1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: I had to hit that like low to get to

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: the ultimate high, and that high was sort of me

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: realizing that I'm so much greater than drinking alcohol and

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: partying every weekend, that I had the ability to change

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: and I did.

Speaker 2: I'm so excited for you to be on the Rise

32
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: and Conquer podcast. We've got lots to get into today.

33
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: But before we do that, something I'm asking all my

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: Season three guests is what is a practice, a non

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: negotiable practice and your daily routine that helps you step

36
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: into your power?

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh that is such a good question. Mine is meditation.

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: I cannot start my day without it. If I know

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: when I haven't done it, I will have the most

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: off day ever and I won't be able to sort

41
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: of step into that energy and that power. So meditation

42
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: is like the key for me.

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm so with you on that one.

44
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: Like I can notice a huge difference in my mood

45
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: and just how I show up as a person.

46
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And that's what I say to everyone.

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, do meditation, even if it's just for one minute,

48
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: like you set yourself up for the whole day. It's amazing.

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: Oh well that's such a good one, very much like

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: I would have said that. So love that, Ali, Rah,

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: can you tell the audience who you are and what

52
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: you do? I know you have your hands in lots

53
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: of many pies, so yeah, tell the audience who you

54
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: are and what you do.

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I know, it's such like it's the golden question.

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm a multifaceted human being. So I'm a meditation teacher.

57
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm a curve model. I am also a energy healer

58
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: so specializing in reiki. I'm also a psychic. What else

59
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: do I do? I do lots honestly, and I'm just

60
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: not afraid to sort of put myself out there. And

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm also a life coach. Yeah.

62
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: Amazing.

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: And tell us more about who you are, lag So

64
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: that's definitely Korea wise.

65
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: Who you are as a person.

66
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Who I am as a person. I'm pretty loud, I'm

67
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty out there. I'm pretty I think everything that I

68
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: do resonates with some form of my personality, if that

69
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: makes sense. But I guess just me as a human,

70
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty unapologetically me. I have no filter. I'm just

71
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. My friends would say I'm really fun

72
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: to be around, and usually iand the life of the party.

73
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.

74
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: I love that.

75
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.

76
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So let's chat a bit about your path because

77
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: it is super interesting. And I know that you shared

78
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: in an interview a while ago that you started out

79
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: as a photographer in a pr role, which started off great,

80
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: but fell into a bit of a low with your

81
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: mental health and turned to alcohol, and you said that

82
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: you turned your life around, went sober, tapped into your

83
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: intuition to understand this spiritual side of yourself. Can you

84
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: tell us more about this, you know, this background and

85
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: this kind of breaking point and how that.

86
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: Turned into turning to your intuition. Yeah.

87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I my life is just one big

88
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: crazy one. I feel like I'm at the point where

89
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I could write a memoir. But yeah, So I was

90
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: a photographer and I did a lot of things on

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: social media for businesses and things like that, which was

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: really fun, and I was really sort of at the

93
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: peak of my career, I guess, and I was in

94
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: a relationship with my husband back in the day and

95
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: then HUM and I split up, and within the last

96
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: like probably two years, I sort of I spiraled, I

97
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, hit the booze. I just was turned into

98
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: a little party animal. I think we all go through

99
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: that phase, but I guess mine was just accessive to

100
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: the point where it overtook my life and my mental

101
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: well being was just not a priority. Partying was my priority,

102
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: and just being an idiot of a human being was

103
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a priority. And I say to everyone, I had to

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: hit that low to get to the ultimate high. And

105
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: that high was sort of me realizing that I'm so

106
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: much greater than drinking alcohol and partying every weekend, that

107
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: I had the ability to change, and I did, and

108
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I studied to be a life coach. I decided I

109
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: was going to tap into that spiritual side of myself

110
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: that I'd always had from a young age. I tapped

111
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: into that, and then I did my Reiki course, and

112
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: then it just sort of all came into effect. Within

113
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: the last I reckon, probably six to eight months, just

114
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: everything really blew up in such a positive way. I

115
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: guess that whole thing of what you put out there

116
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: is what you get back, and that's exactly how life happened.

117
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I stopped drinking. I mean, look, I drink every now

118
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and then, but it's just not a priority for me.

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather just have that amazing abundance around me and

120
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: keep my mental health in check rather than being an idiot.

121
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: So that's just like a small little nutshell of me.

122
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of women resonate with me

123
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: on that.

124
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, And I think it's really interesting.

125
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: I love what you said about, you know, having that

126
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: priority and something I wanted to ask you, and I

127
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: think the Rise and Conquer listeners would be thinking this too,

128
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: is you know, we talk about intuition a lot, and

129
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: we talk about trust your intuition, trust your gut, and

130
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, as women, we should be able to tap

131
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: into our intuition.

132
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: But for you, how do you.

133
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: Strengthen your intuition and how do you tap into your intuition?

134
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: What is and look like for you?

135
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Good question. I mean for me to tap in

136
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: meditation has always been my superpower in that respect. Everyone's different,

137
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's just all about being present, being

138
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: super self aware. I do believe that alcohol is a blocker,

139
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: so it doesn't like actually help us tap into our

140
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: inner power. So if people are wanting to really dive deeper,

141
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: then stop the boost for a little bit, really listen

142
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to your body, feel your body, and that's when we're

143
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: actually going to tap into that intuition. Because half the

144
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: time we're making a decision based on our ego, our ego,

145
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, do it, like, go for it, girlfriend,

146
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: whereas we're not actually sitting being present, feeling into that

147
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: intuition and just tapping in and being like, oh no,

148
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: this is what it should be. This is how it

149
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: should be. This is how I'm actually feeling rather than

150
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: anything else. And I guess to keep that intuition flowing.

151
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: For me, I'm always as grounded as I possibly can be,

152
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: and that's ensuring that I'm going out in nature at

153
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: least once a dain and just putting my feet in

154
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the earth and taking a few deep breaths to be like, yep,

155
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm here, like this is it. I'm fine and I'm

156
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: okay with it. Yeah.

157
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: I love that.

158
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: And talk to us about So you did say you

159
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: do energy healing, which is reiki healing. Can you talk

160
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: to us about what is that.

161
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So energy healing is where we sort of shift

162
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: around energy that you may be storing, so whether that's

163
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: physical or emotional, so it's through the palms of our hands.

164
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: I'll come in and a client will be like, oh,

165
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm you know, not feeling myself, and I'll be able

166
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: to sort of pick up where I need to move

167
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: out that energy. When you go through a session, it

168
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: can be like a form of a release for some people,

169
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: especially when we're holding onto those suppressed emotions, especially from

170
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: childhood and trauma and things like that. So energy healing

171
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: is a great holistic way of looking after your I

172
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: guess overall wellbeing in that respect, and I just highly

173
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: recommend that people do it because it's sort of it's interesting,

174
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: especially for skeptics. They're like, oh, I'd never do something

175
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: like that, and I'm like, okay, let me, like do

176
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: energy work on you. Because at the end of the day,

177
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: everything that we touch and everything we feel is a

178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: form of energy. So when someone comes in and they're like, oh, okay,

179
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: let's give it a go, and I do a session

180
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: with them, they're mind blown. So it's it's pretty it's intense,

181
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: and that's what I say to people, and like, it's intense,

182
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: so just be mindful when you're going into a session

183
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: because you're shifting about lots of emotions and things like that.

184
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, And I find it so interesting. And

185
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: I guess like a very kind of in topic we

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: can talk about is like, you know, twenty twenty has

187
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: just been a crazy Yeah, it's like so yeah, it's

188
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: just we all know it's been a crazy year. I

189
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: was wondering if you have any tips for the audience,

190
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: because this podcast is a big actionable tip as sort

191
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: of place that the listeners come to.

192
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: Do you have any.

193
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Tips for them in regards to if they are feeling

194
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: just super drained from this year and the sort of

195
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: hectic things that are happening.

196
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: Do you have any tips or practices for them?

197
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was something that I had to really

198
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: establish when everything did happen, when we as a collective

199
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: walked into this current climate that we're in. I had

200
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: to sit back and be like, Okay, what can I

201
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: do for me? And I guess the tips that I

202
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: can say to people is reduce your screen time. I

203
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: feel like that's the most important thing. We're such we're

204
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: so like conditioned to wake up, check our phones and

205
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: be like, oh I better just like double check everything

206
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and all our socials and things like that. I'm like,

207
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: reducing the screen time will help being as present as

208
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: possible in what is happening right here and now. I

209
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: feel is such a good tip for people to do,

210
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: because we are so conditioned to just think, you know,

211
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ahead, a couple of months ahead,

212
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: when we should just be bringing it back down to

213
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: ground level and being like no, like I need to

214
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: be like right here and right now. It's so important.

215
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I was sorry.

216
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: I was just going to add on that because it's funny.

217
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: I recently went to a retreat where there was like

218
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: they tell you, like, don't bring your phone, there's no

219
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: reception there, and you do like you wake up, you

220
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: do tai chi, you do meditations and yoga, and it was,

221
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: oh my god, it was exactly what I hated. But

222
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: the Yeah, the biggest thing that I realized is how

223
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: much I live in the future and how much I

224
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: live in you know, my to do list and my

225
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: my next week and you know, the next forecasting the future.

226
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: And I they were kind of explaining it as like

227
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: a future tripper, and I like, that is me to

228
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: a t and I tend to live in the future.

229
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: And it the feeling that I got when I, you know,

230
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: just spent these couple of days getting grounded and just

231
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: being present is it was like the only way I

232
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: can describe it was like quite blissful.

233
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. And when you think, I feel as

234
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: though for me from personal experience, when I'm projecting into

235
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the future, it's almost like I'm making my anxiety worse

236
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: than what it already is, so therefore I'm not able

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: to stay present and calm. And that's why I say

238
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: to clients, I'm like, if we can just bring it

239
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: back to ground level and just worry about what's in

240
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: front of us and be present in what's happening around us,

241
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: then I feel like we won't be as stressed and

242
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: we won't be as congested as in our brains. But yeah,

243
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, I love that you went on a retreat.

244
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm envious because I'm down in lockdown at the momentause.

245
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, well, it was quite It was literally about

246
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: like maybe you know, twenty minutes away, very lucky to

247
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: live where we do, but it was like up in

248
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: the hills and it was just the best thing.

249
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: I love that.

250
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: What about practices for being present? I know you've kind

251
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: of already said a couple, but how do you kind

252
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: of really tap into being more present?

253
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely. Journaling for me is a big one,

254
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: and just sort of I try and do mindfulness every

255
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: single morning. So when I'm making my coffee, for instance,

256
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm standing there, I'm feeling everything, I'm smelling the coffee,

257
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm tasting the coffee, I'm checking in with myself. I

258
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: just feel like being present can be as simple as

259
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: you being mindfulness in your surroundings. I don't feel like

260
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: we are one hundred percent mindful when we're sitting there

261
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: scrolling on our phones because we're sort of worried about

262
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: what we should be doing, what we should be posting,

263
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and things like that. And I just say to people,

264
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: just stop and just feel the around you. That's how

265
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: you are going to be one hundred percent present in

266
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: yourself and just check in with your feelings. I think

267
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: we forget as human beings. We're so worried about everybody

268
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: else that we don't actually stop and listen to how

269
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: our bodies are feeling. But I think that's my sort

270
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: of little tips on how to stay as present as possible.

271
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: I love that. I definitely.

272
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big fan of the checking in with

273
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: yourself because it is just so easy to go, oh yeah,

274
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: I checked with myself, I'm fine, But when you actually

275
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: really get quiet and check in with yourself is yeah,

276
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: such a key thing for me too.

277
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, one hundred percent.

278
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's switch gears and let's talk about your psychic abilities.

279
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: So I know this is you know, it's a bit

280
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: of a taboo topic, and like you said, there's lots

281
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: of skeptics, and I'm sure some listeners are kind of

282
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: listening to this and just being like, oh, yeah, like,

283
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: you know, psychic abilities. But I really I'm and to

284
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: be completely honest, I was definitely one of those people.

285
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: I actually grew up at Jehovah's.

286
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: Witness, so I was not allowed to watch Harry Potter

287
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: because it involved magic makes so I was very closed

288
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: off to anything like that. And I'm not a Jehovah's

289
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Witness and neither are like my parents or anything like that.

290
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: But I had an.

291
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: Experience kind of recently in the last year or so,

292
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: and I have a girlfriend who She's always had kind

293
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: of psychic sort of abilities and very much been into

294
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: crystal energy and that sort.

295
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: Of side of things.

296
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: And recently I've noticed since I was sixteen, and recently

297
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: she kind of called me and she was like, I

298
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: know this is really weird, but like, you know, I've

299
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: had a message from your guides or whatever you call them,

300
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: and do you want it?

301
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, of course I do being made.

302
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 2: And anyway, we had this beautiful conversation and it was

303
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: just really it was really interesting, and it was so uncanny,

304
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: Like I couldn't believe how on point she was because

305
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: I was kind of withdrawn on myself and experiencing these

306
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: certain feelings and I hadn't told anyone, and you know,

307
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: just the stuff she said, I just was like, oh

308
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: my god, Like how does she know if that makes sense?

309
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: And so it was such this beautiful experience that for

310
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: the first time, I guess I opened my mind to

311
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: this possibility of you know, I had always you know,

312
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: was always into meditation and you know, shifting energy and

313
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, but I opened my mind to

314
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: this kind of other.

315
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: Realm, if we call it. I don't know. I'm not

316
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: good with.

317
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: And so I would love to have a conversation with

318
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: you about kind of what you experience with your psychic

319
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: abilities and what it looks like for you.

320
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: So that's such a broad question, it's so good. I

321
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: guess there are different types of psychics depending on what

322
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: you can see, you feel, et cetera. For me, I

323
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: have the ability to channel messages exactly what your friend

324
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: is doing from your guides or even my spirit guides

325
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: to pass on to people. So if you were to

326
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: do a session with me, i'd get you in, even

327
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: just via FaceTime. I shuffle cards and I use them

328
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: as my reference just to sort of pick up on anything.

329
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: And I guess bring that energy healer. I can pick

330
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: up on your body language, on your energy itself and

331
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: see where you're sitting, and then the messages will just

332
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: flow on in. It's almost like I'm thinking, it's almost

333
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: like my brain is I'm thinking of these sort of

334
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: answers so to speak, that are coming on in that

335
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: I had to really trust myself and be like, no,

336
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: these actual messages coming in for people, and some of

337
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: it can just come out like verbal diarrhea that I'm

338
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: just not even who I'm not even like me if

339
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: that makes sense, Like messages will just flow on in

340
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: and people are like, how did you know that. I'm like,

341
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just like it just came in,

342
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: Like this is what I'm supposed to like pass on

343
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: to you. I do have past loved ones come and

344
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: visit me if they want to pass on a message

345
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: to one of their loved ones at the Earth's side,

346
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: which is so beautiful. But I guess it just depends

347
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: on the person as well too, and how open they

348
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: are to receiving that information when they're with me.

349
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's I think that's a huge component because

350
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: I think it's very easy to kind of, you know,

351
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: not believe in that sort of side of things. But

352
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: that's what I found my experience of it wasn't until

353
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: I kind of opened myself and then now like I've

354
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: just yeah, like I've I've noticed such a huge shift

355
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: in me and even my intuition mm hmm.

356
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And that's what I say to people. Everyone

357
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: has this like psychic ability. It's a matter of you

358
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: tapping into that intuition and tapping into that inner power

359
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: and just listening to everything and feeling everything and just

360
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: being open to receiving the information.

361
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: Nam This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements,

393
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 3: And so, do you do.

394
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, do you do any like practices

395
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: to kind of strengthen the psychic ability or do you

396
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: just kind of find now that you're open to it,

397
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: it just kind of flows on in.

398
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: It's sort of it depends on the day. It's so weird.

399
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: Some days I can wake up and I'm already channeling messages.

400
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: Some days it will take me a little bit to

401
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: sort of wake up, you know, have my coffee maybe

402
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: open up a little bit, do a meditation, maybe do

403
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: a bit of yoga, just to be like, Okay, I'm

404
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: open to receiving more than anything. And I guess it

405
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: just depends on the group of clients that I have

406
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: for the day too. I can sometimes see trends for

407
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: the certain people that are booked in for the day,

408
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, if they're all open, then I'm going

409
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: to start getting messages straight away. But if there's people

410
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: that are a little bit still on the fence or

411
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: their friends are booked in for them, I'm like, Okay,

412
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: today it's going to be an interesting day because whether

413
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: or not messages will come on through for them, it's

414
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: all dependent on them. If they're just open to receiving, yeah.

415
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so interesting.

416
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: And then do you ever have kind of like intense

417
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: experiences where it's kind of it's not, you know, a

418
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 2: positive experience, it's almost too intense, or you don't experience anything.

419
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: That I haven't with a client. I mean, I've had

420
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: experiences in the past. If I'd say I've gone to

421
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: maybe someone's like a certain house or a certain area

422
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: and I've just felt, say the trauma that's been felt

423
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: in that house, or I've just felt something really negative

424
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: more than anything. But I think when you are a

425
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: psychic in when you are in this space, you know

426
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: how to protect yourself from those I guess bad situations

427
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: and a negative situation so to speak. I'll never tell

428
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: a client anything negative if it was going to come through.

429
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: I guess it is all dependent on that person's well

430
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: being as well too, because a lot of people book

431
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: in to see psychics because they're at their most vulnerable

432
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: time in their lives and they want a little bit

433
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: of guidance and a little bit of kick up the

434
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: butt to just be like, Okay, what do I need

435
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: to do? Where do I need to go? So I

436
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: think when people do book in with psychics, we have

437
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: a duty of care to look after you at the

438
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: end of the day too. We're not going to tell

439
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: you absolutely everything that you need to hear right here

440
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: and now, because we want to look after you as

441
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: well too.

442
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: That's beautiful. I love that. Yeah, amazing.

443
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so I want to switch gears again and I

444
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: want to chat about on your Instagram, you have made

445
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: a post and it says I am here to change

446
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: the narrative of the wellness space in what ways are

447
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: you trying to change the wellness space and create more

448
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: awareness about spiritual practices that come from indigenous people.

449
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, good question. So given my experience, I guess being

450
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: not only Aboriginal, but being a curvier woman. Stepping into

451
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: the wellness space has always been a bit of a

452
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: tricky one for me because I just saw the space

453
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: as such a white space, a white dominate space where

454
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of number one Black representation

455
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: through the space, and I didn't see a lot of

456
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: cultural awareness being used in this space either. So for me,

457
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: it was all about me coming into this space with

458
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: my knowledge, with my training, with my skills, to be like,

459
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: this is what I'm going to offer everybody, this is

460
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: how you should be learning off me. We should be

461
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: conscious of the practices that we are doing, ensuring that

462
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: they are culturally safe for all types of people in

463
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: all different backgrounds, and just ensuring that I don't know,

464
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: we're just keeping our spaces as safe as possible. I

465
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: just thought the wellness space it's such a testy space.

466
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: It's very much everyone's love and lie. Whereas I'm like, no,

467
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: we need to have, like, you know, cultural practices that

468
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: are correct in spaces and people not appropriating culture as

469
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: well too within these spaces, which I think really important,

470
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: and respecting the origins of where these particular practices have

471
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: come from as well.

472
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's what I found so insightful with your Instagram,

473
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: like one hundred percent, Like I didn't I remember looking

474
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: at your Gram and going through some posts and yeah,

475
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: just being super like, oh wow.

476
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that.

477
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: I didn't understand that, And so I was wondering, how

478
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: can people you know, who use practices that traditionally come

479
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: from in the indigenous space become more culturally aware or

480
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: respect them more. For example, I know burning sage, which

481
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know before. Is there you know a certain

482
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: resource we can look to or what's your ideas on that?

483
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think well, I mean, like I'm I want

484
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: people to know that you're not in the wrong with

485
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: things that you're currently doing. It's all about just educating

486
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: yourself on what you should and shouldn't be doing. I

487
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: guess I've been pulled up a couple of times too

488
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: from other cultures being like you can't use that. I'm like, awesome,

489
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: thank you so much for letting me know, Like at

490
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: least I know, so then I can tell other people.

491
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: So I think stage is fine. I've done my research.

492
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Sage is so fine to use. You just have to

493
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: ensure that I guess it's coming from an ethically sourced

494
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: brand and it doesn't have chemicals in it more than anything,

495
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: and I think people need to understand that smudging is

496
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: a tool from you know, Aboriginal practices and Native American

497
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: practices that they've used for over you know, sixty thousand years.

498
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: So we just need to be conscious of that more

499
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: than anything. If we are using say Parlo Santa, I

500
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: think that's where we're having like we're going down a

501
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: really tricky avenue where that's endangered and that is a

502
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: form of cultural appropriation and we probably shouldn't be using

503
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: it because that is used by our Native American brother

504
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and sisters. So I just think if people, you know,

505
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: get educated and create awareness around these sorts of practices,

506
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: then they're going to be fine. They're going to be

507
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: absolutely fine. It's just when people are so blase about it,

508
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: that's when it can come tricky territory more than anything.

509
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: I love what you said also about you know, you

510
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: saying there's been times where you have been pulled up

511
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: and you're like, awesome, thank you for letting me know

512
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: and having that sort of attitude about that.

513
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I just think how else am

514
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: I supposed to grow as an individual if people aren't

515
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: going to pull me up? I mean that happens within

516
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: our community space as well. If you know me is

517
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: an average a woman, I'm not following, say, my certain

518
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: cultural protocol, then I'm going to get pulled up. And

519
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for that, because how else am I supposed

520
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: to learn?

521
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: Yes?

522
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: I love that, and so tell us, how are you

523
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: bringing your Aboriginal heritage into your healing work?

524
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? So well, I am a trained reiki practitioner, and

525
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: when I did do the course, it felt a little bit,

526
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: I guess second nature, because if you do a little

527
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: bit of research on Aboriginal healers, we do have traditional

528
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: healers that are still alive and working, say out in

529
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: certain hospitals and things like that, but they fall within

530
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 1: different language groups. So for me, it was all about

531
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: making sure that my space was culturally safe for Aboriginal

532
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: women and men to walk into. I use traditional clap

533
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: sticks through my healings. I still use my reiki practices

534
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: as the baseline. I just happened to maybe have Aboriginal

535
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: music playing as well too. I use the clapsticks. I'm

536
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: acknowledging country before i even start my practice. It's just

537
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: little simple sort of things, bringing those cultural practices in

538
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: that modern sort of energy healing that makes it more special.

539
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: Well too, Yes, I love that, and I love what

540
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: you said about how when you did your akid course,

541
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: like it almost felt like second nature to you.

542
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, it just I was like doing it,

543
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this feels like second nature. And

544
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, if people look up Aboriginal healers, they're

545
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: just Aboriginal people. We're very powerful people, very powerful human

546
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: beings because we're not just surface level, you know. You

547
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: think about our cultural history and our spiritual practices as

548
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: well too. We've got so much to offer and so

549
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: much to offer individuals as well too.

550
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: I love that. Thank you so much for sharing.

551
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: That's okay.

552
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: So, as you mentioned earlier, or I think it was me, actually,

553
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: you have your hands in a lot of pies and

554
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: roles in your roles involved helping and healing others, which I'm.

555
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: Sure is a lot.

556
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: What practices do you use. And I'm sure we've kind

557
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: of been talking about this the whole time, but what

558
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: practices do you use to ground yourself and really fill

559
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: up your own cup? Because I could imagine that, and

560
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know this is your personal experience,

561
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: but I could imagine that the work you do could

562
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: maybe be draining.

563
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is? It so easy? No, it is, yeah,

564
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people don't realize that.

565
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it can be one hundred per draining, but

566
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: it also can be really energizing too. And I guess me,

567
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: being an EmPATH, I feed off other people's energies. But

568
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: the way that I feel my cup is it's really

569
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: stupid things in people's lives. It's like making sure that

570
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm having a day in bed watching you know, Netflix

571
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: or something, or making sure that I'm if I'm wanting

572
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: a day in my pajamas, that that's me filling my cup.

573
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: And that's so okay, no guilty to it. I'm a

574
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: stickler for getting a fortnightly massage. Every fortnight, I you know,

575
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: get my massage done, because that's looking after my body.

576
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: I have to make sure that I'm you know, doing

577
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: yoga every day that's filling my cup. It's like simple,

578
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: simple things that sort of I'm able to do to

579
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: make me feel one hundred percent energies and one hundred

580
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: percent myself.

581
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I love what you said about, you know, having

582
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: a day where you're just in your pajamas and you're

583
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: watching Netflix, but then also not attaching guilt to that day,

584
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: because I think we can all, like you know, have

585
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: those days where we do sort of lounge about, or

586
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: we just watch TV, or we have junk food. But

587
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: then if we're connecting and associating guilt to that day,

588
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: it's kind of like you're wasting.

589
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: It that's here, and it's hard. It's hard to pull

590
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: away from that guilt. It took me ages to be

591
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: okay with, say, not responding to emails and not responding

592
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: to people in my dms, because I'm like, these people

593
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: will wait, they're contacting me at the end of the day,

594
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: they can wait. No one's running away, there's no I

595
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: don't need to associate any guilt. And I just feel

596
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: I've made this like thing in my head that Sundays

597
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: are a family day and that's my day to spend

598
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: time with my loved ones and with myself, and I

599
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 1: think if people have that allocated day for self care

600
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: and just think no, it's okay to switch off, then

601
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: they will be one hundred percent fine.

602
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: I love that. One hundred percent Easier said than done.

603
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's it.

604
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: And so talk to.

605
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: Us about I know COVID nineteen has it's been different

606
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: for everyone to navigate, but tell us about how this

607
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: period of time has affected you and your business and

608
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: how you're kind of, you know, navigating it and still

609
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: making things work for you.

610
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. So in my eyes on I guess my personal experience,

611
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: I COVID nineteen has sort of been a little bit

612
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: of a blessing for me because it's made me slow

613
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: right down. It's made me realize that I need to,

614
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, focus on me, and there's nothing wrong with that.

615
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: My business has somewhat boomed in that respect because people

616
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: just want more wellness, self development, and more I guess

617
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: nurturing within their space at the moment, which I absolutely

618
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: love because I feel like that's where people need to invest,

619
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: invest in themselves and invest in their overall well being.

620
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: But I also say to people during this time, it's

621
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: so okay to feel whatever you may be feeling like

622
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: your feelings are so valid, do not dismiss them. But

623
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: I think because I've just had such a positive experien sperience,

624
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm also just conscious of being like, Okay, you can't

625
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: just go around being like, oh, COVID has been great

626
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: for me because I'm conscious of a lot of people

627
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: have lost their jobs and a lot of people are

628
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: going through a really tough time at the moment. But

629
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 1: I guess it's just been a blessing for me because

630
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: it's taught me to really really slow down and just

631
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: really look after my overall well being.

632
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I love that you're seeing it in that

633
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: positive light and you're really sort of, yeah, taking out

634
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: the positive of the situation that's been Yeah. And so

635
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: I would love for you to talk to the R

636
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: and C listeners about advice.

637
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: And because you know, you have branched.

638
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: Off and you are like I can just I can

639
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: tell from your socials you are completely stepping in your

640
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: power and doing your thing and really doing what lights

641
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: you up and what you're passionate about. And I think

642
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: you know me, I came from a corporate background from

643
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: doing something I thought I you know, had to do,

644
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: rather than doing something that I love to do or

645
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: what I was passionate about.

646
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: And I know.

647
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: Lots of listeners are kind of in the same boat.

648
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: So I'd love for you to give any advice surrounding

649
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: going after what they're passionate about, if you have, you know,

650
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: some simple ways that you know people can maybe change

651
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: their mindset to believe that they can actually take that route.

652
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: I love this question because I have friends that constantly

653
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: ask me how do I just do what I want

654
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: to do and how do I add fuel to my

655
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: fire and pursue my passion? And I always sort of

656
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: turn around and say, honestly, what is the worst that

657
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: could happen? You give it a go and it fails,

658
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: So what go on to the next thing? What's the

659
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: worst thing that's going to happen. I'm really risky in

660
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: that respect with my life. I'm just like, just go

661
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: for it. Life is too short, as cliche as that sounds,

662
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: but we're all put on this earth for a purpose,

663
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: and I do believe that we should all follow that

664
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: passion and figure out our purpose and our drive and

665
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: just take the leap and just just go for it.

666
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: I just I just say, there's nothing worse. I mean

667
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: I've been there, Georgie. I've been in the corporate the

668
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: world for ages, and it's just like, I'd never go

669
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: back to that, because why would you want to work

670
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: a nine to five grind when you could be doing

671
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: all the things that you're making up in your head

672
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, I actually could do that, like

673
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: give it a crack, there's yeah, one hundred percent, just

674
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: go for it.

675
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: I well, as you know, I absolutely love that, and

676
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: I can agree more. And I love what you said

677
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: about what's the worst that can happen is you fail

678
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: and then you go on to the next thing.

679
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: And I think it's.

680
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: Huge because in our sort of you know, like our culture,

681
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: it's very much people are so afraid to fail, and

682
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: it's like why, like, if anything, you're.

683
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: Just going to learn about yourself.

684
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: And I even speak about that in regards to when

685
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: I quit my corporate job and then I kind of

686
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: went off and did these things.

687
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 3: And even though I knew that those things.

688
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: Like I did in like an ebook about intuitive eating,

689
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 2: and I did, you know, various things, and even though

690
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: I knew they weren't like I actually knew they weren't

691
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: necessarily like my end goal or the thing. I just

692
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: I knew they were some sort of stepping stone to

693
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: the thing, if that makes sense, And I know if

694
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: I kind of didn't just do it, I would sort

695
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: of never find it.

696
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love that you said that.

697
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I just think everything is a

698
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: learning curve and the universe will place things in front

699
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: of you to test you to see if you are

700
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: ready to level up. And yours would have been that

701
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: that corporate gig to be like, is she actually ready

702
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: to level up and step into the person that she's

703
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: actually wanting to become? And you've gone, Yep, this is

704
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: not for me. I want to go and do something

705
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: much more grander and amazing. So I just feel like

706
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: take it as lessons. Everyone, just like, go for it.

707
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: Life is way too short. And if this year hasn't

708
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: taught us anything about, you know, life being too short,

709
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know what will, because we just need

710
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: to chase our dreams. Like as funny as that sounds,

711
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: just go for it.

712
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: Oh well, I couldn't agree more. Thank you for touching

713
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: on that.

714
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: So I want to ask you one last question to

715
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: wrap up the show, and I ask all my guests

716
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 2: this question. So I want to ask you what would

717
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: you tell yourself? And this is like, I'm kind of

718
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: looking for a bit of a.

719
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: Pep talk, if you will. I love my pep talks.

720
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 2: What would you tell yourself if you're feeling self doubt

721
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: or fear around and you know, taking a next step

722
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: or doing something new?

723
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 3: What is the pep talk you give yourself?

724
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I do this all the time because I suffer from

725
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: social anxiety. So for me, I literally have to give

726
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: myself these pep talks. So I'm always like, go for it,

727
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: just do it, Like what's the worst it's going to happen.

728
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: Just jump in the deepen. And I always revert back

729
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: to that diagram that I've seen of the magic happens

730
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: outside of your comfort zone. There's no point in sitting

731
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: in this little bubble that we love being in. It's

732
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: all about stepping outside of that bubble and just being

733
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable in order for us to grow as human beings.

734
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 3: I love it.

735
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,239
