  SPEAKER_02: You can rewrite your story and you can rewrite your programming.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_02: And my personal experience with that is that it's a recommitment almost every day for me to do that.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_02: Like I am rewriting every day.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_02: My deepest hope is that money never has to be the reason you say no to something.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: If they do not have the resources to expand and get their work out into the world in the way that they want to, now we have just not only limited that person, but we've limited every person that their work could have touched.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Today on awakening, I'm joined by someone who is so special to me, who has dedicated a whole life to helping people to believe that your story matters and that uh what you believe is actually possible and it can change everything in your life.

• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm really excited because today is the day that The Way of the Initiate, which is a book that I'm a co-author of, is being launched.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: And Kate is the publisher of this incredible book.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: So it's really exciting.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome, Kate.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much for having me here.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: I am delighted to have this conversation with you.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you for having me.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, such a pleasure.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: I have I have a plan to ask you a question, and all of a sudden the angels have come in and they said you've got to ask this first.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: So my first question that's coming in is uh, how how did the way of the initiate, the book that I'm a co-author of, how did it birth?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: How did this all happen?
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like, how did Melissa Minnick and you connect and then find all of us?
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And like, I I actually would love to hear the beginning of it.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that is beautiful.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: So Melissa Minnick and I have been great friends for over a decade now.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so uh we initially met under some interesting circumstances and we made the most of them because we found each other in that circumstance.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and we were um together for about four days uh when we first met, and we just had a just created a beautiful, beautiful friendship.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: And then she decided to be a co-author in one of my books after we met.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so that's how she was introduced to the experience of the co-authorship of joining a collective and going through a journey together over a six-month time frame and getting to know co-authors and bringing your story to life in a different way, and then celebrating that journey and so on.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: And she really loved the process so very much.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_02: And over a few years, we would talk about, you know, her bringing, you know, something like this to her community.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and we just always knew that when the time was right, that it would unfold.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: And so she flew out to New York to be on my television show about a year ago.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: And we went to lunch after the show, and we both said, I think it's time.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and so that is, and we we were talking about so many different um creations like during our interview, and then we continued those ideas of creation at lunch, and that was one of them.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: And so we started to put all of these things uh, you know, into the universe, and that's that's how it birthed.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then the way the people came was just so, so beautiful.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: We both were holding really specific intention for the souls that we were looking to create in complete the circle for this book.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and each and every one, it was just so perfect how it aligned.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: And so that's how we got here.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, I could feel it because as I um Melissa reached out to me and invited me, I was like, yes.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then um as I joined the group with everyone, I could feel this connection.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um that I could feel like a golden thread of light connecting us.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: All of our uh uh initiations, all everything that like happened in our lives to help us to remember that we're more than just the human, that we are this incredible infinite light with this energy, with this creative energy, creating this life that we're experiencing ourselves as.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: And and I could feel it weaving throughout the pages, and through I I I could feel everyone else writing their stories, and yeah, it's incredible.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like I've never experienced this before.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: The way that you articulate how it's all woven together is so special because that's exactly what it is.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you you know, because we we went through this, and as uh I am the publisher of the book, but at the same time, what what I really also truly enjoy is the birthing of the stories and and really still insisting, um, you know, as big as the company gets, which I'm so I'm so grateful for all of the growth that we've experienced.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: And you and I have talked about, you know, girth in our business and just beautiful things that have been happening and quantum leaves over these past, you know, several months or so.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: But I still insist on meeting with each author.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: And first and foremost, my my very first question always is what is your intention for writing this story?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: And from that space, I can hold the intention with the author.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: So everything that is created after that, every word that is put onto the page, every outline that is given, and so on and so forth.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's all weaved in based on that initial intention that we set forth together.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: And then we're holding that all the way from the beginning of the idea of the book all the way through until the very end and when it launches out into the world.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: And then, of course, the intention will go out and create that ripple effect, right?
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: And so um I love how you articulate that because it's just so important to me that people do feel that, and then you felt that intertwining within the within the book as well with the co-authors, which is oh, it's just extraordinary.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: I've got goosebumps, even as you you move your hands and speak like this, because I can sense um everyone who who reads the book, so I can feel all of us authors holding hands.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then I feel like every single person who reads it adds their hand to the hands.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I can just feel like because everyone, I feel like all humans have experienced suffering or have experienced like something intense happened in their lives that changed it.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like we've all got this, something's happened, and we've we've shed a huge layer, we've gone through a dark night of the soul, we've expanded, we've like we can all come into our hearts and hold each other's hands and know we're not alone.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like that's what's happening here.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: So this brings me to the question that I I was initially gonna ask first.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Is like, Kate, I really would love to know about your initiation story, like your awakening journey.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: What what opened you and brought you here to this point in your life where you've got this incredible, heartfelt, heart-led, high-frequency publishing company.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share this.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_02: And so you mentioned, you know, just a few moments ago, you know, that we're these beings of light and here, you know, having this human experience.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: And so my story of initiation that I write about in the book is actually the block that I had to accessing that light.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so uh I was how do I say without uh, well, I don't mind giving too much of the story away, even though we certainly do want you to read it in the book.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I was uh born into a family that had just experienced a very traumatic tragedy.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so um my mom had lost her sister very young.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: And then when I came into the world after that, I was named after her, and our souls were very connected, but I never knew this um growing up until you know I started to really unpack like why is there a wall here?
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: I felt like there was always some sort of block or darkness or wall, or like I kept hitting like uh it's an energetic uh experience that I kept on having.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: And so I talk in the book about going to Sedona to do some really deep healing because I understood that this was uh, you know, at an at a soul level that I needed to have a deeper healing experience to understand what this um interaction was between this light and dark that I kept experiencing in my life.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and during this experience that I had in Sedona, it was like, you know, I basically like my soul met her soul, and we had this whole conversation.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: I was brought to this scene in which this tragedy had occurred.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I was in the darkness and I felt the entire thing and I experienced it with her.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I was watching it and experiencing it.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: So my body was there and I could feel it and see it, and yet my soul was uh observing it all, right?
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: And holding the space so that I could understand what was happening from a human level, but also from a divine level.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: And so in this experience, our souls were able to connect and she was able to show me, right?
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like this is the darkness, but you get to choose.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: But your journey is not this, like you do not have to carry this on.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: You're actually here, right?
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: And and I'm here to show you this darkness of what people go through to expand you into a deep level of compassion and expand your space, right, to hold that darkness while continuing to be the light in this world to help people heal at a deeper level.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: And so I was given this whole understanding, whole understanding at a much deeper level.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: And when I left that, my life was never the same.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like it just was ne, I never encountered another interaction the same way.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: I never woke up the same way.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: I just like for every every ounce of my being, um, both in my my physical body and beyond, shifted and changed in that moment.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: And from that place, you know, I operate differently as far as holding um the light in all capacities, but also having the space to hold the healing of other people.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: And I believe that's what stories are as well, and why I do what I do is because the one thing that I hear every author say to me at time and time again is that the one major thing that they did not expect from the book was how cathartic the experience was in writing the story, experiencing the story, but committing to bringing it all the way through with the intention that that will help serve or heal someone else.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: And that was a lot of times people say that's like the last piece of their journey of that story, um, of how cathartic that is that brings them through to the other side.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so that is a little bit about the story that I share within the book and also how I got here.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, and and that darkness, do you still sometimes feel it?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um is it still around, but is it different the way in which you hold it or can can work with it?
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um that's exact my relationship to it is different, right?
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: Where before it felt like, am I picking this up, am I carrying this, am I holding this?
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: Is this my identity?
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: Like, is this mine?
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: Is this the path?
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: Is this the end?
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: Is this, I mean, there were so many different questions.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and now it is just a dichotomy of what experience you want to have and what choice you want to exist in.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so always showing, right?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: The um the dichotomy of the dark, darkness and light are not good or bad, in my opinion.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it is just the experience that you want in the moment.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: So the darkness is is always there, but my relationship to it is very different.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and also darkness can be grounding for me in some ways.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: And then, and the light pull is a pull for me.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so I'm able to tap into the light and in such a deeper way after this experience, and it allows me to expand when that expansion is necessary in my life.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: The light experience, the way that I experience both the light and darkness now is that I'm able to lean into the light and the darkness, but with so much less fear.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, there's like there's no boundaries anymore.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: It feels like that experience really lifted the boundaries.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I just have a completely different relationship with this uh light and darkness, and my ability to tap into light or darkness, depending on how it's going to support me best in that particular situation.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: Oh wow, this is so deep, and I can feel the uh the light and dark right here.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: And actually, recently, uh like one or two people have said to me, Oh, Natalie, your um your branding for your podcast, Awakening, it's changed.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's dark.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh yes, um, good you've noticed it because it is it is when you look up at the night sky and you see the darkness, and when you accept it, there you can start to see all the stars and the planets shining and the milky way because uh you wouldn't see the stars if you didn't have the darkness.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't see the light if you didn't have the darkness.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: And it's in the unknown, it's in the darkness, it's in the void that all possibilities and potentialities exist.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's where our story is before it's written, before it's experienced, before it's created.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so I invite people to to to go to uh to surrender into it and then it no longer has a hold over you.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the only reason why darkness has control over us is because we left it, because we are so fearful of it, we're running away from it.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: But the moment we stop running and we turn towards it and we go, hold on, what is this?
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: And we face it, our shadows inside come up to the surface and they dissolve.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: They have no control over us.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, it's just like we we either are identifying with that dark voice inside of us, or we're running away from it, and that's where it has control.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: But when we stop, we turn towards it and we bring the love of our soul to it, it dissolves, it just clears, and we become back to like neutral, where light and dark is just energy.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, beautiful, absolutely, absolutely.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: So Kate, I I'm interested to also know like your third-dimensional experience because uh were you in movies?
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, there was something there was something you were doing before you were publisher.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: What what what what happened as you were changing inside?
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: Can you also explain a bit of the outside world?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: Sure, yes.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um so it's interesting how I even got into books was that when I became a mom, a new mom, and I my kid, my daughters are about two years apart, um, so fairly close together.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I began to have this deep desire to share with them the way that I saw the world that was always drastically different than most people around me.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I thought, I really am feeling this pull to capture this somewhere.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: And they were very young at the time, obviously.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_02: They were when I had this desire, I had a toddler and an infant.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I thought, I wonder if I could write a story or write a book, even.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was kind of a far-fetched thing at that time for me, but I just like had this idea like I wonder if if I started now to share with them the way that I saw the world and how beautiful and expansive and delightful it can be.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_02: And if what if I started to share with them now in a way that they could understand?
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I didn't see anything out in the world at that time.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_02: Like there were no books like this for children at that time.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_02: Now there's a lot.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_02: We're very lucky.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: At this time, my daughter, my oldest daughter is 16.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_02: 16 years ago, this did not exist.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: So I had this idea and I did.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: I I wrote, I wrote my first book.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's called More Than Magic.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: Excuse me, that's the second book.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: More than mud is the first book, and it's making muddy moments magical.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: So it's these, it's again this light and darkness.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's kind of interesting, right?
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: But it's about these, these moments that people think are muddy or like bad moments in life.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: And it's a way that the child can look at that situation and and shift it and look at it from a unique perspective.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's what the book is about.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and it's in a way that children can understand.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: And so I just had this real deep desire to really have this relationship with my children, right?
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, to be to kind of be speak life to into them in a different way.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: And that's where this book was born from.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: And that book ended up on the bestseller charts for over a hundred weeks straight.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what sort of got me into this authorship.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: And then the success of that book, and my daughters were young, but they were seeing me, you know, get this book together and then it go out into the world.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I was doing author signings and speaking.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: And so, about uh a couple of years later, as we started to talk about a second book, my daughter Bella, my oldest, was five years old at the time.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: So she actually helped me in creating More Than Magic, which is the second book in the series.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: And at five years old, she became a number one international best-selling author because she actually wrote that story.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's all hers.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's not my story.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I helped her, you know, type it out, but I would say, is this what you mean?
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: And she would say yes or no, and then she would tell me the rest.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and it's a beautiful story about magic from within and how basically it's when everyone feels um comfortable and is uh sharing their magic with the world, it's only then that all of the colors can truly be seen in the world, right?
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and so if you're not showing your colors, then the world is not as vibrant as it could be.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's the essence of the story, more the magic, it's about everyone's magic inside, but it's her story.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so this is sort of like how our journey began.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_02: And then as our books really started to go out in the world, other people were contacting us.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_02: And actually, what ended up happening is that moms were buying this, these children's books, and they were saying, My kids love these books, Kate, but I really feel like there's a much deeper message in these children's books.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: Do you do anything for adults?
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Yes.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_02: And that's how I started to do things for adults, and I started to do women's retreats and workshops and uh all sorts of, you know, different experiences.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_02: And through the transformation of these experiences, the women that I was working with, they wanted to write serre as well.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_02: And that's how we began to write other books.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_02: I began to help people birth their own stories.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_02: I began to help people publish.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: Melissa Minnick ended up being a part of one of those books, and then this is really sort of how it grew from there.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_02: So that's the journey.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's so precious that it was with your daughter.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's how it began.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: The magic that we each have our own frequency, our light, our color, and that we we truly need to the biggest thing to accept ourselves, to allow ourselves to be who we are, because I don't know why this programming is here, but it is we struggle to love ourselves, to accept ourselves, to let us be who we are.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: We have this internal push and pull, and and to learn that at a young age, oh this is changing the frequency of our planet.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yes, I I agree with that, and I saw it happen in real time.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_02: Every experience that we would go into schools or we would be at um a talk with children, the fact that the it was children speaking to children, like my daughters sharing about the story with other children around their age, the way that they received the information was so different of just me being there and sharing it with them, right?
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_02: And so I saw the frequency literally shifting as you're describing in real time.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: And we actually to ended up taking these books uh internationally.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: We went and um lived abroad for about three and a half months.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and we took these, forgive me, and we took these uh books um to Ireland first and then to the UK and then to Italy.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and we went into their schools and we were uh on their on their TV, like we were interviewed on radio and TV there and all these really special experiences, but it was like an international book tour that ended up taking place.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so we got to actually see this travel the globe like in real time.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, our books certainly are sold in multiple countries, but it was important for me that my children could see the impact of their words because my daughter Livy, my youngest, then actually went on to write a book called Believe Big.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: And they actually uh were the illustrators of that book too.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: Bella and Livy were both the illustrators of Believe Big.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_02: So we started with my book, More Than Bud, Bella wrote More Than Magic, and then Livy and Bella helped to create Believe Big.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_02: So we all had a part in it.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so we took our books, and and it's one thing to know that you sold books in this country, but it's another thing to take them and speak to the children all over the world.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, it I mean, we still have a lot of many countries to go, but it was a good beginning.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: It was a good beginning for them to see the impact that is possible and the ripple effect that is possible through you uh having something to say and having the courage to share it, right?
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's true.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: It does take courage.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_00: And and actually we're all living inside stories, like some very consciously chosen because we're like awake, we're aware, we're consciously present.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: Uh but some of our stories we've in we've actually inherited.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: We we uh we're carrying um uh uh stories that uh that maybe aren't aren't our own, that that uh it's time to like recognize, hold on, whose story am I am I living?
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because I get such a strong sense that we're this awakening that's happening on earth is cracking us open so fast and so wide that what uh whatever shadows and whatever programming and conditions we've taken from our our loved ones, from schooling, from um people around us that we've learned from and we've then inherited them, they're no longer staying hidden.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: And um and I I yeah, and also like when I was working with you throughout these last six months, like some of the things you've said about like rewriting our limiting stories is like it's such a huge part of your work.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually like um recognizing what we're carrying, what's not ours, what is ours, and that um uh when we when we birth it, when we like uh bring it out of us, it it can change our circumstances, our our perceptions, uh, our identity, uh and and something deeper, like a deep transformation.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, there's so much here.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like also you talk you you speak about like stories of possibility, uh what happens when someone like intellectually believes that anything is possible, um, and then what actually happens with that?
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_00: Because something happens inside.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because what I find with you, Kate, you believe, you believe so deeply, like there's just no doubt.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: So it helps each one of us as we're writing our story to believe that we're worthy of writing it.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then all these layers start to to release and the unworthiness clears.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_00: And and so I'd love for you to talk into some of this that I've that I've mentioned.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, thank you.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, it's interesting.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_02: We we all we all have our innate gifts, like in addition to the innate programming that you mentioned, right?
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_02: You're like, I don't know why we have this this programming, right?
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: We all have that.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like we're it's a blessing.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like our it doesn't feel like it sometimes, but the programming that we're given and um figuring that out in this human form, right?
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's all just such a blessing to be able to experience it, all aspects of it, right?
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_02: Such a blessing.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_02: And we're all given this innate multiple, but we can all come, you know, immediately come up with one innate gift that we're like, this is like something that has been given to me that I know I am extraordinary at.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I know this is my gift to give to other people.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: And one of those things for me, ever since I can remember, I would be able to do like just when I have the permission to be in someone's space and really be in their energy and tap into their energy.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: I am able to see the vision for you and for your life, like what is actually possible for you, like not like tenfold, not a hundredfold.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_02: Like I can see it light years in the future.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like I just have this ability for people, like, and that's why it is so easy for me to believe for you, because it's like it's not just about a book for me or where the book goes or what's next for the book.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I am so far in the future for you of like what is actually possible.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_02: But the, and a lot of people have that.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_02: What I think is a little bit different about the way that I vision things is that I can see the entire vision, but I have this wild ability to also reverse engineer it so I can connect the dots backwards and I can actually benchmark like the certain like pivotal moments that can happen if you decide that's the path you want to go.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: Of like there's infinite ways to get there.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not necessarily about the how, but it's almost like a ladder.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like I can see the actual ladder and the benchmarks along the way.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's so it really truly is such a gift to be able to see it for people.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_02: And it's so easy for me to believe it because I can actually see exactly the pathway, right?
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_02: And and there are multiple pathways.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: And so if we get here, like all of a sudden another thing could open up.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: And if we go this way and then another thing opens up, of course, there's infinite ways we can get there.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_02: But it's it's just very, very cool to be able to experience that with people and be able to provide them um this clear way of believing in this infinite possibility, right?
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_02: So, so that's something that's very, very cool.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_02: But as far as the rewriting piece, you know, I think um what is interesting, and I don't hear about this talked about all the time, that you can rewrite your story and you can rewrite your programming.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_02: And my experience, my personal experience with that, is that it's a recommitment almost every day for me to do that.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: Like I am rewriting every day.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so like often I am rewriting literally with pencil and paper.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is one of my daily practices that I do.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_02: But at the very minimum, if I am not available, if I'm traveling or whatever else and time doesn't allow, but although it does most days, you know, like I'm certainly rewriting in my head, like I'm certainly rewriting an experience that I'm seeing something show up for me.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, okay, like I'm unavailable for that, right?
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: So if I am unavailable for this, what am I available for?
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_02: So it is a constant relationship with the rewriting of what it is that you actually want to step into and continuously co-create.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I believe that's on a daily basis.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_02: So this is an ongoing experience and practice in my life.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: I totally agree because uh just lately I've I I live in the space of awareness, and lately I've noticed in that space of awareness, you can notice every single thought pattern of the mind.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_00: You can notice everything that it wants to bring up and what stories it makes up.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: And to be honest, the mind, the thinking mind is a little bit insane.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like the things that it thinks, it thinks one thing over there, uh for example, oh, what are we gonna make for dinner?
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then it goes, oh, and what happened yesterday?
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, and what's this person doing?
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: And like it thinks so much and in all directions, and uh it's it's crazy, it's a crazy mind.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: And so um, but it's what we choose to believe.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's where we put emotional charge towards that thought.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: The thought isn't very powerful, it only becomes powerful um when it's got emotion with it.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I I see thoughts as these electric currents and emotions as magnetic.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_00: And so when you have a thought and an emotion, um it becomes an electromagnetic pulse, which sends out this frequency into the universe and creates our reality.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um and and with that, we are such powerful creators.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: We at the point of thought, we get to choose if we want to put emotion towards that, if we want to believe in uh in that thought.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: And and lately I've just been watching my mind and going, no, not that, oh not that, not that.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, and I'm I'm like, how come all of a sudden?
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because I I've gotten quite far into a space of a lot a lot of moments of silence, and a lot of moments where my mind's not thinking, but now all of a sudden it's thinking again and it's it's I was like, oh, it's thinking.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's actually not fear, it hasn't gone totally into fear, but it's it's like worrying or it's doubting or it's not trusting.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, wow, that's so interesting because I've been doing this for years, and so I want to say this to people so people don't think, oh my gosh, I've got to get to this point where I'm perfect.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know about that point, I don't know about it.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_00: All I know is maintain awareness every day and choose what you want to bring your energy towards, and and that's how you live in harmony and peace.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's how you find the peace, because your thinking mind doesn't control you anymore.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_00: But actually, then you really have eyes wide open and you get to realize how how the mind is, but it it is a rewiring, it is a reprogramming because you when you don't feed awareness or energy towards that thought, that thought dissolves, it's not yours.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like, um, and so yeah, it and then I asked the universe, I'm like, So why just this last week is it coming up so strong?
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: And um my guides came through and they said, You're going through an ascension burst.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: So there's a lot of light codes coming in.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: And when there's a lot of light, it is shining on any shadow, any residue belief patterns, any old stories, and it's bringing them up to the surface and it's giving you an opportunity to let them go.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's why it's it's a lot right now.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm sure everyone who's watching and listening could can can write into the chat and actually share that you're noticing this as well.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: It just feels right now, it feels feels a lot.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_00: Are you experiencing that as well right now?
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: Well, with every new awareness, every new level, every expansion, every you know, up-leveling, there is going to be a new rewriting, right?
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_02: Is exactly what you're articulating.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: And so, of course, it's a continuous, it is not a beginning and an end, right?
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_02: This is cyclical, this is all continuous, this is um ongoing.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_02: And how exciting that that it is, in fact, right?
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like I always say, like, what a blessing that we're like still getting to experience, you know, the the continuation of this new level of expansion that we're now, you know, deciding how we are participating, right, with this uh new version of ourselves, you know, in this moment, right?
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I also love your visual, you know, of attaching the energy and and what it is, of course, that you want to expand with the emotion that you put behind it.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_02: I find it also very uh, I think it's fun.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: I I find it fun to, when I visualize this, it's almost like so the thought that you described, right?
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_02: And if you're not gonna put the emotion behind it or charge it in any way, it's like, okay, so that pathway in my brain, like it's just gonna hang out there and it's just going to um not continue.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_02: Like at this time, I can pick it back later.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_02: It may serve me at one point or another point in time.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_02: But for now, we're just gonna go ahead and allow that pathway to just kind of, you know, just hang out where it is.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_02: And then I get to create like an entirely new literal pathway and then to visualize with the emotion that you articulated that I'm charging it.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_02: And as I charge it, it's getting brighter and brighter and picking up speed, and it's literally creating like that pathway until and and you charge it and you put energy behind it and you light it up as much as you need to, as many days in a row, as as many ways as it takes, until the pathway creates it where it is that you want to take it to and where it is that you want to go, or until it feels good, or until you lock into it, or until that alignment happens, like whatever your language is around that, right?
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_02: But the I am very visual, it seems like you are as well, in the way that you're explaining this, and like that's how I see it, right?
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_02: And so I'm working on like that new path.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm working on that, and then like, oh, here it is, it just opened up.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_02: So now here we are, right?
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_02: And now I'm locked into that.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: Now I can literally feel that energetically I came into like complete alignment with based on me putting all of that energy and all of that co-creation behind that.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_02: The rewriting is a part of that as well, right?
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_02: So that's beautiful, really beautiful.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_00: I and I love what you what you said about how um it's a leveling up.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it is exciting when you got when you go, oh boy, all my shadows are all of a sudden right here at the top of the surface of the water.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's a huge sign that you are quantum leaping, you're leveling up, you have you're going to a huge shift.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a great sign.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: And it means it doesn't always feel good, right?
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_02: I like that you're saying that because leveling up doesn't always, you're not just like, ah, this feels amazing all of the time, right?
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's not what we're saying.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, although I do um, you know, I'm at the point now where it's like I'm also very welcoming, you know, of the experience.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um, although it is, you know, it does there are a myriad of different uh feelings and emotions and experiences that go along with that, right?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: But I but again, it's like it's part of you know the gift that we've been given of this experience.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: That's how I look at it.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_02: This human experience.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_00: The blessing of being a human.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's it.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: I've got a few people in the community who um like have a struggle with money.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I remember this one comment.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_00: I I was on a podcast and someone wrote into the chat of the podcast, they said, How come healers are always charging so much money?
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_00: And at that stage of my life, I wasn't charging a lot for my healing um because I didn't have a full-on business.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't have people helping me to answer emails, anything.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_00: It was just it was just little on me doing everything and I wasn't that busy.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now I've got into this place where I'm like, oh my gosh, I need a team.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_00: And the moment you start offering courses and workshops, you've got to start paying for all those platforms.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: And like it's the expenses build up when you've got a company, it's it's everything.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: And so now I come to understand, I'm like, oh, the more you're able to help more people, not only uh is it that, but also it's like I remember during writing this book, I and I uh was speaking with you.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'd already written my chapter, and you had said, Oh, Natalie, you've made it easy for me.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_00: And what are we having this call about?
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and I and I was like, oh, Kate, I've just like thousands of people have just joined my community and I'm feeling it in my nervous system and feeling it in my body, and I know that you've had this.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_00: So like, and and so we we chatted about it, how how like physically, when you're holding space for so many people, you feel it in your body, you feel all that energy, and so you actually have to become very grounded in yourself and become I I feel like there's a lot to learn and grow to be able to do what we do to get to where we are.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_00: I I I couldn't have gone from zero to here just in one flash.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_00: I I wouldn't have been able to handle it.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm so grateful for the gentle journey, and now I'm in a capacity energetically, mentally, emotionally grounded in my body to hold space for thousands and and and now I've got a team that helps me.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: Now, going back to to where this all began, is that uh yeah, some people judge, they're like, Well, you know, why as a healer are you charging?
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: Or like why um and and I I wonder why do we have a programming that we say, Oh, I'm following my soul purpose, I'm following my heart, oh, I shouldn't earn money for it.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this is a weird thing.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_00: And so I love it because you um you sit in a beautiful intersection of like purpose and profit, and you believe that money is an important part of our spiritual purpose, and like you help people to move away from that like struggle with with money, and and yeah, why are we struggling when we're following our soul and our heart with money?
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_00: I want to hand this over to you.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, one of my favorite things to talk about because my deep desire for all of the light workers and healers and souls out there that are looking to make a contribution, is that my deepest hope is that money never has to be the reason you say no to something.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's really where it stems from for me.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so if I have a beautiful soul out there that wants to create something for the world or they want to learn something to further expand how they can give, you know, give back to their community, or they want to host something or et cetera, but they can't do it because they do not have the resources to expand and get their work out into the world in the way that they want to.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_02: Now we have just not only limited that person, but we've limited every person that their work could have touched.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm unavailable for that.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_02: I am available for you getting your work out into the world.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_02: I am available for the ripple effect times 10 and times 100 and times a thousand.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_02: I believe that the dollar signs in your bank account equal the amount of people that you can help.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_02: I really believe that.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_02: And so when I look at it that way, money is deeply serving.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like money is deeply serving to us.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_02: And I there is certainly a narrative that's been built around money and greed.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_02: And I just don't subscribe to that.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'm just completely unavailable for it because I haven't seen that be true in my own life.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_02: And it's by design, it's by choice, you know.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um, money is is is serving and beautiful and a companion and a support system and allows generosity and so many other things, right?
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_02: And so it just really is like, okay, so like a belief, right?
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: And we've all heard this, I'm sure, but what is in the middle of a belief, right?
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_02: L I.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: A lie.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's just really what you're telling yourself.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_02: You can lie one way or the other, right?
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_02: But the belief truly is, it's like you can lie, like you could say that money is bad and that's a lie, or you can say money is good and that's a lie.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_02: It just is a story that you're telling yourself.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_02: So pick out the middle, decide which story is going to serve you best and tell yourself that story, and that will become your belief.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's really as simple as that gets.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_02: I do know there's more to it.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_02: I do the work every day myself.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: But at the core of it, like that's really what we're talking about here.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I also think that the re I do a lot of work of holding this space that you're talking about.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh because I mean, I make almost daily now what I used to make in a year, you know, and I was working really hard and I, you know, had a full-time job and I was running an office in corporate, you know.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is when I was right out of college, you know, and um, you know, and I thought I was making decent money, you know, and I was, by the way, right?
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_02: But to your point, if I want to employ multiple people in my company and I want to have different verticals in my company, right?
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_02: And I want to um create new programs, and I want, you know, we're we're hosting an event in New York City in two weeks, right?
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_02: And I want to host an event, and I want to have my authors up on billboards, and I want to, you know, do all of these things.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_02: It is going to take, um, to your point, a team and help and money and resources to do all of these things, to have people show up in their purpose in a massive, massive way.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_02: I am available to hold the space for all of that.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_02: And with that, is going to come holding the space for massive amounts of resources in the way of money to come my way.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_02: And some of it is going to filter out, and some of it gets to stay with me.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_02: So I get to create the next best thing, right?
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's all for the greater good, right?
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's all for, and that is the intention that I have with every dollar in, every dollar out, every dollar created here, and then created here.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_02: It is all for the intention of what is best not only for me, but what is also best for all involved.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_02: And then from that space, I think really beautiful things can happen.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_02: Also, the more that I get money, I'm sorry, but more the more that I get money into the hands of good people, the more good happens.
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_02: So I love to have this conversation.
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_02: I actually, I have a program called Soulful Sales.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_02: So that the entire, the entire experience that we are talking about here, right?
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_02: With the way that we have looked about at money up until now, or sales up until now, or the way we're investing until now, or the way people invest with us up until now, right?
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_02: It can all be shifted and changed because this really can be a soulful experience.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_02: And that is my hope because when I get the money into good hands, good things will continue to happen in the world.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: I can feel a shift in the frequency of money because the more that conscious people are following their hearts and bringing in money because they're following their hearts, the frequency of the money's gone higher.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then and then conscious people spend their money consciously.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like I support the local farmer because I want really like organic, healthy, delicious food for my body to keep my body in a high frequency.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_00: And that local farm is feeling so blessed, and and it just the blessings continue.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, uh this is it, this is what we're doing.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yeah, absolutely.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: That is what we are available for.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_00: I okay, I feel like um I've I've got uh two more questions, and this one is for for everyone here that's listening.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_00: So for Kate to to speak directly to anyone who's listening or or watching, um, that might be feeling somewhere deep inside that they're made for something more.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_00: They can feel it, like, oh, there's something more that I'm here to do, but they're feeling like terrified, nervous, like unworthy that they um kind of blocking themselves from rewriting their story and coming out into the world.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_00: What would you like their soul to hear today?
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_02: I would like their soul to hear that we need you.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_02: We need you, we need your story, we need your work, we need your gift, we need you.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_02: You're the only one who can share the story, speak the words, do the work in your way.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_02: You are literally the only one on the planet that can share in the way that you can share, that can bring the experiences that only you have been through and bring them out into the world in the unique way in which you were designed to.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_02: You're so worthy of all of the goodness that is waiting for you on the other side of this decision.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_02: And the offering would be to practice in the receiving of that.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's something that we don't talk about enough is the practice of receiving it.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_02: So once you put your work out there, once you once you decide, once you follow that inspired action, the universe delivers immediately.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_02: In one way or another, the universe delivers immediately.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_02: And the way that you think it's going to come back might not show up immediately, but trust me, and when I tell you it's on, it's already on its way, right?
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's already has responded.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 50:25
  SPEAKER_02: So now it's a it's this practice of truly receiving.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_02: So for anybody out there who feels a block right now that you talked about, I wouldn't actually invite you to the practice every day of like feeling the receiving of what it is that you would like to invite in more in your life.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_02: Whether that's you just putting yourself out there and stepping into your story, whether that is, you know, more of a monetary goal, whether that is new expansion in your business, working with more people, inviting clients into your world, growing your audience, starting, you know, something new that you've always dreamed of doing.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_02: How like receive that?
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_02: How can you begin to receive that into your life, both in small ways as opportunities, as ideas, as creation, right?
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_02: Even a phone call or an email or a text.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like there's so many different ways we can begin to receive this.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_02: And then in bigger ways, like what if it just literally shows up at your door?
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and you open your door, and there it is.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_02: How does it feel?
• 51:37
  SPEAKER_02: Like practice literally welcoming it in.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like I always say, like, open up your door, and and what you want is standing right there.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_02: So what do we do?
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like, do we go out and give it a hug?
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe, but make sure that when you're going out and giving a hug, you're also bringing it back in because believe it or not, sometimes what we do is we give it a big hug and then we shut the door.
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_02: And so we have to give it a big hug and then welcome it into the foyer.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_02: And then what are we gonna do?
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_02: If we have what we want standing there right here in our foyer, are we gonna invite it in for something to drink?
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so if we get it in the kitchen and we offer it something to drink, does it get to stay?
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_02: Are we gonna now offer it something to eat?
• 52:18
  SPEAKER_02: And now if we've offered it something to eat, now are we gonna invite it into a beautiful conversation?
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_02: And now if it's had a beautiful conversation, are we inviting it to stay for the party?
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_02: And if it stays for the party, anything can happen.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_02: But are we receiving?
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_02: And so, like this is like the steps of it's interesting.
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes we think that because we open the door, that's enough.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's not.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: There is a whole entire experience of receiving.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_02: And so anybody who's feeling a blocker on anything in their life, I would really encourage you to begin to think of it in this way.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_02: And it's really fun to play with, it's really fun to practice, and I think things can begin to shift.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_00: And it's so true because what we do is when we when we open the door and we say yes, um that that's powerful, but but what you've just done and what you've just said uh is a whole nother level.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_00: I can feel goosebumps go all the way down my body, and and I can feel this energy coming into my space and staying here because otherwise, what can happen is we send mixed signals.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_00: I once had to Anna Cooper here on on Awakening, um, we're having a conversation, and she said, she, and I I keep getting this image of she said, Oh, we tell the universe, yes, I want that car.
• 53:38
  SPEAKER_00: And so the universe gets the car out of the garage, it starts bringing the car towards you, and then you're like, oh no, I'm not worthy, oh no, I don't deserve that car.
• 53:45
  SPEAKER_00: And the universe goes, Oh, all right, I'll just put the car back in the garage then.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_00: The universe is totally responding to us.
• 53:52
  SPEAKER_00: So we we gotta say yes, but continue to say yes and do the work of maintaining awareness and recognizing where we contract, where we limit ourselves, where we go small, and keep breathing that out and going, uh-uh, no, no, that's not me.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_00: I breathe that out and I keep saying yes and keep saying yes, exactly as you said, so that we can have a full-blown party with the experience that our souls come here to have.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, we are available for that.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, yes.
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, Kate, I'm loving this conversation.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_00: So, my last question for you is about you.
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_00: I I mean, you've helped so many people um to become authors, to share their stories.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, who's Kate becoming now?
• 54:36
  SPEAKER_00: What's what's the next chapter of your story?
• 54:41
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, so good.
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_02: I love this.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_02: What a blessing.
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so fun that we just get to decide, right?
• 54:50
  SPEAKER_02: So fun that we just get to decide.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm gonna have a new book coming out that is for the first time my complete story uh and teachings.
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, I I was just speaking to somebody the other day and I said, I don't think anyone knows my complete story.
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_02: Like I don't think my husband knows it, like I don't think my parents know it.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_02: Like I don't think any one person, just because, you know, there's just things as I'm writing this going, like, I don't even think I ever said this to my husband, like I don't even think I ever shared this with him from my childhood or something like that, right?
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_02: And it's coming up now in this beautiful process that we get to do when we write a book.
• 55:28
  SPEAKER_02: The book is called The Rich Life.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_02: And it's truly about the riches in our life and self, health, wealth, and relationships so that we can really understand, you know, what I call the core four.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_02: And those are, in fact, the core four.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and we could really understand how to go deep into each one of these areas of our life and really truly create the richness that life has available for us in every moment, at every turn.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_02: One of my favorite mantras to say every day is I am so happy and grateful for the infinite miracles that are available for me today.
• 56:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what it's about.
• 56:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's what the rich life is about.
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's about really truly diving in with an open heart, with all of your soul, and getting to relish in the richness of what this life has to offer for you.
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_00: You are such a blessing to all of us because you bring such positivity and remind us all of the truth that this life, even when it's dark, is an absolute blessing.
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's a blessing to be here as a human, to be in a body, to be able to have these experiences, to have this life.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_00: You've you've really brought this deeply into uh this conversation today.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Kate.
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much for having me.
