Okay. It took me a second, but I understand what this episode wants to be now. Guys, I have to stop pretending that this is like a single person hosted show. This is very much a co-hosted podcast. And I have to remember that my role, my hosting position is not the one where I am picking the topics and the messages and the whatever episode wants to come in whatever order. I totally, once again, went to bed last night thinking, like, okay, cool, tomorrow, podcast day, we're gonna do an episode about ABC. And then I'm waking up this morning getting going. And it's very clear that actually this podcast is gonna be an episode about XYZ. So anyway, um it's just funny, but also it works better that way. And yeah, it's like in a way, it's easier to trust that the messages that are coming through are what a certain someone or a certain set of people actually need to hear anyway. So anyway, today's episode on the surface it feels like it's about perception. Which might nauseate some of you, which might make some of you like um, but it feels like it's about perception. Okay, but maybe not in the way we totally or usually think about perception. Okay, we'll just we'll worry about that at the end. Anyway, the other thing about this episode, it feels like okay, so the June monthly messages, the message for unexpected magic. I guess I'll put in the show notes. I will put a timestamp if you guys want to go back and listen to that. But the card pull was Three of Swords, and the gist of it was there's something that you want to do that you may not even realize that you still want to do because you might have thought that the motivation or interest in that thing had gone away. But really, it was your brain dressing up fear as disinterest, as lack of motivation, because your brain knew that if you knew it was fear keeping you from doing this thing, it wouldn't actually be able to keep you from doing the thing. You would probably do it anyways. Anyway, it put fear in a costume of disinterest, and then you thought you just didn't care to do the thing anymore, but it actually is still very much on your heart to do. Okay, I am getting that. I mean, there's a there's a spectrum of things that could be true for you, right? And if anything aside from I have taken action on said thing is true for you, this message is for you. If you have already taken the action, congratulations, you get a day off. Go do something fun. Or of course, you can still listen to and receive this message because if there are other things in your life that you are wanting to take a leap of faith on or take a risk on, this will also help for that. But you know, you could also just come back to it if and when that pertains to you. And again, just enjoy your day off. Okay. Um, but this is saying that for the rest of us in the collective, I'm so sorry. I actually I have done it already, so I can't group myself in with you guys this time. For the rest of you that are in the collective that haven't taken action on this thing yet, that is totally okay. It's only June 15th. There is plenty of June left to go. Honestly, there is plenty of today left to go. Um, I do get the sense that for a lot of you, this thing would not take more than 10 seconds, 10 minutes, an hour, certainly not a day, to just rip off the band-aid if that's really what you wanted to do. So who knows? You could be going to sleep tonight thinking, like, oh, I took that leap of faith, how refreshing. You could be celebrating yourself tonight. Okay, anyway, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Um, this message feels like it is for people who are looking for the courage to do the thing, perhaps. And yeah, maybe you've been able to admit to yourself, like, oh, okay, I really, I do still want to do this thing. And now you're kind of in that sticky spot of, I do want to do it, but like, how? How am I gonna do that? Can I really do that? I'm still so afraid. Where am I gonna get the courage from? And part of the message is if you have gone from denying that you want this thing to admitting to yourself that you do, that in and of itself takes courage. And so, in a way, is proof right there that like your courage to do the thing already exists. So, and then on the flip side, maybe you are still in denial that you do want to do the thing. So if that's the case, then this can kind of help you with that, and just graduate you to the next level of admitting to yourself that you do want to do this thing, or have this thing, or be a part of that thing, or whatever's true for you. The amount of construction that's going on. Hold on, I'm getting a hole downloaded right now. Pause the other message. There is so much road work going on, and not just like filling pothole band-aid type of repairs, but like full tearing up the street and laying whole new whatever, total just like ripping everything up and repaving new whatever. Oof. Okay, the other thing is like um the messages that want to come through to be shared today, yeah. Maybe part of the reason you're also feeling afraid to fully take the leap is because it's something that you know that it's not a leap that you just take one time and then you walk away from it and whatever. It's like once you take that leap, it's not that you could you couldn't walk away from it, but it's like you would be taking that leap with the intention of kind of like this is the new trajectory in my life, or this is a new direction that I'm going. Yeah, exactly. It's a road that you would travel often, which is why there's all this road work going on, because it's like, look, we can't just keep filling the same pothole and hoping that every once in a while, when someone drives over or whatever, it's like, no, we need to redo the whole street. Road work ahead because we need to redo the whole street, because this is a road you are going to be traveling often. And this message is coming through to help you repave this road so that it is smooth for you and so that it lasts for you. Because it's not a road that you're just going to do the one time and then walk away. It's going to become a more frequent path for you. So cool. So cool. Okay. So I was guided to these two downloads that I received last summer. Um ahead of me taking a similar leap of face type of action. Okay, for the past however long, I have had a very intentional and close relationship with my intuition. And my perspective on that was I personally want to live a very intuitively guided lifestyle. I felt and understood what that meant for me, how that was really like a cheat code in so many ways. And I mean, the first step on that journey is being able to more clearly and quickly recognize what even is your intuition when it shows up for you. So I went on that journey, and then last summer I had this whole epiphany that, like, oh shit. This thing has been such a gift for me. And I'm like fully, I've been dancing around this probably for months to a year at this point, but um, I'm fully realizing that like, okay, this is actually a gift that I'm also meant to share with other people. And that was at the same time, incredibly, oh my gosh, you guys. Wild that that's gonna make me emotional right now. Um, but it's at once really like freeing in a way to see yourself so clearly and just like it, uh, it is a beautiful experience that's very hard to articulate. So that was going on on one side. And then on the other hand, there was this equal but opposite fear of like, holy fuck, what is that going to mean? How does one, how do you just all of a sudden, yeah? And I just, you know, went through all the things about like, what are people gonna think? What are people gonna say? That's so weird, people aren't gonna understand, and I had that huge fear of being misunderstood that I had been trying to get over, all of that, right? And so it's like, even though, in a lot of ways, that was really clarifying, it also just brought up a lot of other stuff, too, which is okay, but I had to figure that out. And last summer really was a dance of like wobbling between those two energies and figuring it out. And there was one night where I just had all this grief coming up. I was crying in my room, but sometimes crying in your bed isn't actually sad enough. And I don't know if you guys have experienced this, but sometimes you actually, it's like better if you get out of your bed and go into your bathroom and like close the door, lock it, and cry on the floor. I don't know. Grief really just likes to do its big one when you're laying on your bathroom floor. So that's what I did. And it was so good, it was so cathartic. And at one point, you know, the nice thing, I won't go into a whole thing of this, but like sometimes your grief really just wants you to feel it. And then all of a sudden it will be like, out came the sun and dried a ball to rain. Literally. Like you will just be in the deepest grief, unloading the biggest load of tears you've ever unloaded in your life. And then, like, 10 seconds later, it'll just be like, oh, okay, cool, that's over. So that's kind of what happened when I was on my bathroom floor and I started just looking out the window, just sitting there in silence, looking up out of the window. And as I was doing that, these two downloads came through for me back to back, that really in a huge way changed the name of the game for me. And that is what is coming through today, this morning, for me to share with y'all. Okay, and I really quickly just want to say, and this might be stating the obvious, but it's worth noting anyway, that your biggest griefs, your biggest um, most emotionally volatile spirals are likely going to come up when you have energetically committed to doing the thing that scares the fuck out of some part of yourself. And a lot of time that is coming up as a sort of, well, you know, it's just like you're gonna be doing something. Everything in you that has been resistant of you doing that thing is gonna come up all at once. Everything else, everything that's left standing in the way, energetically, emotionally, mentally, of you doing that thing, when you've made the decision to do the thing, all of that stuff is going to come up. Whatever is left to process is going to come up. And so when you feel that, it's not a sign that, oh, clearly I'm not ready. It's like, no. Whether you decide to do it now, whether you wait another six months, that shit has to come out regardless. So you might as well just keep going. Okay, but anyway. So I just cried a flood. I'm sitting on my bathroom floor in like the aftermath of my spiral. Again, feeling calm at this point. But while I'm doing that, you know, I there are still parts of me that are pretty active with worry and concern. And they are now more calmly and coherently voicing their concerns to me. And before I even take a moment to hear them out and consider what it is they're asking me, I get very quiet and still with myself and just let myself know I love me. Okay, not to be dramatic, and I'm really not that much of an affirmation scurly. But for some reason, you guys, I love me. Just those three words as an affirmation, that shit does something for me. That shit does something for me. It brings me back into balance, and it just reminds me that, like, before I try to save the world, but before I try to figure something out for myself, what foundation, what solid footing am I standing on to even be able to do that? And the answer is, I love me. I don't even have, like, even right now, you guys, that is doing something for me. And it's not something I even have to mentally think about or mentally remember. It's just like when I say that shit, my body just like, oh yeah, it just straightens out. I'm really not much of an affirmations person, but for some reason that one really works for me. I feel like when you just really quickly take a moment and reconnect with the fact that, like, oh yeah, nothing I can do, nowhere I can go where I will not love myself on the return route. It's like all of a sudden, all this world's scariest shit isn't the world's scariest shit anymore because you're grounded in the fact that, like, oh right, I love myself now, and at the end of the day, I'm gonna keep loving myself. So, you know, other stuff can be important, and there can still be questions to ask and answer. But it really puts in perspective that like the end of the world is not upon you. So, anyway, 10 out of 10 recommend. Or if that one doesn't work for you, I would just ask your people, your guides, to give you your equivalent, your little free word phrase that you can utter to yourself that will just totally bring you back to like, oh yeah, the big picture. Oh yeah. Because then from there you can just it's like, okay, now I can face whatever's in front of me from a real and true perspective. All right, so anyway, just sitting there, give myself three quick little I love me's, and then I start to hear out the worries and concerns from my parts. And what they are worried and concerned about is if I just quote unquote all of a sudden start letting a journey that has been very internal and personal to me become something that I express outwardly, if I just all of a sudden start, you know, telling people that I'm intuitive, I'm psychic, I have these gifts, this is what I want to do, this is what I want to share, this is the direction I want to go, that at best people will be neutral and you know, just not get it and still love me anyway. But at worst, these parts of me are totally freaked out that you know, I'm misunderstood and I'm judged or ridiculed, and yeah, whoa, that was scared me. Um, the mass exodus, that's what I used to freak out about. Uh, the mass exodus of people from my life. That people that I have known and loved and that have known and loved me would all of a sudden not, and that they'd leave. And so these are the things that my parts were like how can you know that this shit isn't gonna happen? Happen. And what's really cool about these downloads is that they came in to answer before I even had to try to pretend to like figure it out or have an answer for these parts of myself. And so what I'd say, if you're in a place where you can like, I don't know, close your eyes or just take a deep breath and relax, I get the sense that this, I mean, these podcast episodes are always to some degree an energetic transmission. Yeah, but when I share like a specific download, they just feel more. Um, yeah. So anyway, if you can just drop your consciousness into your heart and receive the message from that place instead of trying to hear it with your brain and mentally apply it to your situation. Okay. Even if you shared yourself this way on social media, and everybody unfollowed you, or left mean comments, or sent you rude messages, even if your friends were still your friends to your face, but we're all secretly talking about you and worried about you and concerned about you behind your back. Even if there was a mass exodus, and everybody that you know and love right now got up and left your life because you chose you in this way. You are so full of love that them leaving would be emotionally imperceptible. Like a drop of water evaporating from the ocean, that is how full of love you are. That is how much access to love you would still have. And the same is true for you guys. Whatever this leap of faith is, and wherever your fear of being perceived comes into play, this message wants you to know that like loss is a myth when it comes to you taking the sleep of faith. Not because people won't misunderstand you, not because they will, not because some people slowly might fade out of your life or quickly and abruptly decide to leave and make a lot of noise on the way out, and again, not necessarily that they will. And that can come to you from you. I'll put that in the show notes too. Even if that's not immediately resonating in your brain, hopefully in your heart, you can feel how true that is. Even if you don't fully understand mentally how that how that's possible. Okay. Um when that downloaded for me, that like it was like what spiral? Like, what spiral? What am I crying about? Like what grief? Grief who, grief where, which was really cool. And then I just kind of sat there in that feeling of like, whoa, like, whoa, unconditional love. It's so crazy. And as I was sitting there enjoying that, another download came through. Me going on that journey at that time was the most authentic thing, the most true to myself thing that I could have done at that point. And so, as much as there was like, you know, fear that came up from time to time, or grief that came up from time to time, I'm telling you, that is like maybe half the story, but probably not even that much. I mean, to be fair, when fear comes for you in a big way, when grief comes for you in a big way, you feel it. You feel it. It can feel all-consuming. And trust me, I get that. I I totally get that. But if that's all it was, you would not, you wouldn't keep going. If that is, if that was even the primary experience of it, you wouldn't keep going. And so it's like, don't deny yourself the bliss of also just being in your authenticity. It feels fucking good. It feels so fucking good if you let it. And that is like the primary experience that I've been having up to that point. And so when I was sitting in this feeling, that's what came up for me, which ultimately led to he's so cute. He pulls too much. Um yeah, sitting in that energy and just allowing it to like fill me up is ultimately what led to the second download that came through. It just occurred to me that all the things that I had created in my life up to that point. The things that I was so proud of having accomplished, the relationships that I was so afraid to risk, right? Just anything that I would label good, right? Anything that I would be fearful of having to lose out on if I really took a leap of faith on myself in that way. The message that came through was like, look at your life and consider that everything that you've created and everything that you love that you have created has been created from a way of living where you are willing to sacrifice your authenticity, where you were only living in your authenticity for some of the time. Now consider what you will be able to create, what you will be able to receive, how much quote unquote good you will be able to experience when you are loyal to your authenticity 100% of the time and nothing else. And in that moment, that shit blew me out of the water because it was like you think you have it good now. You love so many things about your life now, you are attached to so many things about your life now. And you've and this is what you've created when you were only living on, like, we'll say half power. It's like imagine what you'll be able to create and how easily you will be able to create it when you crank that shit up to 100 volume. God, and even right now, that like that download in particular wants you to know that you're not afraid, it's not scary, it doesn't feel risky to you because it is inherently risky. It feels scary to you because you've never done it before, you've never committed to your authenticity 100% all the way up, loyal to it before everything else. You've never done that before, and that's why it feels scary. Choosing authenticity is not inherently risky, it's actually the safest energy you could be in, the most powerful energy you can be in, the most magnetic energy that you can be in. And so it may feel like part of you is afraid of like, oh, like I want to do that, that sounds great, but what if it doesn't work? And like, to be fair, that may be part of the reason there's fear there. There's also a level of fear there that's like, okay, and what if it does? And what if it does work? Because that's not something you've experienced before, and because it's unknown, it's a a little bit scary subconsciously. Okay. Oh, anyway, those were the two messages that came up to want to be shared today. And again, very specific to this context, this context of the unexpected magic being in the three of swords, the unexpected magic being in the thing that's on your heart to do that. Your brain is just like, I don't really know that we can do that. I really don't know that we can do that. You can. Oh, you can. And I think that's really everything. I'm gonna let it linger for a moment and just see if there's anything else that wants to come through. You are so safe. You are so protected. Okay, this message is like aw, sorry, some things just immediately make me want to cry. Um, this message is here is because like your perception right now is so focused on how other people are going to react or how other people are going to change in response to you doing the thing that is on your heart to do. Oh my god, and this message, this message from perception wants you to adjust your lens and where you're using your scope of vision to perceive everybody else. It's like the one thing you're not taking into account is how you are going to change. Oh my gosh. This is a message of perception because it's saying that you are using so much of your energy to perceive how everybody else is going to respond. You've been using your energy to perceive the outcome from the perspective of everything outside of you, everybody around you. And this is a message from perception because it wants you to take a second to perceive yourself. It's like you have forgotten to consider how you get to change when you do this thing, and that that's where the unexpected magic resides. Over and out.
