Heavenly Human
Welcome to the Heavenly Human podcast where we help you pause and pivot toward true fulfillment.
Have you ever felt that stirring deep inside — that quiet voice telling you there's something more for your life? That feeling that despite all your success, something still feels missing?
We’ve been there. We are you. Three years ago, co-host Laura King was at the peak of her career as an Executive Recruiter. On paper, she had it all. Awards, accolades, and a healthy bank account. But each night, she’d come home feeling slightly off, a bit disconnected, and wondering, "Is this it?"
In 2023, it all came crashing down with a triple diagnosis - severe anxiety, ADHD, and sleep issues. Her body was screaming what her heart had been whispering for years. There was another path. There was another way of being.
Co-host Mondo experienced a similar calling. Three years ago, he was living what many would consider the dream — a successful startup founder with a six-figure lifestyle. Then, his heart called him to something radical: surrendering 99% of his material possessions to pursue a completely different path.
What Laura and Mondo both discovered through deep conversations, healing, tears, breakthroughs, and countless moments of growth was that we were being called to our unique sliver of Heaven on Earth — what we now call, Heavenly Human.
We've now joined forces to create this podcast, sharing what we've learned with other believers who feel that same nudge toward something more meaningful. We're here to guide you toward fulfillment through the embodiment of heaven on earth.
Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom, Abundance.
It’s all waiting for you.
"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Heavenly Human
Your Inner Courage Creates The Outer Breakthrough
Fulfillment isn't something that happens to you—it's something you cultivate through courage and authenticity. Mondo and Laura King dive deep into what true fulfillment actually feels like and how to recognize when you're living at 97% of your potential rather than fully stepping into your divine purpose.
Laura shares her powerful story of breaking through fear to have a courageous conversation with her employer about her calling. What she discovered changed everything: "It was only me that saw myself small." This revelation led to a complete shift in how she shows up in the world—with childlike joy, authenticity, and a magnetic energy that transforms rooms.
The duo explores practical mindset techniques like Laura's "fly swatter" method for dealing with negative thoughts. When we catch ourselves thinking disempowering thoughts like "this is so hard," we can physically act out swatting them away and replace them with more compassionate perspectives: "This is just a season."
Most compelling is the conversation about awakening to who we truly are—eternal spirits having a human experience. This perspective shift allows us to experience life with heightened awareness and appreciation, from the vibrant colors of a sunset to the richness of flavors in our food. We're not just going through motions; we're alive to feel and experience everything this world offers.
For those feeling called to make changes but worried about practical concerns like finances, Laura offers hope through her own story of surrender and trust. When she finally released her grip on how things "should" work out, unexpected provision appeared.
Whether you're questioning your current path, feeling stuck in negative thought patterns, or simply curious about living with more intention and joy, this episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for becoming a truly heavenly human.

What we are back at it. Welcome to the Heavenly Human Podcast, where we help you find fulfillment what Fulfillment. My name is Ara Mondo, but you can call me Mondo, and now I have tag teamed up with one of my dearest friends, my partner in divine not crime goodness, miss Laura King. Laura, welcome welcome.
Speaker 2:Oh, what a delight, mondo, what a delight this is.
Speaker 1:this is a. This is a divine timing moment. I, if you're just tuning in, if this is your first podcast, you might want to at least go back one episode, to episode zero, when Laura and I were like you know what we should try out a podcast together. And that episode highlights that, where Laura tells this epic story of her journey and sprinkles how she broke through to hit that next level, and it just feels so good. There's so much energy, there's so much depth there. But fast forward, god called us to come back together again, and so I just have to ask you, laura, just today, like what's on your heart, what's on your spirit? How are you feeling?
Speaker 2:I feel like I'm just giddy with excitement. It's just this energy of I've got so much to give. Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2:And I just feel so on purpose.
Speaker 1:So one of the things that Laura and I have been, I guess, volleying back and forth, like we're stepping into this podcast, but we have to have some type of reason, some type of purpose, like what are we actually trying to add value to? Like we're trying to help humans get where or do what, and one of the words that really hit us was fulfillment, this idea of fulfillment. And so, laura, the first thing I'll ask you is like what does fulfillment mean to you?
Speaker 2:Fulfillment is inner peace. Fulfillment is leading with your heart instead of your head. Fulfillment is those moments where you're like, yep, this is who I've been created to be. It's the process of becoming be?
Speaker 1:It's the process of becoming. Would you say that you felt fulfilled for a long time or you knew to this fulfilling type of energy, like, was there a certain intersection? Do you wake up feeling fulfilled every day now? Like what? What is that? It is a process of allowing.
Speaker 2:Like what? What is that? It is a process of allowing it is. I was definitely fulfilled in parts of my life. I would go through the motions a lot, though, and tell my I would tell myself that I was fulfilled, but now that I'm on this side and looking at my life, that is just so in flow that there is a higher or more peak level to fulfillment.
Speaker 1:Well, look, so she just sprinkled in that word peak, which is key to Laura's journey. So let's catch people up, because when we had our last conversation in September, your life looked a certain kind of way, and today it looks a little bit different. And so can you wrap us into this peak thing that's just in your spirit these days?
Speaker 2:Tell us about this, oh, my gosh, I am just like bursting to share that it's living with such courage to be yourself, and we'll look at even just the makeup of my day. I had the courage to share with my employer where I felt led and called, and I was met with overwhelming support. And so I felt like in the past. I had to hide pieces of me, and whether I needed someone to give me permission or truly, the only person's permission I needed was my own, allowing the spirit to guide everything, everything. And so when I'm feeling stuck, I'm letting a bigger part of me direct my next move, and so it's so interesting to move from this game of logic to this game of I'm calling it flow and really letting my intuition guide what the next right move of integrity is.
Speaker 1:Ooh, right move of integrity. I love the word integrity, by the way, but let's go a little bit deeper into what you just kind of highlighted, because it's bigger than you kind of set it up, I think. So you having this conversation, this courageous conversation because there's something about courage that helps with this breakthrough so can you kind of bring us in a little bit deeper? How are you feeling having this conversation? How challenging was it? Did you have to convince yourself to do it? What fears did you have? Because a lot went into you taking that step forward and it may have took a second for you to get there, but once you had it, how did you feel?
Speaker 2:I asked a lot of questions. I still have this visual of me driving down the highway on 494, cranking up my Christian music, losing myself in losing myself in the spirit and just feeling so connected with God, like I know you're not going to let like you got me. You got me, but I had so much fear and anxiety leading up to this. But this has been coming for a long time. It had been coming for a long time because I felt these pangs of like you're not doing what I want you to be doing, laura. Yeah, and now I'm like doing what I'm supposed to be doing, in that I am using my gifts in true service of others. Gifts in true service of others and the results that are happening in their lives are truly astounding.
Speaker 2:Some of my clients are starting businesses. One left a relationship that wasn't serving her and now is flourishing. She's got a new space, she's got a new job, she's got a new car. The external results of me pouring into my clients and not just pouring in but asking them really hard truths and for them to get in touch with themselves is what I meant to do and stories from others that we are helping with the intention of allowing you listener to live your most fulfilled life. Because did we really come here to suffer? Does that sound like any fun?
Speaker 1:Right, right, there is. There's so much Love in what you just said that I want to circle back a little bit, just in case the listener, whoever you are, if you missed it there is a point in your journey where you are doing things that almost feel like you're at peak potential, but you know something is missing. It might be 92%, 97%, it might be 99.9%, but you know this one piece is missing from the puzzle. We all have this feeling. Eventually we we reach this intersection where we're supposed to break through to something else. If you are at that point in your journey, you are not alone.
Speaker 1:Laura is just highlighting many ways that she broke through in her journey when she reached her intersection. One of those breakthroughs was having a courageous conversation with an amazing employer that is fully supportive, but she had a little fear on like saying the thing out loud that she actually needed to say. That was just on her heart. So what I heard Laura say is I was, I was called to do something more or do something different to get in full, 100%, complete alignment with my peak self.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:And the thing that I had to do scared me and I had to find the courage and the resilience to go face this fear. And you did. After you did that, then what Like? What happened? What? How did you? Did you celebrate?
Speaker 2:Oh yes, oh yes, because I realized, all this time, mondo, I had been looking at myself very small, the doubt, the anxiety, the less than all of these things that have haunted me most of my life.
Speaker 1:In that moment I realized that they saw me as big. It was only me that saw myself small. Is we are looking at our situation or the broader world with these certain type of goggles on that aren't. It's not 20-20 vision right, it's slightly off, but when we go do the courageous thing, when we face the fear like that what do I want to call it? That fog is removed and when we look in the mirror, we're able to see our true selves, and that's what I'm hearing you say. It's like once I went and had this courageous conversation. It was as if God removed the fog and I was able to see my full self, I was able to see.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, I was able to fully see.
Speaker 1:And so, if you're listening to this, this is this is so important. When I think about, one of the most important things that you should consider leaning into is, when you face your fears, God removes some blinders from your peripheral. You are able to see yourself in this divine light that you just couldn't see before. And it's not. It's not even. It's not bad, right. I saw myself as super cool, and then God was like I challenge you to do this thing that you're super scared to do. And then I did it and I was like, oh, you're even cooler than you thought. You were Right, and it's not like egotistical me saying that, it's just, I already thought I had it, but God was like you don't have it all the way. There's always more, and so, whoever you are, wherever you're at, there is more. If you feel like there is more, there is, just go, do the thing.
Speaker 2:And this is so critical because I am so lucky to talk to so many people for a living. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that you are not alone in this. One of my gifts is allowing people to open up, so I become just authentic me right away, and they show me their authentic self, and so I learn a lot about someone in a short period of time, more than maybe a typical human, and everyone thinks they're the only one.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I'm here to say this is universal, yeah, that we all have these fears, and many times they're illusions, and when you face it, there is a blessing and that blessing is exactly what Mondo said in being able to see things from a different perspective and, more importantly, see yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:How many times do you see someone else's potential and you speak into them? Yeah, they see that in you and you dismiss it Story of my life Until now. But I actually I'm like, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's go time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. One of the words that's hitting me right now is authenticity, and so it sounds like this peak version of Laura is the most authentic version of you, and I imagine that when this authentic version of you shows up into spaces, other people just recognize it, they just feel it. Can you speak to that?
Speaker 2:It's, and I think it's just operating at a different frequency, or just. I now realize that I can influence a room, not for evil but for good, like I can walk into a room and change the energy of that room. But it's not like I'm pretending to be something else, I'm goofy, I'm kind of weird, like I I tell my boys this all the time Just be weird, Just be weird, just be weird. Goofy, and I almost think that I go around now with the playlike nature of a child.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. I remember I was having a conversation with one of my spiritual buddies and he was like yeah, mondo, one of the one of the key attributes of Like finding that divine essence is going back to your kid self, and so hearing you say I'm pretty much a kid self in an adult body all day, it reminds me of the movie Big with Tom Hanks back in the day or like Elf with Will Ferrell, Like you're just showing up, just you're disrupting the system with goodness and love and that infectious energy has other people being like yeah, I want some of that.
Speaker 2:I tested it at the gym the other day, because I sometimes just decide I have a video I'm watching to do some different moves, but then I just decided to do my own and I just was kind of dancing and doing all these. This guy on the treadmill he got off the treadmill and he came over to me he said ma'am, I just want to tell you that you look like you're having a lot of fun and that's really cool to see. And it made me think I'm going to get off the treadmill and I'm going to go do something else right now, Cause I'm going to do something that's more fun.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, yeah, that that that one of the things that I believe, as humans, we want to do is we want to positively impact other humans with our gifts, whatever that is One of the things that we can do is we can just show up as love and because we are love, we are impacting the other, because we're just showing up with our authentically full, loving self and they're just like, yeah, that changed my day, like you just did with that person, but do you also realize the gift in that is?
Speaker 2:it comes right back to you that when you emanate love everywhere you go and you know I do it all the time at supermarket or I just I'm like I see someone who looks down and I'm like I'm sending you love in my, in my head, who looks down and like I'm sending you love.
Speaker 1:In my head I just bless them, but I'm the one that gets blessed, yeah, yeah, let's go there a little bit deeper. Then you consciously, even if you don't say it out loud, you are sending good energy and just good thoughts to others loud. You are sending good energy and just good thoughts to others. So just talk about that practice of just always practicing this positive mind, positive like your whole essence is positive. Has that always been a thing, or did you have to learn that? Did you have to nurture that like help somebody that may be working through that understand maybe?
Speaker 2:it's something that you've done to like get there yeah, it's a, it's a spiritual gift and it needed to be practiced and intentionally honed in. And and I I'm also, for the record, not positive all the time. I'm also very human but I realized that my energy and my positivity is really one of my biggest gifts that I can impart on others and I sense I have this ability to sense when someone's going through something, whether they're with me or not physically with me, and sometimes, actually a lot of times, I send people voice memos and it's so cool. To Several times it's just been because I've been obedient and acting in the moment when someone was on my spirit and I sent something. They were like Laura, you had no idea how much I needed that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:How much I needed that. Yeah, how much I needed that. And so it's been a practice of me trusting myself because I would feel silly doing this. I'm like what I don't know. I've met you twice. Now I'm going to send you a voice memo, cool. But I've practiced this enough times. I've done the reps that I don't even think twice.
Speaker 2:And so, perfect example, a woman who I've met once.
Speaker 2:We were supposed to meet again and I wasn't able to make it and I said, oh, I'm going on spring break, but I could meet with you these other times.
Speaker 2:And she sent me back an email that basically, she just poured out all the things like what she's going through, like in very big detail, and I was like, whoa, I can't detail. And I was like whoa, I can't. I mean, first of all, I'm like, wow, she feels comfortable enough to share this with me. And her phone number was on the bottom of the email and so I programmed it in my phone and I sent her this essentially prayer and the response back just brought me to tears because I helped her heal Not all the way, but I helped her. And this was someone who I barely know, and this was someone who I barely know and the amount of love that I felt while delivering that message and the amount of love I received in getting her text message five days later saying she choked up, she couldn't make it through the whole audio message, but she kept doing it every day that there's no amount of money.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That that is fulfillment for me, like when my heart is just. It feels like it's going to burst because I've been obedient and using my gifts to serve.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, one of the things that we were talking about before this podcast started. We were talking about, yes, jesus healed others through these miraculous moments, but many of the things that he said was what transcended time. And so, to your point, you said these words that completely changed the trajectory of that person's life in that moment. Life in that moment, and all you did not as if it was insignificant, but all you did was string together the right words that came from a place of love. The reason why I'm emphasizing that is because we can all do that.
Speaker 1:It is purely a choice to have this feeling like, hey, that cousin that I haven't talked to in a long time, or my mom or dad, or a person that is kind of like my enemy, and every time we see each other, we avoid each other in the room, right, like I'm just going to send them a voice message or a text or an email or write them a letter, and just doing it out of a place of love and not having any expectation of how they are going to respond, just knowing that that is for you, it's for you to do for your own breakthrough, and after you do it, things just start to happen for you differently when you continue to, as you said, put in more reps with that type of behavior, yep, it's like, oh, I haven't worked that muscle.
Speaker 1:It's like you're not going to get abs unless you work on your core, and so, in the same way, you're not going to get the blessings if you're not working on certain blessings of others. Right, and so that was just so, that was just so profound kind of how you laid that out and you, just you went to a place where you said the right words that changed that added value, right and it's, and, like you said, you didn't heal her.
Speaker 2:No but.
Speaker 1:But it's what she needed in that moment, and so I feel like we all have a piece that we can add to another that can help them through a moment. It can help them pause and pivot and appreciate like man, like that was. Those words were so good and probably seven years later they're going to be in position to then share a word with somebody who is also struggling Because they're like. I remember when Laura said this thing to me.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:At this time. It's my turn now, and so yeah, and it's.
Speaker 2:Is that leadership?
Speaker 1:Is that leadership? It's a good question. Is that leadership? So my question back would be where are we leading people to Right? Because most of the time it's like leadership of a business or leadership of a team, or, and so are we just leading as caring, loving humans, like? Is that what we're actually called to do? Is that the most fulfilling thing? We're like? We're leading as heavenly humans, and that might be what what we're edging towards on this podcast. Where you have your life, you have the thing that you do as an occupation, or you're a parent, like, you're all these things, you have all these things tied to your identity, but just as a human, like in your relationship with God, are you leading and doing the thing to help heal others or to pour love into others? And I think what you're saying is the more reps that you do in that space, the more fulfilled you actually feel, and so I don't know.
Speaker 2:The. I think that I don't know if this is true, but what came to my spirit was like leadership is pointing back to yourself. There's nothing outside of you that's going to make you whole and complete. It's all in you. And so all these leaders are like follow me, Only me, I have the answers for you. Like no, because only I have the answers for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it reminds me of, like that, striving for the external thing, right.
Speaker 1:Like where are we actually going? Do you so in your journey? You talked about it in our episode zero. You talked about being a high performer 900K for your company that you're working for, and then in that season, things change. But if you compare that 900K lifestyle not that you had 900K in the bank, I don't want to say that, but that 900K high performing executive lifestyle, whatever you were living, the things that you were doing, the things that you were thinking about, the stress that you may or may not have had, how do you compare that to this fulfillment that you have now?
Speaker 2:I am so much more present. I think about how many times I told my kids oh, mom's got to work, I got to do this other thing, I got to do this other thing. I wasn't with them. I wasn't with them. I just think about my life now is I am so filled up in living in the present moment. I don't worry about the future like I used to. I don't dwell on past situations. I think about I would spend so much time thinking about what my clients thought about me. I would ruminate and ruminate. Oh, I said this in the meeting. I wonder, oh, I should have said that. Oh, I wonder if this colleague thinks I'm weird how much time I lost to amazing memories I could have been making with my kids because my mind was somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That doesn't happen anymore, and when it does, I've got my fly swatter.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, let's talk about the fly swatter, because that is a Laura specialty.
Speaker 2:Okay. So if you're a coaching client, you know this. But whenever a thought comes up like it goes here's the thought, here's the thought. I want you to grab your fly swatter and.
Speaker 2:I want you to whack that thought with all of your might. If you could see me now. I'm just like and you really get your body into it right, really get your physiology, because you're like this is not how we think anymore. This is not how we think anymore. And what I'm really good at is listening to people's words, because it starts as a thought and then it comes out as words and a real life example we heard today no, a couple of days ago a woman say nine times in a row this is so hard, this is so hard, this is so hard, this is so hard.
Speaker 2:And I had later an opportunity to point this out with love. That that's your invitation. That's your invitation to evolve, because what's coming out of your mouth started as a thought that this is so hard, and then that perpetuates, and so we get to choose. And so what is a more loving thought? And you might not believe this yet, so maybe choose something that you can believe. It might be hard right now, but this is not going to last forever. This is just a season. Oh, I like that thought better than this is so hard, this is so hard, this is so hard. And this is the work. This truly is the work is how can I reprogram my thoughts, that turn into my words, that turn into my behaviors, my actions and my external reality?
Speaker 1:Um, if you are sitting down right now, I need you to just raise up your right hand and then, like, drop the mic. You know that that was, that was a mic drop moment. Uh, so the reason why I said raise your hand and drop the mic is because that is your invitation to start changing your behavior, right, like what Laura just said is a strategy that she offers others to start changing their mindset. But what she said feels odd or feels weird or like why would I do that? Right, it doesn't necessarily have to be that, but you have to be open enough to start doing things that's outside of your norm. And so me saying raise your hand and do a mic drop right now is literally a call to action. Like, oh yeah, that was a bar, laura mic drop.
Speaker 1:And your body now is just like oh okay, I'm willing to do something a little different, a little goofy, just because I'm listening to a podcast and they said just do this thing right now, just to opt in. And so, whatever the things are for you, whatever you come up with, right, whatever strategy you're just like, you know, every time I have a thought that I don't like, I'm going to get down and do two pushups Right, like if that's it cool, but then just commit to that and eventually you're going to be like I'm getting buff, I'm getting real buff.
Speaker 2:Also, I want to give the moms out there something else. Okay, so I've dealt with a lot of rage because that's just been part of stuff that's been handed down to me, and so why do you think God gave me four boys? We are solving this rage thing in this generation.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So whenever I feel the rage coming up in my body, I'm like, oh, that means I'm supposed to dance it out, and so I turned it into dance. So, like the rage comes up and rather than it like me like terrorizing, I'm like, ah right, I'm like oh, I, usually it's what you used to. I want to dance with somebody. And this is why I say authenticity wins, because being weird is so cool oh man, well, if, if, if, you knew how my brain worked.
Speaker 1:I think a lot about superheroes. And so, as I thought about your rage, I'm thinking about you turning into this green hawk and then, right when you get to this hawk peak, you just start dancing think of them the hulk dancing or like doing like the macarena, right, right it's just like that's definitely going to bring that rage down, because, one, it's going to be fun, especially if you'd like to dance, and two, like just the goofiness, it just it's infectious, yeah, in a good way yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Um, one of the things about kind of like changing your mind or changing your belief is this this idea of awakening. Do you one like how do you define that word? How do you define awakening?
Speaker 2:I don't think anyone's ever actually asked me that. Oh okay, how do I define awakening? Awakening is coming into the awareness of who you really are, which I know is you're not just this human body. That you are an eternal spirit, eternal, infinite, limitless, and you're hanging out in a human body playing this game.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay. So you are hanging out in this human body, this eternal experience, and you're just like, yeah, I'm going to go play human real quick. And so we go play human. And so we're here playing human human real quick. And so we go play human. And so we're here playing human. What is, what is your purpose playing human today? What?
Speaker 2:does Laura feel like is her purpose as an awakened human To experience the joys, like all that this has to offer? Think about using our senses. I mean the way that I look at a sunset now it literally takes my breath away. And I'm like boys, do you see the sunset? And I'm like, look at all the different shades of the clouds. They're like cool, mom, awesome. And I'm just obsessed with this. I mean, I think about the richness of even how I can taste my food. Right, I used to just shove stuff in and like on the go. We are allowed to experience all that this beautiful earth has to offer us and we get to be a part in deciding how we want to feel, how we want this to go. And that's like it's the unfolding, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, this, uh, this word feeling is, so I embrace it now more than I used to, because when I think about all this AI stuff right and we're creating these I don't know what you want to call them these intellectual things, language models and all this stuff, and I'm like man, but they don't fully have the ability to feel.
Speaker 1:We do, which is a gift, right. And since we have this extra layer, this ability to feel, let's start taking advantage of choosing how we want to feel. And so when you're saying, like yo, I want to go watch this sunset because the feeling of it brings me so much peace and joy and fulfillment, like you're choosing to embark on journeys and choices, that's going to help you feel that way. And so what I hear Laura saying is take control of the things that make you feel a certain kind of way, and if you no longer want to feel those things and you want to feel something different, let's start making new choices, start changing our minds so we can start feeling differently, because filling is the gift right, you know how we're shifting to our spending behavior and it's more on experiences instead of stuff.
Speaker 2:This is the yes, we came here to experience and I think about all the time. This is the yes, we came here to experience and I think about all the time. I don't really do it much anymore, but I would just sit and watch TV, Like, yeah, okay, there's a time and place for that, but like, let's go experience life. Yeah, you know, I convinced my husband to go take a dance class with me the other day. That was a really fun experience.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Right Like, come alive again, feel the day again, embrace these gifts that we've been given and I think that that's because I've been so in corporate America. I just look at so many people and I just want them to feel the day again.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So these things that we're talking about fulfillment and experiencing life and starting to change your mind, to just be a heavenly human right To love this experience more than you're loving it right now Laura and I would love to add value in as many positive ways as we can and we're going to have conversations, but one of the things we are looking for is, like yo submit certain questions right, like like ask us to talk about certain topics so we can go deep on those topics, because one of the things that Laura and I believe is, the more authentic we are right, the more freedom and space we give for other people to have the confidence to also be authentic, to also share their truth, and so there are going to be some, some questions that you ask that you're like, you know nobody is answering this question, nobody's talking about this topic, and I would really like some support in this.
Speaker 1:We're open to have those conversations back and forth because I believe for the most part we've escaped caring about being judged by others and so we'll say the things out loud to like start to mature that conversation so more of us are having it. So if you have any topics, ideas, things you are navigating here, like I really want some help with that, you know, drop it in an email or text this podcast because you can do that right in the podcasting app.
Speaker 2:Uh, things that you disagree with too. I mean, I think what I, what is coming up for me now, is there probably a lot of people, um, and their ego is saying must be nice to be you, must be nice to be, mondo, you know, you have it all figured out? Oh, please, let me tell you that is not the case. Like I have been the breadwinner in my household, my husband left corporate America and opened a music school, so we have a lot of debt. And this is what's held me back for so long is because, okay, yes, we can make certain lifestyle adjustments Absolutely. Okay, yes, we can make certain lifestyle adjustments Absolutely, but there was still this number hanging over my head. This number hanging over my head how God am I supposed to make this kind of money doing the work you want me to do? I don't know. I don't know. And the story I told myself is there's not a way, there's not a way. And I sat in that for way too long, and that was part of my unhappiness and my uneasiness is because the story I told myself was it wasn't possible.
Speaker 2:And then something lifted last spring. No, no fall, it was last fall, where I heard it's like Laura, would you just trust me, would you just trust me? And a series of events unfolded that just blew my mind. And the money came and Brian was like Laura, I don't feel comfortable you doing anything until we have like six months of income built up. And you know we got four kids and we, you know we've got all these things.
Speaker 2:And then God just provided, he did, he provided and he wants you to do the thing that's in your heart, the thing that, like you, sing for, that makes your soul sing. And I know you might be like again sort of, yeah, laura, that must be nice, right? I believe wholeheartedly that this is the exact opportunity that you have when you believe it's possible and tell me it took me a long time to believe it was possible. So I get that. I get that. You can sit in there like I don't know how this is going to. But when you finally surrender and say, okay, god, show me, I'm listening, prepare to be amazed.
