When the Past Reappears - What Now?
As humans, we’re linear beings. We go through situations or experiences, good or unpleasant, and then the world tugs us along, encouraging us to keep putting one foot in front of the other, moving forward, onto the next. Time pushes us ahead. New things come into our lives. We move forward, forward, forward.
Sometimes, with this continual forward motion, we forget to truly process the past. We forget to look at an experience, to look at it fully, to feel what comes with it, to process the lessons or the impact it had on us. If an experience isn’t properly processed, we may see remnants of it reappear - and usually when we least expect it.
There’s no need to cringe in fear, my friend. It may feel terrible to think about reliving some aspects or experiences from your past, but I assure you, it’s coming back up for your greatest good, to release you from anything that doesn’t serve you, so you can truly move on from it.
I’ve experienced this recently. So have many of my clients. There is a lot that is re-emerging and rising to the surface, for a lot of people right now. Have you experienced this too? It can be confusing. Why now after all this time? What are the chances you would run into that long-lost childhood friend at the grocery store, the one you haven’t seen in decades, the one who doesn’t even live near you? What are the chances??
Well, the odds are not high you would run into them and yet there they are. Right in front of you. Similarly, there was nothing that triggered a memory from an old situation from years ago and yet there you are, dreaming of it, thinking of it, confused by its sudden reappearance in your mind.
So why is the past reappearing so intensely for many of us right now? I wish I had solid, concrete answers for you. But, what I do know is there’s a big release happening. We are being asked to let go of what is holding us back. We are being asked to purge the deep drawers of our beings, like the back of the closet type outfits we know we’ll never wear again as they take up precious space.
There are some things we are not meant to carry with us any longer. It’s time to look at these things, really stare them in the face and then Let. Them. Go. Can you feel the lightness that flows in as you think of that? The burden off your shoulders? Whatever is reappearing for you, sit with it (if you need a professional to explore it with you, book a session with me and I’ll hold the safe space for you) and then decide it’s okay to be done with it.
I can assure you, such beautiful things await you when you’ve cleared out the old and made space for the new.
We’re all evolving, at a faster rate now. And while we could push things to the back of the closet before, we cannot do that now. So embrace the surprise reappearances, tune-in to the messages there and know that you’re always being guided to all the best things.
Love and Light and Angelic Blessings,

What It's Like Mirroring the Energy of Others
I am the mirror for your energy. I’ve known this for most of my life. It’s one of the roles I came here in this lifetime to hold. I wanted to talk about this concept with you today, because with this role, I face a lot of misconceptions and preconceived notions. Being the mirror is not an easy position to be in. While I am here to reflect your energy back to you, I am often the punching bag or the dumping spot for a lot of painful and heavy things.
I am not complaining. I am not sharing this to invoke sympathy. I am sharing this to create awareness. Awareness in what it means to be the mirror as well as awareness in how you are operating and what you are assuming about others.
So let’s first talk about what it means to be a mirror for someone else. These are the kinds of people who are there to illuminate something in yourself. They reflect back the qualities, habits, or actions you may not always want to look at. These people can often trigger you as they are shining brightly back to you what you are not ready or willing to see. In a reading or session with me, I will never share anything Spirit has informed me you aren’t ready to receive. But I will highlight areas that need more attention, all for your greatest and highest good. Whether you are the mirror for others or you’re finding your own struggles are being reflected back you, it’s important to notice and cultivate awareness around this. The more you pay attention, the more growth will occur.
I do my own inner work, I keep my vibration high and yet, a lot comes my way that can be heavy, draining, and entirely negative. It’s been like this for most of my life. People assume they know who I am and have created preconceived notions around who they think I am. People judge me based off of what they’ve heard from others. A lot of rumours, gossip and low-vibrational energy always finds its way to me as people need a place for their baggage. And I am tasked with maintaining my own wellbeing in the midst of this.
It’s not an easy role (did I mention that already? Lol), but I am here to stop this negative chain, the pattern that can flow between people as they spread gossip, believe unfounded truths and live their lives following the dark that is masquerading as the light (see a whole blog article on this topic here!)
I am not here to solve all your problems. I am not even here to make it all feel better. I would love to be able to do that for you. But the only one who can truly improve your life is you. I am here to hold space for you, to reflect back to you the things you really need to look at and it’s not always a fun, jubilant experience. But it’s necessary for your soul’s growth, to raise your vibration here in this lifetime.
So be mindful of how you are showing up in this world, what rumours you believe and what judgements you make before finding the truth on your own. Be sure you are following the white light and never the darkness presenting itself as the light.
Mirrors may trigger you, but it’s for your own greatest good, I promise. Just don’t take your anger out on them.
If you need guidance as your work through all that is being illuminated for you, I am here to shed more light, to provide next steps forward with loving compassion and utmost understanding. If this aligns with you, book a reading with me or signup for one of my courses.
Sending love and light and angelic blessings,
