Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

How do you build a full-time spiritual, healing, or coaching business without compromising your integrity?

After 10 years of running my own Akashic Records practice, here are the 7 principles that have kept my business sustainable, profitable, and deeply aligned.

In 2017, I left a successful career teaching college-level English and Shakespeare to do spiritual work full-time. I didn't know where life would take me! In the ensuing years, I've created far more abundance and stability through this work than I ever did in academia. (Not to mention that I get to work with my Soulmate clients every day, which is my life's honor and joy.)

In this episode of INNER WORK, I share what actually made that possible, including a couple of opportunities I turned down (and why saying NO was the right call).

Join me for a discussion of:

• Why getting clear on your deeper, Soul-level "WHY" makes all the difference in staying consistent, and consistently showing up online to share your work
• The importance of building a genuine community based on trust and rapport
• Why sharing your best work generously online (for free!) will attract many more Soulmate clients to you, not less
• Why it's key to connect daily to a source of Divine guidance (and your own inner wisdom) as you build your business
• The KEY question I ask every single day to grow my business
• Why I've turned down certain opportunities or chose not to follow a business coach's advice

Thank you for tuning in and walking the spiritual path with me!

What belief is quietly running your decisions right now, and likely not serving you?

In this pick-a-card reading, we'll work with the Akashic Records and the Tarot to bring a hidden belief into the light so you can see it clearly and begin to shift it.

Some of the most influential beliefs in our lives don't feel painful at all. They feel like virtues, or part of our core identity and simply "who we are." This reading invites you to look much deeper and release what's not supporting your growth and expansion.

Choose card 1, 2, or 3 (or, if you're listening on the podcast, pick a number between 1 and 3). Trust your intuition, don't overthink it, and see what lands.

As always, this reading is for introspection, self-reflection, and genuine healing... not prediction.

Journal prompt to go deeper: whichever card & message you chose, ask yourself, "Where in my life have I seen this pattern before? What triggers it, and what is its origin story?"

If you've taken an Akashic Records course (or read about the Records online) and thought "is this all there is??" or were left wanting more depth, this episode of INNER WORK is for you.

In this discussion, I share why many people get stuck or hit up against self-doubt as they develop their Akashic Records connection, and practical ways to go beyond the basics.

Join me for a discussion of:

• Why the "airy-fairy" approach to the Records leaves you feeling empty or wanting more
• Why "just say the portal prayer and it will work!" can be misleading and even harmful, often shaming students when their connection to the Records doesn't happen instantly or effortlessly
• The hidden fears that quietly block a deeper connection
• 6 practical tips to strengthen your connection
• What to look for in an Akashic Records training, whether you choose to work with me or another teacher

Welcome! For this month's Akashic Records forecast, I'm tapping into the Field and pulling a 3-card Tarot spread to explore the incoming energy for October.

We'll explore:

• main energetic themes for Oct 2026 (beginning, middle, and end of the month)
• where your Soul may be asking you to grow or keep healing
• how to move beyond patterns of giving your power away, asking others for permission to be yourself (or to connect to Divine Source!), or holding back on your gifts
• how to navigate some important choices & decisions coming up this month
• suggestions from the Records to make the best "spiritual use" of October

October will be a month of great shifts, both internally and externally, when it comes to power structures and how you relate to authority figures, institutions, and belief systems in your society or culture.

This is a channeled reading from the Akashic Records combined with the symbolism and wisdom of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck.

Whether you're new to the Records or a longtime seeker, this forecast offers grounded, practical spiritual guidance you can actually use in your daily life this month.

💬 I'd love to know — which part of this reading (and which card) resonated most with you? Let me know by sending a note to me@josephinehardman.com

To see the cards as we go through them, you can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aM0E12t2iAw

This is a NEW heart-opening meditation and guided journey in the Akashic Records.

We'll open the Records together and tune into this powerful field of quantum healing, Divine wisdom, and unconditional Love... which will enable you to:

• connect to, open, and balance your heart chakra
• drop from your head (ego mind, mental chatter, etc) to your heart
• experience the flow of unconditional Love directly from the Akashic Field
• expand the frequency of your heart and see yourself through a lens of unconditional acceptance & compassion
• extend forgiveness and understanding to any parts (or versions) of yourself that may need it, past or present
• boost your capacity for self-love, self-confidence, and self-trust

We'll start with a few deep, grounding breaths to arrive fully into the present moment. From there, we'll drop down into the heart chakra and begin inviting this flow of Love to radiate throughout your whole being.

No two people experience the Akashic Records the same exact way. Even the same person accessing the Records on two different occasions will likely have two different experiences.

The Akashic Records will ALWAYS provide you with whatever you most need to heal, see, understand, feel, or know. The Records will orchestrate the most relevant, useful, meaningful, and necessary experience for you, every single time you journey there.

To illustrate this point, I'm sharing two real case studies in this episode of INNER WORK: one of my very first openings of the Records back in 2004, and a recent opening from one of my Akashic Records Certification students. These openings are completely different experiences, and both are completely valid.

In my 2004 opening, I found myself standing before massive, ancient wooden doors — carved, alive, waiting. What came through was a flood of light, a sense of homecoming, and a guide I hadn't met before: a Wizard-like figure who turned out to be one of my own Guides (a "Master") in the Records. There was a forehead-to-forehead energy exchange, a merging of light, and a wave of unconditional Love unlike anything I'd felt before.

My student's experience was nothing like that. She went in with no agenda, just practicing surrender. What she got wasn't visions or grand revelations — instead, she initially came up against frustration, self-judgment, and the fear of disappointment... all common patterns she had been carrying in her life previously. The Records brought these up so she could fully feel them, see them for what they were, and then release them through an overwhelming wave of self-compassion that showed up as warmth, an orb of light, some tears, and colors swirling in her heart. Her healing was quieter, internal, and just as profound.

The Akashic Records don't work off a script or specific expectations of what "should" happen when you connect. Sometimes you'll see things. Sometimes you'll hear things. Sometimes you'll just FEEL: a sensation, an emotion, a knowing. Sometimes "nothing" seems to happen at all, other than a deep silence... because that's the exact medicine you needed that day.

Staying open to this vast range of possibilities is a key practice and the best way to receive what you MOST need from the Records, every single time.

We're living through a collective crisis of purpose. Disconnection, confusion, loss of direction... so many people are waking up and questioning WHY they're here and WHO they really are.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore why now — at this crucial moment in our personal and collective history — so many of us are being called back to the Akashic Records (or what I like to call "Akashic Resonance"): a living field of unconditional love, wholeness, and Divine connection that's always available to us.

We'll talk about:

• Why this "dark night of the Soul" so many are experiencing is actually a catalyst for awakening
• What Akashic Resonance really means — and why it's a better name & descriptor than "records"
• How tuning into this field aligns you with your Higher Self and Soul-level purpose
• Why this moment — with the dawn of AI, disclosure of intergalactic intelligence, and shifting definitions of what it means to be human — is when we MOST need this Divine connection in our lives
• The powerful role the Akashic Records are here to play in humanity's collective evolution

If you've felt that pull, that inner longing to return home to yourself and discover what's actually REAL... this discussion is for you.

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

This guided meditation and spiritual practice is designed to help you connect with your Spirit Guides. Whether you're new to Spirit Guide communication or looking to deepen an existing connection, this practice will help you meet, recognize, and receive messages from the Guide who most needs to reach you right now.

In this session, you'll be guided through breathwork and visualization to raise your consciousness, activate your intuition, and open yourself to receive guidance, healing, and support from the spiritual dimension.

Spirit Guides can appear in many forms: as light, color, animals, archetypal figures, or familiar human-like beings. This meditation creates the space for that connection to unfold naturally.

What you'll experience:

•

A calming, breath-based induction to reach a receptive, meditative state

•

Guidance to raise your energy and consciousness beyond the ego mind

•

An invitation and invocation to call forth your Spirit Guide

•

An intuitive, guided journey to learn your Guide's name, message, and purpose

•

Space to ask for guidance, healing, and support moving forward

•

A grounding return to full waking awareness

This meditation can support your intuitive development, expansion of consciousness, and connection with your Higher Self and spirit team. Practice regularly to build a stronger, clearer relationship with your Guides over time.

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

Our Akashic Records Guidance + Forecast for September 2026 is a BIG one.

Behind-the-scenes note: I originally planned to record for 30 minutes, but ended up going much longer because the Records were sharing so much with us!

You'll especially want to tune in for the second Tarot card (and Akashic messages) that came through, as it's directly connected to the individual and collective paths of awakening and Higher Purpose we're being called to step into.

September will be a month of spiritual acceleration, deeper awakening, and re-aligning to the higher frequency you're here to hold, not just for yourself but to serve as a beacon of Light for others.

Join me for the full episode for this plus much more, including:

• what to expect + what's heading our way collectively and individually in September
• where your Soul may be asking you to grow or keep healing
• how to stay aligned with your highest purpose this month
• direct guidance from the Records to make the best "spiritual use" of September, including a focusing question to go back to daily or weekly

This is a channeled reading from the Akashic Records combined with the symbolism and wisdom of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck.

Whether you're new to the Records or a longtime seeker, this forecast offers grounded, practical spiritual guidance you can actually use in your daily life this month.

💬 I'd love to know — which part of this reading (and which card) resonated most with you? Let me know by sending a note to me@josephinehardman.com

Have you often felt a pull towards something beyond the physical world? A knowing that there's more going on than what science and logic alone can explain?

You might be one of the select people whose Soul came into this lifetime specifically to work with the Akashic Records.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I'm sharing 5 signs the Akashic Records are calling you to access them, including:

• You've always identified as a spiritual seeker, even if life took you on a "detour" away from that path at certain times
• You feel drawn to the mysteries of the cosmos and are deeply interested in astrology, astronomy, quantum physics, and other metaphysical explorations
• The term "Akashic Records" (or "Akasha", "Akash", etc) keeps showing up in your life
• You've had dreams, meditations, or past-life experiences involving a cosmic library — and maybe even met the Record Keepers
• You came into this lifetime with a clear, strong mission to heal old karma, break generational patterns, and live from a place of higher consciousness

If these resonate, your Soul may be calling you to visit, explore, and work actively with the Akashic Records in your life.

You can start this journey today with my FREE Akashic Records Mini Course: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/

Ever open the Akashic Records and feel like you're getting... nothing? Crickets, silence, a blank space where you expected downloads, information, Divine messages?

If yes, you're not alone... and it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening when you feel "stuck" in the Records or when it seems like you're not getting anything, including:

• ✨ Why learning to read the Akashic Records is a skill that takes practice (just like learning an instrument or language)
• ✨ Why silence and subtlety can be just as purposeful as big, loud downloads
• ✨ How to recognize when your ego mind is throwing up resistance — and what to do about it
• ✨ Why fearful or jarring imagery is NEVER coming from the unconditionally loving field of the Records (it's always coming from ego!)
• ✨ How to trust that something is always happening, even when it doesn't feel like it

If you've ever questioned your ability to connect, or wondered if you're "doing it right," this one's for you.

As mentioned in the episode, here's my previous video on understanding the language of the Akashic Records: https://youtu.be/oof4g8cBGvw

Every one of us carries innate spiritual gifts - intuition, healing abilities, multidimensional awareness, the capacity to sense what lies beyond the veil. But too often, without realizing it, we get in our own way and engage in habits or patterns that block the full expression of these gifts.

In this episode of INNER WORK, we explore five common (and often unconscious) habits that delay spiritual awakening and keep you from fully activating and living from your gifts... plus how to recognize each one with compassion, not judgment.

This is a deep, honest look at the inner and outer obstacles that we often run into as humans on the spiritual path. There's no toxic shame or self-blaming here, just an open invitation to expand your awareness of these old patterns, release what doesn't serve, and reclaim your full, authentic power.

In this episode, we cover:

• Impatience & self-doubt — how fear-based doubt about your gifts (and your healing journey) can quietly sabotage your progress, and why meeting self-doubt with clarity — rather than believing it — is essential
• Slipping into unconsciousness or ego mind — the old coping mechanisms (overworking, people-pleasing, numbing out) that pull you out of presence, and how ego convinces you that you or your gifts "aren't enough"
• Spiritual bypassing — using spiritual tools, places, or practices to escape reality rather than integrating it, and why true growth requires grounding your spirituality in everyday human life
• Outgrowing or mismatching your support systems — how to discern when therapists, healers, or other guides are (or aren't) equipped to support you through a genuine spiritual awakening
• Energetic discernment — why being selective about who and what you allow into your inner circle and energy field directly impacts your ability to stay aligned and let your gifts flow

Whether you're just beginning to awaken to your gifts or you're deepening your existing spiritual connection, this episode offers grounded, compassionate guidance for recognizing what's been holding you back... and reclaiming your full spiritual expression.

For additional support, here's my "Activate Your Spiritual Gifts" Guided Meditation in the Akashic Records: https://youtu.be/Gdkqguu1kY0

I mentioned author, spiritual teacher, and psychiatrist Stanislav Grof in this episode. If you want to explore his work further, I recommend his books Spiritual Emergency and The Stormy Search for the Self.

Are you ready to awaken and fully claim your intuitive, healing, and multidimensional gifts?

In this powerful guided meditation, we journey into the Akashic Records to clear the blocks, self-doubt, and old fear holding you back... so we can activate your full spiritual potential.

In this session, you'll be guided to activate:

✨ Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing) — receive messages through your spiritual sight & third eye, and be able to see beyond the veil of physical reality ✨ Clairsentience (Clear Sensing/Feeling) — feel truth in your body and discern intuitive guidance ✨ Claircognizance (Clear Knowing) — access deep inner knowing and multi-lifetime wisdom ✨ Clairaudience (Clear Hearing) — hear the truth beneath words, connect to the guidance of your Higher Self, and receive Spirit's messages ✨ Healing — awaken your body's full capacity to heal and your power as a Lightworker

Carve out this sacred time, get as comfortable as you can, and let yourself be held in this journey. All you need is an open heart and a willingness to receive.

👉 If this meditation supports you, hit subscribe so you don't miss future sessions... and share it with someone who needs to reconnect with their gifts.

Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation:

• make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted
• eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible
• listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers
• set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible)
• please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less)
• get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open
• please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : )

As you heal and continue awakening on your spiritual path, you'll often start doing things like: showing up as authentically yourself in the world, setting healthier boundaries, and saying NO instead of compulsively saying YES to things you don't really want to do.

You'll also start outgrowing certain people, places, relationships, and situations.

As you do all of this, some people will... freak out. Or react defensively. Or take it as a personal rejection. Or minimize the value of what you're doing. Or just not understand.

Unconsciously, people might try to sabotage your healing and keep you from growing.

Let's talk about WHY this happens, HOW it can show up, and what you can do to keep healing anyway.

In episode #3 of "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis", we'll explore:

• how your spiritual growth and healing can feel threatening, uncomfortable, or inconvenient to other people
• WHY people might try to unconsciously sabotage your healing (where this impulse really comes from)
• specific ways in which people might try to derail you or stop your growth
• the language people might use to mock, minimize, or criticize your spiritual path... especially as you begin asserting and prioritizing yourself
• why intentional solitude can be a key part of spiritual awakening
• how to best support yourself through this kind of situation, and continue healing & growing anyway
• practicing discernment about when, where, and with whom to share your sacred spiritual experiences

Here's the previous episode on "When you feel invisible (or like an alien) around other people": https://youtu.be/-rPUSAXM7Ac

In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".

Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home.

It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.

Join me for a no-nonsense, grounded, transformative exploration of the spiritual awakening process and an empowering approach to the dark night of the Soul.

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

The Akashic Records are often misunderstood — seen as a static archive of information, reduced to past-life healing, gatekept by claims of special psychic ability, or treated as something you only access through one "correct" method.

In this episode, I'm setting the record *about* the Records straight.

We're breaking down the top misconceptions that keep people from connecting to the Records consistently and confidently, including:

• The belief that the Records are purely informational or static
• The myth that the Akashic Records are only for past-life work (and why "current lifetime relevance" is a core principle of how I teach this practice)
• The idea that you need to be "psychic" or able to "see" things to receive guidance through the Records
• The false notion that there's one right prayer, ritual, or method for opening the Records
• Misconceptions about connecting with spiritual beings and guides (including angels, archangels, Ascended Masters) within the Akashic Field
• And the #1 myth of all… make sure to catch that one at the end of the episode!

The truth? The Akashic Records aren't meant to be reserved for ideal or perfect conditions that rarely exist in daily, human life. They're here to support you in the middle of real life — laundry, inbox, deadlines, kids, chaos, and all. Ultimately, bringing the Records into your everyday decisions, conversations, and emotional states IS the practice.

If you're ready to move past the confusion & nonsense and start connecting to the Records with clarity and consistency, this one's for you.

Do you sometimes feel invisible (or like an alien) around other people, maybe even your own family?

Like everyone else is speaking English, or Spanish, or Japanese, or some other "native" language... and you're speaking alien gibberish that no one can understand??

If so, you're not alone!

In this bonus episode of "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis", we'll explore:

• why spiritual awakening can create an energetic mismatch between you & your old life (including relationships, places, situations, people you used to be ok with)
• what's really happening, beneath the surface, when you feel invisible even in a room of people
• why "performing normalcy" or trying to "fit in" can be so exhausting for intuitives, Highly Sensitive People, Starseeds, and Lightworkers
• examining honestly which relationships & connections are worth keeping in your life post-awakening (and which need to be released)
• learning to use the present moment - including the feeling or belief of being invisible - as a mindfulness practice & way of being with yourself unconditionally
• becoming a curious, non-judgmental observer of other people's behaviors
• personal story from my own life and family dynamics, and how I've been navigating all of this!

In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".

Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home.

It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.

Join me for a no-nonsense, grounded, transformative exploration of the spiritual awakening process and an empowering approach to the dark night of the Soul.

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!

In this Akashic Records meditation, we'll carve out sacred time to slow down, retreat from the external world, and return home to your natural inner rhythm.

In our modern, fast-moving, often chaotic world, we've gotten lost in the weeds of external noise & chatter & endless stimuli... which also means we've disconnected from the pace of nature and from our own natural, healthy, aligned, inner rhythms.

In this guided Akashic Records experience, we'll slow everything down so your body, cells, mind, and Spirit can be restored, refreshed, and inevitably find their way back to balance and wholeness.

Join me for this profound journey where you'll receive healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source).

Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation:

• make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted
• eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible
• listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers
• set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible)
• please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less)
• get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open
• please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : )

Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference!
