Between Seasons, Between Selves And The Art Of Gentle Emergence

Caught between winter’s hush and spring’s first breath, we step into a month that asks for courage without hurry. Nikki opens up about feeling restless in a season that keeps whispering “slow,” then channels a clear, compassionate read on why the Year of the Fire Horse can feel both electric and uncomfortable. Think of it as cosmic tough love: momentum that exposes the job, habit, or story you’ve outgrown so you can travel lighter.

Nikki explores how eclipse season spotlights what’s been hiding in the corners—money fears, comparison, old triggers—and why awareness is 90% of healing. Instead of forcing output, she reframes this as a level-set phase where soul work looks like movement, water, minerals, and unglamorous rituals that rebuild capacity. You’ll get practical tools for energetic hygiene: end-of-day showers to clear static, Epsom salt baths, time in salt caves, adding trace minerals or sea salt to your water, and knowing the exact moment to close your apps when your body says “enough.” Along the way, she names the collective vibration—uncertainty braided with a rising unity—and how discernment helps you step off autopilot and choose what actually nourishes you.

This conversation lands with a grounded, channeled reminder: you’re not late, you’re right on time. Some of us are sprinting into new roles that came with ease; others are honoring a sacred pause before the next wave of service. Both tracks serve when they’re honest. If you’re ready to trade noise for nerve, to let gratitude become voltage, and to move from survival into thrival, press play and breathe with us.

March sits in that quiet, powerful threshold between seasons. Winter hasn't fully loosened its grip, and spring hasn't fully bloomed. And energetically, many of us are feeling that too. A strange in-between. A subtle restlessness. A sense that something is shifting, even if we can't quite name what it is yet. Instead of rushing towards clarity or forcing forward momentum, this month is about recalibration. It's about listening to your nervous system, honoring the identity shifts happening beneath the surface, and allowing emergence to be soft instead of abrupt. Throughout March, we'll be talking about the messy middle of transformation, the balance of light and shadow around the spring equinox, the role of resilience when life pivots unexpectedly, and how to support your body through seasons of change. If you're in a space where the old version of you no longer fits, but the new version hasn't fully formed, you're not alone. You're not behind. You're not stuck. You're emerging. Let's move through this month gently and intentionally together.

Discernment As A Superpower

SPEAKER_03 2:39

I am Nikki, and this is a solo cast. And this episode actually came from a conversation that Lizzie and I had last week. We were talking about the year of the fire horse and how there are so many messages all around us, us including, we have a podcast about it. I will link it below, about this energy of the fire horse and what it means for the collective, what it means for moving forward, having this momentum. We are shedding the skin of the wooden snake and we are moving into this new era. And Lizzie and I were talking, and we both agreed. We neither of us feel very inspired right now. We feel stuck, a little restless, confused, not really understanding what our next action move is supposed to be. And I wanted to tap in with my guides and I wanted to talk about my experience of what's going on with me and how I'm feeling in this era. Um, because I think that there might be more than just Lizzie and I feeling this. There's a lot of messaging around this energy of the fire horse. And there is a lot of amazing energy that is supporting you this year. But understand the year of the fire horse is a very, uh, how do I say it? Energetic, powerful, very powerful energy. So with that powerful energy, it's going to catapult and push and and prod and get to those layers of things you might be avoiding and those layers of things that still need to be healed or shed from the year of the wooden snake. It's almost, you know, if you have something that is in your life and you tend to stay with it a lot longer than you are meant to, whether it be a job, a relationship, or a location, or a house, or a car, or even something non-physical, like a reaction or an emotion or things like that, and you live in it a lot longer than it is intended to. This year of the fire horse shines a mirror on you to have you move quickly. And that's where a lot of the discomfort can come from. So you can release the things that you might have been holding on to for a year or years or however long to finally step into your true essence. And these could be things you have no idea you've been subconsciously holding on to for a very long time. And I bring this up about the fire horse first before I dive into how I'm feeling and what my guides are saying, because the horse energy, yes, is beautiful. Yes. And the fire horse energy, I believe it's once every 60 years, right? It's this very eclectic, powerful energy of no bullshit, move forward, stop fooling yourself, get off your ass, go get it done. Enough's enough. Why are you still holding on to this? It's time to power through. The collective needs your power. That's the energy of this year. So you can imagine if you are in a place of uh the valley and the and just, you know, wobbling and not making decisions and not knowing if something is the right thing to do or not do, and not wanting to leave your job because of fear, your relationship because of fear, or you feel a pull to move to a different city, but you're scared, you don't know anyone there, all of these things. This is the year where, yes, the fire horse is going to give you that energy to move and to go towards your dreams, but it's also going to make you uncomfortable. My guides want to say outrageously uncomfortable. Uh, to make sure that you do release the things you're not supposed to have, so you can move into the lighter version of you. Because as we are moving into this new era, 3D, 5D, Age of Aquarius, whatever you want to call it, as we are moving into this new era, we cannot take baggage with us. We cannot take density with us. We are meant to be a light, we are meant to be light energy. So this density, this baggage that we are taking, my guys are showing me, it's like going on a Cessna. You're going on a Cessna, the prop, and they you have to tell the pilot how much you weigh, and then they weigh your bags to make sure everything is okay, right? So you can't bring 40 suitcases with you because that's not the plane's not going to be able to work because you also have other people on the plane as well, right? What an interesting metaphor. So this year it's about those little pieces maybe that you're avoiding, and you might be so uh unaware of it that the fire horse is gonna make you outrageously aware of it as well. It's gonna make work so uncomfortable that there's no question that you start applying other jobs or networking to leave. Like you felt a pull inside of you for a few years, but you just felt really comfortable and the pay's okay, and you know, the world's crazy, so I better stay here and the benefits are good, and I have so many friends looking for jobs now, and I don't want to be in that pool. I heard it's crazy, and all these, all of these things you can tell yourself, right? And that's just you telling your narrative through deductive reasoning of what you believe will happen to you, and that's not that's not what will happen at all, right? So the year of the fire horse is gonna make it so uncomfortable if there's something you haven't done that you've been putting off that work might deduct your pay, work might um say we're gonna keep all of you on, but you're all part-time now, or we're lowering our benefits, or we are doing XYZ, whatever it is, right? Like just enough to keep you there, but you start to lose different things. And I'm just giving this as an example. You your soul, your mind, body, soul start to have that synergy and realizing this is from survival, this is not from thrival. Myself staying here is from survival, which, yes, basic human needs. You need food, you need shelter, you need water, you need a place to live. You know, understood that you have to pay right now to live on planet Earth is not always gonna be how it is as we move into this new era where a lot of things are gonna become free as we move into this new era and the dark lifts. But as of right now, there are bills, there are mortgages, there are taxes, there are lots of things that you have to pay. Understood. But understanding and having hope and having trust, and then being in the energy of what that is to allow yourself to be open to something new, because 90% of healing is awareness. 90% of healing is awareness. I'll say that again. 90% of healing is awareness. So once you have the awareness of the wound of survival, staying in this job because of survival, the universe, God, they're like, okay, let's start. You know it's survival, you know you shouldn't be in survival, you know you should be in thrival and enjoy life and live your purpose and feel fulfilled. Let's start to move the energy in the other way. So you start to get that momentum, even when as soon as you have the awareness. So the energy of the fire horse is beautiful, but it's a ball buster and it is not gonna make things comfortable for you. Like growth is not comfortable, especially rapid growth. We are growing so fast on earth, we are moving energetically so fast, time is moving fast. Have you seen? Please tell me you've seen, or you can try for yourself. Have you seen the experiments where someone counts one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, and sees if it lines up with the clock? Because that's how we were taught, at least myself when I was in school in the 90s. That's what I was taught. That's how I was taught to count for a minute. And there's experiments that show that one Mississippi, two Mississippi ending at 45 seconds, ending at 50 seconds. So we're moving very, very fast. Things are moving fast. Things are moving very fast. So that means this year you're meant to step into your full essence of what that is. Feel the fear and do it anyway. That's a book. It's a book. I'll I'll I'll also put that in the show notes. Feel the fear and do it anyway. And also the mountain is you. If I if I'm gonna give you some book recommendations, the mountain is you and feel the fear and do it anyway. There is a lot happening this year from a collective standpoint and from your own healing standpoint. So if you feel uncomfortable right now, there's a reason for that. And we are in eclipse season. Now this starts to relax and settle mid-March, but there is a heavy energy of eclipse season which highlights and puts a spotlight on all of that that is in the dark that needs to be integrated, healed, and brought to the surface. We've talked about this before. As we move into this new era, anything that's not in the light and in integrity and in truth and in honesty and in love needs to be brought to the surface to be realized with awareness, either integrated with and healed, or released. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so it gets released and transmuted into light energy for someone else, right? So this right now, eclipse season, that also, in addition to the start of the fire horse, could be why you feel a little wobbly, why you feel a little things aren't really going my way. Why am I fighting with everyone? Why am I annoyed by everyone? Why am I not making the money that I want to make? Why is my job opportunities falling through? Why, you know, XYZ, name it, right? We are all humans. There's these core beliefs that all of us have about, you know, am I gonna have enough money? Am I gonna be loved? Am I gonna have a house? Like all these things, right? So this eclipse season is shining light on those things. It's it's almost like that final hurrah before we move into more and more of this ascension process. So we're moving and moving and moving 2020, year 2027 through 2030 are gonna be more of our years of fully integrating into this year, into this season of of uh love. Um the evil was brought to the surface, and we moved forward in unity with others to grow and um develop the new energy on Earth. So this eclipse season is also bringing up things from me, uh, things for me for shadows that are coming up that I thought I healed, little triggers that are coming up that I thought I healed as well. There are moments where I feel bliss, I feel really happy and elated. There are moments where I feel expansive, that I have a lot of time, and I can do the things that I really enjoy doing, like yoga, teaching yoga, taking yoga, meditation, reiki, walking outside, all of these things that I truly enjoy, you know, La Dolce Vita, um, romanticizing life, all of that. But there's definitely an essence of feeling uncomfortable. And I've been feeling that a lot the last few weeks of this weird feeling of feeling uncomfortable, where my energy and my type A part of me wants to move forward and do things and solve the puzzle and take action and go, go, go, go, go, and almost create useless noise and filler work because I feel I have downtime right now. And there's always seasons. There's seasons of being uh absurdly busy, and there's seasons of downtime. And right now I feel I'm in this season of downtime, and I feel that it is a gift before I'm put into service for the collective, for the next era of myself and of my soul here on earth and what I meant to birth and give to the world. And I'm almost treating this time from my egoic standpoint of you shouldn't feel this comfortable. You shouldn't feel like you don't have anything to do. You should, you should, you know, fill your space, do this, do that, fill your time, fill your time, do it all. Um, figure out something to do, pitch your businesses, uh, do this, do that, you know, what whatever it is, right? But looking back months ago, I created this time for myself. I strategically created this time so that I had a uh a time of peace without layering a million things because I've had conversations with people, I don't know, last year where they're like, What do you do? You do how many things? What do you juggle? Like they're astounded of how many things I juggle. And I'm still juggling those things, just not at a max capacity for each thing. And I have a lot of time within my day-to-day. And I know this time is a gift, but this has been one of my shadows that I am healing right now that I'm feeling uncomfortable with and uninspired. And I don't believe after Lizzie and I talked and I started to kind of tap in and look, I don't believe that I'm uninspired. I believe that I'm meant to have this spaciousness in my mind. This isn't a creation phase. This is my level set phase. This is my sit in the uncomfortable feeling, feel what comes up, learn from it. And if inspired action comes up, sure. If not, learn. There's been times in my life where my pattern is as soon as things get too hard, I take it as a sign that the universe, God, they're telling me, hey, this isn't for you, move on. So I would sever, cut the ties, and move into something else. And you know, that might work in some things, right? Moving into a different job where I started making like$30,000 more a year. I think there were times where that served me very well. But I believe there's a lot of times, maybe the scales are weighing more on the lot of times that it had me avoid healing and had me avoid looking at these parts of myself. And my guides have told me before, we aren't meant to heal constantly. If we are constantly trying to heal ourselves and excavate ourselves, we're we can be prone to chronic stress and disease and you know, age ourselves. And it's not a lot of benefit to continue to constantly excavate and excavate and excavate and try to find the shadows and the deepest realms of you and what is wrong with you. It's not how it's supposed to be. Life presents you with the triggers, and those triggers, if you f if you follow life and you don't live in your house, four walls, and you don't leave, you know, even if you just sit in your house, you you will still be triggered. We're we're humans. Life gives us the triggers. So we can explore the triggers as they come up, or we can commit to 24 hours a day, listening to self-help books, trying to figure out what's wrong with us, et cetera. And my guides have also equated that to, you know, when you're in medical school and you learn about a disease and you think you have a disease, that's what they, you know, compare this to. That you're so far down the rabbit hole trying to find everything wrong with you over and over and over again. You're like, oh, if I this is wrong with me too, and this is wrong with me too, and what's wrong? You know, I have this and I have that. And we're not meant to suffer all the time. We're actually, we actually came to Earth to have fun. Like that was what we we were like, yeah, hey, like I am here, I am ready for duty, I'm going to Earth during this ascension time. And I know to help Earth ascend that I uh need to be in my light and I need to be my purpose and I need to have fun to do that. And yeah, some bullshit's gonna come up and I'm gonna be triggered and I'm gonna heal that trigger and learn from it and move on. So I found that I had a pattern in the past where I would just sever things and move into something new. So right now in this season, and you might be feeling this too, it's not that I feel uninspired, it's that I feel uneasy with the breath of expansiveness and time that I have right now, that I feel I should be doing something additional. And then I try to tap in with my guides and my intuition and my channeling and ask, what should I be doing now? What should I be doing now? Tell me what to do, what am I doing now? I really don't get anything. I get, I get, no, you're doing good. Everything you're doing is doing good, you know. And a lot of what I get is get in nature, move your body, drink water, meditate. Uh, I'm working with the hypnotherapist now. Do your hypnotherapy things, like those things come up. It's a lot of my soul work comes up right now. And not what I would think if I tapped in my tangible, okay, um, find 50 businesses and pitch out to 50 businesses and then do follow-ups and then do this and then meet for networking coffee and follow up with this past lead and follow up with this person and go here to this resort and go here and pitch this. Even me talking about that makes my stomach feel uneasy. That's not the season that I'm in.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

So my season right now is feeling that that sense of awkwardness and weirdness because I am very go, go, go, fill my day. I teach yoga at 6 a.m. and then I work until 10 p.m. that night. Like there's a lot, like multiple different jobs, multiple different areas of my brain. I do my own workouts, I go on a run or a walk, and you know, I stack my day with a lot of things. And I am being asked now, which when I do tap in, I feel I'm being asked now to rest before the storm, but it's not really a storm in a bad way. To rest before the go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Whatever that might be in my next era that's coming up and that I'm leaning into and then I'm stepping into for that. So we talked about Fire Horse and how it makes you uncomfortable. We talked about eclipses. I talked about how I've been feeling. Another thing is the collective. Unless you live under a rock, you know that there is shit happening all over the world. And we are so interconnected, we know everything on every corner of every area of the world just by looking at even social media. You don't even have to look at the news, right? It just shows up. So another reason you could be feeling right now a sense of pain, despair, uneasiness, uninspired, uh, weirdness, just I said despair, hope, dislack of hope. You're picking up on the collective energy. And the collective energy right now, when I tap in, is that of uncertainty, but it's also of hope. So there is a layer in there, which is beautiful, of unity and of hope. It my guides show me, it's almost like, do you remember the show Home Improvement, where the one guy was on one side of the fence and Tim Allen was on the other side? What was the guy's name on the other? Nelson? No, what was his name? I forget. But you're my guys are showing me a fence and two people that are complete opposites for their world views, for their political views, for their religious views, everything, right? And my guys are showing me them tearing down the fence together, shaking each other's hands, and then like sitting in the middle and having like lunch or whatever it is. And that's the collective energy right now. So while it feels we moved away from the energy of waiting for the other shoe to drop. That was a collective energy we were in for a long time. And now we're in this energy of uncertainty. Like, what else is gonna happen? Like, very electric, very, very much like fired and wired. Imagine yourself having 10 shots of espresso in the morning with no water, and you are fired and wired and trying to figure out what's going on. You're talking really fast and you don't know what's happening in life and everything. That's that's part of the energy in the collective right now on Earth, which might also, you know, show and manifest itself physical in your body from anxiety, from heart palpitations, um, from fatigue because your adrenals are running so fast and you're picking up empathetically the adrenals and the energy from the collective. Uh, it can show up in restlessness, it can show up in waking up in the middle of the night, it can show up in depression, it can show up in despair, all of these things from a physical standpoint. But the the energy of the collective does have both sides, and it to me feels like we're like 60% of the unity with your neighbor feel of why have we been fighting for so long? Like it's the almost like the egoic um haze of comparison that we have within us of I'm better than you, I'm better than you, is starting to wean because that's not what the new era is in 3D, 5D change. And we're getting there through our small steps internally within ourselves of following our inner truth and following our purpose and feeling into our intuition and questioning different questioning things that come up to us and having discernment. A huge thing that my guides tell me is that discernment is your superpower. How amazing that you have this brain. And this brain can help you be on autopilot for the majority of your tasks throughout your day. So you don't have to consciously think about driving your car, consciously think about putting your right foot in front of your left, consciously think about how to pick up your phone and answer it. You have a lot of things on lock in terms of your autopilot, but that also can be autopilot for things that do not serve you and things that do not serve the collective and things that are not good for you, but they're just easier and it's just something that you grew up with and you've known it since you were seven, and you've you it's just part of your life, et cetera. So it takes a while to pull out of that, but awareness, 90% of healing is what it is, right? 90 awareness is 90% of healing. So once you are aware of that, the energy starts to back you to move forward. So I bring that up about the collective because there's a lot happening in the world right now. And it is, if you're an empath, really hard to stomach. Very emotional, very mind-boggling that things are going on or have happened in the world that we live in. When you consider yourself an ethical person of integrity and a person who lives in love and who has faith, whatever it might be, religious religion types, doesn't matter, whatever it is, you have faith, you have hope, and you want to feel these values within you of honesty and love and integrity and loving others and loving your neighbor, you know, all of these things. And you see what others have done or are doing, or just the state of the world, and it it can make you feel very uneasy. But this is also part of your healing journey as well. This can bring things up in you to help you heal parts of you, trauma within you that you might have pushed down to not fully look at because you haven't wanted to revisit something that happened or revisit an era, a time period of your life. And if you excavate and you find trauma that's very deep, I suggest working with someone to be alongside of you during that journey. But a big part of uneasiness you might feel right now is that energy around the world. So there is the collective energy of what's gonna happen, oh my gosh, uncertainty, but then also unity. That's what I get from my guides. And it's beautiful. It's beautiful to see the unity. And there's also, this is gonna sound silly, but there's also a layer of dry humor, which I love because I do love dry humor so much. Uh, but there's a layer of dry humor because on the other side, there's not pain, there's not anguish, there's not low density, there's like emotions in our soul, like, right? There's not all of that. On the other side, it's the light, and there's not things to worry about. So guides and ascended masters and what whatever you believe in on the other side have a lot of angels or, you know, whatever it is that you believe on the other side, have uh a lot of humor, a lot of dry humor. So that dry humor comes up. So I actually, my guys are showing me, you know, we have this unity of us, you know, understanding someone that's bothered us before and us coming to agreement or just enjoying each other's company out of nowhere. And what unify what unifies us is this uncertainty and chaos and the craziness that's happening in the world that we are unit united together saying, hey, that thing over there is crazy. And you both agree, that is really crazy. Wait, why have we not liked each other for 20 years? Wait, do you want to have a lemonade? You know, whatever. So that's what my guides are showing, that this collective energy right now has that balance. But if you feel tired, despair, et cetera, especially if you're an empath, that's what's going on right now within you. So you might not feel inspired. You might feel tired, you might feel that you need the rest, you might feel that you need a break, et cetera. Whatever it is that you need, honor your body, honor what your mind wants, what your body wants, what your soul wants in this moment. I'll tell you one thing, pretty sure you don't need more information because the information overload in this era is absolutely astonishing how much information we have at our fingertips just second we open our phone or we talk to someone. So it's really about coming back to yourself, coming back to your soul. You have all the answers within you. You have so much energy within you. You have the Akashic records, the wisdom within you, the Akash's file cabinets and file cabinets of your past lives, of your future lives, of everyone else's, of your lineage, of everything. It's all in there. You can tap into that just by being present, meditating, closing your eyes, asking to enter the Akashic records, asking for protection, et cetera, while you're there. You have the answers within you. So you don't need to keep seeking for information because you keep seeking and seeking and seeking. There's never a bottom of the rabbit hole. You're gonna keep going and going and going and just feel worse and worse and worse and worse. So my guides are also saying once you feel that weird pull in your energetic field, and you know what that is, if you're on social and you start to feel like the last few reels I watched made me feel kind of weird in my body. It's time to turn off. Time to turn off. You're on a different energy frequency. It's nothing but low vibration from there. It's not gonna make you feel good. So turn it off. So it's all about energetic hygiene at this point with the collective energy and everything that's going on right now. And how can you protect yourself? And we've talked about this before, Lizzie and I. Um, you know, taking showers at the end of your night, that's a huge way to release any energy from anyone that you had that entanglement with throughout the day, any um energetic debris that you picked up, etc. It's a practice that I love is showering at the end of the day before bed, because you are releasing anything from that day and it completely cleans and cleanses your aura. That's something you can do taking a bath in um, you know, like your salt bath kind of way. Like you can do a uh your Epsom salt bath to pull out any impurities. That helps as well. Going to a salt cave, if you have one of those near you, there are some spas here that have it, and I think it's between$20 and$40 for an hour or something like that. You can sit in the salt cave, which is also very good for sinuses and for allergies, but that also helps to um balance out the ions in your body so you feel inner peace and mineralize your body. It's a big through line through a lot of my channeling, a lot of my messages with clients and here on the podcast. We drink water that's been filtered, which is great, but we need the minerals in our water. We're missing iodine, we're missing sodium, we're missing magnesium, we're missing calcium. There's a lot of things that we're missing in our body and things that you can do to counteract that, or take sea kelp every day, or you can take a trace mineral, uh, you can add a pinch of salt, sea salt to your water, uh, or you can get a water filter that already has, you know, carbon minerals in it to mineralize the water as it purifies. Uh so I bring this up about the collective because there's a lot happening. I know, especially this podcast is releasing a few days after crazy things have been happening on the news. And your biggest job is to protect your own energy and to create your own inner peace and to follow your purpose, your passion, and your intuition. Because that raises the vibration. But one person in light, one person in the energy of gratitude and appreciation, one person in the energy of joy and glee and happiness is it equates to I want to say a hundred thousand is what's come through in my channeling, but it feels like it's more like 150,000 other people who aren't in that energy. So you can light up an entire stadium just by looking at your coffee mug and having appreciation in that moment. And that can help in this time and era when the collective energy is so dense and it seems juvenile almost, and it seems, you know, how is this gonna help? This is crazy, this is so silly. Why would I have gratitude for my coffee when there's issues happening around the world? That's what we are, that's what we are led to believe. But it's actually our inner peace that helps to create peace around the world. Mantra for you, your hands, right? Put your thumb against your pointer finger, peace, thumb against your middle finger, begins, thumb against your ring finger with thumb against your pinky, me. Peace begins with me. Peace begins with me. So I bring up that the collective energy to let you know, I see you, I know, I know that things aren't great. I know that, and I know, and we shouldn't be turning a blind eye, and it's not that we are being naive or anything like that. We do, we are meant to focus on ourselves and make sure we're lighting up ourselves. But that also might be why you feel inner chaos, uninspired, just just weird right now, even though we're in the year of the fire horse. We talked about how the year of the fire horse is going to be an ass kicker. We we talked about how we have eclipse season going on. We talked about the collective energy. So these three big things can be making this time right now an era for you that is different than what you might be seeing on social or through friends, et cetera, about the fire horse and the energy and the moving forward. Because all of our energy, as well, from astrology, from the exact time, place, location that we were born, we are all different too. And my guides also compare this to Dolores Cannon talking about the waves of volunteers. So there are waves of volunteers that she talks about through all of her hypnosis that she did and all of the guides and masters that she met. And the waves of volunteers came in in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, et cetera. And each wave has its own energy, you know, a foundational wave, an energy of um leading with love, an energy of questioning things, an energy of healing, et cetera. And my guides show me this: that it's very similar to where we are now, but similar in a way where we're all living in synergy, but we're all having different experiences. We're all having experiences that are uh different. So my experience of what I'm feeling right now of, you know, maybe expansiveness. I have a lot of time in my day. What do I do with it? I feel like I need to fill it as my type A wound, but no, I'm meant to just be in this uncomfortable feeling to prepare me for my next season. But my friend at yoga is, you know, got a new job and is excited about it. And um, and it came so easy. She got a referral, she didn't even have to interview, and it's double her pay, and you know, the you're the fire horse. It's totally serving her, and she's so excited. It doesn't mean one of us is better than the other. It means we're both on the correct wavelength for us to grow and evolve the collective together. Because music is music because there's multiple notes. Food is food because there's multiple spices and multiple flavors. So there's meant to be all of these different levels and layers as we're moving forward and we all have our own experiences and our own next level of what's going on within us. So I close this with a message from my guides for you in case you are going through this time of really not feeling what maybe social media is telling you you should be feeling about the fire horse and excitement and passion, and let's move, move, move, go, go, go. Um, so let's get a message from my guides for you to help you along this way. You can take a deep breath in and just relax. You're right on time. You're not missing anything, you're not losing anything. No decision is the wrong decision. Any decision that you make is the right decision. And if in your mind it's not the right decision, the right decision will present itself within 24 hours. So just let it go, let it flow, let it be. This is you being in your essence, just like when you were in school and one person was the shy person, one person was the extrovert, one person was the musician, one person was the playwright, one person was a cheerleader, one person was a softball player. Everything in the world has energy of different archetypes. You are not all meant to be the same. So you all have different energies happening, and that is a beautiful, beautiful thing. We know that it feels really good to be with someone that has the exact same blueprint of what's going on in their life and you in your life, and that you can kind of commiserate or talk to each other or feel like you're aligned. But honestly, the more depth and the more uh of being a human from a dynamic standpoint is expanding your network and expanding your group, it's your friend group, your family group, whatever it is, into those individuals that are having completely different experiences than you. So that you can learn from them, grow from them, laugh with them, cry with them, emote with them, all of those things. So that choice is yours, however you want to live your life, but know that you are not behind. You are exactly where you are meant to be. You are living, breathing proof that magic exists in this world. So enjoy the journey. Enjoy the journey. Romanticize life, enjoy the journey. You are not trying hard to get to that next point. Instead, enjoy the journey to get there because that is what you will look back on at the end of your life and see that you never enjoyed the journey. You kept trying to get to the next and next and next. So that's why we say romanticize life because that is going to help you slow down and enjoy the little things in life where you enjoy the ups, the downs, the in-between, the lulls, the restlessness, the inner peace, the inner struggle, all of those things. Enjoy the journey. We send you peace, we send you love, we send you blessings, and we send you light.
