My Junior said absolutely not: Spirit asked me to go off book, live, in front of everyone. Here’s what happened next:

by | Jul 23, 2026 | Uncategorized

It was one of those moments where you think you know what you are doing — only to have everything change when you are in the middle of it. It was during my first gathering of the Temple Steps. I had a general outline of what I was going to do. I thought we would follow a similar format to our previous online gatherings, but something shifted.

After Pig Spirit joined us and shared about the Illusion of Control — the Illusion of Relationship™ that separates us from Love by urging us to “stay in charge” — something in me knew exactly what was coming.

So yes, while I know this intellectually, and while I teach the Illusions of Relationship™, my Junior (the word I call the ego) did not like it when Spirit asked me to go “off book” and facilitate a channeled, spontaneous energy healing for our group — for all of those who attended live, as well as those who will tune in later.

I did not like that one bit. 😆

When I pull tarot cards, I respond in the moment — I catch the message and channel that way. It is safer. I have something to look at, feel, and riff off of. But to just close my eyes and trust — publicly, live, and on the spot — that was the medicine of breaking free of the Illusion of Control.

The collective grid healing we received was guided by Pig Spirit and Starfish Spirit, who asked us to open our hearts. If you watch the replay, that healing is still there for you to receive.

What would that look like for you? What would it feel like to drop the mask in your work persona, your relationship dynamic, or in how you relate to your purpose?

All of us who received the healing were offered medicine and a key — something totally unique to each of us as soul beings.

What is yours?

Find out when you watch the replay, and maybe let me know in the comments on YouTube, post your awareness in our Clarity Temple community, or try commenting here.

Tune in and watch the replay of our first Temple Steps gathering here.

We will meet again on the Temple Steps on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 — the day of the Solar Eclipse in Leo. There is a chance we may have two meetings in August, since it is eclipse season.

We will see!

With Love and Wisdom,
Lauren

The Ellipsis (The message Spirit kept repeating…and the unexpected place it led me.)

by | Jul 21, 2026 | Uncategorized

When you want something with all your heart…the Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Notice the ellipsis in the quote above? Yeah, me too.

It’s the missing piece, but we will get there in due time. I am taking you on a gentle tour of my mind and letting you in on my musings.

OK, obviously this quote has always resonated with me. The first time I read The Alchemist, I was about a year into my first spiritual awakening and I could not believe how absolutely touched I was by the truth pouring through the pages. It seemed I read the book with my hand on my heart the whole time—it was almost like a pledge of allegiance to myself—to always be true to myself, as that was the biggest treasure.

Being true to myself has been a path of devotion of sorts—not from a place of Me, Me, MEEEEEE but from the intention of staying connected to Source and listening. Listening for the patterns and the opportunities for discernment have become a significant part of my day-to-day.

In my listening, there was a message that continued to persist. It was not something that was new to me. I had heard it before and quite often—only this time it hit a little differently.

So on the surface the message kind of pointed to the idea that maybe the thing we think we want and never seem to get—or we get disappointing versions of it—maybe—just maybe: we do not actually want the thing itself.

If you are reading this and notice some tension in this statement, stay with me. This is not the full story. We are taking the scenic route to the deeper part of the message—one that comes to us through my relationship with the Spirit of Guilt.

So remember the quote at the beginning of our journey here? Here’s the whole quote:

When you want something with all your heart, that’s when you are closest to the Soul of the World. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

The Soul of the World was the missing piece.

As I tuned into what it would mean to be closer to the soul of the world, I found myself asking a different question: What actually nourishes me? The question led me somewhere I was not expecting.

Recently, I found myself in conversation with the Spirit of Guilt—a recurring character in my relationship with the Soul of the World. Here is how it happened:

Every time I would go to my computer to work on my book, I would immediately start to feel tired. I would do my best to fight my way through that; once the coffee was brewing I would start to obsess about all of the other “important things” I was not doing…. Yeah, apparently the Spirit of Guilt and I had become quite the duo—experts at hashing out all of my failings together.

Well, one of these “failings” was that I had been inconsistent with the physical aspects of my Kung Fu practice. Thinking about that would of course allow Junior (that’s the word I use for the ego) and the Spirit of Guilt to succeed in taking away my desire to write or to go to class.

Instead, my mental and emotional energy just focused on my failings and it took a lot of work to give myself grace, lol, about why it was ok that I was not doing those things—such as I had been traveling several times since I got my black belt, my dog had passed away, etc. Why am I even listing them? I think just to give you a real example of how we can get in our own way.

Anyway, it was pretty draining.

But just recently I saw that while I wanted to complete the book with all my heart, my Junior—with the Spirit of Guilt’s help—was more focused on wanting to give my Kung Fu practice the same level of precision, time, and care that I gave it in the year and a half leading up to my black belt. I realized I wasn’t just feeling guilty. I was trying to recreate an old version of myself—one whose life had room to devote hours every week to earning a black belt.

That’s what I call the Illusion of Absorption.

As I stayed in stillness and listened, I marveled at how the Illusion of Absorption loves to default into old settings—settings that served us well for some time. Are we all just robots with programs? (That might be a letter for another day.)

Maybe the Universe was conspiring to show me how I limited my creativity and what I needed to do to adjust my expectations and redirect my energy.

Now, instead of doing mental gymnastics about Kung Fu, I’m guided to direct that same devotion toward finishing my book, writing, and serving my clients and the Love Renegades community. 

One of the first things to emerge from that shift is The Temple Steps—an online gathering where we’ll pause, listen, and practice seeing differently.

In a Temple Steps Gathering, we will explore:

-An Illusion of Relationship™ that is asking to be seen
 -the energies at play
 -collective reading and healing
 -messages from the animal kingdom
 -card pull for select live participants

Our first Temple Steps Gathering is happening on Wednesday, July 22 at 4 PM CST/ 2 PM PST/ 5 PM EST on one of your preferred platforms below:

Coming Home to Yourself: Musings from a New Moon in Cancer

by | Jul 16, 2026 | illusion of relationships, Temple Steps

Dear ones,

We are in a New Moon portal. This New Moon is in the zodiac of Cancer, so if you are feeling a sense of stillness or restlessness today, the invitation is to take a few moments to go within. It is in that inner space that we often experience an emotional reset.

Our emotions are so important. In today’s fast-paced world, we are usually asked to deal with them later. Sometimes we deny our feelings or try to think our way through them. Other times, we act on them before we’ve had the chance to truly understand what they’re asking of us.

This New Moon simply asks that you give yourself permission to have some time alone. You don’t have to take the whole day off, but perhaps you can step away from your to-do list, your comings and goings—and especially any fear loops or worries you’ve been carrying.

What the Journey Taught Me

In my own reflections, I have been integrating my around-the-world journey—from Austin to Los Angeles, to China, to Ireland, to New York, and finally back home. It was the kind of trip I never imagined myself taking, and it changed me in ways I’m still discovering.

During those weeks, I was away from my familiar routines and my sweet fur babies. I missed them deeply. Yet travel has a way of expanding us. There’s something about being unmoored from your daily rhythms that lets you see yourself more clearly—the parts of you that only show up when nothing is scripted, when you don’t know quite what’s coming next.

As someone with a Cancer Moon, the words home and family have taken on an entirely new meaning for me since returning. I used to think of home as a place I go back to. Now I think of it more as something I carry—a feeling I can find inside myself no matter where I am. That distinction has mattered more to me these past weeks than almost anything else.

Crossing a New Threshold

Recently, I have crossed a new threshold in my life. I find myself balancing the completion of my book on animal communication and psychic healing, my work with clients, my personal practices, and creating more intentional time with the people and animals I love.

I can feel something changing—not just in my life, but in the way I relate to it. The old hidden beliefs I carried about what my path was supposed to look like are loosening their grip. I don’t have a tidy explanation for what’s shifting. I just know that I’m being asked to meet my life differently than I have before.

This is, I think, part of what every threshold asks of us. Not a clean before-and-after, but a slow reorientation.

What I’ve Learned From Sitting With Clients

When I sit with a client—whether it’s an animal wishing to communicate with their person or a human standing at a crossroads—I hope to offer more than insight. I hope to help them remember what it feels like to come home to themselves.

Again and again, I’ve witnessed how our greatest challenges aren’t always signs that we’re lost. Sometimes they’re invitations to relate to our lives differently. What appears to be an obstacle is often the very path through it. I’ve seen this play out in a career change someone was terrified to make, in a relationship someone couldn’t understand why they kept returning to, in an animal companion whose sudden behavior shift was actually a message no one had yet been able to hear.

This understanding—that the obstacle and the path are often the same thing—has become one of the deepest foundations of my work. It’s something I’ll be sharing more deeply on the Temple Steps.

An Invitation: The Temple Steps

While I don’t have all of the answers—and I’m learning to accept that perhaps none of us ever will—I do trust the next step Spirit has placed in front of me. I hope you’ll take it with me.

I am going to be hosting our first Temple Steps gathering, a free online gathering where we pause, listen, and practice seeing differently together. We’ll tune in to an Illusion of Relationship™ asking to be seen, the current energetic climate, a Collective Reading, messages from the Animal Kingdom, and live card pulls for a few participants.
This idea began to emerge before my travels, with the quiet knowing that I would recognize when it was time to share it. Well… the time is here.

Wednesday, July 22 4:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET

Join me on whichever platform feels like home:

As a thank-you for officially registering, you’ll also receive my guided audio practice, The Boundary of Becoming, to help you step into greater energetic sovereignty.

I’d love to gather with you. Your presence matters, and your energy always changes the space.

A Threshold Reading for This Sagittarius Blue Moon 🌕

by | May 31, 2026 | Uncategorized

This Sagittarius Full Moon / Blue Moon portal called for something special.

This one feels big. Like a genuine threshold.

Sagittarius carries codes of expansion, truth, divine adventure — and this blue moon is amplifying all of it. It’s asking us to get honest about where we’ve been playing small, where we’ve been investing in our nightmares instead of our dreams, and where we’re finally ready to stretch into the next version of ourselves.

As I shared in the reading, my husband and I are in the middle of our own grand adventure — traveling through Los Angeles, China, Tibet, Ireland, and New York. And honestly? I set this intention during the December Solstice. I said I wanted at least two international trips this year… and wow. Here we are. The energetic terrain is matching the inner work.

That’s what Sagittarius does. It brings the proof.

In this threshold reading, I pulled cards across three questions:

🌕 What have we learned?

🌕 What are we integrating right now?

🌕 What is becoming possible?

The messages that came through touched on dreams and manifestation, transparency and authenticity, passion and emotional truth, creativity and abundance — and how to move through the friendly plot twists of disappointment and change without losing the thread.

One question that really landed as I was reading:

Are we investing in our nightmares or our dreams?

That one is alive right now. Your junior might have some feelings about it. Let it.

Watch the full reading below — it’s 11 minutes. Grab your tea.

*Images are from the Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish and The Psychic Tarot by John Holland.

If this transmission is calling to you and you want more of this every week — weekly readings, daily Psychic Minutes, monthly forecasts, and a community in the Clarity Temple that genuinely gets it — I would love to welcome you into the Clarity Portal.

And if you’re feeling ready for something more personal, I recently simplified my private offerings into one core experience: the Intuitive Soul Recalibration Session, a deeply personalized session where I bring through the tools, healing modalities, and psychic insight most aligned for you in real time. Sometimes your animals show up too. They often have things to say. I still offer stand alone Pet Psychic Healing™ Sessions too. 🐾

Clarity Portal members, your discount applies.

I’ll be back taking sessions in July — I would love to see you on my calendar.

Thank you for being here, dear ones. It is such an honor.

With Love & Wisdom,

The Illusion of Drama — What’s Really Happening When Everything Falls Apart

by | Apr 9, 2026 | illusion of drama

black belt, strong woman
There used to be a time in my life where I feared change.

Change was the unknown. Change was uncertainty. Change was scary.

What I understand now is that this fear — and the disruption that comes with it — is something I’ve come to call the Illusion of Drama™. It’s part of a larger framework I created called the Illusions of Relationship. And it is one of the most common reasons people stop right at the threshold of the life they actually want.

Here’s what it looks like.

You decide to move toward something new. A different direction in your work. A relationship where you show up differently. A version of yourself you’ve been quietly carrying for a long time. And almost immediately, things start to feel harder. Relationships feel strained. Your inner critic gets louder. Something in your body flares. Life feels heavier than it did before you decided anything.

And the conclusion most people reach is: this must mean I’m going the wrong way.

It doesn’t.

The disruption is the initiation.

What the Illusion of Drama actually is

The Illusion of Drama is the experience of chaos — internal and external — that arrives when we start moving toward something genuinely new. It feels like evidence that we’re wrong, not ready, too much, asking for too much. It is none of those things.

It can be loud. A health crisis. A rupture in a relationship. A professional upheaval right when you were finally ready to leap. But it can also be quiet. Suddenly feeling very tired. Suddenly having a reason why now isn’t the right time. A creeping feeling that wanting more is selfish, or naive, or just not realistic for someone like you.

It can also look like doing something that looks like change — but is actually the same pattern in different clothes. Working harder to feel okay. Moving fast so you never have to be still long enough to feel what’s underneath. Steering clear of anything that brings up fear or insecurity and calling it self-protection.

All of it is the Illusion of Drama. All of it is the threshold asking: are you willing to actually go through?

What happens when you recognize it

I have moved through a number of initiations in my own life. The Amazon rainforest. Earning my black belt while strangers on the internet tried to take it from me. Losing Sky, my husky and one of my greatest teachers. A year where everything broke at once and underneath all of it, something enormous was reorganizing itself.

Each time, I had a choice. Not about whether the disruption was happening — I didn’t get to choose that. But about what I did with it. Whether I turned back, or planted my feet.

The Illusion of Drama loses its grip the moment you can name it. Not just intellectually — that’s only the start. But when you can feel it arriving and say, I see you, I know what you are, and I’m not turning back — something shifts. The disruption is still there. But you are no longer inside the illusion that it means what the fear says it means.

That is the practice. And it is not a one-time thing. It is something you build, in real time, across real life, with the right support around you.

What becomes possible on the other side

The life you can feel but haven’t stepped into yet doesn’t require you to have it figured out first. It requires you to be willing to move through what has been stopping you — without making yourself wrong for the fact that it has been stopping you.

That is a different kind of work than most people are offered. And it is what Reclaim Your Lunar Flame is built on.

About Reclaim Your Lunar Flame

Reclaim Your Lunar Flame is my nine-month initiation container. Six people only. Application only. We move through nine lunar cycles together — with the Moon as our rhythm and mirror — and I bring everything I have: your birth chart, your Human Design, your Akashic Records, and my direct psychic connection to your guides, so that what you receive is precise and yours.

This is not a course. It is not content. It is a living container where you practice — over and over, through real life as it’s actually happening — choosing yourself instead of disappearing.

At the time of writing, two spots remain. We begin April 21st.

If this landed somewhere real as you read it — that recognition is worth following.
