Hello and welcome back to the Nourished Living Podcast. I am your host Courtney Podany, and we are in for such a treat today. I have a friend joining us who is. Also Courtney. And Courtney is an intuitive guide and master of manifestation known for blending cosmic wisdom with soul led strategy through tarot and astrology. She helps people activate their power and build lives their wildly in love with. Sounds amazing. Right. Welcome, Courtney. Thank you for being here. Yes, thank you for having me. It's. Funny. I keep forgetting that both of our names are Courtney.'cause I sometimes forget, my name is Courtney. So when you were like Courtney, I was like, wait, which one? Right. I know. So we actually go way back I think we worked at Crunch Fitness together in 2016. So it's almost been a decade. Yeah. I know I was thinking about that. I was like, where, which crunch did we work at? Because I worked at so many. Um, but it was Black Hawk, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. They're actually just opening a crunch in Tracy in like two months. I'm like, oh, my old Is that where you live? Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. Uh, so I would love to hear how you got into this work. Have you felt a strong spiritual pull throughout your whole life? Or is this something that developed recently? Um, so I would say that I felt a strong spiritual pull my entire life. But the thing is, I don't think I understood that that's what it was. Like. I would say that I underst understood what I was working with around 21 years old, but as a kid I was. I was super spiritual. Like my mom found a letter, um, and she didn't know who wrote it, but it was me like talking to God or Jesus or something like asking God to like, make my older brother get along with me better. So I've always had this like connection to asking for this higher power to assist and. I also had this, I, I had this inner knowing, and I think a lot of people might have it or maybe not, but I had this inner knowing that I could co-create my reality. Like I remember just always knowing that as a kid and it didn't look exactly like manifesting except for it did, because when you're manifesting, they say act as if, right? So if you're writing something down, you say, I have a million dollars in my bank account. Well, I would just lie to people. I would tell people that like if I liked your shirt, I'd be like, oh my gosh, I have that shirt. And what was crazy is the shirt would appear like my grandma would buy it for me or something. So I would play with the universe. I remember like maybe seven or eight years old where I would sometimes say, okay, if I say this isn't going to happen, it will happen. So I would like reverse psychology of the universe. Mm-hmm. Which it would still happen. So I, I knew that I could, I knew I had some type of control. I knew that I wasn't, um, just at the whims of fate in that like, you know, my destiny was pre-written, but around 21, I mean, I had my son really young, so I think this really opened me up. I. I'm sure a lot of moms can feel a sense of connection to something bigger than themselves after bringing in such amazing love. And, um, so because I had my son really young, I think I was really sensitive and tapped in and I started trying to understand myself and, I got really into astrology and the law of attraction at 21. And through going through a couple dark nights of the Soul, I got a couple tarot readings, realized that, um, being a person who asked God for my brother to get along with me, I'm gonna need my tarot cards involved with every ounce of my life. And, that's how it all unfolded. I don't know. That's it. Just pretty much one thing led to the next and I bought my first tarot deck and I didn't even know how to read tarot. And somebody was booking a reading from LA and I was in Crunch Fitness Group, fitness room with my phone propped up on a foam roller. Oh my gosh. Um, helping, helping a woman on IVF get pregnant. She'd been on IVF for eight years and. That was my first reading and she has two babies now. So, um, it was just kind of like some things, I don't know if you have control over. I think that was gonna happen no matter what. Um,'cause I definitely didn't manifest that client. I was scared. I was reading from the book, reading her tarot cards, but that's how it all happened. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I got chills when you said that about helping that first client. Dang. But I totally, um, relate to after you have kids, you know, I kind of went into this like inner questioning, right? Because I wanted to understand myself better and like what? Values. I wanted to then teach my kids what I didn't want to and just, yeah, to understand myself better. So it's opened up this whole journey that I was not prepared for. I'm like, yeah, I'm just gonna have these kids and then focus on them, and then all this stuff is happening to me. And I'm like, wait, hold on. I don't wanna do that. They definitely put you through a rebirth, right? Like it's not just. Them being born, it's also you. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And people need to know about that. I know nobody, nobody warns you. Right? You just get the book for like, okay, this is how you swaddle and whatever. But, uh, so many people think of tarot as just kind of predicting the future, but you really approach it. Deep intuitive way. Can you walk us through how you use tarot for personal growth? Yes, for sure. So, I mean, tarot is just gonna tell you a lot of people. I think that's the miss. Comprehension around tarot is like, you know, you see it in horror movies or you've been told by religious structures that you shouldn't use any other tool. So tarot falls into it, right? And all tarot is actually doing, is showing you the energy that you're currently projecting, right? So yes, that's how you can tell a future is because, hey, if you keep doing this. This is where you head. However, I can look at your cards and say, well, if you turn left, here you are. And so really, tarot is a tool to understand. What your body is kind of regulated at, right? Like are you regulated in lack? Are you regulated in growth? Do you have limiting beliefs that literally are sabotaging you? And I can see that and I can literally rewire your brain just from looking at a tarot card. If you work with me enough and you're willing to do the work. So tarot isn't so much as reading the future as it is course correcting. Just think of, um, you know, your best friend knows everything about you, but she doesn't know the inner thoughts. And so like, she doesn't know that you're, you're like, oh my God, I'm buying a house. I'm so excited. She doesn't know that You're also sitting there going, oh my gosh. What if I lose everything? You know? And, and, and tarot can show you that. And sometimes you don't even know you're doing it right, because if you're not conscious of the thoughts going on in your head, which I'm gonna be honest about, 98% of people don't have they're not cognizant of what they're thinking. On a day-to-day basis, that's where the work, they're act, subconsciously co-creating a negative reality. So tarot, all I do is say, Hey, this is what you're embodying right now and here's how we get to where you wanna be. Right. And, um, I would say that's the, the only reason why I use it. I'm not really, if there was a future just planned out for me, cool, what am I gonna do? Like, I don't need to look, but the fact that I can co-create is why I'm gonna look, because I need to know that. You know, when I'm writing down a manifestation or when I'm wanting something bigger, I'm not self-sabotaging on the backend. You know, and that's what a lot of us do, like, let's say we wanna have a successful podcast, so we have this higher version of us that's like, I'm gonna do this, and then there's this, there's this voice in the back of the head, like, who's gonna listen? And, and Tarots just gonna get rid of that imposter syndrome and get rid of that naysayer that's in the back of your head that. It's not even yours. It was something that you accidentally, that latched onto you from one situation in your childhood. And I can even see that in tarot. Mm-hmm. So it's all about energy, right? Yes. And in the most previous episode of my podcast, I talk about how that's why the quality of our food is really important too, because it can affect our energy and especially when we eat animals and stuff, we take on the energy from that animal. So we want it to be raised in a humane, nice environment, so it wasn't under stress and whatnot. So, in addition to food, are there other things about our lives that can affect our energy? Oh yeah. So just like you said, like, okay, let's say you're eating an animal that, um, was inhumanely raised, right? You're taking on the stress, the cortisol levels, your environment is gonna be so key and so crucial. And that's why they say you take on the energy of the top five people, you hang around. And um, so it's because on accident we don't know how to guard our energy, so we absorb, right? So it's funny, like I am. Putting an offer in on a house as we speak. And it's the only reason why I decided to do it was because like 20 of my clients are doing it. So I was like, that means I can do it too. And then outta nowhere it happened, right? So your environment is showing you constantly what's possible for you and it's also showing you constantly what needs to go. Um, so having. A force field around you. Sometimes there's nothing you can do. Sometimes your soulmate is going to be a negative Nancy, and you know what? You, you came here to deal with that, but you have to put a force field around yourself and have a belief system. Um, I also think that movement is so important. I have a program called Magical Magnetism, and the only way that manifesting your reality is going to work is if you're constantly moving energy through your body. Some people don't have the opportunity to eat organically and they have to just take a foster farm. Like, hopefully they don't get sued for that. Um, but like, you know, some people don't have that opportunity, but, okay, so right now you're stuck. You have to make this choice, then you can move that energy through your body, through, um. Making sure that you're sweating, Qigong vibrational plates, um, centering yourself, yoga, stretching, all of that is release systems, right? Because everything just gets stuck in our fascia. That's the only thing that's really happening. And so you just wanna make sure your foam rolling, doing something to move your energy out. Sweating to me is the easiest one because the rest I'm a horrible stretcher and a horrible. Um, foam roller and stuff'cause it hurts, you know? And so I personally go on something that I call a hot girl walk just so I can make sure I move this energy out of my body. If the top five people that I'm with, well I'm mostly with my clients, so that's gonna change on a day-to-day basis. And they don't come to me when they're winning. You know, um, I'm easily forgotten. Um, but, so I have to constantly move my energy through. So to me, movement and if you can eat foods that are going to be filters, right? So like fiber, vegetables, things like that, things that are gonna, get that system moving is key. I always, I told some people last night, they think I'm gross, but it's like I love, emitting bodily fluids because it's, um, it, it gets stuff out of you, you know? Right. Yeah. Sorry. You can clip that. Yeah. No, no, no. It's okay because I talk about, yeah, like. Movement and all that stuff too. So, speaking about energy, what does it mean to you to live a high vibrational life? Because I feel like, you know, on Instagram and like even just like shirts all the time, you see like good vibes, positive vibes only, things like that. And like, yes, we do wanna live a high vibrational life, but I feel like there's so much more to it than just. Saying, Hey, good vibes, you know? Yeah. It's like, oh. I think the other day I was like telling my boyfriend, I was like, I'm so anxious. He just goes, relax. It's like, oh, right, thanks. Like so easy. Like, let me just get a shirt. I'm relaxed. It's like, no. Um, I think living a high vibrational life means you are fully living up to your highest potential. What that means. Is different for everybody in each moment. It changes every single day, and the only way that you can truly be high vibrational is to face your shadows. So if that's what you're kind of saying, it's like this toxic positivity. You wanna know how you get really happy because you heal. And so you know you have to. Be grateful even for the shadow periods. If I didn't go through this terrible, terrible thing in my mid twenties, I wouldn't have my own business. Me going through this dark night of the soul that like was excruciatingly painful is how I ended up becoming high vibrational because in that moment I remembered that I could still trust the universe. That's really what high vibrational is, okay, there's an opportunity here. Think of a shadow as an opportunity. Think of a problem as an opportunity for me to get better. And so instead of looking at my life, let's say some things, negatives going on, I can't even think of what it would be because at this point I've learned how to alchemize everything. But let's just say you. I had a client recently. She got her car repossessed. She, from that moment forward, her business went crazy because it was the universe showing her where the low. Point was so high vibrational is not necessarily like good vibes only. It's taking those negative shadows or those dark moments and knowing those are your opportunities for growth. And if you can look at it like that, because I ask anybody that's listening, when have you ever had a bad opportunity happen that you haven't? Grown exponentially from afterwards. There's never gonna be a low point that you don't then take it up 10 notches. One of my favorite. Um, speakers or teachers is named David Ghiyam and he talks about how somebody stole a million dollars from him, like committed fraud, and he knew that that meant his business was about to grow because he just asked for growth. And then next thing you know, somebody. Wire frauds him for a million dollars. And he says that he got so excited and he like jumped around the house. He was pissed and he was scared, but he was like, I also have to know what this is. And his business, he owns Mary Ruth organics. It went up to um oh, oh, okay. 500 million that that was when TikTok went crazy with them and he knew that it was because he didn't have that reaction. So high vibrational is just not reacting to a negative experience. Instead, you're looking going. Huh? What is this trying to show me, right? Like, who's in my life that's not supposed to be here? What am I doing that's not supposed to be here because I asked for something bigger and this is the thing that's preventing me from getting there, right? Yes. Okay. So much to unpack there, but one of the things is kind of like, well, it's all about perspective, right? Like sometimes when it seems like everything's going wrong, it's so hard to kind of like take a step back and look at the bigger picture, right? Because you just kind of get in your feels and stuff. But what you're saying is actually, you have to hit rock bottom to make that higher. Leap. Yeah, so there's two ways you can, I'm not telling you that, okay, you don't only have to hit rock bottom. If you are constantly aware of your energy, you won't hit rock bottom. You only hit rock bottom when you're not listening. So there's a quote, it says, the universe will make you so uncomfortable until you move. Right. So if you are not listening, you're just going to, things are just gonna compound, right? Mm-hmm. Let's just say maybe when you first realized that you needed to change your nutrition, right? It was like, okay, I'm eating what I want. I don't know. This may not be you. Let's just say it's a person, right? I'm eating what I want. Oh, this isn't sitting well with me. Who cares, eat it the next, I'm just thinking about being kids, like, you know, like we probably had these adverse reactions and just pushed them to the side until they compounded and compounded and compounded, and then next thing you know, you're like, dude, I can't even get out of bed. Like something's wrong or I'm having whatever's going on, right? And so it's like, but you got this signal a long time ago. So when you get really aware and you're super high vibrational. It does take a rock bottom first because not most of us don't have the awareness of what's possible and we just think it's normal to feel bad. But once you start raising your vibration, it goes up and up and up. That little teeny little minuscule energy, you start going, what is that? I need to open that up and look at it. Mm-hmm. So that it doesn't necessarily take rock bottom, but it does sometimes, right? When, when you get high vibrational, you're gonna notice the little, it's the princess and the pea. Do you get what I mean? Like, she felt the teeny tiny pee. Yeah. But when you're used to maybe not feeling so great, you're gonna accept it like, you know, um, you're just gonna take less than what you deserve and you're not gonna course correct. Uh, so that's a lot, but. I, I don't want you to think the only way to get there is right. Okay. Yes. Well, perfect. I'm glad I asked so you could clarify that. But yeah, I talk about how, we have to build our resilience to stress too. So I feel like that kind of corresponds where it's something little, you pick up on it quicker and you know. How to address the situation rather than spiraling, right? Yes, yes, yes. Definitely. And that's part of like growing up and learning and you know, I do think like a lot of parents try to prevent their kids from ever going through anything. Like, I see this all the time, you know? And it's like, no, let them go through this dark night so they can. Grow, right? We can't stop people from who they're supposed to become. Um, so yes, there's rock bottoms that we're, we're bound to hit, but there's also ways through once you've mastered it. Mm-hmm. Okay. I like that. So switching over, kind of like to astrology, how can someone begin to use their birth chart to better understand themselves and make aligned decisions? Okay, so astrology is like literally the sky, right? Like, so it's like it's so vast and I don't even think people understand how big it is. And so if you wanna understand yourself, my first suggestion is this. Read your. And that's what people typically start at. But understand your sun sign and then go look at your moon sign. So your sun is gonna be it's like an ego. It's like, it's not really how the world sees you, but it's how you want the world to see you. Right? And then your moon is your like soul. It's your. Emotions. It's your, it's just your inner right? It's like that part of you that maybe only the closest people to, you know? Mm-hmm. Um, like for instance, I'm an Aquarius and so that means that I want people to think that I'm so, um. I don't know, eccentric and go with the flow, but I have a moon in Aries. I'm so impatient and nobody really knows this unless you get really close to me. But I will freaking lose it if like things don't happen at the speed I want them to. Like, I am so annoying, but I'm a Capricorn rising, right? So you have a sun, moon, and a rising your sun is how you want people to see you. Your moon is how your inner workings are actually happening inside of you. And your rising is people actually perceive you. Oh, so my rising is in Capricorn, how people see me as like successful. Somebody who likes money, like knows how to put businesses together. You know, I don't know if you remembered, but like I won the, membership salesperson of the year at Crunch, you know, and it's like, that's not how I see myself at all. You know? I like when they were trying to promote me to general manager. I'm like, me. Like, you know, because who I'm actually thinking I am is this Aries Moon and this Aquarius son, not this business person who knows anything about business. Um, and so I think if you can just break down your son, understand the energy that you're trying to let people see of you. And then really the moon time is gonna tell you so much to understand yourself because you're like, ah, that's that thing I can't put my finger on.'cause your emotions are what's elusive, right? Unless you have like a cancer moon or a. That's really probably, or like that's probably probably the only person who kind of understands themselves the most. And then your rising sign is how other people are perceiving you. If you want to look at your chart there's so many places, like you can look at your chart to. Know what you're supposed to do for a career, you would look at your 10th house. So we have different houses on the birth chart, and that 10th house is gonna be your public face. So it's what you have potential to be famous for and like what your career is supposed to be. Your second house is gonna tell you how you receive money and what you have to do to work around that. Um, like you might be really interested in your six house, because that's your house of health, right? And that's like what you're so engaged in. But there's so much, and I think people can get really overwhelmed. So I always say start with your son. Once you feel like, Hey, I need more of this, then go to your moon and then go to your rising. You can only find your rising from your birth chart. But once you get those big three down, then you can start looking at what's your Venus, what's your Mars? And your Venus is how you love and your Mars is what happens, when you are excited or you get frustrated, right? So. After you can start to peel that back, then you really start to get a better understanding of yourself. And your chart, essentially, if somebody knows how to read it right, can literally tell you exactly what you came here to do and be and what your highest potential is. It's similar to tarot. It's just like this one is actually written in the stars and, it doesn't mean you're gonna get it right though. Like, for instance. Knowing how to read a chart. I saw that I was having this transit happen in early February this year where I was getting an opportunity to really transform my money, and I knew about this since October, so I had basically four months to figure out what that meant. And I. Got my, like head to the ground and I, and I did it, you know, I had my biggest financial month, um, what actually happened in January, and then it happened again in February. And it's because I knew what transits were going on. Mm-hmm. Right. Some people have this opportunity to meet their soulmate, and maybe if they don't know, they might not leave the house. Those people who think their soulmate is just gonna be like their DoorDash driver one day or something. Um, so I think that's a good way to use it. But for someone who's not really wanting to invest into astrology courses or study all the time, I think just learning your big three is gonna be. Key. And there's so much out there these days to figure out what transits you're going through. I mean, maybe just doing a temporary check-in. I really think this is something that we should have been taught in school. Um, I think people's lives would've been changed, but since it didn't happen, I think, you know, investing in an app or if you really are that interested in investing in a reading, um, it can really be a game changer for you. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well I remember, I don't know, it was probably last year now, but I had you do a reading and it was just over Instagram. Right. But you knew, you were like, I think you're a water sign. And I'm like, oh, yep. She like totally got that. So it's amazing that you were like, I'm just getting a feel that you're a water sign, so that's cool. But um, just having it kind of like support you, I feel like it also helps you believe more in the universe. Like the universe has my back. Right. And it's not just up to me. And, So, it's really cool. It gives you confidence and it empowers you, right? Yeah. Like, and my birth chart, it literally says that like, I'm here to be like a spiritual healer. And I was like, okay, cool. I can quit my job at Crunch. You know? Um, like seeing that. I could do it. And that might sound crazy to some people, but when I look back, I'm like working at Crunch, no offense, seems pretty crazy when I can do this, you know? Right. Yeah. Something more aligned. Yeah. So they gave me the confidence to go for it, you know? And, I think that's really what you mean by that support. It's like when you figure out who you are and you're not just making it up and it's not just like. You know, a dream that's like kind of sitting in your head that feels like nobody understands, gives you that confirmation and you can start to go for it. Mm-hmm. Totally. You're like, all right, let's make this happen. So I know there are lots of other, tools like crystals that you can use to help support. But I know there's like so many. Do you have a few favorites that you can share with us? Or like, maybe if someone hasn't really stepped into this world yet, but would like to explore, are there good ones for beginners or anything? Yeah. So like you're really into health. So I'm thinking and like as you should be, right? Like that shouldn't be something that you're really into. Like it should be like, you know? But um, like, so I'm assuming that a lot of people who listen in are wanting help with their overall health. lepido lite is great, for being able to kind of let your stomach be your brain because this brain is gonna tell you that you want something else. And this. Brain is actually the one that knows what's best for it, right? So lepido lite, it's really good for, exercise, health, and just being in your best health. Um, so like I, for that one, like to put it on my body, like, you know, I'll put it like a bracelet or something, you know, just one of those. Remember those power beads we used to have in the nineties, where Oh yeah. Like that, those were gemstones, you know, we just didn't put it together. We're just like, Ooh, power. Yeah. Um, but like, if you could get one of those, I think that's great. If you're looking for like high vibrations, my favorite is citrine. Hmm. Um, it's like a yellowy. You have to be careful. If it's too orange, it's probably heated amethyst. But if you can put it in the left corner of anywhere in your house, so like if you work from home, for instance, you could put it in the left corner of your desk and you wanna bring money and happiness. It's like literally high vibrational. And it's a stone that doesn't need cleansing. And this will, it's like an expander. It's gonna bring you happiness, more money, more joy. It's abundance, right? Um, you know, I have, my boyfriend's a Virgo and I'm an Aquarius, so we're completely different people. So he's very logical and I'm very not. And so we tend to bicker, right? And so I put rose quartz all over our house because not that I want it to create love.'cause that's con it's confused, it creates harmony. It just creates ease in the house. So I would put that in like a, um, a family room, right? Or maybe somewhere where if you're. When you go to sleep at night, like how I really got into everything is I was having nightmares and um., They were terrible. And I went to a crystal store, which is where I got my first tarot reading, and I bought rose quartz and amethyst, and I put'em under my pillow. Mm-hmm. And that helps me sleep better. So Amethyst is gonna soothe your crown chakra and help you sleep better. And if you couple it with rose quartz, you don't have such bad dreams. So there's so much they can do. But I will tell you a little secret that nobody shares. You can. Do it with anything. Hmm. You know, crystals, they have energy, but everything has energy. We are, there's no separation between me and this hair tie, so I can say, Ooh, this hair tie is on. I'm safe. You know? Yeah. And, and that's, anything can be anything. And I love crystals and they're so beautiful and they are amplifiers, but. Anything can be anything. Mm-hmm. And a lot of people don't like to hear that'cause it like demystifies things and it's like it takes away the energy of the crystals. Um, but. I still buy them. I love them. You know? Mm-hmm. It's a little easier to believe sometimes that that crystal's gonna help me more than the hair tie would. Right. But we are in a mercury retrograde, so the last one I'll tell you guys about is a black tourmaline. Okay. This is a very protective stone, and it's one that like, you can't tell me that anything can be anything with. It's the one that I'm not leaving without, and I have like giant ones in my house to protect me. Um, but they really protect you from just like any minor mishaps or just little things going wrong. Okay. Yeah, I've heard that of um, like black obsidian also. Yeah. Anything black. Yeah. And actually, my husband's grandma gave us some black obsidian rocks before I even knew what they meant. And they've been in our backyard. So I was like, when I found that out, I was like, oh my gosh, okay, we're protected. Like, yeah, they, anything black that's a stone can absorb. It's absorbing what's happening. So a lot of, um, feelers do wear black, right? Mm-hmm. Because it's gonna like absorb it and not put it into them. Black is just like a void, right? Okay. Mm-hmm. I don't wear black so much because I don't know, I guess I like to take risks. I am getting that from you. I love it. Um, so are you, I'm gonna put you on the spot a little bit, but are you getting any messages coming in right now that you think my audience needs to hear? I think the only message that anyone ever needs to hear is that you have the ability to create the life you want. It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter who you've been. It doesn't matter anything. At any moment you can decide to have a different life and a better life, and all you have to do is want it. There's a quote from my favorite book and it's says, when you want something, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve it. After I read that quote, it was like my inner knowing that I always knew that I could do this. It, I was like, I always have known this. And so if you want your life to look different and you wanna feel better, you have to believe in your body, right? So let's say you're, you're here to, you're here to feel better. Every bite you take, it doesn't matter what it is. Envision the nourishment happening. If you don't have the opportunity to eat organic or you don't know if something that you're eating was raised humanely, you have to envision your body accepting it and healing it, right? We have, we are alchemists. We have this ability to process and transform. And so I think a lot of the times we eat something. We think, ugh, I don't know. People say this is going straight to my ass, but now they want that. Right? Um, but you can say, this is gonna go straight through a fuel. This is gonna provide me energy if you're, you have the ability. So that's the biggest thing that I wanna share with anybody. I don't care what's going on. You have the ability to experience miracles. Mm-hmm. It, it just happened the other day. Um, one of my friends, their uncle's really sick and he was trying to get him to eat healthier and he couldn't get anybody on board with it, and he was just freaking out. And weirdly enough, he's the person who kind of introduced me to a lot of this stuff. He gave me the book, the Alchemist, and I said, you don't need. Him to eat better. You don't need him to go on a vibrational plate. All you have to do is ask the universe that he is open to receiving miracles. Mm-hmm. And guess what? The doctors can't believe it. It's been about three months since I said that to him. They're shocked at what's happening because once I told them that, he goes, you're right. All of this is energy. It's all the same thing. Our brain is saying, I can't eat this meat because it, it suffered. Right? Well, the meat's probably going, I don't wanna go into that body. She suffers, you know, so it's like, but we can transform the suffering, you know? And, um, all you have to do is truly believe it and be open to experiencing a miracle. Mm-hmm. That's beautiful. So I could definitely keep you here all day, but I feel like you've already left us with such like wonderful gems to get us started on this journey. So I wanna thank you again for being here.
