisdom is now an accessible commodity. People seeking answers are now considered to be consumers, and there's a menu of service providers helping them uncover intangible possibilities with the assistance of commercial technology. Spirituality has become a thriving industry - but is it accurate to call spirituality a business at all? 

    Giving fascinating insights for both service providers in the spiritual space and consumers who seek spiritual guidance, Megan and Ryan are joined by special guest Jason Freeland. Jason's company Outlook Amusements is the parent company of California Psychics, one of the most well known brands connecting everyday people with psychic advisors across a variety of modalities, from psychics and mediums to tarot readers, astrologers, numerologists and beyond. 

    This episode is a walk across the bridge connecting the ethereal and material worlds together. As someone who had a front row seat working with the iconic 1990s psychic hotlines, Jason has seen our industry evolve over time. He's witnessed firsthand the transformative power of psychic work and reveals the ins and outs of how he runs such a flourishing business, addressing topics such as onboarding practitioners, handling customer complaints, navigating frauds, and adapting to new technologies and changes in consumer behaviors. He even offers a convincing truth about the notion of "selling spirituality" - a perspective that changed our minds entirely about "the business of spirituality," prompting us to reconsider the way we brand and market ourselves. 

    About Jason Freeland:

    Jason Freeland has been working in new age marketplace businesses for over 30 years. In 1991, Freeland stumbled into the spiritual wellness business by producing the Psychic Friends Network. Freeland has also written and directed the feature film adaptation of James Ellroy’s Brown’s Requiem and a second feature, Garden Party. Freeland holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and attended USC’s School of Film and Television. 

    Outlook Amusements, Inc. was founded by Jason Freeland and Tim Youd, who met during a “junior year abroad” program at Oxford University during their college years. In 1995, they started their production company in conjunction with Western International Media. At the time, Western was the largest independent media buying agency in the world. In 1997, Freeland and Youd bought out Western’s interest in their business and soon thereafter developed the largest online live psychic and astrology network, which they sold to Keen.com in 2000. Keen.com (now called Ingenio, Inc.) was a Bay-area incubated startup focused on the delivery of live advice via the telephone and computer. 

    Today, Freeland continues to run Outlook Amusements, which primarily operates California Psychics.

    Breathwork Breakthroughs with Jon Paul Crimi

    Breathwork Breakthroughs with Jon Paul Crimi

    The simple act of breathing is much more complex than you may realize. We just simply take it for granted.

    Crossing cultural boundaries and spanning as far back as you could imagine, breath has been revered as the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. From the yogic pranayama of ancient India to the rhythmic chants in Native American ceremonies, breath has always been harnessed as a catalyst for transformation and connection. Scientific studies are piling up that unravel the profound physiological, psychological,  emotional and spiritual benefits of conscious breathing. It's a resilient and multifaceted practice that has found its place as a revolutionary tool for healing and enhanced well-being in the modern world. 

    After experiencing immediate breakthroughs in just one class, Clairannoyance co-hosts Megan and Ryan sat down with world renowned breathwork instructor Jon Paul Crimi to learn more about his background and unique approach. Jon Paul infuses his contagious, unabashed personality into his work while paying great respect to breathwork as an ancient practice. His no-nonsense attitude both in and out of class is rare to find; he is not your stereotypical New Age teacher, and this is not a "woo woo" class. (Which is to say, this is a gold star standard for Clairannoyance.)

    Tune in as Megan and Ryan share about their consciousness-altering breathwork experience, learn from Jon Paul about his unique style of "conscious connected breathing" or "circular breathing," and discover all sorts of unexpected bits of wisdom, like why you should never hand a tissue to someone who is crying. Let them ugly cry. If they want the tissue they'll get it!

    In all seriousness, we do not endorse lightly. This is the only breathwork instructor we could image going to. We are immediately incorporating breathwork into our routine. Please consider signing up for a class (more info below). If you're currently breathing, you need to see what you're missing out on. 

    About Jon Paul Crimi

    Originally from Boston, in his early 20s Jon Paul Crimi moved to Los Angeles and quickly became one of the most sought-after celebrity trainers and sober coaches in the country. Unexpectedly, he found himself in a breathwork class and had a massive transformation that first time. Knowing he had to share this technique, he not only began teaching breathwork, but developed his own unique style and quickly began selling out breathwork classes all over Los Angeles. Jon Paul currently resides in Bend, Oregon with his wife and two children but returns monthly to Los Angeles to teach sold-out breathwork classes and workshops, as well as lead his in-demand Breathwork Teacher Trainings. What makes Jon Paul Crimi stand apart is his east coast no-nonsense approach. He has removed the “New Agey” aspects of breathwork, and now private companies and organizations are filling his calendar. CEOs and the “Forbes set” have found themselves in his classes and have hired him to teach breathwork to their employees. Jon Paul has broadened his classes to include customized workshops and corporate retreats for groups all over the United States. Jon Paul has appeared on Good Morning America and has been featured in The Huffington Post and The Hollywood Reporter. You can find him on countless talk shows and podcasts both in the United States and around the world, as he continues his work to make breathwork more accessible and mainstream. Jon Paul believes everyone can benefit from this practice, and he has Olympians as well as Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners to prove it. Witnessing people visibly transform, often after just one breathwork session, is why he greets each day excited to turn people towards their most authentic selves and he has made it his life work to reach as many people as possible.

    The Serendipity Sessions: Somber Submarines & Elemental Reveries

    The Serendipity Sessions: Somber Submarines & Elemental Reveries

    Introducing "The Serendipity Sessions," a new addition to the Clairannoyance podcast that invites you to drop into our real-time, candid conversations as they unfold naturally over an hour.

    With the intent to revel in randomness and impart unexpected insights, “The Serendipity Sessions” is unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes. This is a pure reflection of how we bonded as friends in the first place, from thousands of miles apart. It's a living archive of the dynamic and spiritual discussions we never anticipate having but regularly receive. No outline, no rulebook, and no holding back. You’ll wander with us to the outer banks of consciousness where untouched treasures always manage to wash ashore.

    This ongoing series is the truest essence of our sincere and unfiltered thoughts. It's an authentic expression and nourishment for connection. Fortified by a foundation of trust, we safely share as friends and co-hosts, unbound by fear of judgment or consequence. Some topics may not seem spiritual on the surface, but the dots always connect in the end. The sheer nature of this — an experimental dance with serendipity — is something we view as inherently spiritual in its own right.

    Sudden insights and unexpected epiphanies often hold more value than meticulously planned discussions. By liberating ourselves from concrete topics and set schedules, it's impossible for any two sessions to ever be the same. We'll never know when the next installment is coming because we're giving ourselves permission to abandon routine. W're opening ourselves to chance whenever we feel the nudge, even if we're seconds away from hitting record on something else.

    This is an alternative to the “new age” clickbait content over-saturating every platform. But instead of begging you to “stop scrolling, because this message is for you,” we give respect to the collective consciousness. If a specific thought or theme finds dominance in our lives, it’s likely to be a ripple from a much larger current. It's likely that someone listening is in that current, too. You'll find your way here whenever needed, and we hope you encounter pieces of yourself each time you do.

    Serendipitous magic should be organic,
    But don't despair, we have hints to share:

    • Ireland has potatoes and history but their mornings have no tops
    • Short-termism is a new epidemic (and separately, yet relatedly, memory is dwindling) 
    • You don't know who you impact
    • Restless with anticipation in the face of the unknown
    • Water is heavy
    • Life is precious no matter how you try to meme it
    • Archetype is an overused word
    • The band earth wind & fire but add water and subtract the band
    • Why god can kick you out of heaven
    • Shrooms revelations but without the shrooms 
    • Love is the best

    Mediumship Misconceptions with Katie O'Brien

    Mediumship Misconceptions with Katie O'Brien

    Mediumship has a sordid history. Even today, the practice continues to receive mainstream criticism and stigmatization. As with many spiritual professions, mediumship has weathered the storms of frauds and scams, leaving a stain on its reputation that’s hard to remove. But when you really look into it, you have to wonder: why does this antiquated narrative still exist? After all, research shows that mediums are friendlier, more imaginative and intellectual, more confident and emotionally stable, and less neurotic and anxious than “normal people.” It goes beyond ‘energy’ too, with brain scans showing that mediums are in a distinct mental state while communicating with the deceased.

    Study after study consistently reveals that a majority of people have favorable attitudes toward mediumship. It’s not only gaining widespread adoption, but it’s being practiced with shocking accuracy and healing benefits:

    • 7 in 10 Americans believe it’s possible to feel “the presence of someone who has died.” (Pew Research Center)
    • 87% of people report a decrease in grief, better emotional well-being and a greater sense of peace after seeing a medium (Forever Family Foundation)
    • 57% of people have contacted the deceased through a medium; 92% report feeling satisfied after seeing a medium; and 78% admit it’s a transformative experience (Windbridge Research Center)
    • 76% of people experience comfort, healing and closure after connecting with deceased loved ones via a medium (Journal of Scientific Exploration)
    • Accuracy rates consistently surpass what would be expected by chance alone, with a meta-analysis revealing an overall accuracy rate of 68% (Journal of Parapsychology)
    • Mediums have shown a 77% accuracy rate in providing details about the deceased - details that were unknown by the sitter at that time - and then were later verified to be accurate (Windbridge Research Center)

    Clairannoyance co-hosts Megan and Ryan are joined by psychic medium and modern mystic Katie O’Brien in this episode. As a skeptic by nature, Katie brings an alternative perspective that lends some much-needed, down-to-earth legitimacy to this practice — and to the spiritual community in general. Katie shares her experience as a born medium who reclaimed her abilities in adulthood after shutting them down in her youth. We talk about her signature approach to mediumship - “soul readings" - a more holistic experience for clients. Topics we explore include: the various Clairs (shoutout to our podcast title); the difficulties of trusting yourself in this line of work; managing client expectations and delivering messages they might not want to hear; establishing healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life; plus much more. 

    We're not forcing you to start seeing a medium every day. But let’s be honest. Measurable data is proving mediumship's popularity, accuracy and real-world healing benefits. The only fictional thing going on here is the state of denial all the naysayers keep living in.
