  Psychic Medium, Carry Mugs and Holy Cow. Today we are going to talk
• 0:37
  about not being small, like believing in who you are and expanding and growing
• 0:44
  and doing all the things because it's interesting. Because first of all, I
• 0:49
  want to give a shout out to my spirit circle people. We did our
• 0:53
  last Bertscle last week and it was amazing and I feel like a lot of
• 1:00
  them like grew and expanded and we talked about and I know they listened to
• 1:03
  the podcast. I'm going to shout out to you guys. Hello, I
• 1:07
  love you, Thank you for listening, but thank you all of you for
• 1:10
  listening. Actually, but I just want to put a shout out to my
• 1:12
  spirit circle people because it was intense and it was fun and so I do
• 1:18
  have another Spirit Circle coming up in March on March fourteenth, and I think
• 1:22
  there's like one or two spots left for that, so if you are in
• 1:25
  the Idle Falls area, you can come to that. I will probably hold
• 1:27
  some Spirit circles online eventually, but right now we're just going to do them
• 1:33
  in person. And I also have a class coming up on March twenty third
• 1:38
  to connect to your spirit guides if you've ever wondered about spirit guides or all
• 1:42
  the information about spirit guide, all things spirit guides, how to connect,
• 1:45
  and we'll be learning of that too. So that's I think Saturday, March
• 1:48
  twenty third. So anyway, shout out to my peeps. I love you
• 1:51
  all of you. But to the Spirit Circle people, I know you listen
• 1:53
  because you always tell me you do. So hello. Now, this weekend
• 2:00
  was very snowy where I live, Like our winter was not very It was
• 2:05
  kind of actually kind of nice because it wasn't a lot of snow, it
• 2:07
  wasn't a whole bunch of snow. It was just kind of springy almost,
• 2:14
  and then this weekend we got like dumped on that totally dumped on, and
• 2:19
  so I took the opportunity to read some books. And if you know me,
• 2:23
  I'm an avid book reader. I love to read books. I love
• 2:27
  spiritual growth, anything, self help, all that kind of stuff. Anything
• 2:30
  feel good. And I read Shirley McLean's Out on a Limb and it was
• 2:37
  pretty it was pretty good. I started it a long time ago and it
• 2:40
  kind of stopped in the middle just because things got busy and things got crazy.
• 2:45
  But I finished it the rest of it this week and I finished the
• 2:47
  end part was more about the spiritual journey she had. So if you don't
• 2:52
  know a lot about Sheriy McLain, she had a very spiritual journey. She
• 2:54
  she is one of those celebrities that will talk in interviews about past lives.
• 3:02
  She'll talk about her spiritual journey. She'll talk about all being spirit and not
• 3:07
  even give a qualm about it. And I love that. I love that
• 3:10
  about her. And in this book, this book Out on a Limb,
• 3:14
  it was I think in nineteen eighties is when it was published, and she
• 3:19
  was in her forties and she had a huge spiritual awakening and it all started
• 3:23
  with some spiritual mediums and channeling spirit mediums that were channeling, and then she
• 3:28
  went on a trip to Peru. But what I love about this book is
• 3:31
  it was it is one of the most read books that awaken people because I
• 3:36
  think when people read it, they weren't expecting Shirley McClain to to talk about
• 3:42
  spiritual stuff, and so a lot of people picked it up not knowing and
• 3:45
  it just kind of woken up a lot of people. And if you ask
• 3:49
  a lot of people who are my age or older, you ask them when
• 3:52
  their spiritual awakening was, a lot of them will say, or what their
• 3:54
  favorite books were. A lot of them will say Out on a Limb by
• 3:58
  Shirley McLain. And so what I loved about this is the biggest message that
• 4:03
  she that she kept running into is that to receive the good or receive what
• 4:11
  you need to, you have to go on on a limb. You can't
• 4:13
  just play it safe. You can't just hold back and play it safe.
• 4:15
  And also too, she talks about in this book, she talks about how
• 4:20
  and this is you know, this might ruffle some feathers, but it's what
• 4:23
  I have known to be true too. The divine or source is not something
• 4:28
  that's outside of us. God is not something outside of us. Divine or
• 4:32
  source in God is something that is within us. We are part of God.
• 4:36
  We are a part of that entity. We are eternal, we're never
• 4:42
  ending, and we have parts of if you want to say him or her
• 4:46
  inside of us, and it's we have that light within us that that's part
• 4:51
  of the divine. So I know, like some people teach that we're children
• 4:55
  of God or we're daughters of God or sons of God, and oh we
• 5:00
  are. And I know that this is gonna because God is eternal and God
• 5:04
  is majestic and God but God loves us and we are part of Him,
• 5:12
  just like your kids are part of you. It's just who we are.
• 5:15
  It's just how it is, and so it's just beautiful. I think it's
• 5:19
  beautiful. And so a lot of people struggle with this concept, but it's
• 5:23
  who we are. We have a divine light of Christ within us, a
• 5:27
  divine light of universe, the divine light of that. We have a divine
• 5:30
  light within us, and some people call it. You know, there is
• 5:33
  an aura around us, but there's also like a light within us that is
• 5:36
  part of our soul and it's part of who we are. And we are
• 5:41
  eternal, and so we're here to not play it small We're here to play
• 5:46
  it big because we forget who we are. We forget how powerful we are,
• 5:51
  because there are frequencies or sources that be out there that want us to
• 5:56
  forget. They don't want us to remember how powerful we are, don't want
• 6:00
  us to remember that we're part of this divine guidance that we're part of,
• 6:04
  because if we knew how powerful we were, this world would be completely different.
• 6:10
  But we don't. We we second guess ourselves and we are insecure about
• 6:15
  ourselves. And that's kind of how these lower frequencies want it, because when
• 6:17
  we are like that, we're easier to control and so, and it's not
• 6:23
  a conspiracy theory, it's the truth. It's who we are. We're so
• 6:28
  freaking powerful, and we have forgotten that that God is inside of us.
• 6:33
  God is part of who we are. So that's what I'm here to remind
• 6:38
  you of. That we we are so much more powerful. Then we give
• 6:43
  ourselves credit and we play it small because of fear, or we play we
• 6:46
  play it small because of what people are going to think, or we play
• 6:49
  it small because we're afraid. We're afraid of the success, we're afraid that
• 6:54
  we're going to fail. And we are co creators. You are a co
• 6:58
  creator with the divine, so you can create pretty much anything you want to.
• 7:01
  But people get sidetracked on that because they don't think they can and they
• 7:04
  don't believe in themselves. And so I'm here to tell you to just try
• 7:09
  it. Try with small things, try with you know, this is part
• 7:13
  of manifestation, manifestie, manifest manifesting and co creating. And I'm actually going
• 7:19
  to if you watch my Instagram and you watch my Spunky Spirit, I will
• 7:27
  this week put out a manifesting a manifestation journal or workbook that I will give
• 7:31
  you for free because you I just want to always remind me that you have
• 7:36
  everything. And I've said this, I say this all the time, all
• 7:40
  the time. You have everything you need inside you. Why because you have
• 7:45
  the light of Christ. You have God's eternal light inside you. You are
• 7:48
  part of It's not something outside of you. And I don't know how many
• 7:53
  times I can continue to tell you this and tell you this and tell you
• 7:56
  this, because because even I like will be unconfident or insecure about things sometimes
• 8:03
  and I don't want to say even I we all are. We all get
• 8:05
  insecure about things or we all forget who we are. It's my favorite part
• 8:09
  of The Lion King because I am a big Disney buff. If you follow
• 8:15
  me along, you know that you follow along with me. When Mufasa comes
• 8:18
  back and says you when Simba is supposed to be king and Simba doesn't want
• 8:24
  to be king, Simba's playing it small. He's hiding. He doesn't want
• 8:28
  to face the facts that you know, there was something in his past that
• 8:31
  happened, and he doesn't want to face it, so he's going to play
• 8:35
  it small. And it's so symbolic because Mufasa comes from the sky and says,
• 8:41
  you have forgotten who you are, then therefore you have forgotten me.
• 8:46
  Because this doesn't make me cry because God is inside of us. The Divine
• 8:50
  is inside of us. So when we forget who we are, we forget
• 8:56
  the Divine. And that's why it's so important for us to be who we
• 9:00
  we authentically are, because when we authentically love who we are, and when
• 9:03
  we are who we want to be or who we are authentically, then we
• 9:09
  find God. So when we look for God outside of us, it's so
• 9:13
  much harder than when we look for God. When we look for God,
• 9:16
  we find ourselves, and when we look for ourselves, we find God because
• 9:20
  that's who we're part of. So I don't care how you think of God
• 9:24
  as a universal thing, a divine thing, spirit. Some people call it
• 9:31
  spirit. I call it spirit, but it is part of who you are,
• 9:35
  and if you are part of that divinity, then you can do amazing
• 9:39
  things. We just forget how to do it. So we're going to stop
• 9:43
  playing small. And what does that mean. I looked at my notes for
• 9:46
  just a second. That means we need to level up. This is different
• 9:50
  ways of saying stop playing small, level up, go for it, do
• 9:54
  the thing, do the damn thing. Just do it, do what you're
• 9:56
  so scared of doing, like move forward and go forward because it's not going
• 10:03
  to be easy and it is going to be hard, but it's because that's
• 10:05
  part of the journey, right, that's part of the journey. So experience
• 10:09
  life. Experience it. Don't just play small like Simba and bugs in the
• 10:15
  jungle, Like there's just a whole new world out there, whole new thing,
• 10:20
  And get brave enough to experience, Get brave enough to go out on
• 10:24
  that limb to do the thing, and to remember who you are. So
• 10:28
  I know these are all like cliche sayings, but they're all so true and
• 10:31
  you know where they're coming from, right, You know that they're coming from
• 10:35
  within people who have experienced the scariness of staying small or staying small. And
• 10:41
  it doesn't mean to go big. My brother says, go big or go
• 10:45
  home. But it doesn't mean to go big or to level up. Doesn't
• 10:48
  mean you have to be famous. Who wants to be famous anymore? Right?
• 10:50
  Like, it just means to be you and to love your life the
• 10:54
  way it is, and to enjoy the journey and to know that things are
• 10:58
  going to be hard sometimes, to embrace the hard, embrace the suck,
• 11:03
  embrace all of the things. I feel like I'm quoting all these things,
• 11:05
  but it's just kind of what it is. Stop. I mean, just
• 11:11
  celebrate you, celebrate your greatness, Celebrate who you are, celebrate your authenticity.
• 11:18
  And when you see other people. I think the reason why it's kind
• 11:20
  of scary for us to do it is because when we see other people acting
• 11:24
  out on social media, or we see people going out on a limb,
• 11:28
  we got to judge them, we do. We automatically go, oh my
• 11:31
  gosh. I don't know if I could be that load. I don't if
• 11:31
  I could be that person and let them just let them do it. In
• 11:35
  fact, I think I'm going to get a tattoo on my wrist that says,
• 11:37
  let them, just let them, Let people be who they are.
• 11:41
  It's just because they're trying to experience life too, and they're trying to go
• 11:46
  big or go home. They're trying to celebrate their greatness. And when we
• 11:50
  judge them, we're stopping them. We're creating that and because we judge them,
• 11:54
  we think, oh my gosh, people are judging us. Right.
• 11:56
  So if I I'm just telling you right now, if I were to have
• 12:01
  like stopped doing this medium shipwork because of what other people thought, I wouldn't
• 12:07
  be here and you wouldn't be listening, and I wouldn't have all the claims
• 12:11
  that I do that I've that have helped and have come through their own awakening.
• 12:16
  So go out on this limb. Okay. This also means stop chasing
• 12:20
  people and things that do not align with you, Like just because we think
• 12:26
  we have to be a certain way, or just because people say we have
• 12:30
  to be a certain way, it can be what is stopping us. Just
• 12:35
  like Simba thought he had to be like Pumba and Timon. He had to
• 12:39
  eat bugs and he had to just kind of hakuna matata and just be no
• 12:43
  worries, which is great, but you can't grow and expand. Hakuna matata
• 12:46
  wis like you can't you can. Akuna batata mostly means that you can grow
• 12:52
  and expand, but not worry about it because you know God's got you.
• 12:56
  You know you've got you. You're aligned with what your purpose is. Simba
• 13:00
  was playing it small in the jungle and he was eating bugs and he thought
• 13:05
  he was like a warog or a whatever, a mere cat, that Timbo,
• 13:09
  that Timon was And so he was playing a very small and he was
• 13:13
  he was chasing something he didn't even really know. He didn't have a purpose,
• 13:16
  right, He didn't know what he wanted to do. He just knew
• 13:18
  that he was a kunamact kunamatady every day and not having a purpose, which
• 13:24
  is fine. Sometimes sometimes it's okay to rest. I'm not saying you can't
• 13:28
  rest, and I'm not saying you can't take days in the jungle and just
• 13:31
  debugs, but I'm saying that sometimes you forget who you are and you forget
• 13:35
  your purpose, and sometimes you don't even know your purpose right because we don't
• 13:37
  have one. We have multiple purposes. My purpose for when I was five
• 13:43
  is completely different from when I was twenty and had four kids, well I
• 13:48
  was actually twenty eight and had four kids. Or my purpose back then when
• 13:52
  I was twenty eight and had four kids and being a single mom sometimes was
• 13:56
  completely different than now. My purpose now is complete different. So we all
• 14:01
  have different purposes. And just because you can't figure it out right now,
• 14:03
  sometimes it's just that we don't. It can be something so small, and
• 14:07
  I think that people think that their purpose has to be gigantic and huge,
• 14:11
  and it doesn't. It can just be small right now. It can just
• 14:16
  be just be as a mom, you can just be or as a grandma,
• 14:22
  you can just be that person for those kids, right. So just
• 14:26
  find out what brings you joy, what brings you happiness now and go for
• 14:30
  that, do that purpose. And Simba, while he liked tekunamatatiing in the
• 14:35
  jungle, he always knew he was made for something greater. He knew that
• 14:37
  there was something more, and Nala came to remind him that, and Mufasa
• 14:43
  came to remind him that, So stop chasing what is not for you.
• 14:48
  What does not bring you joy. It's easy to rest or relax, but
• 14:52
  at the end of the day, when you find discomfort, it's because you're
• 14:54
  not growing. If you're stagnant and you're not growing, you become depressed,
• 15:00
  you become sad, you become stuck. And so we're always expanding, always
• 15:05
  expanding, and even though it can be uncomfortable, and even though it can
• 15:09
  be hard, we're always expanding, and there's always ancestors and spirits guiding us
• 15:15
  and directing us while we're expanding. We're not doing it alone. And I
• 15:18
  think that's another fear, is we think that we're doing it alone. But
• 15:22
  just like with Simba, Mufassa was always there. Ancestors were always there,
• 15:26
  watching, watching over him and helping him, even though not in physical form,
• 15:31
  but in spirit. And just because we can't see it doesn't mean it
• 15:35
  doesn't exist. So I'm telling you, heaven is not a place. Heaven
• 15:39
  is a frequency. Your loved ones and ancestors are guiding and directing you during
• 15:43
  this journey. You just can't see them, okay, And it doesn't have
• 15:48
  to be all at once. You can take baby steps, just tiny baby
• 15:50
  steps because it's so hard to just bite off eat the whole elephant, right,
• 15:56
  all of it at once. Just do little baby steps. So if
• 15:58
  you just do little tiny things every day to go towards whatever brings you joy,
• 16:04
  then or just even like Google, Okay, what would happen if I
• 16:07
  wanted to take this trip? Or what would happen if I wanted to go
• 16:11
  into this or what would happen if I wanted to build this home? Or
• 16:15
  what if I wanted to go into this career? If you just kind of
• 16:18
  start putting it out there, you're going to start kind of crow creating it
• 16:21
  with your with the divine. And also do you have to believe in you?
• 16:26
  You can't just be like, oh, that's I could never do that.
• 16:27
  That's not something I could do. I always used to say all the
• 16:30
  time, I could never public speak, But then I started to do stuff
• 16:36
  like this, and now it's I'm not the best at it and I have
• 16:40
  my ADHD bran going all the time, but I do it and it does
• 16:44
  it does fulfill me because I couldn't do this podcast if I couldn't do it
• 16:48
  right. Be vulnerable. You can't grow and expand and you can't play big
• 16:56
  if if you're not vulnerable, And that's where it gets hard to because we're
• 17:00
  so worried about what people are going to think of us when we're vulnerable.
• 17:03
  And you know what, who cares? Who the f cares? Right?
• 17:07
  Who cares? Just be vulnerable, be you, because we can't be authentic
• 17:11
  if we're not vulnerable. We can't. It's just something that we have to
• 17:15
  put ourselves out on a limb. I just keep going back to her book,
• 17:18
  put yourself out on a limb. Go out on a limb. But
• 17:21
  also to be accountable, be accountable for your stuff right, be accountable for
• 17:26
  you. You know, there are lots of reasons we do things, and
• 17:29
  there are lots of but own it. Own, Own why you do things,
• 17:34
  own, when you make mistakes, own who you are, own it.
• 17:38
  Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, especially when they stop playing small.
• 17:44
  When you go big, you become vulnerable. And you play big and you
• 17:47
  go out on a limb and you take all of the risk. But without
• 17:49
  risk, there's no magic. So just do the thing, do the thing
• 17:55
  that you want to do right, but be accountable for your actions. Don't
• 17:57
  blame on anybody else. Don't blame it on lower frequencies. Don't blame it
• 18:03
  on curses. I believe in those things and they can happen. But you
• 18:04
  know what, only if you let them, and only if you have that
• 18:07
  choice. So if you go to an energy place and they tell you you
• 18:11
  have all these then get rid of them. Get rid of not the energy
• 18:15
  people. But if they tell you have lower frequencies around you, then choose
• 18:18
  to not let them be around you. Choose to not do the things that
• 18:21
  invite those things in. Make a choice. You have a choice. You
• 18:25
  always have a choice. Also, too, be willing to choose yourself.
• 18:30
  Expansion only comes when you choose yourself. And we struggle with this because we
• 18:34
  think that choosing ourself is selfish, especially women. We think that if we
• 18:38
  choose ourselves that we are being selfish. And that is so not true,
• 18:42
  because you are here for your journey. You can co create, and you
• 18:45
  can create other people. But you, honestly, at the end of the
• 18:52
  day, when those kids grow up and they're fifty years old, they really
• 18:55
  have no obligation to you. They really don't, and you don't have any
• 18:57
  obligation to your parents, and they don't have any and you just because we're
• 19:03
  born in this culture where we feel like we have obligation to people, we
• 19:06
  really don't. We can do whatever we want. Now I would add that
• 19:10
  we don't hurt people onto that, but we also can create boundaries and we
• 19:14
  can also live our lives fully to the fullest. But it's hard when other
• 19:18
  people, especially family members, don't don't what is it called they don't not
• 19:26
  enjoy, but they don't agree with your life choices. It's really not for
• 19:30
  them to agree on right. So you do you because that's how you go
• 19:37
  big. That's how you live your divine light. That's how you make your
• 19:41
  light brighter. That's how you shine the hell out of the place. Is
• 19:45
  you? Do you now? And focus on you? Focus focus on you
• 19:51
  because you can. You know, if you feel you know, if you
• 19:56
  are in path and you want to help people, that's totally fine because that's
• 20:00
  who you are, that's your purpose and that's what you're focusing on. But
• 20:03
  always fill up your cup too, Always wear your oxygen mask too, because
• 20:08
  nothing is going to be worse than you going to the other side and saying
• 20:12
  I did all this for because you know, service is great and service is
• 20:17
  how you help people. But I do service to people. I do readings
• 20:21
  for people, I help people awaken, I do this podcast. I kind

  of open people's minds. I let them know that their answers shows are with
• 20:26
  them. But I sure as hell focus on me now because I used to
• 20:30
  not, and I got sick and I got worn out and I almost had
• 20:34
  to quit doing what I was doing, and I got a tumor, and
• 20:37
  so now it's the game has completely changed, and now I focus on me,
• 20:44
  and I am the first one that I have to take care of because
• 20:47
  if I don't take care of me, I can't take care of you and
• 20:49
  so, and I can't take care of my kids, and I can't take
• 20:52
  care of my grandkids. So I do what brings me joy and I'm ready
• 20:56
  to play big. So that doesn't mean everything to everybody. Success is different
• 21:02
  for everybody. Right for me, it's just helping people and helping people be
• 21:06
  aware and having people be seen. It doesn't mean people want to be famous
• 21:10
  or people want to be well known. It just means that there's a domino
• 21:12
  effect. I always always go back to Sam Beckett on Quantum Leap when he
• 21:18
  just helps one person at a time, and sometimes that's all you can do
• 21:22
  and sometimes that person's you, So go big or go home, baby.
• 21:26
  That's what I say. That's what I say. So this is for a
• 21:30
  reminder for you to play it big, stop playing small. You're you have,
• 21:36
  you are divinely guided by like the most high God, and so remember
• 21:41
  that and remember this is the biggest thing that you have, everything you need
• 21:48
  already inside of you because you know who's inside of you, your creator.
• 21:53
