Podcasts
There are so many podcasts out there today, it can be difficult to sift through what's truly worth listening to. Here are some of my favorites that helped change my perspective on my personal development + my spiritual journey.
Lacy and her thoughts on manifestation were some of the first I encountered where I felt the approach was rooted in neuroscience. I love the emphasis on unblocking, finding expanders, etc. It's a very practical and easy-to-follow approach.
EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™
Maybe I'm biased because she is a dear friend, but Anna Grace is one of the most intuitive, gentle-hearted, purpose-led women I know. Her “school for the cosmos” takes guidance from the Akashic Records to help you live your best life.
AG University - Apple Podcasts
This podcast was a True North for me as I transitioned from my 20s to my 30s! Lindsey and Krista cover every topic under the sun and their open-minded approach and interviews with intelligent individuals will help you establish such a sense of direct...

Shaman Durek is very eccentric, but I think his approach is really one-of-a-kind.
Ancient Wisdom Today
This podcast feels like an extension of Glennon Doyle's book “We Can Do Hard Things”. I love the perspective these three women bring to the table. It's tender, heartfelt, and so so good!
We Can Do Hard Things
As the name suggests, this podcast helps you uncover and listen to your intuitive, internal voice.
Your Own Magic - Apple Podcasts
If you really want to dive into more new-age practices (think: tarot, crystals, etc), I think Deb and Samantha have a really grounded approach. I like their dynamic, and my favorite episodes are the readers' questions and answers!
Psychic Teachers
Books
Whether you read them in physical format or download them on Audible (which I did A LOT and listened to in 2x speed), these books completely changed my life, and I hope they can change yours as well.
This is the book that started it all for me. When I was in a really pivotal and tulmultous time in my life, someone gifted a secondhand copy of this to me and it unlocked a path toward trying to get in touch with my own Inner voice and artist. I stil...

This should be essential reading. The author takes motifs, stories, and archetypes throughout time to thread together a beautiful tapestry of the powerful force that lies within each and every woman.
Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths & Stories
This book redfined the way I think about manifestation and the power of the human mind. It is essential reading, in my opinon!
Becoming Supernatural: Common People Uncommon
Another book that completely changed my view of the world! This selection is very simple, but so profound. As the name suggests, it is conversation-style, so it is very easy to digest. Perfect for all those just beginning their spiritual journeys.
Conversations with God. An uncommon Dialog
I really love Brianna Wiest's perspective and style of writing. These essays are super digestable, but will truly offer an entirely different perspective on life. Wonderful for anyone starting their personal development journey.

The Courage to Be Disliked: Change Your Life
Something about reading a book on body image, femininity, sexuality, and the like by one of the most objectively attractive women in the world really struck a cord with me. It made me realize that these struggles we experience in a narrow-minded soci...
My Body by Emily Ratajkowski
This was one of the first books I read in my personal development journey. I just adore Glennon's perspective and committment to her own healing and growth. Her podcast is also wonderful!
Untamed
Honestly, I'm really sad Natalie doesn't do her podcast anymore, because her book and perspective were some of the most pivotal for me in my spiritual awakening. Let this book me a reminder that you are powerful and you know what's best for your life...

This book definitely falls more into the traditional new-age approach, but with the repetitive affirmations, it really does get you thinking about money in a whole new way, especially on a subconscious level.

I personally love Chani's inclusive look into Astrology!
You Were Born For This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance

I love any way of viewing the world that better helps me understand myself! Here are some of my favorite resources for doing this. I truly believe it's all different lexicon for the same symbols and stories, so choose one or a collection of a few tha...
Let me preface this by saying, the Gene Keys is not for the faint of heart. An expansion from Human Design, this is a practice that looks at a personalized map of your genetic code at the time you were born. Within it, you can follow three sequences—...
Gene Keys: Unlocking the Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA
Human Design is a self-discovery system that blends ideas from other schools of thought—astrology, the Chinese I Ching, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, etc.—to create a personalized “map” of how you operate in the world. I love Jenna Zoe's digestible appr...
Human Design
Astrology is not a new tool for self-discovery, but if you're looking to dive deeper, I personally love Chani's apps and resources. The Chani app offers a comprehensive look into what's happening in the stars + how it personally impacts you, as well ...

If you want another way to dive deeper into Astrology, I personally love the Pattern. It's great for diving deeper and seeing both the long and the short-term transits happening for you. You can also run “bonds” and view your compatibility with other...

Another way of knowing yourself more deeply that I enjoy is the Ennegram. There are tons of free tests online, but your results come back as a number 1-9 and the results are shockingly accurate! If you connect more with personality tests than mystic ...
The Enneagram Personality Test - Truity
Tools + Cards

Within: A Self-Reflection Journal - Tiana Gidley Creative
I love everything Kim Krans does, but if I had to pick my favorite of her decks, Archetypes is up there for me. The symbolism is so rich, and you're discussing archetypal anecdotes, so it doesn't feel *so* far-fetched for someone just starting their ...
The Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck and Guidebook
If you're looking for something from Krans that is a bit more advanced, I also really adore her Alchemy deck. Not only is it stunning visually, but it's just very transcendant and cool in general. All of her decks play really beautifully together.
The Wild Unknown Alchemy Deck and Guidebook
If animal symbolism is more your thing, I think Kim Krans' Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck is a great entryway into oracle cards and working with symbols.
The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
If you're looking for a planner to help boost productivity, I really love the High Performance Planner. It breaks your goals down into categories and helps you get hyper-focused on where it is you're headed and how you're performing in different area...
High Performance Planner
If you want to get your hands on Oracle cards that are truly uplifting, I always recommend “Work Your Light”. Not only are the graphics gorgeous, the entire sentiment of the deck is uplifting.
