Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell

Divine Messengers

EP #318 - Divine Messengers - An Interview with author, Margaret Ann Lembo

I am happy and honored to welcome Margaret Ann Lembo to Empowering Chats.  In this interview we discuss Archangels and Saints. And more specifically how the vibe of angels can help us get through life’s challenges.

Margaret Ann Lembo is an award-winning author, aromatherapist and the owner of The Crystal Garden. She has also produced 7 Oracle Affirmation Decks.

In this powerful chat we dive into her latest book, The Essential Guide to Archangels and Saints.

According to Margaret, angels are energy. And archangels specifically are loving forces that are here to assist us in life.

Margaret began giving “Angel Talks” in the early 90s and from there evolved into writing about angels and exploring how they interweave into our lives.

Her book includes a comprehensive list of more than sixty archangels and saints with detailed profiles to help you easily find the specific spiritual beings that align with your needs. She provides you, the reader, a way to connect with your guides so that their wisdom can assist you along your life’s path.

Margaret feels that by working with the energy of the archangels and saints, you can deepen your connection to self and the Divine and thereby experience a more meaningful life here on earth.

The Gift of Shadow Work

EP #317 - The Gift of Shadow Work - An Interview featuring Shaman, Granddaughter Crow

 

I am honored to welcome Granddaughter Crow to Empowering Chats. Granddaughter Crow is a member of the Navajo Nation and a Shaman. She is also the author of Shamanism and Your Shadow.

In this chat we dive into the meaning of symbols, spirit animals and ancient wisdoms. Our main focus and the main theme in her book revolves around shadow work.

Granddaughter Crow walks us through the path of using spirit animals as guides to help us get to know our inner selves as well as our shadow side. According to Granddaughter Crow, working with our shadow side is a sacred practice and it does not have to be “scary” or “dark” as it is sometimes portrayed in our culture.

It is about recognizing the unseen and hidden aspects of the self. When the shadow is illuminated is when the gifts are also shown.

According to Granddaughter Crow working with our shadow is a sacred practice that can help us to re-balance and trust.  She likens it to the opening of a lotus flower which has many layers and sometimes the layers only appear when we are ready to accept and embrace our shadow.

Creative Legacy

EP #316 - Creative Legacy - A Solo Show featuring your host, Susan Burrell

As we enter into the month of April and Spring I am pausing and sharing my thoughts about our theme for the month of April. Legacy. What is a legacy? And what about us is unique and often noticed by our friends and family? How are we remembered when we are gone?  Many of us have our own ideas about what a legacy is or can be and l will touch on those ideas in this episode.

What I am also exploring and sharing in this podcast is the idea of what it means to leave behind a "Creative Legacy." 

I love my job because I get to interview so many fascinating people and many of them are authors.  I interviewed a poet and author last year, Jim Ellis about his newly released book, Breadcrumbs, Volume 2, Poems & Prose Found Along the Sacred Path.

Jim's insights about his life, the life of those that touched him and his universal message are all beautifully expressed in his book through beautiful prose and poetry. It is uplifting and engaging, and like the Hansel and Gretel fairytale, the analogy here is that breadcrumbs shall be left along the path so that there is a clear trail back to what you left behind or what you are meant to find.

Jim passed away earlier this year and I am dedicating this episode of Empowering Chats to his memory and the creative legacy his left behind.

Reclaiming Our Magic

EP. #315 - Reclaiming Our Magic, an interview with Witchpreneur and podcaster, Julie Foucht

I am thrilled to welcome Julie Foucht back to Empowering Chats for another in depth chat about the work she does including the magic of women and how we can reclaim our voice.

In this chat we discuss "witch wounds" and how, as a collective, we can raise our vibration. And through collaboration circles we can co-create new rules of behavior in both business and personal relationships.  

According to Julie, for many years we played the game of patriarchy. In this game when a man has power it is celebrated. If we have male witches they are revered, brilliant healers. In this game women are made to serve men. For much of that time when the feminine came into this game we said "okay we'll serve." But the times are changing and women are ready to create a new game. 

Julie believes the Patriarchy is shoving back saying they want new rules and they want to play this "new" game together. And yet they are also fighting this new way of being because there are no rules and what we are seeing is bullying tactics and lower vibration energy.

Both Julie and I believe we are here right now to integrate our shadow pieces and go back to our wholeness. It's about bringing the shadow side into the light and recognizing it for what it is. There is a part of us that wants to control what people do because we think our way is the "right" way.

And so how do we reintegrate those shadow parts of ourselves in a way that it changes the way the world operates? That is the work I believe we are all here to do.

All that is Possible

EP. #314 - All that is Possible, an interview with Astrologer and Author, Kate Rose

I am delighted to welcome Kate Rose back for an encore chat about her book, Written in the Stars.

In this episode we touch on the Astrology for this year of 2025 and we also talk about Twin Flames and what they represent in relationship to our individuality and in partnership with someone else. And it’s not what you think.

Ultimately what Kate and I explore is the time in space we are currently occupying and how we are all being affected.  I believe we are all here to be open-hearted and we are here to learn about how to give and receive love.

The month of March is particularly intense and transformative. Venus, the love planet is in retrograde for most of this month. Through the early part of the month many of us will be dealing with issues we haven’t wanted to face but can no longer ignore. When Venus comes out of retrograde and begins a forward movement we too will feel the energy shift and be ready to look forward. March 27^th ends Venus in retrograde.

This time in the collective is important, it is a time for us to collectively understand the oneness of the all.

As Kate so aptly put it, “As long as we are seeking power, we will not be able to seek the truth.”

Ancestral Clearing

EP. #313 - Ancestral Healing, a solo show with your host Susan Burrell

Fear, anger and feeling devalued are often handed down for generations until it is a part of our behaviors and beliefs that also can become part of the collective consciousness.  It is often why sustainable change is a challenge because we are unaware that we have become our ancestors.

Clearing the oaths, vows and beliefs that have been passed down through the generations can make room for new behaviors and development of our inner gifts.

In this solo podcast I explore ancestral lineage and how behaviors and norms are passed down from generation to generation in a way that it becomes the fabric of our existence and our family story.

When those wounds and beliefs are cleared it makes room for the development of your inner gifts and allows for the release of what no longer serves you.

Keeping It Real

EP. #312 - Keeping It Real, an interview with channeler and medium, Michelle Carpenter.

I am honored to welcome Michelle Carpenter to Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell. Michelle is a Spiritual Medium and a Channeler.

In this powerful chat we learn her story of trauma from a very young age and how she navigated that trauma by dis-associating from it.

As she reached her thirties, she began to investigate her life and her choices. It took a lot of hard work through counseling and facing her way of being in the world for her to heal.

Michelle recognizes that language is important, however just as important if not more so, is learning to speak from the heart. Michelle says heart to heart language means you show up with compassion and love and that is how we all get connected.

Learning to laugh through trauma or laugh at past experiences can also be very healing.  Sometimes having a sense of humor is how we get through traumatic experiences.

Michelle is the direct channel for the Council of 8, Angelic beings of light. They are here to guide humanity in sharing Truth and Love.

Michelle and I also talked about humanity and learning to tune in to each other. Surrendering and letting go is perhaps the best path to walk in this year of 2025 where so much change is occurring at a rapid pace.

Dynamic Neutrality

EP. #311 - Dynamic Neutrality, A solo show and guided meditation with your host, Susan Burrell

I think it is time to quiet the inner critic. Not easy to do and something I think we could all benefit from.

As a light leader I am inviting all light leaders to explore their inner landscape and learn more about what it means to be a light leader.

In this podcast I chat about my upcoming Light Leader, Soul Growth Workshop and what it means to be a light leader and to grow your soul.

This Empowering Chat also features a guided meditation. As I prepared for this show and this meditation the phrase, “Dynamic Neutrality” dropped into my mind.

For me being dynamic, means something is in constant motion or always changing and moving. A dynamic flow of energy. I believe the infinite is always growing by means of us. If I am growing my soul, then the oneness of all is also growing.

So how does that compare to neutrality? I believe neutrality is that place where we find peace within. A detached sort of peace that brings calm.

Almost like being on the balance beam where you find the perfect balance so that you can move forward and not fall off.

Vibrational Attunement

EP. #310 - Vibrational Attunement, An Interview with author and intuitive empath, Penney Pierce.

I know I say this all the time but I am going to say it again. I am so blessed and lucky to have the job that I have and be on the leading edge of conversations with people doing the work and spreading their wisdom out in the world.In this episode of Empowering Chats, I have a heartfelt conversation with author and intuitive empath, Penney Pierce.

Our topic is Frequency and Vibration.

Penney is celebrating the 15-year anniversary of her book, Frequency, The Power of Personal Vibration. The book has been reissued with additional chapters and a new intro.

This is one of her best-selling books with an ever-popular subject. She believes, people are starting to get it and are understanding and knowing that we all vibrate at different levels. Our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual bodies all have their own vibration. And the key is to reach attunement with all of these frequencies.

The planet also has it’s own vibrational frequency and many people on earth are beginning to become aware of this as well. The attunement happens in waves for many of us.

The key to accessing our frequency is to quiet the thinking brain, that side of ourselves that tries to create order and make sense of what is occurring in our physical plane. The body knows what to do and how to adapt to the frequency, we need to listen to that.

What really opens us according to Penney is to release the need for attention and identity and to allow yourself to be available and exposed so that the people and experiences you need to grow will find you. You draw what you need toward you and that’s how it happens. Trust and letting go is a big part of this growth process.

Igniting Soul Growth

Ep #309 - Igniting Soul Growth - A Solo Show with Your Host, Susan Burrell

Join me for this solo show where I chat about the Journey of Soul Growth. I tap into the idea of opulence. And what that can call forth for you, including freedom, opportunity, flow of source and the high frequency of love.

So how do we grow our soul? It requires a focused energy of courage, enthusiasm, using inspiration to know what your inner guidance system is trying to tell you. 

When we get challenges in our daily lives that seem insurmountable, that is a time for your soul to grow. The opportunity to grow on a deep inner level is always available to us.  Once you commit to really knowing yourself and you begin to pay attention and listen then the growth can begin. And it does not always occur in small increments; sometimes it can be a sudden burst of energy and growth.

The opportunity for Soul Growth is vast.

Are you ready to receive? For me 2025 is all about focusing within. Taking the journey of soul growth, of oneness and soul value. I encourage all of you to become consciously aware of what you are putting your focus on.

I believe it is important that we lift up and raise up our frequency by turning towards light and love. I believe that is why we are here.
