6. Unlock Your Inner Psychic & Master Energetic Hygiene with Intuitive Christin Bridge · The Woo Report: Everyday Spirituality

• 0:02
  I once went to a psychic on Lincoln Boulevard in Los Angeles.
• 0:05
  Weirdly, that psychic reading is still the very first voice note saved on my phone.
• 0:10
  It's labeled with the date only May 2nd, 2012.
• 0:13
  Here's a clip from it.
• 0:15
  And I even feel a very dark woman that I feel is like some affiliation there they can't trust.
• 0:22
  I get like a Capricorn, but I get like the U of T, maybe a G in her name, but I feel not.
• 0:32
  So trust her.
• 0:33
  And to be always consciously aware, never let your guard down.
• 0:37
  I feel it's in her nature to be dark on the negative.
• 0:42
  For me, this did not land.
• 0:44
  It just maintained the eye rolls I held for the mystic community at large.
• 0:49
  And I'll venture that it's experiences like this that perpetuate the idea that all this woowoo is a bunch of psychobabble B.S., a scam, a party trick.
• 0:58
  Today we have more modern descriptions for a psychic in the spiritual community.
• 1:03
  We often call them intuitive energy healers or life coaches.
• 1:08
  Even ChatGPT doesn't have a great definition for an intuitive.
• 1:11
  It describes them as someone who understand something without conscious reasoning.
• 1:17
  What does that even mean?
• 1:19
  Intuition in general is hard to describe, right?
• 1:21
  Because it's based on instinct that innate knowing we are all born with it's unseen, an unseen energy, and yet we feel it from time to time.
• 1:30
  It's our gut. It's our own knowing.
• 1:33
  If you listen to episode one of this podcast, you heard about the near-death experience that shattered not only my hip socket, but also the very fibers of my being.
• 1:43
  I was cracked so wide open that I was invited to reexamine the conditioning built around what I could and could not see with my eyes.
• 1:51
  Now, that doesn't mean I want to go back to my girl on Lincoln Boulevard, But it also doesn't mean that she isn't able to give others excellent guidance.
• 1:59
  If you lean toward skepticism often it takes a really trusted source to seed a new belief system.
• 2:07
  For me, this was my sister in law, Chris and Bridge, who I've known for almost 20 years, always the chic, most brilliant woman in the room, acting like the older sister she became for me.
• 2:18
  Kristin got me my first job in LA.
• 2:20
  Brought me to my first favorite restaurant, and in turn, I watched in awe because her illustrious career was what Hollywood dreams are made of.
• 2:29
  And then one year after my accident, she sat on my couch and became the person who shaped my spiritual belief system the most.
• 2:38
  where? In a soul family.
• 2:40
  She said we're all souls living this human experience.
• 2:45
  She gently spoke about the unseen in a way that allowed me to find the many pieces of myself, the hidden ones that had scattered and split off after the accident.
• 2:54
  She seeded a shift in my energy, and slowly but surely I began piecing myself back together again.
• 3:05
  Hi, I'm Laura Scarrpati, filmmaker, and woo woo enthusiast here today.
• 3:11
  To cut through the noise, pull back the veil, and cozy up in this space between reality and spirituality.
• 3:18
  Thanks for listening to the woo report.
• 3:23
  Okay.
• 3:24
  Kristen, Hi. You.
• 3:26
  when I describe you to my friends and the people in my orbit, I always say, you have been the person that I've looked up to the most in my adult life.
• 3:36
  So thank you for being here.
• 3:48
  Yes. Thank you.
• 4:03
  Oh my gosh.
• 4:03
  Well, you were.
• 4:04
  You are a top, top get for me over here.
• 4:09
  so this is very exciting.
• 4:10
  when we first met, you were doing PR for New Line Cinema.
• 4:15
  You were traveling around the celebrities and private jets.
• 4:17
  You then went on, moved on to run a high end fashion label.
• 4:24
  Would you call it that?
• 4:25
  yeah. Okay.
• 4:27
  And then. Yes.
• 4:52
  you are where you meant to be now.
• 4:53
  And so How would you describe what it is that you do now for work?
• 5:36
  let's get more into exactly what that means.
• 9:41
  And I'll speak from experience.
• 9:42
  Because I feel like I was your guinea pig.
• 9:44
  Maybe on the beginning of these coaching sessions.
• 9:48
  And what I'll say is, I was having what we like to call dark night of the soul.
• 9:54
  it was post by accident and I was just, I was woken up to spirituality I was drinking the kool aid, and I thought maybe this, my life is going to be charmed.
• 10:05
  Life going forward.
• 10:06
  I am never going to have a hardship again, basically because I am awakened, I am enlightened, and then I just fell into this pit that, you know, I just didn't know what the heck I was doing with my life and I was stuck.
• 10:18
  I was definitely stuck and what you did was so supportive.
• 10:23
  And what you're just saying now with how you basically helped me kind of reframe things that I honestly feel like the effects didn't really start until later, and now I feel like just so much more at peace.
• 10:41
  I feel like you helped pave the way for whatever this reframe was to start, and then it's allowed me sense to be really just to find the peace in every moment.
• 10:57
  Whether it's and I'm not perfect, I'm definitely still like lose my shit at my kids every now and then and like, get annoyed with mad every now and then.
• 11:04
  But like, but it is on such a different scale than it was two years ago, than it was five years ago, than it was ten years ago.
• 11:12
  Like it was just it's all been, it's just it's nice.
• 11:16
  It feels good.
• 11:18
  Highly recommend.
• 11:22
  Yes. It's a real bummer.
• 12:23
  Yeah.
• 12:51
  the point is not to be perfect or to find perfection I love it, aligned and meant for us.
• 13:21
  That's what we want.
• 13:22
  We want to bring all of that in.
• 13:24
  Earlier you talked about spirit, and I just want to roll it back and get to what is your definition of spirit?
• 14:10
  that really lends itself to the question that I'm asking.
• 14:12
  Everyone on this podcast is, what do you think happens when we die?
• 14:17
  Because you just said that our soul lives on.
• 14:19
  So let's just get into it now.
• 14:28
  It's.
• 16:59
  I love that.
• 17:01
  So beautiful.
• 17:02
  I love everyone's answers to this question.
• 17:04
  I feel like it's like you're right.
• 17:06
  Nobody knows.
• 17:07
  But it's going to happen to all of us.
• 17:10
  And I feel like.
• 17:10
  And I'll speak for myself.
• 17:13
  Before I had this accident happen, I didn't think about it at all.
• 17:20
  I didn't think about the fragility of life, and I didn't think about it. I just never I didn't necessarily fear it, but I never thought about it.
• 17:29
  And what I've learned spending a lot of time in hospice is by not thinking about it and not recognizing that there is an end.
• 17:41
  It's harder to relish in the present.
• 17:47
  It's like realizing that this is all fleeting, makes every moment more precious, makes the breeze on your face more precious, makes the beauty around us more precious.
• 17:58
  So anyway, I love this question.
• 17:59
  Thank you for answering it.
• 18:25
  Totally.
• 18:26
  Totally.
• 18:28
  Totally. And.
• 18:30
  But that's the thing.
• 18:31
  That's why, you know, for this podcast, the whole point is to explore the unseen.
• 18:36
  not a scientist and I'm not an expert.
• 18:38
  But I did fly out of my body when I had this accident, and I did have this experience where I separated from my body.
• 18:46
  So if that can happen, then all of these beings and all of the spirits that you're talking about and you're communicating with just makes it seem more plausible to me that there is something like that, because in a society that is, you know, very capitalist and we we work, work, work, can we get our successes?
• 19:11
  I think it takes us out of our natural rhythms and our looking inward for some, some sort of meaning.
• 20:16
  So that's one of the things that when you.
• 20:18
  When you started.
• 20:20
  Really?
• 20:20
  I mean, I feel like you've been coaching me my whole life, but when you started, like, actually talking to me about spirituality on a regular basis, one thing that you said to me was, you know, it was all these kind of soul whispers that I've kept.
• 20:37
  I've kept close.
• 20:38
  One was, look outside, look outside for five minutes, just look outside.
• 20:41
  And I was like, is this pitch serious right now?
• 20:45
  She lets me know, look outside.
• 20:47
  Okay, I can totally do that.
• 20:47
  We got windows.
• 20:50
  Oh, look outside and I'ma try and do that.
• 20:53
  I was like, okay.
• 20:54
  And then it's like it was hard.
• 20:56
  It was hard to do at first.
• 21:00
  and now you'll find me sitting in a stool in my bathtub where I sit most mornings staring at my old oak tree, who I full on have a relationship with, by the way, which is a whole nother topic we need to talk about.
• 21:12
  Like my relationship with trees and trees having souls, but, okay, but let's dive into how can we connect with ourselves.
• 21:24
  And, you know, I've heard you say in one thing, one of the soul whispers that really helped me too, was how many times a day can you reach for your highest self?
• 21:33
  And so what does that mean?
• 21:36
  And how do we do it?
• 21:42
  Let's go buckle up.
• 21:45
  But also let's hope that the internet keeps for us because the guides are.
• 21:49
  If you're about we're about to go.
• 22:35
  And I also love that.
• 22:36
  You know, for the record, you've told me earlier when we were prepping for this podcast that your guides were waking you up in the middle of the night to deliver these messages.
• 22:45
  So let's hear, let's hear what they have to say.
• 23:12
  Oh. Yeah.
• 31:18
  I mean, when you say that, I'm like. Yeah.
• 31:21
  That's why I got run over by a car.
• 31:23
  I mean, maybe it's not.
• 31:25
  Maybe not totally, but.
• 31:27
  But yes.
• 31:27
  Also, like, I feel like I was definitely getting messages that I was ignoring.
• 31:35
  And I when I think back and I know I've said this, but I think back and I had a very turbulent brain.
• 31:41
  I had no peace and, you know, I think I was so friendly and kind and outgoing and all those things.
• 31:48
  But like internally, it was a mess.
• 31:51
  It was a mess in there.
• 31:52
  And yeah, the silence and the stillness.
• 31:56
  And I also think that that's a lot of the reason why people roll their eyes is spirituality, because we are bombarded and that is the norm.
• 32:06
  Like that is the norm to be able to handle at all the hustle culture and getting it all done.
• 32:13
  But, but the stillness is so important.
• 32:17
  It's just, it is it just it's hard to make that a habit when it's not one.
• 32:24
  It's hard to, like, break into it.
• 32:55
  Totally.
• 34:53
  So how.
• 34:54
  How do we do it?
• 34:54
  Like, what are some practical things we can do to tap into our higher self?
• 34:59
  We talked about sitting in stillness, but what are. What?
• 35:02
  What are some things that we can do?
• 35:03
  We're looking outside.
• 35:04
  What else are we doing?
• 35:09
  Okay, let's say that.
• 37:50
  So. What.
• 41:58
  Wow. Wow.
• 42:01
  Wow wow. Just dish it out.
• 42:04
  Just dishing out all the advice here, Chris, I love it.
• 42:08
  I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm going to do that.
• 42:10
  I love it so good.
• 42:14
  all right.
• 42:14
  So that is I feel like that's that's what we can do if we are taking things away.
• 42:21
  If there's anything what's like a step further, if we feel like we're good in that space, we want to take it a step further. What?
• 42:26
  What is what else can we do?
• 47:58
  Sure does.
• 47:59
  I mean, the I this is, you know, just going back to a specific example of when we were trying to make a choice.
• 48:10
  I'm just going to give this example.
• 48:11
  Maybe we won't put it in, but, I'm curious how if this feels like it's the same thing that you're talking about.
• 48:17
  But a couple of years ago, Matt and I were wondering whether or not we should go to an LCD Soundsystem concert.
• 48:25
  Do you remember this?
• 48:28
  We had two young children, and we really wanted to go for our friend's birthday in December.
• 48:33
  And it was it feel like it was still Covid was still kind of a thing.
• 48:38
  It was like 2021, 2022 maybe, I don't know.
• 48:42
  Covid was still around and we had two young kids and it was right before Christmas, right before the holidays, and we both wanted to go, but we both had a feeling like we shouldn't go.
• 48:56
  And so we you, we called you our resident family intuitive and asked what we should do.
• 49:04
  And we we both picked cards.
• 49:06
  We both used an oracle deck and the cards basically said, don't go the cards business.
• 49:13
  So we didn't want to we didn't want to believe it though.
• 49:15
  We were like, we are not going to believe that we're going to conquer sin.
• 49:18
  And you know, you said the same thing about how, you know, we can make the choice and we're just going to have to be okay with whatever happens with that choice.
• 49:26
  So we could go potentially get Covid before the holidays, or we could choose not to go, and that could go before the holidays and we would miss this fun time, but maybe it would be better for our family.
• 49:40
  And that weekend everyone did get Covid and we did not.
• 49:44
  We did not go because we finally listened to the Oracle card.
• 49:48
  So this is like it's very silly, mean, that's the very first world decision that we're faced with. Right?
• 49:52
  But it was it, it it was one that we, we looked for guidance on and we found it.
• 49:58
  And I feel like it was the right one.
• 50:25
  Yeah.
• 51:19
  Oh my gosh.
• 51:20
  Okay, first of all, Kristen, when I first emailed you about what I wanted to talk about, you were like, this feels like three episodes.
• 51:26
  And you're right. Of course, because we are. We're running out of time.
• 51:31
  But a couple things that I want to kind of check off the list for right now, because their top of mind for me.
• 51:38
  So I heard you say trees have souls, and I need you to elaborate, because I really do have a relationship with my oak tree.
• 51:50
  And I just I really need this validation because I'm feeling a little cuckoo cuckoo about it.
• 54:27
  I, I mean, so many, but I.
• 54:31
  Okay, so the tree is this. Allegedly.
• 54:34
  It's the oldest oak tree in Pittsford.
• 54:35
  This is what the realtor told us when we bought this house.
• 54:37
  But, like, who knows if that's true, I don't know.
• 54:39
  It is a big, beautiful oak tree that sits at the base of it sits a creek, a small creek.
• 54:45
  And we're kind of high up when we redid our bathroom, I had this vision of a bench so I could look out at this oak tree.
• 54:53
  But the bench didn't come to fruition because of the way that the room is set up. I couldn't get a bench, so I just had the tub and so I just put the stool in the tub, and I sit on the stool and it's got this little shelf that I have some crystals, and I have a candle, and I light the candle and I have some palo santo, and I just I've been sitting there and I sit there in the mornings, and when I look at this tree and when I have gratitude for this tree, I swear to you, every molecule in my body goes from sitting to standing.
• 55:28
  Is that my vibration rising?
• 55:30
  I don't know, that's like what I feel like.
• 55:32
  Maybe it is, but that's like when I sit there or even when I just look at it like you told me to do years ago, to look outside when I just spend a moment and have gratitude and thank the tree, like, I feel like I feel like this tree is stretching its arms around me and supporting me and holding me up.
• 55:54
  And there's a branch, that mat that was too close to the house that now I'm like, we need to, we need to get detailed.
• 56:01
  Maybe we can do this offline about cutting trees down and like trimming trees, because now I have a lot of a lot of questions around that.
• 56:07
  But there is a branch that he cut off.
• 56:09
  And so it looks like there's an eye.
• 56:11
  It's like there's an eye, a dark eye.
• 56:14
  And I swear I like look into the tree's soul through this. I.
• 56:20
  Like you're saying.
• 56:22
  Yeah, yeah.
• 56:22
  But you know, I'm like, I'm really full blown, like Mama Oak and I really, we I feel like we get deep most days.
• 57:05
  There's plenty of those.
• 57:07
  This is lots of around.
• 57:08
  Yeah.
• 57:58
  Thank you for that.
• 57:59
  You really did me that.
• 58:02
  Oh, my.
• 58:03
  Oh my gosh, I like I feel like I did, but I just, you know, just makes you feel so good when you tell me it's true.
• 58:13
  Yeah.
• 58:14
  Just confirmation.
• 58:15
  Just like, you know, it's like, okay, she's sitting, looking at the tree again.
• 58:19
  It's fine.
• 58:19
  I mean, no, he's fully he's he's on board.
• 58:22
  He's on board.
• 58:23
  But I don't know if he has the same relationship with Bonomo because I do.
• 58:28
  That is true.
• 58:29
  He is very into birds.
• 58:32
  He's very into birds.
• 58:33
  Which is new. New for him.
• 58:36
  Yeah.
• 58:47
  Oh my gosh.
• 58:47
  Well, it's like we've been talking forever and I have a billion more questions for you, so you're going to have to come on.
• 58:53
  And I'm just going to go come on again.
• 58:54
  And I'm just going to tease and I'm going to ask you about coming out of the wood school closet and about all of our timelines and quantum leaping and dimensions and all the things that like, among many other things, that I want to talk about another time.
• 59:11
  Scratched surface.
• 1:00:20
  that feels like a hopeful message to end on.
• 1:00:23
  And before you go for my favorite curator in life, is there anything spiritual that we should know about or like any, supportive tours, a book, something that you're loving now that we should go read or watch or help us gently massage our or, with some love.
• 1:00:55
  Fair, fair.
• 1:01:12
  I love it.
• 1:02:24
  Oh my gosh.
• 1:02:25
  Thank you.
• 1:02:25
  I don't want everyone to hang up.
• 1:02:29
  Want to come over?
• 1:02:33
  I love you so much.
• 1:02:35
  Thank you.
