Enjoy every minute of this. Listeners, we're back with a fan favorite, a fan fave, Colette Barron Reed, my soul sister, my spiritual running buddy, long time friend. collaborator. Welcome back to the show, Kala. Thank you. It is such a pleasure to be here. I love you. So I have a very strong agenda for today. Oh, good.

In celebration of your latest deck, every time you come on there's a [00:03:00] new deck, and this is Guides of the Hidden Realm Oracle Deck. We're going to teach people, one I want to, there's a lot of things I want to do, one I want to pull from the deck and I want to just riff on it and see what comes through.

Two, I want to teach people how to read their own oracles. Perfect. Because we have a lot of folks out there that are really into this. And even now, like in my Gabby coaching app, we're putting in card readings. You can pull up the app and there's a card and like every deck, even affirmation decks, tarot decks.

Like, well, the universe has your back is like that too. The universe has your back. Yeah. I love that. the ways to read the deck. Great. That's I've simple, simple guidance. Let's start right there before we even get into the deck. All right. We're just going to hold the deck the whole time. So I know that people, anybody can pick up an Oracle card deck, right?

It's just how you use it. So that's why I think a lot of people who are into it can get confused about what did this mean? And is this predicting something and whatever, [00:04:00] right? And my decks, I believe that the best way to use them and really. You know, unless the deck is created as a predictive tool, these are reflective tools and they're a way for us to see ourselves with clarity when we can't.

And especially when we're, we've been in such a long period of sustained uncertainty. Right. So we have to find somewhere that we could see ourselves reflected. So we know what the next right action is. So I always say, pick one, start with one card and see where that reflects. I'm a big believer in the three card reading.

As you know, I've done this for 36 years, right? So this is my 19th Oracle card deck. So it's, I used to read 21 card spreads and 15 card spreads and really complicated spreads. And I actually have a book at home with 320 that I made up over the years. Right. Okay. But then I realized. That's confusing for a lot of people.

The easiest thing is to take one card, see how it reflects, and then a clarity card, the second card. So the first card I call an anchor card because [00:05:00] it anchors, right? So you're anchoring the subject that spirit wants you to look at. Great. Okay. So that's right. Jack told her. Okay. Yes. Right. The anchor card.

So I say there's an anchor. And then from, you're not even going into it with intention. You're just like, Jack show me. Yeah, show me. Is there a prayer, anything that you might want to say before? Yeah, I always say the serenity prayer. Yes. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

Courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Excellent. And the cards will often reflect that, you know, you know, And they'll reflect sometimes your dominant, well, it'll always reflect your dominant energy. So sometimes when you come in with an intention and the cards don't speak to it, you think they're wrong.

But what they're speaking to is your dominant energy that you need to look at first, especially when people are talking about manifesting, for example, right? Like I teach about that. How do you, how do you co create your reality with the cards? Well, you can't go in and say, I want this because it's like, I, [00:06:00] who do I need to become to have this life?

I say, I want. Right? That's the question I ask in everything that I do. Beautiful. So first step is what do I need to reflect on? Now those cards may say you need to forgive somebody or first or like deal with this first before you go here. You need to clean this up or you need to address this issue and that way too you say what do you, what does spirit want me to know today?

And then when you Get the hang of it. Like an oracle school. I teach people the one card a day in the morning. Say, what do I need to know today? What's coming up? And it's not what's what do you predict for my experience? No, it's like what's the thread of my evolution? Like where am I heading and on the road that i'm on?

What what should I be looking for? Right, right. Yeah. So so the anchor card represents anchoring. You, you're, you drop the anchor, but it's spirit that says your boat stops here, right? Now you get the 360 degree look around. Cool. Right. And then you take the [00:07:00] second card for clarity. So you say, okay, so I'm, I'd like to know more.

I'd like to know more. Then you take the clarity card and then after the clarity card, like I love two card readings, says two is good enough for me. And then the third card could be, is there more, or what else do I need to know, or what is my next right action. Right action, right. So I mean, there's an, I, there's, there's.

The three card reading has so many different potential ways in which you can use it, but that's the simplest way for anybody to use the cards in order for them to be successful with them. And you want people to get a win, right? Like people like my cards because I know how to teach them how to use them, right?

It's like, this is how you get your win. And then you start seeing the evidence in the outer world. Why? Because You start to notice this conversation that you've just had with your, you know, this is to me is an intermediary. It's a divine dialogue You know, that's the phone. That's the navigator. That's the flashlight.

That's the shovel. [00:08:00] That's the you know, the light and the dark so Then you have okay. So now Will I see this? And you start to notice the out picturing of this in your daily life, right? So then you start to see that you start to trust it more. So then you do it again. What I like to warn people about and is discourage them is until they're You know, it's fine to have an intention, but if the cards don't speak to the intention, look at that first.

Don't throw them away and saying they're wrong. Don't pick another card because you don't like what you got. Oh yeah, that's right. Right? Sit with what you got. Sit with it. Sit with it. Inquire about it. Inquire, the inquiry, right? Or be open. to what it will reveal because you might not know in that moment what the message is.

But yes, two days later, you could be like, Oh my God, that was my card. And I always tell people to journal, especially when they're new at the cards to like, just run a journal and stay curious. Our superpower is curiosity. It's not [00:09:00] intention. It's curiosity. We can set the intention, but then we have to let go the form.

We have to let go the, when there's so much letting go. I start setting intentions once I've figured out where, where am I at right now? Yeah. Right. And then I say, okay, this, now I go, so after the first three cards, then you can go in with intentions. If you, again, like this is my whole life. So it's like, I'm a little bit, but to keep it simple, right.

You know, start there. And, and, you know, I mean, obviously we can set the intention for our life, but people go off the rails when things don't happen fast enough, when they don't happen in the form that they expect, when, and they don't look at what else there is because they're so attached. It's attachment.

So you have to kind of get used to surrendering attachment. I think this whole practice practice of surrender. Absolutely. So you're starting with the serenity prayer, right? Yeah. You also said something which was so interesting. You said, we've been in this sort of [00:10:00] sustained uncertainty, uncertainty, boom.

I was like, holy she's so right. We're in sustained uncertainty. And we're going to keep being there. We will stay there. Mm hmm. And so we need spiritual guidance, right? Because guides are working through the deck. Those that particular deck for sure. We can talk about that in a minute, but okay, okay. But you're right.

And if you're someone that wants to work with your guides, I always ask my guides to reveal to me what I need to know through these decks. Is that something that you recommend? So this particular deck, the guides showed up for me and I painted the guides that came to me, right? So I actually translated their imagery.

So and they came in. independent of me and are everyone's guides. But if people have a particular personal relationship to guides in general, but not everybody does, some people really like to ask their angels. Some people like to ask their grandmother, their ancestors. So yeah, if, if that is a practice that makes you feel good.

Yeah. Right. Me, my guides are, Like, [00:11:00] is Consciousness with a capital C, S with a capital S for me. So I don't ask any specific guide that have been with me since, I don't. But lots of people do. So yeah, if it's, if it's your thing, you go do that because that will help it.

I think to back to your point, if you have a connection to guides, they are also a reflection of that universal energy. 100%. So it's They're all part of it. All part of it. You know, like I had a relationship to, I don't know if you ever read, in my book Uncharted, I, after I did my TV show and I had done so much mediumship in a month, like I was a basket case at the end of it.

Like I didn't know which way my, my shoes were, right? So it was like, and I kept hearing this guy. Chorus of voices and I thought they were still more dead people that I didn't connect with on this [00:16:00] show So I'm calling John Holland. I don't know what to do I you know Like this this keeps going on in my head and they Kept coming and they sang and they like hummed in my head and I'm like, oh my god And then they took me to this whole crazy thing of showing me this pictures and using my own process to get me to follow the crumbs.

Like anyway, so then I saw all these images from Wayne's world. I never saw the movie. It was so bizarre because I never saw the film and I'm like, okay, who is, who is this character? It was Garth. And then they, they kept saying Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred. I'm like, your name is Fred? Like, can I get like Galadriel?

or Archangel Michael. No, I get Fred. And so they were around me for quite a while. And then they just disappeared. Yeah. So I have, I have odd intermittent relationships to guides, but when they're there, boy, do I ever like to talk to them, but they're very funny. Mine are like my grandmother is one of my guides.

And she came into me to a dream the other night. I remember what she was, what we were [00:17:00] doing. She was so loud in this dream, loud girl, loud, loud, young, young lady now. Yeah. I want to do a three card reading. Sure. Right here, right now. Sure. Now you, do you want to do it on a subject? Cause I'd love them to learn, you know, also how to, we can do it.

What does spirit want you to know, but you could also do it. Here's a subject that I'm curious about and we'll find out if they want to reflect it or do they just want to tell you anything? I like this anchor idea. Great. Because. I don't want to put an agenda on it. Great. And so to teach, we want to teach you now through this reading how to use these cards.

Great. Let's do that. So I'm going to say the serenity prayer. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Perfect. I will add, thank you guidance of the highest truth and compassion for entering into this reading to reveal to me whatever I need to know that is important to me.

Uh, the high is good for all that effect. Now you're going to [00:18:00] want to shuffle them so that they go upright and, and so you turn them around. Okay. So you want to mix them, right? So I like to corkscrew mix them like that. Yeah. You can just mix them like that. Or sometimes I just throw them on a table, a table top.

Okay. So what's the, what's the purpose of this is so cool that they can learn through the experience. So if you're not watching, I've got this beautiful card deck. It's got pink clouds on the cover, which I painted. It's so pretty. Colette. Thank you. I actually want this pink cloud. And I'm, I'm pink clouding it and then mixing and shuffling.

Yep. And you want me to shuffle a lot? And what's the purpose of that? You shuffle them to actually put your energy into the cards, but also to engage the energy of the guides that I, that are in the cards, because this is guides of the hidden realms. So it is, these are depictions of guides that came to me that are now there for everyone else.

Great. So they want to talk to you. Anchor. Ha ha. So that was, that was. Metamorphosis. Metamorphosis. In the in [00:19:00] between. So that was upside down. Oh, okay. I saw it. So when it's upside down. So when it's upside down. It's got butterflies on it. Yes, it is about transformation and metamorphosis. So you're going to want to get the guidebook because I want to show people exactly how to do this, right?

Because I'm a big believer in, well, I mean, I wrote them all, but don't just guess like there's a, there's a message and maybe only one sentence will stick out, but maybe that'll be it. More things. Oh, this is so cool. I mean, it already resonates with me. The time between what was and what will be is what?

And oh, by the way too, if anybody's listening and it sounds like this message is for you. It's for you. Okay, cool. Yeah, it's for you. Right? So pay attention. It's called a cleadon, and whatever Gabby and I say could actually be what it called a cleadon. I know it's not a Klingon, right? a cleadon

And it is a phenomena that was accepted in classical Greek culture for 1400 years. This was something people expected that the god Apollo [00:20:00] would provide an innocent reading for you by having someone else talk and you overhear it and it's exactly answers your message. Cleadon. That's what it's called. Yes.

Great. Great. Lesson. Yes. Very cool. Okay. So the time between what was and what will be is one that most of us try to avoid It's uncomfortable yet. It can be a rich experience You're neither here nor there who you were or who you want to become yet But this period is essential to understanding who you are at your core Uh your truest values and what drives you to your destiny when your old life no longer serves you and you've already begun the process Of becoming a new version of yourself Ask, who do I need to become to have the experience I say I want?

Isn't that funny that I just said that earlier? What has to change? Who do I need to become? What has to change? What can I take with me and what do I need to discard? So you're in a house cleaning mode. It's important to see the past as a gift. Honor what was [00:21:00] and take its pearls with you for they are the treasures you will need when you cross into the adventure of the uncharted future and discover your new self.

Love it. Love it. So you guys can see that the reverse cards are not scary. They're just, I just didn't have enough room there. 80, I needed 88. So what does it mean when a card is pulled upside down? So that when it's pulled upside down, it means that you're going to get gentle guidance, a little more kinder guidance.

It's like the universe wants to give you a hug to say, Hey, we want to make sure that you're going to navigate this moment. With a little more grace and and and love and compassion. So the whole theme of this deck is compassionate guidance That's what they told me. It's good for me. Yeah, so for you Do you want me to keep going with it or just go with the cards?

Yeah So this is about getting ready for this next iteration of your service That's what I feel. So And I know you've got this incredibly fantastic new book coming out, which is great. [00:22:00] And it's just like you're coming to a new place. Again, it's of service. How do I want to serve? Who do I want to serve?

And what kind of life do I want? It's all this question, like, how do I have the balance between what I love and what brings me bliss and well, how I serve without burning out? That's the other piece, right? It's the burnout piece. So would you like to take the second card? So that's your anchor. That's so basically this.

So what is an anchor? An anchor anchors a subject, a theme, right? So what does spirit want to say to you? Let's pick the second card. Let's get more clarity. Great. This is awesome. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. This is so cool. Cause they're learning through this experience. This is so cool. This is my favorite way to teach too, is by doing a reading with somebody else.

Yeah. Oh my gosh, you're such a cool teacher. I love you so much. Okay. I just love you, period. I just love you, period. And you're just so, match your deck right now. Okay. Here we are. Open mindedness, perspective, nuance, and complexity. This and that is true? Are true. Oh, this and that are true. You got that one.

Okay. [00:23:00] So flames from, it looks like the menopause. It's the menopause. Yeah. Well, actually the, the paintings are, I have a hot flash. I'm serious. Having perimenopause. Yeah. Yeah. I believe you. I've been there. Sitting there. Hang on. I can't remember what number that is. What number is it? It's a 35. Okay, perfect.

Yeah, and actually if you saw those paintings in real life, they don't show up like that on the, on the photographs because we had to photograph them to be on cards, but I paint in matte and metallic. So all the blue is a very pale blue metallic. And when you walk by the painting, it, the, the flames light up and the blue goes, yeah, it's very cool.

Okay. I feel right now. Okay, here it is within you are all manner of contradictions. You are not just one thing You are both and lit up hidden in shadow happy grieving free confined elated Dejected effervescent dull and so on The world is similarly full of complexity with so many opposing [00:24:00] perspectives that it appears no one agrees on an objective reality at all.

It's essential to remain open minded and receptive to learning, sorry, before dismissing others as foolish or worse dangerous. Good for me. If you allow yourself to listen deeply without judgment, and remember your whole no, no judgment book, you will understand that many opposing ideas and opinions can coexist simultaneously and be correct and true from the standpoint of the experiencer.

And you're a Scorpio and you're an eight, so that can be difficult when you know what you know, right? You think you're right all the time. Yeah, you know what you know. Anyway, this is my team is laughing. Oh, yeah. This situation is not a time for choosing sides, but for respectful cooperation Okay, okay Can you reach across the chasm and find a mutually beneficial solution?

Even conflicting creative concepts can be made into something innovative and special Be a builder of bridges rather than barriers, which is what you stand for. Yeah, but it's really good advice for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, good, but [00:25:00] I'm just saying like, yeah, I'm just, I stand for it, but I can also be, be very much the, the forceful kind of, this is what I know is true.

Open minded collaboration, exploration, and experimentation are called for here. So this is actually really, really good because what it indicates is part of the, and I kind of summarize this when it comes to between those two cards together, the anchor and that is about allowing yourself to change your mind, right?

It goes, kind of gets a simple thing like let yourself give yourself permission to change your mind about something and don't make a big deal about it. So you know what? I'm not going to do that naturally. Yeah. I don't need to be so. you know, definitive, maybe I could be open to something else. So just kind of give yourself permission to is what it's saying, because you are in a huge transition.

That's what that's about. Right. And, and how do you navigate that? And we'll have you give you a lot less stress. Great. It's also part of it. This and that are true.[00:26:00]

So I'm off to Portugal in a few weeks for my well deserved family vacation. I do this once a year. It's the only time I really shut things off and just chill.

If you've been following me on social media, you know that I am going all in on my 44 year old body. I am getting toned. I'm getting the muscle in. I'm sweating, sweating, sweating so that I can get the toxins out.

And with all that sweat, I have to rehydrate. It has a high priority for me. So that is why I'm thrilled that today's sponsor is Element. This is my all time favorite way to hydrate. Hydration isn't just [00:28:00] about drinking water, my friends. It's about electrolytes. Electrolyte deficiency or imbalance can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue, brain fog, weakness.

I was feeling my muscles were hurting when I wasn't electrolyting. And Element is the best because it's zero sugar. And it's born out of the research that points to the fact that optimal health actually occurs at the sodium levels, two to three times government recommendations. So, I stick to this as a daily practice.

I have my element before I sweat, before I go in the sauna, before I, you know, do a workout. I also tend to get very dehydrated. So this is so important for me. So many professionals are using this Olympic athletes. Some of my friends that are like really extreme athletes are using it. I swear by it. And I love that you just have to throw it in a little water and it's delicious.

It tastes like lemonade or whatever flavor you choose. So get your free element sample pack with any purchase at drinklmnt.com/Gabby. that's drinklmnt.com/Gabby. [00:29:00] Also try the elements Sparkling. A bold 16 ounce can of sparkling electrolyte water. Love it.

Now, do you want to go next right action or more information? More information. Okay. I'm having so much fun. Oh my God. This is just so, I mean, this is the most selfish show about. I love it. I love it. Yes. But we are teaching everybody who's listening and they might listen. They might hear something too, right?

Where you are fully in service to a higher calling. That's right. It is a true surrender, a self forgetting with access to the transformative power to make such an [00:31:00] extraordinary change. I can't even believe I wrote this. Anyway, there's a profound and simple prayer that illuminates this. Thy will be done through me.

Relieve me of the bondage of self so that I may better do thy will. That's really, really, really right on. I surrender my will to thine. Use me as thou wilt. Amen. I actually say that after, before every reading, I just, it was just too long to say. It reminds us that we're all here because the universe needs to experience life through us.

Yeah. Right? We're here to channel the universe, right? Trust in the invisible world and remember that your personal efforts or what you see in the material world are not the. Source of your supply when you remember God or spirit of the conscious universe or whatever you choose to call divine intelligence is the source of your supply.

You will see the synchronicities drawing forth abundance beyond your imagination, beyond your intention. You are being invited to remember the sacred technology now. Surrender your wants, your [00:32:00] goals, and your desires to a higher power, and watch the miracles unfold. Keep walking and trust with all your heart.

Amen. Yeah. So it's just really a reminder of what you already know. The secret technology. Is that what you said? Yeah. I mean, it's the technology that we have is, is, is surrender. Surrender and curiosity. Yeah. Yeah. That's the technology. Yeah. And we're, when we don't let go, it's because we're scared we're not going to get what we want.

Most people come to oracle cards, come to the idea with these three questions. What's going on? Where am I, where is it heading? And am I going to get what I want? That's what the three that think about it, right? What's going on? Where's this going? And am I going to get what I want? But that's not the, that's not the point.

It's, I could get better. Yes. That's right. It's like, this or something better now manifest for me in divine appropriate timing. Because of the sustained uncertainty everybody's in, we tend to initially go to fear. Like, Oh God, there's all this crap going on in the world. Am I going to [00:33:00] get this? Oh my God.

Like, you know, how, how, and then it's nobody's fault. It's because there's a part of our brain that's been turned off. Yeah. Right. We turn all of us turned into chicken little. You know, that's such a cool thing that you just said. So there's a part of our brain that's been turned off, but those of us who have turned on that right brain's creative capacity, that psychic connection, the mediumship connection, the spiritual connection, we all have access to it.

We just have to turn it back on. Yeah. When we have that on, living is very, is very free. It's very different. And we don't see the world the same way. It's like we are literally living in a different. There's that, that line from A Course in Miracles, there's a way of living in the world that is not here, though it seems to be.

That's right. You smile more frequently, your eyes are serene, your forehead is serene. It's, it's that. It's, it's that there is, there is another way of living. You can, it's living in the happy dream. Yeah. And we will all though, one thing that I know to be true, even I teach this, I live there most of the time, but we are all going to fall [00:34:00] prey to spiritual narcolepsy.

We just are. We're going to fall asleep. That trick is, is to not be asleep for long, come back fast, to come back faster each time. And that's why I think now, and that's probably why so many people are interested in the card decks now is because they're like, Oh, I need something. I need a tool and that'll help snap you out of it and get to keep you on track.

It's this constant. Okay. Cause even at the end of the day, sometimes it's all that card said that would have, that I was going to deal with this and I didn't, or like two days later, like you said, it's, it's, there's a, there's a timeframe to just keep doing it. So keep that conscious contact to a higher power every day, right?

That's, that's what this is about too. How do I do that? This is just another tool. It's a form of prayer. Yeah, it is. It's a surrender. So, if you surrender, people say, I don't know how to surrender. Surrender to the cards. Yeah. Put your hands on the cards. Put your energy into the cards. Ask the cards to reveal to you.

What you need to know rather than tell me what I want to know. Totally. And, but [00:35:00] I also don't blame people in that, that they want to know, tell me what I want to know. Cause that's where people start. I always tell people, Hey, it's okay that you started here, but let, let's, let me teach you something better.

Yeah. You know, I wouldn't, shaming people doesn't work, it doesn't work. It certainly doesn't help us change. And we need all the help we can get right now. Yeah. You know, I think that there's so many different spiritual technologies that are available to people. And they need to know where to get them and where, what they are and how to work with them.

And you, my love, are such a divine conduit through which the messages come, but also the teacher of how to receive the messages. Mm-Hmm. . I just love it so deeply and I wanna close with that card reading. Well we can recap mine really quick just 'cause I wanna Sure. Recap it for myself. A call to transformation metamorphosis in the in-between, so for me what this meant was really sort of being the witness of this transformational time and not trying to push past or [00:36:00] control it, just being in it.

And I really do feel that it's a big metamorphosis for me right now. I am not totally sure exactly where I am in this moment as I, I feel that I'm in, I'm a developmental state. Right. I do too. Me too. I'm exactly the same as you.

I literally feel like I'm having a chrysalis. Yeah. Yeah. I feel the exact same way. Just so you know, you're not alone. And then, and then I feel like I'm, I'm burning up in the inside. Open mindedness, perspective, nuance, and complexity. This and that are true. This is so right for me. I have a lot of clarity and authority.

At the same time, I need to listen more and I want to listen more. I want to bring in all perspectives and this and that are true. And then my true source of power is this divine will integrity power versus force. And for me, what I think I'm taking from this Colette is that the ways that I was of having to [00:37:00] use my power or sort of unconsciously use power are over.

And the, my true power lies in, in my alignment and grace. Yeah, that's so true. There's a lot that is. That is great about this. And I, I also, I also definitely want to pull a card for the community, for the people, for the people. Do you want to shuffle the people card? Yeah, I'll do the people. Okay. Was there something you wanted to say?

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what's really also something to recognize when you're working with this particular card deck, you may only get one sentence out of it that pertains to you, but it should confirm something. You should feel witnessed. You should feel witnessed. Yeah, like that's what I want for anyone using this particular deck.

I do. Yeah So shall I write do a read for everybody? Please do. Okay So what i'd love you guys to do before I do this Is i'm going to choose two cards and the two [00:38:00] cards are going to let us know From today, from the day that you are interested in listening to this podcast, even if it's a year from now. A hundred years.

Yeah. A hundred years from now. A hundred. That'd be cool. It will be cool. It'll be on Mars. You're going to Mars. We might be, but energetically we won't. So what do we all need to know for our collective highest good, as well as our individual, of how to work with this energy in the next six months, right?

For the highest good. Oh, love and partnership. And the clarity card is transformation, the love and partnership card. And I'm not going to read it from the guidebook. I'm just going to tell you what it is. It really is about Loving one another and remember that love is the answer to everything, you know partnership We don't do this world by ourselves. We are intrinsically connected to each other and we need to start recognizing that and that I am in you, you are in me.

And that rather than divide see what divides us find out what brings us together, [00:39:00] you know, what is our common Common goal because it doesn't matter our ideologies our politics, you know what we eat whatever at the end of the day You We are part of a species that is in an evolutionary phase that's moving into, especially now with the age of Aquarius has finally happened.

It's about the collective. It's no longer about just the individual. So how do you as an individual serve the collective? It's finding more love and give it and receive it. Beautiful. Yeah. And then this one I call to transformation on the upright is all about the fact that sometimes Really quickly about the butterfly.
Butterflies don't all of a sudden become a butterfly. The caterpillar has to die to itself inside its cocoon.

You know, there's parts of it, the imaginal cells of a butterfly, have to let go of an identity. That little Caterpillar was so happy eating leaves with his fuzzy friends is now sick inside this cocoon and we've all been [00:40:00] sick Inside this cocoon as a species and as you know And people who listen to your podcast or watch you etc are all here because they share something in common They want to be better people.

They want to show up better in the world. They want to deeper connection to spirituality. That's why they're here. That's why they follow you. So this is, this is a reminder that some of it's going to be painful because we have to let go the things that don't work anymore. Let go people, places, things, you know, that are no longer appropriate for the new growth.

And that's okay. And so it's not going to be, you know, the most beautiful ride. It is, but parts of it are going to be. A little bumpy. Beautiful. Yeah. That's so cool that it came back twice. Right? Yep. It's really beautiful. So great. I hear it very deeply. I think that's good. Oh, Collette, this is so cool. And then inside the deck you say, accept the sacred partnership of the guides and awaken to more than you ever thought possible, your true path, your purpose, your power, and your potential.[00:41:00]
