Ep #300 - Leading with Light - An interview with Therese Tucker a Modern Mystic
My guest for this episode of Empowering Chats is Therese Tucker. Therese is a Modern Mystic with many gifts. In this chat we tap into several topics including how the role of modern leadership is changing.
We both agree that we must always lead with light and love. This new way of leading, in my estimation, has to lean into the light. I believe this is the only way to reach our highest potential.
This powerful chat with Therese sheds light on how we as individuals can make changes in our day to day lives that will resonate out to the world. On a micro and macro level.
Therese is also an author and an energy practitioner. Her book is entitled, “Confidence of Magic.” Her passion is helping people to activate their intuition and develop their self-trust. When doubt creeps in is when we can begin to sabotage ourselves.
This is where “tough” love and reinforcement that we can do the hard things comes into play. Therese shares her thoughts regarding the cycles our souls experience here on earth so that we can grow our souls and learn the lessons we are here to learn.
The gems shared in this interview are amazing and worth leaning into – it may even take a second and third listen to absorb all that we unwrap in our chat.

Ep #299 - Speaking Your Truth - An interview with Kate Rose an author and astrologer
Welcome listeners to another Empowering Chat with Susan Burrell. This episode had me cooing and ahh-ing everywhere.
I am delighted to introduce my guest, author and astrologer, Kate Rose. Her latest book is entitled, Written in the Stars, The Astrology of Soulmate, Karmic and Twin Flame Relationships.
Kate calls herself a Spiritual Astrologer. She points out that the difference between what she does and what a trained astrologer does lies within the reading itself. When she does a reading, she digs up what is lying underneath the obvious. Like our childhood wounds, our successes and challenges and our family ties.
She looks at the entire life, at the person’s relationships, she goes deeper by asking, Why are you on this path?
Kate uses her heart, her hands and her mind to channel the message and to find the truth that the client is seeking, which she says is the whole point of the journey.
The Preface of Kate’s book opens with a letter to the reader. I was personally really caught, in a good way, by this letter, which reads in part: “You have never given up hope. You have never let your internal light become extinguished no matter how deep the darkness that you walked through. You have become a warrior in these moments, not just for love but for the truth. You know within the fabric of your being that you are meant for more, that love exists, and just because you have not had love work out in the past that does not mean it cannot happen in the future.”
Kate’s overall message is one of trust. And trusting yourself to feel what is occurring and allow for those feelings to show up.
Her book is insightful, beautifully written and offers empowering affirmations to help on the road of self-discovery.

Ep #298 - The Golden Ray of Light - A Solo Show, featuring a guided meditation by your host, Susan Burrell
With the 2024 election days away I feel called to lead you, my listeners, on a grounding meditation to allow for peace and love to occupy our collective space. Before I began the recording, I pulled two of my affirmation cards.
The first one stated: I am courageous and strong. And the second one stated: I am one with life. I am safe at all times. The world is safe and friendly. I am at peace with life.
I am always amazed when I do this practice because the exact right message always seems to show up. So, perhaps the world does not feel so safe and friendly right now particularly with so much fear swirling around but I do believe in a safe and friendly world.
And so, I invite you to listen to this guided meditation and allow your whole being to take in the words, the underlying messages and the love that is being communicated through the air waves.
As light leaders I believe we are here to hold a high frequency of love and to elevate our own conscious awareness so that by doing so we also elevate the conscious awareness of our planet. We are all connected.

Ep #297 - The Return of the Archetypes - An Interview Co-Authors, Amit Goswami & Valentina Onisor
I am honored to welcome a colleague and former teacher of mine when I was studying for my Masters Program, Amit Goswami. He joins me for this Empowering Chat along with Valentina Onisor. Together they have co-authored a book called, The Return of the Archetypes.
In this powerful chat we look at what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose. According to both Amit and Valentina, our job is to balance the positive and the negative. We live in an era of quick fixes, information overload and consumerism. This is all part of the human condition.
There are steps we can take to become aware of the obstacles that we are up against. Amit and Valentina’s book sheds light on the work we can do to discover our mission in this life. And tapping into the archetypes is one tool available to all of us. It’s about allowing and seeing how those archetypes embody the divine attributes. Attributes like, love, understanding, integrity, kindness, etc. The more we can cultivate the divine virtues and values in our life is when things can begin to change.
Valentina feels that one of the best places to start is with The Enneagram, a personality theory that classifies people into nine personality types based on their core motivation, desires and fears. By understanding your personality and the filters in which you view life you can then become aware and have access to all parts of yourself, including your soul.
The ultimate power resides in the heart. It takes courage to tap into that power and allow that to show up for you and to lead from that space.

Hope in the Uncertainty

Ep #296 - Hope in the Uncertainty - An Interview with Medium, Hollister Rand
I am so excited to share this fun and insightful conversation of Empowering Chats with my guest Hollister Rand.
All of my circuits are lit up. Hollister is a medium and the author of, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Afterlife but were Afraid to Ask.”
In this chat, Hollister and I dive into interesting topics and this new state of awareness of how we live, not only here but in the afterlife.
I received Hollister’s book as a gift from one of my students and after reading it I knew I had to have her on Empowering Chats.
She describes the difference between Mediums and Psychics as follows: Mediums and Psychics can often get the same kinds of information but the source is different. Psychics get their information from people, places and things here on this earth plan. Whereas Mediums connect with spirits, spirit guides, angels, pets and those that have passed on to the other side.
Hollister believes that more of our ancestors are making themselves known to people now because we are reaching out more and doing the ask. And having organizations like Ancestry.com and 23 and Me gives us the tools we need to reach out. And for this reason, Hollister believes tribes and more ancestors are showing up in the spirit world and making themselves known to loved ones on earth’s plane.
Hollister also shares that when you are aligned with spirit you don’t have to figure out your life. The strategy for your life changes. Her direct quote is to “Live in confidence of the next step.” It’s not about knowing it’s about having the confidence to take the next step.
Hope lies in the uncertainty. This is a direct message that Hollister received from spirit. This is where the best can happen by allowing the possibilities to present themselves and not limiting ourselves by our own self-doubt.
Hollister calls this place of all possibilities “The Place of No Fragments.” And I’d like to share a quote from her book that supports the place of no fragments:
“A place where everything fits together, where it all makes sense, where we not only see the big picture but are also an integral part of it. Sounds as though this oneness is what spirits want to share with us. One puzzle piece at a time.”
Ultimately Hollister feels that love is the answer. We have heard it so many times. And this is a love that we are only beginning to understand, the love of self. Because only from that spring of self-love can we spread love to everyone else on this planet.

Ep #295 - The Freedom to Vote - A solo show with your host, Susan Burrell
As the date nears for us as a nation to vote I felt compelled to share my thoughts on Empowering Chats. I normally only do one solo show a month. This month you get a bonus.
I believe we are at a pivotal point in our history. Both in our country and globally. I am grateful to be living through these incredible times. And I strongly believe that we can find truth and guidance through The Declaration of Independence, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you find yourself in.
We are all in charge of our own choice(s). We must pay attention to our inner divinity within. When we become consciously aware is when we can reach for the higher vision that our founding fathers had for our country. They were all visionaries, looking for a way to support a democracy of equality, freedom and justice for all. When we focus on the highest of principles, including happiness and well-being, then we can begin to actualize a high frequency of love for all. I truly believe this.
And so, ask yourself: Are you accessing a high frequency of love for all? Or are you mucking about in a low-frequency of fear that is manifesting as anger?
Take a listen to how you answer and if need be, consider pivoting toward the power of light and love for the highest good of all.
And exercise your right and your freedom to vote. Our founding fathers worked hard in creating The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States so that all Americans would be granted the same freedoms.

Ep #294 - The Power of the Mind - featuring an interview with author and teacher, Joseph Selbie
The power of the mind is endless and far-reaching at times. Yet we as humans don't always believe we have the power to alter our health conditions.
My guest for this episode of Empowering Chats, Joseph Selbie believes we do have the tools we need to tackle dis-ease and have unlimited self-healing.
Joseph is an author and a teacher, and he is here today to explore this subject with me.
Joseph’s latest book is entitled: The Physics of Miraculous Healing, How Emotion, Mind and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.
In this powerful chat we dive into the idea of unlimited healing and the science behind it.
Joseph explains that this is more about physics than modern medicine. Modern medicine is limited in the model it uses to diagnose health. Whereas modern day physics is more energy-centered and energy-based.
It’s about learning ways to shift our beliefs so that we are focusing on our health – the positivity of our health in a way that feels correct for us, for the individual.
Joseph believes we possess 3 powerful tools that we can tap into: Emotions, Beliefs and the ability to connect to something higher. These 3 powers are the key to improving our health.
He also suggests spending more time with people who are positive. And reading and researching your condition. Especially important to read about others who overcame their condition. The common denominator among many survivors of cancer or terminal conditions is that they switched their beliefs.
Meditation is also very important. By meditating you can help yourself get in touch with who you really are and listen to what your body is saying to you.
Practice and patience with these tools and daily actions helps build momentum and shift beliefs to the positive.

Humanity's Growth Spurt!

Ep #293 - Humanity's Growth Spurt! - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell
Welcome to the month of October 2024. Seriously, where does the time go? Hard to believe we are entering the last quarter of the year.
The overall theme for 2024 is BE Potential. And the specific theme for October is: Ascension / Accessibility / Adventure.
As I began to meditate and explore what I would share in this podcast random words began to drop into my psyche.
Words like: Become and Discombobulated. And because I like to know the dictionary description of a word(s) I had to look up Discombobulate. Here’s what I found. It's American slang. It means, confused, upset, disconnected, disorder.
And I realized that has been my experience for most of 2024. I have felt out of sorts and disconnected. And at times it has been very uncomfortable. It reminds me of what we go through physically when we experience a “growth spurt.”
And this can also be applied to our emotional and spiritual growth.
Sometimes chaos and rapid feelings of change ensue that make us feel off balance – similar to a growth spurt.
I believe the entire planet is going through a growth spurt. A consciousness growth spurt. Similar to what we go through as children when we are moving from our childhood age to our adolescent age. It includes getting confused, being disconnected and feeling exhausted. These are all ascension symptoms.
This is a good thing. I chose to see it as good growth despite the appearance of “negative” symptoms. These feelings are an indication that we need to step back, observe and see what is showing up for us individually and for the whole planet.
I have made a conscious choice to be Gob-smacked. Another word that dropped in. It means: Astounded, astonished. And I believe it comes from a high frequency of love. We can shift our perspective and see everything through the eyes of love by being gob-smacked.
I am committed to BEING. And to become what I am meant to be.
I invite you to listen to your inner guidance. Become gob-smacked in your daily living. What is it that is wanting to be expressed now?
Perhaps you too are experiencing a growth spurt.

Radical Empowerment

Ep #292 - Radical Empowerment - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell
This latest episode of Empowering Chats is a recording of a show I recently pulled from my archives. It first ran in 2018, the year I launched my podcast, Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell.
I feel, actually no, I know that the words I shared back then still have relevance today. Perhaps more so, that is why I chose to re-run this show now.
In this chat I talk about unlocking the power we carry within. And about having the courage to look at those pieces of ourselves that we don't like. Places many of us don’t want to look at. I know I don't like looking at them. It can be dark, murky and a little scary.
And yet in life it is important to investigate those dark spots. And embrace all that we are. I call this Radical Empowerment.
It’s really about embracing all the parts of ourselves. The good. The not so good. The parts you like and don’t like. It’s about integrating all of the parts that make up who we are.
And about recognizing that we are all divine sparks of light. And when we don’t feel good about ourselves that light dims. And sometimes the outer pressure is where we look to get validation. To get grounded or empowered. But that is not where true empowerment comes from.
I believe true empowerment comes from the heart space. Not from our mind. By stepping into this journey from a heart-centered space, I find it easier to make a connection with myself and with others in my life.
Anytime is the right time to dive deep and investigate our inner landscape. And as the season of summer fades and the fall/winter season approaches I feel now is especially perfect timing for us to go within and excavate what no longer serves us and embrace all that we are.

Ep# 291 - Rays of Hope - An Interview with author, Hope Ives Mauran
Hope Ives Mauran joins me for the latest episode of Empowering Chats. Hope is the author of “Love’s New Earth: Awakening to our Collective True Nature as Love." As I began this interview, I could feel all of my inner circuits on fire. I was tingling all over.
Her book is all about bringing Love to the New Earth.
I began by asking Hope to explain what the New Earth means to her? She explained it like this: It is a higher frequency Earth. An Earth where humanity is standing in an awareness of knowing who they are beyond the body. As consciousness itself. And Community, Compassion, Kindness are some of our primary values.
The book begins with the awareness that we exist in a field of love. It is there for us always. And it is there to support us and remind us that Love is always the way.
Hope also includes a section in the book about "The Rays of Hope," which are here to help anchor the new Earth.
This particular section has a listing of teachers, tools, organizations, companies and ideas that are inspiring. These ideas of "Love’s New Earth" keep us grounded in reality. It is there so readers can come on board and be a part of this creative path of creating a new earth. This list is there to give readers a place to start.
This is the grand experiment. Exploring new ways of living, of uplifting humanity. Our challenge is to not resist change but instead to stay curious and find ways of creating a new paradigm.
Hope shared this direct quote from the book, “We are creating a new earth paradigm for the highest and best good of all concerned.”
Lead with Love.
