What if true wisdom comes not from avoiding discomfort, but embracing it with grace?
In this deep and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with David Lewis-Peart—creator, author, social worker, and more. With a background in mental health, trauma, and resiliency, David’s work has spanned social services, community building, and the arts. He is the author of Pray You Break, creator of Honoring the Inner Man, and the Affirmations for the Afro Canadian Male calendar series.
David shares his reflections on humility, intuition, and the illusions we create to make sense of our experiences. We explore how intuition can be both an inner knowing and, at times, a projection of our past. David also challenges us to reconsider what we call “helping” and to recognize the role of grace in personal and collective healing.
This episode is an invitation to embrace the messy, sacred, and real—and to sit in the discomfort of being human.
What We Cover in This Episode
How David’s journey in mental health and community work has shaped his understanding of self and service
The balance between intuition, projection, and the stories we tell ourselves
How trauma and hyper-vigilance can be mistaken for intuition
The danger of spiritual bypassing and how avoidance manifests in our daily lives
Why humility isn’t about playing small—it’s about perspective
The importance of tuning into intuition without ego or past conditioning
How true self-awareness is essential in leadership, helping professions, and personal growth
A powerful discussion on loss, grief, and what it means to be in relationship with life itself
A special reading from Pray You Break, David’s book of poetry

Have you ever had a dream so vivid, so real, that you couldn’t shake the feeling it meant something? Maybe even a dream that revealed future events?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal and awe-inspiring experience—one of the most well-documented examples of a clairvoyant dream I’ve ever had. This dream involved a childhood friend and his then-girlfriend (now-wife), and what unfolded after I shared it with him was nothing short of astonishing.
I’ll take you behind the scenes into my lifelong relationship with dreams—how I’ve experienced everything from past-life memories as a child to angelic transmissions, and how dreams have offered profound messages not just for me, but for the people around me.
If you’ve ever wondered about the real power of dreams, how to recognize spirit messages, or how intuition can show up in the most unexpected ways, this episode is for you.
In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ A powerful clairvoyant dream that came true in stunning detail
✨ How I navigate intuitive messages with a deep code of ethics
✨ The difference between “casual” dreams and higher-frequency transmissions
✨ A breathtaking spirit sign at a wedding that confirmed everything
✨ Why dreams can hold guidance, even when they aren’t 100% literal
✨ How you can start noticing your intuitive dreams and spirit signs
Have you ever had a clairvoyant dream or received an undeniable spirit sign? I’d love to hear about it—send me a message on Instagram @sydneyrebecc or join the conversation inside my Virtual Intuition Clinics!

This week’s episode dives into the emotional landscape of intuition through the lens of music, art, and creative flow with violinist, educator, and artist Helena Protopapas. From being signed to a major record label to stepping away from the industry to reclaim her creative freedom, Helena’s story is a reminder that true alignment is often found outside of the paths we’re told to follow.
In this conversation, we explore:
🎶 How music and art express the unseen emotions of intuition
🎨 The connection between color, sound, and deep knowing (and Helena’s experience with synesthesia)
🌊 What it means to trust creative flow instead of forcing an outcome
❌ Why some paths that look like success aren’t always meant for us
⚡ The difference between anxiety and intuition—and how to tell them apart
💡 How deep listening to your inner signals can shape your life choices
Helena’s journey is a powerful reflection on the art of letting go, trusting the creative process, and allowing intuition to shape not just what we do—but how we feel as we do it.

What does it mean to translate the unseen? To bring memory, intuition, and ancestral knowledge into form? 🎨✨
In today’s episode, I sit down with artist and curator Chiedza Pasipanodya, whose work explores deep memory, material transformation, and diasporic connection. Through sculpture, curation, and storytelling, they create spaces for reflection and remembrance, inviting us to consider what sustains us and how the past informs the present and future.
🌿 In this conversation, we explore:
• The intersection of intuition, creative practice, and ancestral wisdom
• The power of storytelling as a bridge between past, present, and future
• How displacement and movement impact our sense of home and self
• The role of intuitive listening in navigating purpose and transformation
• The material intelligence of clay as a medium for ancestral storytelling
• Why slowing down is essential for tuning into intuitive knowing
This conversation is an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect with what is already within you.

Have you ever found yourself endlessly replaying a situation in your mind, desperate for clarity but only sinking deeper into frustration? Maybe in a relationship, a career decision, or a life transition? It’s exhausting, right?
Here’s a question that stopped me in my tracks years ago and continues to shape how I navigate uncertainty:
✨ “Where is conflict when the truth is known?” — T. Krishnamacharya
If you’re feeling inner tension, if you’re over-analyzing every detail, if you keep thinking I just need to figure this out—maybe the truth hasn’t fully revealed itself yet. And what if that’s okay?
In this solo episode, I get really personal about the times I’ve been caught in the grip of uncertainty—where I wanted an answer so badly but had to learn to honour the not knowing.
I share:
• A story of a relationship that was full of love and misalignment—and how I finally knew when to walk away
• The two-year period in my career that stretched me to my limits, but ultimately led to my deepest clarity
• Why forcing a decision before you’re ready can actually move you away from alignment
This episode isn’t about easy answers. It’s about learning to trust your process—even when it’s messy, even when it’s slow, even when the clarity you crave hasn’t yet arrived.
I hope it brings you peace in the waiting.
If this resonates, hit reply or comment below —I’d love to hear how this lands for you. And if someone you love is struggling with a decision, send this their way.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Intuitively Aligned Podcast!
You’ve made it here, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this season with you. In this first episode, we’re diving into the idea of insourcing your intuition—learning to resource from your inner wisdom instead of constantly turning to the outside world for answers.
If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by opinions, advice, or information overload, this episode will show you how to quiet the noise and reconnect with the clarity that’s already within you. Together, we’ll explore what it means to trust your intuition, even in moments of uncertainty, and how practices like gratitude can transform the way you navigate decisions—personally and professionally.
You’ll also hear stories from my own journey, including times when I had to step away from conventional advice and trust what felt true in my body and heart. These moments taught me how to lean into alignment, even when the path wasn’t clear.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to stop giving away your power and start trusting your own knowing.
• Why flow states (think movement, art, or journaling) are key for connecting with your intuition.
• The science-backed benefits of gratitude and how it deepens self-trust.
• What it means to lead from alignment in every area of your life.
This episode will leave you inspired to create more space for yourself—space to listen, to reflect, and to trust the powerful voice within you that’s always guiding you forward.
Mark your calendar with my upcoming events:
✨ Virtual Intuition Clinic: Thursday, January 23rd, 12–1 PM EST

Today’s episode features social impact leader Surabhi Jain who deep dives with me about intentional systems change leadership and how tapping into your intuition can deepen your awareness personally and in navigating professional relationships.
Surabhi is the Founding Executive Director of the Toronto Workforce Funder Collaborative, Co-Founder of Women in Power , and creator of Power x Privilege. Surabhi has spent the better part of 20 years designing human development programs, working closely with many Fortune 500 companies to help them change racially biased hiring practices, and building the capacity of the non-profit sector to change systems.
You will get to hear some of Surabhi’s experiences growing up in a progressive family in India that emphasized female education, how equity and intentionality played a role in her moving to the United States, and ultimately how these values now shape her leadership in the philanthropic sector and at the intersection of power and privilege moving toward expansive possibilities of equity and belonging.
You won’t want to miss Surabhi sharing examples of how she practically weaves deep intentionality and intuitive awareness into her life at work and as a funder. We jam on the ways that organizations can do things differently, to help build capacity and to create more meaningful impact for the communities and grantees they are serving.
Surabhi talks about the importance of hard work and leaving the world a better place than you found it. She also shares an awesome story about how her inner alignment that led her to create a job posting that went viral on LinkedIn in the fall of 2023 (you can check it out here).
You will leave this conversation reminded that our inner work must match our outer drive to create change in the world and that it’s never too late to be more intentional (and even more vulnerable) in how you show up personally, professionally and in your community.

Hi friends, I’ve missed you! I’m very excited to be back with new energy for 2024, especially as far as podcast releases and Intention Setting Circles are concerned. It’s not to late for your to join me this Thursday, Jan 11 from 7:45pm-9:45pm EST ($44/PWYC) for my 2024 New Year Intention Setting Circle. If you’re interested, hit reply in Substack or email me here subject line: 2024 Intentions.
While I have a limited number of spaces available for Deep Dive readings available, my January calendar for 1:1 Intuitive Mentorship is officially fully booked (thanks to everyone who has signed up - I’m super pumped to be working with you!) If exploring an Intuitive Mentorship container with me is one of your personal intentions for 2024, please reach out to me over email so that we can set up a free call to connect and assess fit. I will have capacity to add 1-2 new Mentorship clients starting in February so if you’re interested please reach out sooner than later! :)
Today’s solo episode is all about the intuitive block that you create and perpetuate when you second guess yourself. You’ll have a chance to reflect on what voice or messaging is playing in your head and how you notice yourself contracting at the notion of integrating your own inner guidance. You’ll also receive a reframe on self criticism and have the opportunity to expand your perspective to hold a fuller, more accurate accounting of your past memories as well as the unique unfolding of your relationship with your intuition.
Without saying it explicitly, this episode centres the idea of grace as we allow ourselves to embrace the Deep Remembering, travel back in time, and cultivate deeper conscious awareness of inner parts of ourselves that are simply prompting second guessing as an outdated form of self protection (or even protection of others e.g. parents, caregivers etc.) But what about cultivating your intuition? The good news is that lovingly engaging in the remembering and embracing the transformation of these inner parts will support deeper integration, intuitive alignment and self-trust. Welcome to a world of possibility where you can more freely and confidently tap into your inner essence and wisdom!
As always, I am so gratefulf or your feedback, Spotify ratings, and star Apple ratings and written reviews! Also, please please chime in with your thoughts and experiences in the Substack comments and podcast chat.

Hi friends, I hope you’re doing well and nourishing your body, heart and spirit in the best ways you know how right now.
I wanted to let you know that I’m not releasing a podcast episode this week - sorry! Here is a 5 minute voice note instead!
I didn’t have something to say that truly felt aligned to where I and we are at in this moment. It isn’t for lack of content. I have several beautiful interviews lined up to share with you as well as a number of solo episodes on intuition and impact. That said, this week it felt more appropriate to send you a quick voice note letting you know I’m thinking about you and giving permission to do exactly what you need to do right now.
Speaking of which, if something you need is some space for reflection on where you are at, what you’ve been through and where you are going so you can set clear, grounded intentions for 2024, please join my 2024 New Year Virtual Intention Circle on Thursday Dec. 28th from 8pm-10pm EST ($44/PWYC).
The event will include:
* Acknowledging the land and a grounding exercise to root into the experience
* A guided journey to reflect and remember key personal inflection points from 2023
* An individual oracle card and message for each participant with a view to support intentions for the New Year
* A guided journey to align, visualize and set intentions for 2024
* Sharing back insights within the Circle
* Gratitudes & Closing
If you would like to reserve your spot now, email me at [email protected] and I will send you the Zoom link for the event.
Thank you for listening, reviewing and sharing this journey! :)

Want to set intentions with me for 2024? Join my 2024 New Year Intention Circle on Dec. 28th at 8pm EST, details below!
In today’s solo episode, you’re invited to reflect on the way in which exploring your origins can bring deeper understanding and integration to the reality you are creating in your everyday life.
You’ll be invited to reflect on the stories you know, the details you might uncover, and the process of weaving inner peace with what you find (including the gaps), as well as how you can thread insight to unblock limiting beliefs linked to ancestral patterns and trauma that you might not even be consciously aware of.
You’ll hear a story about my own experience struggling to understand why I felt so deeply and passionately about a community program I was helping scale which I thought had nothing to do with my own experience, until my mom revealed how deeply personal and relevant this work was from an inter-generational perspective.
Finally, I share my own thoughts about what it means to “do good work in your life” and why I think the professional work is only as impactful as your willingness to become more present and empowered in your own inner landscape.
Have you been on a journey of discovering your ancestry and making meaning of the stories of those who came before you? I’d love to hear what you’ve found and what’s shifted for you! Feel free to email me or drop a comment on this episode in Substack.

What if corporate social responsibility efforts truly protected and supported life on Earth?
In today’s episode, you’ll hear B. Lorraine Smith, an adviser, writer, speaker and corporate mischievist who holds a vision of an economy that works in service of life. She has been digging deeply into these issues and brings profound and illuminating insights that affirm how much more is possible for humanity, industry and the biosphere.
You’ll hear an incredible story of personal and professional reckoning, embracing inner and outer evolution - even at a moment where more change may not have seemed possible - and the fascinating pursuits and impact that Lorraine found as she pushed through to the other side.
If you’ve ever sensed ‘the truth’ boiling up and felt afraid to act, Lorraine’s story of flipping her 20+ year career in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ESG (environment, social and governance) industries on its head offers equal parts inspiration, humour and courage.
Have you ever wondered happens when you follow the paper trail on corporate lobby money? Lorraine reveals what she found and dives into what it means to now conduct corporate “materiality assessments” on behalf of life itself and her methodology that supports this work.
You’ll learn a heck of a lot about the CSR industry, what’s broken in our guest’s opinion, and how we might look at corporate and consumer impact differently. You don’t want to miss this!

Today’s episode is a solo where we dive into the idea of intention setting and how this practice can shape and transform your everyday life.
While this is a topic I’m very passionate about, today’s episode focuses specifically on the defining intentions and exploring the relationship between gratitude and intention setting.
You’ll also get to hear a fun story about the intention setting process that led me and my husband to find (or dare I say “manifest”) our dream home the summer that we got engaged!
You are also invited to a Virtual Intention Setting Circle that I will be holding on November 29th at 8pm EST. This will be an intimate and gentle container for grounding, reflecting and setting intentions for the remainder of 2023. If you’d like to come, message me with your email address and I’ll send you the Zoom details.
Drop a comment below with your own intention setting practices or a great manifesting story! I also cherish your written reviews on Apple Podcasts and am going to start sharing them on the next episode, so please let me know how you’re enjoying the show!

Quick Announcement: I will be holding a Live FREE Virtual Intention Setting Event for the month of December on Wednesday, November 29th at 8pm EST. If you’d like to attend please email me here with the subject line “December Intentions” for details and the Zoom link.
Today’s episode is the result of a joyful and loving grief container that former guest and dear friend Mathura “Temwa” held for me this past August (2023) when our family’s beloved boxer Rudy passed away. This episode covers so much incredible ground that you are bound to end up inspired, laughing, maybe crying, and absolutely affirmed in trusting the psychic and nuanced multi-sensory communication that is available when you love a dog or other animal companion deeply in your being.
There was an unspoken knowing that Rudy and I shared from the very beginning. In this episode, you’ll hear about the psychic sensing and synchronistic series of events that led to me bringing Rudy home.
This conversation also surfaced some amazing stories about Rudy that I had forgotten about and which connected me to new awareness of the ways he impacted me personally, spiritually, and in my non-profit career. I credit Rudy with teaching me to more fully see and appreciate the humanity of all people, especially so many individuals that many in our society overlook, step over and ignore.
You’ll have a chuckle hearing how Rudy helped pick my husband Dan and the genesis of Rudy’s majestic force guiding us more deeply into love, outdoor adventures, peace and joy. You may also notice that my grief seems to bring out more casual swearing than ever before (so if you have kids around… watch out for one or two f-bombs.)
Rudy was also an integral force in my life and my 1:1 intuitive healing work - he never missed a session, nor a podcast recording, up to the very end. You’ll hear about how Rudy’s presence impacted my readings (and he still does - even in a wonderful reading today where he came through with a loving message about my client and her dog.)
Finally, you will hear some of my experience leading up to Rudy’s passing in the hope that it illuminates his grace as well as the depth of our bond. While you would never wish to lose an animal you love, I found there was insight and healing that came to me with honouring his departure and receiving the medicine of sharing these stories.
I sincerely hope that by listening you receive some of Rudy’s loving life force and a gentle reminder of how relationships, especially including relationships with animals, can profoundly change who we are and the course of our lives.

Welcome to all of our new listeners and my heartfelt thanks to all of you for listening and continuing to cultivate your intuition for greater joy, empowerment and meaningful impact personally and in our collective existence.
In today’s episode I give you some updates and share some very simple yet profound insights so that you can cultivate deeper awareness as you connect more deeply to yourself, to others and the living world that we share.
You’ll hear about some of the ways I have experienced myself as a bridge in my non-profit career as well as the ways in my being and my marriage and family reflect a bridge that my ancestors might never have dreamed possible.
You are also invited to reflect on the ways in which you are a bridge in your own life and how you might tap more deeply into love, respect and humility as foundations for embodying more presence and connection in life so that we can collectively work toward a better future.
Want to work with me 1:1? I’ve added new appointments for Deep Dive Virtual Intuitive Readings from now to the end of 2023 here. I also have space for one more Intuitive Development Mentorship client, so if you’d like to learn more email me directly here and we can set up a phone chat to explore if this could be a fit.
I am sending you all my prayers for peace and love for humanity.

Imagine growing up disconnected from your culture. Now imagine realizing that this was by design to separate you from the Land, your People, and your Spiritual Self.
Today’s warm and insightful episode features Indigenous changemaker, educator and social entrepreneur, Shannon Murphy. Shannon is Mohawk from Six Nations and of the Bear clan. She is a strong advocate within the Indigenous community and dedicated to the healing and wellness for individuals and families.
You will hear about how Shannon first discovered her culture, unexpectedly, during a college childcare field placement. You will also learn how her journey of self-discovery, truth and reconciliation has shaped her commitment to reciprocity in her community work and her commitment to bringing awareness of Indigenous worldviews and communities to local, provincial and national initiatives.
In our conversation, Shannon shares the invaluable role of her Elders and teachers in shaping her understanding of life, duality, and her place within the interconnected web of existence. You'll gain insights into how these relationships and teachings have influenced Shannon’s perspectives on ego, humility, and authenticity.
You'll hear an amazing story about a transformative encounter in nature that left Shannon and her husband in awe. This spiritual experience served as a powerful catalyst, reinforcing the importance of letting go and being fully present. Shannon's journey and the wisdom she imparts will encourage you to reflect on your own life, the significance of kindness and empathy, and the role each of us plays in preserving the balance of nature.
Shannon is co-owner of Niswi Kwe Consulting which lifts up Indigenous ways of knowing and being, providing an Indigenous lens that supports communities in empowering knowledge mobilization, collaboration and leadership. Shannon is also the Provincial Manager for Ontario Aboriginal Head Start Association’s Centre for Indigenous Professional Learning, and a part-time professor for Mohawk College and Kengjewin Teg Educational Institute.

Have you ever considered how embracing your unique sensory experiences could dramatically improve your life and even help you find your purpose?
In this episode of The Intuitively Aligned Podcast, Lia Grimanis takes us on a remarkable journey through her life, sharing experiences that define resilience, innovation, and the pursuit of joy.
You’ll hear how as a homeless teenager, Lia made a promise to herself on a shelter bed that would change her life forever.
Lia is one of Canada’s 100 most powerful women and she is the visionary leader who founded "Up With Women," an organization that provides coaching and holistic support to empower women and gender-diverse individuals. Through this organization, Lia helps people break free from the cycle of poverty and chart sustainable pathways to success.
Lia is also a two-time Guinness World Record holder for “Heaviest Vehicle Pulled 100ft By a Woman” and “Heaviest Vehicle Pulled in High Heels”. She was also the first woman in the world to attempt to pull a jet airplane for a Guinness World Record!
Lia's story is not just about inner strength and triumphing over adversity; it's about embracing neurodiversity and tapping into the joy that comes from her unique sensory perception and rich inner world as individual with autism and multisensory phantasia.
Discover how different sensory experiences have shaped Lia’s perspective, and how she uses these insights to guide others toward a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Join us for an exploration of neurodiversity, the transformative power of joy, and the art of visionary leadership.

In this solo episode, I dive into the power of intuition as well as how to mobilize it to call in beautiful gifts and joyful surprises in your everyday life.
I emphasize the importance of not overanalyzing or rationalizing intuitive downloads and instead recommend a practice of recording them. By noting down your intuitions and the way you perceived them, you can begin to recognize and deepen your unique flavour of intuition. I share some playful personal stories of how I manifested unexpected delights during a period of opening more deeply into trusting my intuition.
The episode also explores intention setting and the role of gratitude in opening up to intuitive insights. I emphasize that intention setting involves not just visualizing your desires but also feeling what you desire and gratitude for the lessons learned, challenges overcome, and the magical moments in life. By holding intentions for ease, grace, and love in all that you do, and by allowing yourself to beam or sprinkle loving energy wherever you go, you can create an energetic environment that attracts beautiful surprises big and small!
This episode serves as an invitation to trust your inner knowing, embrace the practice of logging intuitions, and create a mindset of receptivity to not just that which your heart desires but also life’s joyful surprises.
If you enjoy this episode, drop a heart or comment sharing where you’re at in your own intuitive journey! Or if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, please leave a 5 star rating and written review (as I mention at the end of this episode, your words and messages really help my morale as an artist and creator!)

If you struggle to discern between fear and intuition, Ken’s insights will be illuminating and directly applicable. This is especially true for leaders practicing risk management and making decisions under pressure.
You’ll walk away appreciating how solitude and stillness create the space for intuitive insights to emerge, allowing us to move forward with authenticity and clarity.
