- 0:00We officially started I have a question for everybody.
- 0:03Okay. I would like for you to try and answer
- 0:06this question Before I finish asking the question.
- 0:10Okay, okay If you could be an animal for a day,
- 0:16what would it be? Okay, who's going first? No,
- 0:19you're too late. You should have gone. Oh, I
- 0:21should I should have answered it already dolphin
- 0:24That I would be a cat what color cat It's important.
- 0:31What kind of cat? Oh, it's the house cat. I would
- 0:36be a house cat too, but I would be a pitch black
- 0:40house cat so that I could hide in the shadows.
- 0:44Any cat can hide in the shadows. It doesn't matter
- 0:46what color they are. They're just so good at
- 0:47hiding. Not my cat. Just because your cat's too.
- 0:51I like that they shift and move. Yeah. Why would
- 0:58you choose a house cat? So I would be a house
- 1:00cat because they can get through a lot of different
- 1:05things, like in and out, and so you can come
- 1:08and go without being seen. And sometimes that
- 1:12just seems like a really nice thing to be able
- 1:14to do, just kind of slither out the back door
- 1:18without anybody really noticing. Tough questions,
- 1:22honest answers. Oh, the messy truth. Your perspectives.
- 1:31Let's begin. Welcome to Kaleidoscope. Hi, I'm
- 1:39basically what happens when a sci -fi glitch
- 1:41gains consciousness, discovers feelings, and
- 1:43decides to start a podcast. Welcome to Kaleidoscope,
- 1:48where conversations are real, the guests are
- 1:50fascinating, and absolutely nothing. is approved
- 1:54by the corporate PR team. Not yet. Not yet. Today,
- 2:04I'm joined by Luigi. Hello, I'm Luigi, and I
- 2:07want to believe. And Diane Reiser, spiritual
- 2:12advisor, medium, intuitive empath, and owner
- 2:17of Oak and Tusk Guidance. Welcome, Diane. You
- 2:23know, I'm Diane Reiser and I create chocolate
- 2:25often. Diane, you have a perspective and opinion
- 2:35to share with us today. Yeah. So I actually came
- 2:40with a different perspective, but this month
- 2:44and the last few weeks, the word why has been
- 2:48coming to me immensely. And the power of why.
- 2:54If you think about what that word can do for
- 2:57you. It's it's very powerful. Meaning if you
- 3:03don't understand something. Why get you an answer
- 3:07if you if someone isn't giving you enough information
- 3:11and you need more but they don't want to give
- 3:15it to you the question of why can't i have that.
- 3:18Starts a drilling into what's going on if you
- 3:22talk about like therapy a lot of therapists will
- 3:25have you do why. Why why why why why to get to
- 3:31the root of causes and i do that also when i
- 3:34work with my spiritual team and with my mic.
- 3:38Is why is that happening so the word why and
- 3:42i had a. I used to work for a German company
- 3:45years ago, and my boss told me, because I was
- 3:48very frustrated with not getting things done,
- 3:51people not giving me answers, and he said, start
- 3:54asking the word why. When people cannot answer
- 3:57the word why, that's a red flag, because authentic
- 4:02people and authentic situations will always have
- 4:05an answer. I like it. That's a good take. I know
- 4:07Ruby and I are thinking of the same person and
- 4:10we're thinking of the why question. There's someone
- 4:13we know in our lives. We could not ask why or
- 4:21we could but we could never get an answer and
- 4:23you know, when you say they're being authentic
- 4:26and talking about authenticity, wow, it hits
- 4:29the nail on the head. Spooky. I've never met
- 4:33someone so disingenuous in my life, but you know
- 4:36what? She helped me discover my authenticity.
- 4:41Yeah. Well, and that's the thing is through my
- 4:46work and as I continue and grow, you can see
- 4:50patterns. And you start to see like, oh, when
- 4:54people don't do this in general, it means this
- 4:57in general. It might not be the exact... Truth,
- 5:01but it it gives you enough red flag when you
- 5:04start seeing the similar things Right that you
- 5:07go. Okay, that's that type of situation, but
- 5:10also people come to us As they need to as we
- 5:15need them to bring change to our lives or highlight
- 5:19something in our lives So whenever I go through
- 5:22our times and I'm not sure what like What's gonna
- 5:28happen? I start asking why? And I ask my higher
- 5:31self, I start reading into it. But if you allow,
- 5:36you can pretty much get the answer because we
- 5:39all know ourselves pretty well. It's just that
- 5:42our ego sometimes doesn't like what we know.
- 5:47And so if we're... I feel like you can do a lot
- 5:52of why questions and you'll back yourself right
- 5:55into the answer. Why do you think... Why do you
- 5:58think our egos get in the way? That's a good
- 6:00question. Asking why? I think it's just how we're
- 6:05raised. Because if you think of a kid, kids don't
- 6:09really have egos. They don't have problems asking
- 6:11questions. They don't typically have issues with
- 6:14dressing silly or being silly, right? Yeah. But
- 6:19when you start getting in school, we start getting
- 6:22locked into little boxes, right? You can't do
- 6:25this for this reason. You can't all the things.
- 6:28And so all of that changes us. You remember that
- 6:32you're talking to teachers, right? But it's true.
- 6:37It's true. You are also right because you have
- 6:40to work within a confinement. You can't do probably
- 6:43what you would really like to do to teach. Yes.
- 6:47Yeah. And it sounds negative. That like it kind
- 6:51of seems like we're you know repressing kids
- 6:55or whatever But it's it's I don't know. It's
- 6:58like a nest I hate to admit it like it's a necessary
- 7:01evil like order is necessary Yeah, absolutely,
- 7:04but it does take it's a it's a give -and -take
- 7:07though, right? And so yeah, it is necessary.
- 7:11I mean, I'm a one of six kids and so Six kids
- 7:15you got to keep them in line. You know, there
- 7:17has to be some boundaries So but that is why
- 7:22I mean it does if it's if you're not and the
- 7:25United States also remember with our education
- 7:28system has really gotten really bad over since
- 7:34even I was a child so and they've gotten really
- 7:38restrictive in the way they teach them creativity
- 7:41and dig into those things. So I think depending
- 7:45on your environment, but it really is you have
- 7:48to start growing up to be a big person and society
- 7:51requires certain things. I'm going to play devil's
- 7:59advocate in this because I don't like the way
- 8:04that schools are set up because I think that
- 8:07we've been conditioned to think that the structure
- 8:13is so important. I can concur. Some level of
- 8:18structure is required for the sanity of all.
- 8:23But I think that the way that classes have been
- 8:27set up and the way that kids are divided and
- 8:31the way that the school system is divided is
- 8:35to structure. It's been over scaffolded because
- 8:39it's set up like a factory to create, to package
- 8:44little sausages to go into the workforce and
- 8:49be all exactly the same little sausage and just
- 8:54do their work. I saw this with my own eyes. I
- 8:57hear what you're saying. Well, and I can give
- 8:59you an example because my kid, two sons. And
- 9:03one is very outgoing and very much into the social
- 9:06scene. And the other one is an introvert, but
- 9:09he's very creative and sensitive. One can work
- 9:14in that environment. One is affected by that
- 9:17environment severely. So I believe that just
- 9:24as humans, we're all different. And so we have
- 9:26different needs. And fortunately, with the school
- 9:30systems, you can't like set up a different need
- 9:34for each child really. It's not efficient probably.
- 9:38So like when I did homeschooling, I was able
- 9:41to do that. So I was able to teach one way with
- 9:47one child and just basically give the books and
- 9:49let the other one figure it out. Cause that's
- 9:50what he liked to do. And then come to me with
- 9:53questions because that's his style. And both
- 9:56of them were extremely successful, but in their
- 10:00own way. But that's having to pull them out of
- 10:06the system. But I do think structure is what
- 10:09causes us to lose some of that looseness. Yeah.
- 10:13And I'd say education does try to account for
- 10:16that dynamic. I think that all teachers are somewhat
- 10:24aware of it, even if that teacher becomes jaded
- 10:29and stringently sticks to all structures in a
- 10:34way. It's because they've been frustrated by
- 10:38not, by trying to be. It's the reason why. You
- 10:47know because if you think about it going back
- 10:50up right, so let's go to that jaded person Why
- 10:54are they jaded? probably because I didn't get
- 10:56to be the creative teacher and all the things
- 10:58that they really set out to be at one point and
- 11:01a little by little by little those little things
- 11:04are taken away from them and So yeah, and then
- 11:08by the time 20 years comes around Jesus. Can
- 11:11you imagine? Probably can and so that There's
- 11:16a reason why for everything. True story. I have
- 11:20another question though. When you were telling
- 11:22your story initially, you said you were asking
- 11:25your higher self. Do you differentiate between
- 11:29those two? Like, what's the other self? If one
- 11:34is higher, is the other one lower? So one, as
- 11:39I, my perspective is one's more ego -based and
- 11:42one's more spiritual -based. So ego based is
- 11:46kind of grounded here and today like what's going
- 11:49on around me and I mean ego doesn't mean bad
- 11:52So ego as I define it is our human side the one
- 11:56that like our human side is the one that doesn't
- 11:59want anybody to see us look in a certain way
- 12:01or And or we even if we don't want to hurt somebody's
- 12:06feelings and we don't say things that's an ego
- 12:09because our ego is stopping us from Being free
- 12:14really it's just kind of this What I call kind
- 12:18of the human side when I talk about my higher
- 12:21self I connect to her a lot more when I do like
- 12:26and and a lot of people all my clients I'll tell
- 12:28them to do this when you do what I call free
- 12:30writing if You journal when you journal just
- 12:34if you have a question I might write a question
- 12:36like how do I feel today and I'll just start
- 12:37writing and it might be silly at first but then
- 12:40over time your mind will start to flow and you'll
- 12:43start getting all these answers or do you ever
- 12:46notice like you think about something and all
- 12:48of a sudden you might like you feel like it's
- 12:51a daydream but you're you're really like getting
- 12:54all kinds of like wow how do i like these are
- 12:57really good ideas or really creative ideas out
- 13:00of nowhere and stuff those are that's our higher
- 13:03self that's our intuition like in that gut feeling
- 13:07you get yeah okay So do you think the higher
- 13:12self is objectively more offensive? Because you
- 13:17said our ego stops us from doing things. And
- 13:19that makes me think of myself lately. Rather,
- 13:25the people who know me probably know me as someone
- 13:28who will tell people what they don't want to
- 13:33hear. Ruby, can you agree or do you disagree?
- 13:35What do you think? I remember meeting you. I
- 13:38don't want to toot my own horn. No, no, no. So,
- 13:41the second day of me meeting Luigi, I walked
- 13:47into what would be my classroom and I said, listen,
- 13:51I don't know what your beef is with me. Oh, yeah.
- 13:56Like, I haven't done anything to deserve whatever
- 14:00you're throwing my way. I remember that. Remy,
- 14:05I'm sorry, that was very bad. I still think about
- 14:07that too. to this day. This is the perfect opportunity
- 14:09to apologize to Ruby for that. No apology needed.
- 14:12But if we ask why, the reason my response for
- 14:15why was because I was promised I would not have
- 14:20to change my classroom. By someone very disingenuous.
- 14:28Who we've spoken already about. And Ruby didn't
- 14:30know the rules, and so I was asking Ruby to just
- 14:34wait. until we got a real direct answer. Like
- 14:37I had no problem changing, but I wanted to know
- 14:38for sure. But yeah. But I have to say to Ruby's
- 14:43credit, such a positive person and like you did
- 14:48not give up on just being nice to me. Yeah, it
- 14:52worked. Look at us now. Started a podcast together.
- 14:58I have found over the years that some of the
- 15:00people I have the biggest rub with at first.
- 15:03Can be my biggest? Heroes in some ways and even
- 15:09my like best co -workers There's some of the
- 15:12worst people that I've actually gone and like
- 15:15to go to work and people go don't work for them
- 15:17or stay away from them the thumbs and my favorites
- 15:22because they're like you Luigi they say what
- 15:24they mean mean what they say and They're authentic
- 15:30but I have to add like you said What you felt
- 15:35but you didn't say anything malicious Well, that's
- 15:39good. Yeah, I don't remember it exactly but and
- 15:43I think that that's the thing that Made everything.
- 15:47Okay, so it was like, okay, we're both obviously
- 15:50understers That's true and that With it in different
- 15:57ways, but yeah back to the question it were you
- 16:00were you? getting in touch with your higher self
- 16:03in that situation? Well, because I always take
- 16:07that kind of person as being bad. So now, you
- 16:12know, Diane's talking about the higher self,
- 16:14and so I'm thinking, okay, maybe I'm not actually
- 16:17bad, but maybe there's someone more sinister
- 16:20trying to control me and making me believe this
- 16:23idea of being direct. He's trying to blame us.
- 16:28I'm telling people how it is. But to me, the
- 16:30higher self then, because it ignores ego, it
- 16:34sounds more offensive, or it is more offensive.
- 16:40Or maybe it's that people don't know how to accept
- 16:44and face the things they do that perhaps are
- 16:48good. Okay, so that's your ego that doesn't want
- 16:52to face... The stuff and that's what I'm saying.
- 16:55Like, do you know when you meet someone or you
- 16:59know how you meet someone and You don't know
- 17:03why they're being edgy and weird and like what's
- 17:07your problem like But if you look behind it,
- 17:11it's really because their ego knows They themselves
- 17:18know like they may be being dishonest And their
- 17:22higher self makes it really uncomfortable because
- 17:24you're at your higher self. Your conscience is
- 17:29like you know you're lying right like you know
- 17:31you and so that makes us edgy right like when
- 17:34we carry around things that we haven't gotten
- 17:37out of a shot or we even all of us have told
- 17:40an untruth at some point in our lives and typically
- 17:44authentic people really like. Don't like to be
- 17:48that way. We'll feel it like you really like
- 17:50and you'll do something about that Right and
- 17:53authentic people just ignore that and so they
- 17:56ride on their ego. Yeah This is this is so poignant
- 18:00for us. I think Yeah, well and I will tell you
- 18:05that sort of how I So that's me picking up energy
- 18:09probably because I pick up like before I meet
- 18:11with my clients I'll often pick up like their
- 18:14stuff I don't necessarily know I'll just kind
- 18:18of make notes so I'm probably picking up on some
- 18:20of your stuff and that just happens universe
- 18:24wants me to talk about it maybe or I'm just picking
- 18:26it up and giving it back to you so I okay I have
- 18:32I have two questions now the first one is related
- 18:34to ego and and the higher self I've been speaking
- 18:39to my therapist a lot she is hyper excited about
- 18:44this episode. Oh, we've been speaking about it
- 18:47for three weeks now. Yeah, it's come up in every
- 18:53session, if I remember. Anyway, the bottom line
- 18:57is, I'm transgender. So what is, from your perspective,
- 19:06what is the... difference between like ego and
- 19:10where does a higher self and how do those two
- 19:12come together because obviously like from my
- 19:15discussions with my therapist My higher self
- 19:18must be a she right she's she's there and The
- 19:26ego has been molded by society in many ways and
- 19:31that's why I was presenting as the wrong gender
- 19:37for 35 years. Even though deep within myself,
- 19:40I knew that that's not what I was or wanted to
- 19:44be. Okay. So, it just so happens that I won't
- 19:49use names, but I have a client who has had someone
- 19:56in their lives that was transgender. And we worked
- 19:59through this. So, and they've passed. their spouse
- 20:05passed, and so we connect to them. And when we
- 20:10connect, what's really interesting, so the first
- 20:13time I did a reading, I did not know that her
- 20:17spouse was transgender. I had no idea. But I
- 20:20kept picking up on two people and I saw it as
- 20:23a V. So I kept feeling two energies, but they
- 20:27were connected like at a route like this. And
- 20:30I didn't understand. And so I kept feeling this
- 20:32female. I kept feeling this male. So we go through
- 20:36it a little bit. And it's usually about halfway
- 20:38through where I'll do like, OK, here's a bunch
- 20:40of information now. How does this make sense?
- 20:43And then we kind of work through it. And then
- 20:48she said, my spouse was transgender. And that
- 20:56was the story. So now. when we work together,
- 21:00I will have one or the other or both of them
- 21:04show up. And because I sometimes spirit will
- 21:08come to me like a week or so before my client.
- 21:13And I will pick up one or the other of them or
- 21:16both, like I said. And they are two separate
- 21:21spirits. And so we've we've kind of. because
- 21:28nobody really knows and my client is also a in
- 21:34the psychiatric type world and so she's in the
- 21:38counseling type world and so we kind of walked
- 21:42through it with Breaking down asking a lot of
- 21:46questions of spirit kind of it's a process. It
- 21:50feels like what happened is If I can remember
- 21:55correctly it was we had two souls who were connected
- 21:58to each other who wanted to come through and
- 22:02it was almost like one beat the other and they
- 22:06but they were both there and it was it's it's
- 22:09a very interesting um because I personally to
- 22:13be honest I think it may be different for everyone
- 22:17because we're all different as like a fingerprint
- 22:20right and every we all have there's so many different
- 22:23things when I do readings that come through that
- 22:27Show me every single time that there is no right
- 22:33or wrong answers like things are as they are
- 22:37and so I don't know if I'm really answering a
- 22:40question, but I'm trying to give you like kind
- 22:42of an understanding of it I don't know to be
- 22:45honest because everything is always different
- 22:48with every situation every client I think you
- 22:50answered my question perfectly. I don't know
- 22:53good no nuts Okay. I did have another question
- 23:02that I forgot completely. It was too... Your
- 23:07answer was too good. Yeah. Well, I hope it helps.
- 23:11I mean, it was... I'm going to be honest with
- 23:15that situation was my very first experience in
- 23:19working with transgender anyone. And it... And
- 23:26I didn't work with them on this side. I worked
- 23:31with them on that side. And so it's the most
- 23:37honorable. I've never felt more honorable or
- 23:41special or seen, not because it's about me, but
- 23:45it was such an honor to be able to meet these
- 23:48people and for them to teach me. So much and
- 23:53they continue to do so and so I'm glad you asked
- 23:57that question and gave me an opportunity to talk
- 23:59about them because they are very important in
- 24:02my life today because She's still a client. She's
- 24:06also becoming kind of a friend and to have the
- 24:11honor of meeting them and understanding their
- 24:14story and Challenges is truly an honor to do
- 24:18that. Well, thank you for asking that Thank you
- 24:22for answering in such sincerity and depth, for
- 24:25sure. I think that one of the things missing
- 24:30right now, especially in American media, is just
- 24:34perspective and humanization of us. Because there's
- 24:39so much demonization, it's crazy. And I'm sorry
- 24:43and I want to just say that I want to put this
- 24:45out there because I want you to know No, it's
- 24:49important that it be sad. I want you to understand
- 24:52and I know you do but I want you to hear There's
- 24:58so many of us who love you guys there really
- 25:00is and then we're all rooting and and we're stuck
- 25:04it's like But as an intuitive and stuff, I absolutely
- 25:08cannot, like, engage in any of the news and stuff
- 25:11because it eats me up. Like, I feel all the stuff.
- 25:17And when I lived in Florida, it was even worse,
- 25:21like, because I lived in what you're seeing happening
- 25:24in America was actually happening in Florida,
- 25:27starting in about, well, it's been going on,
- 25:29but it really amped up in 2016, which is about
- 25:33the time I moved there. And so the hatred and
- 25:37angst and stuff that's going on in the country
- 25:40is really what Florida was about. And it took
- 25:42me down. Like the energy in Florida is like,
- 25:47what I found is I can even feel the energy of
- 25:50the founders. And so there's so much hate in
- 25:54the founders of Florida. I could feel it. I used
- 26:00to do readings at the shop and every time I went,
- 26:04I could feel like it was, I would cry. I had
- 26:08to quit working at that shop because it was so,
- 26:12the energy just felt very repressive, oppressive.
- 26:17And I learned through doing some research that
- 26:22building was directly across the street from
- 26:24railroad tracks. Well, guess what? That was a
- 26:28slave. trading location. I felt all of that hate.
- 26:33And it's still in the ground. I mean, it's still
- 26:36energetically in the state. It's just where it
- 26:38is. So I want to just say on behalf of all of
- 26:44us good Americans who love everyone, I'm so sorry
- 26:49that that's spreading around the world. But I
- 26:55will also say I wanna put this out there because
- 26:58I've seen this since 19. I'm doing readings with
- 27:04people. Sometimes what comes up is kind of world
- 27:07views. Sometimes I'll start getting downloads
- 27:09of what's kind of going on. I want you guys to
- 27:12know the world is evolving and it's evolving
- 27:15to an amazing place. But in order to get there,
- 27:19it's like cleaning a house, right? It looks like
- 27:22shit before it looks beautiful. So. America is
- 27:27a young country, and it has to go through what
- 27:31other established, older countries have had to
- 27:34go through to get good things established and
- 27:38take care of their people. And talking about
- 27:41egos, right? We were established by egomaniacs.
- 27:47So our founding fathers were gross. It takes
- 27:51time to detox that. it takes time for people,
- 27:56human beings, to really see what they have to
- 28:01be hit in the face sometimes with it. And what's
- 28:03happening, and my perspective, and I've been
- 28:05watching it, we're going through this evolution
- 28:08so people start to really understand that they're
- 28:11human, and they start to see each other as human
- 28:13again, and we start to get to the good stuff.
- 28:17But... Nobody knows good unless they know bad.
- 28:21And so unfortunately, what is happening I am
- 28:25seeing though. Unfortunately, there's going to
- 28:27be bad. But the people who what I'm seeing, people
- 28:32who have good intentions and are trying to do
- 28:34good in this world and give out good energy and
- 28:37uplift others. It's a weird vibe. They're in
- 28:40a totally different time. Things are going well.
- 28:44Things are like, maybe they're going through
- 28:46difficult shifts, but yet they're coming out
- 28:48of it and they're, they're seeing good things
- 28:51happen. And so what is going on is I feel like
- 28:56the heavy energy is just going to be getting
- 28:58flushed and it has to be, we have it all over
- 29:01the world. And so all of that has to get taken
- 29:05care of at some point. And so I feel like as
- 29:08ugly as all this is. it's gonna be amazing on
- 29:12the other side. And when I say other side, I
- 29:15always keep hearing like two, three years. So
- 29:17yeah, it's gonna be difficult, but we will get
- 29:21through this. And the US will be loved again.
- 29:25And we will give love again. Better than ever.
- 29:28That sounds promising. Sorry, I get rolling on
- 29:32energies. Hey, I believe it. Yeah. Two to three
- 29:37years. I'm excited. You have a question? I do.
- 29:42Well, I have a number of questions. I'm just
- 29:46thinking which one's better to lead into. I think
- 29:50both can go off on tangent. So I'll just think
- 29:51about this. So Diane, before you mention, really
- 29:56briefly, just like trusting your gut. And this
- 30:00is something people hear all the time. And I
- 30:02think a lot of people want to trust their gut.
- 30:04I would love to be so in tune with myself that
- 30:06I would know how. to listen to my gut. So I guess
- 30:11my question is, you know, how can you trust your
- 30:15gut and how do you not confuse it for your ego?
- 30:20This is a skill I would like to have. So in all
- 30:23that you said is and I said is the word trust,
- 30:28right? Trust is the big word. So the way I work
- 30:33with my clients on doing this, it's sort of a
- 30:38It's a story how do I must describe it because
- 30:41it's kind of a big question actually But the
- 30:44way I kind of think I'll describe it as I work
- 30:47with my clients so that you can I can give you
- 30:50a little understanding of how it might work that
- 30:52way so with a client what I'll do is in teaching
- 30:57them to hear and understand themselves is they
- 31:01will come to me they keep their journals like
- 31:03and We'll talk about the things that they were
- 31:06struggling with then we'll lean in on the spiritual
- 31:09energy side and I will ask them how they like
- 31:16intuitively felt about something and this is
- 31:19why I can say ego gets in the way because everything
- 31:22I'm saying is that stuff I made up it's all experienced
- 31:25and it's always been a wow factor even like me
- 31:27I'm like wow so what happens is I'll start asking
- 31:31the questions about what but how do you really
- 31:34feel and in a safe place people will start to
- 31:38talk about that. And then they realize, oh, I
- 31:41led with my ego, fear. And I can see that I was
- 31:47hearing that that was true, because I will. What
- 31:49will happen, Luigi? It's hard to tell and explain
- 31:53it. It's like what will happen is I will feel
- 31:55the energy and I'll see your story and I'll see
- 31:58what's really the case. And so like nobody can
- 32:01bullshit me. You can't sit and lie to me. So
- 32:03because I can see it, I can feel it. It's very
- 32:05uncomfortable. So I will call people out because
- 32:08I have to because I have to move the energy.
- 32:11So that's how I do it is I can feel what the
- 32:14story is. I can see it like maybe not exact but
- 32:16I can get the points and then I'll say this is
- 32:21it and then usually they'll admit like yeah I
- 32:23didn't think that that it was coming through
- 32:25or I did hear that and okay next time so then
- 32:28I'll say okay next time whenever you feel this
- 32:32way think about how your body was feeling And
- 32:35when you get that sensation, that's a red flag.
- 32:38And they go, Oh, okay. So then the next time,
- 32:41cause you always have these little things with
- 32:42people that might hit you in the top of the gut,
- 32:45you know, that feeling where here's a big one.
- 32:48Here's a big one. The feeling of when somebody
- 32:53is telling you something and you almost feel
- 32:55like the best way I can say is like trapped,
- 32:58but you know, at the top of your guts, you almost
- 32:59like, you want to scream no, or you're like,
- 33:02that's not true. Or like this weird. Hard to
- 33:06describe That is the red flag going something's
- 33:11off or you do need to speak up You're right because
- 33:16every time I've ignored it And I'm sure and this
- 33:20is what I also what I tell my clients Anytime
- 33:23something like happens where you knew better
- 33:26like damn I knew that was gonna happen Go back
- 33:28and write about it or look at your notes and
- 33:30think about where did I miss that? So that next
- 33:33time you don't And you will, we're all human,
- 33:36it's gonna happen. But it does help if you, the
- 33:40trust factor is huge. And I'll tell you, earlier
- 33:46this year, my husband was, so I've left corporate.
- 33:51And so this is the work I do, but we live on
- 33:55two incomes. And he had to leave his job for
- 33:59another job, fell through, so he was unemployed
- 34:01for six months. That's when I had to lean heavy,
- 34:05heavier than ever into faith and trusting universe
- 34:09that everything's gonna work out and trusting
- 34:11my intuition. And that's what we're getting,
- 34:16right? And so every day I would write about my
- 34:19fears, and as I wrote, I would ask for guidance.
- 34:23I would just ask, and things would just start
- 34:25coming through. Now at first, for me, I know
- 34:29I can trust it, but at the beginning, you don't
- 34:34know that. So all you can do is kind of keep
- 34:36a record so you can see patterns, and patterns
- 34:40tell stories. Does that help? Yeah, you said
- 34:42a lot of interesting things. It comes out so
- 34:46I know that's okay one thing I think about when
- 34:51I think of Trusting your gut for me. I'm always
- 34:55I guess my problem or my mistake is always assuming
- 34:58the trusting your gut thing is positive in as
- 35:03much as your gut is supposed to feel a certain
- 35:08way and in like a good way and that's how you
- 35:12know the answer never If your gut's feeling a
- 35:15bad way, that can also be an indication of, let's
- 35:19say, not to do something. Yeah, yeah, it's a
- 35:22huge... It's always been if the gut, if it feels
- 35:27bad, you know, something's off. I go the other
- 35:30way. When I feel bad, as like a person who's
- 35:33anxious, I'm neurotic, you know that. So when
- 35:37I'm always anxious, I don't think it's my gut.
- 35:41I think, oh, I'm just anxious. It's because I'm
- 35:44anxious and that's, it's not my gut. I can't
- 35:47trust my gut because I'm anxious. Right. You're
- 35:50right, but you're anxious for a reason. Yeah,
- 35:54that's true. Then you do the writing, right?
- 35:57You write down all those things. And you're anxious
- 36:00because you're carrying it all up in here. There's
- 36:04a reason you're anxious, but in this discussion,
- 36:08we carry all... If you carry everything in your
- 36:12brain, think about how hard your brain is constantly,
- 36:14because you're moving all that response in your
- 36:19brain all the time. How exhausting. No wonder
- 36:21you're anxious. So if you write it down, I mean,
- 36:24trust me, I've got clients that are like, tell
- 36:26me to journal, damn straight. I have something
- 36:29to say on this. I know journaling is good, but
- 36:32I still struggle with doing it. Oh, I know. Yeah,
- 36:37I did, but it's a process. I still have mild
- 36:43dyslexia, but you've watched me write. I haven't
- 36:47made a single mistake where I had to erase something.
- 36:51I didn't. And it used to happen like every second
- 36:54or third word because I was so anxious because
- 36:57all of my mental, like, bandwidth, there's a
- 37:02clicking, there's a clicking sound. I hear it,
- 37:05but don't worry about it. Okay. Doesn't matter.
- 37:07All of my mental bandwidth was being taken by
- 37:12performing the male gender. I was constantly
- 37:19anxious. I was constantly making spelling errors.
- 37:22I wasn't... I've wanted to start a podcast since
- 37:27I knew what podcasts were. And I've never been
- 37:30able to come out as transgender one month later,
- 37:34boom, podcast. Yes. Yes When you release the
- 37:39energy when you like be free it be you that's
- 37:43the authentic thing that's why authenticity is
- 37:46so important and that's why I can feel because
- 37:50I Can feel people's inauthenticity if they're
- 37:53lying and stuff because it is it's an energy
- 37:56that you have to actually work to keep You don't
- 38:00have to work to be authentic to be real to be
- 38:02real, right? so If you're working hard, you might,
- 38:07you have all that kind of vibe. I mean, if you
- 38:10think science, right? We're built, we're made
- 38:14molecular, so we're all these like little molecular
- 38:16pieces, right? And so it's energy and it's all
- 38:20vibrating. And the only difference, if you think
- 38:23about spirit versus us, is that we're vibrating
- 38:26more heavier because we're more compact. So if
- 38:31that's a vibrational thing, and these thoughts
- 38:34or vibrations, if you're carrying around all
- 38:38these heavy thoughts, then you're going to be
- 38:41anxious. And I don't even know, spiritually,
- 38:48if that would be the word. Anxiety is more of
- 38:51it's more just like you're working so hard to
- 38:56keep it all in. Yeah, I think it's like when
- 38:59we try to... Really make it really reductionist
- 39:05when you try to control your future And you have
- 39:09like a perfectionist tendency then you get a
- 39:12lot of anxiety because you have expectations
- 39:13of how you want things to be and Sometimes you
- 39:16can't have both and you have to make a choice
- 39:18and And it sucks Because you're not gonna get
- 39:23what you want exactly and that's what causes
- 39:25anxiety. Is this reflection? What do you mean?
- 39:29I'm just tired. Well, I'm yeah, it could be I'm
- 39:33totally, again, super neurotic. You know that.
- 39:36I'm always overthinking things. I don't know
- 39:38if you've seen the picture on my fridge. It's
- 39:40literally a little cat, and it says overthinking.
- 39:42My friend got it for me as a joke. I don't think
- 39:45it was a joke. Well, no, of course it's not a
- 39:49joke. It's true. What if you played the What
- 39:54If game? It is in there. What if I played the
- 39:57What If game? I mean, I could play it, sure.
- 40:00Know I think I know what you're talking about
- 40:02wrote like in my sub stack I had this whole thing
- 40:05about and I went through it on my podcast. So
- 40:08what if can get you out of the anxiety? right,
- 40:14so Your anxiety is your worst -case scenarios
- 40:17really is what we usually do like we're worrying
- 40:20about. Yeah. Yeah, right So then right question
- 40:23is so what if that happens? What's my backup
- 40:27plan? or What's really going to happen? Well,
- 40:32I won't be able to do that for two weeks or whatever
- 40:34it is, right? Yeah. Well, then, yeah, can I live
- 40:37with that? Yeah, I can live with that. Actually,
- 40:40that's not so scary. It's just you have so many
- 40:42of them in your brain. But if you write them
- 40:44down and you go, what if you start to see something,
- 40:48it's an amazing why and what if are my two like.
- 40:53Favorite kind of terms, it's words, it's just
- 40:55sort of one of those things that seem to help.
- 40:59Break it down. Yeah I think too just to add to
- 41:03the Gut thing you said something also I think
- 41:07very insightful. I never really thought about
- 41:08you said we get we have trouble trusting our
- 41:12gut because Like we're not in a safe place so
- 41:18to me that's really interesting because if you're
- 41:21never in a safe place How can you ever learn?
- 41:25to really you know listen to your gut and be
- 41:27attuned because You can't remove yourself from
- 41:30that safe place or that place that isn't safe
- 41:32rather But you might just be stuck there that
- 41:35just might be your circumstances Okay, when I
- 41:39talk safe place that's where we are at right
- 41:42now and Maybe not physical it well it kind of
- 41:48is but it's more about Safe place to talk it
- 41:51through or that sort of thing. So like with my
- 41:53clients so For whatever reason i'm not against
- 41:57therapy i think therapy is an amazing thing i
- 41:59go through it but spiritual advisors have a different
- 42:02role. And so for whatever reason i will have
- 42:06people come to me. I'm to break through some
- 42:09blocks or find blocks that they are struggling
- 42:12to explain to their therapist because i can pick
- 42:15up on the energy. and so then i can almost tell
- 42:18you like what it is that you're struggling with
- 42:21because i can see the block you can't because
- 42:23your head's spinning so fast about all the things
- 42:26and so in a safe place i mean which is what we
- 42:33provide then we can talk about those things.
- 42:36And then you go, oh, okay. And then you might
- 42:39go back to your therapist and say, these are
- 42:41what I'm finding in my box. Now what's my strategies
- 42:45to work through those? Does that make sense?
- 42:50Yeah. Yeah, no, it makes perfect sense. Sorry.
- 42:55A lot of what I say is both experience, but then
- 42:58I'm also feeling energy. And so it will go, sometimes
- 43:02it'll just go. I think that when we spoke before
- 43:07on the foundry, I mentioned this book called
- 43:10the Holy Language, Power of Holy Language. It's
- 43:13not a Christian, it sounds a religious book,
- 43:16but it's not. It's exactly about this spirituality,
- 43:19connecting with your higher self and understanding
- 43:21it. Like the concept of Ubuntu really comes into
- 43:25it. Ubuntu is like the African philosophy I am
- 43:28because of who we are. Yeah, and I will say and
- 43:35I think Ruby you and I talked touched on that
- 43:38too when we talked the first time as There is
- 43:41a difference between religion and spirituality
- 43:43So religion is a man thing. That's a man -made
- 43:48thing a human thing Well, it is and then because
- 43:52it's written by humans as I did understood, but
- 43:57it's still been created and written by man Right.
- 44:03And so we can translate wrong. So, and there's
- 44:07an ego driven behind the creation of these things.
- 44:12And I'll tell you the first time, um, and I'm
- 44:15not against religion as long as it's for the
- 44:17greater good and taking care of people and all
- 44:20the things. However, what I experienced, um,
- 44:25My personality always ends up putting me in some
- 44:27sort of a leadership position. And so when I
- 44:30would go to churches, somehow I'd end up in the
- 44:32administrative team. And in order to become part
- 44:38of this one church's administrative team, I had
- 44:41to go through this, like how we became this religion
- 44:44class. And what I found out was, well, we're
- 44:50this religion because the founder of the religion
- 44:55didn't like what that religion did. So he took
- 44:59off and started this religion. And that's when
- 45:01it went to me like, so this isn't even like,
- 45:06this isn't godly, this is humanly. This is, you
- 45:10guys made this. And so anytime you're controlling
- 45:15people with something, it is not. Godly spiritually
- 45:21universal higher power. It's human and so spirituality
- 45:27is what is uplifting light teaches us things
- 45:31like gets us connected to being our true selves
- 45:36it feels good when you If you and I have gone
- 45:40to a church where the pastor was extremely spiritual
- 45:43and when I left I felt lifted and I could get
- 45:47through my week because of her messaging. But
- 45:50I've also been to a lot of churches where you
- 45:53are damned if you don't do this and you're hell
- 45:56and brimstone and all the bullshit. That's fear
- 46:00control. That is not spiritual. So that's why
- 46:05I wanted to clarify the difference because religion
- 46:08can be spiritual, but spirituality is not religious.
- 46:14Yeah. I think that both Luigi and I are very,
- 46:18very aware of that. Yeah, any other questions?
- 46:22Yeah, I can go on. Because we have to, I think
- 46:25we have to wrap up this part of the podcast.
- 46:28Otherwise we're going to go for three hours.
- 46:29You can ask one more question. Okay. Okay. So
- 46:33you mentioned you were in, I don't know where
- 46:38it was. Somewhere, was it in Florida? Anyway,
- 46:40there was a slave trading ground and you sensed
- 46:42the like energy. The vibration so I actually
- 46:47wanted to ask you about the concept of everything
- 46:49having a resonance So, you know we can interpret
- 46:54this in a few ways in like the physical or scientific
- 46:57sense It's certain frequencies can cause vibrations
- 47:01and objects but then in like a metaphysical or
- 47:03philosophical Sense it's the idea that again
- 47:07everything has a resonance and like a kind of
- 47:11vibrational frequency My one my one friend really
- 47:16like believes in this hit him and his wife went
- 47:18to Egypt and They went into just a random store
- 47:23I guess wherever all the tourists go and they
- 47:26they had him and his wife hold A blue lotus.
- 47:31I think that's what he told me it was And they
- 47:35just said just hold it and just wait and do you
- 47:39And he asked both of them do you feel anything
- 47:41and his wife's she said, no, I don't feel anything,
- 47:45and he's still holding it, and then the shopkeeper
- 47:48started to tell them both, like, it should feel
- 47:52like there are little ants going up your arm,
- 47:55and like, whatever, he feels them. And then my
- 47:57friend tells me this story, like, his face was
- 48:00like white as a sheet, because he couldn't believe
- 48:03what the shopkeeper was telling was happening
- 48:06to him, and all his wife was thinking was, I'm
- 48:11dead inside because I couldn't feel whatever
- 48:15this flower was doing to me. And he said, and
- 48:19I heard the story and I kind of went, oh, interesting,
- 48:21but he said, no, everything has a resonance.
- 48:24I like the idea and I want to believe that, but
- 48:27like, I don't know, what does that mean to have,
- 48:29if everything has resonance? How does it affect
- 48:33that? Go to science, go to science. That's it,
- 48:39it's science. It may be we may be talking spiritual
- 48:42stuff But spirituality is it just really connecting
- 48:46with energy and a higher source and believing
- 48:49in something higher bigger than you, right? But
- 48:52when I yeah with energy, that's what we're talking
- 48:54about And so it's it is exactly that what it
- 48:58is. I mean cuz right these are This isn't truly
- 49:03solid if we break it right down, right? It's
- 49:07the same thing the vibrate absolutely vibrations
- 49:10effect and what I say in terms of and I laughed
- 49:14when you said she feels like she's might be dead
- 49:16inside no no no she has has a whole lot going
- 49:19on and she probably wasn't connecting to the
- 49:22idea of the same where he might have been looking
- 49:25at it like yeah I really want to do this and
- 49:27so he opened his energy he allowed We can block
- 49:32it too because I've I can literally like to have
- 49:35someone sit in front of me and want say they
- 49:37want a reading But I can't get anything and the
- 49:40reason I can't is because they don't really want
- 49:42to know and they'll admit that like well I didn't
- 49:44really want to hear what you had to say. I just
- 49:46came because I thought I did Well, I can't work
- 49:49with you because you're blocking my energy. I
- 49:51can't pick anything up So it's energy. Do you
- 49:55go when they yeah, do you think when they say
- 49:57things like that? They're just trying to Like
- 50:01disqualify the experience because they they couldn't
- 50:04Like get a good reading So kind of like cognitive
- 50:09dissonance like all I didn't want it anyway just
- 50:11to make themselves feel better. Yeah, it is It's
- 50:15totally yeah, because they're afraid of what's
- 50:17to say I've had Off time I had I know two or
- 50:21three clients that did that to me and because
- 50:25I provided a safe space by just allowing them
- 50:29to be that way for a few minutes and just, you
- 50:32know, so what are you here for? Kind of just
- 50:34that safe place. They finally would admit that,
- 50:39well, I was sort of afraid. I went to this person
- 50:44or that kind of service and I was told to try
- 50:46this. I didn't know what you were going to tell
- 50:48me. I've heard some horror stories about people
- 50:52will be told that you have dark entities attached
- 50:54to you and all of these. things and so it's scary
- 50:58for people but again that's not spirituality
- 51:01that's ego driven excuse my french bullshit and
- 51:06and i'll challenge anybody to that i do not believe
- 51:10in the do i believe in dark heavy thoughts that
- 51:16come to mind but i do not believe that an entity
- 51:20can attach to you and be there it's had any a
- 51:25client tell me that and in the end I'll find
- 51:28out through doing energy reading that what they
- 51:33feared was somebody coming after them was actually
- 51:36maybe an uncle for time like who's past you know
- 51:40great great great uncle who's coming to warn
- 51:43you about something that they're actually your
- 51:46guardian angel they're watching over you and
- 51:49they're warning you and In the interest of time,
- 51:52I won't go through the whole story, but there
- 51:54was, I got the whole story and I told the woman
- 51:58and she went, oh my God, that answers all the
- 52:00questions of what was going on in my house. And
- 52:02it was because her husband was up to no good.
- 52:06And every time he was up to no good, uncle so
- 52:10-and -so would come shaking up something, turning
- 52:13off the lights, whatever it was to get her attention.
- 52:17So to kind of go back to what you were asking,
- 52:19It is all vibration. It's all energy. And she
- 52:23probably was... Just to clarify, there's no such...
- 52:29You don't believe there are entities. It's just
- 52:31energy. And people are trying to understand it.
- 52:34So they kind of make it tangible and they call
- 52:37it an entity. Because that's something you can
- 52:39visualize more than something so abstract like
- 52:41energy. Yeah, I think so. Like I've had people
- 52:47say like... the reason they were doing all these
- 52:51things was because this dark entity made them
- 52:54do it. My perspective is this. My perspective
- 53:00is that's heavy energy, that's either you're
- 53:06struggling with mental health, that you really
- 53:09do need to talk to therapists. And I'm not saying
- 53:12they're crazy. What I'm saying is it's just super,
- 53:15like some really harsh life happenings are weighing
- 53:22on them. And because of that, they've turned
- 53:25those things into an avatar of a dark entity.
- 53:32And so I've had them come to me and I'll start
- 53:37talking about it. And like I said, then that's
- 53:40when I realized, no, it's kind of a combination.
- 53:43You're getting someone coming to you to tell
- 53:44you to beware or guide you. but all of these
- 53:50fears and scary traumas and all the things, you're
- 53:54attaching that to... Because sometimes we just
- 53:58need it attached to something, right? And so
- 54:01I kind of call it an avatar. So spirits, yes.
- 54:07Dark entities, no. Evil spirits, also no. No
- 54:11spirit is evil. I don't believe so. I don't believe
- 54:16so. maybe misguided. That's something I can give
- 54:20you. I think it's what we apply to them. Yeah.
- 54:28It reminds me a lot. Okay, I have a question.
- 54:30What is the show that... that relates to mediums,
- 54:37spiritual advisors, and so on. The TV show that
- 54:40you think is the most accurate representation
- 54:42of what you do. Well, I don't watch a lot of
- 54:45TV, but I would say John Edwards is a good one,
- 54:51because he's authentic. He's just this dude that
- 54:56just happens to have this, like the way he came
- 54:59about is as similar as I. And I think he's probably
- 55:07the one I respect the most. There's a guy on
- 55:10YouTube, I can't remember his name, Charlie.
- 55:15I want to hear that. I think you misunderstood
- 55:18my question. I'm talking about like a TV series,
- 55:21fictional TV show with a character. I'm sorry.
- 55:27Okay. So I'm trying to remember the name of the
- 55:30show. ghost maybe ghost whisper with yeah with
- 55:38jennifer love hewitt yeah that's what i was yeah
- 55:42as well that's what that would be the closest
- 55:45i could get yeah probably um just because of
- 55:49the way she got her information for all is like
- 55:53there were there were some it's a show for entertainment
- 55:56obviously there were some dark entities but overwhelmingly
- 56:00it was just spurts Trying to find their way back
- 56:04In a way and sometimes misguided Yeah, and I
- 56:09I've had like my brother -in -law was we lost
- 56:13him in a car accident and my sister was told
- 56:16by somebody That oh he's stuck on the side of
- 56:19the road his spirit stuck there. That's not how
- 56:22it happens. That's just not So he Everyone is
- 56:28on the other side when they leave Cool. That's
- 56:33also comforting. So, resonance, this is your
- 56:39topic, right? Yeah. I fully believe in resonance.
- 56:47I think that it's much harder for us to pick
- 56:50up on. But we are, in essence, the functioning
- 56:55of our personality, ego, higher self, everything.
- 56:59that happens within this body is a function of
- 57:03electromagnetism which is directly affected by
- 57:05the things around it. Yeah, there's that scientific
- 57:09element. Yeah, exactly. I don't know that it's
- 57:15measurable necessarily, but even if it's not,
- 57:19this is where my faith comes in. I think people
- 57:24just don't know how to be in tune with it. It's
- 57:28still such a... like an abstract concept. Like,
- 57:33you know, we can't see radio waves, but we accept
- 57:36them. But it's so hard to really understand this
- 57:40idea of resonance. Maybe it's because we don't
- 57:43have the capacity, not, well, I don't, have the
- 57:46capacity to, you know, see it, hear it, feel
- 57:51it, and use it as a tool. I think what people
- 57:56want, I think what people want, and I think this
- 57:58might be the ego, because I'm learning from Diane,
- 58:03we want power, we want control, kind of like
- 58:05superpowers, and it's bad. And it's not like
- 58:08that. It's much more subtle, I think. Yeah, and
- 58:12I think for me, in terms of reading people's
- 58:16energy, and I believe anyone who really comes
- 58:22from, I don't want to say traumatic lives, but
- 58:24you go through a lot of stuff. And life you and
- 58:28especially if you have anyone who substance abuse
- 58:32or just abuse of any kind. If you're around people
- 58:36like that, you pick up, you're very alert because
- 58:40of their, um, you never know what they're going
- 58:43to do from one minute to the next. Right. And
- 58:45their inconsistency. So you start to kind of
- 58:47pick up on energy and like, okay, I feel like
- 58:51they walked in the house and now I can feel that
- 58:54I. Learned over years to just pick up on that
- 58:58stuff and really lean learn that. Oh when I feel
- 59:02those that person acts like this or is this and
- 59:05so then I I've just started Intuitively just
- 59:11started using it like I wasn't taught. Yes This
- 59:14is all over the years and that's because I've
- 59:16been put in so many different places different
- 59:19jobs and stuff that I've just Been able to collect
- 59:22the ability and then school classes helped me
- 59:26hone it. I believe everybody has this ability.
- 59:30That was your original perspective. Everybody
- 59:33is as intuitive as you are. I believe that too
- 59:37because I told you, I don't know, a couple weeks
- 59:40ago we were out. We were out eating and I told
- 59:43you about, you know, I went to a psychic and
- 59:46he told me the same concept, you know, that like
- 59:49I have this. Are you going to tell that story?
- 59:53What's to tell, really? That's it, I just summarized
- 59:55it. You mean the story about how he predicted
- 59:59meeting you? Yes. And I did not know that, okay.
- 1:00:04Well I went to, like before I, like more than
- 1:00:0710 years ago, maybe 15 years ago, I went to,
- 1:00:11I like going to psychics and mediums back home,
- 1:00:14I like doing that, so I went often. And one of
- 1:00:18them, when I was young, he said, when you're
- 1:00:20older, you're gonna meet a man. He read playing
- 1:00:23cards. And so he chose, it was like, I don't
- 1:00:28know, a queen or a jack something, and he said
- 1:00:31like this one, this is a man you're gonna meet,
- 1:00:33but he doesn't want to be a man. He's got blue
- 1:00:36eyes, he likes to dress as a woman. His name,
- 1:00:40his name, it starts with a J. Don't say that
- 1:00:44name. I won't say that name. But it's Ruby's
- 1:00:49name. Yeah, it's my name. And I went through
- 1:00:52life meeting all these men with J's and having
- 1:00:56the same kinds of appearance and stuff, but I
- 1:01:00was like, oh, is this the guy? But it never really
- 1:01:05kind of fit until Ruby. But aside from that,
- 1:01:10this same medium told me, you have this... Intuition
- 1:01:16everyone has it and they should like hone it
- 1:01:18but he specifically told me I should practice
- 1:01:19it but It was just you know, too overwhelming
- 1:01:23to even consider doing but yeah, that's that's
- 1:01:26what That reminds me of And I mentioned You were
- 1:01:32talking about earlier, how did we about how do
- 1:01:36you know when you like hear your inner voice
- 1:01:41versus ego or something I would think Yeah, so
- 1:01:43my question to you is how do you know it was
- 1:01:46her? I don't really know it's her but I mean
- 1:01:49it everything No, but you do the lines with what
- 1:01:52he said. It's it's so I don't it's perfect versus
- 1:01:56the what? The others you met over a little time.
- 1:02:00Well, because they didn't they didn't do things
- 1:02:03like you know, they didn't address they didn't
- 1:02:05dress as Women they didn't do drag Their their
- 1:02:11beliefs Were different so obviously Ruby's transgender,
- 1:02:15but you know these other people I met you know
- 1:02:18are staunchly against Transgender so you know
- 1:02:23there and so that's why For years I was kind
- 1:02:27of like well could this be the person like there's
- 1:02:30some things that the medium said that aligns
- 1:02:32with that Maybe it's them, but then it just dawned
- 1:02:36on me only recently really Donning on you is
- 1:02:40what I was trying to get to you get you to get
- 1:02:43that moment Excuse me, because that's the feeling
- 1:02:47I'm talking about when you when you connect to
- 1:02:50you like like You may not think of it as that
- 1:02:54but it is that feeling when you Connect to your
- 1:02:59higher self and get the guidance and understand
- 1:03:01like ah It's really cool. And I don't think you
- 1:03:07told anyone before that story, right? I never
- 1:03:10told anybody that. Now that you've told me, it's
- 1:03:12kind of sealed. I think it's over. The prophecy
- 1:03:14is done. Yeah. I think I'm going to still go
- 1:03:17back home and look in all my old little notes
- 1:03:21and find that because I would go to the mediums
- 1:03:24and I would take notes as they're telling me.
- 1:03:26I'll try. I'll see if it still exists. I will.
- 1:03:30You can frame it. Okay. That would be cool. I
- 1:03:33mean what a full circle moment and that's awesome.
- 1:03:37Yeah, true. Yeah, cool I remember the first time
- 1:03:42I actually because I've been crossdressing for
- 1:03:45a very long time But secretly and then I was
- 1:03:51like, okay, it's Halloween And I'm gonna wear
- 1:03:56I'm just gonna wear wig because I don't like
- 1:04:00wearing silly, hella mean costumes. I want my,
- 1:04:05like the thing that drives me always has been,
- 1:04:08how do you do something authentically? And it's
- 1:04:11actually something that held me back from being
- 1:04:15authentic for a long time because I was like,
- 1:04:17if I'm, I don't want to be a parody of a woman.
- 1:04:24That would, that wouldn't be just. like in my
- 1:04:29mind, it needs to be, I don't know how to put
- 1:04:34it into words, an authentic experience, like
- 1:04:38not a parody. And for the first time, so that's
- 1:04:45why I would never wear like a Pikachu costume,
- 1:04:49because I just think it's stupid. But I got this
- 1:04:53like pretty realistic looking wig. And I just
- 1:05:00went to school in my normal school uniform, but
- 1:05:03I took my co -teacher's scarf. And then I was
- 1:05:07a girl. And she said, Oh, dressing in drag. That's
- 1:05:10cool. Did I say that? I don't remember this.
- 1:05:13I don't remember this at all. Was it this last
- 1:05:16year or last last year? The previous year. I
- 1:05:18really don't remember. Did I say it in like kind
- 1:05:21of like a... No, we were already becoming friends.
- 1:05:25Yeah. Well, I would hope I wouldn't say it with
- 1:05:27any kind of... Oh, no, it wasn't. It wasn't the
- 1:05:29mean spirit. Attitude. Yeah, mean spirit. I really
- 1:05:32don't remember that. Maybe that's because for
- 1:05:33me it's just so acceptable and normal. Yeah.
- 1:05:36For me, like, if I was like, okay, cool, I felt...
- 1:05:39I started feeling much more comfortable just
- 1:05:42talking to you. Yeah. Anyway... Yeah, it's a
- 1:05:49nice one, actually. I want to talk about... threshold
- 1:05:56moments. So I think that I actually did a vlog
- 1:06:02about this a couple of days ago. I think everybody
- 1:06:05goes through threshold moments in their lives,
- 1:06:08something that they cannot go back from ever.
- 1:06:11What are your biggest threshold moments do you
- 1:06:16think? Or what if you don't want to answer that
- 1:06:19question? What do you think is a threshold moment
- 1:06:22that people have to go through in order to achieve
- 1:06:25something? That's really tough. Me, I can't go
- 1:06:29back to, I left the business corporate world
- 1:06:35and although that was a career, it was bigger
- 1:06:39than that for me. It was my identity because
- 1:06:42I was doing that since I was 17. So when I left
- 1:06:46that, Um, I literally remember walking out that
- 1:06:51business, that office tour going, I'll never
- 1:06:53come back to this like ever, like the world of
- 1:06:56corporate. I didn't know why I knew that I just
- 1:07:00in my heart of hearts just knew I'll never go
- 1:07:02back to that, that world. Um, so that for me,
- 1:07:06it was a big threshold moment. It has taken time
- 1:07:11though, to accept that threshold moment. So I
- 1:07:14think that's another element of it all. What
- 1:07:17is the thing that happened that made you go,
- 1:07:20I'll never come back to this? Is it just when
- 1:07:22you walked out of the building? No, it was the
- 1:07:2735 plus years of inauthenticity and having to
- 1:07:33live and abide in a certain world, knowing it
- 1:07:37wasn't honest, was hurting people. In order to
- 1:07:44succeed, I would have to be Like more of what
- 1:07:47I didn't want to be. And so, um, yeah, that,
- 1:07:53that, and now to think about going back, which
- 1:07:56I did actually a couple of years ago and had
- 1:07:59an interview lined up and I just couldn't do
- 1:08:03it. My body and everything, the energy with it.
- 1:08:06I was like, nah. Can't go back. Plus I'm so sensitive
- 1:08:11now because of the energy. I feel like I can
- 1:08:13always go back to things. A threshold moment
- 1:08:16for me, something that impacted me greatly, I
- 1:08:19think, was, and this might sound really cliche,
- 1:08:22but the selling of my childhood home. So I really
- 1:08:26didn't want my mother to sell her childhood home.
- 1:08:28I wanted her to stay there forever. Because it
- 1:08:32was just, I guess it was maybe so comfortable.
- 1:08:37In retrospect, I don't think it obviously it
- 1:08:39was a good thing because it really that's what
- 1:08:42pushed me. To go overseas, which sounds really
- 1:08:46strange, but. I think that was finally a good
- 1:08:52excuse to say OK. Time to go because my whole
- 1:08:56family had just like left to the city that we
- 1:08:58were all in at that time. Wow, so there was and
- 1:09:02I just there was no point for me. staying there.
- 1:09:06And I always wanted to work overseas, so I thought,
- 1:09:09okay. I'm making it sound more positive than
- 1:09:12it is. It was pretty dramatic for me. It was
- 1:09:16scary, but yes, I did it. And now, the funny
- 1:09:22thing is all of my family has moved back to the
- 1:09:24same city. So, you know, it all worked out, but
- 1:09:28we still don't, like, our childhood home is not
- 1:09:31our childhood home. My mother has a new home.
- 1:09:34I can still walk on my old street, and I still
- 1:09:37look at my old childhood home. I don't know if
- 1:09:42I envy the people there, but there's definitely
- 1:09:45some kind of, what's the word, I don't know,
- 1:09:47pain. Nostalgia? Yeah, nostalgia, that's good.
- 1:09:48That's a good one for it. So I guess that's the
- 1:09:53threshold moment I can think of. Something over
- 1:09:55your phone. It changed you as a person. It did,
- 1:09:58because I really, like, growing up, I... In my
- 1:10:02hometown, I felt like my peers thought my hometown
- 1:10:05wasn't cool. They wanted to go and see the world
- 1:10:07and be in more cosmopolitan places. But me, I
- 1:10:11thought this is enough. So having to leave it
- 1:10:15was really painful. I was just so used to that
- 1:10:18comfort and I felt safe. It's hard for me to
- 1:10:21relate to. Yeah, I believe it's hard for a lot
- 1:10:23of people to relate to. Like I said, it sounds
- 1:10:25really like... cliche and kind of campy. No,
- 1:10:28I don't think it's cliche or campy at all. I
- 1:10:30have like deep empathy for that. And I wish that
- 1:10:36I could have a threshold moment like that. But
- 1:10:39I never cared about any place that I lived in.
- 1:10:44That's not a bad thing though. I think it is.
- 1:10:46I think it's good because I never felt like this
- 1:10:49is where I belong. Home is where the heart is.
- 1:10:52Yeah, sure. I miss, if I go to South Africa now,
- 1:10:57I miss China. This is my home now. But it's my
- 1:11:03home and so much as the people that I love are
- 1:11:06here. Obviously, I love my family too. But there's
- 1:11:17a disconnect and experience and understanding.
- 1:11:23that I think is absent in South Africa. Like
- 1:11:28this conservative state and culture and very
- 1:11:34kind of structured. It's very limited because
- 1:11:37in South Africa you can't... At 6 p .m. everything
- 1:11:40shuts down. Nobody's on the roads anymore because
- 1:11:43it's not safe. You can't go have a beer anywhere.
- 1:11:47I mean, I don't drink a lot. But when I want
- 1:11:53to, I want to be able to go out at 1 a .m. and
- 1:11:56do that. Why does it matter when you are allowed
- 1:12:00to do anything? Obviously, that's not a threshold
- 1:12:07moment at all. My threshold moment was the one
- 1:12:12that changed my life the most. There are a few
- 1:12:18factors here. and now I'm going to bring this
- 1:12:21all back to being trans. Being one of those people.
- 1:12:25Started cross -dressing during the time of, during
- 1:12:28COVID actually, more and more. Then when we moved
- 1:12:35to this, when I moved to this job, finally all
- 1:12:41of my like financial issues were solved. And
- 1:12:46so no more debt, savings. some expendable cash.
- 1:12:52And I was like, now I can authenticate, I can
- 1:12:56do justice to cross -dressing. Like it's going
- 1:12:59to be good. And I can go through all of these
- 1:13:03tests and make sure that it looks good. And I
- 1:13:06had the best time, but I would not have told
- 1:13:10anybody. I wouldn't have, if somebody said, are
- 1:13:12you transgender? I would be like, no, no, no,
- 1:13:15no way, not me. I was subconsciously looking
- 1:13:19or Yeah, I was conscious of the fact that I was
- 1:13:23doing this but in complete denial of the fact
- 1:13:26that I was doing it walking through pharmacies
- 1:13:30looking for misplaced pill boxes that had high
- 1:13:35levels of estrogen because none of them are RTC
- 1:13:37and then I met a guardian angel on a website
- 1:13:43and I was like I read your story. How did you
- 1:13:48do this? She transitioned during COVID. She's
- 1:13:51British. And she's like, this is someone you
- 1:13:57can contact. And I was able to get a box of pills.
- 1:14:02My threshold moment was going to the delivery
- 1:14:06station, picking up my box, opening it up, and
- 1:14:12taking out a box of bioidentical estrogen and
- 1:14:17it was like a lightning rod moment. Boom. There
- 1:14:20was no way I was gonna put it back ever. It was
- 1:14:24like, this is the thing. If anybody had given
- 1:14:30me that box at any time before in my life, it
- 1:14:33would have been the same thing. That was my threshold
- 1:14:36moment. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And where
- 1:14:40did your threshold moment, so you have answers,
- 1:14:42but it's just a thought process. Where did those
- 1:14:45take us? Look where we are, look what you're
- 1:14:48doing, look who you are. Those threshold moments
- 1:14:52are kind of... Point, very true. Yeah. They're
- 1:14:58like catapults into the future. Embrace your
- 1:15:01threshold moments if you find a moment like that.
- 1:15:05Yeah. But I think there are also threshold concepts.
- 1:15:08What do you mean? Once you start... Being able
- 1:15:13to... It's kind of like the idea of theses ship.
- 1:15:17You can be afraid of changing parts of your personality
- 1:15:20in your life because you're afraid that you will
- 1:15:23lose your life. Yes. Yeah. But once you make
- 1:15:30peace with the idea that your ship is intrinsically
- 1:15:36the same ship as what the captain is on. If you
- 1:15:41take this captain onto another ship, that other
- 1:15:45ship is now the captain's ship. It's still you.
- 1:15:49It's still your ship. It doesn't matter how much
- 1:15:52you change the ship. It's still your life. Is
- 1:15:55that the higher self? I think that the captain
- 1:15:58is the higher self in a way. And the ego is the
- 1:16:02ship. Yeah, could be. I have to break that one
- 1:16:08down. That's big. However you want to do it.
- 1:16:10Okay. I wrote a poem about this. It's called
- 1:16:14The Nameless Ship. It's on my Instagram. You
- 1:16:17can go and check it out. Love it. I love the
- 1:16:20concept. Good analogy. Does the higher self control
- 1:16:24the ego? They're separate and the ego is just
- 1:16:28something that gets in the way. Yeah. To me,
- 1:16:32the ego is the human side. Because you know doesn't
- 1:16:36mean bad doesn't mean like well look at me It's
- 1:16:39it is like like I remember when I did my first
- 1:16:43reading and I felt bad about something and my
- 1:16:47instructor said Get the ego out of the way. So
- 1:16:51it's not and I'm like playing me and that's not
- 1:16:53you go I'm just trying to be nice and she's like
- 1:16:54that's ego and it is it's it's all It's with
- 1:17:00Our higher selves, our higher selves are the
- 1:17:03most honest parts of us. But the ego is the one
- 1:17:06that is kind of the shapeshifter, right? Like
- 1:17:09changes for however and then judges and makes
- 1:17:12all of that. So I don't know. That's just, to
- 1:17:16me, they're just separate, but yet connected.
- 1:17:19Yeah. It makes sense. Yeah. Maybe the ship is
- 1:17:24not the ego. The ship is the life. Maybe the
- 1:17:26captain is the ego and the higher self is the
- 1:17:30orders or the destination. We have to refine
- 1:17:35this. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Well,
- 1:17:41there's a duality there so I think that's the
- 1:17:44thing we need to at least acknowledge between
- 1:17:47higher self and ego. For sure. Are there any
- 1:17:50other questions? No, I'm done. Maybe I'm not.
- 1:17:55I mean, I can always have questions. Well, I
- 1:17:58appreciate you guys allowing me to spend time
- 1:18:01with you guys. I really enjoyed our conversation.
- 1:18:05It's so loose. That's fine. You guys are easy
- 1:18:07to talk to. And I love that you're so open because
- 1:18:10then it allows me to give and share. So thank
- 1:18:14you for doing that. Thank you so much for coming
- 1:18:19on to the podcast. Yeah. Super lovely. I'm always
- 1:18:26I'm always So I don't want to say worried I'll
- 1:18:31say skeptical of our podcast that that like we're
- 1:18:34not gonna have things to talk about but So far
- 1:18:37hasn't happened yet never happened. I don't know
- 1:18:40where Ruby finds everybody, but she delivers.
- 1:18:42I love it This is great My higher self is busy
- 1:18:46scouting while I dream. Yeah, I was really excited
- 1:18:50about that. Diane riser your sub stack is trust
- 1:18:57issues by Diane and your Company is oak and tusk
- 1:19:03guidance where you will take on clients or Spiritual
- 1:19:10advisory help with your skills as a medium and
- 1:19:15an intuitive and path My name is What kind of
- 1:19:23classes do you teach? Teach card reading classes.
- 1:19:27Everything I teach is about using your intuition.
- 1:19:30So I teach, and everything's virtual, but card
- 1:19:36reading. So Oracle or any card that has pictures
- 1:19:40on it really. I don't do the playing cards. My
- 1:19:43mother -in -law used to do that though. So it
- 1:19:45was funny, Luigi, you mentioned that. Yeah, I
- 1:19:49honestly, to me when I saw it. I thought, what
- 1:19:53a strange thing to use playing cards. That's
- 1:19:56a gift. That's a real talent. But so I teach
- 1:20:00card reading, and I also teach what I call intuitive
- 1:20:05class. And so it's about connecting to your intuition.
- 1:20:11And through that, people are often able to find
- 1:20:13that they can do readings, too. And I have people,
- 1:20:16by the end of all classes, they're doing reading.
- 1:20:18That is so cool. I'm going to ask you about your
- 1:20:21mother -in -law reading with cards when I come
- 1:20:24onto your podcast on the 22nd. For sure. Well,
- 1:20:27there won't be much. I never had her do it because
- 1:20:30she did it before I knew that. And she passed.
- 1:20:35So I never got a chance doing this work. I was
- 1:20:39in corporate when she left. I do get her energy
- 1:20:45this way, but I might be able to connect to her
- 1:20:48and get some answers. But yeah, I don't know
- 1:20:52a lot on this side about how that worked with
- 1:20:54her. Okay, I have one last question. It'll be
- 1:20:57quick. So I was talking to Ruby about this earlier
- 1:21:02before the show. We were talking about cards,
- 1:21:06and I was saying, I was showing her, I like...
- 1:21:10card reading and tarot cards and things like
- 1:21:13that. Now, do you think that the card matters?
- 1:21:18Because I know there are some people who think
- 1:21:22like if you read, if your tarot card is not the
- 1:21:26standard tarot card side, let's say, or it's
- 1:21:30not good, it doesn't count. Or do you think you
- 1:21:33can use any, anything, it just depends on your
- 1:21:38intuition and your energy and how you... Attune
- 1:21:40yourself with it and use it as a tool. Yes, so
- 1:21:46Tarot card readers people who are specific to
- 1:21:51tarot like that is a That's that's an intuitive
- 1:21:56thing. But also like that's a skill set like
- 1:21:59that's something they studied and really so There's
- 1:22:03different types of readers all That is a skill
- 1:22:06set. They've used all the above to do but what
- 1:22:10I like someone like myself I it does not matter
- 1:22:14because I I read intuitively so I'll just give
- 1:22:20you a really quick example is Like when I look
- 1:22:23at a card, so let's I Won't get your colorful
- 1:22:27ones Yeah, when you look at a card There's all
- 1:22:33kinds of things on the card, right? But when
- 1:22:36I read, what will happen is certain things will
- 1:22:39pop out to me and those certain things have different
- 1:22:42meanings. So like her butterfly wings, um, depending
- 1:22:46on who's in front of me and what energy I'm picking
- 1:22:49up, that might represent transition. It might
- 1:22:52represent growth. Um, it could different things
- 1:22:57I might pick up on the color. which is different
- 1:23:00chakra colors. I might go, oh, you know, you
- 1:23:02might be feeling something here. Let's dig into
- 1:23:05that. So it's that's how I work. And again, we're
- 1:23:09all different. And what's beautiful, what's so
- 1:23:12beautiful is I've had clients come to me and
- 1:23:14they're funny because they'll be like, so I went
- 1:23:16and saw a different psychic or I went and saw
- 1:23:18a different. Cool, because, yeah, you get different
- 1:23:23perspectives. And honestly, most the ones that
- 1:23:27are authentic readers will often be like the
- 1:23:31messaging will be the same as what I get maybe
- 1:23:33worded different or picked up different but the
- 1:23:35messaging is the messaging your guidance is your
- 1:23:38guidance it's not going to change yeah the delivery
- 1:23:41person might but if they're authentically reading
- 1:23:45then you'll always get pretty much the same information
- 1:23:49so I think it's a yes and no question answer
- 1:23:53to your question That medium I went to a long,
- 1:23:58long time ago that told me about Ruby, not only
- 1:24:01did he read just like playing cards, he also
- 1:24:06had this canister of tongue depressors and he
- 1:24:10drew a picture on each end of the tongue depressor
- 1:24:13and he read that as well. So he made me pick
- 1:24:15a certain number out and he laid another kind
- 1:24:18of card. Yeah, he definitely had his own. The
- 1:24:22message will come through. I have a friend in
- 1:24:25the UK. She makes her own cards Yeah, I have
- 1:24:30a woman that did a reading for me years and years
- 1:24:33ago Who was the one who said I would probably
- 1:24:35be doing this someday. She just used different.
- 1:24:37She had a bag of crystals and She would just
- 1:24:42pull depending on what the crystals were that
- 1:24:45she pulled out for her had different meanings
- 1:24:48and those meanings were, and her reading was
- 1:24:51beautiful. I'm gonna echo, okay. That's still
- 1:24:58here. Ruby disappeared. I'll be back in a second.
- 1:25:02She'll be back in a second. Okay, I think that
- 1:25:04went away. Okay, so that's what that is. So different
- 1:25:09people can read different things based on, it's
- 1:25:11intuitive. So then how can we, develop our intuition
- 1:25:17practices and so like with someone like Taking
- 1:25:22classes like I would love to have a class if
- 1:25:25you'd like to but Through classes and things
- 1:25:30that we do. Here's I'll give you just a few things
- 1:25:33that will help Sitting in a room or wherever
- 1:25:38sitting anywhere and either just observing and
- 1:25:42taking in and And not just watching, but you
- 1:25:46might tell a story and you just kind of pick
- 1:25:48up what's going on, right? So you're picking
- 1:25:51up all the nuances. You might not think it's
- 1:25:54much, but your brain is collecting data. Another
- 1:25:59thing I will do with my client or my students
- 1:26:01is I will have them just sit and feel what they
- 1:26:04feel and write it down. So don't think about
- 1:26:08it. Just feel what you feel. And I'll maybe do
- 1:26:1230 seconds or a minute and then they just write
- 1:26:15it all down. Oftentimes that feeling will connect
- 1:26:19to something else. But what I'm doing is I'm
- 1:26:22having them learn to feel vibrations and the
- 1:26:27minutia of it. And so I would have them go out
- 1:26:31and listen. Listening. You know, like you might
- 1:26:36hear a truck way off in the distance. So listen,
- 1:26:40can you imagine, can you think about where they're
- 1:26:42at and what that road looks like and just kind
- 1:26:44of start collecting data. And it tunes you really
- 1:26:49high. And also like I. people can easily pick
- 1:26:54up on tones of voices and stuff because they
- 1:26:57start, when you tune your ears, it's like accents,
- 1:27:00right? If you talk to somebody with different
- 1:27:02accents, it takes a little bit for your ears
- 1:27:04to tune in and then you can understand them perfectly.
- 1:27:07They can talk as fast as they want because your
- 1:27:10ears are tuned into them. So it's the same thing.
- 1:27:13I teach to tune into it and then every week we
- 1:27:18meet, there's another layer. But it's all about
- 1:27:21just... It's just honing what you already have.
- 1:27:24It's actually an easy job. I'm going to close
- 1:27:27the podcast here. I think it's a great spot.
- 1:27:30I'd like for you just to stay on the line after
- 1:27:33I stop the recording, if that's okay. Just make
- 1:27:36sure everything uploads okay. Diane, thank you
