Episode Details

Over the last couple of weeks, my emotions have been all over the place due to let’s call it light family drama. Waves of sadness would hit, seemingly out of nowhere.

Lion’s Gate Portal

Just as I started writing notes for this episode, I remembered that we’re in the midst of the Lion’s Gate portal (July 28th – August 12th). This portal creates heightened spiritual energy for personal growth and transformation. The peak is August 8th, the day this podcast was published.

Lion’s Gate is known for stirring up emotions and I’m feeling it! That energetic window intensifies feelings and brings up anything you thought you’d already worked through for another crack at the lesson. Oh joy.

Here’s My Story

So yes, I have a story about family drama or more specifically, how I allowed myself to be spiral down emotionally and what it took to recover and find my way back to center.

I’m not getting into the nitty-gritty, but I felt hurt and left out. It wasn’t just one incident, but a series of small moments that added up.

For example, there was a family event, and I wasn’t on the invitation list. Someone noticed the oversight and I did get a late invite. This wasn’t intentional — I truly believe that. Yet, I can’t help but think it was a subconscious thing.

The first thing I did was talk about it with friends and my husband. Everyone listened and were supportive, and I truly appreciated their kindness. But did it actually help? Not really. I still felt out of sorts.

A couple of people suggested ways to handle it or steps to take. However, nothing felt quite right. Deep down, I knew it was up to me to either change the situation or change how I was seeing it.

Navigate on My Own

I needed to find a way to navigate through without making it worse, especially since there was nothing concrete I could point to, and no specific harm done to me. It was more about what hadn’t happened, you know what I mean?

Time was spent wondering what my mom, who passed seven years ago, would say about all this. She was outspoken, like me. I thought about contacting a medium to hear her take from the other side, but I didn’t go through with it.

In the meantime, I did everything I know how to do when I’m emotionally stuck. I journaled, meditated, and asked my guides and angels for insight. And got… nothing. Total crickets.
