Hey I’m Emilee, a total skeptic who experienced a very sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening in my early 30s. To say it rocked my world is an understatement. I went from not even believing in an afterlife to doing intuitive and psychic readings for others in less than 9 months! And things have just kept getting wilder ever since then. That crazy, magical experience led me here – talking to spiritually curious people about how leaning deeper into all of the soft, gushy stuff like love, soul desires and soul purpose will lead them to the most fulfilling life beyond even their wildest dreams. Seriously! It’s my hope that you’ll hear something in this podcast that activates your soul and reminds you of who you truly are.

Episode 5 | Stop Waiting For Things To Get Better

Hello. Hello my friend, and welcome to another episode of the Suddenly Spiritual Podcast. I am Emilee, and I am so excited that you’re here. Today we are talking about something so important, and I know that it’s going to be really impactful for you. Before we dive in, I just wanna say hello. Welcome back if you have been listening for a few episodes now.

Thank you so much for tuning in again. If you’re brand new here, like I said, my name is Emilee. I am an intuitive, I’m a developing psychic medium, and here on the Suddenly Spiritual Podcast, I share all that I am learning through this spiritual connection with you and I really focus on making spirituality a little more normal and a little less weird.

So I really try and take these spiritual concepts and make them meaningful for your everyday life for the normal person, because I came into spirituality as someone who was very skeptical and very not into this kind of stuff, but as it turns out, Spirit just came into my life and threw me into this crazy spiritual awakening, and everything felt so foreign to me and so strange, and it was so much adjustment trying to navigate this new life path with all these crazy changes that happened so rapidly.

And so it was just very overwhelming and I hope that through this podcast, if you are also experiencing a spiritual awakening or you just find yourself a little bit spiritually curious, I hope through this podcast I can help to kind of demystify spirituality and Present it in a way that doesn’t seem so weird.

It doesn’t seem scary, it doesn’t seem crazy. And hopefully it speaks straight to your heart because I don’t think that spirit spirituality God divinity, communicating with the universe, with universal consciousness, with love, with God, with source, whatever you wanna call it. I don’t think that that communication between individuals and this all knowing, all loving source. I don’t think that that communication is reserved for like gurus and monks and highly enlightened beings. I think that that communication and that connection is innate in everyone, and it’s available to everyone, and I want you to be able to start feeling that connection and see what a positive impact it has on your life as you start leaning into this connection and living your life from a spirit connected place, from your soul, from realizing that you are divine. You are a part of God living here on earth. And once you realize that and start living from that magic, oh my goodness, your life is going to get so good. So fulfilling, so purposeful.

Oh, it’s incredible. So, That was kind of an intense introduction. But hello, welcome. I did wanna share a little bit about me and how I came into this spiritual connection to lead into our topic today. And what we are talking about is co-creation, and I’m gonna explain to you what exactly that means.

We’re gonna talk about co-creation, creating with the universe, taking inspired action in your life. Toward your goals, but doing it in a way that flows and feels easy and does not feel like pushing and forcing and struggle. We’re gonna talk about creating the life you want from a sense of ease.

And wow, doesn’t that sound so nice? So, My spiritual connection, it really started with a super heavy focus on personal development and this desire to better myself and better my life. And so I was reading all of these personal development books, taking personal development courses, listening to personal development podcasts, like how can I control my brain?

How can I be successful? It was very, Success driven and personal development driven, like, how can I improve my relationships? How can I just be a better person? What do I need to do to thrive in life? What do I need to do to be more successful? It was really an action based, success based focus that I That I was in.

And at some point that very practical, very success-based interest in personal development morphed into a spiritual awakening. And it might seem like the practical, just success focused interest. It might seem like that is so different from the flowy, floaty, spiritual God connection, but really they are so connected because as you get into personal development, even if you’re just trying to get into learning how to be more successful, you find out that it’s actually a lot of inner work and spirituality becoming more spiritual is really a lot of inner work. And so at some point, this focus on success and personal development, as I was doing the inner work with that, it morphed into this spiritual awakening. And at the beginning of my spiritual awakening, one of the very first spiritual experiences that I began to have was having visions.

So , as I was meditating, I started having these beautiful visions where I would see myself in different situations. I would see spirit guides see. Um, Gosh, just different beautiful scenarios that Spirit was bringing to me and showing me and giving me guidance through these visions. And I’m telling you this because today I’m going to share with you one of my early visions that I had, and this vision had an incredible impact on how I exist in the world.

It was so powerful and it just completely reframed how I viewed the role of spirit in my life and it led me to start reclaiming my personal power to create the life that I want . It really showed me that That my role here on Earth is not just to like let Spirit guide the way, and I’m just totally passive.

It, it showed me what co-creation was. It showed me and propelled me toward creating the momentum I wanted in my life, but in a way that flowed with my life in a way that did not feel like struggle and. Oh man, I really wanted that because I was on the struggle bus of life. I was trying to force everything that I wanted to happen.

Just force it, push it through, make it happen, be determined, and Existing that way did not make me very happy. It just made me feel like I was struggling all the time. I was always stressed out because I was pushing against my life, against the world around me instead of flowing with it. And this vision really kind of helped me to see how I could flow with life and still be successful, which, At the time was really groundbreaking for me because the things that I wanted in my life seemed so contradictory to what my life actually was and, and what my life actually is.

So, We’re gonna get into that vision and we’re gonna break it all down in just a couple minutes. I want you to know that my intention for sharing this with you is to remind you of your personal power. I hope that hearing this vision has the same effect on you that it had on me, and we’re gonna break down the vision We’re gonna go over some intuitive spiritual guidance that came through with this vision and how it applies to your life. I want you to start understanding that you are not a victim of life and you don’t have to wait for life to bring you what you want. I’m going to introduce you to the concept of co-creation and show you that you are a partner with the universe.

A partner and how incredible is that? We get to create the world we want, the life we want, we have the power to do that with the support of the universe. Like that perspective shift is just mind blowing to me and. I really hope that hearing this inspires you to take action towards your dreams, towards your goals, toward the person that you want to be and the life that you want to live.

And I hope it helps you create the momentum that will propel you. Forward so that you can keep moving forward, keep co-creating, and keep working with the universe to create this incredible life that you are meant for. If you have a dream of an incredible life, of somewhere that you want to be a job, that you want a life, you want to live a house, you want to have a lifestyle that you dream of, if you have that dream, then it is meant for you and you have the power to start working toward that in partnership with spirit, with the universe. it is all coming to you. And today we are going to break it down how it works and how to get there.

Okay so let me share with you this vision that just blew my mind when it happened. So. What happened was this vision came into me when I was, I was doing something, I, I don’t quite remember I think I was working on my computer or something, but it happened like in the blink of an eye and it came in so strong, just so potent and forceful. It, it just totally shocked me. And what happened was I suddenly, in my mind’s eye, I saw myself. But as a marionette doll, like one of those dolls with all the strings coming up and then someone is holding from above, you know, they hold that little like wooden cross thing and they move it around and it makes the hands and legs move around.

It’s a puppet, like a, a marionette doll. And I see this. And I am, I’m the marionette doll. I’ve got all the, the strings and everything. I’m Pinocchio basically. And I see myself as the marionette doll, except for I’m all slumped down on the ground. No one’s holding the strings. I’m just like slumped on the ground.

And that’s, that’s what I see and I’m waiting. I’m watching this vision and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and nothing is happening. And so as I’m seeing this, in my head, I say to spirit, okay, like, let’s get moving. Like, what? What’s going on? Like, move on. I see it. Okay. And and the message that comes into me is, No one is coming to save you.

No one is coming to pick you up and start moving you. And I was like, holy shit.

I was waiting. I, that was me. I was waiting, I was laying there waiting. And even in the vision, I was like, okay, spirit, come on. Who’s gonna come help me? Who’s gonna come pick me up? Let’s get going and. And as I waited at the, the message was just, no one’s coming. No one’s coming to pick you up. And it was this realization like, if I wanna move, I gotta get up.

Like I gotta get up. And Spirit was showing me that I’m not a puppet. No one is coming to control my life. No one is coming to move me in the right direction. If I want to move, if I want to move forward. I have to be the one to get up and take those steps forward, and it just blew my mind because at that point in my spiritual journey, I.

From what I had understood through the things I had read and the podcast I’d listened to, was like, spirit is gonna guide you forward. It was about E, everything that I understood was really about surrender, surrendering to the path, surrendering to what’s happening, and in my understanding of surrender. I had interpreted that as sit and wait. Sit and wait for something to happen. Sit and wait for the guidance, sit and wait for something to be brought to you. And what spirit was showing me is, no, no, no, honey. You have to do the work too.

Spirit universe is not going to do all the work. You can’t just sit and dream about an amazing life and it’s going to happen. You can’t just sit and say affirmations and make vision boards and picture your goals and think positive thoughts. You can’t just sit there and do all of these internal things without taking any physical action because what Spirit was teaching me is that this is co-creation

We can’t get to where we want to go just by doing all of these passive practices. And it’s not that those passive practices aren’t useful. It’s useful to try believing new things through affirmations. It’s useful to work on changing your thoughts by focusing on adjusting the way you think about yourself and adjusting the way you react to things in your mind.

It is useful to do all of that internal work, but it kind of doesn’t matter if you’re not taking steps forward in addition to doing that, because Spirit will meet you where you are. And , if you wanna be making movements forward, if you wanna have that momentum, you need to start taking the steps so that spirit can walk along beside you and continue guiding you forward.

Spirit’s not gonna do all the work. It’s this realization that as humans we have free will, we can make choices. And so that means that we can’t just sit and do nothing. Well, of course we can. That’s, that’s our choice with free will. But that’s not what we should be doing if we do wanna be bettering ourselves, if we do wanna be moving forward, we need to take that knowledge and the guidance that we receive and actually do something with it.

And that is what came through to me in that vision. And it really, it just surprised me because I thought, okay, I have this spiritual connection. Cool. Now everything is just gonna get better all by itself. Like I’m gonna be happy. I am going to have all these magical things happen in my life because I realize like, oh, I’m connected to spirit and I’m surrendering. That’s the end of the story.

And that is absolutely not the end of the story because we’re still human and we still live in this physical world. And if there are things that we want, we actually have to work toward them to get them and. Gosh, maybe that sounds so obvious. I feel like it sounds so obvious now that I’m saying it, but it just wasn’t obvious to me.

It felt like a contradiction to all of the spiritual teachings that I had been learning up until that point, and so, it’s really Spirit was showing me that I’m not a victim to my life, but I have so much power in creating where I go and I need to claim that power back.

You need to claim that power back. You need to take it back with in you and recognize that you have the ability to step forward toward the life that you want. And as you do, Spirit is gonna meet you along the path and walk that path with you, guide you forward, but you have to be moving too. It’s a partnership. It’s meeting halfway and what I’m really talking about when I say all of that is co-creation.

So co-creation is working with Spirit to create the life you want. It is you and Spirit in partnership creating the most beautiful, most magnetic, most aligned possible life for you in this lifetime. It’s working with spirit to get to your goals, to get to your dreams, to get to your visions of, a future, beautiful life that you’ve been picturing.

It’s working together to get toward that because we live in a physical world and we have to take those physical steps forward to get to where we wanna go. And it’s physical, like making the choices, taking the actions, and then it’s also energetic. And that is really where Spirit comes in, helping us by creating the opportunities and the, the energetic shifts all around us to create a path for us to move forward on.

It’s sort of like Spirit is leaving the breadcrumbs on the path, and we can pick up the breadcrumbs and move along the path, but we have to actually move, right? We have to actually take the steps forward, and sometimes that means doing things that are challenging.

It means actually working. I thought that I could move forward without ever doing any work. Again, it’s all ease and flow. You know, that’s what you hear about as you move into spirituality, but, That’s really not the case. We can’t just dream our way into a better life. We have to actually do the work to make it happen.

And as we do that work and we show our commitment and our seriousness towards moving toward these goals, that’s when Spirit can meet us where we’re at, and help continue to guide us forward. And Something that was so, I guess, interesting and impactful to me at this time is that I had really been working toward, toward a lot of things.

I love to set goals. I love to make lists. I am very much like I. A practical person. I love setting a goal and then breaking down all the steps and working toward it and seeing things get done, checking things off my list. That feels so good to me. It feels so rewarding to check something off my to-do list, and especially to see the results of working toward and achieving a big goal.

However, with the goals and the the things that I wanted to accomplish in my life, I constantly felt like. I was swimming upstream. That is the best way I can describe it. I felt like my life was a river with this huge, fast current, and every single time I set a big goal, I felt like I was swimming upstream.

I was swimming against my life because I had all these things that I wanted to accomplish, but, The reality of my life is I do not have a lot of time. I’m sure most of us have a super full life, and my life was already full to the brim. I have three kids. I have a husband who works a very erratic schedule.

He’s gone for long periods of time on travel and. It’s just, it’s just hard. Like I don’t have the actual time to complete the huge goals that I was setting for myself. And and everything felt like struggle. It all felt like I was going against my life.

And when we lean into co-creation, one of the things that Spirit is really guiding us to do is to flow with our life to just stop struggling. Just stop struggling and relax. And as I was getting these messages to stop struggling, just relax, just flow with life, just see where life is taking you. As I was able to start doing that, I I was able to start seeing opportunities come to me that were in line with the life I actually had that would fit into my current life.

For example, I love doing d i y projects and, and home design and interior design and I used to plan these huge interior design projects for my house where I would plan, okay, I’m gonna repaint everything. I’m gonna build something, I’m gonna do all of this stuff, completely redesign this room, it’s gonna take you know, a weekend for me to do this. If I can work eight hours a day each weekend day, and then it’s gonna be done and I’m gonna move on, it’s gonna be amazing.

However, I’m a stay-at-home mom with three young kids and a husband who travels. I can’t work all day on a weekend and get something done, like that’s literally not possible for me.

I don’t have that space in my life, but I kept creating these plans that just did not fit in with my life, not at all. And then I wouldn’t be able to achieve what I wanted, and I would feel like crap. I would be so upset with myself. I would struggle through it. I would try to push through. I would try to, force things to happen, I would think to myself, other women can do this.

Why can’t I do this? Other women achieve so much more than me. Why can’t I achieve this? And I would just shame myself into forcing through and trying so hard to get things done that didn’t fit in with the reality of my life. And when I finished it did not feel very good because I was exhausted. I would make myself.

Physically sick by trying to push forward to these goals that were just unrealistic. And the thing was, as I pushed forward to these goals, I, I mean, I would have to like ignore my kids, you know, in order to get done what I wanted to get done, I would feel frustrated. I would get grumpy, I would be yelling.

I was just not pleasant. And it’s like, why? Why? Why am I struggling so hard against life when I could just flow with the life that I have, flow with what is here? I could readjust these goals and start moving with my actual life. I could loosen my grip on what I think success is and instead, Allow myself to be guided by my life and figure out how the things that I want actually fit into my current life.

Like there was a lot of acceptance that had to happen in order for me to start co-creating with the universe and moving toward what I wanted. Because the co-creation, the working with the universe, it’s not about struggle. It’s about. Moving forward with inspired action, with action that feels good with action, that makes sense, that makes sense for your life, for where you wanna go. That’s intentional and that feels good.

So as I started to relax a little bit, loosen up on my goals. I heard from Spirit, like, you gotta stop struggling. And that’s where I swung totally the opposite direction. And it was like, okay, cool. I’ll just go completely into surrender. I just won’t do anything.

I’ll just wait. And then my vision came in that was like, no. No, you can’t just do nothing, Emilee. That’s not how this works. And so. I am now finding the happy middle ground, the middle ground where I am flowing with my life. I am allowing myself to live in the life I have and to actually enjoy the life that I have instead of creating stress where I don’t need to.

And then I’m letting Spirit bring me these opportunities. As they come to me I am taking them and doing the work toward them in a way that feels aligned in a way that It doesn’t create the stress and the feelings of swimming upstream that I was so addicted to before. And Spirit was really just teaching me and is still teaching me. I think this is probably a lifelong lesson, but how to be a partner with the universe to create the life that I want. To live with this flow where, I am moving forward and the universe is continually putting things in my path for me to work toward, for me to go toward.

You still have to move forward. You still have to do the work, but you can also trust the opportunities and the next step on your path is going to keep appearing before you. It’s going to keep coming to you as you are living from this empowered place, from this place where you have reclaimed your power. You’re not a victim to your life. You’re not letting life happen to you like you are in control. You are making intentional decisions. You are deciding that you are the main character of this story of your life.

And you are taking the steps forward to be that main character, to be the hero of this story, to be the one who got what she dreamed of, who took the steps to, to move toward that dream life, that soul desire of who you want to be, where you want to be, and how you wanna exist in the world. And you can do that in partnership with the universe.

So here’s what I want you to do with this information. I want you to think about something that you want, someone you want to be, which someone you wanna be. You wanna be yourself, but is there a, like a new version of you that you want to start living as? Like, do you wanna be more loving? Do you wanna be more giving?

Do you wanna be more open? Do you wanna be someone who responds with kindness? Do you wanna be someone who is more committed, more dedicated? Who is it that you’re working toward? Who is it that you’re working toward becoming more of? What is it that you’re working toward becoming more of? Or is there. A goal that you’re working toward, a job, a promotion.

Are you just working toward being more healthy? Are you just working toward walking outside more, spending more time in the sun? What is your goal? What is your goal right now? I want you to define that. Define what it is that you want. And then I want you to keep your eyes open for opportunities to lead you in that direction for opportunities that will start leading you toward that goal.

And you have to be open to seeing them. As you define your goal try to keep that in your mind because the more you keep it in your mind, the more you’re going to be able to see the opportunities coming to you that will lead you closer to that goal. That will be a little step forward.

You don’t have to jump to the end. You don’t have to picture your goal and expect yourself to be there right away. It is a step by step by step process, and the steps may feel super small, like if your goal is to become more healthy. Maybe after lunch you realize, oh, I still have 30 minutes on my lunch break. Why don’t I just take a little walk?

That is a sign from Spirit. That’s a message from Spirit that is intuitive guidance saying, okay, let’s go ahead. Let’s go and take this walk. Let’s work towards making ourselves more healthy, more connected to nature. Let’s get some movement in. And taking a walk might seem like such a small step, but it is a step.

It is a step forward and the more steps that you take forward. The more momentum that you will have to start pushing you forward toward your goals. Those tiny steps count, they count, they matter. They’re important, and they’re how everyone gets started moving toward a goal, moving toward what whatever it is that they are working for, that they’re looking for in their future.

And as you make those steps and create that momentum, spirit’s gonna keep bringing you more opportunities. Spirit’s gonna keep putting more ideas in, in your head, spirit’s gonna keep bringing you more of what it is that you want, but you have to make those steps. You have to take the action because it is a partnership and it is you and the universe working together, to take you towards your goal.

And I just wanna point out like. Isn’t that incredible to have that support, to have that support of the universe as you work toward what you want. You don’t have to do it alone. You don’t have to have all the ideas. You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to know exactly how to get where you want.

You just have to be making intentional steps forward. And be open to receiving opportunities and ideas that are also going to push you forward toward what you want.

By taking that intentional action, you’re also going to find a lot of clarity. So sometimes when we’ve been out of motion for a while, when we’ve been sitting and waiting for a while we can feel really confused. Like, well, what do I do? I don’t know what I should do first. Should I do this or this? Should I do? You know, when you’re working towards a goal, sometimes it seems like there’s a million different actions that you could take. How do you know what to do?

How do you get out of that confusion? And the way that you get out of that confusion is just by choosing something and doing it. That’s just by taking one little step. You don’t have to make the exact right decision all the time, and in fact, you won’t. Even if you try really hard, you are not gonna make the exact right decision every time.

You’re not gonna take the exact right step every time, and that is okay. Because the way that you move out of confusion, the way that you learn, the way that you define your path forward is through action, is through taking steps forward. As you take more action, you’re going to get more clarity. You’re going to learn, okay, this didn’t work. Okay, I don’t like this. Or you’re gonna think, wow, this was amazing. I love it. I wanna do it again. This is going to be part of my every day.

You’re only going to learn those things. You’re only going to learn what you like. You’re only gonna learn what works. By taking the actions to actually do those things, to actually do those things, and.

As you start taking those first steps, those first actions forward, you can reflect, you can think, how does this make me feel? Does this make me feel like crap? Well, then probably don’t do it again. Does this make me feel really good then? Okay, let’s keep this, this is good information. I know that if I wanna feel really good, I, this is an action that I can take.

This is moving me forward toward what I want, and I wanna encourage you to just. Try things out. Like I said, you’re not gonna get it perfect the first time. So kind of hold, hold loosely is what I’ll say. As you take these actions and these steps forward, know that you, your path may change. You may be sort of like taken on a detour.

You may have kind of a little bit of redirection, a little bit of course correction, and. So you can picture your big, beautiful goal at the end, but the steps to get there, hold loosely. Don’t get too attached to the step by step by step process because the reality is things are probably going to change.

And I also wanna point out like if we’re doing this as co-creators with the universe, the universe Source spirit, God. Probably has something even better than you have imagined planned out for you, and all you need to do to get there is take the next step forward. We don’t always know the magic that’s around the corner.

We don’t know what incredible opportunities are gonna come to us, and what we picture as the end of our path might be just the beginning of something amazing, that Spirit is leading us to. So what I would love for you to do to take this information about co-creation is to decide on your goal, decide who you wanna be, where you wanna be, decide on that, and then take your little steps forward.

Be intentional. Don’t be like me laying around, little marionette doll waiting for someone to pick you up and do life for you. Because this is your life and you have so much power to create what you want and to create it with the support of the entire universe, the support of spirit of God, of, of all, of this like magic, love, energy around you, laying out this beautiful path towards your goal and towards something more incredible than you could ever even imagine, and all that you have to do is keep taking those steps forward. Keep taking those intentional actions.

My dear friend, I do hope that this episode has been helpful for you. I hope it helps you to understand what co-creation is and how you are a partner with the universe to create this beautiful life that you love. I hope that this episode helps you to feel more supported.

As you move towards your goals, as you move toward the highest best version of life that you can possibly live in this lifetime, I hope that you can feel the support of the universe, of source of God, and I hope that it inspires you to start taking those actions toward your dreams and creating the momentum that will propel you forward in this life.

I really hope that you can feel and sense your personal power as someone who is creating an incredible life. As someone who has the ability to be the main character, the hero of this story, you’re not a victim to life. You are the creator of life. Isn’t that amazing? Oh my gosh. It’s so amazing. I really hope this episode has spoken to your heart.

I hope you’re leaving here feeling so inspired and I really just hope that it has served you well. I cannot wait to talk to you again soon. Goodbye my friend.
