- 1:11I don't know if y' all have seen or not, but it's really cold in Texas.
- 1:16I'm really.
- 1:16It's like it's been in the 30s and 40s the past three days or so.
- 1:21Oh, wow.
- 1:22My joints are like.
- 1:25I feel you.
- 1:26But I mean, the season, I like spooky season.
- 1:28So it's been.
- 1:29Other than that, that's been going pretty good.
- 1:31Yeah, I've been getting rocked by mercury retrograde.
- 1:34All right, well, D, I made a T shirt for you.
- 1:39Right?
- 1:40You've made a few T shirts for me?
- 1:42Yes.
- 1:44All right, Claudia, I made a T shirt for you, right?
- 1:47Yes, sir.
- 1:48You did a couple.
- 1:50Yeah.
- 1:51I've got your clock.
- 1:52One.
- 1:52And I had a special request fulfilled by you as well.
- 1:57All right.
- 1:59You know something I do that you guys don't do.
- 2:02What's that?
- 2:04Every time I leave the house, I wear my T shirt.
- 2:08I wear mine a lot.
- 2:09It's just I only have two.
- 2:10You probably have, like 20.
- 2:12Yeah, well, but stay with me here.
- 2:16So every time I leave the house, I wear my T shirt, and I wear my shirts like a uniform.
- 2:23Right.
- 2:25And so.
- 2:28And I have the analytics to show that it.
- 2:31Is it working?
- 2:33It's working, but I Also get into strange conversations with people all the time just because of the T shirt.
- 2:42So this may sound like a joke when I started off, but it's not a joke.
- 2:50So one day I was walking through the woods with my dog, and I came up on.
- 2:56And I came up on two ladies.
- 3:01One read my shirt and said something to me.
- 3:05I had an astrology shirt on.
- 3:07So what do you think that person said to me?
- 3:10Something about astrology.
- 3:12Yeah.
- 3:12So that conversation led to astrology conversation.
- 3:17That's why I tell y', all, y' all need to we y' all promote y' all stuff every time you leave the house.
- 3:22That conversation led to a Instagram follow.
- 3:28That Instagram follow led to me watching.
- 3:34And you know how I like to stalk people, Claudia.
- 3:39And which led to our guest today, Caroline from Love by Carol.
- 3:46How you doing, Caroline?
- 3:47Hello.
- 3:48I loved the story.
- 3:49I loved the buildup.
- 3:50I was actually the friend.
- 3:52I didn't even notice the shirt.
- 3:54Oh, really?
- 3:55I'm very, like, in my own head when I'm hiking.
- 3:58So I'm glad my friend said something.
- 4:00And we're here now.
- 4:03Well, welcome to I Am Astrology read.
- 4:06So it was you in the story that walked up to him in the woods?
- 4:09Yes.
- 4:10Oh, okay.
- 4:10That's crazy, because you're from Atlanta too.
- 4:12That makes sense.
- 4:13Yes.
- 4:13Yes.
- 4:14You know how I tell you.
- 4:15You know how I tell you how I walk every day?
- 4:18Well, yeah, one of the paths is through the woods, and.
- 4:25Yeah, that's how we met.
- 4:26I thought you were gonna discover a body or something.
- 4:29Well, that's why I said this may sound like a joke.
- 4:31A living body.
- 4:32It was a living body.
- 4:35Yeah.
- 4:36So.
- 4:37And.
- 4:37And one of the reasons that I invited on the show is because there's a part of her story that really intrigued me, which we'll get to, but I wanted to find out from you, Caroline.
- 4:52Well, you already said you're from Atlanta, right?
- 4:55Yes.
- 4:55Yeah.
- 4:56I can briefly say who I am, what I'm about.
- 4:59I'm Caroline.
- 5:01I have a business called Love by Caro, and I'm a death doula yoga instructor and business coach.
- 5:09And I quit my corporate job last year in fall of 2019 to travel.
- 5:16And I never thought I would go down the path of entrepreneurship so soon, especially during COVID but I decided to start a business during a pandemic.
- 5:25I mean, it's the best time, right?
- 5:26Everybody's gotten laid off or something happening.
- 5:30Yeah.
- 5:30And actually, the quitting of the corporate job is really the part that intrigued me.
- 5:37Why you got.
- 5:38Why you did that?
- 5:39But before we get to that, what was early home life for you?
- 5:43Like?
- 5:44Yeah, that's a great question.
- 5:47So my parents divorced when I was four, and I have three little sisters now.
- 5:54And.
- 5:54And I would say I was pretty, like, shy, lonely, definitely wanted connection.
- 6:00My parents were working a lot and struggled with mental illness.
- 6:04So I have, like, alcoholism, bipolar in my family.
- 6:09And I just have, like, a really compassionate heart towards all of that.
- 6:12And that's why I like speaking on taboo topics, is to normalize.
- 6:16Like, a lot of us go through pain, whether it's sexual abuse, mental illness.
- 6:21Like, we all have a story that wants to be told, and I think that's really what connects us as human beings, and we can share those intimate moments.
- 6:30I see you excelled in school.
- 6:35Was that you were like, hideaway or something?
- 6:40Yeah, I was good.
- 6:41I'm great at following directions, so I think it's sometimes bad to be like that.
- 6:45Just do, do, do.
- 6:47So definitely the school system in America was pretty easy for me because I just can memorize things and then forget about it days later.
- 6:57So, yeah, school definitely was the indicator of success.
- 7:01I've realized, like, throughout growing up, like, I wasn't great at dancing or even PE or trying out for band, and, like, the only thing I could do is use my intelligence to get good grades.
- 7:15So that was definitely like, an old, reliable.
- 7:18Same girl, same.
- 7:22Did you.
- 7:23Was your household spiritual?
- 7:26No, not at all.
- 7:27Like, definitely not really spiritual.
- 7:30Just very, like, chaotic.
- 7:34A lot of distractions, a lot of tv, alcohol, substances I would and love, you know?
- 7:42But, yeah, not.
- 7:44Not spiritual.
- 7:45All right.
- 7:46And you studied accounting, right?
- 7:50Yes, so that's my degree, and I did that route for four years.
- 7:55So how do you go from being accountant to a death doula?
- 8:01Yeah, it's a really interesting path.
- 8:05So I was interested around death after my cousin had a baby that had a heart defect, and eventually Gianna was her name.
- 8:14She passed after a few years.
- 8:16Really sad.
- 8:17And our family, it just took a huge toll on our family.
- 8:20And this was back in 2015.
- 8:23So ever since then, I just found myself in conversations about grief, asking coworkers, friends.
- 8:28I just liked talking about it.
- 8:30And I was in Costa Rica this year, and I was talking about grief, and someone told me about a death doula.
- 8:37So.
- 8:37So essentially what a death doula is, is it's an emotional and spiritual caretaker to help with the process before the death.
- 8:47Like planning a death, legacy work.
- 8:49How do you want the ceremony to be?
- 8:51The hospital room, et cetera.
- 8:53Then you could be there during the active dying stage.
- 8:56Helping the family, making sure the wishes are respected.
- 8:59And then the third part of death doula work is the grief work.
- 9:03So that loss after the loved one passes, really supporting the family left behind.
- 9:09All right, now did you start there?
- 9:12Where did your journey into spirituality and the work that you do, the yoga and when did that start?
- 9:22Yeah, so I had a breakup.
- 9:24I dated my high school sweetheart for five years and we ultimately broke up when I was 21.
- 9:30And that just launched me into self help and I know so many others have as well.
- 9:36And I just had no meaning of life.
- 9:39I experienced depression for the first time.
- 9:41I found a therapist.
- 9:43I had never read a self help book in my life.
- 9:46I didn't know what I believed.
- 9:47My boyfriend was atheist.
- 9:49So I was completely lost and shattered.
- 9:53And I started my accounting internship that summer and just realized, like, is this really all there is to life?
- 9:59Like, you work and you hate your job and you get home and you make a drink or smoke a bowl and that's kind of how we're passing our days.
- 10:09I'm definitely, especially with accounting, is just putting numbers in boxes all day.
- 10:15I can imagine it getting like really repetitive.
- 10:18Yeah, there was just no meaning behind it.
- 10:21And I like the connection.
- 10:23I like human.
- 10:25And yeah, I just, it found.
- 10:26It felt purposeless.
- 10:28But by the time that I started finding myself and getting into the self help journey, I was already three years into my college degree.
- 10:37So then I really was like, well, I want to take this to the finish line.
- 10:41And I rather just do the corporate path.
- 10:43Keep chugging.
- 10:44I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew accounting would help me start a business one day.
- 10:50So I just said like, you know what, fuck it, like, this will take me to Denver.
- 10:54I got my job out in Denver and I thought that was a huge blessing, so I continued on, but really knew that this was not my path.
- 11:03Carol literally, Paul, Carol literally just described my life literally.
- 11:10Like, she's my lot.
- 11:11She's my long lost twin and she doesn't even know it.
- 11:13I know, right?
- 11:16And if she saw.
- 11:17And if she saw my chart, she'd be like, okay.
- 11:19That's why.
- 11:21Well, she.
- 11:22She doesn't know astrology.
- 11:24No, I know, I know.
- 11:25But Carol, she did.
- 11:28I love that so much.
- 11:30Yeah, well, I did before you stepped in.
- 11:33I did tell her that she was in line a couple of months before you.
- 11:37So you two share some aspects that are alike.
- 11:43Yeah, no, we share a lot.
- 11:44No, you literally.
- 11:45Like, you, you just described from like from the high school Sweetheart to the 21 getting broken up to the three, three year into your degree.
- 11:54All of that.
- 11:54All of that.
- 11:55I did all of that.
- 11:55Everything, everything breakdown at 22, which was probably due to your, like right before your Jupiter return.
- 12:03Same thing.
- 12:03Yeah, everything.
- 12:05Oh my gosh, I love it.
- 12:07Yeah, that's amazing.
- 12:09Now what part of the self help did you start first?
- 12:12The yoga or the.
- 12:15Yeah, so I did a few yoga classes in college.
- 12:18Loved having my mat around.
- 12:20But I would say the biggest thing was the books.
- 12:24Like, I was so hungry for knowledge, especially not knowing what religion I wanted to be like.
- 12:29I really just wanted to find an answer.
- 12:32So that was definitely number one.
- 12:34And then therapy, I just saw so many benefits from that and realizing what's toxic, what are boundaries, what's addiction.
- 12:43So that really sparked the self help journey.
- 12:47All my bookshelves are like just purely self help books.
- 12:50My husband gets onto me all the time.
- 12:52Like read something for fun.
- 12:53And I'm.
- 12:55This is fun.
- 12:55I'm working on me.
- 12:59I mean, it's hard, but I guess it would.
- 13:01I wouldn't call it fun, but like this is purposeful.
- 13:05Like this is what I want to do with my time.
- 13:08Yes.
- 13:10Evolution is sexy.
- 13:11That's like the biggest thing.
- 13:12I got in a lot of fights with my family this summer because it's like you don't want to evolve.
- 13:18That is so hard for me to watch.
- 13:20But also that's the spiritual journey of we know we're on our own path and we need to let others voluntarily evolve.
- 13:26I like the acronym love let others voluntarily evolve to kind of.
- 13:34Did you figure out what you believe?
- 13:38Yeah.
- 13:38So I'm a big believer in like nature and cycles and really just like the divine pulse of the universe.
- 13:46And like that to me is spirituality just trusting that everything happens as it needs to.
- 13:54But there's a time for everything.
- 13:56Yeah.
- 13:57Also taking ownership, like trying to recognize my privilege as a white woman and not spiritually bypassing and recognizing that that is a privilege to be where I am and making sure that I'm using my voice.
- 14:14Here you go.
- 14:15Paul's pulling up your chart right now.
- 14:18Yeah, well, I was feel to be.
- 14:19On a podcast with three astrologers.
- 14:23I love it.
- 14:24I was just gonna.
- 14:25I was just gonna point out to D and Claudia.
- 14:32You heard her say she's trying to figure out what she believes.
- 14:36Yep.
- 14:36Yo, I already.
- 14:37I.
- 14:37Yeah.
- 14:38You see this Saturn in Aquarius in the ninth house?
- 14:41Yes.
- 14:41Yeah.
- 14:43Would you.
- 14:43Would you to agree that that speaks to that statement?
- 14:49Yes.
- 14:50She's trying to find the structure of her ninth House, and it's in Aquarius being like.
- 14:57But it's different.
- 14:58She's unconventional from everybody else.
- 15:01Yeah.
- 15:01Her beliefs have to be way different than everybody else's.
- 15:05Yes.
- 15:05Would you agree with that, Caroline?
- 15:08Yes.
- 15:09I feel like I'm a contradiction.
- 15:11I like going against the grain with a lot.
- 15:13Yes.
- 15:13Same girl.
- 15:14Same.
- 15:17I like that.
- 15:18Aquarian energy is one of my favorites.
- 15:22And actually, you guys, actually all three of us share some type of energy on this podcast.
- 15:31I was noticing that a lot of that when you.
- 15:34Caroline, your moon sign is Aries.
- 15:37Yes.
- 15:38And D and Claudia or Aries Rising.
- 15:44Yeah.
- 15:45I was noticing that Mars going retrograde, going back and forth over me and Claudia's rising is kind of doing the same thing with her moon to a little bit of a looser conjunction there.
- 15:56Yeah.
- 15:57Well, maybe you might want to explain what you mean that.
- 16:03It's your podcast.
- 16:04I'll let you do it.
- 16:06You want to shoot for it.
- 16:08Okay.
- 16:09Would you.
- 16:10Being with you being a Aries moon.
- 16:18Mars is currently in Aries now, and it's retrograde.
- 16:24And so you have been reviewing, going back some things, probably emotional ties that you have with friends and alliances and stuff like that.
- 16:38That resonates a lot.
- 16:41Yeah.
- 16:42And.
- 16:42And there could be some tension there a little bit.
- 16:46Yeah.
- 16:46I feel like I felt this a lot, maybe even a month, two months ago.
- 16:51Right now, it feels more like reviewing family relationships, but I definitely.
- 16:59Yeah, this resonates.
- 17:01Yeah.
- 17:03Now, one thing me and you share in common is our chart order.
- 17:10I'm a Gemini rising, and you're a Gemini rising as well.
- 17:14So our chart order is the same.
- 17:18You also have Scorpio energy.
- 17:22I'm a Scorpio moon.
- 17:29You are a.
- 17:31Your Mercury is in Sagittarius.
- 17:33Claudia is a Sagittarius moon.
- 17:37Yep.
- 17:37And.
- 17:38And D is a Gemini moon.
- 17:41Yeah.
- 17:43So.
- 17:43No.
- 17:44And.
- 17:44And.
- 17:44And she also has her moon in the 11th, where I have all these planets.
- 17:50I have my moon in the ninth house.
- 17:51She has her planets in the ninth house.
- 17:53Like, she has planets in the eighth.
- 17:55So do I.
- 17:56Yeah.
- 17:56There's a lot of similarities here.
- 17:58We're not here by coincidence, guys.
- 18:00Right.
- 18:01Divine timing.
- 18:03Absolutely.
- 18:04Absolutely.
- 18:05Caroline had to.
- 18:06Had to meet me right now because I'm going through the same thing.
- 18:11D.
- 18:12Do you have.
- 18:13Do you have Jupiter in Virgo as well?
- 18:17Cancer.
- 18:18Oh, it is.
- 18:19Yeah.
- 18:20Oh.
- 18:20Oh.
- 18:21So.
- 18:21Oh, girl.
- 18:22So.
- 18:23So you're gonna.
- 18:23You're gonna have an inheritance one day.
- 18:25Oh, girl.
- 18:26Oh, girl.
- 18:28I don't know.
- 18:28You know.
- 18:29You know.
- 18:29You know, Jupiter and Cancer is one of like, the most prominent placements.
- 18:33You, You, You.
- 18:33You can amass a lot of wealth.
- 18:35I keep hearing a lot of.
- 18:38Yeah.
- 18:39That it's a lucky placement financially.
- 18:41And being it's in my fourth house, we've had a lot of good luck with houses.
- 18:46So, like, me and my spouse, we started out totally broke in the depression of 2010, couldn't pay our rent, lived in a trailer after a while.
- 18:56And not to say like, we own a castle now, but, like, we.
- 19:02Every time we have sold, like, when we sold the trailer and when we sold our first house, we've been able to make out with more than what we paid for it.
- 19:11So I'd say we're pretty lucky in that area of life.
- 19:15That's amazing.
- 19:16So that might mean every time you sell a property, you will find into the game.
- 19:26So far, that has been.
- 19:27That has held true.
- 19:29Let's go.
- 19:29Robert Kiyosaki.
- 19:31Actually, have you.
- 19:33Have you thought about real estate, Caroline?
- 19:38I have.
- 19:39I honestly am the worst driver.
- 19:41This is a weird paranoia about real estate, but, like, the idea of finding a house, like, getting there, not knowing where to park, and having someone follow behind me, I just can't imagine.
- 19:54All right, now.
- 19:56Now, would you.
- 19:57I got.
- 20:00With you having three planets in Scorpio.
- 20:04Is it.
- 20:08Is it what I'm trying to say, is it obvious to Claudia and D.
- 20:14Is it obvious to you guys of her being an accountant?
- 20:19Of her being an accountant?
- 20:21Yes.
- 20:21Yeah.
- 20:22Especially in the sixth house.
- 20:23Absolutely.
- 20:24Yes.
- 20:25She likes.
- 20:26And those numbers have to be, like, lined up.
- 20:30Yeah.
- 20:30I guess I would associate that more with sixth house energy than Scorpio energy, but I can see how both of those being in the same place for.
- 20:37Her.
- 20:40Helped enable that for her to go to school for that and be really good at it.
- 20:45Yeah.
- 20:46Well, Scorpio.
- 20:47Other people's money.
- 20:48Yeah.
- 20:49And.
- 20:49Yeah, okay.
- 20:50Yeah.
- 20:51People's money.
- 20:52Yeah.
- 20:52And.
- 20:52And the detective.
- 20:54Yes.
- 20:55Yep.
- 20:55So we.
- 20:57When you were doing your accounting, was you pretty anal about it?
- 21:02Yes.
- 21:03I had a boss tell me you need to start doing C level work.
- 21:06Not A level work.
- 21:07Basically, like, just do passing.
- 21:11So, yes, I'm very OCD about numbers.
- 21:15Yeah.
- 21:16And probably your work ethic is probably hard for people to keep up with you.
- 21:24Yeah.
- 21:25Yeah, sometimes.
- 21:26But honestly, I don't like working all the time.
- 21:28I'm a projector in human design, so they say, like, four hours max a day.
- 21:33So I like working when I'm excited about it, but I'm really not.
- 21:37Like, I can't work all of the time.
- 21:39Okay, well, that's not right here.
- 21:41That's not what I mean.
- 21:42That's not what I mean, though.
- 21:44So you're a yoga instructor, right?
- 21:47Yes.
- 21:49Could.
- 21:50How.
- 21:50If you went all out, how many people could keep up with you?
- 21:56Yeah, I guess not many.
- 21:58I know a lot of people say, like, I show up pretty consistently on social media, and for me it's like fun and playful.
- 22:05So I.
- 22:06I do see it as well.
- 22:08No, exactly, exactly.
- 22:11That's what I mean by extreme.
- 22:13When you.
- 22:13When you like your yoga class, if somebody.
- 22:16If you went all out and did your yoga and somebody was next to you and tried to stay and do everything that you did, they would sit down before you would probably.
- 22:28You probably don't notice that, but notice it next time.
- 22:33So what type of yoga do you teach?
- 22:36Yeah, I teach yin yoga.
- 22:38It's like the chillest type.
- 22:39So essentially you hold poses for five minutes.
- 22:42So maybe like a butterfly stretch, like gym class, or legs open, like a V stretch.
- 22:48So it's really to kind of relax the nervous system and drop into the body and cultivate quiet space for an hour.
- 22:57What.
- 22:57What's the difference between that yoga and.
- 23:00So I.
- 23:00Only yoga I've done is I did P90X one time, and they have a yoga day.
- 23:06That's not yoga.
- 23:08And that's the only yoga.
- 23:09Hey, and let me tell you something.
- 23:11That's extreme yoga.
- 23:13Listen, listen.
- 23:15Out of all the exercises on P90X, yoga was the one exercise that I sweated the most on.
- 23:22And I tell people all the time, hey, yoga's not what you think.
- 23:27It's not that easy.
- 23:29It's super hard.
- 23:30Yeah, probably the opposite of P90X.
- 23:33So what you think the difference of that yoga that I was doing on P90 and your type of yoga.
- 23:40Yeah, essentially that is just a much faster pace.
- 23:43So you're constantly moving from pose to pose.
- 23:47And the goal is more to be in the body and have a better workout.
- 23:51So.
- 23:51So.
- 23:52And to strengthen the body.
- 23:53So the yin yoga is really more about relaxing.
- 23:56And I call it glorified stretching.
- 23:59Yeah, I like that.
- 24:00Glorified stretching.
- 24:02Do you.
- 24:03Are you into yoga?
- 24:05Sorry, no, I was asking you, are you into yoga?
- 24:08Oh, me?
- 24:09Yeah, I.
- 24:10I've done yoga.
- 24:11I've been pretty consistent with my yoga practice since about 2012.
- 24:18That's when I really, really got into it.
- 24:19And I've done what she's talking about, the yin yoga.
- 24:22Before, I was going to a studio who offered, like, different types of classes, and that was just one of the classes that I happened to show up to and they told me that I was stretching too much.
- 24:36Like I wasn't relaxed enough.
- 24:40Like, the teacher came over and, like, patted me on the back, and he was like, just let it go and, like, just fall into the stretch.
- 24:48Like, it's like you're, like, almost asleep in each pose.
- 24:52Is that a good explanation, Caroline?
- 24:55Yes.
- 24:56You're an overachiever.
- 24:57D.
- 24:58I say a 4 out of 10 on the sensation scale is what you should feel.
- 25:03So it's just like a nice, yummy stretch.
- 25:06Nothing too hard because you are holding it for a few minutes.
- 25:10So you don't want to constantly be moving.
- 25:12Yeah.
- 25:13Really happen.
- 25:14And I think that, like, that was the first time I had taken a yin yoga class.
- 25:18So I was used to the other type where, like, you're reaching for this stretch and they're like, no, just let it go.
- 25:25I'm not used to this, but it was really helpful.
- 25:27It really, like, I don't know, gets you to, like, focus on your breathing and, like, where in your body you're feeling the hurt or the uncomfortableness.
- 25:40It was really cool.
- 25:40I liked it.
- 25:41Well, guess what, Dee?
- 25:43You're in luck.
- 25:45Guess why.
- 25:46Why?
- 25:47What are you doing tonight, Kara?
- 25:49Yeah, right.
- 25:50So every week I host virtual yin yoga.
- 25:54You do?
- 25:55You do?
- 25:56Yes, I record it too, but it's donation based.
- 26:00And it's 9pm Eastern typically every Wednesday night, so.
- 26:05So if you follow me on Instagram, I update the schedule there.
- 26:09I need to follow you on Instagram because I've been meaning to get better yoga class.
- 26:14No, you can do it in bed.
- 26:15I actually.
- 26:16So that's how my business was started.
- 26:18I started offering free yoga.
- 26:20And the first class was bedtime with Caro.
- 26:23So we did it from our beds, which is really fun.
- 26:28This is my favorite person ever, Paul.
- 26:32I told you.
- 26:33I told you.
- 26:34You.
- 26:34You two probably gonna have a lot in common.
- 26:37I get to work out in my bed.
- 26:38That's all I've ever wanted in my life.
- 26:40I know, right?
- 26:41Coming from a Pisces.
- 26:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:45All of my planets oppose her.
- 26:47Well, my sun and moon oppose hers.
- 26:50Yeah.
- 26:51Her laziness is showing.
- 26:55So I see you are into taboo.
- 26:59Yes.
- 27:00What do you mean?
- 27:01But what do you mean by taboo?
- 27:03Yeah, so taboos are just topics that deviate from social norms.
- 27:08And so, you know, on dates, they're like, don't talk about money, don't talk about politics.
- 27:13Basically, anything that's not dinner table conversation, I would say, is a taboo.
- 27:19That's quite the Scorpio answer, by the way.
- 27:21The taboo.
- 27:23Yes.
- 27:24Yes.
- 27:25Well, well, we, we, when talking about this show and looking at Scorpio energy and we were trying to figure out the taboo stuff, we, our minds kind of ran wild.
- 27:40I'm excited for any.
- 27:43Well, too wild because it's Scorpio season.
- 27:46Scorpio topics are death, taxes, death not as in dead six feet underground, but death as in transformation, taxes, sex and other people's money.
- 28:04And so you kind of covering a lot of that gambit.
- 28:10Yes.
- 28:10Yeah.
- 28:11She's been textbook Scorpio up until this point.
- 28:13Yeah.
- 28:14And, and then, and then if you look at, you know, Pluto being in your sixth house of transformation and work and stuff like that, you totally, you quit with sitting there with Mars there.
- 28:27You quit your job and totally transformed what you were doing.
- 28:32Yes.
- 28:35How did that sit with your peers and family?
- 28:42Yeah, I think it kind of triggers my family sometimes.
- 28:47They don't really get.
- 28:49Can come off as like attacking them, but they're pretty open minded.
- 28:54I share a lot with all of them and with my peers.
- 28:58They like it.
- 28:59So I started doing Taboo Thursday on my Instagram stories this summer.
- 29:03It just came to me.
- 29:04I was like, oh, that would be fun to kind of showcase different taboo topics.
- 29:07And I haven't stopped and now we're in October, so everyone, everyone seems to enjoy it.
- 29:13But I definitely kind of know that maybe it's a little weird for people to see.
- 29:21Well, I'm kind of interested.
- 29:22What, what kind of like just one example of what you would put on a Taboo Thursday.
- 29:26Yeah.
- 29:28Story or just like on your.
- 29:29Wait, that's tomorrow, right?
- 29:31Third.
- 29:31Yeah.
- 29:32So what's tomorrow's story?
- 29:33If you.
- 29:34I honestly.
- 29:35So I saved down Instagram posts throughout the week and then I just share anything.
- 29:39So like it's not always just about sex on a Thursday.
- 29:42It'll be anything taboo related.
- 29:45So I appreciate that.
- 29:46Yeah.
- 29:47And I really like sharing just about like finance tips or like sex toys.
- 29:53I have a lot of interesting friends.
- 29:54Like one thing that a friend shared last week was deep throating for clearing your throat chakra, which I have.
- 30:02What?
- 30:03Yeah, I'm going to have to keep.
- 30:05That one in mind for the next life.
- 30:09Her name's Aubrey Rose and I don't think she's.
- 30:12She's a Virgo.
- 30:14But yeah, she posted this whole like story series on deep throating for the throat chakra.
- 30:19And someone asked me if I had any more information.
- 30:21I was like, honestly, I've never heard about this topic.
- 30:24But like, talk to Aubry.
- 30:25Yeah.
- 30:27Okay.
- 30:27So my cousin does.
- 30:30My cousin does a feel good Fridays.
- 30:32And she'll do literally just that.
- 30:34She'll just put all these posts that make you feel really good and happy on Fridays.
- 30:37It's pretty cool.
- 30:38I like it.
- 30:38I love that.
- 30:39Caroline, since you brought it up, I have a question for you.
- 30:45Ask away.
- 30:47You have three planets in Scorpio.
- 30:52You also have two planets in the Scorpio house, the eighth house, and one of the topics that comes with that is sex.
- 31:05And me and Claudia was reading your profile and all that stuff, and we were wondering.
- 31:13I love how he blames me.
- 31:15No, I put it on me.
- 31:18I brought it up.
- 31:21And with your Mercury being in the seventh house of relationships and having all that Scorpio energy, I said, I wonder if she is an extremely sexual person.
- 31:35And then Claudia said, I don't think so.
- 31:38She might be.
- 31:39I'll be honest.
- 31:40I'll be honest.
- 31:42And then I said, well, what?
- 31:45Mercury being in seventh house, maybe she's approved, but in inside relationships, she, she may be into tantra.
- 31:57Yes.
- 31:58So can you, you might be after this conversation.
- 32:06I don't, I don't know what I'm asking, but are you approved or are you into.
- 32:11I, I, I think what Paul wants to know here is if you're the, the, if you're the type of, if you're like the textbook Scorpio, that's like, you know, most Scorpios are really known or viewed as like super,
- 32:21incredibly sexual creatures, you know, but because you have it, like you have all these planets in the sixth house.
- 32:27And Virgo, which is like the sixth house is usually rules Virgo.
- 32:31Virgo's the virgin.
- 32:32So the virgin tends to be really prudish.
- 32:35So I think he wants to figure out, like, how do you put like Scorpio energy in a really prudish sort of placement or whatever.
- 32:45And so that's really the big question here.
- 32:48It's like, how do these two combine?
- 32:50Like, does it, like, does that energy play out only when you're in a relationship?
- 32:54Or like, are you like more of like a super respectful and kind of like a very like private Scorpio, you know, that like, will only, you know, like engage on one.
- 33:05On one.
- 33:05Or if you're just kind of like,.
- 33:06What did little John say?
- 33:07I want a woman in a.
- 33:09But a freak in the bed.
- 33:11Exactly, exactly.
- 33:12Like, like in the sheet.
- 33:13Yeah.
- 33:14Or like, or if you actually, or in the past, if you ever did have that scorpionic energy where you kind of just, you know, like went all crazy.
- 33:23Yeah, no, these are great questions.
- 33:24So I would definitely say I Have like a high sex drive for sure.
- 33:28And I'm not really a prude, but I'm trying.
- 33:32But not with just, but not with just everyone.
- 33:35Right?
- 33:35Yeah, I'm very picky.
- 33:37Like I won't just sleep with anybody.
- 33:38Like I definitely.
- 33:39There you go, There you go.
- 33:41That's the, that's the, that's the, the, the, the sixth house energy.
- 33:44Because, because most Scorpios, I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to generalize this but, but Scorpio energy really is, does have a high sex.
- 33:51Right.
- 33:51But depending on where you place it, like they could either, you know, kind of share that, that, that drive with everyone they meet or anyone or just, you know, reserve it for that like, very special person.
- 34:06Yeah, no, it's definitely an attraction thing.
- 34:09And I have nothing against a one night stand.
- 34:11I'm usually just in a mood.
- 34:13Like if I'm traveling, I'm like, oh, I'm in a mood to sleep with someone to night and then sometimes it'll happen.
- 34:20But yeah, I'm very picky.
- 34:21I've only had really like three boyfriends and I'm almost 29, so I'm pretty selective.
- 34:28Do you have something against relationships?
- 34:30How do you, how do you feel about relationships?
- 34:32I love relationships.
- 34:34I kind of idolize them too much.
- 34:37And I'm definitely the kind of person who's like, once I find this guy, then my life will be great.
- 34:42And, and people get upset for me about that.
- 34:46But yeah, I love relationships.
- 34:48I think that's one of the most satisfying things.
- 34:50And I definitely want to have a family and I think that's caused a lot of depression for me, like being in that weird place of not really knowing what my career was going to be and then wanting to
- 35:02build a family.
- 35:03So I think the 20s have been kind of a distressing decade, but in a good way.
- 35:11I always just wanted to be older and have, have kids.
- 35:15Well, well, okay.
- 35:17So what I find interesting is that now in 2021, you know, Saturn is gonna, you're gonna go through your Saturn return, literally.
- 35:25Well, you kind of got a glimpse of it from April to like July of what life could be like in 2021.
- 35:31But, but the ruler of the ninth house.
- 35:33Well, typically the ruler of the ninth house would be Jupiter, right.
- 35:37Which is in your fourth house, which deals with your family.
- 35:40So there's a really high chance that what 2021 could bring you or like the next couple of years is somebody that comes into your life that might challenge your views or might be super, super different than anything you
- 35:52ever thought about.
- 35:53And then they like come with that idea of family, you know, so.
- 35:58So there is that potential of settling down for sure.
- 36:01Especially after 2021.
- 36:03Yeah.
- 36:04Or you could end up with someone who is foreign.
- 36:08That's when you say that.
- 36:10Because I'm obsessed with foreigners.
- 36:12Like there you go.
- 36:13My ex is from Israel and I like literally love him so much.
- 36:17So I love foreign people.
- 36:20I always say that.
- 36:22Dual passport.
- 36:23Yeah.
- 36:24Well, your house, your seventh house of relationships is Sagittarius.
- 36:30Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Jupiter, Sagittarius and Jupiter.
- 36:36Or Sagittarius loves travel to foreign lands, philosophy, higher learning, that type of stuff.
- 36:45So remember I text you and I say, hey, you're a Scorpio, but you think like a Sagittarius.
- 36:52Yes.
- 36:53That's where all the traveling comes from.
- 36:57That's.
- 36:58And the pioneering aspect that you show that warrior spirit comes from your moon.
- 37:10You are being an Aries moon.
- 37:15It gives you the confidence and the guts to go on out there where others may weather at the vine.
- 37:25Interesting.
- 37:26Yeah, I do feel like I have a lot of confidence in that regard.
- 37:30I struggle a lot with like worthiness, like feeling worthy and feeling left behind and.
- 37:35But with confidence, like posting on social media, self promoting, like it's pretty easy for me.
- 37:41That's interesting.
- 37:42The, the.
- 37:43She's got, that.
- 37:44She's got a Venus moon opposition.
- 37:47Yes.
- 37:48In the fifth.
- 37:49So yeah, that worthiness, that word that you just used, like goes so well with that placement.
- 37:54Wow.
- 37:55Well, which leads me to this question.
- 37:58You, you had a accountant job for Big four, right.
- 38:04Is it safe to say that you are making less now than you did with that?
- 38:09Oh yeah, 100%.
- 38:10Like I just hit 10k with my business for revenue, but yeah, with profit.
- 38:16I've made maybe a few grand this year.
- 38:18And then I do freelancing as well.
- 38:20But traveling, I was on kind of a shoestring budget, so I had to kind of flip the script from making a lot in corporate and then not really caring at all about money.
- 38:32But then on the other side, starting a business like you, you do need to make money and support yourself.
- 38:37So that's definitely kind of been a challenge that I've worked through.
- 38:42That's why I was, that's what I was about to say ask you, where are you at with that?
- 38:49So basically.
- 38:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 38:50Before you answer that, Claudia, that probably would be.
- 38:53Would be the moon Venus opposition.
- 38:57That.
- 38:57What I'm sorry,.
- 39:00Maybe matter of fact D too.
- 39:03Would you Say that is the Moon.
- 39:07The Moon, Venus opposition.
- 39:11I, I think it, I think it could be, but I would, I would, I, I would think about it a little bit more like with love, really, like, like in terms of like her love life and stuff like
- 39:23that as well.
- 39:26But it's T squaring is.
- 39:28Look at is it has the T square going to the 8th, from the moon to the, the 8th, which, which.
- 39:36Where is the release for the T square?
- 39:41Yeah.
- 39:43So how the.
- 39:48This is friends, humanitarian efforts.
- 39:52Caroline 11th.
- 39:54This is Kids hobbies, short love, relationships and creativity.
- 40:01This is pretty much your corporate job.
- 40:06Yep.
- 40:07And the release of all of that would be second house, worthiness, value and security.
- 40:14Yeah.
- 40:15So you are having to find a balance between this, this is a tug of war here and you having tension here and here, and basically the release of that is here.
- 40:32What does that mean?
- 40:35How are you dealing with making less money?
- 40:41I really don't mind it at all.
- 40:43I think it's just making sure that I'm making enough money to support myself.
- 40:49So what I've done is I just create like a monthly budget and figure out what are my baseline expenses.
- 40:55Expenses like rent, food, and making sure my freelance job can cover that and then calling in like, I'd love to make five grand a month just to make sure I'm investing and donating and doing all the fun stuff.
- 41:09So just really being clear with the numbers and having QuickBooks with the business, I think is an important place to start for me.
- 41:18I have a, I have, I think I have an.
- 41:21I think I have an answer to this.
- 41:22Paul.
- 41:23So back in 2018, May 2018, Uranus, which is the planet that shakes things up and, and, and makes us kind of like it's that, that.
- 41:37That tornado that just went all over your like, front lawn type of thing.
- 41:42You know, it went, it went from transiting your, your.
- 41:46Your moon, which was.
- 41:47It was transiting it for, for seven years, for a really long time.
- 41:50So you probably had a lot of different changes with your friends or like with, with groups of people or organizations.
- 41:57But in 2018, when it went over to, to Taurus, it.
- 42:01It just struck into like the section of your chart that deals with spirituality.
- 42:06But Taurus rules the second house, so that those feelings of like, worthiness or whatever, I think, I think, I'm not sure you could tell me if this is right or wrong.
- 42:15I think that probably you've had to work on that through your, your finding like spirituality or you finding, you know, like you mentioned earlier that you, you feel like the universe Is.
- 42:26Is.
- 42:27Is like, you know, you believe in pulse of the universe and in nature and.
- 42:31And that's what you love.
- 42:32Right.
- 42:33So at Some point after 2018, you must have come into some.
- 42:37A little bit more of a clear understanding with.
- 42:42With the whole, like, the whole, you know, feelings of worthiness or whatever, but that connection of, like, you know, you know, going out and, like, being in nature or finding the spiritual, the spirituality within you probably has helped
- 42:58that a lot.
- 42:58Am I right or am I, like, not quite there yet?
- 43:02No, you are, like, definitely 2018, a lot of things were shaken up for me.
- 43:07Like, I took a sober sabbatical and found a counselor and found kind of my last job in accounting.
- 43:14But I feel like worthiness has come up for the business.
- 43:17Like, it came up when I had a business coach say, okay, how are you going to map out 100k a year?
- 43:22And I was like, I don't want to make 100k.
- 43:25But then as you do, the numbers, like, what your business is making is not your owner's paycheck.
- 43:31So kind of like figuring out how small business works and how it can support myself and being comfortable with charging prices.
- 43:42Oh, that.
- 43:42That.
- 43:43That's definitely been one of my.
- 43:45Knowing the value of the service that you're offering.
- 43:50Yes.
- 43:50And feeling like I have zero value to offer sometimes, like, it's hard to define in monetary terms for me, like, thinking about it.
- 44:00Well, you speak.
- 44:01You speaking to the choir, because how do you set a price for a dream interpretation?
- 44:10How do you set a price for an astrology reading?
- 44:12You know?
- 44:13Yeah.
- 44:14How do you.
- 44:14How do you set a price for something that comes from spirit?
- 44:18Definitely.
- 44:20And.
- 44:20And when it's something you enjoy doing anyway.
- 44:24Yeah.
- 44:25Yeah.
- 44:26I think pricing it based off the transformation, but I do think it's harder in the middle of a pandemic.
- 44:31For me.
- 44:32I know.
- 44:32For me, it's like pricing things out and thinking about how would people pay for this and who will pay for it and all of those questions.
- 44:40So it's a really interesting lesson.
- 44:44Are you going to not be able to travel as much?
- 44:49Yeah.
- 44:49So I moved to Las Vegas this month, and I would love to always have an apartment here and just use this as my hub.
- 44:57But I kind of planned on no more international travels as long as Covid is happening.
- 45:03But I really wanted to live in Amsterdam this summer, so I feel I'd love to go back there whenever I can.
- 45:13Wow.
- 45:14The land of taboos.
- 45:15How many places?
- 45:17How many places have you been?
- 45:21I've been.
- 45:21I think it's Seven countries.
- 45:23But I'm not really, like, a country counter.
- 45:25Like, I don't really care.
- 45:26I like dropping into a place, like, staying there for a few weeks, staying at hostels, having conversations at dinner tables.
- 45:35So.
- 45:36Hey.
- 45:37Oh, by the way, she did a lot of this alone.
- 45:43Yes.
- 45:43Yeah.
- 45:44She's a solo traveler.
- 45:45You talk about Aries Moon.
- 45:48That's amazing.
- 45:49That's amazing, though.
- 45:51That's amazing.
- 45:51And you know what?
- 45:52I actually know a girl on Instagram that has monetized her lifestyle, her solo traveling lifestyle.
- 45:59Her.
- 46:00Her account is called My Life is a Travel Movie, I believe.
- 46:03And she just did it.
- 46:03One day.
- 46:04She.
- 46:04She quit her corporate job.
- 46:05She's like, I want to travel.
- 46:06This is what I love.
- 46:07You know?
- 46:07Pretty sure she's a sag.
- 46:09And now she has a blog, and she just.
- 46:11She travels all over the world solo, as a female, to prove that, you know, there are certain.
- 46:18Like, she.
- 46:18She does talk about, you know, taking precautions, stuff like that, But.
- 46:20But she.
- 46:21Her thing is, like, look, I'm proving that, like, as a woman, I could see still travel alone, and, like, it's not that, like, big and scary type of thing, you know, like, there's safety measures that you can take.
- 46:31So.
- 46:32Wonderful girl.
- 46:36I love it.
- 46:36I love solo travel.
- 46:38And, like, I went to Mexico and felt really safe there, and a lot of people were worried, so kind of doing the thing anyway is important.
- 46:47Wait, you went to Mexico doing the whole cartel thing?
- 46:52Yeah, I went last year.
- 46:55It was fine.
- 46:56Mexico always has a cartel.
- 46:59They respect tourism there a lot, so they don't really mess up with anyone.
- 47:05It was really safe place.
- 47:10I wanted to show.
- 47:13I wanted to bring this up the day you quit.
- 47:17You quit on September 4, right?
- 47:19Yes, that was my last day.
- 47:21All right, now, do y'.
- 47:25All.
- 47:25Does anything stand out to you guys on this chart?
- 47:29This is the transit of the day she quit.
- 47:34Anything standing out to you guys?
- 47:37Well, I mean, Jupiter was right on top of her.
- 47:40Mercury.
- 47:42In the 7th.
- 47:43All right.
- 47:44Yeah, yeah, in the 7th.
- 47:48Saturn was right on top of Uranus.
- 47:52Right on top.
- 47:55Right on top.
- 47:56She was like, I've had it.
- 47:57Did you quit?
- 47:58Because, like, your boss says something to you?
- 48:01Basically, I was trying to transfer departments, and then I kind of ultimately got, like, pushed out of accounting, so.
- 48:07So it was kind of like a buildup over the summer.
- 48:11So watch this.
- 48:12You quit and then you went and traveled, right?
- 48:15Yes, I took a plane, like, the next day.
- 48:17Yeah.
- 48:18So look, she has.
- 48:20They had a stallion in Virgo that day on Jupiter over her natal Jupiter.
- 48:32And And Mercury.
- 48:36Her.
- 48:36Mercury's in Sagittarius.
- 48:38Right.
- 48:39And.
- 48:40And what.
- 48:40What is Sagittarius?
- 48:43Long distance travel freedom.
- 48:45Yeah, but long distance travel, Right.
- 48:49And that day she quit her job.
- 48:52And matter of fact, look where the.
- 48:54Moon is right on top of her son.
- 48:58And.
- 48:59Which is right there with Mars and Pluto.
- 49:03Yeah.
- 49:04So you.
- 49:04He just.
- 49:05You just got up and you left.
- 49:06You're like, I'm done here.
- 49:08What am I even doing?
- 49:10This is stupid.
- 49:11Let's go.
- 49:12Next.
- 49:15Yeah, and then she went on a long distance journey.
- 49:21That's crazy.
- 49:21Amazing.
- 49:22Now, now watch this.
- 49:25You can't make this stuff up.
- 49:26No, Remember I asked you.
- 49:28Hey, what.
- 49:29What day did you decide?
- 49:31Yeah.
- 49:31August 21st.
- 49:33I declined.
- 49:34I got another offer at my company in another department and I ended up declining it on this day.
- 49:40Yeah.
- 49:41So check out where the moon is in the 12th house on a day.
- 49:52On the day she decided.
- 49:54Look, Mars.
- 49:57Mars was by her Jupiter.
- 50:02Conjunct her natal Jupiter and squaring her natal Mar.
- 50:09Uh, Mercury.
- 50:13Wow.
- 50:14Yeah.
- 50:14And this was.
- 50:15This was the day that.
- 50:16This was with.
- 50:17This was before.
- 50:18This is before she quit.
- 50:21Got it.
- 50:23The day she.
- 50:24And I didn't show you this.
- 50:26But if you look at perfections year, right.
- 50:35From the Ascendant.
- 50:36From the ascendant.
- 50:38She was on a Mercury year, but if you look at perfections from the set set light, she's a night birth.
- 50:48So that'd be the moon.
- 50:49Right.
- 50:51When she quit, she was on the moon year, right.
- 50:56And the day she.
- 50:57When she decided to quit, look at months.
- 50:59She was in.
- 51:02Aries.
- 51:02Mars.
- 51:03Mars.
- 51:04And where is Mars in her chart?
- 51:07And the six daily job.
- 51:10And so when the moon was opposite her stuff in the sixth house, she said.
- 51:16What did you say?
- 51:18What did you say?
- 51:18The 12th house is endings.
- 51:21She was like, I'm done with it.
- 51:22I'm done with this.
- 51:23And it took another couple of weeks until to manifest.
- 51:29Yeah.
- 51:30For her to pull the trigger.
- 51:32Now you asked me a question, Caroline.
- 51:35He was like, wow, How'd you pick that date?
- 51:44Well, let me show you something.
- 51:46You see that date right there?
- 51:48Yes.
- 51:50What sign do you see?
- 51:52Aries.
- 51:53Right?
- 51:53Aries, ruled by Mars rules Mars.
- 51:56Okay.
- 51:58Mars in your 6th House of Daily work and routine.
- 52:05That's so cool.
- 52:06Yeah.
- 52:06It was crazy how you predicted the quit date.
- 52:10Yeah.
- 52:10So on that day, you decided, I'm done with this.
- 52:13And then the moon kept moving around.
- 52:16And then when it got to.
- 52:20When it got to your sixth house.
- 52:22Wait, hold up.
- 52:23When it finally got to the sixth house, You said, I'm done and then.
- 52:32And then on the next day, boom, it be.
- 52:36It was conjunct Jupiter and Mercury, and you took off on a long trip, and it's square her fourth.
- 52:49So she left home and went on a trip.
- 52:53Long trip.
- 52:57Y' all see how I'm putting that together?
- 53:00Yeah, yeah, I see it.
- 53:01I see it.
- 53:02You see that, D?
- 53:05All right.
- 53:06What do you think about that, Caroline?
- 53:10Yeah, I believe it's all set up in the stars.
- 53:13I think it's cool that it all makes sense.
- 53:19All right, well, that was the little fun I wanted to have today.
- 53:25You've been waiting for that?
- 53:26Yeah, I've been waiting for that.
- 53:28So basically, what I was showing you, Caroline, is it was pretty much about time for you to say, I'm done, and make a complete transformation.
- 53:38Not to mention that you have it in you to be a boss girl.
- 53:41Like, you have it in you to be a boss.
- 53:44Don't ever forget that.
- 53:45It's right there in your chart.
- 53:47Yeah, she just has to make amends with this.
- 53:51Yeah.
- 53:51And.
- 53:52And she.
- 53:52And she also has to, you know, understand that, like, you.
- 53:56You require freedom in your life.
- 53:58Like, a lot of freedom.
- 54:00A lot.
- 54:00A lot of freedom.
- 54:01Right.
- 54:01So, like, it's gonna be hard to go back to, like, somebody telling you what to do.
- 54:06Yes, But.
- 54:07But in all actuality, you see, this north.
- 54:12North node is kind of like, yeah,.
- 54:15We have the same north node.
- 54:17Her and I have to make people that, too.
- 54:19Yeah, yeah.
- 54:19But.
- 54:20But you need to do something.
- 54:23And I was about to ask her if.
- 54:25If she sees it now, even though you are working for yourself, doing your own thing, do you see that you still need to bring some of that corporate structure and bring it into your business, your own business?
- 54:46Yeah.
- 54:46I think I struggle with spreading myself too thin, and then if I have nothing on the calendar, not getting anything done, so it helps me to have, like, a lot of appointments, even if.
- 54:56It's just with myself.
- 54:59So I don't know if that answered your question.
- 55:04I actually do the same thing.
- 55:06I'm not gonna lie.
- 55:07Like, the calendar and that has nothing in it that I freak out.
- 55:12But, like, I'll just put things in it.
- 55:14I'm like, okay, at least I'm getting something done.
- 55:17Yes.
- 55:18I love that.
- 55:19Okay, let me restructure the question.
- 55:23Let me ask you this.
- 55:27How do you feel about success?
- 55:32Yeah, I think it's hard for me because, like, I quantify success by the quality of my relationships.
- 55:39And so I think it's hard sometimes running a business because I'm not really motivated by Money, besides to survive.
- 55:46So definitely, like, believing I'm worthy of a successful life is something I still am working on.
- 55:55What would success be to you?
- 55:59Success, I just think, like, when you can go to bed at the end of the night and just say you have a good day, and not being free of anxiety and worry and leaving behind a legacy, something where
- 56:11you're helping serve and love on people.
- 56:13Like, that's definitely what I want the focus of my business to be.
- 56:18I love that answer.
- 56:21Boom.
- 56:22I've been having to reconcile my issues with success, too, because for me, like, for a really long time, I felt like success was measured by how much money I had in my account or, you know, by how great
- 56:33I was doing at my corporate job or whatever, you know, and you.
- 56:37Sometimes you gotta flip it, because money, you can't take that to the grave.
- 56:41Yeah, exactly.
- 56:44You really can't.
- 56:45You can only take, you know, what you've done, like, or what.
- 56:50What you've accomplished or what you feel like, what has made you feel super fulfilled and.
- 56:56And.
- 56:56And purposeful.
- 56:58Really.
- 56:59Wait, success is not a bank account.
- 57:03Nope.
- 57:05Like, my.
- 57:08My inner child used to think that success, you know, was based off of, like, money.
- 57:13But as.
- 57:14As I get older, and.
- 57:15And I realize that you can always get a material object, you know, like, you can.
- 57:21And.
- 57:21And once you get it, it's like, okay, I have it now.
- 57:24What?
- 57:24You know, like, the novelty of it runs away.
- 57:26Like.
- 57:27Like wears off.
- 57:28And then you're like, whatever.
- 57:29Like, this is stupid.
- 57:30You know, definitely, we keep.
- 57:33Like we can keep reaching and reaching forever.
- 57:36Yeah.
- 57:37Yeah, you can keep it.
- 57:39And then what I've realized also, or rather what I'm.
- 57:42What I'm learning right now is that once I no longer want that.
- 57:46That thing, it just.
- 57:48Poof, immediately comes to me.
- 57:50I'm like, wow.
- 57:50But, like, I had to get to the point that I didn't want it anymore, you know, and then here it is, like, parked in my driveway.
- 57:57Yes, the detachment.
- 58:00Yeah, it really is.
- 58:01It's hard.
- 58:02It's.
- 58:02It's not easy, but.
- 58:05But it's.
- 58:05It's all a learning process.
- 58:07But actually, I have a question for you because I.
- 58:10I know that you're a death doula, and I'm not sure if we spoke about this already, but is there, like, something specific that.
- 58:17That is required to.
- 58:18To carry, like, a title like that, or is there like a.
- 58:22I don't know, something that.
- 58:23That.
- 58:24That.
- 58:24That you need in order to.
- 58:25To perform something?
- 58:27I'm not quite sure how it works.
- 58:29Really?
- 58:30Yeah, that's a great question.
- 58:32So there's a few programs online.
- 58:35I did mine through Enelda, which is a nonprofit, and they only started five years ago, back in 2015.
- 58:42But essentially it was like a month long course on Zoom.
- 58:45And typically it's a live class and you would meet multiple times a week and do like visualization exercises, self care, learn about the signs of dying, and then you can go on and get certified and have a certain
- 59:00numbers of hours in hospice if you'd like.
- 59:03But with COVID a lot of people have had trouble with that because you can't get into hospice.
- 59:08I'm not a huge fan of certifications.
- 59:10Like, I don't really care about them.
- 59:11So for me, I'm not pursuing right now.
- 59:17So, yeah, it's pretty accessible.
- 59:19I do have a feeling as it gets more popular, it might become more regulated.
- 59:25But you're not a medical professional, so you have to, with your client that you're more there as an.
- 59:34Right.
- 59:34So.
- 59:34So that was, that was my, my question.
- 59:36I think I probably, like, didn't word that correctly.
- 59:38My mercury doesn't.
- 59:40Mercury retrograde right now is kicking my ass.
- 59:42But, so, yeah, so.
- 59:43So you're.
- 59:44The process is basically like you're.
- 59:46You're helping someone, right?
- 59:47Like, you're kind of helping them let go.
- 59:50Like, like in the final days.
- 59:53Are you there when they take their last breath?
- 59:55Yeah.
- 59:56So, like, you can focus on whatever, whatever area you want.
- 1:00:00For me, like right now, I don't.
- 1:00:02Want to be with someone on their last breath.
- 1:00:04I focus on grief.
- 1:00:05But there are plenty of doulas who are there to plan and then be there with them on their last days and be with the family.
- 1:00:13It's essentially like a psychedelic trip.
- 1:00:15Like, you help, like, set the set and setting.
- 1:00:17Like, do people need to say before entering the room what music is playing?
- 1:00:21Is there incense?
- 1:00:22Are there candles?
- 1:00:23Are there blankets?
- 1:00:24So you're really just like setting up.
- 1:00:26The space and making it a beautiful ritual.
- 1:00:29That's what your client wanted.
- 1:00:31That's that.
- 1:00:32Listen, let me tell you something that's amazing.
- 1:00:34I spoke to my mom a couple of months ago about this because I don't know if you've.
- 1:00:40If you've heard of this pod.
- 1:00:41It's like a visual podcast, it's on Netflix called the Midnight Gospel.
- 1:00:45Yes, I've seen that.
- 1:00:47Yay.
- 1:00:47Okay, great.
- 1:00:48So you already know.
- 1:00:49Did you watch all of it in its entirety?
- 1:00:51I honestly didn't love it, but I.
- 1:00:53Watched the first and the last episodes.
- 1:00:56The last episode is gold.
- 1:00:58It's key and it has a lot to do with death.
- 1:01:01He speaks about death a lot.
- 1:01:02And, and I think part of the reason why he even wrote the show was because he was having a really hard time reconciling with like the death.
- 1:01:09His mom had cancer and she was going to die, and it was really hard.
- 1:01:12And, and he, he goes, he goes really hard on, on how the death industry is like a thing now because, you know, back in the day, people would die on their beds regularly, you know, like, like, and it
- 1:01:26would take the, it would be like a three day thing.
- 1:01:29The whole family would come to visit you, like, and, and, and, and you know, after the body, you know, after you were dead, like, like they would still maintain you on the bed and, and, and they would mourn
- 1:01:37over your body and it wasn't in a casket and take you to the funeral home.
- 1:01:42No, everything was done sort of like in this ceremonial type of way, like in your own home.
- 1:01:48And, and part of, and the whole why I mentioned Midnight Gospel is because he, he kind of, you know, he, he brings up the topic as how like we've lost that, we've lost that touch of like when somebody
- 1:02:00dies, it's kind of like, okay, put them in a box, ship them off, you know, like, you don't, you don't do that whole ritual of like, you know, cleaning the home and, and, and having the family and making
- 1:02:11sure that everything has kind of like, like left with the soul, you know, with the spirit.
- 1:02:17And, and I found that.
- 1:02:20So I, I found so much depth in it.
- 1:02:23And I spoke to my mom about it because she, she also reminded me, she's like, yeah, like, that used to happen a lot.
- 1:02:29Now you just, you go to a funeral home and then you go to the cemetery and that's it.
- 1:02:33But you thinking about doing it?
- 1:02:36Yeah.
- 1:02:37Are you thinking about, are you thinking about being a death doula?
- 1:02:41Well, as a Pisces, the topic of death, I'm not gonna lie, fascinates me.
- 1:02:45And, and I could say that ever since I was a child, I've been thinking about death.
- 1:02:49Not in a morbid sort of way or like, oh, I, I want to die or anything like that, but it's, it's so, it's as important as, as giving as, as when you're, when you, when you're born.
- 1:03:01When my dad died, I was talking to the funeral director.
- 1:03:06She, well, she, her family owned the cemetery.
- 1:03:10She was a Pisces.
- 1:03:13I, I actually thought of, of only a cemetery once or like a funeral home, the funeral home maybe not so much anymore.
- 1:03:20But to me, like, I realized that we don't give death that importance anymore, or I don't know if as a society or as.
- 1:03:27As a human kind, whatever we ever did, I think maybe, like, back in the day, we did, but now somebody dies, and you're just like, you mourn for, you know, a day or two, and then you just put
- 1:03:39it.
- 1:03:39You.
- 1:03:39You write an Instagram post about it, and then you just put it in the back of your mind and you just go on with your life.
- 1:03:43And you forget that you have to go through a process.
- 1:03:46You have to grieve.
- 1:03:47You have to, you know, like, it's.
- 1:03:49It's.
- 1:03:49It's a whole process.
- 1:03:50Just like when a kid is born like you, it's not like, you know, like, I mean, well, we do take the kid home right away, but still, like, I don't know, I guess we've lost touch with, like, a
- 1:04:01lot of ceremonial rituals, especially around the topic of death.
- 1:04:05Do you get to talk to the person that's done?
- 1:04:09Yeah.
- 1:04:09So as a death doula, you are contacting your client and their family.
- 1:04:14And I asked about that.
- 1:04:15How does it work to get hired?
- 1:04:17Is it the person who's dying reaches out or their family member?
- 1:04:20And usually it's both.
- 1:04:21But I do think, kind of going back to what clients Claudia was saying, with death, we avoid it.
- 1:04:27Even the term yolo, you only live once.
- 1:04:29It's like we just don't want to think about it.
- 1:04:32And a huge thing with reconciling death is creating your own meaning.
- 1:04:37So creating the show a minute gospel, that's creating meaning for him.
- 1:04:41So I think that's really important to know.
- 1:04:43It takes work to grieve, and it's a process, and there are no timelines.
- 1:04:48And the five stages of grief are actually for the people dying.
- 1:04:52It was not for the people left behind.
- 1:04:54So it's not like you have five steps.
- 1:04:56People always say that, like, oh, it's denial, anger, bargaining.
- 1:05:01What are the two?
- 1:05:04So denial, anger, bargaining.
- 1:05:06Maybe acceptance is the last one.
- 1:05:08Yeah, I forget the fifth, but people.
- 1:05:12I think acceptance is the fifth, right?
- 1:05:14There's one before acceptance.
- 1:05:16Yeah, maybe.
- 1:05:18All right, so I.
- 1:05:22I heard a.
- 1:05:22Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
- 1:05:27I heard an interview of this lady, and she wrote a book, and I wonder if you.
- 1:05:37The book was.
- 1:05:42Five or ten wishes of the dead of the dying.
- 1:05:49No regrets.
- 1:05:50Regrets.
- 1:05:51It might be regrets or wishes.
- 1:05:54And do you.
- 1:05:57Do you ask any of those, your clients, that?
- 1:06:01Yeah, So I typically work with people grieving.
- 1:06:06I go on guidance Support calls for that.
- 1:06:09So it's usually will have a lot of guilt with their family members who have passed away.
- 1:06:14But I'm not talking to someone who.
- 1:06:16Is about to die.
- 1:06:18Oh, that's.
- 1:06:19That's what I was wondering if you would talk to any people that's about to die.
- 1:06:23No, I haven't yet because I just.
- 1:06:25Got trained in April.
- 1:06:27So I would like to start out focusing on grief, and then if I could get into active dying, that would be great.
- 1:06:33I just feel like the world's depressing enough right now that I don't know if I can handle.
- 1:06:38Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
- 1:06:40So you.
- 1:06:41You.
- 1:06:41You don't really.
- 1:06:42You don't want to be in a room when they actually taking their last birth?
- 1:06:46I don't right now, but I usually change my mind quickly.
- 1:06:52Yeah.
- 1:06:53I'm also not a medical person.
- 1:06:55Like, I get really freaked out by medical stuff and things being weird, so I feel like I would just not really like it.
- 1:07:04Do you have a strong intuition?
- 1:07:08I think it's getting louder, but I feel like a lot.
- 1:07:12I.
- 1:07:12Yeah, I don't always feel it.
- 1:07:15Oh, all right.
- 1:07:16All right, definitely.
- 1:07:19But, but, but you know what I think?
- 1:07:22I.
- 1:07:23I don't know if you.
- 1:07:24Based on her.
- 1:07:24On her chart pause, because she has her personal planets in the 6, but the 12 is like the opposing.
- 1:07:30Right.
- 1:07:31So the 12 would be death.
- 1:07:35Right.
- 1:07:36Do you see that, Paul?
- 1:07:38Yeah,.
- 1:07:40Because I, I would.
- 1:07:41I would think, like, I.
- 1:07:42I know you're a Scorpio, and Scorpio is.
- 1:07:44Yeah, I know all about, like, death or whatever, but in the 12th house, like, you deal with endings and you deal with death a lot.
- 1:07:51So I think it.
- 1:07:53I think it makes a lot of sense that you chose to become a death doula.
- 1:07:58That's really cool.
- 1:08:00So what do you have going on?
- 1:08:03What do you have coming up?
- 1:08:04What do you.
- 1:08:05I mean, do you.
- 1:08:06What do you want to talk to us about?
- 1:08:07Is there anything you want to present us?
- 1:08:10Hmm.
- 1:08:12I guess.
- 1:08:12Like, how do you get started in astrology?
- 1:08:16I'm sure this could be another podcast episode, but how do you kind of move on from just knowing your sun moon rising?
- 1:08:24And how do you dive deeper into this world?
- 1:08:26Work?
- 1:08:27You wanna.
- 1:08:27You wanna answer that, Paul, or you want me to answer?
- 1:08:31Do yourself a favor.
- 1:08:33Find another avenue.
- 1:08:36Don't do it.
- 1:08:38I'm kidding.
- 1:08:38I'm kidding.
- 1:08:39I'm not.
- 1:08:40Because, man, this is a rabbit hole.
- 1:08:45I.
- 1:08:46I will say this.
- 1:08:47I.
- 1:08:48I got into astrology because, like, like, you mentioned your story at 21.
- 1:08:53I got out of a five year relationship that I thought was my entire life, my whole life was planned out for me.
- 1:09:00It was like, you know, I had, I had that, that path set up by my family, my parents.
- 1:09:06And at 21, you know, like my life really changed.
- 1:09:09That relationship changed me.
- 1:09:11And it was the first time that I could actually say like, oh wow, you know, like I'm on my own.
- 1:09:15Who am I now, right?
- 1:09:16And somebody actually introduced me to astrology.
- 1:09:20Like they talked to me about the moon, moon signs and stuff like that.
- 1:09:22And then they're like, oh, you never read your chart?
- 1:09:24And I was like, no, I, I haven't.
- 1:09:25And so they pulled it up for me and cafe astrology had like a 17 page dissertation and I was lost.
- 1:09:33Like I didn't know like who I was, right?
- 1:09:36So I, I just read that 17 pages and I was like, this is impossible.
- 1:09:41That 17 pages could denote me like this better than my mother can, you know.
- 1:09:47And after that I just went really, really into research.
- 1:09:51Like non stop research.
- 1:09:52And to a certain extent I feel like astrologers like kind of get to a point where they want to disprove like the science behind it, that they're like, no, like this can't be it, you know, so I've had
- 1:10:03moments where I'm like, this isn't real, like there's no way.
- 1:10:06But time and time again it just, it shows me that like it is to the table.
- 1:10:11It's crazy.
- 1:10:13How about you D?
- 1:10:15You got any recommendations for Caroline?
- 1:10:20You think she should get into astrology?
- 1:10:23I think everyone should be into astrology.
- 1:10:27I think people should at least know their own chart.
- 1:10:31I found that it's helped me a lot to know my own chart and like, oh, that's why I do this or that's why I do that.
- 1:10:36And even comparing my chart to my spouse's like sinistry stuff, like it helps me understand him more.
- 1:10:45Like, oh, well, his Venus is here and mine is, he has a, he has a fire sign Venus, I have a Capricorn Venus.
- 1:10:54So it's like hot and cold, you know, like this is the way his love language is.
- 1:10:58This is my love language, stuff like that.
- 1:11:01It's just like little things.
- 1:11:02I think everybody should know at least their own chart.
- 1:11:04And if you have a spouse and, and or children, like I think it's helpful to know theirs too.
- 1:11:09Because I can't tell you how many times astrology has helped me.
- 1:11:14Like especially with my older child, she has a lot of air.
- 1:11:17So I have to explain the reason why for everything.
- 1:11:22Like kids need to know why, but she is like, I need a lot.
- 1:11:26I need logic, I need reason.
- 1:11:28Why do we have to do this?
- 1:11:30Why can't we do that?
- 1:11:31Oh, okay, I get it.
- 1:11:33So, yeah, that's how astrology has helped me.
- 1:11:36Is that the question?
- 1:11:38Yeah.
- 1:11:38Well, did you start on cafe astrology?
- 1:11:45Sorry, I've got my toddler and I'm trying to, I'm trying to let your podcast not have baby noises in the background.
- 1:11:53What did you ask me?
- 1:11:54Did you start on cafe astrology?
- 1:11:57No, I started with that, the only astrology book you'll ever need.
- 1:12:04And I guess from there I don't think it was cafe astrology, but it was one of those where you could get your free chart.
- 1:12:13I don't remember which one it was.
- 1:12:14I just know it wasn't cafe astrology because I didn't come upon that until much later.
- 1:12:19All right, I will just tell you this.
- 1:12:23It's a.
- 1:12:24It's a onion.
- 1:12:25It's an onion, layers and layers.
- 1:12:29And once you start peeling back the layers, you just keep going.
- 1:12:38It's never ending.
- 1:12:40So is astrology, is astrology a good topic for you to get into?
- 1:12:45Yes, because you know, you should.
- 1:12:49Everybody, like D just said everybody should know thyself.
- 1:12:54That's why I ended with, in all my posts and stuff with know thyself.
- 1:12:59But should you learn it enough to start doing readings for other people?
- 1:13:07Man, I don't know you all.
- 1:13:09You already have a lot on your plate that you are studying, but it's a, a never ending journey.
- 1:13:22So I advise you to look at, look up all your stuff.
- 1:13:30It's just, I'm just warning you that it's a rabbit hole.
- 1:13:36Yes.
- 1:13:38I love that.
- 1:13:39And do you guys have a prediction for 2021?
- 1:13:43Like what's that year looking like for everyone?
- 1:13:47Or is there a word?
- 1:13:51Well, well, if you ask me, what's been going on with the whole.
- 1:14:01There's a big conjunction going on right now.
- 1:14:06A lot of planets have been retrograde and especially the, the planets that have been in Capricorn, Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter evolving in Capricorn, retrograde for a while.
- 1:14:18And if you look at Capricorn, Capricorn government, its structure, it's, you know, old guard, old structure.
- 1:14:30Yeah.
- 1:14:31And, and if you.
- 1:14:32With Pluto, Pluto is transformation, deep transformation.
- 1:14:37And it's the Phoenix rising out of the ashes.
- 1:14:44And unfortunately, sometimes things, sometimes things have to totally break down before they be get rebuilt.
- 1:14:56And if you look at what's going on right now, do you say, would you say all the traditional stuff is Being broken down right now.
- 1:15:11Well, Astrol Lotta said it.
- 1:15:13She said like, we've had like 200 something years of like planets in like the cycle of Earth signs and stuff like that.
- 1:15:20So now we're going into the air sign cycles.
- 1:15:22Yeah.
- 1:15:23Which is going to bring a lot of changes.
- 1:15:25The changing of the guard is like the best way to put it really is like the old structure has to come down first before we're building the new one.
- 1:15:35Do you see that on the horizon, Caroline?
- 1:15:40Yeah, I see a lot of things changing.
- 1:15:42A lot of topics being discussed that weren't before.
- 1:15:45So I do.
- 1:15:46I feel like we're building a better world, but it's still hard to watch everything get burned down and the pain being experienced.
- 1:15:56Well, you.
- 1:15:57You already went through it.
- 1:16:01What you went through is pretty much what everybody's going through.
- 1:16:07A total, you know, you, you totally.
- 1:16:11You had to quit and walk away to become who you are today.
- 1:16:17Yeah.
- 1:16:17And that's.
- 1:16:18I think that's a benefit for you that you had the, the choice to quit and walk away.
- 1:16:24Where a lot of people are being, you know, laid off.
- 1:16:27Like, forced quit.
- 1:16:28Like, you have to figure out what you're gonna do now.
- 1:16:31Like, you have all this free time and, you know, you're getting your Covid check, so you might as well do something with it, Build something with it or, you know, you gotta.
- 1:16:42You gotta make money somehow.
- 1:16:44Either go back to the corporate job world or, you know, but all your paths.
- 1:16:50I feel like Covid.
- 1:16:51I feel like Covid was like a.
- 1:16:53A blessing for a lot of people because I've spoken to a lot of people that have been like, y.
- 1:16:58Like, yeah, my, I got laid off, but honestly I wasn't really happy and I was already thinking of this or that.
- 1:17:04I've spoken to a lot of people that were so tired of having to go to work every day.
- 1:17:08And then they're like, well, I'm so happy being at home now, you know, like working from home, you know.
- 1:17:14Well, the people who are really tied to structure are having a rough time.
- 1:17:23And the people who are looking at this as a chance to transform and do something different and all of that, they.
- 1:17:32They're probably striving, striving and doing better with this time.
- 1:17:38Now your question is, what do I see for 2021?
- 1:17:43You should see some of this pressure and stuff start to lighten up.
- 1:17:49When does.
- 1:17:49When does Saturn get into.
- 1:17:53It's in November.
- 1:17:54I want to say no.
- 1:17:57In Aquarius?
- 1:17:57Yeah, in Aquarius.
- 1:17:58Yeah.
- 1:17:58At the end of November, we're already there.
- 1:18:00And it's going to be in the conjunction, the big conjunction I believe is happening December 1st, if I'm not mistaken.
- 1:18:08So, so when is Jupiter and, and, and December.
- 1:18:14December.
- 1:18:15I'm looking it up right now.
- 1:18:17That was around the 20.
- 1:18:19Hold on, hold on.
- 1:18:2022Nd.
- 1:18:2122Nd.
- 1:18:23So Saturn occupies the sign of December 17th, 2020.
- 1:18:30So yeah, so around December 17th.
- 1:18:34Yeah, so around December.
- 1:18:35So yeah, so around that time it'll be the, the conjunction with Saturn and Jupiter again.
- 1:18:40Yeah.
- 1:18:40So you, so you start seeing.
- 1:18:45Should start seeing some, some of this tension, kind of lighten up a little.
- 1:18:50A little.
- 1:18:51A little?
- 1:18:51I would say a little.
- 1:18:52Because I feel like there's a lot more coming after this because people.
- 1:18:55Yeah, people are gonna like how you, how you told me once that like the future is free agency.
- 1:18:59As soon as people start figuring that out there could.
- 1:19:03There's gonna be like a massive, like rupture even bigger, you know, I think.
- 1:19:10Well, well, that was, that was a private conversation.
- 1:19:15But now we gotta tell everybody what we talking about, Claudia.
- 1:19:22We're talking about.
- 1:19:23We're talking about what the future economy is going to be like.
- 1:19:27Yeah.
- 1:19:28And the future economy is going to be free agents.
- 1:19:32Free agency.
- 1:19:33Yeah.
- 1:19:33Pretty much self ownership.
- 1:19:36Yeah.
- 1:19:37Hired guns.
- 1:19:40Yeah.
- 1:19:40So in all actuality, Caroline, to be totally honest with you, you're ahead.
- 1:19:47You might not be done with accounting.
- 1:19:53Oh, damn.
- 1:19:53Just yet, but you can totally make it your own business, girl.
- 1:19:58Exactly.
- 1:20:00As in a hired gun.
- 1:20:03Guess what?
- 1:20:03I guess what I just became last month.
- 1:20:07Caroline Attack.
- 1:20:11No, a hired gun.
- 1:20:13I had a corporate job that I was let go of in.
- 1:20:17Was it 2017?
- 1:20:21Three years, right?
- 1:20:23Yeah.
- 1:20:24And I just got called back, got a call to do the job that I was doing, but from home as an independent contractor.
- 1:20:34Cool.
- 1:20:35Love it.
- 1:20:37Which helps out with this I am Astrology podcast and all of that stuff.
- 1:20:45Takes a lot more pressure off of that.
- 1:20:48You see what I'm saying?
- 1:20:50So where is the economy going?
- 1:20:55You know, whatever you, whatever skill you've been doing or, or acquired all these years, learn, figure out a way to package that and sell it.
- 1:21:11Yep, that's exactly, that's exactly what's happening.
- 1:21:15We're seeing it already.
- 1:21:16We're seeing it already in social media.
- 1:21:18We're seeing it already with like, you know, like lifestyle bloggers, like everybody just kind of monetizing on what they know.
- 1:21:27I think I read about it in Forbes one time.
- 1:21:29It's.
- 1:21:30It's called the passion economy.
- 1:21:33Yeah.
- 1:21:33Everybody kind of like making money doing their passion.
- 1:21:40I love that.
- 1:21:41Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 1:21:43But to do that you have to make that transition that you are fighting with now.
- 1:21:49Caroline, the the how to go from making that corporate check to half of that or not even quarter of that and still live and be happy.
- 1:22:09Yeah, I definitely struggle with that.
- 1:22:11I thought about just like I could just do quickbooks for a few people and make good money but that's.
- 1:22:17That would be free.
- 1:22:18Free agent.
- 1:22:19Yeah.
- 1:22:20I don't know.
- 1:22:20I just.
- 1:22:21It sounds boring to me.
- 1:22:22But also there's the trade off of do I want to work and get paid a lot or work more for my passion but get paid less?
- 1:22:31So let me know because I was.
- 1:22:33An accountant too,.
- 1:22:36Man.
- 1:22:37By the way.
- 1:22:38By the way, when you are doing, when you are a free agent, it's hey, not, not sitting in the office from 8 to 5 until you do that duty and then you done and walk away.
- 1:22:50So it's a little different.
- 1:22:52That's true.
- 1:22:54Just something to think about.
- 1:22:56So before we end this, is there anything you want to tell us or.
