135. Harnessing Spiritual Strength: How to Embrace Your Inner Light
55 Plays17 days ago
In this episode of the Spiritual Fitness podcast, host Eric Bigger explores the concept of spiritual strength with Alea Lovely, an accomplished spiritual philosopher and podcast host. They delve into Alea’s journey from a religious upbringing to a broader spiritual awakening, discussing how these experiences shaped her identity and outlook on life. Alea shares her “Imagine” method, a transformative approach to overcoming limiting beliefs and unlocking one's potential. With humor and wisdom, they explore love, fear, ego-driven desires, and the importance of aligning with one’s true self. This episode offers profound insights on embracing the spiritual journey and realizing your desires while navigating both personal and societal challenges.
Also in this episode:
- The journey of personal and spiritual awakening is deeply personal and non-linear, often requiring the courage to let go of societal expectations and embrace authentic desires.
- Alea’s "Imagine" method serves as a structured approach to understanding and manifesting one's true desires by addressing both spiritual and practical challenges.
- Fear acts as a significant barrier to spiritual growth, but confronting and understanding it leads to an expanded consciousness and authentic living.

Guest Introduction: Aaliyah Lovely
00:00:43
Speaker
We back again with another episode and I am so honored to be here with Miss Aaliyah Lovely. She's a spiritual philosopher. She's also the podcast host for Spiritual Shit. We're definitely going to talk about it all today. There's a new book It's a meaningful manifestation.
Aaliyah's Journey to Podcasting
00:01:00
Speaker
We're going to talk about her formula to manifest things. And we're just going to get into the subconscious, the higher conscious of her and what she brings to this world. With people listening, I met this woman on an airplane when I was listening to her podcast. And it's amazing how the universe works. And she's here today on Spiritual Fitness Podcast. Aaliyah, how are you?
00:01:20
Speaker
I am so, so good, Eric. Thank you so much for having me. I think that it was so serendipitous that we were able to connect the way that we did. So I'm pumped. Let's do it. Yeah. So let's get into it. like Let's talk about spiritual shit, right? That's the name of your podcast. Where did that come from? How did you even get to that point to even have the bandwidth, the authenticity say, this is my podcast. This is what it is.
00:01:44
Speaker
Yeah, so I've been tapped in since I was little, but I was raised very religious. And because I was raised really religious, there wasn't a lot of place for the things that I was experiencing. And so those experiences started to really pop up a lot more in my early 20s. And I was having a really hard time like finding community.
00:02:06
Speaker
And the things that I was experiencing, like new age stuff had kind of taken off or whatever, but it was still very white and still very love and light. And I was like, I just don't feel like I have my people to connect to. And my friends were tired of hearing about my ghost stories and things like that. And I was like, there has to be something more. So in a week's time, seven different people came to me and they were like, you should start a podcast. You should be talking about this on a podcast. And I was like, everybody's got a podcast. I don't even listen to podcasts.
00:02:34
Speaker
And that seventh one, it kind of pushed me and I was like, okay,
The Unique Voice of Spiritual Shit
00:02:38
Speaker
I hear you universe. I need to follow this nudge. And I was sitting in my 2005 Volvo, parking my car, getting ready to get into my apartment. And I heard spiritual shit.
00:02:49
Speaker
just heard it. They said, this is the name of your podcast. and At first, I was like, oh man, yeah, that is dope. But then I floated it around to a few of my friends and they were like, do you sure you want to lead with that? like Sure you want it to be profanity? and I was like, you know what? This is the voice that I think spirituality needs right now. and I feel that there are a lot of people who don't align with where it was five, 10 years ago, and being able to create space where I'm a little irreverent.
00:03:17
Speaker
I like to joke around a little bit and things that don't feel so stuffy. and So I was like, I'm just going to do it and it's just for me. It's you know for me to find my community. I didn't expect for it to take off the way that it did.
00:03:30
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean, I'm big on energy, I'm big on frequency. So when I want to go search
Impact of Aaliyah's Podcast on Eric
00:03:35
Speaker
in the podcast database as I'm born to flight, your image, your name on your podcast, stuck out to me. I said, oh, I think I put in like Leo Mid Heaven or like astrology, spiritual shit came up and I listened. And that conversation changed my life in the moment because I actually wanted to take Deborah Silverman's. But this is how I try to tell people sometimes in life,
00:04:00
Speaker
we might think we're ready for something, but we're not. And so back to the show notes, you did the episode of 2021. I went to her website. I was like, damn, I don't see anything on her bio about you know taking the first class. However, you were just so authentic. You were so raw. I found out that you had an Aries moon and you was a cancer son and then a Scorpio rising. I was like, oh, she's really real and she's really raw. She's going to help you grow and she can help you evolve because the people who are the rawest and the realest help you the most in life.
00:04:30
Speaker
That's your energy. I feel like I've known you for some time. And here we are today talking about all these things. But let's get into crystals because I went on your YouTube and never heard of, maybe I have and I just
Exploring the Energy of Crystals
00:04:42
Speaker
didn't know. I think the crystal name is Moldivite. Can you express what that is and how beneficial that crystal is or crystals in general?
00:04:51
Speaker
Listen, so I love crystals. I do think that crystals hold energy and whatever energy you feel resonance with can help assist and being able to help you expand. Basically, I really enjoy being able to play with the energy of crystals. And um, moldabyte in particular was really helpful in assisting my awakening. Like, and when I say awakening, I kind of hate that term because everybody's like, Oh, I'm awakening. But it's literally like you coming into a new version of yourself and evolving.
00:05:17
Speaker
But it's not a beginner crystal. It's definitely a crystal that is there for rapid change. It's time to accelerate you and get you into the next space. So if you're comfortable with, you know, your entire life falling apart so you can get where you need to go quickly, then great. You know, that's the crystal for you. If you're not, just a softer, you know, maybe start with a rose quartz or something.
00:05:39
Speaker
So it's a very spiky like feeling. New Might also has a similar, almost more intense feeling. and you know I'm really into jewelry and stuff like that. Gold holds a very particular frequency, sapphires and so on. So I love playing with crystals and utilizing them, especially in the home. like As staples for energy, I put selenites over my window seals and like my daughter, I put certain crystals underneath her bed. Yeah, I love them.
Spiritual Awakenings and Transformation
00:06:05
Speaker
Yeah, and I think you said something about awakening, right? Let's talk about that. Also speaking on astrology, I just found out two weeks ago about annual perfections. So annual professions is the thing you have every year of your life based on your age. So last year I was in my 12 year cycle, which was woof, I went to a spiritual awakening.
00:06:23
Speaker
It was intense. I'm like, God, what is this? Is this my life? Oh, it woke me up so much. It led me to do Kakao and Joshua Tree to go to Peru. and What I discovered was, for one, most people, if they're not in this line of work, they don't understand awakenings or healing or evolving.
00:06:41
Speaker
What is the best way for someone to get through a spiritual awakening? and Why does it happen? like My soul just felt like it was gone. When I had like this new energy come in, I let go. I thought I was going to lose everything, honestly. I was scared. Really, spirituality helped me. but What should someone do? Because I think a lot of people in these times are going through a lot of internal warfare. They don't know what to do because they don't have the tools or they don't have the awareness.
00:07:07
Speaker
Yeah, I think what makes it really difficult when we're going through one of those evolutionary processes is we're always trying to hold on and we're not willing to let go in order to move into the next space that the universe, God, whoever you identify with is trying to take you in. And so the evolutionary process can feel difficult if you think about a caterpillar in a butterfly situation, right? Like it has to break out of that cocoon in order to get the strength to fly.
00:07:36
Speaker
But I do feel that sometimes when we think our life is falling apart, it is really coming together. I've had these tower moments happen almost nearly every year. Just the surrender process, like really literally being like, all right, universe, like for me, my phrase is, whatever you have for me, I want whatever you have for me.
00:07:55
Speaker
And it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have desires, but like, for instance, like this book, everybody thinks this is my first book. This is my third book. And the first two books bombed horrendously. And not because I thought they were bad books. Well, the first one was, but I didn't have the reach or I didn't have the publisher, you know, whatever the thing was and me feeling in a way that I was, you know, I'm not good enough or like nobody likes me or, you know, like whatever the things that we tell ourselves when we feel
Overcoming Failures and Embracing Growth
00:08:22
Speaker
like we have failed at something, but they weren't failures.
00:08:24
Speaker
they were very much me getting the stepstones and the experience to build and be able to pull together what I've pulled together this time. And so it's like, a hindsight is always 20-20, but while you're in it, it's, I've learned, because, you know, universe is actually sometimes really hard on me because I think they just want content for my podcast.
00:08:42
Speaker
So I find myself in these positions where I become really neutral, really fast, where it's like, all right, okay, I don't have any control over the situation. So let me let go and let me let being in that space of being open to what the universe has for you. I think that that is really hard space to be in because I mean, look at our world right now. Like, you know, there's all kinds of stuff. People are getting really upset and angsty and it's like, I can't control this.
00:09:07
Speaker
yeah I have to be in a space of love and gratitude and like be in this matrix at the time to have these evolutionary experiences that help my soul grow. So I have to be able to let go. Yeah. And I think the biggest thing that we're surrender let go is so common, but what does letting go look like and what does that feel like in your body or in your nervous system when you think about it? Because I think most people want to let go. I want to let go, but I don't know how One example, I was supposed to move to Paris, and I had a visa planned out. I was living in New York at the time, and i trying to trust my intuition, I was like, I know that I'm supposed to move to Paris. I've done all the praying and meditating or whatever. This is what I want. This is what I desire. Universe, make it happen. In New York, it's really hard to get an apartment, as I'm sure it is in LA. You have to like have all this money, and like your firstborn child signed off away. And so there just being this like
00:10:02
Speaker
I can't let go of my apartment while my landlord is being like, are you going to re resign for next year? And I'm like, I don't know yet because I haven't received my visa approval yet. And her pressuring me and me saying, okay, like I have to trust that the universe has my best and highest in mind. So I'm going to let my apartment go in faith that I'm going to be able to get this visa. So two weeks after I let my apartment go and I move out into a friends while I'm waiting, I get the visa rejection.
00:10:29
Speaker
It was just still one of those moments of like, you know, those Alfred Hitchcock movies where the camera like can't like, ah, like, you know, you feel really disassociated and detached from your reality. And it feels so surreal because that meant like immediately then I was homeless. I had nowhere to go except back home to Kansas City, a place I said I would never move.
00:10:48
Speaker
back to and just this feeling of like, I failed. Like I fucked my life up and I had everything going for me. I was very stressed where I was at, but, and then having to return like what I felt like was to the beginning. And it's like, well, now I have my tail between my legs, having to move in with a friend, having to figure out what I'm going to do while I'm there.
Surrendering to the Universe's Plan
00:11:09
Speaker
And the thing is, is that in that process, I was having to vet what my desire was. Why did I want to move to Paris?
00:11:16
Speaker
Well, I wanted to move to Paris because Paris is fucking cool, but like I wanted to move to Paris because I thought it would be easier to find love there. And like I was having a really hard time in the dating scene in New York. I didn't feel like anyone loved to me. Like I had had a much better experience being in another country. And, you know, I had the rose colored glasses on, really. And I was idealistically, I'm a photographer, too. I would get there and I would be able to make money and hustle like I was able to make it in New York.
00:11:42
Speaker
And I end up returning back to Kansas City thinking like, well, this was the mistake. Well, then I had my spirit guide come to me and really kind of like hold me accountable and say, why did you really want to move there? Because I want to learn French, why are they so... No, no, no. Why do you really want to live there? Like what you formed is a scarcity belief of a desire that you're trying to push forward, which is not necessarily in your highest and best good.
00:12:06
Speaker
They said to me, and it's so crazy the way it said, in four years, if you weren't married and had the children in the house or whatever, would you have thought that moving to Paris was a mistake? and I'm hearing this in my head, right and I'm going, in four years, that'd be a long time for me to be there and not get the thing that I wanted. and They're kind of giving me this reality check. so I was like, yeah, I guess you're right. Fine spirit, I was mad.
00:12:29
Speaker
And exactly to the time, four years later, you know, I meet my husband, I have the baby, I get this amazing house, like my career takes off. And I would not, sure that I would not have been doing podcasting, writing a book or anything like that. If I was living in Paris, I would probably stuck to photography.
00:12:45
Speaker
That was a great story because that's exactly the vibration I was in last year. I was so afraid. like I thought I was going to lose everything I created. Like, oh my God, I was losing myself. And it's so weird. Aaliyah, when I surrendered and I said, I said, fuck it. You know what? yeah They got, if you take everything, cool. like I'm with it. Just let go. I had did a show in New York and I came home and I was by myself. I was sick. I
Eric's Personal Miracles
00:13:08
Speaker
think I was having like a body upgrade or something. I was in a relationship. I got rid of all of my past friends. And then next thing you know,
00:13:15
Speaker
Magic happened. Yeah. And I was just like... okay I guess I'm not going back home to Baltimore after 13 years in LA. I guess I'm going to renew my lease. Stings, I think it's such a beautiful testament to having faith because we are the ones, you know if if I'm not mistaken, you went for it. You know you jumped out there, you went to New York and you chased your dream, you went for how you felt. and I think that's what I want people listening to know that you're not a woman who just have a podcast and a book and a baby.
00:13:45
Speaker
No, you went through the tough moments. You learned, you earned, you gained, you evolved and became this woman that people listen to what I'm telling you. We're manifesting this now. We're about to get into the conversation of meaningful manifestation, but this woman will have her own show. People will be listening to her.
00:14:02
Speaker
I'm in energy right now. She has the aura. She has the presence that she is supposed to be speaking to the masses with love, with joy and with authenticity. So that was a meaningful manifestation that you didn't make it to Paris that you had to come back home to candidacy to be this woman that you are today. Yeah. So speaking on that, let's talk about how meaningful it is to have a manifestation. And what does that all mean? And let's take us through this book.
Inspiration Behind Aaliyah's New Book
00:14:29
Speaker
So the kickoff of his book was from the passing away of my aunt. She had passed in her early 50s and the thought that, I mean, it was really sudden and very tragic. And the thought that I had was, did she have a good life? That's all I could ruminate on, is did she have a good life? Like, did she feel satisfied with what she had completed in her short few years here? How did she feel about that? And it really struck me because I think like we're so often caught up in capitalism and like what we're supposed to do next, and this is what success looks like, and more followers, and it's like it's not making me happy. I do a lot of studies in NDEs and religion and and like all that kind of stuff, but I started thinking about end-of-life studies and like what people would say when they got to the end of their life. like What did they regret? What were they happy about? and A lot of times people will come through and say,
00:15:22
Speaker
I wish I had been more authentic. I wish I'd told that person I loved them. I wish I'd spent more time with my kids instead of chasing that career. I wish I had done things that are more meaningful that nobody's saying, like, I wish I had that yacht. I wish I had more followers. I wish I got this and this and this. And so knowing that, I said, okay, I need to write out five maxims at 20.
00:15:44
Speaker
I was like, let's pair them down to five memorable maxims and maxims meaning values in my life, things that I want to manifest, things that will be the structure of everything that I decide I want in my life that it fits within my value system.
00:15:59
Speaker
This evolves for everyone, but when I take people through the book, you go through five things. Mine was quality time with my family, a romantic partner, right? you know Travel and passions achieved to be able to have creative energy, do things that I like. Financial security, not even financial crazy abundance, millions and millions of dollars, just security like that we were able to have comfort and know that our lights are going to be on. The other one was like the things like they For me, it was
Manifestation Methods and Values
00:16:22
Speaker
just time with my family, being able to do work that I believed in, being able to make an impact, things like that. and Recognizing that those were the important things, I then created this method and I channeled it. It was so like, whoop, I was on a road trip and it just came to me. and I called it the Imagine Method because it stands for I, which is inception. Where are you starting from? Because a lot of times we are looking at
00:16:46
Speaker
You know like oh eric's got this show and he went into this or whatever and you're not looking at where you're starting from and comparing yourself to someone else's story hidden story and Guilting yourself shaming yourself around that when it's like that's not your story and you might be a little bit behind So I always give the example that you know if you're in LA and I'm Kansas City and we're both trying to get to New York I'm gonna get there faster than you because like I'm closer to New York than you are. And like, what are you going to be upset and be like, Oh, she got there before me. And it's like, bro, you started in LA. So because of that, sometimes we have to look at where we're starting from and that compare ourselves to where we see other people gaining those things that is looking at privilege, that is looking at marginalized groups, that is looking at like, do you live in a war torn country? Like if you don't have your basic needs met, you're not thinking about what how to manifest.
00:17:34
Speaker
It's kind of a big deal. So where are you starting from? First, getting that. Then you go into M, which is manifestation. What do you want? You wouldn't believe the amount of clients that I meet with that don't know what they want. No clarity. They're led by their inauthentic desires versus their authentic desires. Inauthentic desires are you know what society tells us we should want.
00:17:52
Speaker
It's what our parents want for us. It's what our partner wants for us. It's the pressure that we feel to be a size zero because the magazine wants that for us. like It is us not in our heart's desire, not in our intuition, not into our life-centered aspect, not in our soul. like It's what we are influenced by. And then our authentic desires are like at the core of our heart what we desire truly in order to be happy.
00:18:18
Speaker
That was me. The ego purpose versus the soul purpose. Yeah, exactly that. So being able to kind of look at that and key in on what actually would make you what you actually want, right? You then go to A, which is the anti-belief. And the anti-belief is like, I want to manifest this, but I can't have it because.
00:18:35
Speaker
And so some of those anti beliefs, very few of them are actually very real. Like I want to do this, but I can't because I live in a different country or I want to do this, but because I live in, you know, racism and patriarchy and so on, like there are systems that are against me being able to do certain things.
00:18:50
Speaker
And so some of those are real and there are other ones that are just our story. Is this the truth or the story that you're telling yourself? So being able to come into contact with those narratives, those narratives are always serving us. If they're false ones, they're always serving us.
00:19:05
Speaker
It's either keeping us from having enough courage to do what it is that we want to do. It's keeping us from the rejection that we might feel or the judgment. Sometimes it's because it's just more comfortable to be where we're at. It's more comfortable to complain. Sometimes it's just because we're afraid and we don't want to live there. You know, there's tons of reasons, but being able to at least encounter that, it's mind blowing. It's a huge wake up call. So then you go on to G, which is growth, which is like, okay, now that I know what's stopping me,
00:19:31
Speaker
What would I need to do in order to get that to move forward?
Integrating Growth into Life
00:19:35
Speaker
like What actions would I need to take? like How would that look? and Can I make an actionable plan to get me to that place? Now, there's always going to be bumps along the way. It's not going to happen overnight. The growth is ongoing, by the way.
00:19:48
Speaker
It's not like, okay, I did it. Now I'm done and growing. You're always constantly evolving. You're always constantly awakening. But that growth process is important because it gives us at least an accessible plan of like how we'd like to approach that. And sometimes that is like, okay, well, I'm going to surrender. It just depends on what it is that you want. So then you get into I, which is integration. So this is that process of then being able to actually do the steps. So it's one thing to plan, it's another thing to actually de-action. But in that integration process, there's so many beautiful things that happen. and I give this example. So when I was young, I've always been a woman of size. I come from a family of women with Nigerian background, like we've always been women of size. So because of society, like I've always felt like I needed to be a certain size in order to be beautiful. and Because of that, I've always been so mean to myself.
00:20:40
Speaker
And there's all these goals. I had an eating disorder for 12 years. Like I just, I went through it there, right? But I also suffered with religious trauma. So growing up in church and stuff, purity and son, like your body's problematic to our on-looking brother. So you need to make sure to keep him in line. And I was like, why is that my responsibility? That shouldn't be my fault. Tell him to look away. But that always made me feel fearful around my purity and what that looked like, right? So when I was 18,
00:21:08
Speaker
I was kidnapped by a football player at my school. We were all supposed to be going to movies with a group of kids together and he took me somewhere else. Things happened that should not have happened, especially at that age. And when I got back to school, my reputation was tarnished and everybody was like, oh, they went all the way. and the I didn't have any choice in the matter. And what I remember is sitting down at the cafeteria and eating three Belgian waffles, because I knew somewhere deep down, like, okay, if I'm in an attractive body, then bad things will happen to me. And just completely locked in that narrative. Now, it wasn't a conscious one. I really didn't realize it until it was the prime age of 39. But all the years in between where I'm like, why is it that when I start making progress, I stop?
00:21:57
Speaker
Why is it when stuff starts to happen, I start looking good? But I'm like, ugh, like I stop. And I've always thought that that was like, something's wrong with me. Like, what's going on with you? You're lazy, you're not disciplined, you're stupid, whatever. And it wasn't until I was actually writing this book that I started to go through that integration process and go, oh my God. And the phrase that came to mind was, I am more afraid of men than I am of being fat or death due to bad health.
00:22:25
Speaker
so My maxim, like the things that were top important in my life, was safety before the other thing I was trying to manifest, which was a certain body type. so like When I saw that, I was like, oh my God, I sobbed, I grieved for that girl. like The girl that for 20 years, I've just been so mean to because she couldn't fit in this box.
00:22:47
Speaker
and being able to give love to her and be able to give love to myself, be able to give, like, hopefully with that story, other people being able but to give love to themselves and say, okay, I understand now why I wasn't able to manifest that thing, but I was trying to protect myself. Yeah. Lots of us have gone through trauma. So that to me is like one of the most important steps because we're integrating something that we've gone through that we're looking and saying, I desire this thing. But then I got to the integration point and go,
00:23:17
Speaker
Actually, I don't think I want that thing. I just want to be happy. I just want to be nice to myself. right so Then you go on into noticing, which is the universe's way of giving you the, you're on the right track. It's the like the sudden opportunities. It's the random DM that you get. and so Hey, and we happen to have the open spot to talk. Let's get it.
00:23:34
Speaker
It's that the universe is like, I'm linking at you, I'm letting you know like you're on the right path. You've shifted something, you're headed in the direction that you want to be going. and To me, that stuff is really important because it does help you see that it's coming and it gives you a little bit more patience where it's like, okay, I know I'm doing something right, I know I'm on the right path. and That leads to then expansion and expansion is when you get your manifestation. and It's juicy for like all of two minutes and then you're like, oh What's the next thing? And that's kind of where I'm really intentional about the book, because like give yourself a chance to enjoy what you've manifested so far before you move on to the next thing. And sometimes it does require a refinement process, because like sometimes you get the thing you thought you wanted, and then you're like, oh, this don't quite fit. And then you go through that whole process all over again. Because to me, manifestation is not about acquiring things, it's about knowing the self.
00:24:29
Speaker
It's knowing who you are, knowing your desires. You are learning through this process of what kind of soul you are, like what you'd like to see. And also recognizing your power. To me, it's an incredibly magical process. I have a tattoo that says magician on it. Oh, wow. I'm big on magic and miracles.
00:24:47
Speaker
Yeah, it's a miracle season. I feel very locked in on that, like that I'm like, I am a magical person. So it's an important process. To me, this is a way to use alchemy in our universe to not just get what you want, but know who you are.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yeah, and and it's so important because that word imagine method, when I think about it, and I think about meaningful manifestation, and I think about imagine, I think about imagination, but I think about intentional imagination, right?
Imagination and Energy in Manifestation
00:25:15
Speaker
Because now, and about the end in mind with intentions, right? You know, we're coming into, you know, the fourth quarter of the year, you know, you got the holidays, we're going into a new year, okay?
00:25:24
Speaker
We visualized our vision boards, right? We want to know new year, new me, whatever. Well, when we lost everything, we want to recalibrate and go to the next level. This book I know is where people should really get into because the energetics of each acronym, each letter breaks it down. And I think when you can break things down and make it make sense,
00:25:45
Speaker
it all manifests because you're and the person who's reading the book to integrate the thoughts and the energy of it to say, oh, what do I want? Why do I want it? Where is this coming from? Is this my ego? Is this my soul? And I think because the ego is so strong and so influential, it wants to take us out and I want this car. I want this person. I want this money. I was like, no, you don't.
00:26:08
Speaker
The word imagine, the root word is match, magic, right? So like what you imagine for yourself, I match, like I am the magician of my life, like so I can produce that.
00:26:20
Speaker
But I say all that to say we all are magicians. It's miracle season. It's meaningful manifestation. you know It's spiritual shit. It's spiritual fitness. like What are we saying? We're manifesting as we're speaking because our soul has a contract in its lifetime to push this energy and information out so people can heal themselves and get to know themselves. it you know There's nothing wrong with having a breakdown because this is how we have a breakthrough. What is the dark truth about life that you know?
Life's Unfairness and Balance
00:26:49
Speaker
Life is not fair, and it won't be. I think people are seeking to see fairness in our world, and it's not there. There are binaries to everything, and there's balance. But like when people are like, oh, loving light and only wanting to focus on the positive, it's like, oh, no. You also have to focus in on the shadow and what's dark. You don't get really deep shadows without really bright light.
00:27:11
Speaker
So even though there is a binary and a balance, like the matrix construct that we live in, I don't think seeks to be fair because that's not how a soul learns. Like for instance, we all have different desires, right? You want to do different things than I want to do and so on. So because of that, like we all have a different desire in our soul that we want to achieve. So in this way, I think our soul has different desires of what our soul wants to learn.
00:27:39
Speaker
And that might come through the death of your first one child. And like I hope to God, God, that that never happens to me. But I have known people who have gone through things like that. And we go, why God? Why universe? Why would you let that happen to me? Why? It's just things that just seem so unfair, the death of my aunt, right? you know My husband's mother passed away suddenly last year, 62 years old.
00:28:04
Speaker
And it just like what in the world, you know, we just don't know, understand or know why. but I don't think we ever will when it comes to when we think about our rights and what we want for humanity and like how they're behaving. And I'm like, I can't even fathom why anyone would ever say or think that like my brain doesn't go in that direction. But I know for whatever reason, the universe does not seek to be fair.
00:28:27
Speaker
I mean, that's a great answer because it's true. like No one really cares. No one really cares about your pain. The fact that you said that, so I have a client, uber successful, just amazing woman. She lost her dad at 12. She lost her brother at 17. She had four miscarriages. Her mother had a brain tumor, right? But if you met her, you would never know. so She makes a lot of money. She's uber successful and her challenge at times in this moment is she has that father wound, right? Because not having that around.
00:28:54
Speaker
So to talk about that and spin it back to when you were 18, there's two questions in this space.
Connection Between Trauma and Ancestral Energies
00:29:00
Speaker
Do you believe things like that happened to us or happened to people because a one, it's like ancestry trauma, something from like our past life, or energetically, we're calling that in to live out our soul in this lifetime.
00:29:16
Speaker
That's a very delicate answer because I think and when we think about the law of attraction, I don't believe that the law of attraction is a law. I think it's a principle. It's a really fantastic principle and I think it applies in a lot of ways where perspective-wise we can look at things a certain way and go, oh, I attracted that or I didn't see it because I was negative or whatever the thing is. I think that there are elements of randomness that happen in our universe, which is why I think it's not fair.
00:29:43
Speaker
And so there are some people out here just living their best life, hurting and harming other people. And I don't think that's necessarily anything someone has called in. However, I do know that there are elements to, and I wouldn't call it karma necessarily because karma, it's not like you did something bad and now you're going to have something bad done to you in that way. But when you think of an energetic debt of sorts, like something that your soul wants to learn, that's what I mean by karma.
00:30:10
Speaker
yeah And so you might have gone through these experiences that my belief system, if we're above and we're choosing our little spices of like, well, I want this for my life, I want this for my life, let's put this on my chart. And you're not really thinking about like how terrible it will actually feel when you're in the human space because from what I know about the afterlife of doing my mediumship work, it's like, oh, go in for 15 minutes, we'll see you in and a little bit, right? Or we're here for what feels like 80 years. There can be these moments that we absolutely do choose, but I don't think we choose all of them.
00:30:38
Speaker
And I think that there is a certain element of randomness that has to happen in order for us to, one, gain our soul's learning. But like there's so many people here, and there's so many pathways and timelines. There's a book, A Walk on the Other Side, I think it's called, or Walk Beyond, Christian Sutherland. He talks about, oh yeah, we plan out everything.
00:30:58
Speaker
When we say plan out everything, we have three million branches of how it could go. And these are the destiny points that all kind of lead us to the same space. So from our perspective, it would very much seem random because there are people that we would meet or cross paths along the way. And, you know, like we still have free will.
00:31:15
Speaker
So there has to be an element of chaos that happens. So I think that like what happened to me, I didn't invite that into my life. Like what happened in those little interactions, it was these tiny decisions, you know, something really awful happened to me. And it's like, I'm not going to sit here and act like I did anything wrong.
00:31:33
Speaker
Since I was young, like six, seven or something, I was really afraid to have children because I thought I was going to die. I don't know why, where that thought came from. When I was four, I remember praying with my mom and saying, God, please don't let my mommy die or my daddy die. Where would that come from at four years old? Why at six years old? I'm like, Oh no, I'll never have children because I don't want to die again.
00:31:53
Speaker
What? Like that sounds so random. So when I'm going into labor, you know, at 37 and we're laboring for three days and nothing is happening.
Near-Death Experience and Intuition
00:32:03
Speaker
And they're like, all right, we're going to have a C-section. And I'm going, no, I don't want to die. And they're going, we perform this all the time. We did that. And she's really blowing me off. And I'm getting really upset because I know something she doesn't.
00:32:14
Speaker
my intuition, I remember stopping the surgeon and she's like, what are you worried about? She wasn't trying to like, vandalize me, but she was like, what, tell me what you're worried about. And I said, I think that you're going to take my baby out and I'm going to bleed out on the table. And I said, I need you to make sure that I don't die on that table. I need to be here for my daughter.
00:32:36
Speaker
And so I go in and sure enough, I deliver the baby. I have a postpartum hemorrhage. They cannot find the bleed for four minutes. And I'm just bleeding out. And it's crazy. My husband has a picture where he's like, they're like, look at the baby. And they take a picture and you can see in the background me just like so much blood. And there's a moment where I feel myself slipping away.
00:32:57
Speaker
I'm in the in-between space. I'm not conscious. I can hear like kind of disembodied hums and things, and then it's just nothing. I felt nothing. I heard nothing. I was connected to nothing. It felt like an eternity, and then I could hear my husband's voice like yelling for me, and it's like,
00:33:16
Speaker
you know I came back, they found the bleed, and no surgeon or doctor talked to me about what happened. and I had to find out from a nurse because i was like something happened. like I was gone for a second, and one of the nurses thankfully came back in and told me the whole story. and It was like, what would have happened if I didn't prime that surgeon before we went in and let her know, hey, this is something that might happen to me? you know like What would have happened? Yeah. I mean i could feel it in my solar places. Wow, that was like you really left and came back.
00:33:45
Speaker
It was so pathetic. And then it's like, I know I'm going to raise a baby. It was like tiny little gremlin. So cute. This is like chewing on my boobs. Like, what do you do? Like, my brain is not online. Like, I'm still suffering. I'm still going through this experience. And I had to ask myself the question, did I manifest this? I was so afraid that this was going to happen. Was it because of me?
00:34:06
Speaker
Or did I know ahead of time? Did I have insight and intuition that this is something I knew my soul was going to have to go through? I don't know. My spirit guides have said, you knew ahead of time. Yeah, because now I'm curious, if you didn't perform a C-section, what would have happened? What was fate trying to give us in that moment? Because remember in high school, my teacher was like, do you guys believe in fate or free will or something like that? Do you believe like life is predetermined? Do you think, you know, it's fate like this is just what it is? So my life, my life has been a movie.
00:34:36
Speaker
Growing up in the inner city of Baltimore, seeing so many bad things, negative things, to like be on this side or jump in time. I was like, oh my God, this life. And then feeling bad for being on this side. And then learning that you all have a cold switch, you all got an accent and all these things that we put in our mind. is like yeah I don't know if you've done Akashic record before. You know Akashic? Oh, yes, I have. And I have an Akashic record reader. That's fantastic. ToddBracenlive.com. Oh, yeah. Well, I want to try them out. So I had one but late last year and she was like, oh, Eric, you already lived your sole purpose. I'm like, huh? She's like, yeah.
00:35:11
Speaker
Oh, you can just have fun. Yeah. As you said, your ancestors are so happy that you're so productive. Have fun. And then she was saying like, there's two paths that lead to one. One is easy and one is hard. And when it's easy and your heart and when it's hard is in your mind. So it's up to you.
00:35:26
Speaker
I was like, she's like, you've done so much work on yourself in this lifetime. Ever have to do work again, he's still going to end up where you belong. And I'm like, okay, right? It's just interesting how life puts you in these spaces of people like yourself that you get to meet, that you get to feel.
00:35:42
Speaker
And honestly, you notice the thing contrast and polarity like for you to experience something dramatic like that.
Challenges as Spiritual Opportunities
00:35:49
Speaker
I believe the up level that is the 10X select because that's the pendulum because I want you to speak on how do we.
00:35:57
Speaker
perceive or contextualize the negative sides of life and embrace them with love, right? Like these painful moments because all my pain led me to my game. At least the people who look at it in a bad way, who don't have the information, they even sabotage it. They never get to where they want to go because they're afraid, right?
00:36:18
Speaker
you embraced something that was uncomfortable that you knew about, you still stepped in, now you're on the other side. How can we look at a breakup, a heartbreak, losing everything, going back home to mom, dad, whoever, in such a positive way, so when we're in that space, it's not taking over our existence and we can just have grace and compassion and say, you know what, this is part of my journey, where it's just taking me to the next level. Because I think we get stuck in these phases, right?
00:36:44
Speaker
yeah I think, like number one, it's important to grieve. like I had a lot of grieving after having an experience like that. you know It took me two years to really get into a place where I was like, okay, I'm okay to talk about this. I had to look at the pain I experienced. I had to look at all the fears. like I had PTSD afterwards. like My husband didn't text me back. like Within five minutes, I thought he was dead in a ditch.
00:37:06
Speaker
And it's like, mentally speaking, like soberly speaking, that's not something that, it's like, that wouldn't be the case. But like, I couldn't control the anxiety I was having. I think like, I can't live like this. But my husband said something really amazing. And not to invalidate how I was feeling, but you spend about 90% of your time imagining the worst things that will happen. What would happen if you gave at least 50% to the best thing that could happen? Just 50%.
00:37:34
Speaker
Like if you give as much time as you worry about what's wrong as what could be right, like how would that help in your life? And to answer your question, grieving is the important part because we need to acknowledge the pain that we have. And a lot of times, unfortunately, our world is move on, move on, move on. You know, like people don't care, like keep going, whatever. You need to adequately process.
00:37:55
Speaker
what it is that you've gone through. Number two, it's making space. That is how I've always thought about it. It's like, I can't get new furniture until I get rid of what I have, or I can't get a closet below new clothes unless I sell what I have.
00:38:11
Speaker
relationships, for instance, like get removed out of our lives to make space for you know what we would like to actually draw in. and Sometimes because we're in that fear space or because you know we have these narratives like, I'll never be with any money. We'll stay attached to someone for longer than we should. or well you know I was in an abusive, narcissistic relationship where this person didn't give a shit about me. I'm just staying because I want to be in a unit. I want to be married. and you know I'm growing up in the Midwest. All of my friends were married at 21.
00:38:40
Speaker
So it was this like external pressure of feeling like, I'm not enough, I just need to you know have this thing. But he was telling me all along, this ain't your person, I'm not your person. And holding onto it because I didn't think I deserved any better. And sometimes the universe is like, all right, let me grab you by your hair. Let me, like let's just remove it now. And sometimes those moments where we feel like everything just got pulled from underneath us, we had warning signs before then.
00:39:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure. Usually warning signs before then, we just are not trying to do what the universe is asking us. So we get that rug pool where it's like, all right, you know, despite in spite of yourself, like we're trying to provide you with what's going to be best for your life. And if you're not in a space where you're open to receive that, which a lot of us aren't like we're not ready for that rug pool, right? Like it's really jarring when it happens and you're allowed to be upset. You're allowed to be sad. You're allowed to grieve what you lost.
00:39:32
Speaker
But I think for me, I'm always like, all right, um, I guess we're making space, making space for something better. And I kid you not, like I'm 40 years old and I feel like every single time, it wasn't like next month, sometimes it was, but every single time it was replaced with better. It was always leveled up. The only time it was replaced with something worse is when I went backwards.
00:39:54
Speaker
And it's so important right you know to deal with it all. I think the the main thing is that the reason we're afraid to let go of something, because we can see the value that it holds in our life. But you can't see the thing that's coming in that's even 10 times greater. And I experienced that in a situation where you know how sometimes I can be very cold. you know I love people, I'm a lover, but man, you get in those boundaries.
00:40:21
Speaker
This is what happened in relationships. Then going back to the knowing energy, I knew like, hmm, something ain't right about this. So I kind of went with it and I was like, it happened again. I said, okay, I'm done. And they're like, what are you doing? Like, I'm done, it's over. But I knew, it wasn't a belief, it was a knowing. And I think we know things that we try to convince ourselves that it's okay, things happen. People listening, stop giving yourself and these people all these chances.
00:40:49
Speaker
If you're 35 and older, you know what you're doing. For me, I think I'm like, I'll give you one chance. You have one chance and that's like being generous, right? And then at that point, like if we good, if I see the same behavior again, we're talking about relationships, right? I had some friendships that didn't make it through the pandemic. And it was like, well, number one, I realized I'm neurodivergent and I really enjoyed my long time. I'm actually an introvert. You know, when some of the George Floyd stuff happened and people were having very questionable responses. And then I suddenly start to realize, wait a minute,
00:41:21
Speaker
Huh, you don't have any black friends except me. And you're telling me that I should think about this differently. Like you're telling me I'm being biased, you know, like all this kind of weird stuff coming up and I'm like, Oh, I didn't know. And then it's starting to look back years and years and years and going, Oh, that's always been there.
00:41:38
Speaker
Yeah. Interesting. I don't feel safe here anymore. And, you know, try to give it a little bit of a chance. But like once you realize that it's like, whoop, you kind of level up into another space where it's like, oh, well, we don't feel like we don't feel energetically aligned anymore. And that can happen with a job that can happen with a friend, a partnership that can happen with a manifestation that you're trying to draw in. And it's like, oh, actually, that's not something I want. So at some point, if you take the time to reflect, you'll have that inner knowing and going like, is this really for me?
00:42:07
Speaker
Or is it something I'm trying to force because I'm afraid of losing something. I'm afraid of being in scarcity. It's like time to move on. And it's important who you have in your life. That's what I learned from my dark night of the souls that some people energy that can be around can stop other energy and manifestations from coming in. Because they have a very dark undertone or they have a very inauthentic aura that you love that you didn't know about because they kept it from you, right?
00:42:32
Speaker
And then I want to kind of like shed some light on your husband because, you know, I have the privilege to coach and train a lot of high end, successful, independent women. Women go through a lot mentally, emotionally, energetically. They're always trying to protect themselves. They don't feel safe in certain areas. And a lot of my clients, they're heavy in their masculine. They're very independent.
00:42:55
Speaker
What I'm learning as a man is that the reason they trust me because I know how to hold space, right? and I want to give your husband some acknowledgement and some love because for him to hold space in those moments that you were going through the postpartum or whatever you were going through says a lot because I talked to some of my clients who are, they might be single,
00:43:14
Speaker
They need to make a big decision about a career move or opportunity. And I was like, this is where a man comes into your life. Not to give you validation, not to justify what you should do, but just to have the presence of the energy there gives you more safety in your own body.
Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies
00:43:31
Speaker
It's a place to expand. So for instance, like I could probably be happily single you know for the rest of my life after I got on my last marriage. And my partnership, what he brings to the table, you know I always asked afterwards, like I want an equal and capable partner.
00:43:46
Speaker
yeah And this is what this means to me. I think what to speak to your point, like we live in a patriarchy. So masculine energy is what is valued. So it's not like people are like, oh my God, wow, they're so feminine. Look how they hold space and look how nurturing they are. They're not saying that. They're saying, you know like oh, you're not at home with your kids? By the way, motherhood is extremely masculine. Like taking care of everybody, making sure everybody's safe, making sure everybody has their lunches and everybody's on time. That's incredibly masculine as a task.
00:44:15
Speaker
But then on top of that, it's like, all right, well, then I also need to work, and then I'm supposed to take on household responsibilities, I'm supposed to do this, that, and the other. And I think especially for modern women, like we are not valued for the feminine aspects that we bring to the table, right? I am the table.
00:44:33
Speaker
I'm the fucking table. Like, I hate those comments. They're like, what do you bring to the table? I am the table. I am the nurturer. I am the mother. I am this, I'm that, you know, and especially the values that like the intuitive aspects, right? Like and to me, masculine, feminine, like, however you identify it, pronouns don't matter here. What I'm saying is, is that in the case of feminine and masculine energy,
00:44:53
Speaker
You, Eric, intuitive is the feminine energy. It's the outlet, right? The plug is the masculine energy. So these two binaries come together energetically, symbiotically to get shit done. So in these energies, we both contain them, right? Unfortunately, for a lot of our modern women, we're watching and I don't want to see men have it all in that like you know reductive way, but like world is tuned to them. like What is yeah more natural for them? right But it harms them as well because it doesn't create space for them to be emotional. I acknowledge this. I'm an extremely masculine woman. but I have a lot of drive. I have a lot of fire in my chart. I'm like, let's get stuff done. When I'm ready to do something, get out of my way. like I am ADHD superpower. like I can just tune it in and get it done.
00:45:42
Speaker
The thing is, is that I never needed a man in my life for money. Like I never needed that. I don't need the home. I don't need that. You know, like I could do it myself. What I want is to be able to want to be with someone, want to be around someone, want to enjoy their energy.
00:45:57
Speaker
when I'm expressing something to you that you are adept in being able to hold space for me, because I by myself am an entire unit, I am an independent, I am capable, and what I need is a supporting partner. I want to be that for them as well. right like Me and my husband have these like long talks you know about cerebral stuff, and he's into spiritual stuff too sometimes, and we hold space for each other. We're good tandem partners. But unfortunately, like and I know especially in like at least for me in LA and New York when I was in those places,
00:46:26
Speaker
a lot of the people I was dating were like, Peter Pan, yay. There's more and more women. I can get more and more women. That ego like really pops off and a lot of women don't feel safe because then they're like, no one's ever going to choose me. and That puts them in an energy of lack. Then they feel like they need to be more masculine to get someone to lock down. when like Honestly, when I was on the first date with my husband, he was giving me that swan song. He's like, I'm not really looking for anything serious right now. Let me stop you right now. I am only here for this conversation.
00:46:55
Speaker
I just want to speak to you. I just want to get to know who you are. If we get married and have a child, great. If I never see you again, this is perfect." and I released that pressure because I wasn't in a scarcity space and I'm like, I'm just here for this conversation. Then, bloom.
00:47:11
Speaker
Day three, will you be my girlfriend? Dayton, I'm in love with you. It's true, though, right? like I think also, masking is just doing, right? like Women who want more are are going to be in their masking.
Society's Focus on Love and Money
00:47:22
Speaker
It's okay. Which is okay, right? There's nothing wrong with it. I think guys get intimidated, and I think the world has made some women feel like they have to be that way, but they don't understand.
00:47:32
Speaker
That's why they're massing, because look at it. If we're valued the most in the world, and that's what women see the most, Blueprint, they think that's what they want, right? We talk more about it at the station, then you manifest these things. I have clients who have all the material stuff, and it's like, I just want some love. Yeah. I want a hug, someone to talk to at night. It's cool having this G-Wagon and making these millions, but I don't care about that. I just want someone to love me for me. Yeah. But at the end of the day, the perfect relationship for anyone is the relationship of yourself.
00:48:00
Speaker
The perfect marriage for you is the marriage of self. Be in a relationship with yourself, then love yourself 10 times more when you're not with your part if you have one. Why do you think fear dominates the world? And the last two is like, why is love and money put on such a high pedestal? So let me answer your second one first. So love and money, love is why we're here.
00:48:23
Speaker
It's not romantic love, you know like romantic love can be a part of that. But like to me, when I started to realize, I do a lot of channeling, right? And so I have a lot of higher self come in and talk about it. I'm like, what's the point? Why are we here? like What is the whole point of this matrix and manifesting? What's the point of like going through these elections and war and all that kind of stuff? And to me, it's you know the soul purifying itself through the process of love.
00:48:45
Speaker
and What does it mean to be loving to your neighbor? Why is was that the highest commandment? like Why is that so important? now How do we see love in our next door neighbor, our barista, someone who celebrates a religion we don't? like How can we be more loving? and so Because that is such a focus, I think it's such a need that we have. It's not a bad need. It's unfortunately that it's been romanticized in such a way, you know the nuclear family.
00:49:07
Speaker
which is not bad, but it's just we've put it in this insular little box where it's like, okay, it only exists in this way. And this is how you get it. And it's like, oh, but I can't get that through a friendship. I can't get that through being able to just make eye contact with someone I just met or we leave strangled it into this really small box. And so I think when we start to see the world as like,
00:49:28
Speaker
like For instance, I had a client today who said that she met this man at a spa, not anything romantic, but he was very genuinely kind to her. and She just hasn't had a lot of men who are genuinely kind to her. and she It was water in the desert. like She could live on that little moment of spark of just like, someone was really nice to me. and That and make her weak because like we're so starved. Little because the comments section on Instagram. People are hilarious, but like people are mean, the meanest things that people would say because they're hurting.
00:49:58
Speaker
the people are in pain and they don't know how to express it and they take it out on the opposing side, their wounds are what show us their limitations. Like I'm hurting, I don't have love, people don't like me or whatever. So you're a fat bitch who did it day you'll never make. It's like, m that's where your wound is. I see that. Okay. I see where you're at.
00:50:16
Speaker
That's I think why love is important. Money is important because um we are in a patriarchal society that is very capitalistic and it's very ego driven. Like how much more money can we get? Like why is it that people put money before people yeah as they lack love?
00:50:31
Speaker
and take care of myself over our brother who needs it. Like, why is it that they're voting against free lunch when they want people to have more children? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like, make it make sense to a pro life, then be pro life, be pro love.
00:50:48
Speaker
so Like we don't have an equanimity in our society because we are often in scarcity. We're always just thinking about how can we get and preserve our ourselves? And it's a very selfish approach. Money is just an expression of who we are at the core. That's it. Like if I'm a generous person, when I get money, I'm gonna still be a generous person. If I'm a selfish asshole that just wants greed and wants to hoard money, then I'll just be that, right? Like you could be that poor, but you'll be that rich.
00:51:17
Speaker
So to me money just amplifies who we are and we've seen those who were a step on other people rewarded for that and get to have all the things it's like what are the mean evil villains or whatever the people that make the most money they're willing to do the most cutthroat things in it like I'm not willing to do things that Elon Musk is willing to do.
00:51:35
Speaker
Never. I wouldn't feel comfortable. I wouldn't be able to sit with my soul. ah So fear, I'm someone who suffers with anxiety. And so I often see in my lack of control, there are so many fears that come up. And to give an example, my husband works nights right now. And my daughter's but like room is right next door to my office, but my bedroom is all the way down the hallway. She's been sleeping in her own big bed since she was one. She's just like, I know what I'm doing. I've been here before.
00:51:59
Speaker
But I get super nervous at night. I'm not joking. I know this sounds like an exaggeration. I have a machete by my bed. So if anyone were to break into our house or anything like that, I am ready. I have calculated how much time it takes me to get to her room. Like fear, because of what I watched in the world. However, I think that because we don't spread enough love, have enough community, fear, it's the opposite side of the spectrum. I don't think the opposite of love is hate. I think the opposite of love is fear. Because when people are out there being hateful, it's as a result of them fearing, you're going to take what I have.
00:52:34
Speaker
I'm afraid of this thing, so but the action is hate, too but hate is not the opposite of love. So I think that that's why it runs rampant is when we are not a society where we prioritize community and loving our neighbor and connecting with another person, we end up in these kind
Community, Love, and Connection
00:52:51
Speaker
of fear spaces. For instance, the person that moves away and gets there, you know, a hundred acres and preps for themselves and has their little like enclave. It's like, I'm ready to be against anyone that's around me when I start thinking about like, all right, if we go through an economic collapse, like what would we do? Are we moving or are we hunkering down in our community with the people that we've made friends with? Are we building a garden because we have a little spot where we can make a garden to make a community garden where people can get their fruits and vegetables if they don't have enough food? How can I serve my community? That is what will keep me safe.
00:53:25
Speaker
yeah Not like hoarding my money and resources and whatever, being able to spend it and means that people aren't going to come and take over my house. Yeah. It's so interesting because I just got some downloads last week about money. right so I was watching Instagram, I saw a reel and it says, for every dollar you give, you get 1.6% or something back. right so They were saying the people who give the most make the most. I started thinking even deeper like, hmm, free money has no real energy on it.
00:53:55
Speaker
So, it's important what you do with the money, but the people who give the money, they know that, and the people they're giving it to don't
Importance of Giving and Receiving Love
00:54:01
Speaker
know that. Think about credit card companies. They earn free money. That's why they have all the monies from a universal perspective. If you're giving your charity right happy money, you're giving with love. Listen, it's all back going to come back. Even if you don't have it, we give you last dollar.
00:54:16
Speaker
And there's also something called, I don't know if you've heard of it, Reality Transurfing. It talks about when we give things importance, we push them away from ourselves. So say, your relationship, oh my God, I want this person to call, it text me back. You're constantly pushing that energy away. But when you're thinking about it, you actually have it.
00:54:33
Speaker
yeah He comes in. So what I'm saying is that people give love. I'm a loving him being I love. Someone told me another day, she said, Eric, you remind me of just a tall walking bundle of love. That's what I see. And that's what I feel for. I was like, yeah, someone told me that in a reading.
00:54:49
Speaker
I'm here to love, right? So I know how to love people so much because I didn't get the love I wanted as a kid. So I became love. And then I was afraid to receive it now and I'm just embracing it. But I'm here to say meaningful manifestation, spiritual podcast, a little ugly, listen to her, follow her, really tap into the subconscious and the super conscious of who she is because I do believe again, she will have her own syndicated television show.
