Angels and Awakening

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis.

Friends, Thomas Moore is back — and I have to tell you, I have been reading his books since I was 14 years old. Literally took them to the pool every summer. They are beat up and sun-faded and I treasure every single one.

Thomas has written over 30 books on soul, beauty, and the art of living — and his newest, The Cure at Walden Pond, is a love letter to Henry David Thoreau and what his life at the pond still has to teach us today. This conversation was everything.


In This Episode

[00:14] Why Thomas fell in love with Thoreau — and how he discovered he wasn't just a naturalist
[06:09] How Thoreau felt lost, built a tiny house by the pond, and found his cure
[08:26] Julie opens up about her own season of restlessness — achieving everything and still feeling misaligned
[10:42] "Every life needs a broad margin around it" — what Thoreau learned from doing nothing in the mornings
[13:06] What Thomas's own days look like — a creative household of a writer, a painter, and a musician
[17:32] AI, humanity, and what the Native Americans would have done before going to the moon
[29:00] Why Thoreau wasn't a minimalist — the real meaning of simplicity as crystallization of the self
[36:19] Following the wind: Thomas entering a monastery at 13, leaving at 26, and always staying available for what's next
[38:00] Thomas's personal angel experience — a cement truck, a traffic circle, and what he believes saved him
[41:04] Why the Irish confuse birds with angels — and the old monastic story that explains it
[48:31] "Inorganic and lumpish" — reading Thoreau's words live and what they mean for us today
[52:00] Beauty as soul nourishment — and the painter who said "whenever science makes a new invention, I will paint an angel"

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis. Friends, Mary Rose Gutierrez is your guest host on the show today — and this episode is one of those that will quietly rearrange something inside of you.

Mary Rose is a former psychiatric nurse of 15 years turned angel channeler, energy healer, and clinical hypnotherapist. She went through the Angel Reiki School, worked alongside me, and has since built a truly powerful body of work helping people find their way back to themselves. This episode is her framework — and it is so, so good.

If you've been doing all the work — the meditations, the affirmations, the subconscious reprogramming — and still can't move the needle, this one is for you.

In This Episode

[00:00] Mary Rose's journey from psychiatric nursing to angel channeling — and what changed everything

[04:35] Why doing "all the work" still doesn't shift things — and what's actually missing

[09:10] The one question that will open this whole episode: What does your soul already know that you pretend you don't?

[10:50] Step 1 — Find the loop: the repeating pattern hiding underneath every area of your life

[15:55] Step 2 — Separate what you know from what you were taught to believe

[20:28] Step 3 — The tolerance edit: what is your life actually saying about what you believe right now?

[24:00] Step 4 — Intuition vs. fear: how fear disguises itself as wisdom, discernment, and "not being ready"

[29:00] Step 5 — Build the muscle: the daily practice of returning home to yourself

[33:57] The gap between where you are and where you want to be has nothing to do with your worthiness

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis. Friends, I have had Geneen Roth's book Women, Food and God displayed on my shelf for over 10 years — not in the slots, displayed. So getting to sit down with her for this conversation was truly a dream.

Geneen has a brand new book out called Love Finally: Untangling the Knot Between Mothers, Daughters, and Food — and this episode cracked my heart wide open. If you've ever struggled with food, shame, your body, or the voice in your head that says you're not enough no matter what you do, this one is for you.

In This Episode

[05:00] Why we form core beliefs about ourselves before age 7 — the "purple lens" metaphor
[12:00] Geneen's story: her mother, her first diet at 11, and 17 years of losing and gaining
[22:00] The link between emotional pain and using food, shopping, or anything else to cope
[32:00] The 6-step process for tracking a trigger back to the original wound [45:00] Geneen's best friend ghosting her after breast cancer — and how she did the work
[55:00] "Oh, sweetheart" — the Buddhist mantra that changed everything
[01:02:00] Why healing is a work of subtraction, not addition — returning to who you always were
