1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360 Hello everyone and welcome to the Awaken Together podcast. 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,720 I'm Jen and I'm Kat. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,680 And today we're going to do a little like life catch up. 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,300 I feel like Kat and I have not been sitting in the same room in this space for a long 5 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:18,300 time. 6 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:19,300 Months. 7 00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:20,600 Do a little check in with each other. 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,920 Let you guys know how life has been treating us over here because there's always fun parallels 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,440 and stories. 10 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:35,120 And then we're going to go into a little summer solstice review, talk about some of the rituals 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,040 that you can do closing out the spring and welcoming in the summer and just some ways 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,440 to tap into that inner fire to honor the solstice. 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,040 But before that Kat, you want to get some life updates. 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,640 This is like actually real time. 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,600 I feel like I don't know what's been going on. 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,600 I know. 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,840 Normally we have a catch up like at least half an hour before we sit down to record. 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720 So we at least like know what's going on in each other's lives. 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,520 But we're doing it live right now. 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,520 It's fresh. 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,760 And Kat looks very summer solstice as like the full get up, sunflower tattoo on the forearm, 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,640 just so you have the visual. 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,640 Thank you. 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,160 And Jen is just sparkling from her head to her toes. 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,960 All the fairy hairs over here. 26 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:20,960 Always fairy. 27 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,680 I'm impermanent fairy. 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,680 Oh yeah. 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,680 Yeah. 30 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,360 Things have been up and down over here. 31 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,080 For me, they've been really up. 32 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,640 But I don't even know the last time I came on here if I shared this, but Kyle, my husband 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:44,400 has been on a leave of absence for a little over or almost, gosh, two months now almost. 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400 Yeah. 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,600 A month and a half. 36 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,500 And so basically he took this leave because things were just a lot at his job. 37 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:55,080 He was kind of in a new low mental health wise. 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,300 And so he was at this crossroads of like, what the fuck do I do? 39 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:00,560 Do I quit my job? 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,560 Like what do I do? 41 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,440 And we actually had a couple of friends recently who took leaves of absences and... 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,080 It's so the thing our generation is doing because our system is so broken. 43 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,320 And the fact is like making space to just realize who you are separate of work is like 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,160 so huge and it's crazy that we have function the way we do. 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,720 So good for him. 46 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,720 Yes. 47 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,720 I'm really proud of him. 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840 I've been encouraging him to do that for a while now. 49 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,600 Just knowing how he's been triggered by a couple of things at work and it's been doing 50 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400 wonders for him, I will say. 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,400 He is currently... 52 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,940 He took the first month to really just decompress, let his nervous system do its thing, get back 53 00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:45,820 to baseline a little bit more. 54 00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:52,280 And now he is actually tomorrow starting to work with a friend on some sound design and 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,160 it's a project that they might get paid for. 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:01,280 So it is a good step, like tiptoeing back into the work world. 57 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,080 His job of course is saving his role there for him when he returns, but ideally he will 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,880 not go back to that job. 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Yeah, good. 60 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,240 Yeah, because that's the role that kind of caused all the harm. 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,220 And it's just a really toxic company, awful work conditions. 62 00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:22,760 And so taking some distance has shown him really how much of it was that job, but he's 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:30,560 still like, okay, I want to set myself up with really good routines for when that time 64 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,560 comes. 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,560 Amazing. 66 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520 So dipping his toe in tomorrow with that, which is great. 67 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:41,700 And so with me, I've been kind of in this holding space mode of checking in, making 68 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,320 sure he's okay. 69 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,960 And at first that was a lot for me. 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,680 I was constantly kind of walking on eggshells and like, what do I say? 71 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,680 I don't know. 72 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760 Cause he was in a really heightened place. 73 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,660 And also a lot of things were going on with just like family and some stressful situations 74 00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:01,660 earlier this year. 75 00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:06,200 I ended up going back to Massachusetts and surprising mom for Mother's Day, which is 76 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,840 really nice. 77 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,160 So yeah, it was a really kind of up and down spring, but now that summer is here, I feel 78 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,660 just really, really, really good. 79 00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:21,840 Like whenever I take the time to separate myself from all the chaos and the noise, like 80 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,120 things are great. 81 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,680 And that gives me a lot of peace and rest assurance that I'm good. 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,160 Like my word for the year, I feel like it's perfect time to check back in halfway in the 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,640 year now, right? 84 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Almost exactly halfway through the year. 85 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,720 And my word's trust. 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,800 And so just that deep trust that like everything I've done, all the work, trials and tribulations 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,520 have all just prepared me for this. 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,080 And I really trust in that and I can kind of feel that, you know? 89 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,080 So that's where I've been. 90 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,920 I feel like this season has been really about relationships for me. 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Really deeply about relationships. 92 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,760 Not really about work as much, not really about like creative hobbies or ventures, but 93 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040 really like my people. 94 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,100 And that's felt really, really nice and really, really hard. 95 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:23,600 So we had a really good couples therapy session two days ago yesterday, I don't know. 96 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,920 And our therapist kind of pointed out how, like we'll cancel a session. 97 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040 We're only seeing her once a month right now. 98 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,900 We'll cancel a session because we're doing so well. 99 00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:39,120 And then we won't see her for two months and then we'll come back and we'll be like, oh 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,480 my God, things are so bad. 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Do we need to get a divorce? 102 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960 And she's like, you guys. 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Just not canceling them. 104 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,960 It's just not even, it's just like pointing out how like two days ago we were great. 105 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,960 And it's just like we catastrophize things in our minds so much. 106 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,360 And so that was a really beautiful pattern to just be illuminated for us in our faces 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,400 and point it out. 108 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,200 And after that session, we went in feeling pretty good and then in the middle of it feeling 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,400 really bad. 110 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880 And then by the end feeling like, oh, silly us. 111 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,520 We're just doing that thing again. 112 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,520 We're good. 113 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,520 We're great. 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,080 And so that's kind of how it's been. 115 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,800 I think it has been a lot to do with just like the mental state Kyle's been in and yeah, 116 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,720 little things here and there that have gotten me like up and down with energy levels. 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,000 We went to two music festivals, which were freaking amazing. 118 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Yeah. 119 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Yeah. 120 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,280 I saw the photos, Kat's little dress up photos. 121 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,040 If you don't see on Instagram, so cute. 122 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,040 So fun. 123 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,040 It brings me so much joy. 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,040 Inner child. 125 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,040 Oh yeah. 126 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Inner child and like Vixen. 127 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040 I love it. 128 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,480 Dark cat just embodied in an outfit. 129 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880 So yeah, it's been amazing. 130 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,880 It's been hard. 131 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,360 It's been beautiful. 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,360 It's been life. 133 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,240 Yeah. 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,040 It's hard to hold space for emotional intensity and just like stay in it and not, you know, 135 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,920 like shape shift everything around for just intensity. 136 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,960 I feel like I've had very similar parallels to that. 137 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Thanks for sharing all your updates. 138 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:26,400 I would say let's think from the start of spring and like you had a birthday overall 139 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,400 thing. 140 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Yeah. 141 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,840 I just had my birthday Jim and I season things. 142 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,800 I have so much Jim and I in my birth chart. 143 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,680 If you have not heard from previous episodes, so Jim and I seasons always really fun. 144 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,560 My life has been so busy. 145 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:49,000 I think it's definitely been hard to like hold space for as much like social stuff as 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,960 sometimes I, you know, I like to have my social worlds, but I feel like I've kind of been 147 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:03,160 in this grind mode, just like really, really focusing on setting myself up for future stuff. 148 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Definitely just like trying to get money saved, figuring out if like a house can happen at 149 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,720 some point. 150 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,200 I am, I have the goal really to create this commune. 151 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,520 Like it really is like what I really want is like way more community living. 152 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,680 So really just trying to set the space up where there is potential within that getting 153 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,280 things like organized. 154 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:30,000 So my physical therapy aside, I have this whole spiritual world, all my entrepreneurship 155 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,600 in that direction. 156 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,800 I love all the stuff I do on social media and then physical therapy is just this like 157 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,160 steady paycheck and it's been a very fulfilling job. 158 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:46,440 But I'm at like year, like I'm almost at 12 years and like 15 years in healthcare and 159 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,920 I'm 32 and it's just been so much and our healthcare system so broken. 160 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,680 I end up like merging at this point, my spiritual side is so loud. 161 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:02,680 Like I talk to all the patients just really unhinged compared to like how I would have 162 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,760 really compartmentalized at one point. 163 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Like everyone kind of just knows that I'm just quirky and into all this astrology and 164 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,680 into energy work. 165 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,120 And I just kind of talk about it all now, but our healthcare system doesn't really allow 166 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:23,600 me to be as expansive as I kind of view and like to help my clients with healing and how 167 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,600 I feel myself. 168 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,960 And then that just is sad to see people hurting and then have to like see them for only a 169 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,280 small period of time. 170 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,880 And I still love connecting people to their bodies, but yeah, our healthcare system in 171 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,680 the U S is just truly a nightmare. 172 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,400 So I'm excited to be able to just give like a final push in that direction. 173 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,000 I really do want to be able to eventually close out that chapter. 174 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,960 I just went to Sedona last week. 175 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,120 I actually connected with my healer. 176 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,140 She's like super psychic. 177 00:09:56,140 --> 00:10:01,880 There was so many little moments in Sedona that were so many synchronicities and magic. 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,440 But one of the questions I asked the psychic is when is physical therapy done? 179 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,440 Like, please tell me. 180 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,440 And she's like March, 2025. 181 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,320 And I was like, okay, I can, I can, I can handle that. 182 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,920 So I feel like I'm just kind of in this phase of just moving forward. 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,360 And yeah, as far as more personal stuff goes, I am still, me and Danny are still in the 184 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,880 poly worlds integrating. 185 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:33,760 I have another partner and integrating relationship dynamics within that. 186 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,680 And it's been really beautiful. 187 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,840 I think it's been the most healing chapter. 188 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,040 I feel like when did all this madness start? 189 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,800 The podcast holds time, but it's been a while. 190 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,800 December, 2023. 191 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,800 Yeah. 192 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Yeah. 193 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,800 I feel like 2022. 194 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,800 Yeah. 195 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,800 Yeah. 196 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,800 Yeah. 197 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,320 It's been a journey. 198 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,280 And I feel like for me, there was just so many patterns of not digging into some of 199 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:05,800 the deeper levels of intimacy and stuff that I just, I still had a lot of blockages. 200 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,120 I've realized the layers of religion trauma and how much that was playing into stuff. 201 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:18,040 I also realized my queer side just really never got a lot of space without being so 202 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:27,480 intoxicated and just using it as kind of this numbing sort of tool and going at it very 203 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,520 unconsciously. 204 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,960 And it's just been really beautiful. 205 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:36,640 I feel like I've healed so many previous layers of myself because of this that just never 206 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,680 got a chance and I've been able to like reverse a lot of shame patterns I had around just 207 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:48,440 my full sense of expression and that side being really important and just knowing what 208 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,960 my mind and body needs on a whole deeper level and knowing how to connect with people in 209 00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,160 the way I want instead of taking it with just how it is, not always putting effort where 210 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,480 you need. 211 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,880 And I think that it's led to the most beautiful discoveries about myself and I feel like I've 212 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,080 been able to connect with Danny and other partners in really intentional ways. 213 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040 And it's just been so healing. 214 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,960 I actually cried last night, just like, it's so beautiful that I have Kat and all these 215 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,660 friendships that I feel like really know all the sides of myself. 216 00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:28,560 And I feel like for so long, especially with how I was raised, I just had so much compartmentalized 217 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,000 that it feels so good to be in this whole new truth. 218 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,760 I feel like so much of that has been able to happen. 219 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,920 So yeah, the emotional intensity of all of it has been turned up to like a thousand. 220 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:50,240 But when I also think about my day to day, I am so happy that there is just so little 221 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,240 walls up. 222 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,440 I feel like I can move through so much, so much more present. 223 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,060 And even though my routine right now is just absolutely crazy, like I wake up at five and 224 00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:06,600 literally don't stop, I feel like until 10, but I've made enough space for self care, 225 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,680 enough space for body movement, enough space for just being able to like slightly nurture 226 00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:17,560 my connections and like keep them going in an intentional way, but not like burn myself 227 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,600 out on any of the stuff. 228 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:26,300 It's just in this like very fragile flow, which is intense, but it's, it's happening. 229 00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:31,560 And I feel really like I can see just once again, just the layers of work and how it's 230 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,820 been able to like shift things for me. 231 00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:39,160 So I think the spring has had some beautiful new excitement. 232 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,480 Danny, he also has his own small business. 233 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,920 It's been doing really well. 234 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,520 And so we just have a little polycule. 235 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,640 That's what you call a whole group of your people in poly, a little polycule. 236 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,920 That's very entrepreneurial. 237 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,560 We're all trying to really dream big and like make things happen. 238 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,520 And I think the group energy behind that has been really nice. 239 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:09,680 So yeah, going into summer, um, talking about like spiritual journey updates and everything. 240 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,280 I know you were just in Sedona. 241 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,080 Um, it looked like just beautiful exploration. 242 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Oh my gosh. 243 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,120 It was unreal. 244 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,840 Like one of the funniest little synchronicities I can say that was like hilarious. 245 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,920 So there was like very clearly I camped on the way down. 246 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,240 I drove, so I kind of made it nomadic and stayed at a bunch of like, um, free land along 247 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,720 the way, but there was a Raven at every single spot I went to like a Raven. 248 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,380 And I was there with my poly partner and we like just kept seeing this Raven. 249 00:14:44,380 --> 00:14:49,720 And then we go into the psychic's office and it's all like Raven themed and there's a Raven 250 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,720 stuffed animal. 251 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,560 And I'm just like, Oh my gosh, it's significance behind Raven. 252 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,880 So much rebirth, like literally wild. 253 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,240 And I was like, had chills when I saw that. 254 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,240 And then, um, she just tunes in is like, Oh, there is so many Ravens and they are like 255 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,360 laughing and there's like a huge thing of like happening right now. 256 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,480 And it's like, it was just so surreal and there was just so many little moments like 257 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,880 that, like the magic of just tuning into nature. 258 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:25,360 I did a little trippy trip and it was so unreal, like the star gazing in the desert and just 259 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,920 remembering the significance of flow and merging with the universe and all the little things 260 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,000 that are just so nice to have time to feel into for a second. 261 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,440 And just remember like, I am a human and it's fucking weird and everything else is just 262 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,560 expansive and beautiful. 263 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,480 And I'm just trying to make as much room for expansion and not die in my little human body. 264 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,440 And that is what we're trying to do here. 265 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,440 Right? 266 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,440 You know? 267 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,440 Yes. 268 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,440 Absolutely. 269 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,760 Oh, well I have a song recommendation I'll have to hit you with after about Ravens. 270 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,760 Yeah. 271 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,560 It's called, if I were a Raven by immersive and it's, it was my song last year. 272 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Hell yeah. 273 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,560 So let's go. 274 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,560 Yes. 275 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Love it. 276 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,000 I recently learned too, that let me back up a little bit. 277 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,840 So at all the music festivals, so Kirsten, one of my best friend and I, we've been having 278 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,400 these crazy telepathic moments like all spring. 279 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,440 And I recently learned that there is something that happens when you spend so much time around 280 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200 somebody and you're on similar wavelengths. 281 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,280 Like it doesn't just happen to anybody, but your brains actually synchronize on frequencies 282 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,680 and you are likely to have telepathic moments. 283 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Absolutely. 284 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,440 And we have been, it's creepy. 285 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,640 It's crazy. 286 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:49,200 So a couple examples from last weekend or two weekends ago at this point, we, so there 287 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,520 was this, we went to the regional burn here in Colorado and it was a blast. 288 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,640 They had this creature adoption station where you fill out an adoption form and it's super 289 00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,640 silly. 290 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,360 There's like, if you could be two animals combined, what would you be? 291 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,080 And so Kyle and I did it together and Kirsten did one for herself and we got these silly 292 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,080 little creatures. 293 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:16,880 Kyle and I was an elephant with a stuffed element, elephant head with a googly eye at 294 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,880 the end of its trunk. 295 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,880 And it's sitting on top. 296 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,880 Third eye, third eye. 297 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,880 Yeah, right. 298 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,880 Third eye trunk. 299 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,880 Or the elephant. 300 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,640 I love it. 301 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,920 And its head is sitting on top of a flower stem that's like bendy. 302 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,920 And so cute. 303 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,200 And then Kirsten's was this like bat with hairy armpits. 304 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,200 Amazing. 305 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,200 Freezing. 306 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,200 It was ridiculous. 307 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,200 So silly. 308 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,440 We were like, we need a name for it. 309 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,120 And so we were both thinking for a sec and she goes, what about Gerald? 310 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:48,680 And I go, oh my God, I was thinking Harold. 311 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,800 And she said, oh my God, I was thinking Harold first. 312 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,120 It has to be Harold. 313 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:57,120 So that was one crazy thing. 314 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,480 And then the next thing I was walking back from the portos one night, the porta potties, 315 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,480 the portal potties. 316 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,480 God always goes into portal potties. 317 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,880 Just so you know. 318 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,880 Yes. 319 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,200 It changes my whole world when I come out. 320 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,240 New person when I emerge. 321 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:17,160 And yeah, I was thinking how, man, I only have gum, but I really want to mint. 322 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,080 I need to ask Kirsten for a mint. 323 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,400 And I get back to the dance floor and she literally has mints in her hand saying, want 324 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,400 one? 325 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,400 Amazing. 326 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,400 Oh my God. 327 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,400 That's so funny. 328 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,400 I love that so much. 329 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,440 There were like five other times that happened at the other festival and it's just like we 330 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,440 are synced. 331 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,440 So beautiful. 332 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,440 To have your people. 333 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,920 And sometimes we'll just be next to each other. 334 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,280 And I'm like, you know, I know what you're thinking, right? 335 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,280 She's like, oh, sorry. 336 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,280 I think about something else. 337 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,280 It's just so silly. 338 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,280 I love it. 339 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,280 So funny. 340 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,280 So that's crazy. 341 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,280 Akashic record reading has been wild. 342 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Just like sitting with it for myself and practicing that. 343 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,280 Same. 344 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,280 I love it. 345 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,280 You too? 346 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,280 Absolutely. 347 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,280 Yeah. 348 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,280 It's been so cool. 349 00:18:53,280 --> 00:19:01,240 So we both did a little Akashic record training and it's just, yeah, and it is, it's a deeply 350 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,240 personal thing. 351 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,880 I feel like I'm going to have to sit with it by myself a long time to kind of learn 352 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,080 the language of all of that, but definitely love continuously growing tools just to hear 353 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,080 the universe. 354 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,680 And I love, also love that when you start connecting with your people more and like 355 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,680 you find your community. 356 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,760 That's what I was crying for last night. 357 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,080 Cause that is so it. 358 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:28,120 I have all these people that like really psychically just like mesh in with my world, my brain, 359 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:29,560 like what I am needing. 360 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720 And it's just all been like so fluid and that's been so nice. 361 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,560 So I love that you've been in that like flow state too. 362 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480 And we've always had that and I love that. 363 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,480 That's why this podcast is so beautiful. 364 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,080 So talking goals for your summer. 365 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:50,200 Do you want to say a little intention so we can tell you guys and then we'll go into a 366 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:56,280 few like actual talks about summer solstice, but you always want to close out the spring. 367 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,300 So for us, we just kind of did a little review and I think journaling all the things that 368 00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:05,520 went down in the timeframe of spring is really important. 369 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,120 Close it out with intention so that when spring comes back around, you have something held 370 00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,680 down that holds that time for you. 371 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,760 And then setting intentions going into a new season is also so important. 372 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,800 Something that you're really like wanting to call in for summer. 373 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,800 Yes. 374 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,680 So as I mentioned, the beginning of spring, the end of summer or the end of spring as 375 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,160 well is just all of spring has been super busy for me. 376 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,160 Yeah. 377 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:38,560 Work was kind of crazy for a while there and with the festivals, the traveling, it's been 378 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,560 pretty crazy. 379 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:46,480 And for me, naturally people in the summer like get really busy, do a ton of stuff, travel 380 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,480 more. 381 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,080 So I'm kind of feeling like, okay, I'm at this place where I've already done so much 382 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,680 this summer and it's like just beginning that I actually want to do less. 383 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:03,160 So my intention for the summer is creating more time to just be and do less. 384 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,820 So there are a couple of things in my life where I'm like, okay, I'm going to put this 385 00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:08,820 down. 386 00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:09,820 Okay. 387 00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:16,240 I'm going to like revisit that in the fall or yeah, just like creating space with Kyle 388 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,560 for a whole free day with no plans with anyone but each other, little date nights here and 389 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,000 there. 390 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,520 Even if it's just like sitting outside having dinner in our backyard, like just more intentional 391 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,880 together time. 392 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:31,880 Yeah. 393 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,880 Creating space this summer. 394 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,880 That's my intention. 395 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,880 I love it. 396 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,880 How about you? 397 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,880 Yeah. 398 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:43,920 I think for me, I want to come out of summer feeling like I really have like good finance 399 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,080 stuff lined up. 400 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:50,560 I think I'm going to use that inner fire energy just to do a really big blast so that in the 401 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:57,280 fall and winter, I can kind of like wind down in more of a way and just utilize this quicker 402 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,800 like kind of energy and flow right now. 403 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,960 I really am hoping to do more in person. 404 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,080 Astrology is like the love of my life. 405 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:11,200 So I definitely have been trying to add in a little bit more astrology stuff and set 406 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,560 seats for my business. 407 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:19,760 I am now like doing a lot of in person retreat offerings and I'm just like setting the seeds 408 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,880 up for a lot of that because no matter where I end up, I know that that's definitely where 409 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,560 I like to put my energy for the long term. 410 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,360 So that's been nice. 411 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:37,640 So I think intention wise is just kind of go into this big fire hustle, let myself really 412 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,080 just own intensity. 413 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:45,240 I have noticed a pattern in myself of when things get really intense. 414 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,840 I also can get into that. 415 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,560 I have Aries in my chart. 416 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,600 I really blame my Aries for that and you have strong Aries too, but I do always want to 417 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,040 just like push things into the next and just like letting that intensity just kind of be 418 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,360 there is important for me. 419 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,720 And I think I just need to kind of ride that out through the summertime. 420 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,680 Sounds like you're channeling fire and I'm channeling water. 421 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280 Yeah, I love that. 422 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,280 So good. 423 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,280 We'll hold each other accountable. 424 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Perfect. 425 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,280 Perfect. 426 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,280 Yeah. 427 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,040 And then letting you guys know. 428 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:22,600 So a few things looking at summer solstice, I will just share just a quick blurb on the 429 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,600 astrology. 430 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,600 So in the summer cancer initiates and start us off. 431 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,160 It's our Cardinal sign that really is like the link of going into your memories, your 432 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,160 family and just like plugging in with the people that you love. 433 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,520 Cancer has a very nurturing element to it. 434 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,400 So summer is actually starting off with a level of nurturing. 435 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,880 So whatever that looks like for you and then as the sun transitions into Leo, we know Leo 436 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,580 is all about fire and creative expression. 437 00:23:52,580 --> 00:23:56,200 It's about play in whatever way that looks like for you. 438 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,080 And Leo naturally is very connected to our inner child. 439 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,160 So finding just the stuff that brings you that sense of creative flow and expression 440 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,720 and outward like release and just showing it off and not holding yourself back. 441 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,320 Leo can do that in so many ways, but that is the energy when the sun is there. 442 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,200 And then we go into Virgo and Virgo helps mutate us from summer into fall. 443 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,000 But Virgo then takes all of that initiation, all of the fire of Leo. 444 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,600 And then Virgo is about kind of cleaning everything up, letting any loose ends kind of tie up and 445 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,440 getting organized. 446 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,460 And yeah, that's our summer season. 447 00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:41,160 So you can ride where the sun is and you're in the sky. 448 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,080 You can monitor just what intentions you want to bring and stay checking in with those as 449 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,400 you go through the summer season. 450 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,160 And then yeah, Kat, you can tell us, we also like to look to nature with summer too. 451 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,160 Yeah. 452 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,160 Yeah. 453 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,240 Great time to just reconnect with nature. 454 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,360 Something I've been really thinking about lately after two music festivals where I've 455 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:08,800 been outside camping for five days each, I've camped probably two weeks now this year and 456 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:16,680 it's not even, it's officially summer now, is that the root of dysfunction, disease, 457 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,760 disharmony is disconnection. 458 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,400 And that disconnection is something that it's like we can have within ourselves, we can 459 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600 have within other people. 460 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,960 It's our disconnection from nature around us. 461 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:35,200 So getting out for a hike, even in the morning, just getting outside, standing in the sun, 462 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,720 tilting your chin up to the sun and allowing a little smile to come across your lips and 463 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:47,640 just thank the sun for the lights and just being in this season of lights can do so much. 464 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:54,280 A little moment of gratitude to sip all that magic in and just start the day from that 465 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,280 beautiful place. 466 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,640 I all know that feeling where that sun hits. 467 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,640 Yeah. 468 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,560 So, summer, nature is always teaching us exactly what we need. 469 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:07,760 So looking at what foods are better in summer, like nature provides the stuff that our body 470 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,640 needs to kind of adjust to its environment. 471 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:16,320 And when you stay in sync with those nature cycles, you also very intuitively can realize 472 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,600 like what it's providing for you. 473 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,020 The earth has our back. 474 00:26:20,020 --> 00:26:21,480 We just get so distracted. 475 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,400 We don't always notice. 476 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,680 So really just being intentional reflect. 477 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,940 We love that summer solstice is also international yoga day. 478 00:26:30,940 --> 00:26:35,760 So as to people that are yoga teachers, I love getting onto the yoga mat. 479 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,480 There's usually a lot of yoga, international stuff going on that you can tune into. 480 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,240 And I always think dropping into the body is a great way to reflect as we enter into 481 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,240 new season as well. 482 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,160 I know you've been big on those 108 sun salutations. 483 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,440 I did that for like five years in a row with the 108, the sacred number. 484 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,120 And we would meet in the park and do that. 485 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:03,000 And the last time my body was like, we can not do 180. 486 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,800 So we'll see where I'm at. 487 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,320 I'm like, I can, I can play with it. 488 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,440 The triceps for those chaturangas 108 times like was a, was a thing. 489 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Whether you're using these or not, like that is a lot. 490 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:16,600 My gosh. 491 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,600 But it was really fun. 492 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,280 We'd get a little jar of 108 marbles and each time you hop to the top of the mat, just move 493 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,280 in a marble. 494 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,360 And it was like such a beautiful ritual I used to do for summer solstice. 495 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:32,080 So yeah, there's so many cool things to plug into, but I think the yoga community usually 496 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,400 offers some really cool stuff. 497 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,840 So you can check around locally and see if that's something you want to lean into too. 498 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,840 That's right. 499 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,280 Check out a sound bath. 500 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,680 Check out pride events. 501 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,920 So many great ways to tap into community. 502 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,800 And we hope that you check out what's going on in your area and let us know you end up 503 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,000 doing. 504 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,760 We're so grateful to share that our fall witch retreat is now full. 505 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,060 Our coven is complete. 506 00:28:01,060 --> 00:28:03,040 We're getting so stoked for that. 507 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:09,240 Um, and yeah, we have one more episode of this season in two weeks. 508 00:28:09,240 -->
