Today is a great day because Laura Powers is back on the podcast! Laura is a celebrity psychic who has been featured by Buzzfeed, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and many other media outlets. Not too long ago, Laura and I began talking about the inner-critic. And she happens to have a slightly different perspective on the inner-critic than I do. I love it when guests can come on to share their unique view on managing negative self-talk so you have even more tools to learn and grow. In this episode we begin with a conversation about the inner critic, of course. We then move on to talking about Mercury in Retrograde, the healing power of sleep and empathetic energy. This was such an interesting conversation. So much so, I may even have Laura (whom I’ve dubbed our ‘in-house psychic’) back on the podcast again! In this episode: Laura’s unique view about our thoughts, things we are receiving externally, and the inner critic  (8:10) Mercury in Retrograde; what it means and how can it affect the world around us (20:27) The healing power of sleep (28:32) Empathetic energy, it’s possible your feelings are actually not yours (40:00) http://yourkickasslife.com/234
