In this heartfelt episode of "Priestess Musings," we dive deep into the world of spiritual teachers and guides. I reflects on my own experiences with mentors in the spiritual, health, and wellness spaces, sharing personal stories of triumph and caution. As more people turn to spiritual teachers for guidance, how can we differentiate between a genuine teacher and a potential pitfall? How can we ensure we’re aligned with mentors who empower rather than mislead?

In this podcast I offer practical advice for being a smart spiritual consumer, setting personal standards for teachers, and maintaining your sovereignty. Whether you're just starting your spiritual journey or seeking to strengthen your connection with the divine, this episode will inspire you to trust your intuition, do your research, and prioritize your own inner authority.

Key Takeaways:

1. Trust Your Intuition: If something feels off about a spiritual teacher, trust that instinct. It’s okay to question and move away from a guide who doesn’t align with your values.
2. Be a Smart Spiritual Consumer: Always research the teachers and mentors you align with, ensuring they reflect the qualities and integrity you value. Look beyond the charisma.
3. Set Personal Standards: Know what you’re looking for in a teacher. Create a list of values that are non-negotiable, and stick to them.
4. Spiritual Growth Comes from Empowerment: A good teacher will never ask you to give up your power but will encourage you to stand in your own sovereignty.
5. When to Move Away: If you ever feel like you’re part of a cult-like following or a community where you can’t fully be yourself, it’s time to reevaluate and consider moving away.

Reflection Question: What are your personal standards for spiritual or wellness mentors? How do you ensure you’re aligned with the right guides?

💗Hello Dear Sister!

One of the community members asked a question after my last relationship video which was, "How do I pull back and let a man lead?" That's an excellent question and I address it in this podcast episode.

We have had a lot around relationships with one of the eclipses happening in Libra, so that's where this series has been birthed. It is good for whenever you needed it.

Wishing you all the best in finding your beloved! Thank you for listening!

In this video, I discuss the September 2, 2024 new moon in Virgo. As much as many of us love spirituality, this moon is all about practical steps, planning and improving things.

But with Virgo, you will get lots done so set your intentions and get ready to manifest over this next year with this Virgo new moon.

Also, Virgo is the sign of the Inner Critic. Though she has helped us in the past, it's time to transform the Inner Critic to our Inner Creative, which is indicated by this moon. Bring inner calm, peace and confidence to your mind.

If you need help with that, I created the latest Sacred Goddess Toolkit for Healing Inner Criticism. The best way to create change is through the subconscious mind and that's how you can bring more compassion and confidence to your inner voice. This toolkit has hypnosis and subliminal tracks, self-belief affirmation deck and one of my favorite exercises called Draw Your Inner Gremlin, to help you become aware of your inner critic and create change.

Release your inner critic. Get your Sacred Goddess Healing Toolkit here: https://bit.ly/gbmshealinnercritic

This is a great week for women, love, money and relationships. Venus is very active so her topics will be at the forefront. The oracles support her interactions with Uranus, Pluto and Neptune which ask you to be a wild woman and to connect with Yemoja/Yemaya, the loving and gentle mother goddess.

I also mention that we will start to see eclipse themes come up as well as Mercury goes direct this week. WOO HOO! Mercury Retrograde ends on August 28th. 🎉🎉🎉

Have a wonderful week and blessings of the Great Mother and Ancestors be upon you and your now and always.

In this podcast I share my thoughts about love relationships as it's something that I talk about lots with my reading clients and coachees. My goal is to help you see a new approach to relationships based on astrology and self-compassion. Sometimes I feel like I can see very clearly where women have challenges in relationships but sometimes it takes time, healing and growth to navigate relationships. It is my hope that my understanding will give insight and hope to all the women looking for that long and happy relationship that you are searching for.

This is the first of several episodes that I will share. Take what feels good in this share and leave the rest. If you are listening to this podcast because you are looking for the special person, know that I am cheering for you every step of the way!

Peace and Love...Tirra💜
