Exactly What Is An Ascending Doula: Spirit Fest USA Special

Author: Will & Karen | Hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians - Awakening Seekers of Spiritual Growth & Expanded Consciousness June 29, 2025 Duration: 16:30
So what comes after your spiritual awakening? Or after your kids leave home?
 
In this heart-centered and hilariously relatable episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians live from Spirit Fest USA in Dulles, Will and Karen sit down with Jenny Sikes, founder of Ascending Dawn Doula, whose work blends hypnotherapy, past life regression, intuitive readings, astrology, Reiki, and end-of-life doula services into one mind-blowing (and heart-expanding) toolkit for spiritual transformation.

You’ll hear: 
- How Jenny transitioned from 18 years in corporate recruiting to soul-centered service
- Why past life regression can help you release phobias, unblock purpose, and even understand tennis elbow?!
- The truth about witch wounds, water fears, and walking naked around the house (trust us—it fits)
- What your Midheaven has to say about your true career path
- Why we’re all psychic—and how to tell the difference between a “psychic” and a “psycho” at a metaphysical fair 

Plus, we go deep into:
- How end-of-life doula work mirrors transitional coaching for empty nesters
- The quantum difference between QHHT and SEH (and how you can do hypnosis virtually!)
- Spirituality meets LinkedIn—yes, she even helps folks revamp resumes with astrological alignment 

Whether you’re grieving your kids flying the coop, questioning your purpose, or wondering what dimension your higher self is hiding in… this episode is for you.
