Spirit Crumbs

Emily and I agreed that Leo season is coming in hot! The heat isn't just from the weather though, there is a lot going on in the cosmos! This season will have a heavy focus on relationships with Venus retrograde beginning yesterday, on the first day of Leo season. You may be revisiting or reconsidering how different relationships fit in your life at this time, and you'll need to do some introspect...

Yesterday was the new moon in Cancer, and the lunar nodes transitioned to the Aries & Libra axis. There are so many transits happening this week, and it feels like a complete change in energy. The sensation of being stagnant or in waiting is slowly lifting. It seems like this is a potent time to be co-creating our new reality! I decided to do some automatic writing with the Akashic Records to...

This episode is another one featuring some channeled messages that came through when I felt spirit near. Today's messages were about gathering inspiration and remembering what came naturally to us in childhood. The images that came through first were of a chipmunk coming out of its hole to find food. It is reminding us to come out of our incubation period and gather inspiration to nourish us throu...

Lately, I've been getting so many messages about leaning into hope and faith. It's been a long few years and it seems like we've just been waiting for the other shoe to drop every time something good starts to happen. The energy that is coming through is very different though. Spirit has been reminding me in so many ways that we have so much support! One afternoon, I had a strong nudge from spirit...

Well friends, I can't say that I'm sad to see Gemini season go! Emily and I both had a pretty rocky month. The Death & Rebirth card energy was very present for the second half of the season. Cancer season tends to bring us back into our shell, so at least we will have time to process it all.  We won't get away with smooth sailing, but there is a lot of positive energy coming in with Cancer sea...

I've been thinking and hearing a lot about spring cleaning and rearranging for the past month. Last week, I had to empty out my kitchen, and having my things out of place really got me thinking about how I use my space. Since moving in here 6 years ago, it's always been more studio than apartment! Having all of my work surfaces in the "studio" (living room and dining room) covered in dishes sudden...

After opening up my books for readings again, and receiving a couple myself, a topic that has come to mind is the role of free will. Personally, I have a boundary with spirit that I don't want to tell anyone what choice to make in their lives, so I don't receive that information in readings. Instead, I am able to share what healing and growth is being asked of them, and sometimes what each potenti...

Over the past week, I've heard the phrase "Ride the Wave" a few times, in different contexts. I talked in my last solo episode about how I often receive things in 3s when I'm meant to process or share the message. "Ride the wave" came up to encourage us to take advantage of positive movement, enjoying the high. We sometimes miss an opportunity or a window for action and it's a reminder to truly em...

Taurus season was a very turbulent time for me, going between slow spring moments of comfort and wild eclipse energy catalyzing change. I feel like we're in a period of calm before rapid movement, giving us a moment to process what just happened.  My Gemini newsletter will be coming out on Tuesday, May 23 if you want to take a look at all the cards that came up in this forecast. Gemini season is b...

It's been a wild ride between attending the Sacred Spirit Retreat in BC, eclipse season, and Mercury retrograde! I am happy to be back to doing some solo episodes. This was originally two separate recordings but I decided to release them together. One of the things I wanted to share was that I did a healing energy session in person in the retreat and was so grateful to hear what everyone else expe...

I am feeling a strong resonance with the Taurus invitation to slow down and process. Aries season has brought us flashes of inspiration, but patience will allow them to germinate for a more prosperous outcome.  This month, try to embrace help that is offered and opportunities you may have overlooked! Find the beauty in your everyday life to make the most of the Venus energy that is available durin...

I don't know about you, but after Pisces season, we are over it! Emily and I are ready for the movement and inspiration of Aries season to kick in. The beginning of Aries season is the astrological new year, and we are also experiencing the new moon today, so we can set powerful intentions for the year to come. As Emily shares in the episode, Aries and the first house represent the energy of "I am...

Today, I am talking to my friend Payton Scroggins, aka Blue Heron Medium. You will fall in love with his energy and feel inspired to shine your light after this episode! Payton and I met through the Spirit School Collective. We decided to hop on a Zoom call after connecting on Instagram, and the rest is history! As I mentioned in the intro, you can check out my collaborative art show, Natural Conf...

It may not be on schedule, but I really wanted to get this episode to you while the full moon energy is still potent! On one of the first days of the month, I saw that there was an Instagram memory in my stories and decided to check it out. It was the story about how Spirit was nudging me to watch P.S. I Love You and a few other spirit crumbs that came along with the movie.  The movie follows Holl...

Emily and I are diving into Pisces season and talking about the potential for change that comes with going deep. There is a new moon in Pisces today, February 19th, a great time to set intentions and evoke your creative potential! The month is bookended by cards in the fire energy of wands, so expect to tap into your passion and feel empowered to show up as your authentic self.  Vulnerability is t...

I'm finally back with another solo episode for the first time since my birthday on January 4th! The Aquarius Season Cosmic Energy Report actually came out on the 2 year anniversary of Spirit Crumbs, so thank you for being part of this journey. I truly appreciate each and every one of you! My word for the year is "commitment" and this podcast is one of the most enjoyable ongoing projects I've ever...

Aquarius season is an optimistic time to connect with your community! We are taking our goals and plans from Capricorn season and discovering how they can impact the collective. It is a great time for trying new things and asking questions. We will be checking in with ourselves regularly to make sure that our actions are aligned with our authentic self and the impact we want to have in the world....

This episode is the 2023 Cosmic Energy Report with Emily Barnard! I pulled a tarot card for each month of the year and Emily shared the astrology forecast. It's always fascinating to see how our insights align!  At the beginning of the episode, I also talked about how this year is a 7 in numerology. I typically read this as an energy of rest, mysticism and personal growth, which I think we will be...

Happy New Year! I'm finally back with a solo episode and it's my birthday! I am just coming back from a break for the holidays. Other than editing a podcast episode (obviously not my own!) one day, I actually took the break and was mostly offline! Family time, a snow storm and multiple power outages made it easy to rest and enjoy it. I love snow and being up north really added to the magic of the...

How are we sharing the final Cosmic Energy Report of the 2022?! It's been a rough few weeks, but there's a glimmer of hope coming in as we transition out of Sagittarius season. We may not be able to move forward with our plans as quickly as we would like to, and slowing down will actually feel more productive than forcing. After the holidays, we will need to harness the Capricorn energy to come up...

It's time for the most wonderful episode of the year! Old Christmas classics and new Hallmark movies Hot apple cider and warm shortbread cookies Laughing out loud when Will Ferrell sings These are a few of our favorite things! In this episode, Emily and I countdown our favorite holiday movies, beverages, and snacks. We also discuss the reason we love the holidays, including the fact that it's once...

Sometimes, spirit places things literally right in front of us on our path! I have been asking my guides to help me move forward and choose a direction to nurture. When I was walking home the other day, I passed a banana-shaped toothbrush and an actual banana on the sidewalk. Seeing as bananas don't exactly grow on trees around here, this felt like a message!  I went home and looked at my favourit...

I'm ready for some Sagittarius energy after an extra challenging Scorpio season! I had a few patterns come up to be healed within and it was reflected externally as well. The transition between these signs has been nudging us to think about what we want to do, who we are, and what inspires us. Sagittarius season allows us to look at the big picture and take the leap! Dreaming big and giving of our...

I've been hinting at a particular unfolding situation for a few weeks now, and I finally share some of the details in today's episode! This is a perfect example of how the energy reports and forecasts I share actually show up in my life. The cards, themes, and archetypes that I am shown by my guides are just as relevant to me as they are to the collective (any of you who listen!).  Because this wa...

It may be a day late, but I decided to record an episode about some eclipse themes that have been coming up! The colour yellow and the solar plexus are bringing energies around confidence, purpose and action. I talked about bees, cheetahs, lemons, and a shrub with yellow flowers as I discussed their overlapping qualities. They all have connections to yellow and the sun, and it felt like they neede...
