  Stewarding Intuition: Finding Clarity and Connection through the Akashic Field with Karen LaCamera

  Aug 17, 202659 minS12

  In this episode of Blue Hour , Adina welcomes Karen LaCamera back to the podcast to explore the evolution of her creative and intuitive work since their first conversation in April 2024. Karen began her career as a graphic designer, but her work has expanded into a fascinating intersection of creativity, intuition, energy, mandala-making, and Akashic Records. Her newest creation, the Akashic Messages Clarity Deck , brings these different practices together in a tool designed not to tell you what to think or what to do, but to help you reconnect with what you already know. Karen shares how creating mandalas began as a form of self-care and meditation—a way to quiet an overactive mind by engaging the hands in a creative process. Over time, this practice evolved into personalized mandalas inspired by chakras and individual energy. She also takes us behind the scenes of creating her 71-card Clarity Deck, including the six card categories: Frequency, Vibration, Themes, Guides, Actions, and Tools . Rather than functioning as traditional divination, the deck is designed to support discernment, reflection, and intuitive guidance. During the conversation, Adina receives an impromptu reading. The cards invite a movement from reflection toward action, sparking a deeper conversation about what happens when we stop searching for more answers and begin listening to what is already asking to be integrated within us. The conversation also explores the idea of integrating shadow and light —bringing insight into action, past into present, and uncomfortable emotions into greater wholeness. With eclipse season as a backdrop, Adina, Karen, and Roberta reflect on the value of sitting with uncertainty and resistance rather than immediately trying to transcend or solve it. Sometimes clarity doesn't come from asking another question. Sometimes it comes from becoming quiet enough to hear the answer that is already within you. In this episode, we explore: Karen's evolution from graphic designer to intuitive creative The meditative and healing qualities of mandala-making Creating personalized mandalas based on chakras and individual energy Karen's journey into working with the Akashic Records The inspiration behind the Akashic Messages Clarity Deck The 71-card deck and its six categories: Frequency, Vibration, Themes, Guides, Actions, and Tools How intuitive card readings can support discernment rather than provide definitive answers The difference between seeking external answers and trusting your own inner knowing An impromptu reading for Adina around home, displacement, and finding clarity The role of reflection and action in navigating uncertainty Integrating shadow and light Why uncomfortable emotions may contain valuable information Eclipse season as an invitation to explore what is beneath the surface The importance of presence when accessing intuitive guidance Karen's Clarity Collection, including the journal and coloring book The idea of becoming a steward rather than an owner of an intuitive tool Following intuitive flow rather than over-planning Learning to trust your own discernment and inner wisdom A question to take with you: What do I need to know right now? Rather than asking for a specific answer, allow this question to open a space for whatever wants to emerge. Karen LaCamera is a creative intuitive, graphic designer, author, and founder of Align by Design. With more than 25 years of experience in design and over six years of working in the Akashic Records, she combines creativity and intuitive insight to create tools that help people gain clarity and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. As the creator of the Akashic Messages Clarity Deck, Karen designed the deck to serve as a companion to the Akashic Records. The Clarity Deck encourages people to strengthen their discernment, trust their intuition, and discover their own answers rather than relying solely on someone else’s. She is also an Akashic Records reader, teacher, Reiki Master, published author, and creator of mandalas, journals, and other intuitive resources that bridge art, spirit, and personal growth. align-bydesign.com AlignbyDesignCreative alignbydesigncreative Support the show If you enjoyed this episode, please share it.

  In this deeply honest and vulnerable episode of Blue Hour , Adina welcomes Colleen Clifford to share the story behind her mission to raise awareness about alcohol misuse, mental health, and suicide prevention. Colleen opens up about her unconventional journey from binge drinking and commercial fishing to becoming an advocate for suicide awareness. After losing her husband, Scott, to alcohol-related suicide 14 years ago, Colleen made a promise to use her experience to help others recognize the warning signs, break the silence surrounding suicide, and find a path toward hope and healing. Together, Adina and Colleen explore the often-overlapping realities of trauma, binge drinking, depression, grief, shame, and suicidal ideation. Colleen shares how a traumatic experience in her late teens contributed to a deep belief that she was unlovable—and how that belief influenced her relationship with alcohol, her sense of self, and the life she created for herself. The conversation takes a heartbreaking turn as Colleen recounts losing her husband to suicide and discovering his body while working on a fishing boat in Alaska. She describes the profound trauma of experiencing such a devastating loss while simultaneously navigating the pressures of the commercial fishing industry, complicated grief, and relationship ruptures with her husband's family. Through it all, Colleen found a way forward.

  Hope is a Discipline: Past Lives, Womanhood, and the Search for Belonging

  Jul 27, 202655 minS12

  In this episode, Adina and Roberta open up about their Between-Life Soul Regression Sessions — glimpses of former selves as a grieving woman, an old hermit, even something not quite human. Roberta shares the vision that helped her make peace with 12 years of uncertainty about motherhood, a story that lands differently as she approaches the fifth anniversary of her miscarriage. They dig into why so many people — women especially — build their sense of worth around what the world expects of them instead of what actually feels true, pulling in Carl Jung's ideas on individuation and the masks we're taught to wear. They look at the child-free movement now reshaping an entire generation — with nearly half of women in their 30s choosing a life without kids — and what it would take to build a culture that makes room for every path, not just the expected one. They round out the conversation with an idea from abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba: hope isn't something you wait to feel — it's a discipline you choose, again and again, even when the world feels unbearable. This is a conversation about grief, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to choose your own life. Topics covered: hope and resilience, past life regression, between-life soul regression, motherhood and grief, societal expectations, Carl Jung and individuation, child-free living, belonging and attachment.

  Melting into Pleasure: Recovering from Freeze to Access Your Deepest Gifts with Luna Dietrich

  Jul 20, 202659 minS12

  In this episode, Adina and Roberta sit down with somatic trauma resolution practitioner Luna Dietrich to explore how sensitive visionaries, creatives, and entrepreneurs can transform freeze, overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation into resilience, self-trust, and sustainable success. Luna shares her unconventional path from working in a chemistry lab to becoming a sexuality teacher and eventually developing a practice that integrates somatic trauma resolution with business development. Her work supports sensitive, neurodivergent, and chronically ill entrepreneurs in creating businesses that feel aligned with their nervous systems, emphasizing pleasure, embodiment, and authenticity over hustle and burnout. The conversation explores how freeze responses develop, how attunement and permission-based practices create safety for healing, and why building self-trust often begins with the smallest achievable steps. Luna also shares her use of family constellation work, the importance of noticing "glimmer" moments that bring the nervous system into resonance, and how orienting toward hope and pleasure can fundamentally shift the way we live and work. In this episode, we discuss: Understanding the freeze response and nervous system regulation Transforming overwhelm into resilience and personal power Somatic trauma resolution and permission-based healing Family constellation work and relational healing The importance of tracking "glimmers" and moments of safety Supporting sensitive, neurodivergent, and chronically ill entrepreneurs Building self-trust through small, achievable actions Creating a business rooted in embodiment rather than hustle Balancing yin and yang energies in work and life Reclaiming pleasure as a pathway to healing and creativity Luna's journey from science to sexuality education to somatic healing Letting go of productivity as a measure of self-worth and orienting toward hope This thoughtful and grounding conversation offers a compassionate perspective on healing trauma through the body while redefining success in ways that honor sensitivity, pleasure, and the wisdom of the nervous system. Luna Dietrich is a somatic trauma resolution practitioner who helps sensitive visionaries, creatives, and entrepreneurs move beyond freeze, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Through nervous system-informed practices, family constellation work, and embodied business mentorship, she supports clients in cultivating self-trust, sustainable success, and a deeper capacity for pleasure, authenticity, and meaningful work. www.lunadietrich.com @luna__dietrich on instagram and threads Support the show If you enjoyed this episode, please share it.
