Erin Lucero: Soul Alchemy - Turning Grief Into Wisdom

Erin Lucero: Soul Alchemy - Turning Grief Into Wisdom

Let us know what you thought of this episode!

When Erin Lucero's world turned upside down after the loss of her mother, it wasn't just grief that she confronted; it was the call of her true destiny.
In a revealing heart-to-heart, Erin takes us through her profound metamorphosis from an established architect to a beacon of healing and self-discovery.
As her voice warmly fills the room, she speaks of the courage it took to embrace her roles as a yoga instructor, shamanic healer, and author, and the importance of fostering a nurturing community in the wake of such a life-altering transition.

Imagine a world where career changes aren't just accepted, but celebrated as a vital part of our evolution. That's the landscape Erin and I traverse as we discuss the societal shifts reshaping our approach to career and purpose. We reflect on the delicate act of balancing passion with practicality, and how the support of loved ones and counselling can guide us through the rapids of radical vocational shifts. Erin's journey serves as a to inspire anyone standing at the crossroads of their dreams and life's necessities.

The conversation culminates with an exploration into the shamanic practices that have guided Erin's healing journey, a testament to the idea that our soul's purpose is inscribed in the very fabric of our being. She opens up about the power of self-reflection in the face of personal crisis and the transformative impact of shamanic energy healing on emotional and spiritual wounds. Erin's story isn't just one of loss and change; it's a celebration of authenticity, love, and the prosperity that flourishes when we align our lives with our deepest truths.

    1 00:00:02
    Speaker 1: Hello, hello.

    00:00:03
    It's Nadine here, and I'm here with this week's episode of Life

    00:00:08
    , health and the Universe, and this week I'm joined by Erin

    00:00:12
    Lucero.

    00:00:13
    Welcome, erin, all the way from .

    00:00:18
    Speaker 2: I am from Denver, Colorado.

    00:00:23
    Speaker 1: Yes, I had it on the tip of my tongue, so let me do a

    00:00:25
    very quick intro of you, erin.

    00:00:28
    We've only known each other for a short while, so I've just got

    00:00:33
    a quick intro and then I'm going to hand over to you and

    00:00:36
    then we'll get stuck into our conversation.

    00:00:38
    So, erin, you describe yourself as a big ball of love.

    00:00:44
    That's a nice description.

    00:00:49
    So we're here to chat all about you and the things that you do

    00:00:53
    today, but you've gone from 20 years as an architect and then

    00:00:58
    and I love this you shifted, and I love that you said shifted

    00:01:02
    instead of pivoted, because everyone pivots you know, that's

    00:01:08
    not my favorite word me neither .

    00:01:11
    So you shifted to become a yoga instructor, I believe a shamanic

    00:01:16
    healer.

    00:01:17
    I don't even know how to pronounce that.

    00:01:19
    Is it shamanic, shamanic?

    00:01:22
    Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a bit like tomato tomato.

    00:01:24
    Yeah, okay, shamanic, I shamanic.

    00:01:24
    You know, I think it's a bit like tomato tomato.

    00:01:26
    Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, shamanic, I'll just say it quickly, and

    00:01:29
    you're also an author, but I'm pretty sure there's other things

    00:01:32
    in there that I haven't included.

    00:01:34
    So welcome, and I'm going to hand over to you to fill in

    00:01:38
    those gaps, and then we'll get started.

    00:01:43
    Speaker 2: The gaps.

    00:01:44
    Yeah Well, first of all, thanks for having me.

    00:01:47
    It's been so much fun meeting you.

    00:01:49
    I'll give a little intro.

    00:01:51
    Nadine and I are doing the Gene Key Pearl Retreat with Richard

    00:01:55
    Rudd right now and we had a blast meeting each other in one

    00:01:59
    of the breakout rooms and we're like, oh, we're meant to know

    00:02:01
    each other.

    00:02:03
    Yeah, I, I was, well, I'm still, an architect.

    00:02:07
    We never stopped being what we are.

    00:02:10
    We just shift sometimes.

    00:02:11
    And so, yes, I'm a trained architect and I was building

    00:02:16
    buildings and making spaces for people and I had, as is often

    00:02:22
    the case, kind of those big pivotal moments in your life

    00:02:25
    where you're like, am I really living to my highest purpose?

    00:02:29
    And that, for me, came when my mother passed away three years

    00:02:35
    ago and that that created this big shift.

    00:02:37
    And that was one of the shifts that I'm I probably am still

    00:02:42
    going through, because we're always evolving and growing.

    00:02:44
    But, yeah, what I've?

    00:02:46
    I stepped away from my job as an architect and I stepped into

    00:02:50
    last year.

    00:02:51
    I really got into writing books .

    00:02:52
    I wrote four and now pausing that for a minute, taking a

    00:02:58
    breath and feeling into shamanism as a practice,

    00:03:05
    building communities, working on kind of holding space for

    00:03:11
    people in that, creating a loving community and support

    00:03:17
    system for people through shamanism, which you know, we

    00:03:22
    can talk about a little bit more , about what that word means,

    00:03:24
    because that's a big, a big umbrella of a word.

    00:03:27
    Uh, and yeah, I love yoga.

    00:03:31
    I did yoga, I've done yoga for 16, 17, 18 years, something like

    00:03:36
    that, and I um started teaching , uh during covid as something

    00:03:43
    for my friends who, when everything disappeared, I'm like

    00:03:45
    well, let's meet outside.

    00:03:46
    So I started teaching that and I really enjoy sharing those

    00:03:50
    practices with people.

    00:03:51
    So, yeah, I did a pretty big shift into trying to align my

    00:03:56
    inner self with my outer self.

    00:03:58
    Wow, and that's where I'm still heading.

    00:04:03
    Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so cool.

    00:04:05
    I um, I didn't realize because we've only just met right, so I

    00:04:08
    didn't realize that that shift was actually quite so.

    00:04:11
    It's been quite recent.

    00:04:12
    Like you say, you've written four books.

    00:04:15
    You're like, well, she must have been doing this for a while

    00:04:18
    and you're like, no, just knock them off.

    00:04:20
    Speaker 2: Last year, my life seems to be on the like, the

    00:04:25
    exponential trajectory instead of the linear one that's okay.

    00:04:30
    Speaker 1: I reckon that's cool, it's great, I love it and I do.

    00:04:33
    You know what?

    00:04:34
    I love that, and I don't know whether it's, maybe it's I'm

    00:04:38
    assuming we're kind of around the same same sort of age

    00:04:41
    bracket.

    00:04:41
    But what you know, as we were growing up well, certainly for

    00:04:45
    me it was there was a real belief that you know you, you

    00:04:51
    grow up and what are you going to be when you grow up.

    00:04:53
    For you it was an architect, I wanted to be an actress, so that

    00:04:57
    one got poo-pooed, um, but I studied in a theater, um, you

    00:05:04
    know, I went to school and did all of the things.

    00:05:07
    But there was this mentality that once you've got a job,

    00:05:11
    that's who you are and that's what you do for the rest of your

    00:05:14
    life.

    00:05:14
    But that's really changing and I love that.

    00:05:18
    I love that for me, I love that for you, I love that for our

    00:05:22
    kids.

    00:05:23
    It's like you know what, what you don't have to do the same

    00:05:27
    thing for the rest of your life.

    00:05:28
    You can try different things, um, and I don't know how

    00:05:34
    accepted that is, but it feels like it.

    00:05:36
    It's definitely changing.

    00:05:39
    Speaker 2: I think it is.

    00:05:40
    It is changing, but yeah, it is , it's slow.

    00:05:43
    It's a little bit like I mean, if you do make a big shift, you

    00:05:49
    definitely get a lot of strange looks right.

    00:05:52
    You also get a lot of wow.

    00:05:56
    I wish I was brave enough to do that yes yes, like that, that

    00:06:01
    you are so courageous, you're doing something that I could

    00:06:05
    never do.

    00:06:05
    And then you ask them well, why not?

    00:06:09
    Yeah, and that you know, I think that that that why not is

    00:06:15
    the thing that really keeps people back from their dreams.

    00:06:19
    Because you're right, you're absolutely right, we were grown,

    00:06:22
    we were grown into like be a vocation, be a job, do be a job,

    00:06:28
    because it's like that job becomes you, your identity.

    00:06:34
    You know, I had a friend once who says why is it that whenever

    00:06:36
    we meet a person at a party, we say what do you do?

    00:06:38
    What do you do?

    00:06:41
    Not?

    00:06:41
    Who are you?

    00:06:41
    Yeah, Not what.

    00:06:42
    What?

    00:06:42
    Speaker 1: makes your heart sing .

    00:06:42
    Speaker 2: But what do you do to ?

    00:06:43
    Who are you?

    00:06:43
    Yeah, not what.

    00:06:44
    What makes your heart sing?

    00:06:45
    But what do you do?

    00:06:47
    To make money?

    00:06:48
    Yeah, that's, yeah, oh, you know that's.

    00:06:51
    The whole reason you're on this planet is to make money, to

    00:06:55
    live some kind of material dream .

    00:06:57
    And then you know die and you know no yeah, it's, it's

    00:07:03
    interesting, isn't it?

    00:07:04
    Speaker 1: but yeah, like you say, it's shifting.

    00:07:06
    Before we get into, like, some of the things that you've done

    00:07:10
    and that you're currently doing, especially the, the shamanic,

    00:07:14
    would you say, shamanic teaching , healing- like so I would say

    00:07:22
    it's so.

    00:07:24
    Speaker 2: I did a six month course in shamanic energy

    00:07:28
    medicine, shamanic energy healing.

    00:07:31
    So, yes, I was trained to do energy healing through the

    00:07:35
    shamanic practices from Peru and we can talk about that more

    00:07:39
    like what that is is yeah um but I think that, on a bigger

    00:07:43
    perspective, when we when what I feel into shamanism shamanism

    00:07:48
    is is a big umbrella of any earth-based, um spiritual

    00:07:55
    practice that you know, shaman is from siberia, it's just a

    00:07:59
    word, a siberian word, but there are lots of different practices

    00:08:04
    all over the world that are more about relating to the earth

    00:08:09
    as our, you know, as our mother , as as a connection, and

    00:08:15
    shamanism is about feeling back into that connection with our

    00:08:20
    brothers and sisters, the plants , the animals, the stars, the,

    00:08:25
    the soil, and feeling into that there is a world beyond that

    00:08:30
    which we can see with our eyes, okay, and so that, as a kind of

    00:08:36
    concept, I'm really tuning into and trying to explore, and how

    00:08:44
    we can not necessarily me go around doing energy healings for

    00:08:47
    people, but how we as a society can start reconnecting with the

    00:08:52
    earth, with each other, with, with our neighbors and how we

    00:09:02
    can come back into that.

    00:09:04
    Speaker 1: Yeah, our connections a little bit funky, so if I

    00:09:09
    pull a funny face like I had a little bit of a frozen moment

    00:09:12
    there, it seems it's all right it was on my end so I can.

    00:09:17
    Speaker 2: Uh, we'll just keep it, just if I need to okay,

    00:09:21
    sorry about that, um, yeah, cool .

    00:09:23
    Speaker 1: So, um, I love all of those things.

    00:09:27
    Um, yeah, it's a, it's a massive topic and it's really

    00:09:32
    easy, isn't it, to kind of be, uh, the architect, which almost

    00:09:38
    feels like you know the the thing that us humans do we grow

    00:09:43
    up and we go to school and we get a job and all of those

    00:09:45
    things that I said before, and then that, and then that it

    00:09:51
    shouldn't be a polar opposite, but it almost feels like a polar

    00:09:54
    opposite to reconnect with all of the things, like where we

    00:09:58
    came from essentially.

    00:09:59
    And, yeah, I guess we kind of pigeonhole ourselves, don't we?

    00:10:04
    Into, um, yeah, into one part of who we are as humans, how

    00:10:11
    we've, uh, don't know, you might argue again, we might argue

    00:10:17
    that it's not really evolving what we've done to ourselves

    00:10:23
    anyway, yes, so, yeah, I love all of that evolution is an

    00:10:27
    interesting word, right definitely it's like yeah, I

    00:10:34
    could contemplate yes, I often say to um, like I think humans

    00:10:40
    are basically too smart for their own good, like we've done

    00:10:44
    all of these things.

    00:10:44
    But you know, often we go 10 years down the track oh yeah,

    00:10:48
    that was a good idea.

    00:10:49
    Back then it's like, because I've come from the health and

    00:10:52
    fitness industry, you know, it's like we've gone through this

    00:10:56
    whole process of working more, um, convenience food, sleeping

    00:11:03
    less, like all of these things, in order to do the things.

    00:11:06
    And then, like 10 years on, we go oh, that wasn't such a bad

    00:11:09
    idea.

    00:11:09
    Actually, that's causing x, y and z in our health and really

    00:11:13
    we should be doing all of the things that we used to do

    00:11:16
    hundreds of years ago yes yeah so over complicated yeah, yes

    00:11:22
    yes, yes, yes.

    00:11:25
    I'd love to know, before we go deeper, what was the?

    00:11:31
    What has the response been to you?

    00:11:34
    Did you kind of just like hang up your architect badge?

    00:11:40
    Speaker 2: Hat Badge yes.

    00:11:46
    Speaker 1: Okay, so and go.

    00:11:47
    I'm'm gonna be a shamanic healer in in some ways.

    00:11:51
    Speaker 2: yes, I did.

    00:11:53
    I mean I, I turned in my resignation and left my job.

    00:11:59
    And I think that the people in my office, you know, know, my

    00:12:04
    coworkers kind of knew that I was unhappy, that I didn't feel

    00:12:11
    fulfilled in what I was doing.

    00:12:12
    So they weren't, they were supportive, they weren't

    00:12:16
    terribly surprised because and I explained it to them it's not

    00:12:19
    that I went, you know, it's not that I went from, let's say,

    00:12:23
    analytical to woo, you know like , oh, because I still am the

    00:12:28
    same person, yeah, but I just I felt and I think that they could

    00:12:33
    really see it like I didn't feel satisfied in what I was

    00:12:37
    doing.

    00:12:37
    I didn't feel that what I was building and what we were doing

    00:12:42
    in that particular office and unfortunately, I would say, kind

    00:12:46
    of across the industry, because it's so focused on money and

    00:12:49
    not humanity that it wasn't in alignment with, like, making the

    00:12:55
    world a better place.

    00:12:56
    It wasn't doing what, or at least I wasn't able to affect

    00:13:02
    positive change within my position and I needed to step

    00:13:05
    back.

    00:13:06
    And that's what I kind of gave.

    00:13:07
    I told them I'm like you can say that I'm quitting, you can

    00:13:10
    say I'm doing a sabbatical, I don't really care what label you

    00:13:14
    put it on, but I need to step back and kind of reprioritize

    00:13:17
    myself.

    00:13:19
    Speaker 1: wow, so that's what I did, yeah and how did how did

    00:13:23
    that go down with your?

    00:13:25
    Speaker 2: other half.

    00:13:25
    Yeah, and I think you know it was a little bit hard for my

    00:13:29
    husband.

    00:13:29
    He was like you're doing what, like?

    00:13:31
    What are we doing with this?

    00:13:32
    And I did have I had some money in savings to kind of you know,

    00:13:36
    allow me financially to do this .

    00:13:38
    But it was definitely a bit of a shock.

    00:13:40
    But he's very supportive and he's he's always been supportive

    00:13:45
    .

    00:13:45
    I mean he, he, uh, while he's not into like the whole shaman

    00:13:52
    thing a ton, he, he still will come out and do fire ceremonies

    00:13:56
    with me and like he's very intuitive as well and he, he can

    00:14:01
    like sense stuff and so it works pretty good, yeah but it

    00:14:06
    was definitely a bit of a, thing , oh you're gonna yeah, because

    00:14:11
    I'm always curious about that.

    00:14:13
    Speaker 1: I mean, I know that it's not necessarily that our

    00:14:19
    partners are unsupportive, but if it, it can, it can.

    00:14:22
    If you make a radical shift, it can still like, I'm still yeah,

    00:14:28
    I'm just curious to find out, like what, what happens

    00:14:32
    sometimes so, yeah, I think, um, you know, radical shifts are

    00:14:38
    there.

    00:14:39
    Speaker 2: They put challenges on a marriage and I think that,

    00:14:42
    um, you know, we, we, well, I changed a lot, I have changed a

    00:14:48
    lot in the last two or three years, and so it was.

    00:14:52
    We actually went to counseling for four or five months just to

    00:14:58
    try and figure out how to communicate through those

    00:15:00
    changes, because it was like what had been stasis for I mean,

    00:15:05
    we got married in 2006 and what have been, you know, status quo

    00:15:10
    for many, many years Suddenly it was like I'm a different

    00:15:14
    person, I'm kind of speaking a different language, I have

    00:15:17
    different priorities, and it was a big shift.

    00:15:21
    And I think it took both of us wanting to commit to trying to

    00:15:27
    find out how to navigate through that for us to get through it.

    00:15:29
    And I think we're still working through it, because I'm still

    00:15:32
    changing and shifting and figuring out like, where am I

    00:15:35
    going to land, you know, from a, you know monetary, you know we

    00:15:40
    kind of have to make money at some point.

    00:15:42
    How does, how does my passion turn into, you know, something

    00:15:49
    that can support?

    00:15:50
    And so, yeah, we're still sorting it out.

    00:15:54
    But that's life, that is evolution.

    00:15:59
    Speaker 1: Totally, that is evolution.

    00:16:01
    Yeah, and that's really interesting actually because you

    00:16:03
    mentioned money versus humanity and I mean, I think you're

    00:16:09
    talking about humanity on a grander scale, but like you're a

    00:16:12
    human and it's like what, what do?

    00:16:14
    What do we actually need as humans?

    00:16:18
    Like we need, um, like you said , community connection, and like

    00:16:23
    they're the things that probably are like when we, when

    00:16:28
    we nut it out, the things that are most important to us, but

    00:16:33
    but we focus often on money, while it feels and it can feel

    00:16:37
    like, well, we don't really have much choice yeah, yeah, and I,

    00:16:43
    but I think that there are ways and I'm still filling into them.

    00:16:48
    Speaker 2: Um, and I I think that probably in the next you

    00:16:51
    know, if we check back in in about six months, I'll probably

    00:16:54
    have like the thing coalesce, but like there are ways for us

    00:17:00
    to bring money and humanity back together.

    00:17:03
    Yeah, like there's a story that the patriarchy and capitalism

    00:17:09
    and you know this world that we've lived in has torn them

    00:17:13
    apart, because they've told us that that we need to disregard

    00:17:18
    humanity and disregard what is good for the earth and disregard

    00:17:23
    all these things, and that the board members rule, rule and you

    00:17:27
    know, the dollar rules.

    00:17:28
    But I think it's, I think it's BS, it's just a story and that

    00:17:36
    you know, what I learned in shamanism is that we are told

    00:17:40
    stories and we can either choose to accept them or we can let

    00:17:44
    them go, and we can, you know, just peel them off of us like a

    00:17:47
    skin and unpeel that story until we start to find our, you know,

    00:17:52
    true essence.

    00:17:53
    Yeah, and, and our true essence says that our prosperity and

    00:17:59
    our humanity can be combined.

    00:18:03
    Yeah, yeah, so six months you're going to have the answers so

    00:18:13
    six months you're gonna have the answers with someone, but it's

    00:18:17
    still very uh.

    00:18:18
    It's in the works, so I can't.

    00:18:20
    I can't try.

    00:18:20
    Yeah, that's fair enough.

    00:18:22
    Speaker 1: No, we'll get you back on the here in.

    00:18:25
    Yeah, we, we will with the big reveal the big reveal.

    00:18:30
    Speaker 2: But you know, I'll tell you, nadine, like one of

    00:18:32
    the big things as kind of talking about this like that is,

    00:18:36
    though I can say that is the basis of what I wrote my book

    00:18:40
    about, okay was us finding that harmony and prosperity within

    00:18:49
    ourselves and to really kind of just get rid of this whole idea

    00:18:55
    of scarcity and that like we can't have abundance and the

    00:18:59
    poverty mindset, especially when it comes to spirituality,

    00:19:02
    because I think one of the reasons that a lot of healers or

    00:19:07
    people that are spiritual, like we have this poverty mindset

    00:19:11
    that is like you aren't allowed to be prosperous and help other

    00:19:16
    people I don't know where that came from, but it's like a

    00:19:19
    mindset that is in our society and what like what that was one

    00:19:25
    of the impetus of this book was like that we don't need to have

    00:19:28
    this scarcity, poverty mindset around ourselves.

    00:19:32
    Speaker 1: And you know that's what we're learning about in the

    00:19:33
    gene keys right, yeah yeah, prosperity yeah, so I've spoken

    00:19:41
    to the um the listeners about uh , a little bit about the gene

    00:19:45
    keys, and it has popped up in um a couple of conversations I've

    00:19:49
    had with other guests.

    00:19:50
    So erin and I are both uh following a gene keys um program

    00:19:55
    , online program called the pearl retreat, and it's um about

    00:20:01
    prosperity.

    00:20:02
    Um and yeah, basically shifting our mindsets.

    00:20:06
    A lot of it is shifting our mindsets, or you can't help but

    00:20:10
    shift your mindset um around prosperity.

    00:20:14
    Like it isn't actually about money.

    00:20:16
    And when I wrote down um, I haven't got it in front of me,

    00:20:19
    but some of the things that I wrote down about prosperity,

    00:20:23
    like when I think about it, like what does it mean for me, like

    00:20:27
    money, didn't come into it you know, what are the things that

    00:20:31
    are important in my life were like my yeah home, like and

    00:20:35
    being with my family and community food, you know um.

    00:20:40
    Sovereignty was really important one for me um you know, not

    00:20:45
    having, not having someone else control what we do, but the

    00:20:53
    prosperity it was like.

    00:20:55
    What does it feel like?

    00:20:56
    And I just think it feels to me like flow, but not just flow of

    00:21:04
    money, but flow of abundance, like in love, in relationships,

    00:21:08
    in like with nature.

    00:21:11
    Like that, to me, is like prospering because you can see a

    00:21:16
    person with um, you know who's wealthy with you, know has

    00:21:22
    financial wealth.

    00:21:23
    But if they're not healthy to me, they're not healthy to me,

    00:21:28
    they're not prospering.

    00:21:29
    Speaker 2: Yeah, so so, yeah, yeah, and that's that's just.

    00:21:33
    That's the paradigm shift that needs to happen.

    00:21:36
    Is the the idea of what, why we're here on this planet, why

    00:21:44
    what we're here to achieve is to be prosperous.

    00:21:47
    But what does that word mean Really?

    00:21:50
    Really, it means exactly what you're saying not how much money

    00:21:55
    you can accumulate, but like how full of health and love and

    00:22:03
    the all of those riches, yeah yeah, yeah, it's interesting,

    00:22:09
    it's a, it's a.

    00:22:10
    Speaker 1: I mean, it's a long game as well, isn't it?

    00:22:12
    I've done a little bit of, you know, just reading, watching

    00:22:17
    videos, different people that I've sort of follow online and

    00:22:19
    that sort of thing, and obviously the Gene Keys approach

    00:22:23
    as well.

    00:22:24
    Um, what was I going to say?

    00:22:32
    What?

    00:22:32
    Um, what?

    00:22:33
    Something that's kind of popped up is like we're actually that,

    00:22:35
    this idea that we've actually chosen the body that we

    00:22:37
    incarnate into, but the human experience that we're having

    00:22:41
    right now and so, you know, karma comes into that dharma,

    00:22:45
    you know being exactly where you are right now to learn the

    00:22:48
    lessons but but that we've actually we have chosen this

    00:22:54
    particular experience and for it to unfold in this particular

    00:22:58
    way, which I think is a really interesting and kind of

    00:23:02
    reassuring concept.

    00:23:04
    What do you feel about that?

    00:23:16
    Speaker 2: um, what do you, what do you feel about that?

    00:23:18
    I, I think it is.

    00:23:18
    It is spot on.

    00:23:18
    It's like and now the the, you know, having gone into a

    00:23:21
    shamanic path, I do a lot of like meditations and journeys

    00:23:25
    and kind of going into the other realm and sort of feeling into

    00:23:30
    where my this, this moment of my soul is, where, where that is

    00:23:36
    in in terms of its bigger incarnation.

    00:23:38
    I don't know that I want to get into the idea of different

    00:23:43
    incarnations or past lives, because I think that's a whole

    00:23:45
    other topic it does feel like my soul your like, at least, and I

    00:23:52
    can only speak for my soul.

    00:23:53
    It does feel like my soul chose to be here and and that everyone

    00:23:59
    it has met is there to teach it a lesson that I'm here to learn

    00:24:05
    from all of my relationships and that I am here to to do

    00:24:11
    things and that one of the biggest things that I'm here to

    00:24:14
    learn in life is to try and let go of the fears that I have that

    00:24:22
    prevent me from being me.

    00:24:25
    Yeah, and that is that's the we were talking about.

    00:24:30
    Evolution.

    00:24:31
    I would love, I was excited to talk about this.

    00:24:33
    This is the unlearning, this is the you know devolving, because

    00:24:38
    you're really trying to come back into your, your essence,

    00:24:41
    your yourself, so that you can express that person that you

    00:24:45
    were meant to be, that you, just because of karma, because of

    00:24:49
    ancestral wounds, because of fears, because of societal

    00:24:53
    conditioning, you don't feel like you can step into it.

    00:24:55
    But there's all these opportunities along the way,

    00:24:58
    there's all these people we meet , you know like, oh, I meet this

    00:25:01
    amazing person, nadine, and we have this beautiful conversation

    00:25:04
    because these are all supposed to happen, yes, and all of these

    00:25:08
    moments are here to help us come into who we are.

    00:25:15
    Speaker 1: And I really do believe that and I feel like

    00:25:17
    that, like I feel that as a truth, not just as a an idea,

    00:25:22
    that like an opinion, it feels right to me, yeah, yeah, I agree

    00:25:26
    , and I'm, and I'm really also like I don't know what words to

    00:25:36
    use for it but like being much more aware of when I see those

    00:25:43
    things that bug me.

    00:25:45
    I'm starting to see, like how that's part that's me, like,

    00:25:52
    yeah, like what is that in that person or that situation that

    00:25:55
    bugs me is like where do I do that or where have I not healed

    00:26:02
    from that?

    00:26:03
    And like that idea of um, yeah, it it reflecting back something

    00:26:09
    that I actually need to focus on and that that that's not a

    00:26:13
    bad thing.

    00:26:14
    Yeah, in fact it's, yeah, it's part of that um process of

    00:26:19
    healing and understanding and accepting others and ourselves.

    00:26:23
    But one thing I also um along this journey, like because we we

    00:26:29
    often say you know that there is often that idea of you know

    00:26:33
    these things coming into our lives for those reasons, for us

    00:26:37
    to you know, look at ourselves and how we react.

    00:26:40
    But I think we also need to remind ourselves that when we

    00:26:44
    meet other beautiful people, they're also a reflection of who

    00:26:49
    we are.

    00:26:50
    Um, yeah, so it can be easy to kind of focus on the, the darker

    00:26:56
    side or, you know that, trying to fix what's broken or what's

    00:27:02
    wrong with me, but it's about like, yeah, seeing seeing the

    00:27:06
    beauty in all of those things.

    00:27:08
    I think I went off on a tangent there yeah no, it's, it's

    00:27:12
    perfect.

    00:27:12
    Speaker 2: I mean, that was part of my um.

    00:27:15
    You know the, the teachings that I learned when I was doing

    00:27:19
    my shamanic course, you know, are very tied to Carl Jung and

    00:27:23
    the shadow work.

    00:27:24
    And one of you know, if you're familiar, which I think everyone

    00:27:28
    at this point probably has heard of Carl Jung and shadows.

    00:27:31
    But what you're saying is very true.

    00:27:34
    Like everything that everyone we meet, our whole reality

    00:27:39
    almost, is a projection of ourselves, because it's how we

    00:27:42
    see the world around us, it's our lens and it's our shadows

    00:27:48
    and, yes, they're all mirrors and it's our shadows and, yes,

    00:27:54
    they're all mirrors.

    00:27:55
    So, you know, if, if there's something in my husband that

    00:27:58
    annoys me, that's my shadow.

    00:27:59
    If there's something in my husband that I'm, um, you know,

    00:28:02
    really respecting and think is an amazing trait, that's also my

    00:28:07
    shadow because, like our heroes and our villains, are the

    00:28:11
    pieces of us that we maybe haven't figured out, that we

    00:28:15
    have within us, because they're triggering us in some way.

    00:28:18
    And I think that's where real healing comes in is just

    00:28:22
    stepping back and like letting you yeah, like you said, to give

    00:28:27
    , give space to both the fact that, yeah, we have some wounds

    00:28:30
    that we'd rather not face, or some you know that, that we all

    00:28:34
    have a little devil inside of us , but we all have an angel

    00:28:37
    inside of us too, and that's it.

    00:28:41
    That's a pretty, pretty powerful, empowering thing to

    00:28:47
    feel into if we want to think about, you know, empowering us

    00:28:52
    as humans to start to shift how we think about it, like, just

    00:28:56
    feel into that, to our amazing traits, to the things that make

    00:29:00
    us wonderful and powerful in a in a loving way, not powerful in

    00:29:06
    like a dictator way yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cool.

    00:29:15
    Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of um.

    00:29:16
    There was a couple of things there, but I would love to um, I

    00:29:24
    would love to hear more about that shift that you went through

    00:29:27
    .

    00:29:27
    Like you mentioned that you lost your mum um three years ago

    00:29:32
    , so that must be.

    00:29:33
    It must have been an extremely difficult time, and probably

    00:29:37
    still is.

    00:29:37
    Um, yeah, oh, how do you?

    00:29:44
    Was that when you began to realize that life was worth like

    00:29:51
    your purpose?

    00:29:52
    Was that the?

    00:29:54
    That was like the, the moment.

    00:29:57
    Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    00:29:58
    That was the big, that was the big crisis that that made me

    00:30:03
    step back and think about you know, what was I doing with my

    00:30:09
    life?

    00:30:10
    Did I feel that I was doing everything, or was?

    00:30:12
    I and a lot of it was my mom, um was very healthy and then she

    00:30:18
    suddenly, you know, got sick with cancer.

    00:30:20
    So it was like pretty sudden, yeah and um, so it was very

    00:30:25
    shocking.

    00:30:25
    It was shocking, uh, in a lot of ways and ways.

    00:30:29
    And then she was, she went in for like the beginning of her

    00:30:33
    treatment.

    00:30:33
    She was having some radiation and then that led to like this

    00:30:39
    massive artery exploding and she was in the hospital like almost

    00:30:44
    dying, like right after treatment started, so it was

    00:30:47
    like even more like it was like even more like it was just like

    00:30:51
    I mean just very shocking.

    00:30:54
    and so those those kind of things, though they shake you up

    00:30:58
    and I mean we talk about how everything happens for part of

    00:31:04
    your soul plan like these things are really important too, even

    00:31:07
    though they're very stressful.

    00:31:10
    And, as I was in my stressful work where I'm like trying to

    00:31:17
    balance people who need me and they're on my phone all the time

    00:31:21
    and I'm trying to have zoom meetings with my coworkers and

    00:31:24
    with these contractors and my mom is like in hospice and I'm

    00:31:30
    still somehow supposed to put my work as a higher priority than

    00:31:35
    my mom who's dying, it's like what is wrong with this world?

    00:31:42
    This is not the world that that I want to live in, that any of

    00:31:50
    us should live in.

    00:31:51
    None of us should be living in this world that continues to

    00:31:54
    prioritize like what we perceive as important over what's really

    00:32:02
    important.

    00:32:03
    you, know love and life and family and and all the things

    00:32:07
    that you were saying earlier about that feel like prosperity.

    00:32:11
    So, yeah, that was that was the big shift, and I think that's

    00:32:15
    when I decided to go, like I was doing my yoga and deeper

    00:32:22
    meditations, and I just felt that I really needed to go

    00:32:25
    inside and to start learning more about what was inside of me

    00:32:29
    , um, to figure out how I could realign um with what, what was

    00:32:36
    like the bigger purpose in my life.

    00:32:39
    And so I think that did lead me into to shamanism, because it's

    00:32:43
    a very um, it's a very quick and deep way to get to your

    00:32:48
    inner self, like, if you want to really dive in and find out

    00:32:53
    what's on the other side of the veil, go down that road.

    00:33:02
    Speaker 1: It's kind of like tempting, but a bit scary at the

    00:33:05
    same time.

    00:33:07
    Speaker 2: It's.

    00:33:07
    You know, I had done yoga for many years and, um, um, actually

    00:33:12
    my teacher is is, uh, australian, and I went to India

    00:33:16
    with her and it's a very soft practice.

    00:33:18
    It's very powerful but it's very soft.

    00:33:20
    It's kind of like water and the the shamanic practices are like

    00:33:24
    fire.

    00:33:25
    But if you need to, if you need big shifts, if you're feeling

    00:33:30
    that the world just is is not right and you want to shed a

    00:33:35
    whole bunch of the past or fears or traumas, it's a very good

    00:33:40
    way to to really dive in and to do it wow, it's really

    00:33:46
    interesting, isn't it?

    00:33:47
    Speaker 1: like I was talking about, like, how, um, you know

    00:33:50
    opportunities have changed for us and that you don't have to

    00:33:53
    stick with the same thing for the rest of your life, but also

    00:33:58
    there seems to be this big shift towards like healing trauma,

    00:34:01
    and like people are much more aware of these parts of

    00:34:07
    themselves that need healing.

    00:34:09
    Um and um, like it took me a while to sort of grasp what all

    00:34:19
    that meant, and it's been, you know, part of my process.

    00:34:23
    It's just like you know, if you understand more and more about

    00:34:27
    what that means, um, but how that healing is almost like an

    00:34:35
    essential part of then being able to get back to that loving.

    00:34:40
    What did you refer to yourself as being?

    00:34:44
    That big ball of love, big ball of love.

    00:34:49
    Speaker 2: Big ball of love.

    00:34:50
    Yeah, that's in planning skills .

    00:34:58
    Speaker 1: But yeah, that we need to go through.

    00:35:03
    It's almost like we need to go through it, but it's hard, right

    00:35:07
    ?

    00:35:07
    It requires some what did I say ?

    00:35:12
    Curiosity to start with, and then some determination and some

    00:35:18
    bravery.

    00:35:19
    Yeah, lots of courage, Courage yeah, lots of courage, but it's

    00:35:25
    almost like facing that stuff is almost like an essential part

    00:35:32
    of being able to move to the next step, although it kind of

    00:35:38
    comes in layers, doesn't it?

    00:35:41
    Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's spirals, it's like or onion

    00:35:44
    layers or you know.

    00:35:45
    Speaker 1: but yes, there's, there's, yeah so it's not like

    00:35:49
    you can't, it's not like you have to do all of the work in

    00:35:53
    inverted commas before you can feel the you know, feel the love

    00:35:58
    .

    00:35:58
    Let's just say keep it simple Like yeah, it does kind of shift

    00:36:04
    , doesn't it?

    00:36:04
    It's like you get these like little pockets of feedback where

    00:36:09
    things just start to feel better, or you realize, oh, I

    00:36:12
    didn't get triggered by that experience.

    00:36:14
    Even though like you weren't deliberately focusing on that

    00:36:18
    thing.

    00:36:18
    You're like oh, oh, I'm not as angry anymore.

    00:36:21
    Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, it's an interesting what I think one

    00:36:27
    of the the gifts if I can be so bold is to say that that that

    00:36:31
    I've been given in this whole process of healing people.

    00:36:35
    People have come to me for healing and have come to me with

    00:36:39
    traumas or just feeling bad, just, or sad or just hurt.

    00:36:50
    You know just heavy is.

    00:36:54
    You know you come in, your heart has been closed down

    00:36:58
    because the world just doesn't care or doesn't.

    00:37:02
    You know, and and and I and they and they come and they're

    00:37:05
    just kind of afraid and kind of scared and what I do is first

    00:37:14
    make them feel held, make them feel that they are held by.

    00:37:22
    Not maybe they didn't have a great mother and father, maybe

    00:37:25
    they did, or maybe it doesn't even matter, but that the world

    00:37:29
    is holding us, that that the earth is holding us, that the

    00:37:33
    stars are holding us, you know the astrology of the planets is

    00:37:37
    holding us and that we are loved .

    00:37:40
    You know, if you believe in a creator, that the creator is

    00:37:43
    holding us and then in that love and that support, starting to

    00:37:51
    look at one of your fears or looking at one of your wounds

    00:37:55
    with that kind of lens of love is a little less scary.

    00:38:02
    So that's kind of how I try and approach it and I think it's a

    00:38:05
    much more feminine approach than like when I learned shamanism

    00:38:10
    it was, it is.

    00:38:12
    It was like kind of the I did the four winds, but Dr Alberto

    00:38:16
    Villota was amazing, but it's a masculine approach, even though

    00:38:22
    it is a very, a very feminine.

    00:38:23
    You know, all shamanism is much more feminine but it is

    00:38:25
    masculine, it is fire, and so I am trying to bring in more of

    00:38:29
    that nurturing, you know, earth and water and and just kind of

    00:38:35
    holding people so that it isn't quite so kind of like Richard

    00:38:38
    Rudd.

    00:38:39
    He's just very soft and I think that helps people feel that

    00:38:45
    facing their traumas and healing so that they can find love and

    00:38:49
    joy in their life isn't such a daunting task.

    00:38:52
    Because it shouldn't.

    00:38:53
    It shouldn't have to be no.

    00:38:58
    Speaker 1: No, so let's get finally get a little bit deeper

    00:39:03
    into what shamanic healing is, or shamanic medicine and like

    00:39:11
    what.

    00:39:11
    Yeah, so what is it?

    00:39:13
    And then you know what would one expect to experience when

    00:39:18
    they come for healing, healing session.

    00:39:21
    Okay, is it talking or is it ritualistic?

    00:39:24
    Speaker 2: a bit of both.

    00:39:25
    Sure, and I can, I will talk about so, like I was just saying

    00:39:30
    .

    00:39:30
    So I learned the shamanic energy medicine, yeah, um, as

    00:39:34
    developed by dr albert tobyalba and the Four Winds, which are

    00:39:38
    based on the Peruvian shamans, the Quechua, the Andean people,

    00:39:46
    the caros of that area.

    00:39:48
    So if you were to ask what a healing from a Native American

    00:39:53
    tribe looks like, it would probably be different, but I

    00:39:57
    think that from a energy healing that is somewhat universal,

    00:40:03
    right, so this is an energy healing, so it's not entirely

    00:40:06
    unlike reiki, but reiki is, let's say, from japan.

    00:40:09
    So that's a different tradition , different technique.

    00:40:12
    For my healing is person comes in um, either in person or on

    00:40:17
    the zoom, because energy healing does work uh, remotely, like

    00:40:22
    you don't have to be in the same physical space as a person.

    00:40:25
    Yeah, um, you, you kind of, first of all it's just intuitive

    00:40:33
    listening.

    00:40:33
    It's that what?

    00:40:36
    What is first of all, what is the person struggling with, and

    00:40:40
    then what is behind that thing, and so that's part of I mean, I

    00:40:47
    think that you know they, shamanism teaches that there's

    00:40:51
    this sort of world beyond what we can see, and so as you begin

    00:40:56
    to feel into that, that beyond realm, you can start to

    00:41:01
    understand what is beyond what their words are.

    00:41:04
    And then the idea is that our let's say, our traumas, our

    00:41:10
    wounds, all have little energetic imprints within our

    00:41:15
    body and especially within the chakra system, our body and

    00:41:23
    especially within the the chakra system, and that they, because

    00:41:25
    our mind and our body and our memories like we're just this

    00:41:26
    big energetic connected being so , they will go.

    00:41:30
    So let's say you have, um, a big trauma around something that

    00:41:37
    happened in your childhood and that trauma you just can't seem

    00:41:42
    to get into a good relationship with a man or a woman because

    00:41:47
    that keeps repeating itself.

    00:41:49
    It's this repeating pattern story and it lives in your body

    00:41:52
    now.

    00:41:54
    And so that energy before you can need, before you can start

    00:42:00
    shifting your perspective, you just got to clear that energy.

    00:42:03
    So for starters it's just finding where that energy lives

    00:42:06
    in the chakra system and then bringing intention into that,

    00:42:11
    healing and clearing that system out.

    00:42:13
    And then you, you clear the negative, the heavy I don't like

    00:42:17
    to use the word negative, let's say heavy energy.

    00:42:19
    Give it to the fire, give it to the earth, let it mulch, and

    00:42:23
    you bring in nice, clean, clear, golden light from the universe

    00:42:27
    and just fill that chakra system and then your systems start

    00:42:33
    working smoothly, you're lighter , you're a little bit more open,

    00:42:36
    more open, and then if you can start doing your own personal

    00:42:45
    work you know, as as the client on on creating new habits and

    00:42:46
    new patterns, then you're you're kind of cleared and you can

    00:42:49
    have a big shift.

    00:42:49
    So that's the sort of the guts of a shamanic energy healing.

    00:42:55
    But beyond, behind it, is this acknowledgement that there is

    00:43:01
    spirit working, that there is the ancestors, that there is

    00:43:08
    these sort of higher powers that are working.

    00:43:12
    And when you open up to them, when you open that healing

    00:43:16
    system up, then bigger shifts can happen within, within your

    00:43:22
    whole trajectory, and that's a little bit harder to explain.

    00:43:27
    But that's where the miracles and the magic really happen.

    00:43:30
    When you're like, okay, well, I came in for this, this like

    00:43:35
    little thing, but now it's, the created is cascade, and now my

    00:43:39
    heart is open and I'm full of love and grace has descended on

    00:43:43
    me and I'm like, wow, because that can happen, like those

    00:43:48
    things happen, because the world is this beautiful, benevolent

    00:43:51
    place that wants to bring joy and grace and love back into

    00:43:55
    your system.

    00:43:56
    That you have been feeling I'm not saying you need, I'm like

    00:43:59
    talking about like the big you.

    00:44:01
    It's like we've been feeling like we're just this, like small

    00:44:06
    , disempowered, sad thing, and the world is like, no, you're

    00:44:12
    amazing, you are beautiful, you are radiant light, and like when

    00:44:17
    that can come back in in in one of my healing sessions and like

    00:44:20
    that downloads back into that person and they feel that and

    00:44:23
    they're like oh, and I'm like yay, oh, my god that sounds

    00:44:29
    amazing.

    00:44:31
    Speaker 1: does it last like?

    00:44:35
    Do they continue to feel like that or is there still an

    00:44:38
    ongoing like?

    00:44:40
    Speaker 2: That depends on the person that depends on the

    00:44:44
    person.

    00:44:44
    Speaker 1: Like just take over, can't it?

    00:44:47
    Like you'd have these amazing experiences, but but like if you

    00:44:50
    don't kind of stay connected with them?

    00:44:53
    Like little by little, the old habits can start to.

    00:44:58
    They can sneak back.

    00:44:59
    Speaker 2: That's yeah, that is the truth.

    00:45:01
    Like we can have these glimpses of our own perfection and this

    00:45:08
    happened to me, you know, for many, many years.

    00:45:11
    During yoga, you have a meditation and you start to

    00:45:14
    experience this, but if you do not make shifts in your life to

    00:45:18
    align with that, you will go back to being that, like what

    00:45:24
    you were before.

    00:45:25
    And yes, so there are.

    00:45:26
    There are people that I have seen that take that into, like

    00:45:31
    they say, okay, I am going to make changes in my life to align

    00:45:35
    with, like, I am going to get rid of that toxic relationship

    00:45:39
    that isn't serving me.

    00:45:41
    I am going to do these things.

    00:45:43
    And then there are people that are really addicted to their

    00:45:45
    story of suffering and they aren't ready to make those

    00:45:53
    changes and I can't control, excuse me, if that person is

    00:45:59
    going to or not, but I can give them the potential and at least

    00:46:03
    show them that it's out there, yeah, and maybe hopefully give,

    00:46:09
    give people the tools to keep, like you were saying, to keep

    00:46:13
    reconnecting and to to ask spirit and ask the universe to

    00:46:18
    help bring in that prosperity.

    00:46:21
    Because this is what I believe is that when you shine out as

    00:46:31
    who you are, when you are prosperity, when you are love,

    00:46:36
    when you are joy, those things will reflect back to you.

    00:46:42
    Just like you were saying, when we mirror the people, like we

    00:46:46
    attract what we are, we don't attract, like we don't manifest

    00:46:51
    by saying, oh, I want a shiny red car.

    00:46:55
    Oh, and you say that to yourself every morning and then

    00:46:57
    the shiny red car appears.

    00:46:59
    You would you manifest it by just being full of whatever it

    00:47:04
    is that you want to be.

    00:47:06
    Speaker 1: If you want to be prosperous, you should feel

    00:47:09
    prosperous yeah, and I one thing I've noticed recently, like,

    00:47:17
    obviously, um, spending more time and they say that you're

    00:47:21
    the sum of the people that you spend the most time with.

    00:47:24
    Right, when you see someone who is living as themselves,

    00:47:34
    authentically, in a loving way.

    00:47:38
    Because I think that when people you know, for example on

    00:47:41
    social media, when someone's bagging someone else out, that's

    00:47:43
    probably not them being authentic, like there's probably

    00:47:47
    a whole bunch of wounding stuff and fear that's going, yeah,

    00:47:51
    that's coming out of their mouth .

    00:47:53
    When you see someone who is embodying these kind of

    00:47:59
    principles in their life, there's nothing about them that

    00:48:02
    you can't like.

    00:48:03
    Even if they say something that you don't necessarily agree

    00:48:07
    with or understand, they don't say it because they want to tell

    00:48:12
    you that that's what you should be.

    00:48:13
    Or you know there's I don't know, there's just and and you

    00:48:18
    feel like I mean Richard Rudd is a perfect example.

    00:48:23
    When he talks to people, he talks to them as another human

    00:48:28
    being.

    00:48:29
    He doesn't talk to them as Richard Rudd, who's written

    00:48:33
    these amazing books and doing all these amazing things in the

    00:48:35
    world.

    00:48:35
    He's not like up on his pedestal things in the world and

    00:48:42
    he's not like up on his pedestal um, you can really see

    00:48:43
    that he's like just connected to whoever he's talking to, and um

    00:48:45
    , yes, it's.

    00:48:46
    Uh.

    00:48:46
    I've gone off on another tangent, erin um, I love

    00:48:53
    tangents.

    00:48:54
    Speaker 2: They're beautiful things to go on.

    00:48:56
    Speaker 1: Oh, it's so beautiful yeah, I can't remember what I

    00:49:01
    was saying anyway, but anyway, we're talking about authentic

    00:49:07
    people, yes, or that.

    00:49:08
    Speaker 2: Yeah, it just just being and that kind of healing,

    00:49:11
    I guess.

    00:49:12
    Yeah, yeah, there's nothing.

    00:49:13
    Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing you don't like because we have

    00:49:15
    that.

    00:49:16
    That's where I was going with it.

    00:49:17
    We, we kind of have this fear, or I certainly do personally.

    00:49:19
    What will people think of me?

    00:49:22
    Speaker 2: if I do this.

    00:49:26
    Speaker 1: But when you're doing the things, when you're being

    00:49:30
    who you're being authentically for want of a better word you

    00:49:35
    know we hear a lot of that be your authentic self business but

    00:49:38
    like if you're deeply being your authentic self, like

    00:49:42
    without any of that kind of negative self-talk, when you're

    00:49:45
    going from a place of love, people feel it regardless of

    00:49:50
    what you're saying.

    00:49:51
    You're not offensive, you're not out to hurt anyone or be

    00:49:57
    better than anyone.

    00:49:58
    You're just like living who you want to be, which I think

    00:50:03
    probably back right at the beginning of our conversation,

    00:50:06
    was something that you talked about.

    00:50:08
    Speaker 2: right, that you weren't, didn't feel, yeah,

    00:50:10
    wrong, you were being yourself well, I think that what you were

    00:50:14
    saying just really hit on a really nice point.

    00:50:18
    A little little bumble over here Like this, this idea of

    00:50:25
    like this authentic self that doesn't feel authentic because

    00:50:29
    it's from like a wound or it's.

    00:50:31
    It's like I'm afraid to be myself, but I'm going to go out

    00:50:35
    and like be myself with like kind of gritted teeth or you

    00:50:39
    know, and just like and it's.

    00:50:41
    I think it's like that's our ego really getting getting

    00:50:46
    involved in the situation instead of just our heart, like

    00:50:51
    leading from our heart, will just show us the way.

    00:50:57
    And then the and that's.

    00:50:59
    I tell a lot of people that like I'm, like I don't really trust

    00:51:02
    my mind, and they're like, really, and I'm like, yeah, my

    00:51:09
    mind is, is it's a problem, it's it's good for doing math and

    00:51:17
    yeah, driving a car, but from in terms of being our authentic

    00:51:23
    self or feeling into what my sole purpose is or what I should

    00:51:29
    talk to Nadine about in the podcast, no, it won't do me much

    00:51:33
    good.

    00:51:33
    Like my heart is going to guide me into what feels right.

    00:51:38
    And that's when you said going to guide me into what feels

    00:51:42
    right.

    00:51:43
    Speaker 1: And that's when you said, like it's about being with

    00:51:44
    love, because that's you're just radiating who you are and

    00:51:46
    who you are, who we all are, is love and joy and connection yeah

    00:51:52
    , and when you do see those things in others and you think,

    00:51:56
    oh, wow, that person's amazing, you, you kind of yeah, that that

    00:52:01
    they're part of who you are as well.

    00:52:04
    So I think that's a really good reminder.

    00:52:05
    Um, but also when we don't feel , you know, if we worry, you

    00:52:11
    know, come off the podcast, for example, and we're worried about

    00:52:14
    did I say the right thing?

    00:52:15
    Oh, I went off on a tangent.

    00:52:17
    You know the, you know my the mind, to listen with love as

    00:52:24
    well and compassion for yourself , that like there's a part of

    00:52:29
    you.

    00:52:29
    That that's, you know, for whatever reason.

    00:52:33
    Speaker 2: Um, feeling those feelings, yeah, um, yeah, and

    00:52:39
    they're valid and and the tangents that we go on are

    00:52:43
    because we were supposed to go on them.

    00:52:46
    You know, like that is the flow .

    00:52:48
    The flow just goes where it goes and you know, every once in

    00:52:51
    a while we have to come back and look at our watch or say, oh

    00:52:54
    my, how have we been talking for an hour?

    00:52:56
    But um, that's, that's the beauty of being in the flow, and

    00:53:00
    this is something that that, as I've released a lot of my

    00:53:04
    conditioning and given myself this opportunity to do a shift

    00:53:08
    and to step back, it's just fundamentally changed how I

    00:53:12
    approach the world.

    00:53:13
    So even like, okay, you know, I need to make some money.

    00:53:17
    I'm going to start doing some architecture again.

    00:53:19
    I'm going to do, you know, some , some stuff.

    00:53:21
    I'm going to do it in a totally different way than I would have

    00:53:24
    three years ago.

    00:53:25
    Speaker 1: Yeah.

    00:53:25
    Speaker 2: And that's what's important is that we I have

    00:53:29
    shifted into how I look at the world and how I flow with the

    00:53:33
    world and how I show up in the world.

    00:53:36
    And so then, no matter what we do whether I do shamanic healing

    00:53:41
    or write a book or design a building, it doesn't matter what

    00:53:46
    we do a podcast and being an actress it matters how we do it,

    00:53:50
    how we show up.

    00:53:51
    That's what's important.

    00:53:53
    Like that, we're showing up in love and light and compassion

    00:53:58
    and kindness.

    00:53:59
    That's it.

    00:54:00
    Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.

    00:54:02
    And, as you said, wherever you are right now, you're exactly

    00:54:05
    where you're meant to be.

    00:54:05
    So, even if you think it's going to be a certain way and it

    00:54:08
    doesn't turn out the way that or it leads in a completely

    00:54:12
    different direction, it's like you did this thing to get to

    00:54:16
    that next place.

    00:54:18
    Speaker 2: Yeah.

    00:54:19
    Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great perspective to have and yeah

    00:54:29
    like you said, it's uh feels like truth.

    00:54:31
    We have going back to the time, we have reached an hour, but

    00:54:36
    you've had, you've given us so many words of wisdom and I know

    00:54:39
    that you're um, well, the, the magic word in this episode has

    00:54:44
    absolutely been love.

    00:54:45
    Um, but do you have anything that you just to put you on the

    00:54:50
    spot, really anything?

    00:54:52
    Anything that you would like to close the conversation with a

    00:54:56
    message to the listeners, like anything?

    00:55:01
    Speaker 2: final thoughts.

    00:55:02
    Final thoughts if I could leave one thought with all of your

    00:55:07
    listeners, it would be take a moment each day to feel into

    00:55:15
    your heart and to feel into love and joy and gratitude for both

    00:55:23
    of those.

    00:55:24
    And if you aren't finding that, if you're, if you're lost and

    00:55:28
    are not feeling any of those words, then maybe go sit outside

    00:55:32
    for a minute until you can feel it, because it's everywhere

    00:55:35
    around you, it's in all the breath.

    00:55:39
    Speaker 1: It's just about reconnecting with it yeah,

    00:55:42
    that's beautiful, great advice and maybe get a shamanic healing

    00:55:47
    from you.

    00:55:49
    Speaker 2: Yeah check out my book.

    00:55:50
    Can I show you my book?

    00:55:52
    Speaker 1: yeah, please how cool finding love balance and

    00:55:56
    harmony for ourselves for ourselves, for the world right

    00:56:00
    and where can we get hold of that?
