Gateways to Awakening

Dear Community,
This episode is a little different—in the best way.
Host, Yasmeen Turayhi, hands the mic to her friend Bella Shing for an intimate, real conversation about Yasmeen’s new book, A Glitch in the Matrix: 10 Energy Codes to Become the Main Character of Your Life —a practical guide to waking up from unconscious patterning and stepping into conscious authorship.
Grounded in 15+ years on the personal development path and 250+ interviews on Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen distills what she’s learned into 10 core Energy Codes designed to help you shift your identity, reclaim your energy, and create from coherence rather than conditioning.
Together, Yasmeen and Bella explore what a “glitch” actually is: the moment you see the program running your life—and realize you don’t have to keep living it. They talk about the “Matrix” as a cultural agreement built on conditional worth and performance, how people unknowingly give their power away every day, and why identity is the real engine behind long-term change. The conversation also moves into energy mastery—presence, embodiment, intuition, nervous system capacity—and why levity, play, and humor are not distractions from the sacred, but often the doorway into it.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re living on autopilot, this episode is a transmission back to your agency.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. What a “glitch in the matrix” really is—and how to recognize it in your own life
2. How the “Matrix” functions as a dominant cultural program built on conditional worth
3. The most common ways we give our power away (and how to call it back)
4. Why identity is the reason most people don’t change—and how to use identity intentionally
5. How intuition differs from fear (and what “nonlinear knowing” feels like)
6. Why embodiment and nervous system capacity are essential for real transformation
7. How karma, resonance, and energetic “accounting” shape what comes back to you
8. The role of humor and play in spiritual maturity—sacred doesn’t have to mean serious
About the book: A Glitch in the Matrix is Yasmeen’s love letter to the world—an accessible, grounded framework for energy mastery, presence, and conscious creation, written for anyone ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living from inner authority.
About the guest host: Bella Shing is an artist and creator living in Lisbon. In this episode, she also shares what she’s building next, including her new app Daily Miracles, designed to help people track serendipity and train attention toward what’s working.
If this episode resonates, share it with someone you love—and let it be your reminder: your life is not a dress rehearsal.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen sits down with Michelle Masters—internationally acclaimed bestselling author, transformational facilitator, and founder of Wired for Magic—to explore the deeper energetic and subconscious roots of money.
Michelle shares how she went from having no real interest in money to creating her renowned Money Magic workshop and book, Money Magic: Clearing Your Path to Money, Time, and Happiness. She explains why most money work fails when it stays at the level of mindset and strategy, and shows how our core money patterns are actually laid down in the womb and early childhood, often entangled with our parents’ trauma and our ancestral field.
“We will not let ourselves have more than we think we deserve.” – Michelle Masters
In this episode, we explore:
Why money, at its essence, shows up as the energy of blessings

How core beliefs about safety, worth, and “being too much / not enough” form before age three

The difference between changing a behavior and changing an identity

How ancestral grief and parental overwhelm can become our money story

A powerful question to unlock a new future: “Even if it’s not rational or reasonable, what would I most love to experience?”

Practical ways to start revising old wiring and inviting in more ease, abundance, and support

On this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I speak with Maria Christina Owl, author of Planetary Ascension: The Purpose of 3D and the Choice We Face, spiritual mentor, ceremonial leader, and teacher of indigenous wisdom technologies and energy medicine. For over 25 years, Maria has helped people break trauma patterns, reclaim soul fragments, and reconnect to the living web of life.
We explore what it actually means to be a multidimensional human—through dreams, astral travel, intuition, and quantum DNA—and how many of us are unknowingly living inside “false timelines” that pull us away from our authentic soul path. Maria explains how to recognize when you’re off your true timeline, how fragmentation occurs through trauma, and how to begin calling your soul parts back through the body, somatic awareness, and loving adult consciousness.
We also dive into:
Working consciously on the astral plane: silver cord, solar plexus portal, and why nightmares are often a recall mechanism

Reversal grids, the “inverted pyramid,” and shifting from over-giving to receiving support from the universe

Psychic interference and entities—and why Maria lives by the mantra “I have no enemies”

Planetary ascension, solar light, changing Earth grids, and what acceleration in 2026–2027 might really be about

Grief as a teacher and how being forged in the fire of loss can open us to deeper compassion and embodied love

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in the wrong reality, stuck in loops, or exhausted by unseen energies, this conversation offers both language and practice for coming back to your highest timeline—through love, sovereignty, and wholeness.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen speaks with transformational guide Sascha Haert to explore the deeper architecture of intimacy, embodiment, and authentic relating.
Sascha works with women leaders who have achieved external success but still feel disconnected from themselves. Together, they unpack why relational patterns repeat, how to build partnerships rooted in truth rather than performance, and what it means to live from your deepest intelligence, the intelligence of the body.
This conversation illuminates the subtle ways we abandon ourselves, how to reclaim our needs with integrity, and why intimacy always begins with honest self-resonance.
“Intimacy only works when you stop performing and start telling the truth — not the dramatic truth, but the embodied one.” — Sascha Haert
Key Takeaways
Why many high-performing individuals struggle with intimacy and self-connection

How the nervous system shapes our ability to stay open, present, and receptive

The two pillars that Sascha believes every relationship needs to thrive

How to express truth without collapsing into reactivity or performance

Why sensuality is a doorway to self-awareness, not just pleasure

How polyamory can act as a healing phase — and where it becomes a bypass

Practical tools to speak the unspoken and build authentic connections

How to recognize and stop subtle self-abandonment in real time

The difference between compatibility and resonance

What it means to live from “yes” instead of fear, obligation, or pattern
