And Leona, you will recognize this quote because 65 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: you know we've been doing. 66 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Our research and we read your book. 67 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the quote comes from the book. We will 68 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: get the same message in different ways until we are 69 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: ready to move on to something else. Now, I'm gonna 70 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: repeat that one more time for the people in the back, 71 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: because I need you to catch this quote. We will 72 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: get the same message in different ways until we are 73 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: ready to move on to something else. Woof all, right, 74 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: leon you with that quote, we're already, like you already 75 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: have us wrapped up and and ready to hear all 76 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: the gems you have to offer. So when you hear 77 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: your words being reflected back to you, what comes up 78 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: for you around this particular quote. 79 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: I think you asked me this question at a very 80 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 2: interesting time. It feels sensitive and warm. When I wrote 81 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: those words, I was obviously talking about feeling stuck sometimes 82 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: or just not really getting whatever it is that we're 83 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: needing to grow. He'll expand, level up, release whatever it 84 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: is that's most needed in the moment and the grace 85 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: sometimes that we're given by the Divine, by God, whoever 86 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: it is that you believe in, that the lessons will 87 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: keep settling us right, that they will be the teacher 88 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: that is life itself is going to keep calling us 89 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: into the classroom. And at this point in time where 90 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: I'm in my life now hearing those words, the thing 91 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: that really comes up to me is actually how to 92 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: recognize that you're in a new place, because I feel 93 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: like we do experience so many cycles in life, you know, 94 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: like you know when people talk about healing not being linear, 95 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: So we can often revisit things, and sometimes things can 96 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: be happening that make us think you haven't caught the 97 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: lesson or you're still in the same place, and it's 98 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: not true. But we have these like memories in our bodies, 99 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: we have these emotions, we have these fears, and so 100 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: something seeming familiar can like throw up alarm signals inside 101 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: us that's like I haven't learned the lesson. I haven't 102 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: learned the lesson. And then we go hard right, like 103 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: we go, oh my gosh, that I'm just going to 104 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: I'm going to get it right this time. And sometimes 105 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: it's not that you haven't learnt the lesson, but that 106 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: you are in the same place at a higher level, right, 107 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: You're in the same place at a different vibration, so 108 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: to speak. You're in the same place creating something new, 109 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: You're in the same place closing down cycles. And so 110 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: I think there needs like as you mature and as 111 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: you grow and you explore your personal development or your spirituality, 112 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: some discernment around whether it is your stock and your 113 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: repeating lessons or you're revisiting themes and patterns in life. 114 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: Oh girl, I got yous, I got I'm excited. Let's 115 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: dive in. It kind of reminds me Leona of you 116 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 4: know how when you had to take like algebra in school, 117 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 4: and then you go to the next level. You still 118 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: cover algebra, but it's like a different level. It might 119 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 4: be algebra two now, and so you have some of 120 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: the same fundamentals, but you're like, yeah, this is familiar. 121 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: I love the way that you painted that picture, and 122 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: we want to dig into your story the owner. But 123 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 4: can we just I have I got three part question 124 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 4: for you. Can we ground ourselves in or on taro? 125 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: Like what is it? How does it work? And then 126 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: what belief system is required for one to benefit from 127 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: the use of taro? Because I know I grew up 128 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 4: very religious. I grew up in church, in church every 129 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: Sunday and Bible study and you know, you know, you 130 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: know the church. We're saying about tearror and stuff like that, 131 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: and can we address the elephant in the room before 132 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: we dive in a bit deeper. And I'll put my 133 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: questions in the chat just so you remember, because I know. 134 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: Great for me. Let me just get the chata. 135 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 4: Okay. 136 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: So, like you, I'm churched. I grew up in Pensacostal 137 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: Black Church, super religious, baptized every ministry you could possibly 138 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: think of. I was immersed in that space. And of 139 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: course was talk growing up that Tara was like a 140 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: form of witchcraft or you know, you don't go to soothsayers, 141 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: you don't do the the nation, and so it was 142 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: something that I really avoided. And we can get deeper 143 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: into my story. But to answer your questions about really 144 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: what Tara is, it's really an illustration of human archetypes. 145 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: That's what we want to start from. So we're talking 146 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: about a deck like people familiar with playing cards. It's 147 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 2: going to be a similar kind of shape, and then 148 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: it's going to have imagery on it, and those imagery 149 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: take us through the kind of side calls and life experiences. 150 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: So we can have death and births and marriages and 151 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: career progressions and frustrations and breakups, and the cards are 152 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: really depicting the human experience and the way that we 153 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: are experiencing. You know how we talked about earlier the 154 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: psycus of life and this idea that you know, I 155 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: still draw so much wisdom from the Bible, So even 156 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 2: the scripture that says that there's nothing new under the sun, right, 157 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: I love that because you have this deck of cards, 158 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: seventy plus cards, and it doesn't change like it is 159 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 2: what it is. It's just this set of symbols about 160 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: our life experience, and you can keep revisiting these symbols 161 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: to see where you are in your life and how 162 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: they're showing up. So in the same way that you 163 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: asked me about the words I'd written in my book 164 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: and I received it differently this time, twa can be 165 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: like that. There are sort of pictures that you engage 166 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: with to see what is the new inspiration, the new 167 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: wisdom and new answers that you can draw from. The 168 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: other way that I like to think about taro is 169 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: as a language. So I love that you used algebra 170 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: and maths before, because that is a form of language. 171 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: It's not you know, English words, it's numbers, but it 172 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: has its like coded language, and we get that. And 173 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: two is another form of a language. It's like a 174 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: you could. I loved learning it. I fell in love 175 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: with learning the language of Taro. As a writer, as 176 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,119 Speaker 2: a storyteller, I was just like, oh, this is so beautiful. 177 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: I love weaving stories together. So it's a language that 178 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: you can use to interact with yourself, to really check 179 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: in and tap in with your emotions, with your mental space. Right, 180 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: It's a way that you can learn to have healthy 181 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: dialogue of self. We know lots of us have really 182 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: harsh in our mental critics. You know, our minds can 183 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: be really unruly and fearful. So it's a really good 184 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: way of getting intimate with your own mental space and 185 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: teaching yourself to love and care for your internal world. 186 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: But of course it is a spiritual practice for many 187 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: of us, and so you can also use those cards 188 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: to be in what I would refer to as divine connection. 189 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: I think often about the work that I do now, 190 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: particularly when I work with communities, and you know, being 191 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: in church services and listening to the pasta and him 192 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: sitting with the Bible unchanged right, like it's just the 193 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: same words we've read it, and each week he's coming 194 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: with new inspiration, new insight, and I do the same. 195 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: You know, he sits in a divine space and communes 196 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. I do the same. But my tool, 197 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: my my language for articulating and expressing my experience of 198 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: God is just different. But for me, the process, the 199 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: inspiration that being filled with like divine spirit, for me 200 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: is exactly the same. And so I feel like tower 201 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: is something that you get to define your relationship with 202 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: how far you want to take that. You don't have 203 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: to be communion with any spirits if you don't want 204 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: to be. You can absolutely use it as a wellness. 205 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: Too many people do, and ultimately that's how I started 206 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: because I was terrified, right Like, I was so scared. 207 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 2: So that was like me put in my toe in 208 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: like okay, wellness, only I didn't want this sprink stuff. 209 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: Hey lady, it's Terry here, dom and I want to 210 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 4: take a moment to thank you for choosing to listen 211 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: to our podcast.

My family are from Jamaica, so I'm 256 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: Jamaican descent. So my grandparents migrated from the Islands to 257 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: the UK kind of had their children here and then 258 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: their children gave birth to my generation. So I'm a 259 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: Londoner through and through. And as you've heard me talking about, 260 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: my family were like very religious. So I was like 261 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: raised in the church. You talked about church on Sunday. 262 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: It was like church on Tuesday, church on Thursday, church 263 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: on Friday, church on Saturday, church on Sunday, and then 264 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: prayer and fasted and then Sunday evenings. I like I lived. 265 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: I literally lived that church, and for me, there is 266 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: I felt like a deep preparation when I look back 267 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: on my life, particularly being a very creative person and 268 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: having this really safe space to explore and express all 269 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: my gifts and abilities and really be supported by community. 270 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: And then as a person who builds community, to have 271 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: grown up so immersed in community, I learned so much 272 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: for sure, and also preparing me. I feel like for 273 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 2: the spiritual experiences I have now, a lot of what 274 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: I do now, I understand from my time in the church. 275 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: So I experienced lots of religious trauma. I have to 276 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: be honest, you know, it was deeply in the church 277 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: that I spent my life and I joined when I 278 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: was seven. I left when I was twenty one, so 279 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: it felt like a ripping away of my roots. It 280 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: was very, very painful, very ostracizing for me, and I 281 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: spent six years after that just like so breaft and heartbroken. 282 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: Are the ways that I'd felt rejected, ostracized, not understood. 283 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: So the questions I was asking and the things that 284 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: I wanted to explore about the world around me, particularly blackness. Actually, 285 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: the conversation and the politics around race and identity in 286 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: the UK is not even It's nowhere near where things 287 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: are at in the States, and we recognize that things 288 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: are in a really difficult place in the States. There's 289 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: so much still so unspoken here. So in the church 290 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: space it also was really reflecting that kind of political apathy, 291 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: is what I would call it. So I'm looking around 292 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: at my community, I'm feeling this deep sense of love 293 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: devotion for wanting to see my community change and improve. 294 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm not really finding space in the church space to 295 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: really explore that, you know. So there was so much 296 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: pain around my identity. So I left the church. More 297 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: complex story than that, but I did and just spent 298 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: time feeling abandoned and really on love like I didn't 299 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: want to engage at all. And I've always been very intellectual, 300 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: really good in school, and it was my dream to 301 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: be an academic. So that's what I did. I was 302 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 2: just like, no more, God, I am going to just 303 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 2: like rely on my mind because that's what I can 304 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: trust it, and I can dig deep into things that 305 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: I'm sure about, things I really know. And so obviously 306 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: I did my undergrad degree and then I did my 307 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: master's and that's what I had, a PhD. And I 308 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: was just like and at a certain point, I think 309 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: I just was empty, Like I just my spirit was 310 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: just like crying out to be reawakened again, and just 311 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: like we cannot deny this off a part of ourselves 312 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: any longer. And I felt so split, you know, I 313 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 2: felt like I had this spiritual side and I had 314 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 2: this super intellectual side and they couldn't marry. And so actually, 315 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 2: I'm so touched and excited that my book gets to 316 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: have a US release because it was actually African Americans 317 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: who brought me to two. So you know, it was 318 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: like really not a big thing in the UK at 319 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 2: all and definitely where black women like me in that space. 320 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: But a friend of mine put me onto I won't 321 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: say her name now because she doesn't do twero anymore, 322 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: so I want to protect her identity. But she put 323 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: me onto an African American woman who was also a 324 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: Christian who was doing two, and that kind of made 325 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: me curious enough to watch. And she was an academic, 326 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: and so it also bridged that gap to me because 327 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, this is not a crazy person, 328 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: you know, like she has credential, she's sensible, so I 329 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 2: can listen. So I started listening, and then I just 330 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: found that I was falling in love with it, like 331 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: I just wanted to hear taro. I didn't even particularly 332 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: needed to be for me or I just liked it 333 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 2: in my environment. I was like, oh wow. And then 334 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: Tatiana two is really big in the US space and 335 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: with someone I started watching and engaging with, and I 336 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: was like, wow, look there's a black woman when she's incredible. 337 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: And I found the way that she used it just 338 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: to really lent itself to my fears, as in it 339 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: didn't feel overwhelming or to ruu right. She was very grounded, 340 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,239 Speaker 2: really practical. We're very similar places, we're great. Furthers, our 341 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: birthdays are the same day. Actually, yeah, So she really 342 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: was a way show for me. Like I watched her 343 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: and was like, Wow, this is really possible. And at 344 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: the same time, I was so depressed and exhausted in 345 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 2: academia and I was just like, I want a different 346 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: way of serving my community. I don't know this is 347 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: what I want anymore. And so really those worlds just 348 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: started to bridge. I was still community organizing at the university. 349 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: We had the Black Family Society. I was president there, 350 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: and so as I was exploring my spirituality, start bringing 351 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: it to that space because that space with black women 352 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: has always been safe for me, and they were so welcoming. 353 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: And that was one of the first groups of people 354 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: that I ever really started doing tarawan because I fell 355 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 2: in love with it deeply and then found that I 356 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: had a real natural affinity and gift for it. 357 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 4: That is so exciting. I feel like I could listen 358 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 4: to you talk all day. I see Dom's reaction over here, 359 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 4: I'm just like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Thank 360 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 4: you for sharing, Leona, thank you for sharing. And we're 361 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 4: going to dig more into this in just a bit. 362 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 4: But one of the things that we notice is that 363 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 4: Arthur Edward Waite is credited as the historical godfather of Tiaro, 364 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 4: and many people don't know that a Jamaican British woman 365 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 4: is the one who drew the iconic illustrations for his deck. 366 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 4: And so what are some of the other misconceptions or 367 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 4: little known facts about TiO that many people may not 368 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 4: be aware of. 369 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: I don't it's really interesting. I'm not sure, but there 370 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 2: are that many misconceptions, to be honest, I think that 371 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 2: there is an overall lack of knowledge really, like there's 372 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: just a sense of like it belongs to the occult, right, 373 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: like it's hocus Pokers. That's a misconception, I guess, But 374 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: I don't think that there is actually that much. It's 375 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: definitely not in the UK space that much stress or 376 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: information about tarots. So I don't think that people have 377 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 2: very varying or complicated like unknown facts. It's mainly just 378 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 2: the idea that is it collected to Satanism, well, like 379 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: devil worship or not. I think if I were to 380 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: talk about things that would be helpful to the kind 381 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: of debunk I think that there are like specific cards 382 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: in the deck that can be quite frightening for a 383 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: first time person, engaging, and I feel really blessed that 384 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: I get to work with loads of like I've had 385 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: a long standing I've been doing Taro therapy specifically for 386 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 2: three years, but I've been in the TOWOT space for 387 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: six and so I have a community and returning people 388 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: that I love working with, but all to have the 389 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: blessing of having so many newbies, like first time people 390 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: read having readings with me, and that is such a 391 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: special and sacred experience to make that something that is 392 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: safe and affirmative and affirmative for them. And so when 393 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: cards like the death card come out, you know, in 394 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: the reading or the devil card, and it's really quite 395 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 2: a nerve wracking thing. I've had readings myself, so I 396 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 2: know what it's like to be on the other side, 397 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: and it's quite like you don't know what's going to happen, 398 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: so you can feel a bit on the edge anyway. 399 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 2: And then you see the deaf card and you're asking 400 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 2: about maybe something you're hopeful about. It's kind of like, 401 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? But remembering that terror 402 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: is a symbolic language, and so a lot of what 403 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: you're seeing very rarely, if ever, is as plain as 404 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: the deaf card. Means you or someone's going to die, right. 405 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: It's about endings, completions, releasing of things. So I think 406 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: that understanding that that's the way to engage with it 407 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: can help people feel less fear around what the talk 408 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: is itself. And I think, to be honest, the more 409 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: that people understand it or engage and I think, the 410 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: less there will be fit even if they decide it's 411 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: not at all for them, because I have people in 412 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: my life who are just like, you know, I don't 413 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: use that or doesn't really resonate for me, and that's 414 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: totally fine, But I think that it is better to 415 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: be able to make that from that choice from an 416 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: informed place and be like, oh, that's not really a 417 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: toll that I use, or I use a different you know, 418 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: process of self development, rather than you know, I don't 419 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: believe in it or I'm frightened of it. I think 420 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: it's important that people get the chance to really understand 421 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: and experience it. 422 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 3: That makes perfect sense, yes, yes, and I can appreciate that. 423 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: And so when you have people who are curious and 424 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 3: it's their first time, I don't know how things are 425 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 3: in the UK, but a lot of times in America 426 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: you have people who aren't legit and will are willing 427 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: to take advantage of Thoults right. And so for someone 428 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 3: who is is trying terror for the first time, how 429 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: can they tell when a terror reader is legit? Like, 430 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 3: we want our folks out here to avoid being scamed, 431 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 3: So how do they know when a terror reader is legit? 432 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: And I think it's a good question because you have 433 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: the questions of whether this is a good person to 434 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 2: get reading from in general, and then you also have 435 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: another area that's happening on social media. There's a lot 436 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: of scamming, you know, So I have sometimes people impersonating 437 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: me on Instagram and you know, it happens so much. Yeah, 438 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 2: for spiritualists, they and astrologers too. Actually they really target 439 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: people by creating fake accounts and then messaging them and 440 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 2: saying I'd like to reach out to you for a reading. 441 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: And you know that person feels so like you know, 442 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: imagine that they look up to you or and they're like, 443 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this person's reached out to me, and 444 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: you know, it's very sicken into me because it really 445 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 2: praised them on the pure hearted and the vulnerable. So 446 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: I mean, starting there, like I think you should all 447 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: be dubious if someone is coming into your DMS and 448 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: offering you a reading, particularly if they're saying to you 449 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: that your ancestors sent them. No, like, if your ancestors 450 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 2: want to get a message to you, they can do that, 451 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 2: and they can also prompt you to go and find somebody. 452 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: But someone out of the blue that's talking to your 453 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: ancestors and you're not, I would really really question that, 454 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: how did my ancestors even find you? So let's start there. 455 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 2: So soliciting you for readings, I think is something you 456 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: should always like be cautious about, always being double checking. 457 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: It can be quite gratifying for the ego for you 458 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: to be contacted by, you know, someone who's an influencer 459 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 2: or d celebrity and you think are great. So there's that, 460 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: And then the other thing I think is you want 461 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: to substantiate that the person they may be a genuine 462 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 2: entire reader, but you want to substantiate that this is 463 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: the right person for you to be working with. And 464 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: the thing is you have people who are you know, 465 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: dishonest in the space, who see it as a way 466 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 2: to get money quickly, you know, who see a YouTube 467 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: space or the Tico space and often because I'm a reader, 468 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: you'll see people like poor cards and display cards and 469 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: give a message that's completely the opposite of what the 470 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 2: card says. But if you're not familiar with Tower, you 471 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: might not know that you know, And we talk about 472 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: this a lot as readers of like, it just has 473 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: no possible way to mean that. I know, we say 474 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: it's symbolic, but you know, when you pull the death card, 475 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that this person is desperately dying of 476 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: love for you, right like, that's not it's not the intipretation. 477 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: There are so many other cards in the deck that 478 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: can express you know, love and affection and intimacy. The 479 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 2: death card is not going to be the one to 480 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: come out and say that there's that. So I feel like, 481 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 2: you know, there are people who are doing reasons and 482 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: are very disingenuous. But my advice for getting a good 483 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: reading with a good reader is community. You should not 484 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: look at a Tower reading like it's like an e 485 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: commerce website or shoprofi, right like, you don't want to. 486 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: You don't want it to be like how you go 487 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 2: out and buy your coffee. It is not that you 488 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: are allowing yourself to be read to be intimately experienced 489 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: with somebody and you're taking counsel advice from them, which 490 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: even if you decide to do you want to discard it. 491 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: It's already entered your consciousness in some way, right, Like 492 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: it's going to engage with you, and I just think 493 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: it's a very sacred thing. And growing up in the church, 494 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: I really believe in safeguarding myself around the sorts of 495 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: people I let speak into my life, right like, don't 496 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: come and put your words on me. So my advice 497 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 2: is that you need to really be in community with 498 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: people now. A lot of the time that's going to 499 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 2: be maybe long distance or digital. But you want to 500 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: take some time to watch this person at work. Okay, 501 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: you want to see let me like what your readings 502 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: over a period of time. Let me see how you're 503 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: engaging with other people. What are other people are, what 504 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 2: the testimonials the character references that you have from people 505 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: who are getting readings with you? And also what kind 506 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 2: of community do you belong to in terms of the 507 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 2: space itself? Are there other people who I respect and 508 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: enjoy engaging with you you are also connected to because 509 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: that then says that you're also an individual who Foster's 510 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: healthy relationships with other spiritualists. So if for me, that's 511 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: a big sign because also we're talking about both accountability. 512 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 2: If you have an issue, you may need to bring 513 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: someone in to resolve something, and that's never happened to me, 514 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: but I've seen that happen, and also growth and development, 515 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: Like we grow in community with others. I growth from 516 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: loving and learning, you know, with my sisters and just 517 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: being like you know, wow, like what's happening in your life, 518 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: What's happened in my life? What are the spiritual lessons here? 519 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: Like we do so much development together, So you want 520 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: to be looking for people who you can see actively 521 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: learning and growing, and that's one of the first indications 522 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: that this might be a person who is like work 523 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: of even speaking words over you. And then you want 524 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: to get a little bit more specific. We all have 525 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: different specialisms or different kind of like ways we approach 526 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: the art. So without going on too long, I'll just 527 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 2: say for me, one of the things that people often 528 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: say about my practice specifically is that it is deeply 529 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: loving and compassionate, and that's important to me. You know, 530 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: that kind of nurturing, giving people like a loving experience 531 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: no matter what the message is like, you need to 532 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: leave feeling supported. You need to leave with tools, even 533 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 2: if I've said to you that this is a difficult 534 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: period of time or there's a challenging choice you need 535 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: to make, you need to leave with the tools to 536 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: make that choice and to feel seen and heard and loved. 537 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: And so when people say that that is they get 538 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: the message, but they get it with that energy. To me, 539 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: that is a it defines my practice. It's something that 540 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: kind of marks me. Some people really enjoy more or 541 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: kind of abrasive approach, right because it can be playful. 542 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: Some people like to be kind of harshly spoken to, 543 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: and I'm not that person. Like you know, I'm gonna 544 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: give you the message straight. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, 545 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 2: but we're gonna laugh, right, we may even you may 546 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: often cry. I'm going to give you that compassion. But 547 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 2: if you don't want that, there are other readers who 548 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: don't want to do the handholding. Right, they're gonna go, bam, 549 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: bam bam, this is what you need to go and 550 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: you might be like, thank you very much, got the lesson. 551 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm onto the next thing. So also just recognizing that 552 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: we all have different styles and personalities, and that factors 553 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: in just as much, because it's not just what's said 554 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 2: to you, but the spirit and the way that it's said. 555 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: And you need to find people that can tell you 556 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: a message but doesn't leave you on the floor afterwards. 557 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 4: Hi, lady, have you ever been listening to the podcast 558 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 4: and been like, Damn, I wish I could be in 559 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 4: the same room with doctor dom T and the other 560 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 4: listening ladies.

We'd love it. We 616 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 4: love it. Our last question for you, Leonna, is what's 617 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 4: the best piece of wisdom or advice you've ever received? 618 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: Believe yourself? And I just want to expand on that 619 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: a little bit because I think, especially if for a 620 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: person like me who's had to take big leaps of 621 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: faith has gone in directions where there's been a little 622 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 2: support or validation. At the time I was doing it, 623 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: lots of self doubt, lots of you know, am I 624 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 2: seeing myself clearly? Am I seeing the world clearly? And 625 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: at this point in my life, I am realizing that 626 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 2: I am a really clear tool for perceiving and seeing 627 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: and understanding. And if I sense it or feel something, 628 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 2: I can believe myself about that. I don't have to 629 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 2: double check and be like, oh, maybe I'm wrong, because no, 630 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: if I feel something inside, it's okay for me to 631 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 2: say I believe myself about that. And I think if 632 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 2: I'd known that at sixteen, my life would have been 633 00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: very different. 634 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 3: Oh, I can understand that, and I'm sure lots of 635 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: other folks can resonate with that too. And so now 636 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 3: we're going to go onto our sentence completion. One topic 637 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 3: or question I wish people asked me about more often is. 638 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 2: I think if I'm being honest. It's something that I 639 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: guarded the most and was the hardest for me to 640 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 2: write about in my book, which was chapter five, and 641 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 2: the love experiences that I'd had and the really deep, 642 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 2: deep grief and heart breakover many years, and I don't 643 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 2: think i've ever really the book was reading the first 644 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 2: time I told the world, and I haven't spoken badly 645 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: about it. So maybe that, I think is one of 646 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 2: the things that I'm ready to be asked about now. 647 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 2: That is so beautiful. 648 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 3: I will say I appreciate you sharing that, because as 649 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: I was reading it, I actually shared a few tears 650 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 3: because I felt like I was with you in those moments. 651 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 2: Thank you for saying that. It was so odd for 652 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: me to put it in the books. I was so 653 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 2: used to God in myself, so it just it feels 654 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 2: like a release to let that part of me show. 655 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 4: For sure, we appreciate you, Leona, your transparency and vulnerability, 656 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 4: and we do want to hold space for you because 657 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: you said this is something that you like to share 658 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 4: more about and so funny enough, the next sentence completion, 659 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 4: here is something I wanted to share about my love 660 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,959 Speaker 4: experience is. 661 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 2: Oh, what a timely question.

That's what I 663 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: have really understood about my love experience. And that's not 664 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 2: to say that I'll never be married, but I have 665 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: studied the pattern of my life. Now enough to understand 666 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 2: that in a romantic sense, when people meet me, they're 667 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 2: meeting me at a very very pivotal moment in their life, 668 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 2: and they're normally in darkness, and it's like their soul 669 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 2: calls me in to lovingly support them out, because I 670 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 2: am so familiar with that dark, dark, dark, difficult place 671 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 2: and the work it took to take me out of that, 672 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 2: and I've had really difficult love experiences therefore, because I've 673 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 2: been like wondering, you know, why does it feel like this? 674 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: Why can it be volatile? Why do I tend to 675 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: see their shadow? 676 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 4: Like why? 677 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 2: Why? Why? 678 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 4: Why? 679 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 2: Why? I'm constantly trying to change my approach, change my approach, 680 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: change my approach, until I realized I'm not doing anything wrong. 681 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: This is the nature of who I am. I meet 682 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 2: people in their darkness, and if I can accept that, 683 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: then I won't get lost in it. I won't be 684 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: lost there. I won't be like, what's going on? Why 685 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 2: am I here? I'm like, oh, this is like this 686 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 2: is the underworld, like where you're looking for the sun, 687 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 2: and I am it. You know, in some ways I 688 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,959 Speaker 2: am it. You know you're looking for that new day. 689 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,919 Speaker 2: And I think I now trust that process more. 690 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 3: What a perspective, Yeah, and so I think that their 691 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 3: perspective lends itself beautifully to our final sentence completion. What 692 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 3: I love most about myself is. 693 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 2: The word that first came to me, so I'm going 694 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 2: to pick it. It was actually resilience, and I think 695 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 2: I struggled saying it because I was like you, I 696 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 2: don't know, I want to say that as a black woman, Like, 697 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be an eternally strong black woman 698 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 2: at all. However, that was the truth that came from 699 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 2: my heart, and I think that it is me wanting 700 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 2: to recognize that as hard as some periods are, and 701 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 2: I've experienced the highs and lows of life, even when 702 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 2: I felt like given up, I am extremely resilient, extremely 703 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: and I don't think I've told myself that maybe this year, 704 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 2: So thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell 705 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 2: that to myself. 706 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Oh my goodness, this is that fun. Well 707 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 4: it's about to get even fun.

Context. 723 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 2: So I was actually in Kpe Town, which is the 724 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 2: city that owns my heart. I was born in London, 725 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 2: but I feel like my heart lives in Kate Town. 726 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 2: I spent some time there. It was incredible or and 727 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 2: on this day in this place, this was one of 728 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: my favorite hotels in it and they upgraded me as 729 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 2: well to like a luxury apartment. It was just an 730 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 2: out of the blue blessing and I was just feeling 731 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 2: so blessed, so loved on, and also at this time 732 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 2: really wanting to embody my sexuality and then really connect 733 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: with my body more, and so to describe the picture 734 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 2: for the people who can't see it, I'm actually sat 735 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 2: on the sofar I have I do actually have underwear on. 736 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 2: You can't see it. I have a sheer kind of 737 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 2: like lying green top on. You can see my bran underneath. 738 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 2: And I've put you know in in the nether regions 739 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 2: that you can't do too much. But I think that 740 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 2: was me almost coaxing myself about being playful, wanting to 741 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 2: express my sensuality and my beauty and being in k 742 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: being in the sun, being in the sea. Being also 743 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 2: in a black majority country, you know, growing up in 744 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 2: a minority space, you just don't get to be in 745 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 2: your boy and an affirming way day to day like that. 746 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: So being in a space where everywhere I went with 747 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 2: black people, it just let me settle into myself. And 748 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 2: so like I lit up seeing that picture, like seeing 749 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 2: me like that just like warmed my heart. So what 750 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: great selection. 751 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 4: Yes, I loved that with a great picture, great description, 752 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 4: and over a few in context. We appreciate you playing 753 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 4: along with us in the old blatchet segment. But we 754 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 4: have more questions for you, Leona. Oh, we do. We 755 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 4: have more questions. But do you have Tarot cards with 756 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 4: you now? Is that a silly question? And could we 757 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 4: pull some as that possible? 758 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 2: I do have terror when I was like already something 759 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 2: and he was like just grab a deck. 760 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 4: Like just yes, I don't know if DOAM is down, 761 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 4: but I wanted to know. Is it possible for us 762 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 4: to do a general reading for those that are listening 763 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 4: to the audience. I would love to get a personal 764 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 4: reading to see what comes through, and then we can 765 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 4: go from there and see what if Don wants to 766 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 4: And we can always edit this out if it's too personal, 767 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 4: so you can go all in when you do my cards. 768 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So what I like to do when I do 769 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 2: this practice as I ask everyone, so including you listeners, 770 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 2: to just drop into some nice deep breaths, you know, 771 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 2: set your energy down. I don't want you to be 772 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: really tense and nervous, just really like relaxed and connected. 773 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 2: I'll do the same. I am shuffling some cards at 774 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 2: the moment, and I do like to just say a 775 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 2: short prayer of blessing and protection and thanksgiving. Thank you 776 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 2: divine spirit for allowing me to connect with this particular audience, 777 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 2: to connect with these beautiful hosts. Please let this be edifying. 778 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 2: Let these messages be uplifting, and I'm precise and like 779 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,800 Speaker 2: a target hit in the hearts that it needs to. Okay, 780 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 2: So I've got the general audience listening, I feel guided 781 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 2: to ask the cards, actually, what is it you're wanting 782 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 2: to know? The general collective, so we have you won't 783 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 2: be able to see what maybe people watch it on 784 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 2: patron can. The Queen of Cups is the first card out. 785 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 2: I'll describe and talk about them when i've got them 786 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 2: all out. The Eight of Cups is the next card out, 787 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 2: and then the Five of Cups. So the first thing 788 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 2: that strikes me is that there are four suits in 789 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 2: a tower of cups, Wands, pentacles, and swords which reflect fire, earthear, 790 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 2: and water. And you've got three cards that are all water, 791 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: none of the other elements. So this group, this community 792 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 2: that you all are serving, the community you're listening in. 793 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 2: You're definitely in a deeply emotional space right now. You 794 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 2: are very connected to your feeling space. It's the main 795 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 2: thing coming up, and it's the main thing you have 796 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: questions around. I'm actually feeling and seeing the energy of 797 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 2: deep dissatisfaction as like a core experience here. It feels 798 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 2: like Borden, and I feel like this is also a 799 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 2: group that is grateful. You're not dissatisfied because you don't 800 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 2: have anything. It's not that there's like a profound lack. 801 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 2: I don't see cards here that are like, there's nothing, 802 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 2: I'm in a wasteland. You know, it doesn't it doesn't 803 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 2: seem like that. But it seems like some of you 804 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 2: are settled in certain ways that it no longer feels expansive. 805 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 2: It no longer is enough to wake you up in 806 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 2: the morning. That's what it feels like. You're going to 807 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 2: do it because you're going to handle your responsibilities, but 808 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 2: you don't necessarily wake up with that that excitement that first, 809 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 2: that hunger. And even if I go back to these cards, 810 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 2: that eight of Cups is about a card about going 811 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 2: on a journey, leaving something behind in the front of 812 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: these cards, there's cups in the foreground that he has 813 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 2: accumulated over time. Like I said, you're not a group 814 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 2: that has nothing. You have things. But he's like, and 815 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 2: yet still there's something else calling there's a deeper hunger 816 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 2: inside me. And in this particular depiction, he's like drinking 817 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 2: from a cup. He's getting ready to have his last 818 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 2: you know, fulfillment of what exists now and he's going 819 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 2: to venture onto the new. And the next card you 820 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,439 Speaker 2: have this five of cups. This card is about looking 821 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 2: at the past. It can be about regret, brief sorrow. 822 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: And he's looking at two spilled cups in this card 823 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 2: and he's just like, oh, like the things I had, 824 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 2: there are things in that I wanted, you know, there 825 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 2: are relationships I wanted, there are places I wanted to be, 826 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 2: there are jobs I wanted to have, and he's looking 827 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 2: at how they didn't pan out right, the cups are 828 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 2: knocked over. I think this is really interesting too because 829 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 2: I listened to your last episode and like this is 830 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 2: it just really bridges in. I feel like the community 831 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 2: you serve are really thinking about that last message, really 832 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 2: thinking about this. I didn't land where I thought I 833 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 2: would energy. But the message of this card is that 834 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 2: there are always other cups upstanding right like that you're 835 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 2: focused on them that you don't have, and there is more. 836 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 2: And it's not to say therefore, be grateful, you know, 837 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 2: and stop like to stop complaining, that's not the message, 838 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 2: but it's to recognize that you're sadness, your heaviness, your 839 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 2: lack of motivation, your emotional sensitivity, whatever is coming up 840 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 2: in the feeling space for you right now. It's saying 841 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 2: to you want more, and it's okay. It's actually okay. 842 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 2: It's not wrong, it's not greedy, it's not you know, 843 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 2: you need to let yourself accept that you're not happy 844 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 2: or not satisfied. And it doesn't make you selfish for 845 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 2: saying that. You know, some of you have beautiful blessings. 846 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 2: You may have a gorgeous home, you may have a partner, 847 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 2: you may have things that other people you feel are 848 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 2: praying and dreaming and begging for, and yet you're not satisfied, 849 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 2: and that is okay. You may have even just had 850 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 2: a win. Some of you have just got a new job. 851 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 2: Is the energy that I heard.

And the message is that anytime you 856 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 2: have a hunger and hunger for more, you are allowed 857 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 2: to pursue it. That's what this community needs to hear 858 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 2: you don't have to stay where you are because you 859 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 2: have so much, it is not wrong to go for more. 860 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 2: And I feel like there's some messaging here from family members. 861 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,720 Speaker 2: Some of you have outpaced family members in many different 862 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 2: areas of your lives, and so they feel what they 863 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 2: project onto you is they say, look, how well you're doing. 864 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: Isn't aren't you satisfied? 865 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 3: Yet? 866 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 2: You know that they give you this. Shouldn't you stop striving? 867 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 2: Shouldn't you be settled enough of what you have? And 868 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,439 Speaker 2: some of you are making yourself small and saying, yeah, 869 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 2: it's true, like I'm really blessed. But God or the 870 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 2: divine sources, whoever you believe in, is saying there is 871 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 2: no cap on the blessings I want to give you. 872 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 2: There's no top ceiling.

Also have the wheel of fortune 918 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 2: at the bottom, and that way of fortune is about 919 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,720 Speaker 2: a change in circumstances, a change and environment, a change 920 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 2: in almost I like to see it like I reshuffling 921 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 2: the board of like the of the board game, being 922 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 2: given new options, new people, and you know, as someone 923 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 2: who's a sad son, you really need that. You crave 924 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 2: that exploration. So the reading here is you've got the 925 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 2: Knight of Ones and the Ace of Pentaplese, and this 926 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 2: is showing you seeking out the next being, the next opportunity. 927 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 2: And I'm hearing specifically the next way to eat. But 928 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 2: it's not about money, right, Like there may be money 929 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 2: coming from it, but when I hear the next way 930 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 2: to eat, it's about calling you to a deeper cent 931 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,240 Speaker 2: of satisfaction. I can feel it in the heart space. 932 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 2: So also it's saying to you that I love it. 933 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,280 Speaker 2: Because you've got the Knight of Pencacles and ten of Pencacles. 934 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 2: This is about your abundance and your security. You can 935 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 2: see there's so many pencacles. It's earth energy. She's in 936 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,879 Speaker 2: her garden and this is in one of these dishards, 937 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 2: and she is she's accomplished. And then the ten of 938 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 2: Pencacoles is the expansion how other communities are blessed by 939 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 2: her accomplishments. That's the energy that you are holding. But 940 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 2: they're saying to you listen while you pursue the objectives, 941 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: while you pursue the gold, where you get the bag, 942 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,479 Speaker 2: do not be swayed away from responding to the deep 943 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 2: call and needs of the heart. And I think this 944 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: is also something that can be very tempting for Black women, 945 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 2: specifically when our emotional needs cancer rising, when that emotional 946 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 2: need is going unmet, when there are ways in which 947 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: you don't feel able to be satiated. You know what 948 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: we do. We work, We create because that is a 949 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 2: place where we fell in control. It's a place where 950 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 2: we have power. It's a place where we can make 951 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 2: things happen. And the spirit is saying to you, yes, 952 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 2: you're very, very good at that, but do not build 953 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 2: and work and create to the detriment of your deep, deep, 954 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 2: deep satisfaction. The message for you is, don't give up 955 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,839 Speaker 2: on being deeply emotionally satisfied. Don't feel like, you know what, 956 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 2: I'm never going to get that, So I'm just gonna 957 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 2: focus on these things. The Night of Swords is here, 958 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 2: and I've heard relentless pursuit. That's the energy that you 959 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 2: need to have around the things that you know I 960 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,280 Speaker 2: can I'm feeling energy in my stomach and again eating 961 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 2: the same and being fed the things. You know, when 962 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 2: you have a good meal, you know that that we 963 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 2: don't have Thanksgiving but Christmas Day, like you know, like 964 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 2: they're saying that full feeling you need that to power 965 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: your heart canters, especially if it's similar to Leo like 966 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 2: there is a there's an energy that is generated through 967 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 2: the emotion of the heart space that is needed for life. 968 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 2: It is needed, and so you can't operate on low 969 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 2: emotional stimulation. It doesn't matter if you try to, it 970 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 2: can't carry you far enough. And so the cars that 971 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 2: you got, Queen of Pentapourse, this is you being that boss, 972 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 2: being that business woman, being that creator, being that healer, 973 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 2: that leader, that inspiration. But also you've got the ace 974 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 2: of cups here, and this ace of cups again the 975 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 2: water energy right back. It is this cup reminds me 976 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,839 Speaker 2: of the bi biblical scripture that says let my cup 977 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 2: run if over, because in the imagery you can literally 978 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 2: see the cup running over, and there's lots of actually 979 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 2: religious Christian iconography and two cards and the message for 980 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:12,480 Speaker 2: you is that you need both the earth the accomplishments, 981 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 2: but your emotional cup must run it over and you 982 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 2: now in your life must be unapologetic. It feels like 983 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 2: there are others in your life who maybe support you 984 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 2: in toning down the emotions or avoiding the emotional roads, 985 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 2: and you actually need to speak back to that now 986 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 2: and start saying, you know what. It may look a 987 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 2: bit crazy, it may not make sense to you, but 988 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pursue certain things for my emotional advancement. 989 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 2: And you make it hurt sometimes right figuring it out. 990 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 2: You may be like, oh, I don't know that I 991 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,880 Speaker 2: tried and I felt down. You know that's okay though, 992 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 2: That's why they said relentless pursuit. Donnie McClerkin.

That's 994 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 2: what you need in terms of your emotional regulation and 995 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,839 Speaker 2: how you seek out your emotional satisfaction and fulfillment. 996 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 4: OMG, that was so powerful.

Yes? 1002 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 2: I do deep breash for you. I feel like you 1003 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 2: should ask a question. But before I take your question, 1004 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 2: what's your zodiac sign? 1005 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:36,480 Speaker 3: Zodiac sign is Scorpio. Scorpio interesting. I don't know what 1006 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 3: you gave Capricorn and energy to me. You might have 1007 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,320 Speaker 3: that somewhere in your child, but Scorpio son nice. Okay, 1008 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 3: do you have a question something you want to know about? 1009 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,439 Speaker 3: There's nothing coming up. There's not a question that's necessarily 1010 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 3: coming up from me right now. 1011 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 2: What I'm going to do is I'm gonna ask the question. 1012 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask the cards what you need to know 1013 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,279 Speaker 2: because the energy I feel is that you or detailed 1014 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 2: is more what you need, you need something and more 1015 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 2: precise towards where I feel like you're a person who 1016 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 2: needs like the minutie is kind of what I'm hearing. 1017 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 2: You don't need a big picture, which is why I 1018 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 2: was like, you have a question, but let me see. Okay, 1019 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 2: here it is Ace of Ones and the judgment card. Okay, 1020 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 2: these two cards have come out as what you're needing 1021 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,320 Speaker 2: to know or ask what's inside you? And I would 1022 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 2: read this combination of cards to be a question of discernment. 1023 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 2: I'm hearing the question am I on the right track? 1024 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 2: Actually is like coming from inside you. And like also 1025 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 2: the question of how do I know, oh this is? 1026 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 2: This is interesting. It feels like I'm hearing the words 1027 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 2: what I'm reaching for. It's really interesting that you couldn't 1028 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 2: ask the question because I actually can feel this kind 1029 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 2: of like it's unspoken, almost like I feel there's quietness 1030 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,840 Speaker 2: inside my mouth. And so there's something that is really 1031 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 2: unspoken for you, maybe even not even brought to the 1032 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 2: surface the conscious level. I feel like there's something there. 1033 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:12,359 Speaker 2: It's much deeper. It's much deeper, so I can't it's 1034 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 2: like that I can't articulate it because you've not articulated 1035 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 2: it to yourself yet. But there's definitely a deep question 1036 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 2: inside and it's about rereaching for things. You have questions again, 1037 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 2: So it's very similar energy, but from a different advantage point. 1038 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 2: I think there's wounds in this community, in this group 1039 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 2: around striving and going for things. I think that you 1040 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 2: have been disparaged or just not not being adequately supported. 1041 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 2: There's just energy of light. There's a lot I can 1042 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 2: feel it. There's a lot of heaviness on this community 1043 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 2: around not going further. And I feel like the fur 1044 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,280 Speaker 2: card has come out for you, right this is like 1045 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,160 Speaker 2: a new beginning and new journey. The Tower card and 1046 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 2: the king of want is interesting. I'll come to that 1047 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 2: in a second, but yeah, it feels even for you 1048 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 2: that there is a question of like should you be 1049 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 2: reaching for the next thing or going for the next level? 1050 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 2: And how do you discern or asking yourself, how do 1051 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 2: I discern that the thing that I'm going to say 1052 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 2: yes to? Because your appetite is very strong, I can 1053 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 2: feel so you have a very strong sense of like 1054 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 2: I know what I want, Like I can feel that 1055 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 2: from you, like you're quite clear on your desires. But 1056 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 2: there is a deeper question of should I am I 1057 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 2: right to pursue this? And I'm hearing that at this time 1058 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 2: as well. There's a timing issue for you here. Let's 1059 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 2: just have a look because the Tower card has come up, 1060 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 2: and I'll talk about that, but I just want to 1061 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 2: check in what that's about. Okay. Yeah, So there's some 1062 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 2: things for you that if you move in a certain 1063 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 2: direction before card, there's something you're contemplating or already doing, 1064 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 2: but it's new and you're you're like, what if they 1065 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 2: are unexpected or unforeseen things? Is coming up for you 1066 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 2: here with a Tower card, the tower is upheaval shot surprise, 1067 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 2: like things that come through that you weren't expecting. And 1068 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 2: I feel that there's a lot of hesitation for you 1069 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 2: and also a lot of like I said, details, a 1070 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 2: lot of planning, trying to avert or worst case scenario 1071 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 2: everything like and if this happens, like what's my backup plan? 1072 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 2: And if this depends, like how do I do that? 1073 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 2: And if this It really feels like that kind of energy. 1074 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 2: And also the king of one's hair is you. It's 1075 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 2: a masculine card, but it is you. This is you 1076 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 2: attempting to be in control and have power over the 1077 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 2: outcomes of things in life. That's how to look at 1078 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 2: the guidance for you. You are where you are meant 1079 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 2: to be. And I feel very tearful. Oh yeah, so 1080 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 2: it's really interesting. It doesn't surprise me of Scorpio energy. 1081 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 2: You know how I said too that I meet people 1082 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 2: in darkness romantically. For me, it's very similar to that, 1083 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 2: like the depths of the Scorpio energy. So I'm comfortable 1084 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 2: with it. But you will notice that your cards are heavier, 1085 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 2: I would describe, than Terry's cards are. So you've had 1086 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 2: like the judgment card a lot of major Acarna's the 1087 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 2: big themes. You've had the Tower card, one of the 1088 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 2: cards that frightens people. You've got the Devil card, another 1089 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: card that frightens people. So again you've come through with 1090 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 2: the like much heavier energy. But like I said, it's 1091 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 2: because what you're dealing with is subterraneous, almost like it's 1092 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 2: deeper and subconscious for you. So it's coming through as 1093 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 2: like archetype more than express language. Even if you even 1094 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 2: if you watch the film Us by Jordan Peel, you've 1095 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 2: seen it, so it's like for you, you know, it's 1096 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 2: like Lapita's character the Mirrored Family, they were underground and 1097 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 2: they couldn't speak. Well, that's like the difference, right, It's 1098 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: like it's so buried that there is it hasn't been 1099 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 2: given an articulation, so it's coming out almost like a 1100 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: cracked voice. And that's why the cards look darker, because 1101 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 2: they're from the basement, if that makes sense. So I mean, 1102 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 2: hopefully that's helpful to people listening. But the guidance for 1103 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 2: you actually the message was that you are in the 1104 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 2: right place, and that is a moving message. It is 1105 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 2: a moving message, so you will always be in the 1106 01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 2: right place. As long as you are making your job choices, 1107 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 2: in your decisions from a specific vibrational place in your life. 1108 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 2: And I feel you you question yourself and asking okay, 1109 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 2: like you're questioning your decision making. You're trying to validate 1110 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 2: your decision making, and it is the right process. I 1111 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 2: just want to help you with the right questions. Okay. 1112 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 2: So the three things coming up for you are speed, 1113 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 2: There's something around in patience here. You seem to be 1114 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 2: the sort of person who when you get an idea, 1115 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 2: you want to move like there's that, and then I 1116 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 2: feel that there's the next card coming up there is 1117 01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 2: you have a very specific vision of success, is what 1118 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 2: I can see. Like you, you you're very again details, 1119 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 2: You've got big, big, big details. And then again control. 1120 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 2: Those are the three the three things coming up for you. 1121 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 2: And the guidance for you really is that these are 1122 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 2: actually three areas that you need to experience some release 1123 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 2: and letting go because if you can one trust the 1124 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 2: timing of your life so and it's not the external 1125 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 2: time and of others, it's the internal timing. I want 1126 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,240 Speaker 2: this thing. I'm excited by this thing, I'm passionate by 1127 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 2: this thing, and I want to move now. But I 1128 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 2: look around at my environment and I decide is it 1129 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: time to move or not. You need to do that 1130 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,520 Speaker 2: process because I think sometimes you're moving because you think 1131 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 2: you're going to miss out or you're going to miss 1132 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 2: the boss. And what they're saying to you spiritually is 1133 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 2: that that won't happen. Almost that saying what's for you 1134 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 2: can't miss you. So even if you feel that strong 1135 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 2: desire and you want it now, it's okay. If it 1136 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 2: takes longer, it's not coming. It's just coming under better conditions. 1137 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 2: And sometimes when you move prematurely, you do get the thing. 1138 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 2: That's what I see. They're saying, Oh no, she gets it. 1139 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 2: Like it's not just a problem with getting the thing, 1140 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 2: but you may not get it under the best conditions. 1141 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,439 Speaker 2: You may be making concessions or having to make deep 1142 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 2: alterations in your life for a blessing that came prematurely, 1143 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 2: you know, and it's like, okay, now I've got a 1144 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 2: scramble to get things ready for it, and spirits like 1145 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 2: it's gonna have to be like that. It can arrive 1146 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 2: in a time that feels magical to you, that is unburdensome. 1147 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 2: But it's like in the nick of time. I was 1148 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 2: just ready for this thing. So there's that, and then 1149 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 2: the element of control. This is about collaboration, but from 1150 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 2: the heart space, it just feels like you are needing 1151 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 2: you know, I connect with my ancestors and my spirit guys, 1152 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 2: and you know, I was really stressed out. And they 1153 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 2: said to me, do you think that you carry the 1154 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 2: world on your shoulders?
