0:31
medium, carry mugs, and this week we are going to talk about our
0:35
spiritual journey. But first we're gonna do a little bit of housekeeping. I
0:38
do have an event coming up in July, but it's already sold out,
0:42
so I'm going to create another event. And these events are platform events,
0:46
so are gallery events. I'll get up and I'll do readings. Right now,
0:50
I'm doing just this in person. I guess I could try one online,
0:57
but right now I'm doing in person once. But I could try one
0:59
online. So watch watch for my newsletters to see if I'm going to do
1:03
one online, because I might do one online. And also to you,
1:04
I have a manifesting class coming up. This one is in person, this
1:07
manifesting workshop, and this one's been so fun. I loved the Spirit Guides
1:12
one and I love stepping into your power, but I'm this one is one
1:17
of my favorite, one of my favorite manifesting. I love, I love
1:22
anything about manifesting. I used to tell people that manifesting wasn't my strongest gift,
1:26
but I am. I am like bound. I'm one of those people
1:30
that is like bound and determined to like figure it out, like I like
1:34
puzzle pieces. That's why I like reading so much, because I'm like,
1:36
I want to figure this out. I want to like figure figure it out.
1:40
So manifesting, I'm going to start kind of figuring it out, and
1:42
I want you to come along with me on this manifesting journey because I'm gonna
1:47
do it. I'm gonna get aligned and do it. And so manifesting everything
1:55
that I've learned about manifesting, and I've pretty much manifested a pretty good spiritual
1:57
business and and abundance and things that I want. I don't. I'm not
2:05
super picky and I'm not super like you know, yeah, I don't need
2:10
a whole bunch, but I'm pretty simple. But it's been kind of a
2:14
cool journey. So speaking of journeys. I think that's about it for housekeeping.
2:19
I kept it. I kept the events kind of low this month because
2:23
one of my daughters is getting married, and also too, I have a
2:27
son who they're having, they're expecting, and this is all happening at the
2:30
same time. And the baby does have a little bit. I think she's
2:36
told everybody, so I think it's okay, has a heart a heart thing
2:40
that's going on that they're going to have to watch. Everything's okay, the
2:44
baby's okay as long as the baby's inside the womb, but as soon as
2:47
the baby's born, they're gonna need to like do some sort of heart surgery.
2:53
And anyways, I'm gonna let them share if they want to share that
2:57
part. But the reason why I'm telling you is because June and July this
3:01
summer's gonna be pretty pretty crazy because I am going to be doing events and
3:07
readings and adding some more stuff on top of that, but also too,
3:10
family wise, I have a wedding coming up in August and a baby,
3:15
a baby that needs lots of attention coming up in August too, So here
3:21
we go. It's gonna be fun, right, And speaking of all of
3:23
this stuff, it kind of leads us to our own spiritual journeys right our
3:30
own spiritual journeys. And I kind of really don't know what to say on
3:34
this. It's just because I mean, I know what to say. I
3:38
just it's not planned out. Because everybody's journey is different, and in this
3:43
world we come, we sometimes think that they all have to be the same,
3:46
or we have to be like somebody else, especially in this world of
3:52
social media. We follow people, we follow influencers, we follow Hollywood,
3:57
We follow people, and we follow because they make us laugh, or because
4:01
they have something we want or we want to be like them. But we
4:05
have to realize that sometimes this can hurt our own journey because it takes away
4:13
our authenticity. It takes away who we are. I notice that if I
4:16
get too involved in following other mediums or other businesses or other people even and
4:25
I get too involved and I get to if I get too wrapped up in
4:29
oh, I need to be like that. They're doing this, so I
4:30
need to do this they're doing. It causes me so much anxiety because I
4:35
think that I think I have to be like that. And I do remember
4:41
when I was doing this with some of my you know, other businesses.
4:47
Like when I was doing some beach body coaching, I compared myself to other
4:50
coaches because I thought I had to be like that or I had to be
4:54
like this, and I find myself when I do it with mediumship, I
5:00
get wrapped up in what I'm supposed to be like and what my readings are
5:02
supposed to look like. And I did a reading last Friday that was amazing
5:08
to me, and it was my own. It was my own turn on
5:13
things I didn't I didn't want to copy anybody. I don't want to try.
5:16
Copying is like they say, it's like the best form of flattery.
5:19
But at the same time, it's like do your own stuff, right,
5:24
like and all these mediums like have this thing and I'm not saying it's bad,
5:28
because it's totally good, like that's how they but you kind of like,
5:30
do the platform readings, do the galleries, do the classes, do
5:33
all that stuff, And so I kind of think, well, that's what
5:35
I'm supposed to do next, right or they go into paranormal or they go
5:40
into and sometimes that's not what I that's not the season for what I'm supposed
5:46
to do right now, right now, it's okay to be simple and just
5:49
do readings, or if I want to do a gallery reading every once in
5:54
a while, I can. It doesn't mean I have to do it consistently.
5:59
And if I want to do something else, I can, or I
6:00
can do something completely different. I can do something completely different than any other
6:05
medium, and I could thrive on that, right, because we get so
6:10
wrapped up in like take what you want to be, and you feel like
6:14
you have to do what others are doing. And it's okay to have mentors,
6:17
and it's okay to look at people and say, okay, do I
6:20
want that? Or do want do I not want that? My problem is
6:24
is sometimes I look at people and think, Okay, that's my next move,
6:27
That's what I'm supposed to do, when in reality, my journey is
6:30
my own. I get to create whatever the hell I want to do,
6:33
right, and same with you. Your journey is your own. I remember
6:38
when I went to I spent a lot of money on a class and I
6:46
was like they were like, Okay, this is how you're supposed to do
6:47
your readings this way in this way, and I'm like, that's not how
6:49
I do mine. And I don't want to do mine that way that seems
6:54
so organized, it seems so it doesn't seem to come from the heart.
6:58
It seems like a check. And I don't want to do it like that,
7:01
and so I do my own way, and I must be doing something
7:05
right right because and I'm not like here to to my own horn. I'm
7:10
just telling you that you are your own person and your spiritual journey is your
7:15
own and you follow your own compass, and it's good to like kind of
7:18
set, you know, have mentors and see what it is that maybe you
7:24
want to be like in your business or even in your own like life,
7:29
like even if it's being a mom. For a long time, that's what
7:32
my journey consisted of, is being a mom. Nothing else, didn't work,
7:36
didn't do anything else. I just was a mom and that was my
7:39
purpose for that time. We all have more than one purpose, and I
7:44
think we get really caught up on having our purpose be extraordinary or life changing
7:49
or and it's life changing for us, right, but it doesn't have to
7:54
be life changing for other people. Well it is for if you're a mom,
7:57
you're already life changing. You are already like changing other people's lives that
8:01
are around you. Without even really knowing knowing it. I think what happens
8:05
is we get caught up in that we have to stand out or we have
8:07
to like be different than we do have to be different, but like we
8:13
have to stand out, or we have to be the best, or we
8:16
have to you know, I'm not even really sure. But if you're anything
8:20
like me, I always wanted straight as I have to, like I don't
8:24
have to be the best, but I always wanted to be good, really
8:28
good. And that's okay. But sometimes we put really hard expectations on ourselves
8:33
and we put really sometimes just being us is the best, right, just
8:41
being who we are is the best, and just being where we are in
8:46
this moment is the best. And right now you could be in a really
8:52
awesome moment where you're on top of the world and things are great, and
8:56
right now you could be at a bottom of the bottom moment and things seem
9:01
really really hard. And I'm going to tell you something about right now,
9:05
this is going to pass. Every moment passes. We're like water, and
9:09
no water in a river is always is ever in again at the same place.
9:13
Right We're always flowing, always changing, always turning corners, and whether
9:18
you're on top of the top, or in the middle or at the bottom.
9:22
This will pass because we're always growing and we're always learning, and we're
9:26
always If you're comfortable and you're pretty stagnant and you've been in the same place
9:31
for years and years, then there's no growth in that. I'm not saying
9:35
that's a bad thing. You could decide that that's what you want in this
9:39
lifetime. You just want to be comfortable and easy, peasy, and you
9:41
just want to ride it out, And that's totally fine too. But sometimes
9:46
there's always some sort of like loss or grief or trauma or something that rocks
9:54
your world, and it can be a good thing or a bad thing,
9:58
and every one of us has to go through it, and this spiritual journey
10:01
right all of us. The one thing I want you to know, though,
10:05
is your path is individual. Your journey is individual. It's not supposed
10:09
to be like somebody else's. And your kids's journey is not supposed to be
10:13
like yours. And your journey is not supposed to be like your parents,
10:16
and your journey isn't supposed to be like every other mom out there. It's
10:22
so hard for me when and I do this so that's why it's so hard.
10:26
But when we compare ourselves to like other moms, other parents, other
10:30
employees, other you know, other people, we just compare ourselves all the
10:35
time and when reality, we're just doing the best we can on this spiritual
10:39
journey. We're not supposed to be the same. We're like snowflakes. We're
10:43
all different, and we've got to find the beauty in that. We've got
10:48
to find the beauty and not trying to be the norm and not trying to
10:52
be like everybody else and doing it like everybody else, because how are you
10:56
going to stand out if you're like everybody else? Like, the beauty is
11:01
not being like everybody else, and your spiritual journey isn't supposed to be like
11:05
everybody else's, which is fine, right because I have friends who want their
11:09
spiritual journey to be all about the ocean, all about like let's say you're
11:13
taking a tour and you're on a trail. I have lots of friends who
11:16
want their spiritual journey to be on a beach and just walking by the ocean.
11:20
I want my spiritual journey to be in the mountains, in the woods,
11:24
in a cabin, in you know, and that's just the scenery,
11:30
right, Like I want my spiritual journey to be different than somebody else's,
11:35
But for a long time, I thought I had to be similar. I
11:39
thought, if I wanted to be like everybody else, or if I wanted
11:41
to be as good as this person, or if I wanted to be as
11:45
pretty as this girl, if I wanted to be you know, how many
11:48
times in your lifetime have you like tried to be like somebody else because of
11:52
a relationship, Like you think that, like your boyfriend broke up with you
11:56
in high school to date somebody else, and then you wanted to be like
11:58
that person. Or you start a business and you pattern your business after another
12:05
company, and you want it to be as successful as that, which is
12:09
great, But you are your own individual person and if you are starting a
12:15
business, you just need to align with that. And what I would find
12:18
sometimes is, you know, I didn't really start out being a medium wanting
12:22
to start a business. I just wanted to help people and do readings,
12:26
and it just went from one thing to another and it led into a business.
12:28
And I'm not great at the business part. I'm not gonna lie I
12:33
like to do, you know, the readings, and sometimes I do like
12:37
the business part. It just depends on what kind of phase I'm in when
12:41
I'm on my journey. And sometimes I just like to stand back and be
12:43
with my family and every you know, I start the year with all these
12:48
great intentions and all these things and all this like this is how it's going
12:52
to be. But then the year continues and things happen and it changes.
13:00
Have plans, and you have all these great plans, which is great because
13:01
that's great for manifesting. You want to plan it out, you want to
13:05
build the path, you want to start the GPS on your journey or on
13:09
this compass course. But sometimes you get thrown off the path, right,
13:13
And that's not by it's not by coincidence, it's not by accident. Sometimes
13:18
I think it's so funny because I set, and I plan, and I
13:22
do all this stuff for my life or my family life, or my business
13:24
life or my personal life. And then sometimes spirit comes in and says,
13:28
this is great, Oh my gosh, but we're going to change it up
13:31
in here. And then I get sidetracked and then I get it just changes.
13:35
But you know what, when I realize that I need to be in
13:39
the now, and I need to be focused on the now, then the
13:43
journey is better. The journey is I have to not be so focused on
13:50
the outcome of the journey. I can know what my goals are and I
13:54
can know what I want the outcome to be. But sometimes spirit has a
13:56
different vision, right, and sometimes we follow that and it's okay. It's
14:03
okay to be like, I'm going to go down this path and then you
14:05
see another path and you're like, oh wait, this path looks fun too,
14:09
so I'm gonna try this one. It's okay. That's what we're here
14:13
on this virtual journey to do is to experience experience these things. And we
14:20
can't experience different things if we're so much into wanting to be like somebody else.
14:26
And so that's what I kind of did this year. I kind of
14:30
like, I looked at my business and I thought, Okay, my next
14:33
wave is this, because this is what they're doing, and so this is
14:37
what I need to do. And what happened is I was just doing what
14:41
I was thinking I was supposed to do, and I got super depressed and
14:48
I got out of alignment and I lost my authenticity for a minute. And
14:56
when I realized that that wasn't my journey and I needed to do what I
15:03
wanted to do and what I thought was authentic. And at the end of
15:05
the day, it didn't matter what anybody else did, it didn't matter what
15:09
other mediums did, it didn't matter what other spiritual intuitives did. It's what
15:15
I wanted to do is what's important. And so sometimes we get caught in
15:18
that, and you know, I probably will again. I'll probably get on
15:22
this thing about oh I got to do better, I got to do I
15:24
gotta get a's and so I got to do what everybody else is doing.
15:28
And instead of taking a step back and thinking, this is what's important and
15:33
Friday, you know, last week I did, I was This has been
15:37
a May. It was a crazy, crazy, crazy month with mental health.
15:41
And it's so crazy because it's mental health month, right, it was
15:45
mental health month and all this stuff. Our community went through lots of stuff
15:48
and mental health wise, and when you think you're not above it, but
15:56
when you think, oh, I'm good, I got this, then something
15:58
comes and not you flat on your butt and you realize I don't got this
16:06
all the time, and I don't you know, always know what I'm doing,
16:11
I can think I know what I'm doing, but sometimes I lose.
16:14
You lose your vision or your alignment or the path. You get off the
16:19
path for a minute. You see this beautiful flower while you're on your path
16:22
and you go get it, and sometimes it's hard to get back on the
16:25
path. So always check in and see what makes you happy on this journey
16:32
and what makes you brings you joy. Because if you're just doing things because
16:37
that's what everybody else is doing, and you're just doing things because you see
16:41
it on social media that you're supposed to do it that way, You're supposed
16:44
to think a certain way. You're supposed to think this way because everybody on
16:48
social media tells you you're supposed to You're supposed to run your business this way
16:52
because everybody on social media tells you you're supposed to. Social media is great,
16:56
but at the same time, it can be so damaging to your authenticity
17:00
and it can be so damaging to your own self. So if you are
17:03
struggling with being aligned or being authentic, I suggest you take a social media
17:10
break and if you get triggered by things that you see on social media,
17:15
block it for a little bit. It doesn't mean you don't like them.
17:18
It just means that you got to watch out for your own mental health and
17:21
your own mental capacity. And if they don't understand, then that's it's not
17:26
your problem, really, it's not. It's that you got to live on
17:30
your path and you be your own authentic self and be you. And I
17:34
preach and preach and preach this all the time, and then I find myself
17:37
falling off the path and falling out of alignment and falling out of the you
17:42
know, the because if the world had at its way, I would be
17:48
doing multiple galleries all the time, gallery readings, I would be doing multiple
17:52
classes constantly. I would be doing plus the three readings a day that I
17:56
do. And that's just not doable. It's not doable when you have other
18:03
priorities like a big family, and you just do the best you can,
18:08
right Like, And I see some people that are like, so hustle,
18:11
hustle, hustle to make your business run or so like this is how you
18:18
know, and it's just really hard because you've got to only go with the
18:22
speed that you can go. And I'm talking a lot, as you can
18:26
probably tell. For me, it's probably it is business associated with this,
18:30
because but my business and me are so much a part of each other.
18:33
And I think maybe that's the mistake that I made, is that I made
18:37
the business what I do so much a part of me because it's it's a
18:41
spiritual thing too, that it is who I am and it is where I
18:45
built my self worth and it is where and maybe you are falling into that
18:52
too, and maybe you don't. Because there's a lot of people out there
18:55
that can keep their jobs and their personal life separate. And I love that
19:00
because that's something I didn't I that I'm learning how to do because my job
19:06
is such a spiritual thing and I feel like sometimes it's part of my spiritual
19:11
growth, and I connect my business to who I am and my spiritual well
19:15
being. Where there's lots of people out there that can just do spiritual growth
19:18
and not have to worry about it their business right and be involved in their
19:22
business. Where I feel like my business or my growth my spiritual growth depends
19:27
on each other, and it doesn't. And so I'm kind of getting way
19:32
off track. So if you're out there and you're a spiritual entrepreneur, this
19:34
probably resonates with you. If you are not kind of good for you.
19:38
Good for you that you can keep it separate, right, good for you,
19:41
but also too, your spiritual growth has to do with your journey and
19:45
how you grow and how who you want to become. And we want we
19:51
think we watch the people of who we want to be. If we want
19:55
to be like somebody we watch we see influencers, or we see things on
19:59
social media and you want that or you want to become that. But sometimes
20:02
it's just a good idea to turn it off and be who we want to
20:06
be without that. I was thinking, and I'm not down. I'm not
20:11
I'm not Like social media is a great thing, but not at the expense
20:15
of your mental health, right, like, not when you're and maybe some
20:18
of you out there are just like, I don't know what she's talking about.
20:21
I have no clue because I don't compare myself to others. Good for
20:23
you, dude, good for you. You've got teach me. You need
20:27
to start a business, teaching classes on how how people can do that.
20:32
And a lot of it has to do with confidence. And but every single
20:33
one of us out there, I don't care how confident you are, has
20:37
been times when you've been scared and has been it has been fearful. So
20:45
I guess what I'm trying to tell you is honor your journey, and honor
20:49
your uniqueness, and honor your individuality because being normal is not I mean being
20:59
I don't even know what normal is, right, but being like other people
21:03
is kind of not courageous. I mean, how do I want to say
21:07
that being different and being you is being brave. That's being brave, even
21:12
if it doesn't fit with the majority. You don't have to think or do
21:18
the way others do because they do it. And I tell this story all
21:22
the time about the pan, about the newlyweds that got married, and they
21:29
she was cooking a ham and she cut the ham in halfed and he said,
21:33
why are you doing that? She's like, I don't know. That's
21:34
what my mom did. And so they go to the mom and they're like,
21:37
why did you do that? She said, I don't know. I
21:38
cut the ham in half because my mom did. And they go to grandma
21:41
and they say, why did you do that? She said, because it
21:44
didn't fit in the pan. So be different. Put the whole ham in
21:48
the damn pan. Fit your whole ham in there? Do it? Have
21:53
fun and be fun and don't take it so serious, because yes, there
21:59
is growth, and there's grief, and there is loss, and there is
22:02
there's struggle, but there's happiness and joy. And be the one that wants
22:07
to create the fun. I write down in my journal every day, I
22:11
create fun and I create joy, even days that I think that I can't.
22:17
So stand up and be your own damn self, be the whole damn
22:22
ham. Just do it, do it and have fun doing it and don't
22:26
care. There's that. I don't know if you guys know, I love
22:33
the show. I don't even know the name of it. Now, isn't
22:37
that funny? The Witches, the no I keep saying, Hope floats because
22:41
I have Sandra bulloking of it. It's not It's practical magic, my favorite.
22:45
I watch it every Halloween. And the Ants, the Antswers. They
22:52
say this quote that I post on my social media quite a bit that being
22:56
being normal is kind of not being who you are. I don't even know.
23:03
I don't even know exactly what it says. I need to look for
23:06
it, but it's just kind of it's just kind of not sorry. I'm
23:15
like looking at my tech, my phone as I'm recording because my husband's texting
23:18
me. Just be you be individually, be yourself and love it. Love
23:25
who you are. You don't have to be like anybody else. You don't
23:26
have to be like anybody else on social media. Just love who you are
23:30
and enjoy your spiritual journey and put your compass. You can put it north,
23:36
south, east, or west. You don't always have to go north.
23:38
Make your own compass. Don't follow somebody else's because that's what you think.
23:41
You have to do. Create your own compass. This is your own
23:45
spiritual journey, with your own guides, your own ancestors, your own stuff.
23:49
This is what you created, your own blueprint. Your blueprint is different
23:55
than everybody else's. So you created this spiritual journey. Now you need to
23:59
honor it. And the way you honor it is you be authentic to who
24:02
you are, and you do you, You be you, and you fulfill
24:07
yourself with joy and love, and just know that. I know it's hard
24:11
sometimes and it sounds easier than it is, but you know what, you
24:14
guys, it's so worth it, and it's hard. It's hard to get
24:17
there because we so much want to be like everybody else. We so much
24:18
want to be like the collective, but we need to stand out and be
24:22
ourselves because the world needs you. The world needs your own magic, the
24:26
world needs what you brought here, and you can't do that if it's like
24:30
everybody else's. So I love you guys so much. I hope this help,
24:34
and please I have like lots of interviews coming up because I've setting them
24:38
all up. It's going to be cool. One's going to be about Akashic
24:41
Records. I'm even gonna have my husband on and we're going to have a
24:45
special guest about grief coming up. So stay tuned and know that this is
24:49
going to be good. This is going to be good because this is what
24:52
I love. I want you to know who you are, and I want
24:56
you to know who you worth is and I want to be here every week
24:57
telling you and remind that you have everything that you need inside of you.
25:03
I love you, guys so much. I mean it, and I'll talk
25:04
to you next week.
