Episode Notes

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk, a story-based podcast told by mostly women walking their lives while their lives walked them. Stories of adversity, challenge, fear, vitality, discovery, adventure, expression, and so much more. Like magic, the sorcery of stories is this: they help each of us to be seen and heard, to understand and be understood. I’m your host, Diane Wyzga

Today my guest is Lisbeth Overton. I met her several short weeks ago on Linked In. Lisbeth is a registered nurse turned spiritual entrepreneur, and the host of her recently launched podcast: The Spiritually Savvy Nurse, as well as the Creator of the Divine Downloads Oracle Deck, and a Spiritually Wealthy Woman Retreat Facilitator. Lisbeth is on a mission to guide women back to their spiritual nature through a deeper relationship with their higher selves. Welcome to the podcast, Lisbeth!

Minute

00 to 2:05 - Intro

Start From Where You Are

2:05 to 6:09 Nursing Experiences

Family of healing arts practitioners
Sports Medicine Degree turned into folding towels at a gym; is this all it is? now what?
Returned to nursing school “because it would be easy”
22 years later she discovered that nursing allowed her to find her own self
Facilitating healing for others
Nursing as profession is flexible, creative, wide-open, and diverse
What she learned: our experiences mirror others and they mirror us providing opportunities to evolve
Not my job to fix people but hold space for them
When others feel seen, validated and supported they thrive

2 years ago: Divine Downloads Oracle Deck

6:09 to 10:15 Personal Development

Personal development has been a lifelong work
Overcoming her ingrained belief she is not creative
Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, “drawn like a moth to a flame.”
Hears a Divine contact message to create an oracle deck
How am I supposed to do that?
Asked for divine support to create the Divine Downloads Oracle Deck
Had been on spiritual sojourn for 8 years but still something was missing
Discovered a missed connection with her Higher Self - spiritual part of nature
We can be taught religion but we can’t be taught faith
Difference praying to God and communicating with God

10:15 to 12:05 Life Walked Her

How did the Divine contact experience turn life upside down?
Received faith over fear and "what if?"
“If you want to take the island you need to burn the boats.” Tony Robbins
Became at ease, peaceful, trusting, allowing, receive and follow-through - and was having fun

12:05 to 16:43 Expectations Versus Reality

She trusted the message to create the Oracle Deck
Did question the call - who will care or pay attention?
Challenged by fear and ego
Pressed through: what do these healing words mean to you?
Embody the words with affirmations (wisdom bits) and thought-provoking question
2 months from Divine Call to finishing the deck
Momentous to her: executed and completed a project
Spiritual team responded to affirm her achievement
Reward was getting it into the world
When you say “Yes!”you open the door to the miraculous

Paying Attention To Divine Time

16:43 to 19:39 It's Divine Time

How to recognize Divine Time?
Struggle becomes ease
We’ve been sold a Bad Bill of Goods: life is expensive, complicated and a struggle
Feel confidence, this is right, fun, allowing, no doubt or worry
“You receive what you prepare for.” Question: for what are we preparing? Worst case or miracles?
Shifted to miracle consciousness
Practice manifesting mind/body/spirit alignment to attract what you are deserving of

19:39:11 to 23:07 Transformation

Where were you on the walk of your life?
Adversity: loved her part-time work but felt trapped, uncertain, made excuses, had a desire but couldn’t get off the dime to teach yoga....pivoted
Looking to evolve: where do I go, what do I do, how do I do?
Casting about, spending money, researching; became an 8 year journey that landed her where she is
48 year personal life trajectory in total
Transformation happens moment by moment, decision by decision

23:07 to 25:25 Soul Connection

Was taught to pray but the Higher Self showed that there is another way to listen, dialogue and connect
The Higher Self has the 10,000 foot view of life, long game, blue print and guides you
Higher Self communication by personal soul nudges: a feeling, a knowing, maybe by dreams
Paying attention is the key
You have what you need; when will you give it expression?

25:25 to 28:49 Spiritually Bankrupt

How come I was raised in religion but didn’t have access to support and faith
Disconnected and lost
Feeling bad or guilty for wanting more
Today I trust in what I can’t yet see
Depth of faith is synonymous with what you manifest
Given an invitation which you are asked to accept
How does a woman distinguish being spiritually bankrupt from being fatigued, bored, exhausted?
