Intuitive Insights: Inspiring Stories and Intuitive Tools for the Creative Soul
Intuition, Empathy, And Self-Love with Special Guest Karen Blaine
What if the quiet nudge you keep feeling is the most honest guide you’ve got? That’s where we go with author and conversational hypnotherapist Karen Blaine—straight into the lived texture of intuition, empathy, and the daily practices that make inner wisdom usable. Karen breaks down conversational hypnotherapy as a simple, grounded tool: a few calm minutes, a focused intention, and affirmations designed to land when the mind is receptive. Not stage tricks—just a kinder relationship with your thoughts, so authenticity has room to breathe.
We talk about energy hygiene for empaths, from reading a room without drowning in it to using gentle shields that filter noise while keeping your heart open. Karen shares a candid path through loss, writing six published books, and building a self-healing roadmap that moves from awareness to action. We dig into the illusion of perfection—how pressure and social media make kids and adults afraid to fail—and why creativity can’t bloom without risk. Mistakes aren’t proof you’re broken; they’re the proof you’re building.
I share how quitting alcohol sharpened my “soul-self” conversation and how an ADHD diagnosis turned shame into strategy. Together we explore gratitude as a state shifter, boundaries as love in practice, and community as a multiplier for growth. If you’ve ever felt “too sensitive,” or if your intuition feels fuzzy under old filters, this conversation offers practical ways to clear the lens and trust your own signal.

Magnetize Your Light: Ignite Your Intuition, Creativity and Purpose
Hello, welcome to Intuitive Insights. I am your no BS Woo Vu coach, Megan McDonham, here to help you make intuition a practical, applicable easy for me to say, applicable tool that you use in your everyday life. So this week I have what I like to call an inspiring conversation. An inspiring tooth conversation. I interviewed Karen Blaine, who is a conversational hypnotherapist and just a magical human. We had so much fun chatting and exploring. She's an author. She is a mother of four. She is just beautiful on the inside and out. And we just had the most delightful time exploring her work and how we can heal ourselves and empower others to do the same. Enjoy. Hello, welcome to Intuitive Insights. I am your host, Megan McDonough. And I have with me a very special guest. This is today we have Karen Blaine. Hello, Karen. Nice to meet you or talk to you. Yes, see we see each other face to face, right? Yes, exactly. Right. So I'm going to give a little bit about Karen, but then I'll let her speak to her history and her accomplishments. Karen is a published author and a certified hypnotherapist with a specialization in conversational hypnotherapy. I'm writing that down because I want to talk about that. And she is an intuitive empath. Her writing is dedicated to educating, enlightening, and inspiring readers to find their most authentic selves and live their best lives. Karen aims to connect deeply with readers and teach them to dream big and embark on personal journeys that result in lives of love and gratitude, which sounds phenomenal and right up my alley. And I'm so glad to have you here.
SPEAKER_03:Thank you so much. I'm so glad to be here. Very glad.
SPEAKER_01:So a couple of things. I have a few questions off the bat that I asked just to kick us off and see where we where we where we end up. But one of which is what is intuition to you? How would you define it?
SPEAKER_03:So I think everyone has that gut intuition, so to speak. Even with friends who want to do something, they know instinctively there's this intuition that tells them, no, not a good idea. So everyone has an intuitive part of them. Agreed. Yeah, agreed. Agreed. But I do think that sometimes an intuitive empath is somebody who can read the room. Yes. And uh feel the feelings of what's going on in that room, and hopefully try to make it better.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Keep my answer short.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. That's like that's an intuitive empathic alchemist. Yes. Right. So you take you take the energy and you transform it into something more magical.
SPEAKER_03:And hopefully it's always like on a higher level.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So absolutely. That you're not like going into the abyss. Well, I was gonna just the second question was gonna be how do you use it in your life? But it sounds like you use it in alchemical form, right?
SPEAKER_03:Try really hard to be as good a person as they can.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah. And I what I when you just spoke to because okay, so that phrase, be as good a person as I can, I feel like has been hijacked by a lot of different uh life philosophies. So what you said before that I really appreciate, which is elevate things to a higher frequency. Okay. I right? Yes. Yes. I mean, I was just thinking, like, because somebody could say, I want to be as good as I can, but their form of good includes segregation, discrimination.
SPEAKER_03:It's a very common phrase. Right. Right. But do they act like and it's easier to speak than it is to do.
SPEAKER_01:A thousand percent.
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. So the doing is you do. You walk in and you try to kind of change that frequency in the room, right? See what you can do. I agree with that completely.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Okay, so but now I I'm I'm dying to ask you this. What is a conversational hypotherapist?
SPEAKER_03:Okay, so a hypotherapist scares a lot of people. They're like, oh, am I gonna be talking like a duck or whatever? Totally, yeah. And and for me, a conversational hypnotherapist is really I do a lot of books on self-love. And for people who really are raised without without a lot of that. So we want to get all of us to be our best in that respect. And so the best way to do that is by just using conversational hypnotherapy. And I will give you an example, like of a you just go to a nice dark room and a nice soft bed, and you use a really nice blanket, put everything that lights that you know dim or dark, and then you say you put you talk a little, so you find out what the person wants to really focus on. Um then you have you only need 10 minutes really, but once they're kind of really relaxed and ready to receive, you pull, you put affirmations inside them, like you are more than good enough. Or you say about them, I am more than good enough, I am loved and I'm amazing. All kinds of things like that, so that they can realize that and then look in the mirror and say it to themselves a hundred times a day if they have to, if they want to.
SPEAKER_01:Does it matter, like you were suggesting, that they go into it a relaxed state? So does the state of mind or the state does that make a difference in the conversation?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I think that you don't have to. I think you can just look in your mirror if you want to and say it all the time. Um my son Tristan, I think that he's thinking something, but he he does that, and he's a meditation teacher. But um, yeah, but I think that when you're doing the conversational hypnotherapy and you can do it all the time, you're just taking that one step further.
SPEAKER_01:So the conversationalist hypnotherapy is more of like if I can take what I hear you saying and of course send it back to you to see if I'm understanding, is kind of like like a meditative form of like brain wave shifting or creating new neural pathways. Is that but it's like a it but it's a um instead of being completely hypnotized, it's like you're active. Is that is that or engaged?
SPEAKER_03:Right. And hopefully what you're doing is you're allowing a person to find that they don't have to always engage in uh you know black and white thinking and stuff like that. They can learn to be authentic, which is really important, right? And uh so things like that. You're right. I mean, you can use visualization while you're doing you can use a lot of things to get that same message across. Right, right. About mantras right now, but they're in some of the books one of the books, and mindfulness is great. I mean, you probably know that alright, already, because it's for every day, every moment that we exist is hopefully we can be mindful. And yeah, and our bet well, the best that we are. Yeah, you can say it.
SPEAKER_01:I didn't mean to deter you from saying that. Right, right. The most involved version of self, right? Yeah. Um, so okay, so then I have a couple of questions on this. So we're in agreement that everyone is intuitive. But when is it and how is it that you realized you were intuitive?
SPEAKER_03:I think did I realize it or did I know it? They're two separate things. I think felt in five years old. But I didn't know why. And it was against everything that I was raised with because it yeah, I was sensi a highly sensitive person. It which comes a lot of times with them being an empath. And I was kind of told to get out of that and top an up and be different, and society taught me to be different. So then I had four kids and yeah. Yeah, like yeah, you have kids, right? I have kids, yeah. Not four. I have half that many. I'm I'm in awe. And uh what it did was it gave me 20 years to just worry about them. Right, right. Right. Focus on their needs, I don't have to think about mine. But then they grew up. Oh my gosh, they grew up. So I then said, Wow, I have to deal with myself. It's time. Yeah. And then it was there all waiting. I wrote seven books and wow, six of them are published, so yeah. Yeah, on Amazon, by the way. Yeah, and and they're under Karen Blame, so just not to promote them or anything, but anyway. You should.
SPEAKER_01:That's a huge accomplishment. That's amazing. And and so what what pulled that out of you?
SPEAKER_03:Do you remember was there like a boring out of me to talk about uh going to that higher frequency? Yeah, 3 a.m. It was just I just every night, yeah. It was just crazy, and I just had to write almost as if I had to write everything that I'd ever experienced, and it came out. And I I feel so much healthier now, actually.
SPEAKER_02:So yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Do you remember what your first intuitive like you said when you were five years old you felt it? But do you remember the first kind of thing that made you go, huh? That feels different. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:Yes, I think so. I think I felt I don't think at five or six I could put the right words to it. But I said to myself, I I feel so different than everybody else. I feel like I don't like I'm part of a different world. It's like I don't feel like there's many I don't I don't know if I fit in. So I definitely couldn't say why until I was a lot older. And then I think some triggers for me was when my dad died, when my girlfriend committed suicide. There were a couple different times. Um they helped to guide that process along. It just kept going and going. And I kind of feel like I'm I'm done.
SPEAKER_02:You're done with you're done with writing. I was like, wait, you're done with what?
SPEAKER_03:They're like, I'm good, peace out, I'm done with this world. They said one time I bronzed my dogs instead of saying, no, no, no, I may have bronzed with my dogs. They were alive. They were alive.
SPEAKER_01:You mean you're done with writing right now? I'm done with writing right now.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_01:Um, what was I gonna say on that? Okay, so uh how do you experience? So, okay, when I I relate, I find myself, I call myself an intuitive, an empath, you know, an artist. I kind of kind of feel like most artists are um empaths, or they it uh at least is a good resume filler prior to being an artist, you know what I mean? Like a feeler. So how I experience that is what I call all the feels. So the feel-see, feel hear, feel-know, feel-feel. I mean, that's it's a silly way of saying it, but so I'll will feel something and get a visual, or I'll feel something and hear words, or I'll just feel something in my body, it'll resonate in some way, like either my throat feels like it's closing up, or my gut feels like it's you know, trying to communicate something. How do you experience it in your body, in your your world?
SPEAKER_03:I depends on where I am.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But let's take an specific example. We'll take a small party. Yeah. I will feel the energy around me, and where do I feel it? I feel it in my heart. And I'm like, okay, I'm feeling this deeply, but I don't want to get sad because I feel the sadness in someone say in the room, uh, I don't that I want to rise out of that, right? Like we were just talking about. So what I want to do is make sure that I'm reframing the situation so that I can make sure I stay positive and give them maybe go over to them and help them if I can. They won't even know I'm helping them, but if I can yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So it sounds like you'll like you'll hear a calling for like it's almost like you're a nurse, an energy nurse. Yes, it is. Yes, right? So you're like hearing someone, uh, like this person's, you know, blood pressures, energetic blood pressure is down. Home run. I know what they need, you know? I'm gonna give them some B12 energy. Whatever the heck that means. But you know. Yeah. Yeah. I sa when I'm in a um a crowd, to me it sounds like, and even like when I would teach yoga and we'd get to the meditation portion of the class at the end. Meditating in a group to me sounds like different radio waves. You know, and it's like some pe either some people are stuck in between stations, and you hear a lot of static, or some people are locked in, you know, really into a station and you can feel them, you know, like that.
SPEAKER_03:What do you do? Like get them, say they're static-y. What do you do get them if you're ready?
SPEAKER_01:Well, so as a teacher in a class, in a yoga class, I would just witness it. Because for that is well, the two things. It depends. It depends on what it is. If it's just static trying to hone into a station, then it's like this is their path. Allow them to feel their way, find their way. Like a little kid who's, you know, you don't walk for them, you let them figure out how to walk, you know. But if the little kid is completely lost, you know, like and can't even figure out the station. So what I'll do is just turn my station on louder. Got it. So and I feel it sounds a lot like what kind of your approach possibly, but I'll just if I feel that like you were saying, if you feel someone and it's heavy on your heart, and you want to just it's like you assess energetically what they need. Right. Like, ooh, I feel I feel a lot of loss and pain. And what's the antithesis of that? What's the what's the what's the antidote for that? And that would be like loving connection, laughter. So what am I gonna do? I'm gonna walk up to them and make them laugh, make them happy, smile, shine my heart, you know, connect. You know, and if someone's angry, you know, same thing, you know, you f what's the antidote to this emotion? Can I provide it? Can I provide it? Am I able to provide it right now? And sometimes it's it's not even talking to them, it's just standing there and radiating as much as you can the opposite energy. That's right. And just knowing they'll they'll pick up on it if they want, you know. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, and uh, and then of course, if I know them well without trying to be preachy, and I don't, but I'll say just let's go to gratitude, right? Always and if you're because if you're in gratitude, it's really hard to be in a funky, angry, fearful state, you know, because you're we're here, we're breathing another breath, we're in that mindfulness, so it's just it's it's important.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Gratitude and curiosity, I find to be anodorous. Probably you can't be angry when you're curious.
SPEAKER_03:No, you know, you can't. You're sad. So I think we all have a superpower as well. Yes, my yes, and it sounds like your superpower is being a creative. Because I can remember you telling me a long time ago that you were here in LA, right? And uh I was, yeah. I was always for 11 years. Yeah, for in a creative way. So you've always been a creative. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I always have been. It's it's my it's you know, it's something where, well, for me, I find intuition and creativity to be like I think we spoke about it, like intuition is potential creativity and creativity is kinetic intuition. So that's how it is for me. That kind of, you know, it's kind of like an infinity sign. They feed each other, they're opposite ends of each other flowing into one another. But for me, if I am not creating something in some way, shape, or form, I feel like I'm dying. I know that sounds very dramatic. Yeah. But it's my air. It's how I breathe, you know. I hear you. And that also is my passion is to help people figure out what their air is, you know? Because when you find your air, it makes life more exciting. And passionate. And passionate, yeah. Purposeful, passionate, meaningful.
SPEAKER_02:All that.
SPEAKER_01:So what are some ways that you offer people to connect to their intuitive selves, their empathetic selves.
SPEAKER_02:Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:In the beginning uh of my books, I talked more about because it's it's really about self-healing.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:So we're not even at that point. As you go toward the first couple of months called Who Are You? And it kind of helps identify through a lot of different means who you are as a human being. And then it talks about narcissists and it does it on a very basic level. Okay. Yeah. Second one's called Dreamscapes. And I I'm just starting to I should probably say this, but I'm trying I'm starting to bring people in to this whole experience. So Dreamscapes is about the top 25 dreams and the subconscious and conscious, because I'm big on the subconscious. It's on the uh both of them. The overview and both subconscious and conscious interpretation. And third book is uh, well, that would be the force. The first book was subconsciously speaking, apologize. That was about hypnotericopy completely. Um, and then the fourth one is called You Are Not Alone. And that's about people who are feeling totally lost and dark. And I am trying to shine a light, and I'm trying to bring them into a place of love, self-love, and power. So it's more of that. Then the next book, up in the air, starts to think a lot more about what you're talking about, which is about all kinds of energy vibrations, energy fields, energy shields that we use, all kinds of powers like that. I call them powers, and then and then my last book actually is called The Illusion of Perfection, which takes it back down because I feel like so many people try to be perfect in this world, but that there's no sense. And that just perfectly imperfect. So we are human. And then that takes it down, I guess. But the book that has the most about energy is my is up in the air, yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_01:Which makes sense. I mean, you you know, it's hard to relate to that what I call the eternal self, the soul self, which the intuition is the speaker of, you know, or the voice of. It's hard to connect to that if you've got physical, emotional, mental obstacles in your way. Right. You know, you have to bring those back to balance or health prior. And then when you do that, then the others just start to flood.
SPEAKER_02:Exactly.
SPEAKER_01:Like that's how I feel in ho. So wow. Yeah. You know, you you just said something and it made me think the pr the part about perfection, right? Like I'm finding that one. So one of my kids is at a school. Well, they're both in schools with like accelerated programs, but one, the whole school is accelerated. And we've had this conversation about perfection in parenting. You know, and uh the conversation about what we said, well, this is what I brought up is what we say to the kids doesn't matter because they're not listening. What they're doing is they're watching. Right. You know, they're emulating behavior, they're not listening. They're that's it's why, you know, we're always like, why aren't you listening? I'm like, because they're not gonna listen, they're gonna watch. That's how they learn. So, um, but having said that, the idea of perfection. Right. And that yes, it's an accelerated school, and so therefore, everyone's already in this phase of perfection, and perfection is the killer of all process. Absolutely. And the human experience is a process.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, it has a beginning and an end, you know, and it's the process and beginning. Don't you what? I I wish more teachers understood how to say that to kids, especially when they're trying to create more of a you're you you need to go to college, you need to go to this, that. And I wish they said, but make room because you're gonna make a lot of errors and it's okay. Don't yes a hard time.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I have to say that's okay. So that was what I was getting to, is that now I notice my so and I and I have I have an opinion about a couple of reasons why it might be happening, but my kids I notice are afraid to make mistakes. And then I teach kids in the public schools, I teach yoga through a vendor, and I notice my kids are not alone in that. A lot of kids now are afraid to make mistakes or don't know how to make mistakes. And I think a lot of that has come from us. It's like the swing of the pendulum from the 80s. Like I grew up in the 80s and it was like, come home, don't die before the lights come out. You know what I mean? Like, help you make it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Maybe there'll be some chef boy RD, maybe it's been pearsing. You know what I mean? So the complete opposite of that is what are you doing every second of the day? You can't ever have a bad thought, you can't ever say a bad word, don't ever scrape your knee. Oh my God, you know, you have a cut. What's you know, call in the EMT? Like, it's gone completely the opposite direction. It's like everything you eat must be organic and f like I get it. I'm one of those people because you're trying to do what you didn't do because that was what you perceived as perfection, right? Right. Or you didn't get. So there's that element, but then add in social media. Because the social media and everything being documented, it's like like I saw something. I saw like a a reel the other day of some uh guy who was high, like on marijuana, right? It was like like a jokey one, and he was like, I'm so high, and then he started crying. And then it was obviously like a funny short thing, right? Which, yes, I laughed. I thought it was funny. But my God, the next thought I had was thank God, when I was messing up, as you should in your teens, in your twenties, whatever, there was no social media around. Because oh my god, if your failures, if your falls were documented for the world to see, oh my god, you wouldn't want to try to fail. And how can you have art without failure? How can you have a society without you know, risk and failure and and and differences? I mean, anyway.
SPEAKER_03:Totally common expression about all the is it's the journey, not the destination. So we're gonna fail many, many, many times. But that's part of just the process.
SPEAKER_01:It's the process, you know? I had I remember having an argument with a friend of mine. I mean, like a nice argument, but then you know, but it was I said process, what did I say? Oh, I said perfection is a journey, not a destination. You said that and she said no. I think she was saying perfection is a destination. I was like, no, it's a journey. Absolutely, you know, and uh you don't land on perfection. Perfection is showing up, perfection is doing something when you don't want to. That's being you know, perfecting the process as you're in the process.
SPEAKER_03:To interrupt you, sorry. Yeah, please do the reason I did write the illusion of perfection at the time was two of my friends, one was very famous, it uh was very famous, one was so wealthy. And I can say that she was worth like 200 million dollars. Yeah, so that's wealthy, and um she they both committed suicide. And the reason is because inside them they didn't feel perfect. It it it brought it came back to childhood issues that they had dealt with. I would have loved to have just, you know, but I can't sit there and say, I'd love to take you back and work with you because um actually my girlfriend w Wendy was a psychotherapist and she's she's the one and she was beautiful and talented and smart, but yeah, and then the other one I'm just not gonna mention, but yeah, that's okay. Yeah, I mean, so what I I started to say in the book is in my introduction, if you ever thought that someone who was rich, famous, beautiful, if you said why would they be down, why would they, you know, ever want to hurt themselves or anything, you will when you finish this book, you will never ask that question again. Because it has nothing to do with the external, it's completely eternal based.
SPEAKER_01:It's the conversation you have with your internal self, which is I think what you're saying with your hypnotherapy. Yes. It's like I call it soul-self conversation, right? Soul-self connection, you know, because the soul is the eternal, right? The self is the impermanent, the self is the finite, right, you know? Like great. But we have this conversation called life and j the journey of life together throughout our time and and finding the harmony of the physical and the eternal. That's that's the balance. That's the that's the yoga, really.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So anyway, I didn't mean to bum you out, but No, it's I I think it's a it's a it's a very um it's very useful.
SPEAKER_01:And and I'll say because like I in this this and I'll take this, I'll share a personal story, which I feel like I shared before, maybe not, maybe so. But I stopped drinking almost four years ago now. It'll be four years in December.
SPEAKER_03:That's great.
SPEAKER_01:And I honestly don't know when. You know, I don't know the date. I don't need to know the date. That's fine. Because for me, it's not about the date, it's about the everyday process. Yeah. And but the reason was that this time it feels like it sticks, you know? And it wasn't because I was like finding myself drinking all the time or getting hammered every day, or it was none of that matter of fact. Um, I mean, I had had my time in my 20s for sure. Like, I feel like I needed to apologize for my 20s at some point to everybody, but like, yeah, that's what the 20s are for, you know? And um, you know, there are times that I drank more than I'd like to, and then I'd, you know, self-flagellate for at least a couple of days later, you know. But it was getting also to the point where it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. Like a glass, one glass of wine at night was keeping me up in the middle of the night and making me more stressed. And the point of it was to de-stress. So I was like, well, this isn't serving me in any way. Right. But also it was helping me numb my conversation with soul self. Mm-hmm. Or numb may not be the right word.
SPEAKER_03:It was a good word. That's a good word. Julia? Yeah, because what it did is put a filter over it.
SPEAKER_01:So it didn't hurt so much. Yeah. Yeah, the filter. It was the filter. And so what I felt was to me, the soul self-convers, oh I'm getting emotional right now, but the soul self-conversation to me, and tapping into the intuitive side of myself and not putting the filter on or blinding myself from who I am or a part of a large part of me was more important to me than fitting in. Absolutely. And so that's where and that's what I hold on to. So now I've like thinking about drinking or whatever, I'm like, I don't really want to. Like, I can have a fake drink. I love that they have a whole bunch of those now. Just to like yeah, mock just great. It's juice. It's like juice. I basically it's like carbonated juice. Yeah. But like I can have like one or two of those, and then I'm like, my stomach hurts, and I'm like, Yeah, well, yeah. They're too sweet. You know, but it's like, and then I'll just have water, who cares? I'd love to go to bed before nine. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Your kids are late later than you, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you know, so so it's like, but the point was is that and then I I have ADHD, and with that, I did not realize until years later I had what I thought was a separate conversation or separate part of self, which was depression, that I've always had a relationship with. And I didn't realize till the last few years that that relationship is part of my ADHD relationship. Yeah. And because it wasn't acknowledged.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yes. But when I drank, you know, it would it would um further impede that self-love conversation.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:So it's it's a block.
SPEAKER_01:Connecting to the soul self. Yeah, connecting to the soul self, I'm just bringing it back to so that depression part was enhanced by alcohol, you know, the alcohol in my chemistry enhanced the depression part.
SPEAKER_03:I think that alcohol isn't it a depressant. It's a depressive.
SPEAKER_01:It is a depressant. Yeah. But if you're already dealing with low levels, you know. Anyway, so to me it was more important to keep When did you realize you were ADHD? Oh my god. Well, a label for it was when the label became wildly known. It was kind of like a no-bling. But when I was a kid, I mean, I mean, from the get-go, but we didn't have anything to call it except for you're an annoying bad kid who's always getting in trouble and won't shut up. Like that and can't focus. That's what we called it back in the 80s. Yes. Like it wasn't until the 90s that all I was like, I ADHD. I was like, oh yeah, yeah, that makes sense. You know, but I didn't really know. So I actually didn't get diagnosed until I was, until my daughter got diagnosed. Because I thought, you know what? I'm gonna get diagnosed with you. We'll do this together. And um I remember, because I always felt stupid, you know, as a kid. And I remember the chick saying to me in the in the um evaluation, she goes, you know, you're smart. And I was like, shut up. Who are you talking about?
unknown:You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:I was like, what are you talking about? And she's like, no, you're like really smart. And I was like, stop, seriously? And she's like, Yeah, because you know, you have to do all these tests and whatever.
SPEAKER_02:And I was like, wow.
SPEAKER_01:I was like, so does that mean I'm ADHD? And she was like, oh my god, yes, you're 12. She was like, there's no doubt that you're right. What about your daughter, too? I wonder if it's genetic. Do you think it's hereditary? ADHD is genetic. It is genetic, but I will also say I have another opinion, I have lots of opinions. About, I feel like the tension span with our technology, YouTube shorts, shorts, stuff like that, all that, you know, the way we consume information nowadays highlights and emphasizes the neuropathways in an ADH way, ADHD way in the brain. So the kids more kids are being diagnosed with ADHD that may just be responding to their environment, not necessarily chemically born.
SPEAKER_03:It's so bad for that.
SPEAKER_01:It is. And every time I hear from my kids, I'm born, there's nothing to do, which it's often, I will say, Well, good for you. This is the boredom is the breeding ground for creativity. Get at it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:They both love creating stuff, yeah. That's good. They do. They do.
SPEAKER_01:They do. How how about with your children? Did you um are your kids at But your son is a is a meditation teacher?
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Tristan like me. I'm sorry, I completely forgot. Yes. You forgot about him? Yeah, I forgot about it. I I did, I really did. Because he was a lawyer first for a long time. And then he realized it wasn't his calling, but I kind of I didn't know until the last couple of years when he came out in more ways than one. Yeah. And yeah. And then said, I wanna uh now he's in school to become a psychotherapist. And uh yeah. And he teaches meditation classes on weekends and and he does all kinds of things. But yes, Tristan is definitely a lot like me. I didn't know it. I didn't know a lot a lot to himself. Um, my other three are not like meaning what are they more introverted? Um yeah. And they're not. Uh my husband's not. Um they are well, I have another lawyer. Um, I have uh an um an uh a daughter who's just has a lot of people who she manages underneath her. Um and then um I have a son who is very uh he talked to the wall but the wall talked back. So just very and they're all just so extroverted and they all they think I'm kind of they love me and they love how I raise them, right? But I don't know if they understand me, and that's okay. It's okay. I love them. That's okay. That's who they are.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. You don't have to understand someone to love them. No, not if they're your children, especially. No, especially, especially. Karen, your books sound amazing. So you said they're all on Amazon, and I'm and I have some that I'm I'm ready to read. I'm excited to read, but I really am. I and I love the way you sequence them because they do sound like a journey through each one.
SPEAKER_03:They're all on Amazon. Once I'll just quickly go through them. One's called Who Are You? Finding Your Superpower. Second one's called Dreamscapes, and that's integrating the subconscious and the conscious dreams. So you figure out what it is you're dreaming, like fear of flying, fear of falling. But most yeah, a lot of us have those. Subconsciously speaking, which is purely about hypnotherapy and what it entails, which was the first. I'm that I'm sorry, that was the beginning. But you are not alone, it's the one that's made the biggest impact. And that talks about that really hits home and hard on self love and self esteem and self compassion. And I feel like if we give ourselves that self compassion, we don't need anymore to be perfect. When you're really truly have that, then you'll say, Okay, I messed up. It is what it is. And so it's really important. But the in that book, I talk about grace. I talk about little spirituality after we talk about self-love. Then we go through some of the childhood traumas people have gone through because you have to. And then we come out the other side about choices because there's so many people who make the wrong choices because they haven't understood what they're doing and the power of who they are and why they are doing what they're doing. Right. So you can make the right choice if you understand yourself, if you process those emotions, or an empowered choice.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. You can empower yourself with choice instead of make small choices out of a small mental framework.
SPEAKER_03:Right.
SPEAKER_01:You know, instead of expanded, empowered, fearless.
SPEAKER_03:Both forks in the road say you want are great. But sometimes they're not. And uh you just want to be in that position to kind of understand where you're and then I talk about on S1 passions and oh gratitude and then passion. So that's that whole book. I gave it to you. Yeah. Up in the air does a lot of philosophy, a lot of uh it goes into all kinds, like I told you, of vibrations of the earth and energy healing and shields, because some people like me, uh, I do use energy shields. Um I don't do need them. Do you? When you're at a I do. You mean like energetic like shield yourself from from the energy sometimes of others?
SPEAKER_01:I have what I call the kind clear gel, which it's like a like a clear, you know, thing, but it's like it's you know, maybe an inch or two thick, and it absorbs and absolves anything that's not serving inside out to outside in.
SPEAKER_03:Good. That's what I arm myself. Or I use crystal crystal clear. And I literally think about a sphere around me. Yes. And I'm like, I'm putting that around me because I'm feeling a way too much right now, and I don't want to blow it for say it's one of my kings or something. I just want to be okay. So I'm just I put those shields up and I'm good.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Um it's funny that you have the exact same thing. Really? I do.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's very universal if you tap into, you know, um I mean, my hope and my love would be for us all to talk without words, to have that kind of emotional telepathy or speak in the way of intuitives, how you would do an intuitive reading. I mean, I feel like if we can connect in that space, override this I'll say, you know, 3D, you know, world that a lot of the bullshit falls away.
SPEAKER_03:You're right.
SPEAKER_01:You know?
SPEAKER_03:You're completely right. We live in a very I hate to say it, not that I won't use a negative way of looking at it, but we don't live in an authentic world.
SPEAKER_01:It's a very dense world. So it makes it hard to see through things.
SPEAKER_03:And things can get confused easily and manipulated and I'm interrupting you again, but I'm sure that both of us want us kind of be with like-minded people. I've learned that. Have you? Yeah. So it's really that's really important for our healing for us to be whole. But we do have to deal with others that are not on that wavelength.
SPEAKER_01:No, and navigating that is maybe that's your next book.
SPEAKER_03:Are you trying to give me more work?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. I mean, once you finally realize like once you kind of come to terms with man, the reason I don't feel like I fit is because I don't, and that's okay, but I like where I'm at, and I don't want to shift me or downgrade my frequency in order to match others. That's in order to be loved by you.
SPEAKER_03:Yes. And is your love real anyway? If you're trying to keep it.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. I would say for that, I would say like it's not if it's real or not, it's it's the the depth of the frequency of it. Perfect.
SPEAKER_02:That's perfect. Right? Yes. I agree.
SPEAKER_01:Because like and this is maybe controversial to say, but Hitler didn't know he was Hitler. Do you see what I mean? I do. And we're both Jewish. Hitler thought he was being he was doing the right thing. I remember we're both Jewish though. Right? Oh, you are? Yeah, remember? We talked about it. Oh, that's right. That's right. But yes, no, I mean, it's the point being, like, he can't see past his own vibration. Right. And you can't fault someone for that. You can you can hope they elevate their vibration, you can hope that they see through the how their vibration radiates out to others and affects them in a not so positive way or elevating way. But you can't fault them for their vibration.
SPEAKER_03:You know what's weird. I never have mentioned this before, but I did do kind of a deep dive looking at Hitler from uh a different perspective in Argentina when where they some people he retired. And some people said that he was kind, caring, looked him in the eye, seemed very loving. So that was what I read, and that so didn't go with the fact that he all my ancestors, right? So uh it it I just was like, wow, you could actually have two different ways of using that frequency if you do not understand what you're doing or who you are, right? That's true.
SPEAKER_01:That's true, and and also I mean going back to the failure and going back to social media and and the state of the state of, you know, I don't even like to say this, but the cancel culture crap. You know, it's that's not allowing people it's not giving people the autonomy to change. I hear you. And I'm not saying Hitler would have changed, but I'm saying, but what I am saying is like we're allowed to.
SPEAKER_02:We're allowed to.
SPEAKER_03:As we grow, that's part of that journey you were talking about and I was talking about. We're allowed to change our perspective, we're allowed to make mistakes, we are still human. And I have learned actually, I'm much better, even every month, I think, at shaking things off that would have bothered me before. Yeah. I go in and out, but yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's good. Just call me if you need me. I will. I will. I'll be like, can't take this one, Karen. Help me. Help the sister out. I'll go get a blanket and some soft music.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I'll just throw in those affirmations at you. It can be tell me, tell me what my brain needs to know. You will be, I will be. I like to put it in the third person. Yes. Um, all right, Karen, how can people find you? Well, either my website is eternal empath, two words together dot com. Or all the books are on Amazon too. I got you.
SPEAKER_01:I'll put it all in there. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. It was a joy talking to you. I I just I'm so grateful our souls found each other.

On that conversation, I have a couple of offerings I'd love to share with you. I did speak about how in the conversation, how it would be delightful, and my hope for the world is that we can communicate in an intuitive way without all the BS of words that get in the way of what's really at our core, kind of our light connecting to our light. If you want to make it sound metaphysical, which we kind of in order to bring this hope and dream into the future, I am offering a three-month intuitive mastery for the creative empath called Trust You Are a Spiritual Badass. Because you are three months weekly live coaching, uh group coaching. And this is to learn how to clear your lens. We spoke a little bit about that in this episode so that you can communicate clearly with your intuition and not through some kind of filter that you inherited that you picked up along the way or that's not yours. So clear the lens for your intuition. Second month, we focus on the conversation with our intuition. What is the relationship? How do we communicate? How do we interpret it? How do we interpret what our intuition is communicating to us? And then the third month is how do we do that with others? How do we take those tools and put them into practical use in the universe? That is my hope. And if this sounds interesting to you, you can book a discovery call with me, a uh consultation at Creative Empath Call to see if this is the right fit for you. I would love to help you foster this relationship to self and in turn relationship to others. Let's make some magical waves and ripple them out, people, right? All right. I hope you enjoy your day.

In order to bring this hope and dream into the future, I am offering a three-month intuitive course, intuitive mastery for the creative empath, called Trust You Are a Spiritual Badass, because you are. And we meet three months weekly live coaching, group coaching. And this is to learn how to clear your lens.

And if this sounds interesting to you, you can book a discovery call with me, a uh consultation at Creative Empath Call, and we can connect further on that to see if this is the right fit for you. When I first started training yoga, my teacher said to me, There are two reasons why people come to learn yoga. One is the physical, the people who are coming in to learn the physical, to get their body into health, to focus on the body and the body's holistic functioning, right? Well-balanced functioning. The other is the spiritual. People come to yoga to gain the spiritual wisdom that yoga offers, the scientific structure of yoga. But here's the thing: those who come for the physical will get a little bit of the spiritual. Those who come for the spiritual will get a little bit of the physical. I see the same thing when it comes to creativity and intuition. So for the creative who wants to focus or is coming on the creative portion of self, like you feel that relationship has weakened along the line in your life and you want to reinvigorate it. I have the monthly meetups. That's we get together virtually, we meditate on the lunar themes of the month as to give us a springboard and an energetic time awareness to what might be being asked of us energetically at the moment. Then we create, whether it's coloring a coloring page I provide, or just doing your own thing, or just playing and exploring and doodling. I offer journal prompts and then we share. The insights that come through are not only mesmerizing, but the connections that kind of ripple through each other subconsciously without connection, verbally, prior, is it's just it's magic. That's what I believe. So there is that. And then I also offer coaching. If you're not in the mood for a group and you do want to connect to your intuitive self, but you'd like a little guidance and some tools as to how to clear your energy, how to work with your intuition. I offer the intuitive soul course, which is two parts. One is a huge deep dive reading, which is more of like what I call a, I call it a deep tissue massage for your soul, soul talk. And it comes with an audio recording and personalized workbook. In addition, you have a follow-up coaching session, mini coaching session with me to help you incorporate all the stuff, the insights, the messages that came through in your reading so that it doesn't just come up and go away. You can actually use it in your life. And I also offer coaching for intuition in general. So whether it's personal, in a group, coming from the intuitive side or the creative side, I would love to help you foster this relationship to self and in turn relationship to others. Let's make some magical waves and ripple them out, people, right? All right. I hope you enjoy your day. You can find everything on magnetize your light.com. And thank you for watching. And if you're with me still, God bless. And thank you so much to Karen Blaine for our wonderful conversation. Have a wonderful week. Make some magic today. I'll see you soon.
