Part of the rebellion is remembering all of the multifaceted parts of you.

This is for you if you've ever felt like a weirdo, not sure how to balance your corporate job with your woo side.

An invitation to stop hiding and start using all of what you were given... fully, unapologetically, and unbothered. 

The ones meant for you will find you. The ones not meant for you will move along.

P.S. 

Babe, you do not have to choose between business and intuition. You were given your gifts for a reason. All of them. Time to let them be Seen.

This conversation is for you if you are like me, multifaceted, multidimensional, and trying to figure out how you balance and navigate your natural gifts and talents, which might feel like witchcraft . I picture in that old movie from the nineties, there's that Adam Sandler movie where he was asking what time he was born or something, and his mom said, you better stay away from that

she devil. The planets and the alignment impact people. You can even see the way a full moon, people seem a little bit crazier, it's measured for 9 1 1, emergency calls increase during a full moon, or you can even notice it in the way people act at work, et cetera.

Planets have an impact on our body. How do you balance [00:01:00] those things that have that energetic impact? And natural talents and abilities, with people that say, that's not of God, that's of the devil, that's witchcraft. Whatever it might be, this is a different time. We're not burned at the stick anymore.

When we look at it. There's the gift of the spirit. I've had this since I was seven years old, was the first time I ever spoke with spirits, and it came naturally when I was laying in my bed. I was supposed to be sleeping and lived in a house that other people knew was haunted. Even my uncles and aunts told me later growing up about the spirits they could visually see.

I was like, no wonder I wasn't crazy when I was seven years old and terrified that I could hear them, see them communicate with them. I couldn't see them misspoke on that part. I could hear them, I understood them and [00:02:00] communicate with them and they would move different things or adjust things in the house.

Super weird. And at seven years old, I got baptized. A neighbor came over to my house who was babysitting me. Talked about God and me , being raised in the Southern Baptist Church, this natural ability I had with spirits was called witchcraft. However, when we look at the Bible, there are a lot of bible verses that talk about our spiritual gifts and the gifts of prophecy. When you look at Daniel, at Joseph, they interpreted dreams. They had visions. Interpreted for pharaohs and kings and Ezekiel who had these visions, and if you. Think, oh, well that was only the Old Testament, but the New Testament, those gifts went away according to who?

The New Testament Corinthians, where we're given different gifts and prophecy is one of the gifts that actually listed. So the gift of [00:03:00] prophecy is listed. Peter says, Corinthians 13:2, two Peter said, and though I have the gift of prophecy, so even Peter talks about having the gift of prophecy.

In 1 Corinthians 12, four there diversities of gifts, but the same spirit. When we look at it, how do I integrate all these parts and pieces of me and who I am, that I have these natural gifts and talents and abilities and believe in God. I'm not the one to be dogmatic. I don't care because for me, it's not my responsibility to be dogmatic and chase someone around and hit them over the head with a Bible until they believe in God.

I don't care, what you believe it's not my responsibility to convince anyone of anything. The same way we [00:04:00] like different flavors of ice cream. Some people prefer chocolate. Some would order pecan. Some people would never order pecan and always, order Oreo ice cream. Who cares.

We all have different flavors, and it's the same way with our talents and our gifts. If something is not resonating with you, then move it along, this is meant for the one who's trying to balance it all like you are. You're trying to balance how do I take my gifts and talents and without hiding them anymore.

I know there are people who've kept their gifts quiet for many, many years because if you're like me, I thought I was a fucking weirdo and I couldn't figure out how to say, oh, I talk to dead people, and I can also talk to CEOs. I've, sat with the CFOs. I've sat next to CEOs at their right hand, in billion dollar companies, multimillion dollar companies.

I've helped CEOs build their business triple their [00:05:00] revenue in their business. And how am I supposed to explain that? Oh, and I can also communicate with Spirits.

But if I took away one of those parts or pieces, it's almost as if I'm taking away one of the tires from my car. I need all four of them when I drive my car. If I took away one of those pieces, it doesn't necessarily work for me personally. It works because I have this intuitive ability, and I wouldn't say that I've ever, sat in a boardroom and channeled the spirits.

When they come through to me, they typically come through when I'm doing one-on-one coaching, clients, calls and zooms. I don't plan on them coming through. I can tune into a spirit or a spirit wants to come through.

It comes through naturally. The first time it ever happened to me with mediumship, was six years ago. I was doing a coaching call [00:06:00] with a gal and I felt a male energy come in. One of my Claires is just that knowing I felt a male energy, and I asked her, is there a male around you that's passed on?

It wasn't even why we were on the call.

She said, yes. I said, okay, he's telling me his name starts with a C. She said, no, that's not his name. It just felt, he's insistent, his name starts with a C. She said, well, his middle name starts with a C. My reply was, yes. He's telling me that's him. He didn't want me to say his first name because.

He would, you might misunderstand it and think that it, I found it on Facebook, or I planned this conversation, or it's out there on the internet, or I saw a Facebook post. However, he wanted to use it as a proof of life to tell you what his middle name was, and I told her, I said this, this is the middle name he's telling me.

I described the desk where she was sitting [00:07:00] or that she had in her room and mentioned to her, he's showing me that you're writing a book, and she said. Well, I have a book and I put it on pause because he and I were supposed to write it together, and I said, yes. He's telling me that's why he's coming through now.

He wants to still help you write the book. He still, he wants you to finish writing the book, and the two of you are going to work on it together. When I'm doing these, spirit readings, I channel the messages. They always show me something that happened first in their day-to-day life. Before I channel the messages that they want me to say for them, the way I look at it is God is using me because it would feel creepy.

Think about it if we heard this booming loud voice or. A voice, audible voice of someone that we recognize that passed on. I don't think I would be able to sleep very well. It would also make me incredibly paranoid because I would be [00:08:00] going about my day to day life things and, I would be afraid is someone gonna pop through?

Are there spirits here beside me? I don't know how I would function if I heard those day-to-day loud voices. When it happens now for me, it's when it's quiet and when it's intentional and when I'm listening or when they speak first and they ask to come through, I. And I think that there are mediums that are being channeled because the loud, booming voice would just create extra noise.

Our world is already noisy as it is. One of the other things I channeled, there's this psychic medium. She was very popular. She had a book. She was involved with a famous police case in Hawaii helping solve that murder. Worked with the police department. I channeled her, for her daughter and her granddaughter.

She came through in a reading. I didn't know until [00:09:00] after who the grandmother was, but channeled specific things. And so there is value too when we use our gifts and our talents versus when we're hiding them behind a cloak. In this day and the age, we don't need to be worried about being burned at the stick stake anymore.

And, and when I look at it, if, if you don't like mediumship or readings, then don't, don't use those. Then if you think that. You know, it's of the She Devil, like in that line, in the Adam Sandler movie. Then don't do it. However, there are too many verses for me to count in the Bible that talks about prophecy is one of the gifts of the Spirit.

Talks about it in one Corinthians 12, I think it's, where is it? Four [00:10:00] through 12 or four through 11. It talks about gifts of the spirit and prophecy is one of them. And God talked about, look at all the things that I've done. Jesus walked this earth and he knew things about people before when he met them.

So he talked about things that he shouldn't have known, and no one called him of the devil. I mean, actually people did, but whatever. It wasn't of the devil. He was saying. It's the spirit. It's a spirit within us. He was saying the father is within me,

Peter in 13 2, he said, I have the gift of prophecy. There was also prophecy written in the Old Testament before Jesus was born. Prophecies that were fulfilled, dozens of them.

So how do you reconcile all of that and say, okay, [00:11:00] this part of the Bible is true, however, this part is not. Do we really get to cherry pick? You can. However, when we look at it as a whole, what is it? What's in our intuition? What is our intuition telling us? But most importantly, this video is never meant to convince anyone.

This is not meant to be a sermon. I'm not meant to be a preacher in this lifetime. No way. It's instead, it's an invitation if you have the gifts. That spirit has given you. If you're trying to figure out, Hey, I'm multifaceted. How do I use all of my gifts? You use them when you feel called. If you feel like speaking, you speak.

If you feel like being quiet, you're quiet, but you don't have to hide them anymore. It's multifaceted like a diamond and a diamond holds all of the colors at once. That's how it reflects the most beautiful light. It's all of the different facets, all the different angles, all the different [00:12:00] points of view, and it reflects the light.

You're multifaceted like that. All of your gifts, like a multifaceted diamond.

The diamond analogy is the pressure creates the diamond our experiences, the hard things in life, all of that pressure creates the diamond. Glass breaks under pressure. Diamonds become beautiful. Diamonds are formed under that pressure.

The invitation is to never, never, I started to get words spaghetti. I get so excited about it. I have like 500 thoughts at the same time. When words are trying to come out. The invitation would be to not crumble. Under pressure instead expand. We expand under pressure. When things start to become hard instead of crumbling, instead of hiding our gifts, [00:13:00] instead of becoming quieter, we can go within and it's how do I expand the pressure to hold this?

How do I expand the pressure to be seen when there's some people that don't recognize me, they don't like what they're seeing. First of all, those people are not growing your investment accounts. They're not helping you build your assets. They're not buying assets for you. Why should their opinion impact the way that you're growing your bank account, you're growing your impact, and you are growing your assets?

Their opinion should mean nothing because it doesn't impact those things at all.

It is time to let other people's opinions go. There's one other thought that when I was journaling this morning, let me see where, \ looking at my phone notes this [00:14:00] morning that you are under no obligation to be the same person you were yesterday. You get to change, you get to evolve, you get to grow.

You get to become embodied in the lessons and the experience that you learned. You're under no obligation to be the same person. You're not fitting in a box anymore. If people don't recognize you anymore. Good. That means you're growing. That means you're evolving. That means you're changing.

We do not want to be the same. If they don't like this newer next version of you, they can move it along. They can move it along, and the people meant for you will find you. The ones not meant for you will unfollow you. They'll move it along.

There are too many people in the world that are waiting [00:15:00] to hear you, whatever your business might be. I've coached people that have made physical products. I've had in-person businesses that I've ran, i've coached people that had, a trampoline business, the kids Sky Zone Park. Coached people that had a pest control company.

Helped them grow their business. They have deeper marriages. They've learned to really trust themselves even more and expand and grow. That's the invitation. That's what we're here for. We're here to follow our own growth, our own energy. What excites us the most? What turns us on, what turns us off?

We get to figure that out and we get to find it ourself. Following someone else's blueprint is only going to cause you to crumble. Following someone else's blueprint is what helped them be successful, but it might be the exact opposite thing of what you need.[00:16:00] 

Following someone else's blueprint might've worked for them, and now they want to sell it to you as a system, as a formula, as a checklist. Be careful with those things. A framework that you can build is it a missing tool or a missing piece? Can it help you figure out, oh, I've had a hammer all along.

I can use that to hang pictures. I've tried to use a screwdriver on the nail, hasn't been working. Now I realize that, oh, I have this hammer. I can use that to hang up the picture with the nail. That's when the coaching becomes helpful. But if they tell you, I'm the only one that has this shiny hammer while I coach with you, you can use my tools.

But if we're not connected, then you won't make millions or bazillions of dollars. Yes, I can. [00:17:00] The power is within you. Each of us has, we have our own answers. Our own tools. Our own blueprint.

It is time to use all of your gifts and it's time to reframe it. That it's not witchcraft, it can be reframe that where it's the gift of the Holy Spirit. If this is true for you, it's the gift of the Holy Spirit that speaks through me. And if the Holy Spirit who knows all things. Is within me, then I have access to all things

becomes dangerous or heartbreaking when we want to try and cut off one of the parts of our body or try and cut off one of the parts of ourselves that we were [00:18:00] born for or made with. God gave us a gift for a reason. This is for the ones that have the woo woo gifts and the practical piece as well.

You can balance both of them because you were born with both of them, or you have the desire to develop these natural talents. You were born with it, so why not use it? Why would we want to walk around life? With one of our limbs tied behind our back. It doesn't make sense. We can be more functional, we can move more, we can accomplish more when we are all the way, all the way present, all the way embodied, all the way excited and moving forward for what lights us up completely different than someone else.

Someone else, watching this, there are people in my life they'd be like, okay, this girl's a fucking weirdo. Okay. It's, [00:19:00] it's, the message is not meant for them. It's meant for you if you're trying to figure out how to balance the woo part and the practical part without having to shelve either one of those things and without having to shelf, okay, God gave me these natural gifts and talents, now I need to shelf God.

You can have both like I said, I'm not dogmatic. If you call it Source if you call it universe, whatever it means to you, you don't have to shelf any of these parts and pieces. They're all part of this beautiful diamond,

and they're all wanting to be fully expressed When you're living, fully expressed, the ones meant to find you will come to you. The ones not meant for you will be repelled by you if you're like me, because that happens to me all the time. I'm like, okay. There's some people that are like, she's fantastic.

I love her, and there are other people who say [00:20:00] she's horrible. I can't stand her. Okay? The ones meant for me will find me. The ones not meant for me will be repelled by me. The internet is a very noisy place. There are lots of people speaking. You can find the ones that are meant for you and the ones not meant for you.

Move it right along.

Same thing for your business. When you are visible, the ones meant for you are called to you. They're magnetized to you. The same way two ends of the magnet. When you start sending out that energy, that frequency, they're magnetized to you. The ones not meant for you are repelled away from you. That's okay.

Be magnetic to the ones meant for you and be okay with the ones who don't like you. It has nothing to do with you. Stand in your same confidence, your same power, your same gifts, your [00:21:00] same talents. Stand incredibly present in you and the power of who you are. Because you were meant to share something,

and it's time for the world to hear it.
