Episode 188
Monday, 8 June, 2026
In this powerful and deeply expansive episode of The Authentic You Podcast, Gemma is joined by Fiona C Joy for a raw, honest conversation about what it really means to live and work in deep spiritual alignment.Fiona shares her journey through years of intuitive and shadow work practice, and how her path has continually evolved through identity shifts, spiritual initiation, and inner transformation. What unfolds in this conversation is a grounded exploration of what happens when sensitivity, intuition, and energetic awareness meet real-life experience.Together, Gemma and Fiona explore themes of shadow work, energetic boundaries, nervous system awareness, and the importance of self-trust when navigating unseen or subtle energetic experiences. Fiona opens up about a recent personal experience that challenged her capacity, deepened her awareness, and ultimately reinforced the importance of discernment, support, and sovereignty in spiritual work.This episode also dives into the wider conversation around authenticity, integration, and why so many people are now being called to step fully into who they are without hiding, diluting, or outsourcing their inner truth.If you’re on a path of spiritual development, energy work, or self-inquiry, this conversation will resonate deeply. It’s a reminder that true alignment isn’t about bypassing discomfort; it’s about learning how to stay with yourself through it, with compassion, clarity, and grounded awareness.Find out more about Gemma - www.gemmasandwell.comYou can follow Fiona here - www.instagram.com/fionacjoy/#AuthenticYou #ShadowWork #SpiritualAwakening #EnergyWork #Intuition #SelfTrust #SpiritualGrowth #Embodiment #InnerWork #HealingJourney
