176 | Energy & Awakening: Shadow Work, Spiritual Hygiene, and Transforming Your Home’s Energy with Nicolle Merrilyne

In this powerful and multi-dimensional conversation, Emily sits down with intuitive healer, medium, and spiritual mentor, Nicolle Merrilyne, to explore the deeper layers of spiritual awakening, energy work, and feminine reclamation. Nicolle shares the origins of her intuitive gifts, the mediumship opening that transformed her life, and the profound initiations that led her into the work of shadow integration, embodiment, and spiritual depth. Together, they discuss the collective shift from surface-level “love and light” spirituality into a more grounded, embodied era of shadow work, emotional healing, and wild woman awakening.

Emily and Nicolle dig into the difference between mindset-level self-development and the deeper inner work required to truly evolve—grief, rage, ancestral patterns, past-life wounds, and the unconscious narratives that shape our choices. Nicolle explains the astrological landscape of this moment, including Pluto’s move from Capricorn into Aquarius, and how this transition mirrors the dismantling of outdated structures, the rise of feminine wisdom, and the increasing desire for authenticity, soul alignment, and personal sovereignty.

The episode takes a fascinating turn into the world of energetic home cleansing, spiritual hygiene, and energetic protection practices. Nicolle breaks down the foundations of maintaining a clear energetic environment—how to cleanse your home, how energy accumulates in physical spaces, how to ground and protect yourself, and why certain rooms hold more emotional imprint than others. Emily and Nicolle unpack the powerful house-clearing session they did together, including the intuitive messages that came through, the repeated water incidents in Emily’s home, and the connection between home energetics, emotional patterns, and the completion of old cycles.

This episode is an invitation to explore the unseen layers of your life; your energy, your home, your lineage, your body, and the truths rising within you. If you’re craving deeper self-awareness, a more grounded spiritual practice, or a clearer understanding of your own awakening, this conversation offers guidance, validation, and a willingness to go where transformation actually happens.
