In this episode me and psychotherapist Rayna Epstein explore: What do I do when it feels like the Universe is testing me? As long-time members of To Be Magnetic (TBM), Rayna and I discuss how the TBM concept of tests has impacted our lives, how we personally have navigated tests, the notion of spiritual tests more broadly and what to do when we can't access Inner Knowing.

If you're not familiar with TBM, don't worry. If you've ever felt like the Universe or God has offered you a choice and you're not sure what to do, this episode is for you! In the episode we discuss:

  • Examples of "passing tests" in dating and job opportunities
  • How to respond to tests/tough decisions in a way that transforms us into the person we want to become
  • How to cross-check your manifestation list with your values
  • What to do when you still have no idea what to do

About today's guest: Rayna is a holistic psychotherapist and highly sensitive soul navigating the confusion and complexities of life on earth. She believes that humans are never healed with an “ed” at the end, but rather that life is a cyclical, ceremonial journey where we are continually asked to sit in the alchemical fire of transformation and to relax into deeper states of our authentic expression. Rayna believes that all painful symptoms of the psyche are wise messengers from the soul, signals that alert us to the parts of ourselves that require more attention and medicine.
