build your faith in angelic guidance

If you ever feel disconnected or long for more support and guidance in your life, I have some amazing news for you: It’s available 24/7, 365, in the form of your angel and spirit guides. 

If the idea of a loving, otherworldly presence is hard for you to believe, I get it. It can be difficult to imagine that this type of relationship exists because it seems too good to be true. 

This is where faith comes in. 

For the latest episode of Dear Gabby, I sat down with my fellow Hay House author Radleigh Valentine, a spiritual intuitive and teacher, for a faith-filled chat about how much easier and more magical life gets when you begin to call in guidance from higher sources.

If you’re still not sure you can access this kind of support, I offer this advice:

remain open to possibilities

It’s natural to be skeptical. But if you’re open to clearing your skepticism, consider committing to a regular meditation practice to develop inner awareness. (You can download two free manifesting meditations here.) Meditation is a great way to begin to form a connection to the spiritual realm and the potential of angels.

Radleigh would call doing these practices going to “faith gym.” 

trust the process 

Here’s what I know to be true: Adopting a mindset that embraces the possibility of angelic guidance can lead to a more fulfilling and connected life. In addition to meditation, other mindful practices, such as deep breathing, can create the space you need to let these spiritual relationships unfold. 

You don’t have to do anything other than trust the process.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How to cultivate faith in an angelic presence and ask for support 
  • What an “angel walk” is 
  • The power of self-talk to generate positive outcomes
  • The names and healing energies of specific angels

I would never force a belief system on you. My only desire is to help you foster more faith in divine support and for you to know that you are never alone in this life.

GABBY: Radleigh Valentin in the house.

RADLEIGH: In the house!

GABBY: In the f ing house. Welcome.

RADLEIGH: Thank you.

GABBY: I love you.

RADLEIGH: I love you too. I'm so honored to be here. So blessed. It's so exciting.

GABBY: This all happened. We were in, so first of all, I've been a big fan and a huge devotee of your work for many years. We've traveled around the world around the country really together.

Maybe we've been in Europe I don't know. Maybe maybe not.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, we were in London.

GABBY: We were in London one time, many many moons ago. Yes, many many many and we've been sort of on these like perennial speaking tours together through Hay House And I've just loved you since the moment I met you. And you are an angel medium, is that how you would call it?

RADLEIGH: Sure. Yeah.

GABBY: Angel medium? Yeah. And you have gifted us with these beautiful decks and books. And when we were last together in Tampa, we were having a little coffee. You came over. You're being very humble. And you're just like, ah, I don't know. I was like, get your ass, sit your ass down, have a coffee with us.

And it was meant to be because all of a sudden I started channeling for the mediums. I was channeling for you and Sonia and I had this whole download for you and part of it was that we needed to do more together and that we needed to connect more. I've been opening up really psychically lately and so it's not an accident that you're here with me right now.

So if you're comfortable with it, I would like to welcome Spirit into our conversations with you, me, angels, whoever wants to come in. Not whoever, only the highest and the best.

RADLEIGH: Right, of course.

GABBY: But to just open up to it if you're open to it because that's It's happening for me now, and I'm going to have to ask you some supportive questions as well as a medium.

But let's just start with just a little bit of like the why. Why and how did you choose this path?

RADLEIGH: I think why is my favorite question.

GABBY: Oh!

RADLEIGH: I'm serious. I think that a lot of people don't like why they feel like why is a challenge. You know, it's a challenging question, I think, for a lot of people. And yet, it's the thing I love the most.

I live for why. It's like, why is this happening? Why is that happening? I feel like everything is a sign. And even, even today, I was like on the phone with a dear friend of mine and I was telling him, I don't know what shirt to wear. I don't know what shirt to wear. And I brought this other shirt and I picked up the shirt and a button went flying off of it.

GABBY: There you go.

RADLEIGH: To me, that is the stuff that you can't make up.

GABBY: Can I ask you a question? Are those lilies on your shirt? They look like lilies, right?

RADLEIGH: Yeah, they are.

GABBY: They are. So my angel guide is called Lily.

RADLEIGH: Oh my God. You can't make this stuff up. You cannot. It is impossible. You can't.

GABBY: You can't make it up. Well, she chose your outfit today.

RADLEIGH: Well, she certainly did because that button flew off. It was right here. There was no getting around it. That shirt was not coming into the room.

GABBY: This is just it. It's the why.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, it's the why. I love the why of the universe. And I love the whole concept of why are we here? Why did this happen?

I, I have this whole concept that the universe loves us, and this is taking a turn right away, but the universe loves us so much, so much that. I know this is going to sound weird, but—

GABBY: Nothing is weird here!

RADLEIGH: But it loves us so much that it will make us miserable.

GABBY: Oh, okay.

RADLEIGH: It will make us miserable.

And I look at it this way that the universe is like so into joy and this all goes back to why. And so people will be on this path and they stubbornly stay on the path or they fearfully stay on the path and the angels are nudging and poking and harassing. I remember when I first started to make my way in this business because as I think, you know, I'm a recovering certified public accountant.

I was an accountant. And when I first tried to make it in the spirit—

GABBY: Very much in the spiritual closet with the accounting career.

RADLEIGH: Well, you know what though? It's like I had a group of auditors working for me and you can't hide from auditors. So they knew.

GABBY: They knew.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, they knew they would seek me out on the internet.

And so then these like really conservative people would come in and shut the door behind them and sit down and go, “Can you pull a card for me?”

GABBY: Wow.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, yeah, it was kooky. But I, you know, I tried to make it in the spiritual realm. And there was this part of me because that accountant still exists. I love getting to be right-brained and left-brained.

I love that part. And so the left brained part of me was like getting all freaked out. I was building a house. It's like, dude, you're not really making any money. And, and so I went back to accounting in the government for gosh sakes. And it was awful.

I mean, they loved me. But I couldn't handle it and it just got worse and worse and worse and worse right up to this point where I had this auditor who decided that she was going to report me as being violent.

Now I mean it's like the human resource director for that municipality could barely not laugh through the interview. But the thing of the matter is the point is, is that the universe was like, you are not supposed to be here. You are not supposed to be here. It was just turning up the screws, turning up the heat, turning up the volume until I got so miserable that I would say, I can't, I can't and I'm not.

And that's why I say that when we are like asking why, why is my life so awful, why is this so terrible, why is nothing going right for me, the answer needs to be from you, what do I do next then?

Where, where is the direction I should be heading? When do I make the change? Why led to all of that? And I am so goo-goo over the Angels.

I've been talking to Angels since I was five. And not really even knowing what I was doing. And it's to this point where I am so saturated in that energy. So saturated in that energy from the standpoint of, I can't wait to tell people about it.

GABBY: Yeah!

RADLEIGH: I can't, I can't. It's like, we are literally bathing in Archangel Michael sapphire-blue right now.

GABBY: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

RADLEIGH: I mean, it's like, you have created this space. To, to talk to people around the world where they can feel safe and protected because that's Michael. You are steeped in the whole energy of, of life purpose and what is life about and how can people have the life that they want to manifest.

And Michael is like this perfect guide for that message. And all I want out of life at this point is to like, be there when people's eyes open for the first time. You know, it's like you can put me in, in, in front of a bunch of people and I do light up in front of a lot of people.

GABBY: And you're a performer too. In the greatest way.

RADLEIGH: I am. I know. And I believe that. I believe that's on purpose.

GABBY: A hundred percent.

RADLEIGH: You know, I'm quintuple Sagittarius.Shine a flashlight at me. And I will be like a Christmas tree. But I think that's so that people can hear what the angels are trying to say for me.

GABBY: That's why you're so contagious and that's why I fell in love with you too because it's like, yeah, you're like a performer. You're going to come out with your fancy shoes and you're going to be doing it. But it's just in the true joy of being an expression for the light and to wake up that light in other people.

RADLEIGH: That's the thing. Being there when their eyes open for the first time. It's like, if I walk into a room, and this is happening more and more, I think that the angels have got it, this is what I want, bring me this. And so I'll walk into a room to teach, and I'm expecting there to be all these people who are angel people, and more and more, it's like, I'll say, how many of you know anything about angels?

Nobody raises their hand, and to me that's like, score! It's like, this is it, this is the thing, because that's what I want. I want the kindergartners. Yeah. I love my college students.

GABBY: Oh, yeah, yeah. I like what you're saying. Like the adults that are kindergartners?

RADLEIGH: The adults that are angel kindergartners.

GABBY: Cause like the kindergartners know the angels are there, right?

RADLEIGH: They do know. They do know. Your kid knows.

GABBY: My kid knows. Oh, yes. Yeah. I want to talk to you about that actually. So if you were to talk to the kindergartner adults that don't know anything about angels, what's that first message? What is it that you want them to know?

RADLEIGH: You know, it's like what do I not want them to know? What do I not want them to know? It's funny because I love the archangels and a lot of people love the archangels. People get really stuck in that. It's a human thing. The archangels, it's a sexy, glitzy concept. They're practically like superheroes.

And we as human beings, we love this categorization. We love this whole thing. Well, Michael comes in sapphire blue and he does life purpose and he does, you know, and we love that as human beings. And yet we are 24, 7, 100 percent all the time, constantly surrounded by guardian angels who adore us, who've literally been lifetime after lifetime after lifetime with us.

Not just one.

GABBY: Really?

RADLEIGH: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they are like weaving in and out of this tapestry of existence with us. all the time. They are. And that's why they're so valuable because it's like you've got this guardian angel and you don't know why you're acting out that really bad relationship you had in 1934, but they do.

And the thing is, is that while they will not necessarily reveal that lifetime, you'd have to do that work, but they can still give you the guidance and push you in the right direction of going, you've done this before. Don't do it again.

GABBY: Or push you into it to heal it. Right? Yes. Back to what you originally said, yes, yes, yes.

RADLEIGH: Until you get past it.

GABBY: Yes. I love that perspective of the difficult experiences in our life or guidance to heal. But when we have extreme experiences that are placed upon us, we have to see a deeper meaning.

RADLEIGH: Right. Yeah. I agree.

GABBY: And it's kind of a controversial conversation.

RADLEIGH: I know it is.

GABBY: But I know you know what you're talking about.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, I know it is. And there's a million people who can write to us and say, but here's my pain. And, and I would be like, I can't in any way negate your pain. And I don't want to and couldn't even begin to try, but the thing is, is that you have a companion, you have multiple companions, you have guardian angels that are there that adore you, it is. It is meeting just your guardian angels is an act of self-compassion that has no literal limit because you are literally totally, absolutely inconceivable.

Connecting to something that was filtered down from the divine, from source, from universe, from God, I don't care what you call it, but is literally coming from the all that is, that is love, and is determined, beyond anything, that you will be happy.

Lily is concerned about Gabby, and by extension, the other people in your life that you love deeply, but Gabby is game one.

It is the number one thing that your beloved child and husband have their own guardian angels and their number one, but it's like to me to walk away from this eternal compassionate love and hope that is literally programmed into the matrix of our existence is sad and unnecessary. It's like suffering alone when you don't have to.

GABBY: And I, I feel like there's so many people that are listening and they're thinking, I'm here. They're listening. They have a spiritual inclination. They obviously leaned in, but they want that connection. And you know, I hear you and I, I carry the same sentiment. There's this beautiful line from A Course in Miracles.

“If you knew who walked beside you on this path that you have chosen, fear would be impossible.”

RADLEIGH: Right.

GABBY: And I live that, you live that, that connection, like you can see my whole left side goes numb. This is my tuned in, like I know I'm in because this goes numb or it goes up like that. So it's sort of like antennas.

We have our own ways of, of knowing spirit’s with us. There's so many blocks that we place in front of that truth. Those humans that are in the human condition and have forgotten the spiritual condition.

And so, maybe even just by listening to this, it's a cracking open. But how would you recommend that somebody open the door for that connection to their archangel or their personal angel or whoever it might be that they're supposed to be calling in to?

RADLEIGH: It's like anything. I call it going to the faith gym. And it's like, you don't walk into the gym and leg press 700 pounds. You walk into the gym and you leg press 25 pounds or you do whatever it is that you're going to do to start with, which is completely determined by where you are at the moment.

The key to it all literally is faith. There is nothing in my life I would undo. Nothing, no horribleness, no terrible pain, no awkwardness, no awfulness that I would undo.

And I feel like I literally came to earth with this astrological chart that was designed, because Sag is faith. That's what it is. And faith is what gets me through because I absolutely will not concede that anything that happens to me isn't meant for my highest good.

You cannot make me, I will not do it. But that meant going to the gym and working in the faith gym, working that muscle. And so, if you're going to start talking to your guardian angels, then it's about setting aside time for that. Even if it's just a little bit of time, you can, you can pull a card, you can pull a card, you can journal.

GABBY: Read one of our books, read the, so this is not a plug for my book, but The Universe Has Your Back. The subtitle is transform fear to faith. That book is a faith igniter. It is. It's a faith igniter. I channeled the book. It is a gift that I was given to give to others. And that's any spiritual book, truly.

It's not just mine. But I can say specifically that one of my books is like, that would be a place to start to crack open to that potential faith, to that feeling of faith.

Also trusting that there's faith infused. So now I'm channeling a little bit. So it's like trusting that there's faith infused in the, each pass of that book, each reprint of that book or each reprint of a deck, or that you can experience the transmission of someone else.

You can borrow the benefits of someone else's grounded faith. And the other thing that I'm hearing right now for us is that spirit brought us together at this time, not before, but now, because the two of us are fully grounded in our faith in this moment. Like, the, the full blown alignment that I see in you is a reflection of what I see in myself at this time.

That's why I was like, boom, like, what are we doing together? This is just the beginning.

RADLEIGH: I believe that the angels are present. It's just a matter of you letting yourself have a moment to try it. If it's just, I call it angel, go, angel walk. Just go for a walk. Yeah. I mean, people get so hung up on names.

That's another human thing. You know, it's like for decades. I would not tell anybody their own guardian angel's name and the reason was because my experience with getting to know Joshua was one that was like, Oh my gosh, that was such an amazing experience. I don't want to deny anybody that.

GABBY: Is that your guardian angel?

RADLEIGH: Yeah. Yeah. That's my primary.

GABBY: We’ve got Joshua right here.

RADLEIGH: I know. Don't think I didn't notice that when he emailed me. I can't make this stuff up.

GABBY: No, you can't. No, you can't.

RADLEIGH: I was on a Hay House radio show one time, my own, and this woman called in, I'll never forget, her name was Deborah, and she was like, I want my guardian angel's names, and I opened my mouth to say the words, I won't do that, but I'll tell you, and Josh was just sort of behind me, he was just like, tell her, and I'm like, what? And, and what I learned from that entire experience, because I did, And then my box was full, you know, everybody wanted and what this told me was that people, and it's taken me so long to get okay with this.

People really like to give people like you and me their power. And I am so uncomfortable with it.

GABBY: Yes. Yes.

RADLEIGH: So uncomfortable with it. It's just like not okay. And don't give anybody your power. But I've kind of like gone to the point where I will give you my power enough to go, here's a name because really—

GABBY: Well, how about this though?

I will empower you because I don't want you giving power.

RADLEIGH: Well, no, it's true. But is it but I the way I look at it is like they don't care.

GABBY: You're lending your faith.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, they don't care. Just call. Right? And and so I just sort of got in this place where I'm like, you know, what if I just tell them the name that I'm getting they suddenly feel empowered.

They feel like I've got the key now and I can go the next step. And if they go the next step, then magic is still going to start to happen. Little by little, slowly, if you just keep working on it, then you're going to get to this place where you start to see the bigger picture. You start to see the magic that is embedded in every element of life.

And when you do that, then you're on the path to joy.

GABBY: I first heard Lily when I was channeling for my husband. It was interesting that you said she'll help your family, but she's there for you, right? So I thought that she was Zach's guide because all of a sudden she came through and she was channeling all this stuff for his back.

This was like 15 years ago. Channeling, channeling. The next day, our, my friend, Rebecca Rosen, do you know Rebecca? So Rebecca comes to my house to give me a reading. She's a good friend. And out of nowhere, she goes, who's Lily? And I was like, thank you for the reinforcement. Then she explained that Lily was my guide, exactly as we know.

So Lily's been my guide. And every time, Rebecca, like you probably, when she gives a reading, doesn't remember anything that she said, right? So every single time she gives me a reading, she's like, L, Lily, Lily. And she's like, who's Lily? Every time. And I'm like, she's my guide, sister.

That just sort of, trusting, back to your point, it's helpful that Rebecca reinforced that for me. And so I don't think it's bad to necessarily tell people what their angels or their guides names are if it's natural, if it feels like it's for the good, for the highest good.

RADLEIGH: I, I've just come around and yes, I have psychic amnesia for sure, for sure.

GABBY: You do, you do.

RADLEIGH: Oh yeah, totally. And I always just try to hope that people don't take it personally. I'm just the channel. I'm just a channel. And even if I'm speaking, and I know you're probably experienced this too, but when I'm speaking, I don't really go on to stage with anything more than the barest minimum of an idea of what I'm talking about, because what's going to come out of my mouth is the genius of the angels.

It's not me. I'm just the vessel.

GABBY: The stuff I don't remember saying on stage is the channel is, I mean, it's all kind of in collaboration. So when I channel, I'm still here, but I'm talking with a partner, you know, there's, there's more communication coming through. But then of course, there's moments when you kind of incorporate the message.

And those are the things that people, “Can you believe you said that?” I’m like I don't remember saying that or I go back and reread the book and I'm like, who the F wrote this book?!

RADLEIGH: No, I totally will like walk off stage and go. I know I killed that. I know that was brilliant. I hope somebody recorded it because I got nothing.

GABBY: I won't remember. I won't remember. Yeah, yeah.

[END AD BREAK]

GABBY: So right now, for instance, I have a personal request. So I'm working on my vocal cords and I keep getting this hit about breath and that I'm not breathing properly. And a lot of that, I know the sort of psychosomatic effects of that. I'm kind of putting the pieces together and letting myself be guided.

They're just joking with me now. They're like, you are listening. But it still feels like something that's got fear behind it. My voice is my life, right? So it's my purpose. So I just wonder, like, I guess I'm hearing that they're saying, like, we're planting you in the right places. We're putting you in the right places.

The deepening of how we would use angels for healing, like physical healing.

RADLEIGH: Yeah. It's so funny because you're green right now. And I'm not, I'm not like, that's not my thing.

GABBY: I knew that was coming. Gabriel, right?

RADLEIGH: Yes. And well, actually Raphael for healing. But Gabriel, you're right. That was, that was literally, I was starting with Gabriel in my head, but then I can see green in your hair and it's down near your neck.

So Raphael is physical healing. But Gabriel is our voice. She is the archangel of communication. By the way, archangels. don't have technically genders, but Gabriel appears to me as feminine because she's the archangel of the enunciation and creativity and communication and all this stuff. But she is communication and that is your voice.

You've also got some of this pale green, not just the emerald green that is Raphael, and Shamuel is this archangel, among other things, that brings us personal peace.

He is, and it's like, Shamuel has, in my life, has been so undermined in a way, because his name means the eyes of God. This, it's just cliche.

It's, it's just ridiculous, but it's like, show me what his eyes have got. He can help you find your car keys. Well, yeah, he can. But how little is that compared to personal peace?

GABBY: Right. Right.

RADLEIGH: And, and so I've, I feel like that what you need is a little personal peace about the path from. You've come so far and I am so in awe of you and I mean that it's when I go to places where there's multiple speakers, I just want everyone to get off the stage until you get there.

GABBY: Oh brother…

RADLEIGH: And no, I mean it with all of my heart and you talk about authenticity for me and stuff, but I see it in you and I see it from the standpoint of someone who literally took adversity and turned it into a worldwide mission to change people's lives.

And you're better at it than me sometimes because you have really good boundaries and I don't.

GABBY: I think you do. I think you're starting. I think you probably do more than you think.

RADLEIGH: I'm getting there. Yeah, I think you do now. I'm getting there, but I haven't. And I think, I value my humility, but it's this thing that sometimes it gets in my way, and I look at you and I go, she doesn't let it get in her way at all.

GABBY: I’m not that humble.

RADLEIGH: I maybe not, but I kind of think in some ways.

GABBY: This is who I am and yes, I have, yes.

RADLEIGH: I just feel that you are so in tune with the reality. And, you know, it's, that's really hard. Reality is difficult on planet Earth.

GABBY: Well, before we even go to the reality part, do you see where my hand is?

RADLEIGH: Yes.

GABBY: And as you were talking to me and giving me that message of reflecting to me, I started feeling this like warmth in my throat and in my, and you can even hear my voice is like relaxed right now.

And I literally feel healing happening right now. I feel like, I feel it in my throat even. And right here, heat, and it was almost like they were like, see yourself and letting you show that to me. And I just can't move my hand. It won't move.

RADLEIGH: I love being a mirror. I do. And you know why I love being a mirror?

It's because so many people mostly see themselves in such a poor light. That it's just so easy for me to not judge. That's, and thank you mom. I mean, we were, that was just beat into us in a loving way. But that we would not judge. And I think my life being what it is, I get judged all the time. And I'm just really not gonna propagate that.

But it's so easy for me to look at somebody and say, Oh my God, you're beautiful. It's and… mean it cause I do mean it. And I was actually, this is angels too, Gabby. It's like, I was actually, I got totally blessed to, to be at this dinner when we were here for Hay House last and I just got invited to it and it was someone that was a famous person.

And I didn't know her, but she was lovely, but she was kind of psychic and stuff. And so I walked in and we were talking about different things. And I kept saying what I thought. And at one point she looked at me and she said, you are awfully even-tempered. And I said, Oh, am I? And she said, I'm betting you're one of those angel people, aren't you?

And, and I laughed out loud. I guffawed. Because it's like, this is what angels do. If you are literally saturating yourself in unconditional love, it starts to come out of your pores.

GABBY: You said this twice now, saturating yourself in the angelic energy, right? And so, I know what you mean. I know though also that when the humanness will take me out, then it's about returning to it and calling upon it, right?

We both say, I don't care what you call it, I just care that you call upon it, right? So if we were to saturate ourselves in angelic energy right now, hat might be a call in for that?

RADLEIGH: Try to set a time, at least up front, that is your daily time where I am going to be in this energy only. Where I'm going to go, and I'm going to sit, and I'm going to block out the world, and I'm going to literally ask the angels to come be with me.

And then I'm going to notice what happens. How do I feel? What's going on? And, if you do that on a daily basis, then you start to get this place where you can call on at any given moment you want to where it's like, okay, this is not good. I'm in a bad place. I need to chill out because we human beings are creatures of habit.

And so if you build the habit, you can do it. Saturating yourself, I think in angels though, is when it starts to become this thing that you have to think about constantly. I never don't not think about it as a writer. I never don't not think about it, but it's this whole concept of I am constantly looking.

Is that a sign? Is that a sign? If it's a sign, does it, what does it mean? I'm, I am never stopped looking because it's, it's once you see the magic behind things, you see the magic everywhere.

GABBY: Right. And I also think when we start to connect to the specific energies that we have access to, We can call on them when we need them.

So Wayne, Wayne is really big in my life. Really, really present, Wayne Dyer. And when I gave a talk for Oprah's Super Soul Sessions, I was really in my ego right before because it's Oprah, right? And normally I just walk out on the stage. You know, you see me all the time. I'm just ready to go. I've always, I don't have any fear, but there was ego, you know, Oh, I'm going to get an Oprah stage.

And so I was in the hotel. I remember this, like it was yesterday. And I had an ask. I didn't even ask. I just laid in my meditation. I was lying down and Wayne's energy just flooded the room. And it was like this calmness. Just remember how it was like the slow pace and the relaxation of him on stage. And it just completely passed over me and I just felt that presence and I was like, Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

And then I take the car to go to the theater and my car pulls up and there's a car in front of me and the car in front of me is Miss Oprah Winfrey herself. So it's just the two of us in the parking lot. It was like seeing you. I was like, what's up Oprah? You know, it didn't matter. Like the veil had lifted.

I didn't need the ego part. And that was Wayne. And he carried me through that talk. And so that energy is something I'll call in before I do a podcast, before I go live on stage. It's like how my hand is still here. And so knowing the different frequencies that you can tune into is quite, that's sort of like level two, right?

RADLEIGH: Well, it is. And yet it's like, for some people, I think it can, it can be level one. If Great Aunt Edna is the person that you feel that you can connect to and that's less fearful, if that's less concerning to you, then go for Great Aunt Edna and she'll bring the angels along. But I just think that what brings you peace?

What feels like faith?

GABBY: What do you trust into?

RADLEIGH: Yeah, what do you trust because trust leads to faith? So, what do you, what do you trust? What is, um, you know, rescue remedy, this little stuff that you like spray in your mouth and just gives you this moment of, and it's like, what is your rescue remedy in the spiritual realm?

GABBY: Love it.

RADLEIGH: What is it? What is the thing that is an instant shot of comfort to you? Because that's what you should lean into first, but angels are literally of the divine. So there's nothing to be fearful of, but I think sometimes people, one of the saddest things that anybody ever says to me that just breaks my heart is when someone says, well, I don't have angels.

It's like I remember even being in a metaphysical bookstore one time when I was somewhere and I was speaking and I had just gone into the store and she said, well, I don't have angels. I sent them away when I was 20 and they never came back. And I'm just like, so heartbreaking. It's like you can't send your angels away.

They don't have egos. You cannot humanize angels. They're not human beings. They're, they don't have ego. They, you can't hurt their feelings. You can't frustrate them. You can make them sad for you on your behalf, but they are pure love. And, and so making that connection doesn't have to be something that is fearful or worrisome.

You don't have to fear. What if I get nothing? It's, it's, it's not about getting nothing, it's about doing the work to make the connection so that you start to get something and then you get something more and something more until you're getting something every single day and everywhere you go.

GABBY: Yeah. And that something is like when you know, it's a knowing, right?

So as we kind of wrap up the conversation, it's like, I wanted to make sure I didn't leave this out, which is that the name I wanted to name my son before I named him Oliver, I knew he was a boy. But I wanted to name him Faith. Faith Rocklin. Like how hot is that name? It's a good name. It's a good name.

But, you know, there was a lot of like ego around like, you know, everyone's gonna think he's a girl and blah blah blah. But I wanted to name him after my grandma Fritzie, who's one of my guides. And then you started talking about Sagittarians and faith. And I was like, well, Ollie's a Sagittarius. So is my husband.

You guys are all over my life. And then it was like Sag, faith, and then it was Fritzie. Like, I was like, oh, Grammy's here. See, do you know what I'm saying? So it's like these little dot, dot, dots. That's just the how spirit's guiding you. And so it's like, Oh, I feel Grammy. And then it was kind of like, this is middle name faith.

Like I might, this might've been a little thought right there. So, um, I'm still contemplating Ollie Faith Rocklin, but wouldn’t that be cool? Ollie Faith Rocklin. It's a good name. So this is the thing, like you and I could riff about this for 400, 000 hours and just keep going and keep going. It's the first time, but there'll be many more times you have to come on the show.

So can you please come back? Okay. Yes, sir. Maybe on the regular. For right now, I want to pull a card for one, I want to selfishly have you pull a card for my voice.

RADLEIGH: Of course.

GABBY: And two, I'd like to pull a card for my listeners.

RADLEIGH: Okay.

GABBY: So we'll close with the listeners. Let's pull from the Angels Auras.

RADLEIGH: Yep, this is Angels and Auras Oracle Card deck.

GABBY: Gorge, babe. Beautiful cover of the art.

RADLEIGH: Thank you. This came out of, I did this with one of my very best spiritual friends, Dougal Frazier, one of my very best, I don't know why I say that.

GABBY: I like it.

RADLEIGH: Dougal's amazing.

GABBY: He did the art?

RADLEIGH: No, he is an aura person and I'm an angel person. And so I had him on Hay House radio when he first came to Hay House and he started talking about like, Oh, blue does this.

And I'm like, but wait a minute. Archangel Michael is blue. And he does that. And then he'd say peak and I'd be Jophiel. And then, and we started to realize there was this wackadoodle or not connection between colors and the angels that the colors are said to resonate with. And so we started like going, there's something here.

And so I pitched this and Hay House said, yes, absolutely. And that's so cool.

GABBY: Wait, what is that? What is the cover? What is the cover image? Is that a blue butterfly?

RADLEIGH: No, right there. No, this is just angel angel wings. Yeah, yeah. And the cover is guardian angels. Cause they're white. And so, thank you. It's a beautiful deck.

GABBY: We'll put a link to this in the show notes. It is so pretty.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, it's a beautiful deck. And so we have all these cards that are like, yeah, well, or archangels. Ooh. Yeah. And it was done, the artwork was done by Brooke Stefanelli, who did a killer job. We loved her. Let's see about your voice.

GABBY: This is so fun.

RADLEIGH: I know, right? See, that's the thing.

GABBY: It's like you and I can do this for hours.

RADLEIGH: Right, exactly. But this is such a great way to get connected to the angels if you don't have the confidence in yourself.

GABBY: But yeah, go get one of your decks. Yeah, yeah.

RADLEIGH: We'll put confidence in paper, but we won't put it in ourselves. Yeah.

GABBY: So it's a pathway in.

RADLEIGH: It's a pathway. It really is. Yeah. Pathway. Okay. I see you there. So, Uriel. So Uriel is my favorite archangel. It's the one that first presented himself to me. Uriel is this archangel that is about three things. He's the archangel of epiphany.

He said to carry a scroll in one hand and a flame in the other. And so he brings us this flame of epiphany, this brilliant insight. But there's a method to Uriel's madness, and that is to take you from the epiphany to the emotional healing. And the emotional healing is where we start to get our ducks really in a row.

We have this aha moment, and it's like, I can't talk about Uriel and not get angel bumps all over my body, so I apologize for that. But, and I'm probably grinning like a Cheshire cat, but Uriel brings this emotional healing. And that leads to life transformation.

I mean, if you really think about it, Gabby, I know you're really connected to Gabriel, but it's like, Uriel is such a good archangel for you to take on in your, in your mission right now.

Cause think about it. You are providing people with epiphany. You're trying to help them to emotional heal and you're trying to get them to make a life transformation, but you're embodying it right now. You're, you're literally embodying it. And so this card says passion, epiphany, entrepreneurship, and being driven.

Those are Gabby words. Every last one of them. And so I, I just want to say here's a new pal for you, but also I would just want to say don't waver. Don't second guess yourself. Don't rethink anything. You've, you've been spot on for so long and it's like, don't worry about anything. You are on your mark and this is the evidence that you're on your mark.

GABBY: Love that. That's beautiful. You channeled Uriel for me last time. You don't remember.

RADLEIGH: Did I? Oh my gosh.

GABBY: Yeah. Yeah. So that's how it works. Just what's coming through.

RADLEIGH: Psychic amnesia.

GABBY: That's fine. Uriel's my guy. That's my guy.

RADLEIGH: Okay. Alright. This is for the crowd.

GABBY: This is for the crowd.

RADLEIGH: Yeah, I'm all Uriel goldened up now. So for the crowd, we have Haniel. Ooh, she's sexy. She is. And this is, um, briefly, this is a thing. So when Brooke did this card, it came back to me and I was like, this is a bit much. I think it's a bit much. It's like, come on, we need to back off. And Dougal just dug his toes in. And he's like, Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

And the reason he felt that way, and he's right, is that this is Goddess Energy.

GABBY: Yep.

RADLEIGH: Okay. Haniel is the most goddessy of all the archangels. She is confident. She's strong. She is powerful in her femininity. She is the archangel associated with the moon. She is our psychic gifts. She is where we tune in and what have we talked about this entire time, is tuning into your angels for the first time.

Haniel is a perfect angel for doing that. This color is silver and it says goddess and psychic and sacred.

GABBY: Wow.

RADLEIGH: That's what your, your people need hearing right now.

GABBY: It's goddesses who are sacred and psychic and proud. That's so beautiful. Thank you.

RADLEIGH: Hey, my pleasure.

GABBY: Yeah. My, my voice has softened in your presence.

Oh, and I just love you so much. We’ll do so many things together.

RADLEIGH: I adore you to pieces. I sincerely do.

GABBY: I am your girl. We're in it to win it. Okay, baby. Everyone's going to listen to this all the way through the end. I know it for sure. Everyone please go check out Angels and Auras oracle card deck, any one of Radleigh Valentine's decks and we're just going to be so in this together.

I can see it so clearly. I also saw us texting, like we need to be more connected.

RADLEIGH: I'm happy to. The only thing that's kept me from doing it is you're so busy and I didn't want to be.

GABBY: No, just text me and be like, what's up girl?

RADLEIGH: Okay. Okay. I will.

GABBY: Door's opened. Please. I love you.

RADLEIGH: I love you too.

GABBY: Thank you for blessing us with your presence.

RADLEIGH: Thank you for blessing me with being here.

GABBY: And your faith. Thank you.
