The Modern Sage Podcast

Leah explores the power of doing nothing, and why slowing down can sometimes be one of the most productive things we can do.

We live in a culture that celebrates being busy, staying productive, and constantly moving on to the next thing. But when we never give ourselves permission to stop, we also lose the space to listen to ourselves, process what we're feeling, and simply be present.

In this episode, Leah talks about what happens w...

Leah talks with Kim Bantle, a former media executive who is now an author and speaker in the spiritual community with her new book Confessions of a Closeted Clairvoyant.

Many people have shame about their spiritual beliefs, or hide their true beliefs due to social or cultural pressures. 

In this age of consciousness, we are in a time now to learn to support our youth and adults in how to come out of the "spiritual closet" and cl...

Grief is the proof of love. If you have loved, you know grief.

Yet grief overwhelms so many people - years of repressed grief, unprocessed in this 3d world that causes immeasurable suffering.

What if grief was an energy that we can tolerate because we know that separation is only temporary, and that love never dies. Energy never dies. 

And we can build a new relationship with the energy in its new form... 

And know that separ...

Whatever the addiction, it has a similar root - pain. 

And, the way through addiction, to the other side of recovery, is similar for all addictions. 

Leah talks about emotional addiction, physical addiction, and substance addiction and more. The behavior that's driving addiction is coming from a place of trauma, pain, and repressed emotion.

Addiction is a symptom, a protective mechanism, against the pain that creates addicti...

The pursuit of happiness has been linked to everything from finding daily balance, self-growth and even the meaning of life. But is being happy the goal? Does happiness provide what you are really looking for?

One thing that's wrong with the philosophy of pursuing happiness is that it traps one in the cycle of the pursuit. Happiness tends to be more superficial, fleeting, and circumstantial depending on experience or reward. 

Pu...

Leah speaks with veteran hospice nurse, JoAnne Chitwood, about how we can assist those we love to die with ease and grace, and how to prepare for death ourselves. 

This important conversation includes what to expect in the life review, the needs of a person dying, the needs for communication and transparency, and the effects we can have on one another until the end of life. 

Leah and JoAnne speak about energy, angels, grief...

You've heard it a million times, yet likely still struggle with the ONE thing you can do to have more peace in your life.

BOUNDARIES

Lots of people talk about boundaries, and some even create boundaries, yet most never implement their boundaries in healthy ways.

What are they?

How are boundaries helpful in relationships?

How do we employ them?

What do we need in place to stay true to our boundaries?

What boundaries ARE NOT.

How not to cont...

Leah speaks with hypnotherapist and life coach Peter McLaughlin, of BlueSky Hypnosis, on the power we have to influence our lives in a positive way by accessing the subconscious mind. 

Hypnotherapy is a simple as meditation, and we should each understand how hypnosis occurs multiple times throughout the day. 

This work is helpful for weight loss and addiction, and it is also a powerful tool for every day living to live a mo...

Do you live in hope, potential or what-ifs? Are you holding onto a relationship that is not what you desire, but believing it will become something better? 

Listen in as Leah talks about acceptance and the impact that practice will have on your life. 

How we experience the world is relative to how we perceive ourselves. 

We know we cannot change someone else. We can only change ourselves, and often we do not due to our ...

Many people wonder if they are on the right path for their life.

Many people are unsure of their purpose.

Many people create conditions and limitations to thwart their way forward.

Magical thinking ensues.

Could this be you?

Many are looking for signs and confirmations that they are on their right path. The ego is afraid it does not have a purpose, a legacy to leave.

We fall into being a victim of life instead of aligning and accepting o...

Leah speaks openly about her previous encounter with Deepak Chopra and some other influencers in the spiritual and healing world in regards to the new information about their presence in the Epstein files.

Spiritual bypassing, imposter syndrome, ego issues, abuse - the conversation goes into the many problems in the wellness and spiritual healing space. 

Fed up with being told what to do and how to do it by people who have just ...

Do you take things personally?

It's a hard pattern to break as, of course, our lives are our personal responsibility, and when we engage with others and the world. 

When we take things personally that are not personal, we suffer.

Do you get offended easily?

Do your feelings get hurt easily?

Do you struggle with insecurities that you will not be chosen?

Taking things personally serves to perpetuate the fears that we are unworthy and ...

Inspired by a quote from Spirit Rock run by Jack Kornfield:

"May our hearts stay open in the storm.

May our voices speak for what is just.

May our hands extend in generousity.

May our presence be a refuge."

It's tough times out there. Really tough. I don't know one person who isn't overwhelmed. Heartbroken. Angry. Afraid.

This podcast is to remind each of us what we can do, even when we feel powerless. 

It's about how energy works. H...

This is a conversation between two friends  - one, Louie Ayala, a digital creator who uses AI regularly and the other, Leah Guy, a spiritualist who's opposed (and a little afraid) of AI. 

We discuss several angles and argue the interests and concerns about the growing increase and take-over of artificial intelligence in our current world.

The love-hate relationship is true for many of us, and this conversation contemplates ...

Its' a New Year and new energies are afloat. As we make our way into a new cycle, I want us to consider how to be more alive.

I know that may sound strange seeing as we are alive now, but many of us are moving through life with a torch of fear.

Fears show up in many ways - anxieties, worries, phobias...but all fear is connected to the ultimate fear - the fear of death.

Even if you are not afraid of dying, listen in on how fear control...

Who isn't overwhelmed these days? The world is overloading each of us with negative events, or telling us what to do differently in our lives, people preaching, complaining, arguing online... plus the demands and pressures of work, our families, our lives. It's too much.

I want to invite us to remember the power we have over our lives. That we can control much of our lives, even when it feels we cannot. 

We can be still. We can ...
