The Spiritual Grind
Your Spiritual Spam Folder Might Be Full of Opportunities You're Missing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever had that nagging feeling you should turn left instead of right, or check out something that seemed beyond your reach, only to discover it was exactly what you needed? Those nudges and coincidences aren't random—they're breadcrumbs guiding you toward your highest path.
In this episode of Spiritual Grind, we dive deep into the concept of recognizing and following signs from the universe. We share our personal experience of almost missing an incredible opportunity because our initial reaction was "we can't afford that" or "it's not possible." While shopping for a simple part for our motorcoach, we received an intuitive nudge to look at newer models—a nudge we could have easily dismissed. Instead, by following it, we discovered a luxury motorcoach at a price point we never imagined possible, transforming our perspective on what might be available to us.
We explore the concept of the "spiritual spam folder"—that mental filter where we categorize and dismiss potentially life-changing guidance. Just as you might occasionally need to check your email spam folder for important messages accidentally filtered out, we need to regularly examine the nudges, encounters, and opportunities we've dismissed. Sometimes the most profound guidance comes packaged in ways our logical minds initially reject.
The journey of following signs requires balancing discernment with openness. Not every sign demands immediate action—sometimes it simply invites us to expand our awareness of possibilities. When evaluating potential paths, notice if they feel easy and graceful or forced and difficult. True alignment typically unfolds with relative ease, even when challenges arise along the way. Ready to discover what guidance you might be missing? Tune in and learn to recognize the signs that are already all around you.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere the Signs
Speaker 2Thank you. Spiritual grind is back on the air.
Speaker 1Grinding it out, baby. Grinding it out One bean at a time.
Speaker 2Two beans, three beans.
Speaker 1Maybe four.
Speaker 2Soup, there it is.
Speaker 1I was thinking Jack and the Beanstalk.
Speaker 2I was thinking three bean soup.
Speaker 1Sometimes it can be a three bean soup.
Speaker 2I got a special something for you this morning you did. Signs, signs, everywhere the signs. Nice, you like that? Yeah, you like my singing.
Speaker 1I do. It's pretty good, isn't it everywhere?
Speaker 2the signs. Nice, you like that? Yeah, you like my singing? I do. It's pretty good, isn't it?
Speaker 1I like the signs, you like the signs? Yeah, they're exciting.
Speaker 2That's what my show is about this morning. Love it Is. Do we see the signs?
Speaker 1Do we see the signs?
Speaker 2Do we accept the signs Even though it may be something we don't like? Hmm. Do we identify the signs, even if it's something we do like? Hmm. Do we allow our human to interfere way too much because we have the human emotions based upon something that we view as harsh, when it could be three times better than we ever imagined it? Yeah Well, that's what it's about, really. For me, it's a good topic, man, it is. It's a pretty big one because everybody seems to do it and they don't even realize it. It can be minor things like making a right instead of a left for the stoplight. It can be driving down a back road on a motorcycle just to slow down, going around the corner, because you get the urge to slow down and it saves you from hitting an animal on the road, or you know just whatever. And those are actually examples that we have been through.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, and I mean we experienced that I did this morning actually.
Speaker 2So you listened to Tesla this morning.
Speaker 1Signs, signs everywhere, signs. No, I listened to you, oh, and you helped me navigate a perspective that I had that wasn't allowing myself to be open and receptive and see the excitement and possibility of a door that popped open for us.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I had a perspective that was based on someone else's actions.
Speaker 2I want to prelude something real quick. Sure, I think this morning was a testament to how awesome our relationship is.
Speaker 1Absolutely.
Speaker 2Because sometimes the monkey mind inspires things and when you're spiritually open, like as we are, and communicate well, our communication 99% of people would have.
Speaker 1Arguments over 99% of people would have arguments over yeah, and I mean even that, because our life isn't like that. I forget to conceptualize that, because to me, what we do is just the norm and I think sometimes I find myself thinking, wow, doesn't everybody do this? But the reality is that, no, they, they don't. And you're completely right. The interaction that we had this morning for some would have turned out into a all-out knock down drag bar brawl right and it's the truth.
Speaker 2you know, uh, when, when there's signs that fall into your lap and you're spiritually open in your journey, you have to listen to those things, and I'm not really going to disclose what the signs of poppet is this morning because I don't want to humanly interact with any of it.
Speaker 1And.
Speaker 2I just want to let the energy be open and free to what does happen. But when I brought it up or when it came into my reality, I was like, hmm, that's odd. It was kind of like yesterday with our experience with the, you know, with the motor coach at the motor coach place and where the I just got a call on thursday from this guy about doing that, and anyway we were. We went to the motor coach place yesterday to get a part for our motor coach and we ended up looking at a brand new coach and we made this upgrade.
Speaker 1We looked at several, yeah, just because we were curious.
Seeing vs. Missing Life's Guidance
Speaker 2But this one coach is $300,000 off because it's a year old and they didn't sell it, and so they're trying to get rid of their inventory and we would be stu. I mean, to me giving up on $300,000 in equity would be insanity.
Speaker 1Right, well, and I think the interesting thing about the journey is that we went there for a part.
Speaker 2Yes, that was it.
Speaker 1That's why we went there. And in going there we both got the nudge to hey, because when you go they always have motor coaches set up so you can just walk in and look at them. And there was a couple of different. There was a Winnie that was like ours, but it was newer. And then they had two others that were a different brand, different flavor, set up.
Speaker 1And we were like, hey, just for fun, let's just go see. We got that nudge to go and see what they look like on the inside. We could have very well said uh, you know what. We have things to do.
Speaker 2I can't pay for that, and why would I even look at it?
Speaker 1Right, or I've got tasks I want to get done today. I don't have time to do that Instead of listening to the sign or the nudge right Sign, signs, everywhere the signs. But because we didn't let those things dictate our reality, as most of the time we don't. We went in and looked around at the brand new Winnie.
Speaker 2Yeah, we looked at the brand new Winnie and it's a 2025.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's the same model of ours, not upgraded as much. Right right right, and it was $298,000.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And then we go look at another Integra coach, which in the motor coach world Integra's are, like you know, the creme de la creme.
Speaker 1Creme de la creme de la creme.
Speaker 2And because you can actually custom order them and everything, and that's what most of the famous celebrities use Creme de la creme.
Speaker 1That's the word of the day.
Speaker 2So we looked at this one coach and we weren't impressed with it at all. Actually, we looked at the other, integra Anthem Right. It's a 2024 year old.
Speaker 1And it was nice.
Speaker 2Oh, it was very nice. And then we get off and go look at the other integra. There was a 2025 and smaller and we didn't think it was anywhere near as nice, but it was right, but the but.
Speaker 1At that point we were guessing. We were actually playing a guessing game on how much we thought that it was they were wanting for it right, yeah, and you were guessing very, very high and I was, I was like nah? Surely not.
Speaker 2Well, I thought the first one was probably going to be around $800,000 to $1.3 million Right, right, right. And the second, Integra, we looked at when I saw the price tag because I was very disappointed with it.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I was like wow.
Speaker 1It's hardly not.
Speaker 2And then I looked at the price tag and 76, I was like what shut the front door?
Speaker 1what's going on?
Speaker 2so, then, that sparked an interest on wanting to know what the price of the other one was yeah, and so we went back in after we got done, looking at all three of them, and I asked the lady at the front desk. And then she yells across the room with richie and richie says, uh, 440 000, what?
Speaker 1what, what?
Speaker 2what did you say? Yeah no way it knocked our socks off and he said, yeah, there's a special deal on it because it was last year's inventory and if you finance it, then then you get another. It's like 60 000 off. Blah, blah, blah blah.
Speaker 1I was like no kidding it was a very good example of what we talk about on a regular basis and following the signs we could have very well listened to the lie that was created of, oh you know what. It's probably close to a million.
Speaker 2This is a million dollar motor coach.
Speaker 1We ain't got that laying around. We've got a motor coach. Let's just move on, get our part and go on.
Speaker 2And don't get me wrong, I love our motor coach. I love our little Winnebago Adventure. Love that thing.
Speaker 1I don't think it's.
Speaker 2There is a couple things that I wanted. It doesn't have.
Speaker 1It's not little by any means.
Speaker 2No, it's not little.
Speaker 1But it's cute to say little Winnie.
Speaker 2Yeah, because we used to have a mini Winnie.
Speaker 1We did have a mini Winnie.
Speaker 2But the thing about it was is is when he said 440,000, I like to fell out of my shoes because I remember looking at one similar to that last when we first looked around. What a year ago maybe, when we were there for something, I don't remember.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And it was like 994 or something.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2And I was like when he said 440, I literally Timing Almost could have fainted, and if we'd listened to our monkey mind and not seen the signs.
The Motorcoach Opportunity Story
Speaker 1When we got out of the jeep we wouldn't look at it at all. Right, we just we just went back to the parts and then came back and yeah, and so I, I think the I think that what we're sharing this for is just to get everybody to remember that sometimes, when you leave the house and you have these to-do lists and these objectives, if you're not careful, you will forget to see the signs and to just kind of go with the flow, sometimes Because you may be missing out on a life-changing event.
Speaker 2You just don't ever know.
Speaker 1Those nudges come in all different flavors and colors.
Speaker 2Because the prelude to that also was on Thursday I got a call from our finance people that we financed our current coach through and the guy said you know, almost everybody upgrades in the first year and when you decide you want to do that, just give me a call.
Speaker 1And y'all have been longtime customers.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, he said, because we've used them for many things. Right, we've used them over the years I bought two Harleys through him, yeah, and them over the years I bought two Harleys through them, yeah, and so he just randomly, out of the blue, reached out. On Thursday, just randomly out of the blue, it was like why is Iron Horse calling me?
Speaker 1Right, exactly, we didn't ask for it, humanly.
Speaker 2He said everybody finds out that there's stuff on these that they want, that they didn't buy, yeah, and so they end up upgrading within the first year, normally. Right, right or, and so they end up upgrading within the first year, normally Right, right and or they'll go to a whole different coach. And he said when you decide you want to do that, let me know, because you will Just give me a call.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean you know. The reality is is that you know that's our higher self saying okay, embrace the concept, because you're ready for the next thing? Right, you're ready for the next thing. Next thing, right, you're ready for the next thing. I think it's also a very good example that we try to teach of you are where you are, follow the breadcrumbs and take the next best step.
Speaker 1because at the time when we bought the, the motor coach we have, we weren't even able to get from where we were yeah to the 400 and thousand or whatever mark right, we just weren't there yet, right and so you've got to take the stepping stones on whatever the topic is, and that's a good example of what that looks like you know for had to buy the coach that we have now in order to open that vibrational frequency of being able to see it, being able to see the signs because we weren't well, you know and part of that was my fault, because, you know, just six years ago um, kind of give you a history I had a zero credit score because I paid all my bills off for like 10 years and I bought everything in cash.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And so we. I went to buy a bed and the guy was like are you, can I see your credit card? Cause I've never seen a man of your age that that has a zero credit score. Are you hustling me?
Speaker 1Right? Are you doing something illegal?
Speaker 2He literally thought we were doing something Right and I was like no, I just haven't bought anything on credit in like 12 years. Not, you know, they didn't teach us back then that credit goes away, it just disappears and your credit score disappears. I had no clue. I thought my awesome credit score was going to be in place still, right, but anyway. So, to make a long story short, we go through all this, we finally we get a financing for a Jeep Renegade and we're working on building my credit back up.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And when we go to buy this motorhome. This was the really first large loan that we had, even though we did get approved for a mortgage, and that was kind of an eye-opening event, and so we went through the processes and following the signs of things. I mean, the reason why we didn't buy the house in daytona is because we're gonna buy this motorcoach right and so we're just follow the signs and follow the the realm of it, and sometimes we miss them too.
Speaker 2But right, yeah, I mean, but yeah being open to whatever it leads you to. Okay, why is this in our reality?
Speaker 1Yeah, and what we use to identify whether we should continue forward or not is if it's easy and graceful. If it begins to kind of feel hard and kind of like a struggle this many years of doing our process, against a kind of feel hard and kind of like a struggle this many years of doing our process. We know that just because the door opened to give us insight doesn't mean necessarily that we're supposed to go all the way with it.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1Yeah and and like the house thing, you know, we put a contract on it didn't pan out. We're like, okay, it's, it's turned, the winds have turned into this no longer kind of feels fun, it feels kind of forced, it feels kind of um which?
Speaker 2would have been a great deal if the lady would have.
Speaker 1Yeah definitely, but the doors were just not opening. The ease and grace of it kind of dissipated. So instead of being disappointed that we didn't get that house, we looked at it from a perspective of okay, that particular event got us from point A to point B. Release the assumption and the insistence that we've got to have that house which leaves you open to okay, what's the next breadcrumb. What's the next stepping stone of where we're supposed to go with it.
Speaker 2What's next on the list?
Speaker 1Because I don't know about you, but me, whenever I was looking at these 20 houses, I mean we looked at house after house after house, house after house after house, and never in my mind was the concept of buying a mobile unit.
Speaker 2But now that I have one, it's opened so many different yeah, you can take anywhere possibility of of of many topics you don't just have a beach house, you have a mobile beach house.
Speaker 1Or a. Country, camping Country glamping or a what do you call it, when you go to the snow place?
Speaker 2Skiing, yeah Ski resort.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, you see you have a mobile ski resort. Yeah, I mean, you can just take it anywhere.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 1And it is. The other thing is you know I can office out of it. I can see clients out of it.
Speaker 2We can podcast out of it.
Speaker 1Anywhere I want to be.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So if I've got a passive clients that are on the other side of the state, I just love my little hermit crab house up and I go over there and see clients for a while.
Speaker 2She calls it the hermit crab. Maybe that's what you should decorate it in, maybe.
Speaker 1Maybe I should paint it like a hermit crab shell.
Speaker 2I know that hermit crab shell has got some polish issues that I'm dealing with. Yes, I need that hermit crab to be a little bit more clean.
Speaker 1Anyway, it's got a little bit of a wax buildup.
Speaker 2That's not no, whoever anyway.
Speaker 1But that is a perfect example of what we teach as far as just being open and receptive to the crumbs and following the crumbs and not being insistent about how it has to look and following your emotional guidance system when it starts to feel not fun anymore or it starts to kind of feel yucky, releasing it.
Speaker 2Right, it's okay. Like yesterday, the very first thought I had was this is doable, and I want to throw a little disclaimer out there.
Speaker 1Sure.
Speaker 2When you all have a sign like that and say it's like if you were to use the motorhome thing, or if you're at a car lot and you're going to get a part and you end up looking at a new car or whatever that is, it doesn't mean that you absolutely have to stay there, be staunch and get that new car, get that new thing right then, right now. It does not mean that it could just mean that your higher self, your spiritual guidance, your God, whatever that is is putting that energy into your reality.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And it's just opening your mind to a different thought process.
Speaker 1Right, Because societally we've been taught to be a. I'll believe it when I see it.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1And so sometimes, when you're trying to align with the reality of you having it, it's good to go and touch it, taste it, smell it, feel it.
Speaker 2Lick it. That's what I did. I called dibs.
Speaker 1Oh my God, Okay, I call dibs. Oh my God, okay, listen guys, if you're out there at lazy days, looking at the motor coach, and you grab the handle. My husband could have very well licked the handle. So wash your hands.
Speaker 2Excuse me.
Speaker 1That brings in a whole nother yeah that's kind of funny. I feel like I need you to have a button. That's the crowd booing.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, no, I put dibs. I ain't booing my dibs.
Speaker 1No, but the crowd is knowing that you licked some door handle of some RV somewhere.
Speaker 2How funny is it though. The parts lady said, yeah, if we take a nap in one of the motorcoaches, they have to sell it as used.
Speaker 1I know, isn't that crazy.
Speaker 2It is crazy.
Speaker 1So we went to the parts department and I don't know we got to gabbing about different things and she said they get in trouble, big trouble, yeah, for going in the motor coaches themselves. And she shared with us that if they get caught by a customer asleep in one, it then has to be sold as a used unit, even if somebody hasn't like like. I would think you would at least have to pee in the pot or drive it or something. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2I mean I don't know what qualifies motor coaches for being classified as new and not new. You know like, because I know in cars there's like so many miles right and then they can do a program, because that once I do that it can go to a program car or whatever yeah and then it has to go to use, but it's. I was surprised by that I was extremely surprised.
Speaker 1So that's the secret.
Speaker 2If you want to buy a motor coach, go squat in one of them overnight.
Speaker 1No, and then they have to sell it used. I don't think it's you that does the squatting. Oh, it's got to be somebody else. Oh, okay, I squatted in this, so now it's used. So now sell it to me for use.
Speaker 2I don't think it rolls like that. It don't work that way, no. I think somebody else has to do it, even if you put dibs on it too.
Speaker 1Yes, no, I don't think so. So the key would be to pay somebody to go fall asleep in it. You find them and then go from there.
Speaker 2Like you know what are we teaching exactly. About watching the signs? No, no.
Speaker 1And so we've kind of been.
Speaker 2So we've kind of been, I mean we're we're kind of teaching people how to be unethical. Well, we're just giving the information. What they do with it is up to them.
Speaker 1Here's the loophole, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2But uh, so I want to talk about this as well. Let's see in the science because, um, everybody does this, Like everybody has a spam folder. Yeah, and we have a human spam folder. Yeah, and we have a human spam folder yeah. And things will come into us and we just like pop it over into spam.
Speaker 1Oh, good analogy.
Speaker 2I like it and so every now and then we need to go back and check our spam folder.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Because you'd never know, you know, you never know what will pop up in the spam file.
Speaker 1What are you putting in your spam folder of life?
Speaker 2Because when you identify things like, you'll have people that come into your reality and say things and you may not think of it as life-changing or a journey. A what do they call that? Radius Trajectory? No, when you go from point A to point B, what's that called?
Speaker 1A line.
Speaker 2Journey. I think it's called a radius right.
Speaker 1No, radius is around Anyway. Okay, can we get all the geometry folks to?
Speaker 2come in. But when those things come into your reality, you may hear it and you'll put it over in a spam file and then you never look at it again. And so stop and say to yourself I'm going to open my spam file today and find out like why did this random guy walk up to me at Walmart and say you have cool shoes Right.
Speaker 1Does that have some meaning? It doesn't have a meaning to it and do it from not only literal but symbolically. Look at it from both angles.
Speaker 2Because it could be showing you a belief. It could be showing historical event something.
Speaker 1Or your next step. Or your next step? It could be the breadcrumb, it could be a shoe sale. Take it literally and then take it from the symbolic. What does it represent? What does it stand for? Right.
Speaker 2Kind of break that down yeah, and you'll be. Maybe you're inventing the next new shoe, who knows?
Speaker 1Who knows?
Speaker 2It could put you into a journey of craziness and fun.
Speaker 1I mean just him commenting on the shoes could be hey, here's your next step. Symbolically, open your eyes because your next step is headed in your direction. Yep, and you're going to like it.
Speaker 2So when those signs pop in, like for me this morning, it was kind of like hmm, why is this in my reality? And what a cool place to be yeah, for sure because it just opens more doors yeah you know, um listening to the because, and there's always secondary meaning to these signs. There's always something that you don't see right and it again. Right, and it can. What's that Was that?
Speaker 1What are you doing? I swear on my Listen. We need to get a video. He's over here looking at his body part as it flings about when he waved his arm.
Speaker 2Do we clarify that's my arm, not my. Yeah, okay, anyway, as it flings about, but is it not Naked Podcast? Well, okay, anyway as it flings about what?
Speaker 1is it Not Naked Podcast? Well, you're sitting there waving your wing about not?
Speaker 2liking the way it flew. I felt like I had a little fat jiggle in there.
Speaker 1You may have. No, there's no fat right there Might need to do some push-ups, Something maybe.
Speaker 2I don't know. I felt like my wing flapped.
Speaker 1Squirrel.
Speaker 2But there's always a secondary purpose behind these things. Normally.
Speaker 1What do you mean?
Speaker 2Like, for example, we were looking at buying a house.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And when that didn't work out, we just kind of moved on about life and the secondary purpose of us looking to buy a house was to open our energy up to buy the motor coach.
Speaker 1Yeah, buying a house, but being open to and not be insistent that it had to be.
Speaker 2Right, because that's what we did. We humanly interjected into it. It had to be this way in this place.
Speaker 1Like a secure place? Like what do you call that? Like a non-movable land home? Oh, a Open up to whatever that house looks like? Right, and release that. It's got to be this one.
Speaker 2Or it's got to look like this, and if we'd have really stopped and logically thought through it. A motor coach makes more sense for us it really does, we just yeah, we just weren't there. Yeah, we didn't run in that mindset, I didn't even trust my mind.
Speaker 1Yeah higher self had to get us there and we trust in that wholeheartedly. 100 and so whenever that didn't work out, we was like, okay, whatever that's supposed to look like.
Speaker 2So I think a key to this seeing the signs is trusting in your own higher self or your spiritual guidance, because a lot of times, people will see the signs and they'll be like why would I waste my time doing that? Or I've already done that before, or you don't know, maybe you're going to have a new experience within the same experience, or it's something that your guidance is going to open doors for you, right?
Speaker 2Get you from point A to point B, you have to be able to trust yourself and trust your higher self and trust your spiritual leader and whoever that is, God, whoever- you have to be able to trust, because we are taught, like you said earlier, by society to seeing as believing, and then when you go to church on Sunday, they teach you to have faith.
Speaker 2By what is it? How's that verse go? You have faith by, or you believe in God through faith, not by sight, and so it's a confusing little bit of a conflicting belief system that you get taught.
Speaker 1It's definitely a double belief when you're running both those programs. You trust through faith, not by sight. That's the verse.
Speaker 2And that's where the trip up comes in it could be definitely, Because that's two totally different perspectives. On the same item, same topic Right and it could affect a lot of different things. It can, and so trusting in your higher self.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean I think that on this topic and our own personal life example, just a good reminder of stop and listen to the spam. The spam program and just be lighthearted about it and if it's nudging you to go and look at this thing that you feel like is even outside of what you have a perspective of being able to afford, even just take a fun little journey quickly and and and go in that direction for a minute and see what happens.
Speaker 2That's exactly what happened to me yesterday. Yeah, it was one point that I was thinking it was like a million dollars.
Speaker 1I'm like I can afford that and then it was fun to look at it, yeah.
Check Your Spam Folder of Life
Speaker 2And he gave me a number that we can afford what. Where did? Gave me a number that we can afford what. What did that? You know that was. That's a prime example of that.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's trusting. This went through the process and something told me to go in there and ask what the price was Right, and so I did.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I mean that was higher self saying okay. I'm going to surprise you now, little boy go see what the price is, so that I can show you the magnificence of where I'm trying to take you.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's kind of great. It was really cool. I mean this thing is awesome. But it's awesome New, it's got air leveling air ride. All you do is hook up the poop line and electronically dumps the tanks for you. It's like insane.
Speaker 1Disembarking poop. Now, please stand.
Speaker 2They don Disembarking poop now. Please stand by Don't just disembark it pulverizes everything, combines the tanks, cleans them, leans the coach and then pumps it uphill.
Speaker 1Right, it's a whole coach. That's AI. Will it drive itself?
Speaker 2Almost, I know right. It's got electronic steering in it and it's got lane mitigation and everything. Yeah, it's got lane mitigation and everything. Yeah, it's got 360 degree cameras. One of them comes with.
Speaker 1Rosie, the little robot from.
Speaker 2It does have a vacuum. That will make the bed and stuff. It would be nice it does. It's got a walk-in closet in it.
Speaker 1It's a vacuum in the wall, all you gotta do is just sweep the crap to the little.
Speaker 2And it does have a thing to a normal thing you hook up yeah that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1It's got some pretty major features that are amazing got theater seating yeah it's got a walk-in closet it does. I am eyeballing that closet. You know me in closet space man yeah, it's pretty nice it is, the closet is beautiful.
Speaker 2Italian white leather.
Speaker 1Yeah, marble flooring, marble flooring, yeah, pretty elegant.
Speaker 2It's got all LED lighting. Oh, the coolest part is the underbelly. It's air conditioned, it's climate controlled.
Speaker 1Climate controlled underbelly, even humidity.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's insanity.
Speaker 1You could literally stow away under there.
Speaker 2Got an automatic under bed. Two knocks means.
Speaker 1I'm hot.
Speaker 2One knock means I'm cold.
Speaker 1Three knocks means I'm hungry, send food.
Speaker 2They got automatic tray system in it too. You open the door and you push the button in the tray. It slides out, Right? I'm just like, yeah, this is like the best of the best it is.
Speaker 1It's an amazing piece, for sure.
Speaker 2It would be amazingly fun to play with yeah, and seeing it's got that eight, it's got air leveling, automatic air leveling yeah, with the airbags with the airbags, or you can use the eight hydraulic jack system, yeah, and you can actually lift the entire unit off the ground with that system. Yeah, if you need to change tires, rotate tires, whatever which I wouldn't be doing that, I'd pay somebody to do it, but because those things are heavy, yeah, those are heavy, heavy tires, air brakes.
Speaker 1Good topic though Seeing the signs.
Speaker 1The way that we go about that is giving space for each other to have the human moment, talking about it, so that you give the energy circuit a place to make that whole circuit ground out, get rid of that energy, so that you can actually see and embrace the true story. Yeah, and embrace the true story, because essentially I was creating some crap that was basically just a lie and it was just kind of hanging out in there and I didn't really even know it was there. It was kind of that next layer leftover garbage about some topics that I thought were cleaned up and gone. And that conversation brought those up and I was able to communicate about it and free up the energy, give it back to the universe to process and put better things in place that are aligned with what we now are.
Speaker 2You put your hair up under your hat.
Speaker 1Yeah, and go to work.
Speaker 2Went in to ask him why.
Speaker 1I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2Long hair freaky people Need not apply.
Speaker 1Oh, the signs. Okay, I'm with you. Now the song.
Speaker 2So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2So every now and then you got to put your hair up under your hat and just go ask that's right, just go follow the signs.
Speaker 1Or leave your hair down.
Speaker 2Sometimes it's fun to pull it out afterwards.
Speaker 1The hair.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Like out of its follicle Under the hair when you're bald.
Speaker 2Under the hair, under the hat. I mean, he put his hair up under his hat and he went in to ask him why, and so after the end of it he pulls his hair back out of his hat.
Speaker 1Oh cause, long hair wasn't acceptable.
Speaker 2That's right. Long hair freaky people need not apply.
Speaker 1Oh, I gotcha.
Speaker 2It's the signs, man. Yeah, it's the signs, though.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. So take those, take those experiences out of your spam folder and investigate them.
Speaker 2Yeah, totally, you know, just be open-minded to it. And you know even the urges to sometimes just go ask questions or whatever those are. That's all signs to do something.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you know, just to plug the Merck Center and kind of what I do as a holistic coach. That's what I do. Is I listen to you?
Speaker 2Here's your sign. Conversate. Here's your sign. Call her.
Speaker 1And yeah, Plug in that Merck Center.
Speaker 2I'm open.
Speaker 1I'm ready for clients. New clients Got spots available, but that's what I do is.
Speaker 2And so do I.
Speaker 1Go Right Okay.
Speaker 2I'm obviously not supposed to plug. No go, no plug, Plug away.
Speaker 1I was just jumping into yeah, I wanted to jump in Interrupting you.
Speaker 2How rude. I am not a cow, you're still doing it. I am not a cow. How rude. Okay, I'll sit up and look this way.
Speaker 1Anyway, good podcast, good topic.
Speaker 2Yeah, it is a good topic Watch for the signs. And I'll finish it, since she wants to be upset with me.
Speaker 1I'm not upset.
Speaker 2I'm an interrupting cow.
Speaker 1If it was meant for me to say it, it would have been a little easier to say it. I see the signs.
Speaker 2I'm utterly disgusted With what? Because I'm an interrupting cow.
Speaker 1What is there to be disgusted about Cows are?
Speaker 2cute. I'm utterly disgusted.
Speaker 1There's a new whole series of cow art, you didn't hear my joke. I'm utterly disgusted, it went in my spam folder.
Speaker 2Apparently, apparently, because I'm utterly disgusted Because I was muttering. Okay well, move on. So you know, this is kind of a fun podcast. I'm kind of enjoying this one, kind of enjoying it, the sounds, peaceful, quietness, just enjoy it.
Speaker 1If you're driving, you might want to tap yourself on the head to wake back up.
Speaker 2No, this is good.
Speaker 1You're putting people to sleep.
Speaker 2No, not at all.
Speaker 1Because there's crickets. Oh, because of the crickets yeah people may be listening to this to get them through their last eight-hour stint of driving on their Eight-hour stint Holy cow. To their vacation spot and they got that last eight-hour run to go and they're looking for something to pep them up and get them going and do the last leg of the journey so they can get there and vacation.
Speaker 2That's what the signs are for when you go down the road. Read the signs.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Signs, signs, everywhere, the signs Right, and so, anyway, when the signs come into your reality and you and you pay, start paying more attention to them. The more you allow yourself to be open, the more they're going to come. And do you agree with that?
Speaker 1Absolutely. Yeah Well, it's a vibration, it's a frequency.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And so if you start teaching yourself the habit of stopping and listening, then the frequency of that is okay, they're going to listen. Let's give them more of that. It's a frequency, and so if you're aligned with the frequency of listening to the signs following the breadcrumbs, then that puts you in that curious, excited, exploratory frequency. And so therefore, more of those clues will come in and come at you and be provided and it becomes very fun, Kind of like hunting Easter eggs at Easter. It's very fun.
Speaker 2Very fun.
Speaker 1Never know what you're going to find.
Speaker 2Yeah, sometimes those eggs have cool things in them.
Speaker 1Yeah, the golden egg with the prize.
Speaker 2Got the money in it Always right. Our golden egg growing up, never mind, Ours always had money in it. Yeah, we never had money eggs.
Speaker 1You never had money.
Speaker 2Only when we went to other people's.
Speaker 1Wow, we used to eat them. Ours always had big money in it.
Speaker 2No, I always knew that we didn't find all our eggs, because all of our eggs were real and they were hard-boiled and we colored them with regular food coloring. There were one egg and then two weeks later, when I was mowing the lawn, I'd find them.
Speaker 1And it was stinky.
Speaker 2Oh my God, it's the most rotten smell you ever smelled in your life. When you're out there in the heat for two weeks.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's the smell you'll never forget.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's kind of like finding the dead bodies.
Speaker 1Oh my God, so morbid.
Speaker 2It's a sign.
Speaker 1A sign of what.
Speaker 2The smell. Here's a sign, a sign of what the smell. Here's a sign that a lot of people don't think about. Have you ever been craving something and then you suddenly start smelling it? Have you ever done that? That happened to me the day before yesterday. That's how my body goes.
Speaker 1I mean, that's how I maneuver my eating is that my body will have me crave, as you call it, a particular kind of food, because it has logged that this particular kind of food will provide the various nutrients that my body needs at that time. And so then, yes, I will even go into a place where not only can I smell it, but I can taste it.
Speaker 1I can identify exactly what it is. And at this point I've been doing it for so many years. If I'm craving, for instance, blackened mahi, I can go even deeper and usually I can figure out by being able to smell it or even taste what in that mixture exactly my body is needing. And it may be the paprika component of it. And then I look up paprika and it does blah, blah, blah and I'm like, oh yeah, because I'm going through a little experience of needing exactly those components just to validate. And it's every time, consistently, without fail.
Speaker 2That happened to me the other day.
Speaker 1It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2First got up, I was like I don't like cinnamon rolls. And then I walk out and I smell cinnamon and then the chef is actually making cinnamon bread. I'm like score. So I went and got a piece of cinnamon bread and two glasses of milk.
Speaker 1And the day was perfect.
Awareness and Final Thoughts
Speaker 2The morning started out pretty good yeah.
Speaker 1Just the signs. Nicely, nicely, I smelted it, so pay attention to pretty good, yeah, just the signs.
Speaker 2Nicely, nicely done. I smelted it. So pay attention to your signs, guys. That's really. You know, this is not a real long podcast, but I think I feel pretty good about it, yeah check that spam folder of life, man Always follow up Get those signs out, because you know how does that happen.
Speaker 1We're conditioned. We're conditioned to stay on task, stay on target, stay on goal and if you're processing those little signs, or the lack thereof, not processing them, and they're just noise wishing rabbi Noise yeah. If you've got them defined as they're just not purposeful noise, they'll go right into that spam folder and you'll be clueless and it'll be like one of those situations where you walk in and it's like you didn't read the room. Chuck.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1And you start talking about something that is.
Speaker 2Because you know what happened, not for the room you don't have a sign. Come in and your human will actually send your sign over to the junk mail.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And it interferes. With it. So check that junk mail, check this PAM.
Speaker 1Yeah, being aware, I think, is always the first key to any of this, I agree. Making yourself consciously aware. I agree, consciously aware, I agree Because that unawareness state is what we've been taught to live life through that unawareness, and so just getting in the habit and practicing being aware.
Speaker 2What does underwear have to do with it?
Speaker 1I didn't say underwear, unless it gives you confidence to wear your underoos you said underwear, it is yeah anyway, your superhero underwear probably gives you confidence, man, that that superman underoos.

Speaker 2No, they'd get mad, because then?
Speaker 1I'd go wash it out and it got all over the bathtub. Back in the day, my grandmother used to put Vaseline on everything that, or use some cream.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean my dad and my uncle used to put Vaseline on everything that or use some cream. Yeah, I mean my dad and my uncle used to use Vaseline too.
Speaker 1My lips are chapped. Here have some Vaseline.

Speaker 1Oh my God, TMI. I don't even want to know that visual no like if he's trying to get the cog to work with the component on a metal feature, he would use Vaseline to grease it up.
