How comfortable are you with uncertainty, like when you don’t know how something is going to turn out? When you have to wait to find out the outcome of something in your life? Or when you set out on an unknown path, without being able to see where it’s going to lead you? Many of us have a limited tolerance for uncertainty. We might experience uncertainty as a threat, as something we need to fix or avoid at all costs. For me, uncertainty and being in a state of not knowing have often felt deeply uncomfortable (along with some other anxiety patterns I’ve experienced in this lifetime). We’re all on a continuum of how much uncertainty we can tolerate before we start experiencing inner tension, discomfort, and stress. (Along with a strong need to resolve the uncertainty.) If you’re like me, you might have an inner part of you who we might call the “reassurance seeker.” This is the part of us that doesn’t know how to sit with uncertainty, that wants to know everything in advance, that might over-prepare for things and/or seek reassurance or validation from others. This episode of INNER WORK was created for this part of you -- the reassurance seeker. We'll help this part of you feel seen, validated, soothed, and NOT ALONE. You'll walk away with: an understanding of what fuels reassurance-seeking patterns and behaviors (and what those behaviors often look like)clarity on whether you're currently in a "reassurance-seeking trap"a powerful shift in perspective that will help you get more comfortable with uncertaintyideas for how you can USE uncertainty as a spiritual teacher in your life The book mentioned in this episode is Needing to Know for Sure by Martin Seif and Sally Winston.

Are you fully owning, claiming, and sharing your gifts with the world... and stepping fully into your DIVINE GREATNESS? This episode of Inner Work is about the life-changing magic of no longer hiding your gifts, and the incredible things that can happen (that you can create!) once you fully align with your Soul's highest purpose and follow the calling of your Higher Self. Without playing small. Without minimizing, discounting, or undervaluing yourself. Without feeling like you need to prove yourself to others. Without shrinking to make others around you feel more "comfortable". Join me for a discussion of: what might hold you back from fully claiming and sharing your giftswhat can happen once you truly open yourself to embody your Divine greatness and brilliancehow the Universe steps in to support you when you begin taking BOLD action towards your purposepersonal story: the moment I realized it was time to leave my academic career, and how I dealt with the fear and uncertainty that came uphow to call for assistance from your Guides and Spirit Team as you become more aligned with your gifts and purpose Thank you for tuning in and spending this time with me!  If you've been getting some value out of this podcast, I'd be so grateful if you can take a minute to leave a rating or review (or both) on your preferred podcast platform.

This episode of INNER WORK is about the spiritual, life-changing practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- in any situation. This is a practice I teach in many of my programs, because it's so powerful at cutting through the inner and outer noise that we sometimes get bogged down in. Previously on this podcast, I've talked about the LIES and illusions we often buy into as humans. The lies and illusions of the 3D human dimension, which are also sometimes the illusions we inherit through our human family lineage and also through the collective consciousness of this particular planet, and of the society and culture we each grow up in. The practice of reaching for the Higher Truth -- which requires active work on our part -- is about seeing those illusions for what they are, shattering them, and re-aligning ourselves with Divine Knowing. In this episode, I explain how to work with this practice and walk you through a series of potent examples of Higher Truth (while helping you connect fully to that Truth, if it resonates with you).

This episode of INNER WORK is about the many different ways in which we’ve all been indoctrinated into the “not good enough” paradigm… ... and how this can prevent you from living your life authentically, truly being yourself, and shining as brightly as you’re meant to shine and expand. I also talk about how the "not good enough" paradigm can prevent you from fully expressing and living your Soul’s purpose and stepping into your sacred service and work in this lifetime. We'll explore some ways to begin dismantling this paradigm and false belief system in your own life, so you can be FREE to heal and expand to your highest level.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore the distinct advantages of using the Akashic Records as a healing modality in your coaching, spiritual, or healing business. Join me for a discussion of: what makes the Akashic Records different from other spiritual tools and modalities how we can use the Akashic Records for quantum healing, insights, and transformationhow the Records can help you clear your own "stuff" (fear, resistance, self-doubt, other unhelpful patterns) so you can powerfully show up to serve your clientshow the Records can help you expand your healing business in aligned, ethical, effective ways I also answer a question posed by my certification student Leah, about how karma works within the context of the Akashic Records.

For 3 days in April, I'm bringing together a select group of awakened healers seeking to evolve to their next level of clarity, intuition, healing, and purpose... ... and showing them how to powerfully and effectively access the Akashic Records for themselves, on command – without ego mind, resistance, or self-doubt getting in the way. Imagine being able to... Tap into the universal field of Highest Consciousness (a.k.a. the Akashic field) at any time, regardless of what’s going on around you or in the world Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself”) Fully activate your “Heart Sight” – your capacity to live, see, and BE from your heart (feeling unconditional love for yourself and for others) Come home to your inner knowing TURN ON your deepest inner guidance, no longer having to second-guess yourself, ask for others' permission, or seek approval from anyone If you’re feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It’s because you have Soul-level work you must do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime. It’s part of your Soul’s blueprint. The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you’re meant to use them (1) to heal yourself and (2) to assist others in their process of healing and evolution, however that looks for you. The Records have been my steadfast, unwavering companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17). Over these 2 decades, they’ve helped me transform MAJOR stuff and – most importantly – supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime. This mission, for me, includes making the Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for others. This is why I’d love to spend 3 days with you in this Akashic Records intensive as we dive deep into the Akasha together. I’ll teach you everything you must know to powerfully connect to the Records – and use them as a tool of insight, transformation, and quantum healing. Interested in joining us?

How do we reconcile an injustice that we observe in the outside world with our deep spiritual knowledge that ultimately there is a divine order at play... and that the reality we're experiencing now is a temporary figment (or illusion) that we're all creating together? Are we meant to take immediate action when we observe a pain or injustice in the world? Are we meant to work on ourselves internally first, and/or WHILE we are taking action to correct these injustices? These are some of the complex questions I'm addressing in this episode of Inner Work, after receiving a thoughtful email from a listener. Join me for a discussion of: why inner work is so critical for healers, changemakers, and activists how to align yourself with your deepest purpose and understand the role you're meant to play in this lifetimespecific questions to ask yourself to get a clearer sense of where and how your gifts are most neededhow to connect to your intuition to know when you must take immediate action (to correct an injustice) and when you must move into acceptance or letting go Thank you to Dana for writing in with this important topic.

Welcome to another episode of INNER WORK!  In this one, I dispel some myths and misconceptions about what it means to be spiritual, and what is required of us as spiritual and evolved beings. I also invite you to challenge some limited beliefs we might have internalized from the mainstream spiritual community. I address topics such as: you can be spiritual and... make a lot of money (so you can be a conscious steward of abundance and help humanity evolve through your contributions)you can be spiritual and... set firm boundaries with people (only YOU get to choose who and what is allowed into your life and energy field)you can be spiritual and... feel human emotions like sadness, anger, resentment, grief (they will NOT derail your manifestations, if you allow yourself to feel them without judgment)you can be spiritual and... ENJOY earthly pleasures and experiences Thank you for being here and for continuing to work on your evolution. It makes a difference!

Did you know that, in addition to offering us divine guidance, healing, and wisdom, the Akashic Records can serve as a potent tool of manifestation? In this episode of Inner Work, I teach you some ways to harness the power of the Akashic Records to manifest your highest desires (in alignment with your authentic self, and for the highest good of all concerned.)

Your ego self is the façade of yourself you have unconsciously and inevitably created as a consequence of living in a society, in a family, in a particular human culture. This ego self is a protective construct; a version of ourselves we create in order to blend in, to be accepted by others, to be liked, to be seen as worthy or valuable... and most of all, to not stand out or be kicked out of the tribe. Your ego is, therefore, concerned with your survival and with how you come across to others. Above everything else. Join me for a discussion of: how your ego self gets createdhow the agendas and concerns of your ego often clash with the higher-level purpose and desires of your Soulthe ego's tactics for keeping you "safe"how your ego feeds you lies and illusions... and how to start shattering them (to get your ego out of the way) Thank you for being here and for continuing to do your inner work!

Being in a state of victimhood is NOT FUN. It can be extremely challenging, painful, and difficult to get out of -- especially since it's an unconscious state of being. By virtue of living in a human family, society, and culture, we're often conditioned or taught (unconsciously) to use victimhood to bond with others, to get sympathy or care, or to lower others' expectations of us. In this episode of Inner Work, I talk in depth about what victimhood really is, how and why we might get stuck in it, and how to identify when you're operating from a state of victimhood in your life. I also share ways in which the Akashic Records can powerfully help you shift out of victimhood and claim your full power, self-worth, and energy.

This episode of INNER WORK is all about claiming your spiritual and divine gifts, stepping into your authentic self fully, and aligning with the sacred service you're here to offer humanity. You have a unique and important role to play in humanity's evolution, and you have gifts that can assist other humans in becoming freer and more conscious beings. So what are those gifts you carry within you, what are some deeper layers of those gifts, and how can you begin claiming your inner power fully? If you feel deep in your Soul that you're here to be of service in a meaningful way, join me as we explore these questions... and more. Thank you for being willing to step into the sacred work you're here to do. No one else can do it YOUR way, so your presence is absolutely essential.

We all inevitably grow up with and internalize certain cultural beliefs and assumptions. These can include beliefs about life, family, relationships, the world, ourselves... as well as cultural standards about physical appearance, money, success, and what we "should" do or be to fit in. These beliefs can truly limit us or cause suffering and stuckness in our lives. As you walk your path of awakening, it's important to question the cultural beliefs and assumptions you've taken on unconsciously. In this episode, I talk about: my discovery of an insidious cultural belief I had been carrying (the belief that "life will eventually disappoint you")how these cultural beliefs and assumptions get internalizedhow we're conditioned to want things that our culture says we should want... instead of allowing ourselves to follow our authentic desireshow to begin noticing and releasing cultural ideas and assumptions that have held you hostage To take your inner work to the next level, check out my resources for self-healing here: https://josephinehardman.com/resources/ You can join my email community and receive my free Akashic Records Mini Course here: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Connect with me by visiting https://josephinehardman.com or sending a note to me@josephinehardman.com Thank you for spending this time with me!

Are you trying to prove your generosity, worth, value, intelligence, or integrity to the wrong people? To people who will never really get it? In this episode of EVOLUTION, I talk about this insidious pattern of trying to prove yourself to everyone -- even people who will never appreciate or be able to receive what you're trying to give (or who you are as a person). I share a story from my own life of trying to prove myself to the wrong people, including family members and potential clients. I also walk you through a series of powerful prompts for self-reflection, so you can identify where and how you've been trying to prove yourself to the wrong people... and how to stop!
