Spiritual Cleansing, Trusting Intuition, and the Power of Community with Danielle Manseau
We want to hear from you! Send us a text message.
This episode of the Nearly Enlightened podcast features a captivating chat with Danielle Manseau, also known as Venus Rising, who shares her transformative journey through cleaning rituals that go beyond cleaning dust and germs. Her unique approach to clearing energy from her space sets a fascinating backdrop for our discussion on the fleeting nature of material possessions. Giana discusses experiences inspired by her frequent relocations across Arizona, Colorado, and Rhode Island. Discover how the essence of home is not tied to material belongings but is deeply rooted in family and community bonds.
We navigate the complexities of trusting one's intuition and making life-altering choices that resonate with our true desires. Through personal anecdotes of moving between states, we illustrate how embracing life's uncertainties can open doors to unexpected and fulfilling opportunities. This discussion also shines a light on societal pressures, financial success, and the often-overlooked power of genuine connections. Drawing inspiration from the Netflix series "Ancient Apocalypse," we challenge the notion of hyper-independence prevalent in modern societies, expressing the need for community support in navigating life transitions and necessary societal shifts.
As we explore the broader societal issues, our conversation takes a deep dive into the calls for accountability within Hollywood and politics as well as the impact of past music influences on generational trauma, and the spiritual aspects of current political events. With insights from ancient spiritual texts and a focus on spiritual hygiene, we introduce "Revitalize," a membership offering a weekly energy clearing session to aid personal growth. This episode is a journey through healing, empowerment, and confronting uncomfortable truths to create a more just and open society. Join us as we encourage personal transformation and collective responsibility in fostering a more connected and conscious world.

Let's grow together: @nearlyenlightened | Nearly Enlightened
Welcome to the Nearly Enlightened podcast. I'm your host, gianna Giarusso. Today, I am joined by the lovely Venus Rising. All right, danielle, welcome, welcome back.
Speaker 2:Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1:I'm so excited you're here. There's literally so much to talk about.
Speaker 2:I know it's insane. I'm like there's so much that it's like what do we even choose to talk about?
Speaker 1:Let's start with where we so. We were just catching up a little bit before we started recording and we'll just recap that a little. So you've been on a crazy cleaning spray.
Speaker 2:I have. So everyone in my family who I live with has been sick probably for the past two months. On and off. It's like cycling through the whole family and when people get sick, like when I have the energy, not only does it feel like germs, but the energy is so disgusting that, like I have to clean every single like crevice, I have to pull the furniture out. I have to like get single like crevice, I have to pull the furniture out. I have to like get things moving, because it's not just like a physical germ to me, it's the energy of it as well.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, no, I totally agree with that, and I just did the same thing the other day. I was like underneath furniture with like one of the big microfiber wipes that you can like reach what I was like doing underneath the my bureau cabinets, like, yeah, it just feels like. I feel like just like the same with spring energy. It's like we have that spring cleaning energy. I feel like going into the fall, like you almost need the same thing, like we're getting ready. I mean, we both live in Rhode Island. In new England it's been unseasonably warm and I think that has a lot to do with it too. Like there's been big fluctuations of like cold, warm, cold, warm, and now we're like back in warm. So if you're listening to this and you're in New England, like the next couple of days, get some sun on your face, like a lot of these energetic things too. It's like when our body doesn't have enough vitamin D, when we start getting depleted of vitamin D, like we're more susceptible to our immune system being shaken.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent and like just to touch on that too like the synchronicity between, like, a spring cleaning and a fall cleaning. They're both equinox. So when you're like thinking about the solstice summer solstice and winter solstice you're like in the winter I'm hibernating hibernating, heck yeah and and. In the summer you're like okay, like let's go, yeah let's be outside activity yep, and so like it's.
Speaker 2:It's just interesting that just dawned on me that they're, you know, the time that we want to like most refresh. I mean, each season. You should want to do a deep clean. You should want to clean out your closets per se.
Speaker 1:Yes, I, I am kind of. I'm definitely getting the urge and I started over this weekend, but I have actually had my things packed for so long Because when I lived in Arizona, when I was there for four years, I moved back and forth from Arizona to Colorado and my things were literally always like compact, ready to go like minimalist to the max, like I moved 10 times in four and a half years. So now I know, I know, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:It's a lot. Yeah, moved from Rhode Island to Arizona, arizona to Colorado, back and forth, a bunch like moved apartments a bunch, wow, yeah, it was crazy, but it was almost kind of nice because I had to keep my stuff so organized and just have what I needed and that was it. But now, coming back to Rhode Island, like I did have to say goodbye to a lot of my stuff, Like a lot of my stuff is still in Arizona and it's just like at this point, it's like not mine, it's like you have to leave it behind.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You just have to let that stuff go.
Speaker 2:And you know it's a good practice and non-attachment fun times, fun times, fun times, and it's. It's interesting, though, because I live with my sister and I, you know, only ever intended to stay here for like six months, and now it's going to be three years in March and most of my stuff is still in, like Tupperwares.
Speaker 2:Yeah all the time, like decor, even my kitchen stuff. So I make it a point like every few months I'll go through it and I have to tell you, nothing is my style anymore. Nothing resonates. I'm like I just don't do these things anymore. At one point I had a lot of herbs and I was like I'm not making tinctures anymore. I'm not, you know, putting these teas together Like I once did when I had my own space. So I think you really do outgrow. But on the other hand, sometimes you do go through the stuff and you're like, oh, I could use this now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you find things. I've been wanting this. So, yeah, you find things. I've been watching this so I've been getting the urge to do that and to like really organize and like be like okay we're. I never felt like I didn't have roots, if that makes sense, like and it's. It's funny because if I talked about, you know, when I was living in Arizona, if I talked about home, I could have been talking about any place I could have been talking about.
Speaker 1:Rhode Island I could have been talking about Arizona. I could have been talking about any place. I could have been talking about Rhode Island, I could have been talking about Arizona. I could have been talking about where I lived in Colorado, like it was so uh, interchangeable to me, like I and it's not that I didn't have roots, I think I have such strong like family, community roots that, like it, it didn't matter to me that I was traveling all over the place and like I just always felt rooted and grounded, as crazy as that sounds, because it sounds like the exact opposite of what it should be. But now coming back here, like actually having roots, like not, like, probably not going anywhere. You know, never say, never got. You know, know, human make plans, god laughs.
Speaker 1:But um, like yeah, I don't see myself really going anywhere anytime soon. So like, yeah, now it's time to go through these things and reevaluate. Like is it worth keeping or let's organize it better?
Speaker 2:or like, yeah, oh my gosh, like I came upon this thing that I forgot about and it's been tucked away for a year and three months that's so funny that you say that too, because I have definitely been going through a pattern for the past year, if not longer, of just like my like, completely going through my identity and like what makes me feel at home, and it's amazing how things shift and whoever is listening, like. I highly encourage you to just have the willingness to open up to how you feel and noticing that everywhere you go. Like, how do you feel at work? Do you feel at home at work? Do you feel at home where you live? Do you feel at home with the people you're surrounding yourself with? Do you feel at home in your body?
Speaker 2:My biggest challenge I'm a Pisces, so I have this water energy, this delulu, always, you know, up here and practicing as an energy healer. I'm just like in different dimensions all the time. So for me it's feeling at home in my own body and letting that carry me anywhere. So it's it's funny that you mentioned that and I know I just brought it deeper, but I think it's going to resonate for a lot of people and it's so funny that when you were kind of like hopping all over the place, you felt the most grounded and rooted that you've ever been, because you probably need movement. Yeah, feel that. Yeah, not everybody has to stay complacent to be rooted. It just could be that you need to take your roots different places and then let them grow from there.
Speaker 1:Right, or like what you said feeling at home in your body, like I talk about this all the time when I when I moved in Arizona, I was actually just just talking about this with my best friend, nikki, who was here for lunch, but I lost my train of thought now. Oh, I, I know what I was going to say. When I first moved to Arizona when I was 28, I that's like the most me that I have ever felt right, like I was in such a good place and I I was grounded in who I was. I had spent all of this time like uncovering and learning and gathering these tools and it was the first time that I think I stepped into real teacher energy and I felt so strong and powerful and and like this conviction, and when I first moved there, my intention was to be there for four months and I ended up there for four years.
Speaker 1:Um. So in my mind when I was going there, it was like not, it was just like this temporary thing and, as everything is like I even say it in my yoga classes when I hold people in goddess for so long it's like this, too, shall pass, like it's uncomfortable right now, but this, this too, shall pass. So it's like remembering that even those good feelings, they're like, they come and they go, and it's about feeling. It's about feeling rooted and grounded in who you are and then, yeah, you can, you can expand and go anywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like radical self-acceptance. And then, yeah, you can expand and go anywhere. Yeah, it's like radical self-acceptance. And it's funny because, as you're talking about this, I am just like thinking of all the women and like how we have different cycles and taking into account, like just that acceptance of yourself and like we do have these monthly cycles. We do go through these. You know ups and downs, it's natural, and we put so much criticism on ourselves and we, you know I know people have to work, I know people have responsibility and obligation, but it's like your body and you, like you come first, your, your mental health, your body comes first. Like if you need to take that first day off of your period, like you need to do that to rest, and people are just detached from that. But when you really lean in, that's when or what I've learned that you can really just start accepting your body and feeling more comfortable in your own skin.
Speaker 1:Yes, and it's also I feel like we're like so on the same wavelength today. Yeah, this month my luteal phase hit like so hard Like I've never. I have never experienced it before. I like crashed so hard after ovulation and that's never really happened to me before. It's always been like a gradual come down until I start my cycle. But this month, I swear, I felt that shift in hormones so hard like you know I'm. I think I'm like eight days out now from my cycle starting ish like well, see tracking cycles, tracking cycles is so important and, and like you said, noticing how you feel.
Speaker 1:You don't have to make any judgments or just notice how you feel, like you just noticing, being the observer, like you don't have to analyze it or just journal it and just make note of, like what you're feeling. You don't have to know the why or the what or the how behind it, just like checking in with yourself how are you feeling?
Speaker 2:exactly so. My acupuncturist says that your period is your report card for the previous month. So I think it's so interesting to kind of track it now, because I'm like, well, was it like more tolerable this month or was last month? You know, I had more rage, I had what was I going through. So it becomes a little bit more intriguing.
Speaker 1:Opposed to wanting to reject it, yes, and now I'm finding myself, cause I've been tracking my cycle for kind of a while. I came off birth control. When I have this blind faith, especially, you know I have a very deep connection as do you with your spirit guides and things like that.
Speaker 2:I just kind of have this unspoken agreement with the universe, and you were saying something earlier about detachment detaching from those items. But for me, when things start to fall apart and I'm like, oh shit, tomorrow's the first day of my period, like I actually have the day off, I'm going to allow that to be instead of being like, oh no, a client canceled or I better. You know, I have a couple extra minutes, let me fill it up with other errands that I needed to do, and it it just usually always works out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean sometimes, sometimes keeping busy. My teacher, when I first started yoga, my yoga journey, used to say it all the time Like sometimes being busy is a distraction of the mind, like you're keeping yourself because what are you, what are you really avoiding? Like, and I used to be one of those people who had a very hard time being with myself and now I think I kind of lean the opposite. It's like that's my zone and like anything else feels like out of the well, here's the thing is like nobody else is in your mind.
Speaker 2:So you can get really honest with yourself. And I'll give an example. When I was thinking about moving to Rhode Island, I was like my friend had said to me so when are you going to admit that you want to move to Rhode Island? Because I had been saying, you know, I want to move in a couple of years and a couple of years, and a couple of years. And then finally I said to myself I was like it's been a couple of years yeah said to myself.
Speaker 2:I was like it's been a couple of years, yeah, and I didn't tell anyone. And I felt the biggest relief, that like the biggest weight off my shoulders, like oh my God, it felt like I could actually like sink into my you know, like beyond my stomach, beyond that anxiety, and just we resist, resist, resist day in and day out of what we actually need. And the first thing to do is get completely honest with yourself. You don't have to journal it, just think in your head, and I know it's a whole. Nother topic is when people have bad thoughts in their head.
Speaker 2:But when you can ask yourself these questions like do I really want to be with this person? Do I really want to be friends with this person? Like, do I really want to be with this person? Do I really want to be friends with this person? Like, do I really want to do this? Is this something that I really want? When we can really start picking apart and asking ourselves the hard questions like nobody knows, nobody knows. And once you move through those like feelings of people being able to read you, or the guilt that you feel, or the shame or feeling like you're holding a secret, then you start to move through your life a lot faster. It's like this is actually what I want. Now I've given my space to admit that and the universe can start rolling with what my actual, authentic desire is. And that is how alignment happens.
Speaker 1:Yes, and it's because God creator, the universe, whatever you want to call it response to frequency. So if you're sending that frequency of uncertainty, it's like of course there's going to be mixed messages and like with this hot and cold feeling coming up because you haven't decided. But when you do make that decision, like when I made the decision to move to Arizona, it was like totally out of the blue. Like when I came home and told people that like everyone was shocked because I went there to visit a couple months prior and I was like looking around, like why the fuck would anyone live in this barren wasteland? And then I ended up being there for so long and loving it and like I know now that it's like very much not a barren wasteland, um, but like once I made that decision, everything started to fall into place. Like I got an apartment effortlessly. Like I literally got my apartment sight unseen, like signed a lease, sight unseen, just like trusting and and it, it all worked out, it all worked out great, got a job before I even got there.
Speaker 1:Like once I made that decision, everything started to click into place that when I went there. I think that's one of the reasons that I felt so grounded and so at home, because it was aligned, it was coming from this decision. I made this frequency that matched up with it. It was the right path to take and all of the things started clicking into place to make it happen so that when I got there I did feel that sense of peace Because it was a grounded decision. It was a rooted decision and it doesn't need to be home where I'm from. But that was the energy that was there for me and even still now, like I think if I went back to visit, like I would still, because they were raising the rent, like $800.
Speaker 2:And two of my roommates at the time were like we're moving out of the city and so the universe did me a favor, Right? Because sometimes they made the decision for me.
Speaker 1:Right, well, sometimes that's what you need to like. Get on that path.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I actually came down to Rhode Island because my sister has lived here since college. I went to hairdressing school down here. But I was living back in Massachusetts, obviously in Boston, and I was visiting a friend. We were at the Coast Guard house in Narragansett and it dawned on me, it was like a beautiful day, there was live music on the deck and I was like oh my gosh, and I thought immediately of a town that was nearby where my parents live, newburyport, massachusetts, which is like a small, like riverside town, really quaint, kind of like Wickford. And it didn't dawn on me until I moved here, like, oh my gosh, maybe my intuition was telling me like hello, you're here, you're already here, like this is what you want.
Speaker 2:But because my whole life was there, I had to take those stepping stones before the universe was really like knock, knock, bitch, yeah, time to make the move. But sometimes we're just not ready. So it really life starts setting things up for us before we even know, because we've already prepared for it. We're constantly in preparation mode. So even if you know you have this full time job and you're like, oh man, I really like my body needs my first day of my cycle. Like like off, maybe your meetings cancel.
Speaker 2:Just let it go to the universe and then when the things start coming in, detach detach from what you thought it was going to look like or what it had to look like in your mind's eye. It might not mean that you have the day off, maybe it means you work remotely and all your meetings are canceled and you're like, cool, I can kind of half-ass my day. You, you just never know, right, you just never know. But letting go of that control is the hardest part, because we and I've been told this by so many of my friends who live outside of this country Americans have to know, or want to know, the future before they'll make any moves. There's a lot of fear around the unknown and for some reason and I kind of see it too because my friends who don't live in this country they don't have the same fear of the unknown that we do.
Speaker 1:I totally know what you mean, because that's the thing. When my life fell apart, I ended up back in Rhode Island. Everyone would be like so what's next? And I would just look at people and be like what the fuck do you mean? Like what's next? Right now, it's like I'm going to fucking grieve my life. Yes, like I am going to grieve my life. That's what's next. I don't fucking know what's next.
Speaker 2:What's next? What's next? So many people said that when I left hairdressing full time, I left the salon that I was at and it was such a shock to everyone because I truly loved it. And this is just like that same year I had so many lessons in. Sometimes love is not enough. I had so many people and things around me that I just loved so much.
Speaker 2:But there was something missing and I could not pinpoint it. But I had to trust that niggling feeling and the first thing and this was mostly men, I have to say was so how are you going to make money? What are you going to do? And I was like I'm moving on, my sister, I don't need to worry about this right now, like I'll figure it out. And I already had my own fears about it. Of course. I was like, yeah, what the fuck am I gonna do? Spirit, because you told me to quit my job. And now what am I gonna do? I've always measured my success on making money, so I really had to like hit rock bottom when it came to that.
Speaker 2:But I gave myself six months and I said, okay, after six months time to think of something. And I had asked my sister's friend who owns a UPS store, because I wanted to start the energy business. I had had my business name, my business model, everything in a journal for like five years prior to this and just didn't think anything of it. I said, all right, I'm gonna jot this down, I'll think about it later. And finally the time came. But I had asked my friend, my sister's friend, who owns a UPS, like hey, do you need help for the holidays? Like I'll just come in for like three months and then I'll have something to carry me over until I can get this started. And he was like no, I don't hire friends. And I was like, okay, show me something better to the universe. And I was just took it as like okay, all right, I'm not going to panic here. Where in the past I have been that person who's like what do you mean?
Speaker 2:things to their will, because yeah. Yeah, what do you mean? Well, I'll do this or I'll do that, and then onto the next thing. But when you give yourself that space and that quiet time to just be like, okay, this is really uncomfortable, I definitely want something, then the next thing that's actually right for you will come in. And that's when I met Justine, who is the owner of Soul Sanctuary in.
Speaker 1:Coventry, rhode Island. Has she been on? Yes, she's been on, yeah, so if you haven't listened to her episode, go listen to her episode yes so everyone's connected through jamie gray.
Speaker 2:That's like this podcast, like it's brought to you by brought to you by jamie gray, like 90 of the guests are connections through her community I love that because I love networking and that's one of my number one favorite things to do is to just like set people up with how they can get somewhere, get something done faster or more efficiently, Cause support is the number one thing. We have lost a major sense of community and I think I told you this. I know you don't watch much TV, but I have been obsessed with ancient apocalypse on Netflix.
Speaker 1:It is on my list for two years.
Speaker 2:So two years ago I was in Florida for my cousin's wedding and it came on and I literally sat in the Airbnb while my family did like whatever. And I watch this show and basically the whole premise is this journalist. He travels the world to different um, ancient sites to connect the dots of different like ancient lore and theories and things like that and it really is like fascinating and, of course, some of the stuff I'm he could be making all this shit up.
Speaker 1:What do I know?
Speaker 2:I'm not like a archaeologist. I don't know if this is accurate Trust me.
Speaker 1:I always have my tinfoil hat on. I'm ready for a conspiracy.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, but I mean, it's just so amazing how separated we have become. And again, this is like the Americas have separated themselves. We have like hyper independence. Everyone is feeling lonely. We're not meant to be isolated from our communities, from our families, from our friends. When you go to Europe, a lot of people live in villages.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they go out walking every night. They are all shopping at the same local store. You know what I mean. Like we're going to these big corporations separate. It's a miracle. Like I wouldn't feel comfortable walking over to the neighbor's house and asking for a cup of sugar.
Speaker 1:I just don't feel like I know them. It is funny, it's very interesting. I lived in several apartment buildings and I didn't know the people who lived right next to me. Like we literally lived in an apartment, like it's so you're in such I mean they weren't small apartments, but like there were like three, four hundred apartment complexes but but yeah, you have 300 or 400 neighbors that you don't know but you literally live on top of each other.
Speaker 2:Exactly. I have to say, when I lived in Newburyport the neighbors it was good with the neighbors, we all kind of looked out for each other and did take care of each other. But the rest of the community I had moved there and I was like, oh, I'm going to make new friends, this is going to be great. No, no, I did not meet one person outside of that. The house that I lived in was divided into four apartments and then there was a carriage house. That was another apartment. I didn't meet anyone outside of there and I was going out.
Speaker 2:This was pre-COVID, so I was going out to dinner a couple nights a week, even by myself, and people would say hi, here and there, but nobody took the time to like get to know you or like want to hang out outside of that. And I do think that it was just an older community at the time. But I was in shock that I just I didn't find anybody that I really wanted to be friends with and it became lonely and isolating. When I moved to Rhode Island I could not believe still the amount of people that I have met in such a short amount of time that I can rely on that. They are like a huge support system. I genuinely love spending time with them, love talking to them. I mean, it's insane.
Speaker 1:It's. It just goes to show too, like when you align to that right decision and the things fall into place like you were meant to be here, so your energy matched all of these people who pulled into your fields. Exactly, and now I can't imagine leaving, just like you. Well, I can imagine leaving.
Speaker 2:I just think I'm going to be here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll be here for a while I feel grounded in that decision, it doesn't feel like forced upon me like it might have in the beginning, but same like when that happened, I came back here. I allowed myself six months to just kind of like move through what I needed to move through and to decide, like to really tap in and decide what's next. And my friend Kat, who's been on this podcast too you can go back and listen to her episodes. There's like a couple between 2022 and I think she was on just a couple of weeks ago. But she would say, just like, keep asking God, the creator, universe, whoever it is to you, to like show you what's next, to like open up the doors to show you what's next.
Speaker 1:And once I did that same thing. Like I went to a restaurant and I was waited on by someone who, like looked like a Yogi. And then it just so happened that I knew the bar manager and she came over to say hello and I said, like, who is our waiter? He looks like somebody I would be friends with. And she was like, oh, no, like he's a yoga teacher around here too, like you guys would be friends. And then he came over and sat with us and he was like, oh, this studio, this studio and this studio is hiring like why don't you go talk to the owners and check it out? And then it just so happened that, like my sister knew one of the yoga teacher owners at our yoga studio owners, and it just like everything just started to click into place and it was like, okay, this is what it's showing me. This.
Speaker 1:It's like why those things unfold so easily and, kind of like, put you where you need to be, like I definitely had a big path force, correct. But like, sometimes that's that's necessary. And you have to sit in in that uncomfortable space of like, yeah, show me, show me what's next. And and trying not to live in that fear because, yeah, it was scary, especially when everyone's like, oh well, what are you gonna do to pay your bills? And like you don't have health insurance. So like, what are you gonna do? And it's like I get where other people are coming from with that, but it's like don't have health insurance. So like, what are you gonna do? And it's like I get where other people are coming from with that, but it's like, don't project your fear onto me, like I can't you can't.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what it is. It's a, it's a projection, and that's what I had to come to terms with too. But what what's interesting is, you get to decide like is this a mirror of my own fear?
Speaker 2:yeah or is this their project projection? And then it's like we can bring in the compassion for the other person, like, oh my gosh, they do not feel like they have any support, that they can just like have a month or two with no income coming in like that's terrible. Know, for me, my family would never let me be homeless. My family would never let me, you know, not be able to go to the hospital or get the care I need, like I'm just very fortunate in that way and I know that you are too, so I can completely understand if someone doesn't have a support system.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's it's way scarier, but I think that we have such attachment and it it hinders our flow as spiritual beings, as this is really just a movie. It's like what do you want your plot to be? Like, what do you want to experience? And just because I mean, I don't know what's going to happen in five years, do I have goals? Yes, but do I need to control every detail of them? No, but when you surrender just a little bit, even when your life seemingly falls apart, like that's a rebirth.
Speaker 2:It's painful, but there's always something better on the other side, and some people do experience like downfall after downfall, but it's just how spiraled out are you from your true self? And we all have the capabilities to get back to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and what kept me going is that that thought like this is all happening for my highest good. Like I know that whatever comes of this, like I know that it's uncomfortable right now, but this is all happening for my highest good. And it's really funny because I was just watching. It came across my I was like scrolling this morning while I was getting ready and a friend shared an Emmy speech from like the 90s room. She played Blanche on Golden Girls, oh yeah, and she was saying like she had been kicked so many times like on her way to becoming a successful actress and her mom used to say like with, with every kick down, it's like actually a kick forward, like it's it's going to give you what you need to bring that blessing in. And that just hit me so hard this morning and I was like, yeah, I'm kind of in that spot now where it's like I've moved forward a little bit and now I'm in a new spot of what's next. It's like feeling what's aligned and what's not aligned, like letting go of of some things to make space for for what's to come. And I've talked about it a little bit on here.
Speaker 1:Like I've been working really hard on the back end of Nearly Enlightened, because it's more than a podcast. Right, it's like it's a movement. It's bigger than me and I've kind of let it unfold naturally and in some ways I've even my own patterns and habits have held it back a little bit. So I'm really working on consistency and consistently showing up for Nearly Enlightened and birthing what's to come next, because at this point, if I'm not moving forward, I'm blocking this from happening. So I have the podcast and my new website is going to be launching soon. I have an online guided meditation portal with like over 35 plus counting guided meditation so far with not just me but other teachers as well. So that's a great resource. It's $12.99 a month. It's like two coffees. Yeah, it's amazing and it's so needed. And I think it's 12.99 a month.
Speaker 2:It's like like two coffees yeah, it's amazing and it's so it's so needed and I think it's yeah, to have the compilation of who you have on the podcast that people will be able to get to experience beyond, just like the, the speaking version and and really feel into their work what they can bring to the people energetically, yeah and so, um, a blog is coming soon as well.
Speaker 1:That is going to again not just be me, but other authors as well, and some, some first posts that are coming up. Is I really, um, I've already started writing them? It's going to be a series of about, I think, five, five, five articles, but diving into yoga, beyond the physical practice of yoga, because it's it's way more than asana, it's way more than the poses, it's it's really a science of wellbeing and we definitely have watered it down the practice to just a physical, like fitness class, and it's so much more than that, and I really want it to be accessible to people who are, like, so adverse to yoga, because the first two limbs of yoga are just about being a good hygienic person, and everyone is capable of doing that. So yoga is for everybody. It's not, it was a science of well-being and I think we really need that, and I think this is a good segue into, like, some of the other things that we planned on talking about and wanted to talk about, like the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1:Like, let's buckle up, like, get right with your energy, get right with getting grounded and, um, getting grounded and clearing that space energetically, because, no matter what happens that first week of November, america is changing in a way that we have never experienced before, and I was talking about this with two friends, jamie and my friend Deirdre, who have both been on the podcast. We talked about this on Sunday, sunday, I mean. We were together saturday um, saturday night when we were out for dinner, and it's really going to change the landscape for a lot, but it's going to be a big awakening for a lot of people. So it's like, so it's a necessary turmoil, and I'm going to use that word not foreshadowing anything bad, but either way, we know it's gonna, it's there's gonna be crazy energy.
Speaker 2:Think about it, it's, it's. It is going to bring turmoil in the sense of it's polarizing there is a weight is, there's a weight of responsibility on the people and let's just say, like most people I've spoken to are like I don't like either one of them.
Speaker 2:So it's kind of like people are really feeling I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I don't, and that's a really, it's a burden, it's a, it's a compromising place to be in, because I think it's a really tender place, because you don't feel like you have freedom in that, and that is what's like shitty, because all of us just want emotional freedom, we want mental freedom we want physical freedom and spiritual freedom and everything is kind of feeling like forced upon us, but at the same time, all that force and deception is coming to light faster than we have ever experienced, and I I think it's funny because all this stuff that's coming out with like celebrities and politicians and stuff I've seen online people posting like old interviews, old, um old videos Like let's, let's talk about like the Diddy situation yes, yeah, as an example, okay, so the yummy, the yummy music video.
Speaker 2:That was like very telling to some of the stuff that happened to Justin Bieber and we were just so like, wow, what a fucked up video. Like that's kind of weird. But now that it's all coming out, we're like, oh, my god, he's been telling us and it's just like, yeah, were we sleeping like? Or we just didn't care, like something has shifted something has shifted.
Speaker 1:No, I totally agree, and you know people have woken up or well that definitely definitely when.
Speaker 1:So when 2020 first started, this was before the podcast was born, but if you were reading any of my social media posts or like when I was going live, or I did a lot of like videos during like quarantine days and I would say all the time, 2020 started a spiritual war like this next war that's coming is spiritual.
Speaker 1:So you choose what side you're on, but being a bystander is not an option anymore, because if you are choosing the path of the bystander, then I'm sorry, but you're actually on the side of evil because you're allowing it to happen. So now that we're seeing these things come to light, we cannot ignore them anymore. We cannot brush them under the rug. I just saw like six more people came forward in the Diddy case and there were like six more lawsuits filed this past Sunday. And polarizing going back to being polarizing I was reading his camp is trying to file motions because he thinks what's happening, or they think what's happening in the media right now is he's not getting a fair, he's not going to get a fair trial and I just he doesn't deserve a trial crazy straight to jail, I know, and he's trying to get out on bail.
Speaker 1:And this is a person with like endless amounts of money, his own private island private jets, like he can disappear if he wants to like. No, I don't agree with this anymore. Like there's more than 120 people that have come forward and accused him of something like this isn't a little like. Yeah, it's not a little thing anymore.
Speaker 2:This is huge this isn't a publicity stunt and like now.
Speaker 1:I think it's time that we all stand up. Like the Jeffrey Epstein thing happened and we let that be brushed under the rug. The little black book just disappeared and you know, this child trafficker just got away with trafficking children to whom no one, no one, allegedly nothing happened. There were no further cases filed, like you know. You can say that, elaine maxwell or whatever, but like she's rotting in prison staying silent again, who was she trafficking these girls to like? Why has no one else come down? I think the diddy thing is the same situation. I think he's the bottom of the totem pole, like who?
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely, it was very political. Who?
Speaker 1:enabled him who looked the other way. Like we should be demanding names. So one of the things that I read that just came out on Sunday was it was somebody she's no longer 13. This happened a couple years ago, but she was sexually assaulted by Diddy at 13 years old While another two famous people, a man and a woman unnamed, watched. So two other adults were watching and allowed it to happen and this was years ago, said nothing.
Speaker 2:what is going on in hollywood, like I do have a friend who knew someone who was of age but recalled a story to her that did he did watch and wore like a face mask, like screwed up stuff, and I believe this because just of how she's connected to this person, I just know. But here's the thing we have been living in our shadows. We cannot live as our shadow self anymore. Step into the light, our shadow self anymore. Step into the light, step into your light. You have to go, move through your shadows, move through your own bullshit. We all have it, we've all been. I know for a fact.
Speaker 2:I just went through some major I'm still feeling the residual effects of my throat chakra, major effects of staying silent and not saying anything. And you know what? I made myself sick and now I'm dealing with getting, uh, respiratory symptoms. I'm I'm talking six months out of the past year, because that is how deep I was living in my let's call it my unself in the shadows, because I I'm definitely an informer. I am someone who likes to talk about things and I grew up in a household where you kind of kept things secretive, so I really had to do a huge unlearning of that and I was placing a lot of blame and judgment on other people. For you know, I was created this way. I was doing. You know, my parents are like this. I learned it. No, no, no, no, no. Just as much as my parents do things. I am mirroring that in some way.
Speaker 1:Right, and you have the choice.
Speaker 2:It may not be the exact same thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you have the power, yeah, yeah, and you have the. You have the power, yeah, yeah. Radical personal responsibility, yeah, and that I mean that was why I think part of the reason why nearly enlightened was born, because I felt this insane responsibility to help people in the where I was. Like I was seeking I wanted something better, I wanted tools and I was met with a wanted something better. I wanted tools and I was met with a lot of like well, if you pay me this money and you put this teacher up on this pedestal and if you join my community and all of this stuff, but it's like no, if they are not teaching you the tools to do this yourself, like run from that person because we all have these gifts and abilities. Like I go back to the ancient spiritual texts all the time, but in both the yoga sutras and in the Bible it says pray, meditate, clear your physical body and spiritual gifts will be bestowed on you. So these are two separate ancient texts that are saying essentially the same thing you pray, you meditate, you clear your channels, you are a pure vessel and God will give you these spiritual gifts. We all have these other senses, we're all able to use them. It's just creating the space and preparation to be that, and I think if you really are a person who is clearing the channel, all of these stuff that that's coming out in the celebrity world, in the political world, you're really seeing it for what it really is. It's all division, it's all distraction tactics like, oh, look over here while we do this, like it's only like you said, it's only going to start happening faster, especially as the election approaches, like I know.
Speaker 1:I really wanted this episode to be about talking a little bit about this like political and pop culture things that are going on, because they are so in our face and it's time to make a decision. Are we going to look at this through a spiritual lens and learn a lesson from it and create better from it so that this doesn't happen again? Or are we just doomed to repeat the same cycles over and over again and are we going to let these people in power run around like they're above the law, like I don't want to live in that paradigm anymore, and I think a lot of people who listen to this podcast don't either. Like you know, not just talking about the doom and gloom, but what can we do? Going forward, like how do we hold this accountable?
Speaker 1:And like I think, with the Diddy situation, like I really hope and pray that it doesn't end up being an Epstein thing, where it all gets brushed under the rug and he gets, you know, unalived or whatever. We all know he didn't kill himself, um right, but there were clearly other people involved. And where are those people right now? And like, why isn't the hammer coming down on them too? Because they've been named, you know, and there's proof. We all know that there are tapes out there, we all know that there are blackmail videos. So like, let's let it come out so that we can purge this evil right.
Speaker 2:We have to hold yourself accountable and hold others accountable. I'm not saying going up to a stranger and be like you do this, that and this, but I had a conversation with my best friend the other day and she was like, listen, this is like not a new story for you, this is what you do because of this. And I was like you know what You're right. You're right. And then it's like are you taking that advice?
Speaker 1:And I was like was like all right, I'm gonna do a few things a little differently and to allow yourself to be in that uncomfortable space, because I think it's really easy for us to get defensive in those spaces.
Speaker 1:But realizing that the other person is like, your friend is holding you by holding you accountable. Like that, that friend is more loving than the friend who is like just listening to you vent about the same thing over and over again and just essentially being an enabler to the bad behavior right exactly, and, like I said, it's like choose one, one of your best friends, like someone you trust, who you can like.
Speaker 2:Admit something you have shame around, admit something that you normally wouldn't talk to somebody else about, like I keep, I don't like this about myself, like we can't keep stuffing it down. That's where secrets and lies get stored. And because more and more people are awakening and working on this and they're starting to choose the light and they're starting to choose the higher path. That's why we're seeing all of this come out. And it's like we have responsibility, because we are a vibrational being. What we think, feel and say are all basically spells that go out into the universe to mirror back to us. But, on the other hand, we also have astrology and there is planetary mixes going on that can be predicted over time because of the ancient people tracking it and learning and giving us kind of that was mathematics, thankfully. And right now the astrology is like no, no bullshit, there's no hiding, there's no hiding.
Speaker 1:No. So talking a little bit about the full moon, this full moon is really about lighting a fire under our ass. Like it was an Aries full moon, so very fire energy, and it was also like, okay, we know what we have to do now. Now, it's time to take action. Now, absolutely. And it was the end of a six month cycle, yep.
Speaker 2:So the new moon in April was also an Aries, and then the eclipses began, and then the full moon in Aries was the culmination of that six month cycle, so that more people that I spoke to than not were like the same triggers are coming up. This trigger, I'm triggered. I'm triggered, yes, because this is like the grand. You still care. How are you going to react? How are you going to react to this? Are you still the same person? And if you're sitting there saying, fuck this, this isn't like I don't want this anymore, you have done the work, because that is how you know. It no longer resonates with you. It no longer resonates with you and some people, the universe moved things out of their way and that's where the detachment comes in. Feel your feelings. Do you have to do? But just know like sometimes we need to be blindsided in this way so that we can be put completely on a different path that is more authentic to us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, that was definitely the case for me. My I got ripped from my path kicking and screaming. I was clawing and holding on for dear life.
Speaker 2:Oh girl, we've all been there. There's not one person who has not been there at one point or another, I even still go through it.
Speaker 1:I feel like collectively collectively, that's kind of where we're at right now Like we're holding on to this paradigm, with we're white knuckling this paradigm. But for those of us who are awake and already get it, it's time to let go and build those structures that when it really all crumbles and crashes and burns, it's like okay, we're all over here doing it this way and it works. So you can just, you can just come over and do it this way, or you can leave this planet, you can cease to exist, because that's what's going to happen Like you are either going to let go and surrender and get on that right path or, like I've seen it in my, in my own life, like people who just couldn't get it together this lifetime and that's okay, you know it's that's.
Speaker 2:It is okay, people won't, and some people are going to be more more awakened and I really I think it's interesting because when you look at it from a higher perspective, a lot of the division and I know this has kind of taken the religious turn too is it's language. It's language. I've dealt with very religious people who are like I don't understand what you do, I don't want to be a part of that. I'm like, just as you would go to church and pray, we're coming together collectively to set intentions. What is a prayer and intention? Asking for something right or, you know, sending out hopes and blessings for other people, to remember that we're different. We all speak different languages. So trying to see from other people's perspective I'm not saying see from the perspective of you- know a murderer or a politician who is using their power, you know, with the utmost abuse.
Speaker 2:But we've seen this time and time again. I mean, look at the history. The history has had it like you know emperors and things like kings and queens. There's always like the power dynamic and this is where it comes in. It's like the middle class, the lower class, take your power back. Take your power back. You have the ability. You're giving it away and even if it's just you feeling strong in your own life, don't let it get any bigger than that, cause that's where it feels too far outside of you, where it feels too expanded and where you can really get lost because we do there's, we have access to too much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, More information than humans have ever had access to. I mean, think about it Like it's kind of a weird thing to have social media and be connected to, like people you didn't stay friends with, but now you're just like social media acquaintances with or exes, or we have access to more information and it's like superficial connection. But like yeah, I mean it's, it's just weird. Like do I need to know what my ex-boyfriend from high school is doing in his life? Like no, no.
Speaker 2:No, absolutely not. Bring it back to you. Bring the focus back to you. That's always my advice where, when I'm starting to feel too spiraled or like I'm too invested in drama or fear, it's like bring it back to you. Are you even directly involved? Are you even directly involved? And one thing I will say, because I experienced this too, was, with all these natural disasters and all of this like political stuff, we do have this sense of impending doom.
Speaker 2:Yes, and that's when you have to ask yourself what if it all does fail? Will life still go on? And for a lot of people, most people yes, it will just like when you got ripped home from arizona your life went on and everything is probably better now. Yeah, just like me.
Speaker 1:Like I said, this too shall pass.
Speaker 2:Exactly, exactly. Life is going to go on. We get to decide how we want it to, but you know it's we.
Speaker 1:let ourselves get out of control yes and give our power away to others and all of these things coming to light right now are allowing us the space and the opportunity to see things with the observer's eye and to move forward accordingly, like we have seen what's happened in our own country with natural disasters there are a month. There are still people that don't have electricity, don't have running water, don't have access to food or medical supplies that they need. Yeah, yeah, and we have political, uh people running for office going on.
Speaker 2:Call her daddy yep, yep, I listened to that.
Speaker 1:It's funny I haven't, I've only given a listen.
Speaker 1:Like I only listened to, like, um, a couple of clips. I haven't really like listened to it, listened to it, but it all comes back to the same thing. Like these are all division tactics, like it's a paradigm that's failing and literally we're watching the house of cards fail and I'm just in the space where it's like, okay, what's next? Like either way we go in this election, it's going to be like a not a great outcome and people are going to be pissed and who knows what they're going to do with that anger to create whatever narrative, and it's like I don't want any part of it because I'm over teaching people how to, how to tap into the yoga of wellness, and so once you start to head down that path, you realize like none of this matters anyways.
Speaker 2:And as far as these, I think a lot of it will be faded.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as far as these celebrity things go like, yeah, let it come out. Let it come out, purge every evil person out of Hollywood, like anyone who knew, anyone who was a bystander, who stayed silent, who covered up, anything like let it all come out. Let it all come out. Let it burn to the ground. You know I was I. It all come out. Let it burn to the ground you know I was. I am all peace, love and life Like you fuck with kids and.
Speaker 1:You're all, you're all done to me. And like I think, yeah, innocent until proven guilty. But like we're really going to waste taxpayer money on this. Like we know he did it, we. There's more than 120 accusations. This is bigger than the harvey weinstein thing, this is bigger than the jeffrey epstein thing. And, like I said, he's the bottom of the totem pole. So who is above him? Let them all fry. Let's bring back public hangings, let's leave them in the square. Like fuck around and find out. Like you want to do that to children. Like, yeah, yeah, now he, he doesn't think he's getting a fair trial, so they're trying to push back the trial from may 5th even further.
Speaker 2:It's like, well, because they're just trying to push it, push it, push it, push it because they're probably trying to buy themselves more time to protect whoever else they need to, and but here's the thing is, people are getting their voice back and DAs are coming up. Take your power back. Give yourself a voice. Make sure it's coming from the heart and what you believe in. People have lost their values. They have become money hungry. They have ignored Back the moral compass Bad behavior.
Speaker 2:Bad behavior Because we don't have all the answers. We need to let it crumble to the ground without needing to know the outcome. We will all survive in one way or another.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we're going to be better off for it. Like right, and you know I I was talking about this in just one last thing before we we wrap it up about this diddy thing, like you, think about the programming that happened when we were young, so that was like the dawn of mtv music videos. Think about the music that Diddy and the like were putting out. It was all like booty shaking, fuck hoes like yes, radically sexualized.
Speaker 2:To the window, to the wall, Like come on yeah. And we ate that shit up.
Speaker 1:I know we were like I was in middle school.
Speaker 2:I was like get off the bus, Get straight to DRL yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah it. It hyper sexualized an entire generation and this is what we were being fed Like. This was the programming that was being pushed on our generation to like have sex without connection, that, like real family values don't matter, it was just like finding the next best thing. This is what we were programmed to operate as. So it's taking a whole look at that as a generation and seeing how that affected us, like those that planted seeds, that planted some sort of seeds. So, even if you're in like a happy monogamous relationship right now, like that, realize that those that had an effect on you like purge that from ourselves, from our, our energetic fields, and allow this to to come up and come out like the music of our generation. We're never going to be able to listen to it the same way ever again, because all of those people were connected to what's being, what's coming to light right now. So I think that millennials, especially, like have to take a hard, hard ass.
Speaker 1:Look at this, because these are hard grief yeah, because these are people we glorified and, like you know, it's fucked up in a way, but worshipped totally agree with that.
Speaker 2:I totally agree. And just I know personally from working with many people and things that I've had to heal about myself have been like some serious sexual confusion serious like sacred sexuality just the complete loss of that and the uncomfortability of even talking about it.
Speaker 1:We really a hard look is exactly right yeah, I think that this, uh, hibernation season is going to be a lot of like healing these wounds that have come up through all of this.
Speaker 1:Like there, this is there's a lot of fear of the unknown about what's to come in the next couple of weeks, and a lot of things coming to light right now that it's like, oh my god, this happened under everyone's nose, and so I think that, moving through the next couple of weeks, we really have to keep in mind, like one, love your neighbor, like let's go back, that you don't have to agree with them, you don't have to have the same views as them, but like let's respect one another Because, no matter what happens, like, like you said, the middle and lower classes, like we're here doing the work, like we don't have the luxury of like hiding in a bunker until it's over with, like personal servants and personal chefs and that kind of life, so we're the ones that are going to suffer and are going to either clean up the mess or like we're not going to stand for it. Like you said, we're going to go the other way and let it all burn down to the ground. But let's take care of and respect one another.
Speaker 2:We don't have the same views Exactly. And the last thing I want to just make sure people understand is we, especially millennials, have kind of been gaslit into thinking things might not have happened. So I highly encourage you if you do feel a sense of like. Maybe you were sexually assaulted or just something inappropriate happened, or maybe you had sex with somebody because you didn't you didn't, you didn't want to, but you just kind of felt pressured. Whatever it is that comes up around it, whether it happened or not, you have that energy with you and it's only natural because there's so much of it going on. So I highly encourage you to just allow yourself to process and heal that, despite needing to know did this really happen? What exactly happened? Because we can our egos really have to have a story to attach to it to make us feel safe, and that is really useful a lot of the time. But if you feel like something inappropriate happened to you or you did something inappropriate, inappropriate, take the time that you need.
Speaker 1:Whether it happened or not, you need to process it because that energy is with you yeah, and it's clearing out out the space from, from not just your physical being but your energetic being, like I've talked about this too Like we have this energetic field that like it pulls things in and hangs on to things and that affects the decisions that we make, the energy that we're moving forward in. And I just think that, going back to what we were saying before at the beginning of the podcast, and I just think that, going back to what we were saying before at the beginning of the podcast, when you're truly rooted in a solid foundation, in self-worth, fear over it, because I think it's what we need, I think collectively we're moving through so that we can literally raise the vibration of this entire planet. And I think that, no matter what happens, even if it's like a rocky outcome, like it's all happening for the higher good, like we have that's what I was saying, meaning like I think it's going to be faded.
Speaker 2:It's exactly what we need, and we just need to ride that wave together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's time to take our power back and reclaim. Like the systemic dumbing down of society is a real thing. Like we used to teach calculus as like sophomores and juniors in high school and now people like don't even take it in college, where like last in math and sciences on the scale of the of the world. It's like let's bring back ride in in education, in even like having craft and hobbies, like. It's like two ends of the spectrum. I have a few friends with like no hobbies at all. And then I have a few friends with like, like and even my brother. He has more hobbies than anyone I've ever met and gets time to celebrate that and like lean into that.
Speaker 1:Like learn pottery, take a class like, do things that really fill you up and bring you joy, because when you're operating on that frequency, it just reverberates out, and that's how we make the world a better place. It's not this complicated thing. The structures that change need to be coming back to our humanity, coming back to the things that bring us joy, that fill us up, that give us connection. And, like you said, yeah, maybe you're not afforded that, but it takes nothing to go for a walk on a beach and smile or say hello to a stranger that you walk by.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:That's free, that you walk by. Exactly. That's free, exactly Well, this ended up being a very powerful conversation. Always as it is. Yes, well, I hope that, like as we move the neck through the next couple of weeks, like we lean on each other for support, and the podcast will be here. We got some great guests coming up and, yeah, tell us a little bit about Revitalize, because if people are looking for a space to clear energy, I think that's the perfect space.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely so. Revitalize is my weekly energy clearing and healing.
Speaker 2:We meet. It is a membership, so you opt in and there's a monthly membership and every Tuesday we meet live on Google Meet or you receive the replay. So if you can't make the live, you'll get the replay and during that time, between 12 and 1230 on Tuesdays, I am calling in all the energy of the members and I'm individually and collectively working on your energy so I can make sure that you are getting realigned with your authentic self. Your energy field is decluttered. There's often, always, you know, a universal theme. I pull an Oracle card, I use essential oils, so you get all that information with the replay as well, and you get access to the revitalize vault, which has more content PDFs on a whole slew of topics.
Speaker 2:I think right now Sacred Space is up how to open and close Sacred Space. There's one on manifestation, so there's a bunch of things that you can get on there, a lot of content. But yeah, overall, revitalize is your weekly sanctuary to come and get your energy cleared. You can listen to the replay as often as you want. The energy work is embedded into the video and it's amazing. All of my members every week are texting me, whether they come to the live or not, that they can feel when I'm tapping into them and they're automatically feeling better. So you can check that out on my website.
