My very first episode of my new podcast, Heal into Balance with Jammie Kohen, dropped today! I have a ‘Podcast’ page on the menu of this site with all the info and links. You can find it on Anchor, Spotify, Apple and Google Podcasts. It was an inspired idea I’ve been working on behind the scenes little by little for the last several months. I started it off by talking about the big leap of faith I took when I jumped out of my Registered Nursing career to save my own health and make 2018 my best year ever. Please go give it a listen and rate it if you feel called to. I hope it inspires you to make 2023 your best year ever!
It’s funny how the more I’ve learned, the less I feel I know. We live in a vast universe after all. That feeling made it difficult to get this podcast going. But I know that hearing and reading other people’s stories over the years has really helped me on my own journey in this life, especially in times when I had a lot going on and was feeling very alone. I hope to provide inspiration to keep going and the reminder that you are not alone no matter what you are currently facing.
I’ve been pushed to go within this past year more than ever before. I jumped off all social media. I cut back on reading books and consuming content. The jump off social media had been a long time coming. I didn’t like how much time I was wasting scrolling through the feed in times when I just meant to hop on and post. I didn’t like how it made me feel like I needed to be constantly sharing content to keep up with the ever-changing algorithms. It was a decision guided by my intuition. Cutting down on other content just sort of happened as a byproduct of life. I’ve had a lot going on in the past year and have been more focused on getting through it than on taking in more information from the outside. The combo has been really good for me.
It brings me to what I hope to impart on my audience through my podcast. I want to empower you to chart your own course and walk your own path fueled by your unique passions and the guidance from your own Spirit (your intuition). I want to remind you that life is happening NOW and that later is an imaginary time promised to no one. We often tune out death in fear of the end, but ironically stop living because of it. Pushing death into the closet has only solidified the programs imbedded in us that there will always be more time later to do the things we love and to spend time with our loved ones. It makes us put off life. What would you do this year if you definitively knew that this would be your last? I think the balance lies somewhere around asking your own Spirit for what you want and taking inspired action towards it with an urgency that later isn’t promised without getting stressed out about not knowing when the end will actually be. Or whatever balance causes you to live more NOW.
I have lived so much life in this one, and a few years ago I found myself saying that I was so content with how I was living my life and filling my days that I would be OK with whenever it ended. I was at peace within myself. That’s how I want to live. You see, if we’re living life on purpose rather than just going along with status quo, then we aren’t filled with a yearning for the future we may never see. We gain contentment in the present. What in life gives you a sense of contentment? What are you passionate about? What would you do for free?
My son and I used to play a game where one of us would name some ridiculous amount of money and the other would name all the things they would do with it. When I was working in the hospital, if I had won millions, I would have left immediately. No question. I heard that from many other nurses as well during times we were all playing the lotto together. We were all unsatisfied and overworked. It was a no brainer. My son used to think I was nuts, because if I won the lottery, I would still do Holographic Kinetics sessions for people. He’d say, “but you wouldn’t have to work if you had all that money.” When we fill our days with things that light us up, millions wouldn’t change much. The money would be a bonus in that case, not a means to escape from our reality. What would you do if money wasn’t an issue? I encourage you to take the first step towards it. A leap of faith doesn’t happen in one fell swoop. It happens in small increments as we begin to take the first and only step we’re shown in the staircase. Bit by bit we work our way up the stairs by following our intuition and taking inspired action. When we keep going, we eventually make it to the top and are able to look back and see how everything lined up in divine timing to get us exactly what we asked for.
Our minds want to distract us with worry about the ‘how’ and logistics, but that’s the work for our Spirit and the universe. In every leap I have taken, I could not see how in the world things would possibly line up when I took the first step. My mind has a very narrow view of the world compared to my Spirit that is able to tap into the infinite number of possibilities that exist. The leap of faith I talk about in this week’s podcast episode provided me with knowing that I am always being taken care of and guided to where I need to be. The way things lined up for that leap gives me trust that my current leap will also work out. You’d be surprised at what happens when you start stepping into your own power and following your passions. It’s as if the whole world comes together to orchestrate your best life. And life goes from being a daily grind to the weekend or retirement, to becoming your very own choose your adventure book! Each experience I have is better than the last when I trust and follow my intuition over everything else.
This week’s podcast is for me just as much as it is for anyone else. I am moving through a big transformative time in my life and I am having to trust more than I ever have before. In divine timing, I have been guided to remember all that I learned from my huge leap of faith out of nursing, and how I was taken care of through it all. It’s bringing me great comfort, because if are divinely guided to one miraculous outcome, we can be guided to another. I trust the power of my Spirit, so even as my mind worries, I take each step as it comes to me. I know I am being led to everything I have set out to create in my life.
