CLICK HERE to listen to my tribute to Princess Diana for the 15 years anniversary of her death. Her brother Earl Spencer said “Her greatest gift was her intuition”. The Princess of Wales was nicknamed The Queen of Hearts for her commitment to global charity work, giving an abundance of love to those less fortunate and opening people’s hearts.
Love,
How many times have you said, “Yes,” to someone when you’ve wanted to say, “No”?
I’ve often had a gut feeling that I needed to do something a particular way and then someone has suggested I do it another way and followed their guidance only to feel frustrated afterwards, realizing that my first instinct was the best course of action.
Earlier today I was at the Getty Museum with my family for a children’s concert. I could see my three-year-old son was getting tired as he hadn’t taken a nap. As we sat on the beautiful emerald green lawn, my intuition said, “Stay close to Dominick, he’s tired”.
“I better go be with Dominick to be safe,” I said to a family friend.
“He should be fine, there’s lot of kids running around and it’s a nice big grassy area,” she said.
I thought to myself, she’s probably right, she’s had two kids, I don’t want to be the over-protective mom, so I sat on the blanket and went against my instinct.
A few minutes later, Dominick ran down the lawn and couldn’t slow down. We didn’t see the height of the wall, even though there was a line of flags hanging to prevent kids from jumping from the grass onto the concrete. My heart dropped into my stomach as Dominick fell almost three feet off the wall onto the hard ground. The security-guard who was meant to be stationed there, wasn’t.
My mind flashed to spending the rest of the afternoon in the E.R. I was terrified. My husband Nick leapt over the barrier and scooped up Dominick. I couldn’t believe he was ok, apart from some light scrapes on his hands and knees. “Thank you angels,” I whispered to myself.
I didn’t want to be the mom who pushed back, I wanted to do what I thought was the polite and respectful thing to do. I didn’t want to seem like I was paranoid and overreacting.
I was reminded that in my desire to be loved and accepted that I was doing something to make someone else happy.
The most important question to ask yourself is, “Am I feeling intuition or fear?”
It is much easier to see clearly for someone else when you have no emotional attachment to the outcome. However, if you have strong feelings or are fearful about how things could turn out, it will be very difficult for you to clearly evaluate whether you are being guided by your intuition or driven by fear.
One of the most common questions I get asked is, “Should I stay in this relationship or end it?”
Over and over again, I see that the person asking the question already knows the best course of action to take, but they don’t want to hurt the other person, even though it is hurting them by not making a decision.
When I was in my dating days, I found the more friends I talked to about my confused feelings and asked for their advice, the worse I felt. I didn’t have the confidence to make a choice because I feared making a mistake.
I’ve learned that failure is the road to success. If I hadn’t gone through my dating nightmares, then I wouldn’t have been ready for my loving husband.
When I used to give dating advice on my TV show in the U.K. I was secretly confused over guys, I felt like such a failure but I later learned that I wasn’t confused, I had very low self esteem.
Here is a mini-quiz for you to see if you have a habit of people pleasing?
1. You’ve been looking forward to a morning off and starting your day at 10am and your boss or a client calls you the night before and asks if you can come in at 8am. What do you do?
a) Pretend that you have another commitment and then feel guilty for telling a white lie.
b) Agree to start at 8am.
c) Say that you have planned for a quiet morning but are happy to do 8am the next day.
2. A new movie is out that you’re excited to see and the person you’re dating who you’re really into wants to see a different movie that isn’t your type of genre. What do you do?
a) Arrange to see the movie with a different friend but wish that your date was with you.
b) Tell them you don’t mind seeing the movie of their choice but feel disappointed.
c) Let them know you’d like them to see the movie with you, even though it isn’t their thing, you’d be so happy if they’d go with you.
3. It’s your good friend’s birthday but it’s at an expensive restaurant and you know it’s going to be a big check and you want to stick within your budget. What do you do?
a) Say you’d love to be there to celebrate but you’re not feeling great and eat dinner at home.
b) Go to the dinner and feel anxious most of the night and spend over your budget because other people have ordered lots of drinks and you only got an appetizer.
c) Tell them you’re on a budget and would like to get a separate check and have a great night celebrating.
Mostly A’s: You take care of yourself but it doesn’t feel good. You are being out of integrity with your needs. It’s time to build courage in being honest about what you want and letting the other person know that you care about them to.
Mostly B’s: You are being a doormat. You probably know that. You see yourself saying, “Yes,” when you want to say, “No,” but it’s like you can’t help yourself. This means you have some deep buried mindset patterns that need to be acknowledged and healed.
Mostly C’s: Congratulations! You have good self-esteem. You are true to yourself and create win-win situations in most of your relationships. This doesn’t mean it is easy for you but the more you practice, the better you will feel about yourself and set a great example for others.
I’d love to hear what insights you got about yourself from the quiz?
Love & miracles,
Joanna Garzilli

I used to think that if I meditated, prayed and had a spiritual connection, everything would work out exactly how I visualized it.
My story was I ended up loosing everything I owned. I kept meditating, praying and visualizing and couldn’t understand why I was sleeping on my friend’s garage floor.
I didn’t understand why meditation + prayer = spiritual connection wasn’t getting me the results I wanted.
I thought I must have done something terribly wrong that I wasn’t aware of. I prayed to see the truth. I asked spirit on a daily basis why I was struggling but I remained stuck.
One day I sat down with my journal and the words that fell onto the page were “God, spirit, universe, why won’t you help me? Why are you punishing me like this?”
And then it struck me like a lightening bolt. I was angry at God, my spirit guides and how my life had turned out. I blamed spirit and wasn’t taking responsibility for any of my thoughts, feelings or actions.
It was an uncomfortable shameful feeling but the good news is that as I faced that irresponsible part of myself, my life began to improve fast.
Many steps I took, led to turning my life around and I’m sharing what springs from my heart, so that you can have a brighter and happier day.
#1 Look at your life differently. When you wake up in the morning, what are your first thoughts? Whatever you are thinking sets the tone for your day and how it will unfold. Start taking action from a place of consciousness. For example: When I awoke, I felt optimistic and wondered how I was going to achieve what I wanted. I had an internal conversation with that part of me. I told it that I was going to follow my dreams and wanted my spirit to guide me. All I have to do is take the action.
#2 Think of something you want and say, “Yes,” to it. Is it a deeply fulfilling relationship, financial security, a career change, perfect health or a peaceful mind? I started reading Loral Langemeier’s “Yes! Energy”. Instead of working yesterday, I took the entire day with my family. I was telling my husband about wanting to say, “Yes,” to my dreams at every level.
“Let’s look at houses,” my husband Nick said.
“Ok,” I said hesitant.
We pulled on to one of our favorite streets and there was an open house. Nick parked the car and said, “You go in first”.
“I don’t want to,” I said. That was a lie. I didn’t want to go in the house because we didn’t have the money in our bank account to buy it today.
“Go on,” he said.
I reluctantly got out the car and walked down the beautiful driveway. The house was everything I wanted. I loved this house. I sat down in a gorgeous leather chair in the screening room and allowed myself to feel at home.
“What did you think?” the realtor said.
“I love it,” I said.
“Ok, great, let me get your info,” he said.
I was about to tell him, “No,” and why and then I decided to play with the “Yes! Energy” Loral had inspired in me.
Our son Dominick was napping in the car, so Nick went into the house separately. When he came back out he said, “I sat down in this great leather chair in the screening room, it felt awesome”.
“Me to! It was the only place I sat down in the whole house, I guest that’s why we’re married,” I said smiling.
#3 Take counter-intuitive actions. For example: If you usually leap out of the bed in the morning and go straight to email, lie in bed a little longer and read an inspirational book and journal any “aha”. Mix up your daily routine. Do you always go to the same lunch spot or supermarket? Try somewhere new, so you can shift the way you see things. If you decline a potential business proposition or relationship, why are you saying, “No?”
I hope that you get everything that your heart desires and more because you deserve to have an amazing fulfilling life!

Thank you so much for your beautiful prayers reflected back to me, I appreciated your emails:) I also had quite a few of you asking about my healing session with Howard Wills, I promise I will share more details on Friday about what happened!
I got a TV hosting request in from my manager at TVGuestpert. I thought it a good idea to do some research on the TV production company, who were interested in me. As I typed in the name of the company into my iphone and read, I gasped.
“What is it?” my husband Nick said.
I didn’t want to tell him, it was embarrassing, a skeleton in my closet.
“You don’t want to know,” I said.
“Tell me,” he said.
I took a deep breath to find some much needed courage.
“I hooked up with one of the owners of the TV company.”
“Did you sleep with him?” he said.
“Yes, he’s also a famous TV host in the UK,” I said, cringing. I felt so embarrassed.
That summer was a crazy summer. I had written a book called Confessions of a Psychic which I later on threw away because it was written during the peak of my love addiction. I was giving great relationship advice on Live TV but when the focus went back on myself, I couldn’t let myself feel my feeling. I attracted many clients to me who also suffered around love relationships and dating. As I’d tune in for a client, they’d often reflect back what was happening in my own life and spirit would channel the answer through me.
It felt awkward because I wondered if I was really giving true guidance however, at the end of the session, the client would say, “Wow you totally nailed what I’m going through and I feel like I can handle this moving forwards”.
I’m only sharing about my love addiction now because when I was in it, I was ranting and complaining about men betraying me, leading me on, using me. I was a total victim.
As I did the spiritual work, I kept healing. Some days it felt incredibly painful to be with my feelings but I have learned to be with the discomfort because I know the other side of this pain is an ocean of peace where I am deeply connected to spirit. It makes me a better intuitive, psychic and coach. I am able to see with deeper clarity. I see into the depths of a person’s soul. The beautiful lesson I recently learned is just because I can see someone’s garbage and smell it, yes energy has a scent to it as well! It is not my responsibility to clear their blockages unless they want to be helped.
I know many of you reading this are extremely empathetic, meaning you absorb people’s energy, what they are thinking and feeling, you take on, into your own energy field. When you begin to heal your past, things can feel worse before it feels better but know that if you have the courage to clean out the closets of your mind, heart and home, your life will improve in leaps and bounds and miracles will occur!

I went to see a healer. His name is Howard Wills. I haven’t gone to see a healer for a few years for several reasons and you can use this checklist below, when you are deciding whether someone is a good fit for you as a healer, psychic or coach.
Firstly, I needed to know that this healer had a higher vibration than me and was totally aligned with spirit. Yes and yes, he was!
Secondly, I wanted to know that he could hold the space for me to let go of what was holding me back from living my life purpose 100%.
Thirdly, I needed to feel safe enough to surrender to the next stage of my spiritual awakening.
I’ll admit I was nervous about going and seeing this healer because my past pattern many years ago when I got on my spiritual path was from a space of desperation. I was a total love addict and my intention of seeing a psychic or healer was to stop the obsession in my mind over whomever I was romantically involved with.
Seventeen years later, my intention had shifted. Spirit said I needed to get 100% aligned and that was my goal at this healing session. My husband Nick drove me up to the house in a gated community in Beverly Hills. This was where I would meet Howard. I didn’t know what to expect. I felt nervous, as I didn’t like feeling vulnerable. I did my best to stay open minded. My old belief system, “You can’t be spiritual and make money,” was ravaging my mind. When Howard came out to meet us, I felt incredibly uncomfortable because I could feel him see straight through me. I was the one so used to being able to see people beyond what they could see for themselves. Howard was dressed in a long white robe. Again, my mind wanted to go into judgment about how a healer should be dressed, “Was he a charlatan dressed as a guru?”
Nick took Dominick outside to play basketball in the private cul de sac while I sat with Howard. I could feel my ego mind squirming. I didn’t want to share my weaknesses but I did because I knew that this lower vibration needed to be transformed into a lighter more joyful frequency.
Even if you are no longer talking with someone, even if they are dead, their energy can impact you today. I have seen this many times when I’ve worked with clients in a psychic capacity. You may not have spoken with an ex-spouse for ten years but your feelings towards them and their feelings towards you will impact your ability to have a happy loving relationship today.
I went to see Howard to heal my family lineage. My parents choose not to speak to me. They have told me I am evil and that they can never forgive me. I used to think, I won’t be seen as a great intuition coach because I don’t have a wonderful relationship with my parents. What I have learned is the healing has to happen from within yourself. My parents are in my dreams almost every night in the last couple of months. It has been a great loss to me. The better my life got, the more my parents rejected me. I have been using this experience as an opportunity to become a better mother, wife and friend. I pray for my parents every day. Not to make them feel differently about me, of course I would love them to love me, but so they can heal because I feel their pain.
In the past, when I’ve shared about my healing journey, some people have emailed me offering me their coaching services or trying to point out there is something wrong with me. I share about my life to show that I am human and have challenges to. I embrace my spiritual growth because as I learn, I can pass on this gift to others who seek to know how to turn pain into peace.
The key is to feel your feelings. Don’t ignore or deny your feelings otherwise they will control your actions and you will feel imprisoned, powerless to change your situation.
Today here is my prayer for you:
May your heart be filled with the grace of God,
May your soul live its purpose with courage,
May your spirit soar with angel wings of light,
May your days be filled with laughter,
For laughter lifts the mind, body and spirit to a place of joy.
Peace and blessings.
