1.0.3. Dig a Lil Bit Deeper
<p>ποΈ In this episode, hear Alia and Melissa take things beneath the surface β exploring the magic of angel signs, synchronicities, and the subtle ways the Universe speaks to us. β¨</p><p>But first, we start with our Not So Zen moments from the week β the messy, human stuff that tested our peace β and how we transformed & transmuted them back into presence and grace.</p><p>This episode also holds a special vibration of love and remembrance as we honor Melissaβs father, who passed one year ago and whose birthday is 10/3. He continues to send signs from beyond β most often through pennies from heaven β reminding us that connection never fades, it just shifts form. ποΈ</p><p>Join us as we dig a lil bit deeper into faith, signs, and soul whispers β proof that the divine is always closer than we think. #NotSoZen #AngelSigns #Synchronicities #PenniesFromHeaven #PodcastHealing #SpiritualAwakening</p>
