The Gala Darling Show: Episode 12 with Natalia Benson

Natalia Benson is one of my all-time favorite people that I’ve met since moving to Los Angeles. She’s a modern mystic and an empowerment coach, and she walks her talk! She is totally powerful, energetic, optimistic, open-minded and passionate. You can only imagine the GOOD GODDAMN TIME we have when we hang out!

Well, I guess now you don’t have to imagine it, ’cause here’s an hour and a half of us doing what we do best: talking very excitedly about all things mystical and practical.

You can find Natalia at her website and on Instagram. And I think you’ll love her just as much as I do.

High Vibe Honey: Week Of 25th March 2019 + TAPPING That It Is Safe To Let Go!

Hooray! Baby, it’s a new astrological year, and we have new audio equipment to celebrate! What did we ever do to get so damn lucky?! I hope that you can hear the difference and that it gives you a THRILL! Yay!

In this week’s High Vibe Honey, the cards tell us that glorious things are coming but that in order to receive them, it’s necessary to let go of some old stuff that is no longer serving us. Eeeesh. So it only makes sense that our tapping is around trusting the universe and realizing that it is safe to let go.

Big love,

High Vibe Honey: Week Of 18th March 2019 + TAPPING That I Am Unstoppable!

Happy Monday you gorgeous creature! This week’s High Vibe Honey isn’t just about cards. We talk about whether feeling good is a privilege of the lucky few, and what to do if you feel like your life might never improve. Plus I mention the recent events in New Zealand (my homeland) and talk about what I’m doing to help.

The tapping is all about being UNSTOPPABLE. I can’t wait for you to do it!

 

Big love,

The Gala Darling Show: Episode 11 with Jessica Snow

Jessica Snow is a truly magical creature. I discovered her through our mutual friend, Mystic Medusa, and was instantly drawn in to her world. Jessica is a meditation guide and author, and she is the person I recommend to everyone who wants to start a meditation practice. Her meditations are alchemical and transformative like nothing else I’ve ever listened to.

But — as you may have noticed from the episodes thus far — I love people who are multi-faceted. Rebels and misfits. People who can surprise you. People who bring their own delicious energy and are happy to go somewhere new with you. Jessica is absolutely one of those people. Our conversation was so joyful, and I know you will love the twists and turns it takes you through!

You can find Jessica — and all her treasures — at youaremagicLA.com.

 

In this episode, we talked about…

Meditation as a magical practice

How Jessica works as the meditation welcoming committee

Inside each of us is a universe

How to get around using meditation as a way to beat yourself up

How Tori Amos can help you start an easy meditation practice!

The power that we have today as women

How the patriarchy keeps men down just as much as women

How uncool bullying has become

Living through a transitionary time

Being discriminating about what we consume

Being a punk rock anarchist at heart

Using Instagram as a spell

Choosing where to put your energy

Whether aliens are already here?!

How we can work with our shadow for growth

SoulCollage and creating your own oracle deck

The power of knowing that it is all OKAY

Using archetypes as guides in our lives

Letting go of proving our worthiness

The fear of success and how it holds us back

Moving away from friendships that are no longer in vibrational alignment

Insanely effective housewitchery

Experiencing expansion and how that can feel confusing and bumpy

Learning how to celebrate our successes

How watching others can inform our own lives

A GIVEAWAY!

High Vibe Honey: Week Of 25th February 2019 + TAPPING That It’s Okay To Rest!

Meow! Happy Sunday! Welcome to Pisces season and all that comes with it: lots of daydreaming, an intense desire to get into the bathtub, deep sleep, and escapist fantasies. If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, it is time to RELAX. Because… That’s how we are finally able to receive.

In this week’s episode, we talk about the energy of the season, plus I pull cards to let you know what’s around the corner. We finish up by tapping on the fact that it’s okay to rest, because sometimes you feel like you need a permission slip!

 

Enjoy your rest. Truly.

Love always,

Hello, gorgeous! I hope you had an incredible week and are ready for another banger. I spent the day at Frieze LA eyeing up lots of glorious art, and it was the perfect way to relax and get inspired. If the cards I just pulled are any indication of what’s yet to come, it’s about to be HIGH ENERGY around here! (I can’t wait!)

This week, I used the Frida Kahlo Tarot. It came all the way from Italy, and it’s delicious!

 

I can’t wait to hear about what you’re going to make, create, and do!

Love always,
