SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to tonight's episode.
0:41
SPEAKER_01: Thank you for that commercial break.
0:42
SPEAKER_01: For those of you that needed to grab a beverage or use the restroom, you had your moment and we are back.
0:50
SPEAKER_01: Jen was sharing with us the most amazing story of her awakening, or I like the term use, remembering better.
1:00
SPEAKER_01: And so she she finished up by saying that nothing prepared her for this awakening.
1:09
SPEAKER_01: And she came home and it was like, well, well, now what?
1:12
SPEAKER_01: And we had finished out our conversation on that, talking about like this happens all the time.
1:17
SPEAKER_01: We go on these spiritual retreats and do these courses, and you're like, I get this, I love this, it's wonderful and blissful.
1:24
SPEAKER_01: And then you get into typical everyday life, and you're like, oh, I don't know how to make these two things work together.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: So how how did you make them work together?
1:41
SPEAKER_01: And what would be your piece of advice for people?
1:45
SPEAKER_01: Because I know lots of people watching this are learning different things.
1:49
SPEAKER_01: I know myself, I've been jumping into things like the Akashic Records and Human Design.
1:53
SPEAKER_01: And then it's like I get into my real life and I'm like, wait, how do I do this again?
1:59
SPEAKER_00: Well, for me, I think it was a divine accident.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: Um, and the mission to keep my head above water and everything else that I was doing, because I was still um in the midst of trying to solve being codependent and doing, doing, doing, doing, doing.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: I still have the crown, it's over there somewhere.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, so with all of that doing, I would go into like swinging like a pendulum from my divine feminine to my divine masculine, and I'd be all yummy and goddessy, and then I'd be like doo-doo, do do do do do, which was a natural coping mechanism for me.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: I would just plunge and collect and collect modalities and things, and um, that's my natural go-to.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm a geek by nature, and and I dive into things, but it wasn't a healthy way to approach things.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: So, what I started doing is is balancing it out because once a year was not good enough.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna self-destruct with all of the all of the things on my to-do list.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: So I started just weaving little things in, and that kept me happy enough, right?
3:07
SPEAKER_00: It kind of gave me little taste, and then I'd get used to that and I'd do a little bit more and a little bit more.
3:13
SPEAKER_00: So, what happened is I started integrating and weaving the magic into everyday life.
3:20
SPEAKER_00: And I call it moonday on purpose because I I don't like who likes doing laundry and mopping floors and doing dishes.
3:31
SPEAKER_00: I do not, but if I get playful with it, um I can get through it and actually almost enjoy it.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: So, like moon came about because I would make moon water for our family and I would charge it and give it um these fierce intentions, and then I started mopping the house with the water and cleaning the countertops with the water.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: And it ended up, I was like bewitched.
3:56
SPEAKER_00: I was like just going through the house doing these things, and the energy and the vibration just kept going up, up, up, up, up.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: Whereas before I would be grumbling and going through the motions of why I have so much to do and nobody was helping, and and and you know, it turned into the nagggy grumpy old woman.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: And so by me just fusing everything together, I started realizing it's not a spiritual life, a work life, a marriage life, a this, a that.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: I have one life.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: And I don't have to pick and choose.
4:32
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I love it.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: That is still, I still play with it.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: I attach intentions and magic to every task throughout my day.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I should have introduced you by you will recognize Jen by her signature red lip of enchanted lipstick.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: I that is something I love that you do.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: I might have to send you some lipsticks to enchant and send back to me because I love that.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I like that too.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and it and that was part of that survival of me wanting more of what I was getting when I would go hang out with my sacred sisters or my priestess circle or going to those retreats, the gathering of the shamans, and all the things that had me like just feeling so good.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: It was those little things.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm doing all these tasks all day long, anyways.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: It didn't take any extra time.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: And that was the thing.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: Because so many of us say there's no time, or I'll get to it when, right?
5:36
SPEAKER_00: When he's in fourth grade, I'll have more time, or when he's in fifth grade, I'll have more time.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: No, never happen.
5:41
SPEAKER_00: We have the time now.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: We we take the time, and time is such a we have to build this relationship, this new relationship with time that we always have time.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: It's how we prioritize.
5:54
SPEAKER_00: And so every habit that I have has become a ritual, and that keeps life interesting.
6:02
SPEAKER_00: And that's everything that's the showers, the baths, the nighttime activities, everything.
6:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that gives me goosebumps, and I think that is magic right there.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: When things go from being a habit to becoming a sacred ritual, life changes for you.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: It shifts, and it just feels good.
6:22
SPEAKER_01: Feels good to make your bed, or you know, do I love doing laundry, which I used to hate and loathe and not want, but now it's become a very sacred practice for me.
6:37
SPEAKER_01: It is, it's it's the the smells of the soap and the folding in such a way, you know.
6:43
SPEAKER_01: I like to do that like Marie Kondo where you're folding everything into nice little squares or rectangles and like stacking them in.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: But it's it is like a ritual for me.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, it can be meditative too.
6:56
SPEAKER_00: So if people will get past the task and the chore and turn it into a ritual, a lot of the things that are like just repetitive and we grumble about can actually be a part of our gratitude or our meditation practices as well.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's a really good piece of advice right there, too.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: Um when we're when we're engaging in these activities.
7:21
SPEAKER_01: So let's say you have a big sink full of dishes to wash, and that's probably still one of my less favored, you know, activities.
7:30
SPEAKER_01: It's not grumble grumble, I have to wash all these dishes, but I am so blessed to have food enough to create a sink full of dishes in a day.
7:41
SPEAKER_01: And isn't my family blessed?
7:43
SPEAKER_01: And I'm so grateful.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: So grateful.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: And the other fun thing is, and this is just something I do because I geek out on just coming up with affirmations and intentions and attaching them to habits that become rituals, but I'll use that and I'll play with the words.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: Whatever was going on in that day, if it was a stressful day, I might wash and scrub the hell out of those dishes and be like, I'm scrubbing away the stress, I'm scrubbing away the frustration.
8:11
SPEAKER_00: And now it becomes very purposeful.
8:16
SPEAKER_00: And washing that stress right down the drain and actually seeing it and feeling it release from my body.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: And it sounds silly and ridiculous, and I know that, but it works.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: Just try it and then and then we can talk.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: Then we can talk.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: No, it's perfect.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: It's making me think of um, I don't, I can't remember.
8:33
SPEAKER_01: I think it's um it's a play where they sing about washing, wash that man right out of my hair.
8:39
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna man right out of my hair.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, I told you it's gonna, we're gonna be geeking out and nerding out all over the place here.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: So just prepared for Kelly to break into tunes at any moment.
8:52
SPEAKER_01: Can I love that?
8:54
SPEAKER_00: You don't want to hear me sing, we'll scare people away.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: You sing, I'll dance.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: Perfect, perfect.
9:01
SPEAKER_01: That is a good combo right there.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: So let's go over to another area of life that we share, and that's being a mom and a boy mom.
9:12
SPEAKER_01: So, for all the parents out there, the moms and the dads, how do you bring more sacredness to your relationships with your children with all the things that we have to accomplish between school and homework and baths and bedtimes?
9:27
SPEAKER_01: And what is like your trick for making it really special and really intentional?
9:33
SPEAKER_00: Well, Aiden has grown up with me being me.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: So he doesn't really know any different, to be honest.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: Like he was receiving Reiki when he was still in the crib, you know.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: So he knows and understands energy.
9:48
SPEAKER_00: But for people who are new to this path or are new to introducing it into their household, into their their homes, there's easy and fun things to do.
9:57
SPEAKER_00: Um, I like to drum and rattle and make noise.
10:01
SPEAKER_00: And if you think about it, that's old-fashioned fun when we were kids.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know how many of you I might be dating myself, but used to do the wooden spoon in the pan in the kitchen.
10:11
SPEAKER_00: Well, what's beautiful about that is one, it entertains them.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: And two, it is sound therapy.
10:18
SPEAKER_00: So what we're doing is we're disrupting the energy patterns in the house and in our physical bodies, and that helps relieve that stagnant energy or the stress of the day for them and for us.
10:30
SPEAKER_00: Now, that's so important for kids at any time, but I think definitely in this time that we're going through, I know my kiddo is going through lots of anxiety with school and stress and not being able to be around kids and so much.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: So it was really great to be able to do sound, and we do sound all the time.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: Now, I have all kinds of instruments, but if you don't, it's so easy just to make shakers out of recyclables, put some hard beans and rice and a plastic bottle and let them be a part of it.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: And I use that, you know, I used to homeschool.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: So I'll pull in little teachings that go with um whatever, wherever we are in the calendar, right?
11:09
SPEAKER_00: And make it a fun experience.
11:11
SPEAKER_00: We just came out of uh Halloween, so I'll go into the culture of Day of the Dead, and we made that that's a family activity for me that I love.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: We talk about our ancestors, we tell stories, they're people he's never met, but he knows them.
11:26
SPEAKER_00: And we can tie that in.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Disney's actually stepped it up on some of the movies of tying things in.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: So, like the movie Coco was fantastic about teaching that cultural element of it.
11:37
SPEAKER_00: So there's all kinds of fun things like that.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: Um, we do meditation in his own little way.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: We do fire breathing for relaxation.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: There's um great videos, I'll be happy to share with anybody if you reach out to me.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: There's one of a puffer fish that teaches them how to do deep breathing.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful visual for younger children.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Um, just really fun, easy, simple things.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: But for me, it's it's music and movement are the two easiest ones.
12:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I agree.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: And it and it's it's it's entertaining for them.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: And I I love that because it's also like you're pulling in education, like education doesn't have to just happen between nine and three, it can be happening in any moment in your home.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: I love it all the time.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, pulling in those other things too, gratitude, allowing them to understand that that's a part of our nighttime routine.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: And it also helps me get to the inside feelings of him.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: What was I always asking, like, what was something awesome that happened to you today?
12:35
SPEAKER_00: What was something that made you proud of yourself today?
12:38
SPEAKER_00: What was something really silly you did today, instead of what did you learn at school today?
12:43
SPEAKER_00: And asking him things because then he goes to bed feeling good about himself.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: And that's a real fun thing for me.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: I'll ask him what he was, you know, grateful for, but I ask it in a different way.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: It might be the ice cream Sunday, and that's okay.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: You know, it might be that he beat a level in Minecraft.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: That's usually the kinds of things that he'll say, but it's getting him in the habit of being aware of things that made him feel uplifted.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we have one practice that we don't do all the time anymore, but when he's going to sleep, you know, we always read books.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: I think that's like such a great way to engage your kids.
13:24
SPEAKER_01: But um, I've always sang to my son.
13:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't sing to him as much now.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: You know, he's starting to sort of learn how to fall asleep on his own.
13:33
SPEAKER_01: But that for me always felt like such a spiritual experience.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: Like lulling them to sleep, just it it felt good when he was a baby, and it still feels good to me now.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: I love that.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: You said reading, and I love reading to my boy too, but I actually read spiritual books to him.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: So I'll read his books and then again, this is mommy's survival guide.
13:56
SPEAKER_00: I'll read my books in my mommy voice.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: And he conks out pretty fast with that.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: But the point of that is things do seep in.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: And he's even like lifted his head off my chest and gone, mindset is everything, and then clonk back out.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, Yes, victory, you know, just those little things because we're always they soak everything up like sponges.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: So I want to be able to nurture and feed that to him as much as possible, especially for gratitude and mindset and those simple practices that can they it starts young.
15:55
SPEAKER_00: And I think they need those coping mechanisms because so many of our belief patterns that we take through adulthood that need to be undone, unraveled as an adult, they start at that childhood school age.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: Like everybody blames things on families, and there's a lot of that too, but so much of it happens in school of not feeling enough, right?
16:17
SPEAKER_00: Or not feeling seen or heard.
16:19
SPEAKER_00: So much of it happens when they're in school.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, I can say that for my own experience as a little seven-year-old.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: I went from being in Montessori school to being in public school in first grade.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: And I had a teacher who just didn't, I just don't think she appreciated that that's where my roots were.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, was always after me for I used to write too big and then I wrote too small.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: And I can just remember her always being like, Kelly, Kelly, stop, stop.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: And you know, I I really internalized that I wasn't smart and I wasn't good at school, and I worked super, super hard my whole school career.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: But I can tell you, though that those formative years, it makes me think anytime I'm with my students, you know, working with my students at school, I always fill them up with positive.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: I would never want them to leave their time with me and have anything like collecting on them.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: But that in itself to me is that is magic.
17:23
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you think about what you're sending home with them and the power of our words.
17:29
SPEAKER_00: That is what spelling is.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Like people talk about casting spells and magic, but really what it is, it's the power of our word and how we say it and how it's received, and how um the energy behind it, right?
17:46
SPEAKER_00: And that's why things can manifest so easily when we place our emotion behind it.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, what do most people hang on to?
17:52
SPEAKER_00: They hang on to the negative emotions.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: Bliss is fantastic, but it's usually here and then gone.
17:59
SPEAKER_00: But when we are hurt or wounded, that stuff stays with us, you know.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: So being able to give them those emotions as much as possible and allowing them to receive those compliments and those beautiful words from you, that's pure magic, in my opinion.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, and I agree with you.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: I think it's a I think it is a sacred practice.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: And I feel like, you know, when you're when you're given responsibility for children, like to send them off better than they were when they came to you is is like a a good practice to have, right?
18:34
SPEAKER_01: But it is, it's it's it's special being able to offer something to those little ones.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: Awesome.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: I'm so glad that you're in that work because it's so needed.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: It is, yeah.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: So let's let's go to another question.
18:53
SPEAKER_01: So we talked about all things mystical.
18:56
SPEAKER_01: So how would you define a mystical nerd?
19:00
SPEAKER_01: What is what is that kind of person?
19:03
SPEAKER_00: Well, me and you, clearly.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: I think that um, gosh, I'm just gonna just describe myself.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: It's a student of life for me.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: Like I I love learning about magic and the sacred mysteries because you'll never know it all.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: And if somebody tells you that they do, then run.
19:26
SPEAKER_00: But it's ever changing because you're ever evolving, but the more you know, the more you want to know.
19:34
SPEAKER_00: And I think that's why I'm so um geek out on it, right?
19:39
SPEAKER_00: Is because that to me is fantastic because I bore easily.
19:44
SPEAKER_00: So, like, you know, I'll read one thing and it'll reference something else, and then I'll go and I'll dive in.
19:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm always reading five, six books at once, they're all spread out and audio books going at the same time.
19:55
SPEAKER_00: I love it.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: Like, I love it.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: And being able to jump into the different cultural um beliefs, the different philosophies, and just all of the things, the modalities, the healing ways that they do all around the world.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: Like I can go down those rabbit holes and not come over there.
20:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: That's that question.
20:17
SPEAKER_01: Same.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: It's it's the willingness to go down every rabbit hole, you know, and uh never cease in that like drive to just, I just want to know more and I want to understand more.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: And I love the point where you sort of realize it's all inside you, it's all inside you, and it brings out this childlike wonder and curiosity.
20:42
SPEAKER_00: And to me, that's so fun because it really invokes my inner muse.
20:46
SPEAKER_00: And it I get to be playful with this.
20:49
SPEAKER_00: Like I get to just have fun with it and experience it and go, yep, I like that.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: I resonate with that, I believe that.
20:57
SPEAKER_00: Nope, that's not for me, or at least it's not for me right now.
21:01
SPEAKER_00: But I read and delve into everything, not because it's what I want to take on as my new belief system, but because I just want to know.
21:11
SPEAKER_00: I want to know what's out there, I want to know what other people are doing and experiencing.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: And I think it makes for really good conversation with because you can you have a wide variety.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, I've always been eclectic.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: So I think part of that is the geeking out on it too, is just I really want to know as much as I can.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: And and I don't want to ever stop that.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: No, same.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: That's just that's just a way of life.
21:39
SPEAKER_01: That's the mystic nerd way.
21:41
SPEAKER_00: It is the mystic word way.
21:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: So that's why that's why the mystic nerd squad, because it's it's people like you who are just it's such a breath of fresh air, and and it you know, whispers possibility.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: What else could be out there?
22:00
SPEAKER_01: It's just really exciting and fun.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: And that's part of the reason why I wanted to do this.
22:05
SPEAKER_00: And what's so cool is everything's at our fingertips now.
22:09
SPEAKER_00: So, like when I told you when I went through everything, there was no integration, there was no support.
22:13
SPEAKER_00: Like, look what people have available to them now.
22:17
SPEAKER_00: The amount of support that I give people, you give people, the people in our community, they have so much to nurture them and to help guide them through the process and on through integration.
22:31
SPEAKER_00: That didn't used to be.
22:33
SPEAKER_00: You had to suck it up and learn it and do it.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: And good luck.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: You know, good luck to you.
22:41
SPEAKER_00: And there's, I mean, there's some hardships to that because not knowing, not understanding, especially when all of the spiritual gifts come in and get activated, and you start talking about clear audience and clairvoyance and all these things, and you don't know, and there's nobody to talk to, and you don't know who you can talk to, because the wrong person will think you're crazy.
23:02
SPEAKER_00: Right.
23:03
SPEAKER_00: So that's part of it too, is just understanding that there is so much, there's so many communities and circles, and people that that love this as much as we do, and that you can have these beautiful, open, heartfelt conversations that in themselves are magical and expansive and mystical and just yummy, yummy.
23:27
SPEAKER_01: Let's use yummy as much as possible.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I agree with you, and you know, I really think that is something I'm so grateful for every day to have such a special community of people that we've been all interconnected with who, you know, are open and willing to talk, and it's it's in a non judgmental sense.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, being able to have people open to to hearing your questions, you know, and having People to say, you know, I have this like ringing in my ears.
24:02
SPEAKER_01: What could this be from?
24:04
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:04
SPEAKER_00: But your doctor says there's nothing wrong, but there's something going on.
24:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: It is.
24:10
SPEAKER_00: And it's and it's nice to be able to play off people.
24:12
SPEAKER_00: And I think me stepping into this new phase of life, coming into 50, like there's this um feeling of responsibility and integrity and wanting to make sure that I pass what I've learned on to other people, but to the right people, right?
24:29
SPEAKER_00: I want to be that support.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: I want to make it easier for other people than what I did.
24:33
SPEAKER_00: I can I went at it alone.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't have to be that hard.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: You can, it just takes longer.
24:39
unknown: Yeah.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: You know, that 30 years that it took me, but it's been it's been a journey, but that you don't have to do it that way.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: And when you come together, it's so beautiful because at least what I've seen is I've seen the sisterhood wounds being healed through this as well.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: Um, people being able to trust other women, other, you know, being able just to develop those sacred friendships and really, really allowing ourselves to go vulnerable.
25:13
SPEAKER_00: And that's where we harness our personal power.
25:17
SPEAKER_00: So by being able to go into those places and spaces, and that's also where we heal.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: Like it allows us to strip away.
25:26
SPEAKER_00: There's an art to storytelling.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: So when we come together with something like this, the shared interest and really have these soulful conversations, it allows us to go into those places where we felt different, and then you realize you're not so different, you know, you just were running with the wrong tribes, you know, or people didn't have the appreciation because they didn't understand.
25:52
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: And it's ever evolving, it's so fun.
25:55
SPEAKER_01: It's so, so fun.
25:57
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
25:58
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
25:59
SPEAKER_01: And and I want to go back to something you said about, you know, living in integrity.
26:04
SPEAKER_01: I think if I could give you any one compliment and had to be limited, it one of them would be that you are so full of integrity.
26:14
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, you can see sitting behind me this wonderful book, Sacred Medicine.
26:21
SPEAKER_01: If you're catching the audio, this is Sacred Medicine by Den Pisino.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, I had the pleasure and joy of contributing one of the chapters to this anthology.
26:33
SPEAKER_01: It is it's an amazing book.
26:37
SPEAKER_01: And I say that I can even just exclude myself and what I wrote and say it was amazing because of the integrity and the authenticity of each author and what they shared and their tools and their medicine.
26:52
SPEAKER_01: Um and it's all about mystical practices for ecstatic living.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: And when you told me the title, I was like, oh my gosh, I want to live ecstatically.
27:02
SPEAKER_01: Who doesn't want to live ecstatically?
27:04
SPEAKER_01: And so I thank you from the bottom of my heart from you know including me in this wonderful project.
27:11
SPEAKER_01: And I just want to give you a little bit of time to talk about this project, projects you have coming up, and other ways that people can connect with you.
27:19
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: Well, first of all, thank you for all of that.
27:22
SPEAKER_00: And thank you for being in that project and the next one.
27:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, you said yes before anybody.
27:29
SPEAKER_00: Like I barely got the title out of my mouth, and you were like, yes, I'm in.
27:33
SPEAKER_00: And then, and that's why this book is so magical, and why the next one is as well, is because I knew from the beginning I only wanted people in it that had that energy and excitement and like a hell yes.
27:47
SPEAKER_00: There was no teeter-totter of oh, maybe that book holds that intention, that power.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: And this this was magic from the very beginning, from the very beginning of me just having those initial conversations with people, those were all seeds of intention from day one.
28:04
SPEAKER_00: And I gathered everybody and they were on my altar, and I was just sending love and energy to everybody, the whole every step of the way.
28:13
SPEAKER_00: And it um my heart is in that book.
28:16
SPEAKER_00: So thank you for being a part of that and trusting me with that journey.
28:20
SPEAKER_00: And then the next one that's coming out is um, we're interviewing authors now, but that is uh Wealth Codes, Sacred Strategies for Abundance.
28:29
SPEAKER_00: And that is all about wealth consciousness for me, which has become a mission to get money in the hands of conscious-minded people, but specifically my work is with women.
28:41
SPEAKER_00: And the book is separated into five different areas of life so that it can be integrated.
28:48
SPEAKER_00: And together, when you integrate all those things, to me, that is what true wealth actually is.
28:54
SPEAKER_00: And I'm super excited about that.
28:56
SPEAKER_00: We're pulling magic and mystery into that, it's weaved throughout because each one of those categories of life is also for me attached to the sacred elements in how we move through life and how we can ignite those sparks within us to get more vibrancy and more ecstatic living.
29:17
SPEAKER_00: Again, just pulling that thread all the way through of making life something that we can savor and actually living it instead of letting it live us.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: And um, so it's just been such a pleasure doing all of this with all of you and building these relationships.
29:35
SPEAKER_00: And I would love everybody just to come into my world.
29:37
SPEAKER_00: I just love sharing the art of ceremony and ritual and healing the past and all the good things, just so that people actually step into their higher calling and their purpose without any doubts and just knowing that there's always more, there's limitless possibilities.
29:54
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you can have it all.
29:56
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, yes, you can have it all if you didn't hear me the first time.
