Hi friends,

This is Gladys Ellen and welcome to my new podcast,

Heavenly Hugs.

This month we're going to be talking about the new role of the caregiver,

Guided by Archangel Ariel,

The angel of empowerment.

Welcome.

This is Gladys Ellen and I'm excited to share with you in my new podcast tips and tools and guidance that I've had over the years.

Today we're going to talk about the new role of the caregiver and we're going to be guided by Archangel Ariel.

Archangel Ariel is the angel of empowerment.

She's the angel of courage.

She's the angel of bravery.

Over the last three or four years,

The caregiver energy,

And I like to say caregivers,

Healers,

Earth angels,

Lightworkers,

We have stepped into a new role where we are no longer in the space to fix,

Change,

Save,

Make better for people.

It's something that we're so good at,

But over the last few years I found that caregivers have gotten very tired,

Depleted,

And drained from the role of taking care of everyone.

As we move into this brand new year,

2017,

And in this empowered state of deciding who we are,

Making choices about what works for us,

We are now in a place where as a caregiver our role is to comfort,

Support,

Teach,

And inspire others.

How I came to that is we have just finished a nine-year cycle.

Our nine-year cycle started in 2008 and it ended in 2016.

For me looking back on that,

It seems like a lot of people experienced a lot of challenge,

Heartache,

Pain,

Struggle in that last nine years,

But what it did is it also empowered us,

Really kind of helped us stand on our feet,

Clear out the things that were no longer comfortable or necessary in our lives,

People,

Places,

Things,

Ideas.

It really encouraged us to kind of step out of that old idea of what we should be doing and it forced us to really work through the stuff that we really wanted to do.

As a caregiver,

We are here to serve.

We are here to help people and it doesn't necessarily have to be our jobs.

It can be helping somebody in a grocery store.

It could be letting somebody go at a stop sign.

Kind of being wherever we need help and support of others.

But I find that over the last nine years,

Caregivers really struggled with that role because we had a lot of people that kind of latched on.

Like I mentioned,

The fix-mes,

The save-mes,

The change-mes,

The make-me-betters,

And maybe you yourself are one of those and also a caregiver.

So it was hard to really let these people go out of our lives,

But it was also looking back at ourselves saying,

Well,

Who am I without these responsibilities?

Who am I without these ideas?

Now here we are in 2017,

A brand new cycle.

I believe it's the cycle of making our dreams come true,

Really focusing on our goals.

I believe this is a year of action for a lot of us,

But it's also a year for nurturing.

It's also a year of patience and gentleness.

So I like to think about one years as planting seeds.

We all know that when we plant seeds,

It takes time for them to grow.

We know that something's happening under the ground,

But we don't necessarily see it.

And so a lot of us are still feeling like nothing's changed and what's happening.

I have all these goals and these dreams.

And maybe some of you are feeling like,

I don't even know what I want.

All this stuff is kind of gone right now and I'm in this space of what's happening and where am I going?

So it's really important to nurture yourself now and kind of avoid negativity,

Toxic people because it's out there.

There's definitely a challenge with people out there because the world is changing.

So with the caregiver,

Moving into this next nine year cycle,

I find that one of the most important lessons that we're here to learn about is giving and receiving.

We can be really,

Really good givers and it can be really hard to receive and receive as a simple somebody wanting to get us a coffee or somebody wanting to pay for lunch for us or somebody letting us go at a stop sign.

And I see as we go through moving forward,

Things can be a lot easier if we're learning to receive.

Now Archangel Ariel,

As we mentioned,

Is the angel of empowerment.

She's the angel of courage and bravery and she can really help shine a light on what we need and helping us receive abundance,

Prosperity,

Support,

Comfort,

Kindness,

Peace.

And so inviting her into your life,

If you're feeling powerless or you're feeling like you need the courage to say yes or ask for what it is you need,

She can really empower you.

So her color is a beautiful pink color and some of the ways you can call her in is inviting her in,

Calling out her name,

Surrounding yourself in her beautiful pink light.

She also sends signs.

So if you're a visual person,

Some of the signs that she has come forth with is sending bunnies around.

So if you're one to see bunnies in your backyard or I've seen many times bunnies run across the street in front of me and I kind of smile and say,

Okay,

Ariel,

I get it.

You're here to support me.

You're here to stand strong.

Help me stand strong.

You're here for bravery.

And it's really just an acknowledgement to say she's here to support you.

I know she works with a lot of little girls working with empowerment and standing strong and she sends the archangel,

Well,

She sends the little mermaid,

Ariel.

So if you start to see mermaids around,

There's your sign.

So when now being open to receiving and you have Ariel by your back,

What's going to happen is more people are going to want to give to you.

And I say,

Be a good receiver.

If somebody is offering you a present or a coffee or letting you go at a stop sign,

Be appreciative.

You know,

I let a girl go this morning at a stop sign on my way to my office and she gave me such a kind wave.

Like she smiled and she waved back in a way that made me feel good about letting her go.

And I appreciated that because she totally received the opportunity to go at the stop sign.

And I look for those little signs throughout the day and how to receive and how to give and it felt really good to give.

So by you saying no or not giving somebody the opportunity to give to you,

It kind of takes away a little bit of the energy.

And so as a caregiver,

We can kind of opening up our arms to receive because we need to also remember it helps others to feel good.

And so when we're in this place of giving and receiving,

Things are going to happen.

We're going to feel uncomfortable or we're going to feel really good.

But what happens is over time it gets easier.

And we ask for blessings,

Guidance,

Abundance.

We talk to God and the angels.

And remember too,

They abide by the law of free will.

So we need to be asking.

So if asking others and people around you is difficult,

Get really good at asking God.

But remember the flip side of that is we have to be open to receive.

So God's going to send people into your life,

Strangers,

Family members,

Friends,

Coworkers to answer your prayers,

To offer you support and kindness.

So be open to receiving that.

It's part of the process.

It helps us flow into opportunities and experiences better.

And another thing that I find as working with the new role of the caregiver is boundaries.

So we talk about empowerment.

We talk about bravery.

We talk about strength with the Archangel Ariel.

Boundaries is a really hard thing to stick to.

And as caregivers,

Myself included,

A lot of times I don't have any boundaries or I don't even know what my boundaries are.

So I find that when my boundaries are tested,

It gives me clear guidance as to what my boundaries are.

So sometimes we see situations as pain or struggle or challenge or difficulty with people,

Places things and ideas.

And it's really an opportunity to teach you about what your boundaries are.

So if somebody says something to you that you don't like,

A lot of times we can swallow it back.

We can pretend it didn't happen.

We can just avoid the topic to begin with.

But it really doesn't help us to feel good.

So with the Archangel Ariel and being aware of your boundaries,

She gives you the empowerment to say,

You know what?

That doesn't really feel good right now.

Or you know what?

Next time that happens,

This is what I'm going to say or this is what I'm going to do because I'm not necessarily a person who can think very fast when I'm under pressure.

So I'm better when I take a challenge or difficulty in and then I think about it.

I give myself time to think,

Well,

What could I have said?

This doesn't make me feel really good.

And I'll call on my angels and ask for their assistance.

As I mentioned,

Archangel Ariel,

She's like the lioness of the pride.

So she can really help you find the right words to empower yourself as opposed to feeling helpless or hopeless.

I know caregivers,

We mean well,

We want to help people.

But frankly,

Not everybody is nice out there.

People will take advantage.

And by being aware of that and being aware of what your boundaries are by them being tested,

It helps you grow stronger.

I find that God works in a way where one of the concepts I've been thinking about lately is the more I ask for things,

Financial security,

Health,

Advancement in my career,

I find that I start to experience the lack or the latter.

So in my life,

When I've asked for financial security,

I've experienced lack.

When I've asked for better health,

I've experienced challenges with my weight.

When I asked in the past for a better job,

I started to not like my job.

And I thought it was like punishment.

I felt like,

Who am I to ask for more?

And I felt like,

Why am I struggling so much?

It's easier just to stay where I am.

But I realized that we as caregivers,

We like our comfort zone.

And we're not going to move or we're not going to shift or change because that's scary unless something's uncomfortable or painful.

If you were happy in your job,

You'd never leave,

You'd never grow,

You'd never make any changes.

And God has planned for us.

And where we are doesn't necessarily mean that's where we're going to stay.

And so when it's time to shift or change or grow or make changes,

What happens is things start to get uncomfortable.

And it's kind of forcing us out of our comfort zone to make the changes.

So when I was asking God for financial security,

I am now feeling lack,

Looking at my bank account and struggling with bills.

And it just made me realize that I have to take action and find other ways to really appreciate my money.

So I started paying down debt,

I started to make better decisions with what I was spending with or spending things on and I realized that it was getting better.

And it was almost necessary for me to feel that pain in order to make the necessary changes.

Now what I also realized too is that we all have a threshold for pain.

So my tolerance is pretty low.

So as soon as I start to feel uncomfortable in my finances,

I start to make the changes right away.

Same thing with my health,

If my clothes aren't fitting comfortably anymore,

I start to do a little extra running or just being aware of what I'm eating.

Now there are also many people out there that need to go into bankruptcy or there are people who need to really have a challenge with their jobs,

Frustration and challenges with coworkers or maybe you're not making enough money.

It's that pain that's going to encourage you to look for something else.

Now I am not pro,

Quit your job,

Leave your husband or your wife and make these drastic changes.

But what I am open to is what changes,

Small changes could you be making to get yourself where you want to be?

Could you be communicating better in your relationship?

Could you be exercising more?

Could you be more mindful of what you're eating?

So I ask as you know you're moving through life and going forward as the caregiver,

Be more aware of how you're feeling and what changes are going to help you feel better.

Now you can't fix,

Change,

Save and make better as I mentioned for the people around you.

What you can do is you can comfort them,

Support them,

Teach them,

Inspire them by living your best life.

Inspiring other people through the changes that you're making.

I get often that prior to me doing this work as a spiritual advisor and a spirit medium and an intuitive,

I was a paralegal working at a law firm in real estate and prior to that I was a preschool teacher.

Every single time it was time for me to change or grow or move,

I started to feel that pain and,

But again,

I didn't want to make the changes and people depended on me and I had all these responsibilities.

So it was that pain that forced me to make the changes and one of the things was going to my first angel reading and intuitive session that really kind of opened and expanded my idea of what life could be.

I've been on this mission now to now empower and teach others to really be living your best life.

That's my whole idea behind these podcasts.

That's my whole excitement is to really share the angelic guidance,

To share the angels with you and to really kind of give you some tips and tools and some insight how you could be living your best life.

So I was excited that we opened with Archangel Ariel and I hope that you can be open to asking her for assistance and guidance.

She's also the angel of soul mission.

Now that we've made a lot of changes,

A lot of people are in that place of who am I and where am I going?

And so in the next podcast,

We'll talk about soul mission stuff and we'll talk about how to incorporate Archangel Ariel into your passion and your life purpose.

Hey everyone,

I'm Life Coach Glenn Ambrose.

Check out my podcast,

Life Lessons and Laughter every other Sunday on iTunes and at life-enhancement-services.

Com.

And so this is a portion of the show that I'm excited about.

I'd like to open up to some questions that my producer's been listening to and I've invited him to write down some questions.

So Ben,

What questions do you have for me today?

Thank you very much,

Gladys.

Also I apologize for coughing through some of this.

So the caregiver thing,

When we met like a year ago,

You spoke at length about the different types of people,

Caregivers,

I don't remember.

Healers,

Earth angels,

Light workers.

Yes.

And I remember identifying myself as a caregiver.

So I think that this was a crazy topic to start with.

So but I just wanted to ask,

At the beginning of the main portion of the show,

You started to talk about how during the last nine-year cycle,

The caregivers were supposed to get rid of the fix-mes,

Help-me.

We were not necessarily get rid of,

But gently ease them out of our lives.

To ease them out of your life.

So what if they're not out of your life?

Absolutely.

And it's hard because sometimes those people are our parents,

They're our siblings,

They're our coworkers,

And it's not easy to just pick up and leave these people.

So my suggestion is always get busy doing the things that you want to do that invoke passion and love.

And that creates less time for the people who want you to help them all the time and solve all their problems.

And I think people will understand as you set better boundaries for your time and energy,

I believe other people will respect that.

And if they're angry with you about that,

Eventually,

Unfortunately,

They'll go on and look for somebody else who they can attach to.

Yeah.

Thank you very much for that.

So really the answer is get busy doing the things that you really want to do with the people who you really feel happy about and happy with,

And there are your boundaries.

And part of that for me was this year,

Literally the only thing that I said we were talking about New Year's resolutions and stuff a couple of weeks ago,

And the only thing that I said that I wanted to do this year was to try to be more selfish.

We call it wise selfishness or spiritual selfishness.

Absolutely.

And that's exactly what goes along with doing the things that you enjoy.

And that doesn't necessarily mean,

Hey,

I'm not going to take out the trash and I'm not going to go help you shovel snow.

There are some things that we necessarily don't want to do that we have to do,

But we're talking about the unnecessary,

I'm helping this person and they're not making any effort to make any changes and that they're utilizing me.

And so that's the thing is this is now going to force you to be more aware of what your boundaries are and what you're enjoying and wanting to do more of that.

And then the last question that I had regarding the caregiver versus the help me.

Fix me,

Save me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is you mentioned the caregiver once they have let that fall by the wayside a little bit,

Once they've let go of that,

There's the feeling of,

Oh,

What do I do now?

Yes,

Absolutely.

There was this code.

There was this codependent relationship that I felt like I got the satisfaction from being the caregiver.

Helpful.

Yep.

So now,

But you get depleted and then you can't give anything because you don't have anything.

Absolutely.

But the replacement of now I don't have to help in this manner anymore.

How do you focus on what you want to do and helping yourself?

Well that's a scary thing.

And that's a lot of what happens and it really started about 2013 was who am I without these people?

I'm mom,

I'm dad,

I'm brother,

I'm sister,

I'm wife,

I'm husband.

And now people have those relationships may have changed and it's like,

Who am I now without these people in my life?

And it kind of forces us to kind of go within and this is that healing through pain stuff.

When you want true love,

You experience loneliness,

Right?

And that loneliness forces you to seek out those things that you want to make change.

So discovering that by being aware of what makes you feel good.

I say,

I want more of this in my life or something even better.

I had a really great night with friends.

I want to do more of that or something even better.

So it really is being mindful of your emotions and what's making you feel good and going more with that.

Awesome.

Thank you very much for answering those questions.

You're welcome.

So this is the end of our first podcast and we're going to continue with Archangel Ariel and the new role of the caregiver in a few weeks.
