Every heartfelt story leaves you wondering more, and todays' episode begins with a story that makes us ask: can a spirit ever be contained?
Welcome to another episode of Insiders Insight, where we come together and share questions, concerns, and curiosities. Today we explore:
- Can animals send us messages from the Other Side, and can we actively engage with their Spirit?
- How to maintain a positive body image in a world that makes it a struggle to do so
- How your body may respond to being in a space where tragedy has occurred, and what to do if this happens to you
- The power of prayer, tenfold
Earth School is hard, and these physical bodies can be metaphorically heavy, but your spirit and soul can lighten the load with assistance from the Other Side.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side, a production
of My Heart Radio. Hi, y'all, I'm Julie. Hi there,
I'm Brenda. Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side. Now,
y'all need to know that we are obsessed with everything
on the other side. Yes, we are, because once you
(00:22):
learn to navigate the energetic, or to some the invisible world,
life is going to be more fun and much more serene. Heck,
yes it can, because, let's be honest, brand Earth school
is hard. In fact, you taught me that, let's crush
Earth School together. Well, hello, m I am doing great
(00:48):
my health and how are you. I am fan freaking tastic. Indeed,
I am so inspired artistically living here in Santa Fe
that I can't even tell. I mean, it's amazing. I'm
so happy. I'm happy for Yeah. Well, you know, when
I get going, you always get boxes. I love boxes
(01:10):
from my oup. Always get something creative, force for good.
I love it. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. Anything
I can integrate crystals into I will Yeah. That makes
me happy, exactly right. So what do you have for
us today? Well, today we're going to do Insider's Insight
(01:31):
because we haven't done one in a bit, and we
have a little bit of a backup. We have been
we have been lax well because you know, let me
less be honest. I've even process taring it up. Yeah,
you've been. I've been tearing it up with life lessons
with our schools. So let's talk about other people's stories.
(01:54):
So this one's kind of long, but I love this
person how they talk about their dog. So yeah, it's
a terrible story. But um but I think it's So
it's a long one. Sobody just like, you know, get comfortable,
get a cocktail, get a cup of hot tea, whatever
it is. But I'm gonna go ahead and start. Are
(02:14):
you ready? Bring it all? Right? This past saturday, our
neighbor shot our dog Goliath. Like I said, this is
not a good story. I mean coming like, did not
bury the lead, like went out there with it right there.
Uh huh. They said he was attacking their chickens. I
miss My baby Goliath has been breaking out of the
(02:38):
fence by tearing the chain link from the pole on
the fence door. We tried to secure it without completely
redoing it, but it didn't work. There's a lesson in there. Everybody.
They got out and he went to the neighbors, and
the neighbors said he was attacking their chickens. But I
don't believe that because Goliath was at the type to Okay,
this is a really long one. I told you guys,
because because wasn't the type a type to attack anything.
(03:00):
He was very common sweet or other dogs, Joker and Queen. Okay,
by the way, was the names of these animals. I
mean like a plus plus on this, like winning the
naming game. Um would be the type to attack the chickens.
But anyway, the neighbor knows our dogs and has pet
them before, but still chose to shoot Goliath and kill him.
(03:22):
And then the guy left him laying in their yard
and didn't tell us. We called for Goliath for an
hour and searched for him, and my fiancee, Cherokee, was
about to go ask the neighbor if they had seen him.
That's when Cherokee, that's his name, found Goliath and he
was already stiff. We miss him so much. We are
(03:43):
grieving now. We buried him in the yard and put
concrete over the grave. I mean that's intense, and drew
his name and we love you on it. Oh my god,
this is killing me. I just wish I could have
him back. I keep talking to him in my mind
and telling him I miss him and love him. It
rained last night and the dirt under the concrete on
(04:05):
his grave softened and caused the concrete to rise up.
I saw it, and I said, oh my god, even
in death, you can't stay contained. L O L. I
don't think this was a question. I think this is
a story. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. It's such
an incredible story, but how devastating. See. Actually, I think
(04:27):
she in my world is a hero because I could
have possibly killed the person that killed my doll. So
that took a lot of restraint. Cancel cla Okay, canceled,
Claire canceled Claire Star Sorry, yes, I mean obviously. And
she has other dogs to take care of, so it's
important should not be in jail for something like that. So, wow,
(04:52):
that's super intense, and so there's not really a question
on top of that. I don't think there was a question.
I I think that it was a story, and I'm
wondering if Goliath was trying to make last appearance for them,
you know, in the way of the ground moving up
(05:14):
and all of that kind of stuff like just like
I'm cool, I'm okay, right right, well obviously sending sending
a final message for sure, but just and I love
her read of it, writing you cannot be contained and
I would just rely just share the story when when
my dog died completely different than Goliath, but um, you know,
(05:36):
shit to not even she was like fifty pounds, big,
big for sh But when after she passed, Um, I
we went to a park. I just needed to be
outside and I saw her spirit how big it was,
like it filled the sky. It literally filled the sky.
Just comforted, comforted me to no end, Like how did
that giant spirit fit into that little furry body. And
(06:00):
and so when you think of Goliath and spirit being
so rambunctious and sweet and kind and you know, but
couldn't be contained, Like that's that's the one thing that
really struck me in my experience when when Maggie passed
and then so then this like we can't contain their
spirit is in the end, he's showing you that he's
(06:21):
like I'm here as as I always am, Like it changed,
my form has changed, but I'm still here, And I
think that's the important thing. And you know, we talk
about our furry babies a lot, you know, because they
are a part of our family. They are family, total family, Yes,
and so I think that So that's I mean, it's
just so very clear. Cannot be contained in the expansiveness
(06:45):
and the endlessness of that love connection is Let it
be tangible, let it be real. Still talk to him,
help him, you know, have him help the other dogs.
That's a great way to keep engaged. So that would
be give him a job. They love what we did
with Homer. You know, the Homewer has his own job
in mind. I mean he still he still comes and
(07:06):
visits Alex, our god daughter regularly. In fact, one of
the things that we did that Susanne did when we
were the Purge, the Purge, I think is going to
keep coming up for a long time. We're doing the
Purge um. When we did the Purge there we had
these photographs, these like professional photographs that Tricia Wood had
done for us of Homer and Punky and Suzanne looked
(07:30):
at that and she goes, you know how much we
love homwer. She goes, but I think Alex actually needs
this portrait of him. And so Suzanne sent it to
Alex so she had Homer professional photo. Right. So there
they are there, they are so much more than how
(07:51):
people perceive them to be and still available. Right, that's right,
that's the big takeaway there, without a doubt, without a doubt. Wow,
and thank you guys. So that wasn't a question. But
it was a really a magical story and how she
perceives and how she felt Goliath spirits. So and you know,
I always love a little giggle with grieving. I mean
(08:11):
I love a little giggle with anything. I think it
makes everything. You know, this dog with concrete like concrete,
concrete is not a problem. I can get through that.
And I will just say that's amazing. You know, for
this situation, the events that they didn't have a quote
(08:32):
unquote repaired properly. If he wanted to get out, he
was going to get out. He was just that kind
of dog like he was. He like to challenge, right right, yeah,
or a great game of you know, tug or tag
war or something like he just loved he liked that
kind of playfulness challenge for him. Yeah. Well, I think
this story is saddening, saddening, angering, I can't lie. Angered,
(08:58):
me when I first read it, it's a little rough.
I just don't think it's okay. It's not okay. And um,
I think people can be horrible and evil, and that
was an evil thing to do. But I think the
way that she handled it and how she told the
story and how much she loves and in the fact
they poured concrete and they I mean that is like,
that's honoring. So I do love that. Um, but I'm
(09:20):
sorry that she had to go through it. So um, yeah,
why would take a quick break so I could be
sad about it? And just thanks for sharing. Okay, we'll
be right back everybody, and not it won't be about
this again. I hope we'll see. Yeah, we'll be right
(09:41):
back everybody, and welcome back. Thanks. I'm speaking on behalf
of all of our listeners, not just me. I have
another This one is actually a question, even though the
first one wasn't technically a question. Um, okay, here we go, hi, ladies.
(10:04):
I've been doing a lot of reflecting on my body
image and how I'm so critical of myself. Welcome to
being a woman. To sum it up, I've gained twenty
pounds since college, and I pretty much based my value
self worth on my physical appearance. Even when I was
a hundred and ten pounds. Okay, for the record, I
(10:25):
was born a D ten pounds. I think it's all
my birth certificate, so adding onto that you are still
Danny tiny eighty eny when there okay anyway, Um, even
when I was a D ten pounds, no one asked
for my commentary, but you get it anyway. Um, even
when I was a hundred and ten pounds as a
result of not oh whoops, of not eating due to stress,
(10:48):
finals for getting to eat, not having time to eat,
it still wasn't good enough. I'm thankful for the body
positivity movement, but I'm still so dot dot dot, I guess,
ashamed of how I look. What is something I can
keep in mind to help me learn to accept myself
no matter what size or shape I am, and ignore
(11:11):
the paranoia of what others may be thinking. As a
hell of a question. By the way, yeah, Nail, I
mean there's a lot going on there. Yeah. I mean,
first of all, thank you for being so vulnerable and
so transparent of and generous with your experience, because there's
(11:36):
not a person on the planet who hasn't felt some
version of that I'm not saying you're exact or even
that it was about body weight, but just you know,
these bodies that are heavy, they're awkward, they're high maintenance,
come on, right, and some or more pleasing to eyes
than others. I mean, and I'm not being ugly about it,
but it's like, you know, that's that's the true some
(12:00):
people view and then some get the Yeah, some get
the physical lottery, and you know, others get the you know, Chevrolet,
which is which is fine, Like we we um we
get what we get, and there's a reason we get
what we get. It's based on karma. And the truth
(12:25):
is it doesn't matter what you get because you get
what you've got, and what you've got is what you
have to work with. And you can't do Earth school
work without one of these bodies, full stop, full stop.
So whatever body you have, however shape, functional level, you know,
(12:46):
quote unquote defects like differently abled, like whatever it is
that you have, neuro atypical happening, firing whatever, these bodies
are the only game in town. So you have to honor, like, Okay,
this is what I'm running in the field today, you know,
(13:07):
And I really like the concept of I think of
these bodies as outfits. Do you know I like pulling
together little outfits. It's my only creative expression. And me,
who I consider myself very creative, don't give two ships
about outfits. Well, you have your own outfit that you like, right,
(13:28):
it's usually nect t exactly right, yeah right, And that's
your that's your oufit, Like it's just a uniform. But
the bodies that are are the outfit that we're going
to use in this lifetime. And if you want it
to be different, if you you know, need a little
whatever it is is ug up of something. Talk to
(13:49):
someone knows how to that particular outfit that you have, Like,
that's how I think of it. I have one of
my teachers, one of my Aribatic teachers, always called it
the meat suit. You know, we were we wear these
meat suits. I'm like, that is so vulgar, like it
justn't like but she's like, no, that's what it is,
Like we literally like you know. And then there's Lady
Gaga who literally works literally look at you. Okay, it
(14:17):
happened like ten years ago or whatever back, but my
point is like that's what she would call, like it's
just a meat suit. It houses our spirit. It houses
our spirit, and it is designed in a specific way
so that we can express an experience the sole contract
that we came in with. That's it, Like, that's that's
(14:38):
how if you can start looking at your body in
through those eyes and not experience the pop culture or
fashion bullshit lends that people pressure people for, Like, don't
succumb to that. They have no idea what your soul
came to experience. Don't don't take on that level of dysfunction.
(14:59):
And you can be aware of it, but you don't
have to internalize it. Right, that's the differential. You're never
going to not be aware of it. If you are
a woman on the planet, you get judged every time
you show up someplace. Walking into the grocery store, someone's
gonna someone is going to judge you. It could be
the cashier, it could be the you know whoever. But
(15:22):
that doesn't mean that they say it out loud or
maybe they do whatever, but it doesn't have anything to
do with you. Remember, the assessment belongs to the assessy,
not the assess or right the person who's having an opinion.
It's the opinion that they are making that belongs to them.
It doesn't belong to you that they're making it about.
So full stop there, and then your job is to
go this is the vehicle by which I experience Earth
(15:45):
School and which my soul will activate in a way
to expand and learn and heal and create healing for
others or whatever path you're on. But if you can
get out of the pop culture lens and put on
the lens of my spiritual soul, it really helps to understand.
This is how I come to the game. This is
(16:06):
how I come to our school every day. Yeah, and
start being grateful for your body, Start going thank you
do I wish you are a different shape, yes, but
I am so grateful that I have the shape I have.
I have a body that's functioning, because do you know
how long your soul waiting to have a body A
long time, A really long time. So that's myself. I
(16:27):
love your soapbox, and you know, listen, her message is
loudly received by I think virtually everybody listening, and including
us obviously struggled with that stuff. And I will say
Suzanne has always kind of teased me. I have short
legs and they're like tree trunks, and I am so
(16:49):
grateful for my tree trunks. I have the most amazing
balance because I have a lower synergravity. So ham she
used to joke about my shoes and because I have
a wide foot high art to be like, oh, just
throw away the shoes and wear the boxes. It's called
the flintstone feet, and I'm like, flintstone feet are magnificent.
They don't fit many shoes, but they fit me. And
(17:11):
it's like, I just it's like, it's just what it is.
So I think your your soapbox was beautiful and it
was brilliant, and I only just added tree trunk legs
and flintstone feet to it because I think that, you know,
that's exactly right, and it's like, it's so grateful to
be here. And I think that if this is the
(17:32):
suit I have, I'm good. And here's the fun thing
about the meat suit. I just have to add. As
you were talking, I was thinking to myself because I
just have to add this kind of ridiculous thing. But
it's it's true, of course, because I said it is.
Um people, it was work. I'm sure it was at
Fox and they were talking about some apocalyptic movie and
(17:53):
and blah blah blah blah about the pcalyptic movie and
I'm not you know, I would, you know, I would
really fight and to find myself in all this kind
of stuff. And I raised my hand and someding goes
what I said, eat me first. I ain't living in
that ship. Eat me first. So I acknowledged the meat part. Yeah. Nice,
And on that note, we'll be right back and welcome back,
(18:25):
and thanks again on behalf of everyone. And okay, and
they're meat suits. Okay. I love the first sentence of
this and this is actually a question, So that's good.
I love this so much. And it goes, I had
the weirdest thing happened to me today, Like you know, seriously,
(18:48):
if somebody every day would come up to me and say, hey,
I've had the weirdest thing happened to me today, every
day would be more glorious than I had anticipated. You know,
these are our people, right, I mean the Paula I
had the thing happens, bring it so, she continues. I
work for New York State and have access to the
(19:11):
State Museum in Albany. I went for a walk there
today and was fine until I got to the nine
eleven exhibit. Yeah, when I walked in, I got extremely
dizzy and almost fell. I left. I left fairly quickly
and felt totally fine after. What do you think was happening?
(19:32):
I feel like it needs some heavy duty sage in
there that just kind of like that smiling that kind
of teeth smile like emoji that I love to use.
I'm going to hand that one to you because I
find that you are for more of an expert in
this well when it comes to the tread the mass
tragedies though, I mean like they always hit you up
when they're leaving their bodies, So that's why. So yeah,
(19:57):
So first of all, I love that she is dialed
in and sensitive because that's really helpful and and made
such a beautiful choice for self care. A k A wow,
something is intense here, this is shifting. I feel unsteady.
I'm getting myself out of here right. Super helpful, super smart,
(20:18):
super wise, well done gold star. Um what I think
is happening there? As someone who so and I was.
I don't even remember what I was teaching. I may
have been teaching to row, I may have been teaching
spirit guides. I don't remember what it was. But someone
brought me into New York to teach, and they put
me at the hotel that overlooks the Leven site. I
(20:40):
was like, are you hitting me with this? So I
completely understand the experience that she's talking about, super intense. Um.
And so because this was an Albany, right, New York, Yes, Um,
what I would say is that what she was reacting
to is the people who came there and left their
(21:01):
grief in this exactly what was hitting me right, left
their grief, and that grief builds up and it will
call in spirits who passed from nine eleven right, because
it's it's a frequency match. Does that make sense, right?
So A told a way, and so it just it
just builds up, the energy builds, it starts attracting, and
(21:22):
the next thing you know, you've got a Ghostbusters movie
just waiting to be filmed right in Albany. Right. But
that's that's what happened. Now. I just want to say
this for people who you know who experienced that sort
of thing. If if that is your experience, honor it, Like,
don't do things that put you in those situations. You know,
(21:46):
I think everyone is aware that, you know, when we
had a photo shoot, when we started this podcast. We
went to a gray and you know, I was like,
I do not I tell the photographer, I do not
want to go there. This is not okay with me.
And she was just tickled. She was so excited, right,
and I was like, I'm going to hate you for
the rest of my life. Now. I did not hate
(22:08):
her for the rest of my life, but I was
not pleased in the situation. The pictures were great, no
complains about that, but you know, I was slimed for
a month afterwards of just picking you know, spooks off me.
It was awful. And so you know, my choice is
to never be in that situation if possible, and if
I do, you know, at least have enough lead time
that you can lock down the protection. You know, whether
(22:30):
it's just light in your pockets with black termaline always
a good choice. But these are things that you know,
these are things that you can do in a way
to take care of yourself in these environments when you
know that you're sensitive. It's not a problem for many people,
and many people walk around with attachments and they don't
even know it, so um it usually it usually builds
up and has some sort of cost eventually that comes forward.
(22:51):
But so that's what i'd say about that, you know,
And I think the other thing is the prayer protection.
I think is you know, if you do choose to
enter into such a place and you have sensitivities, you know,
I bring down a ray of divine light, and that's
how it starts. Everybody, that's pretty sure. It's somewhere on
our Instagram account. UM, memorize it. It's worth it. But
(23:14):
any prayer, any prayer, will raise your frequency. Any prayer,
especially when that you say a lot like it's it's in.
Your frequency is already activated. So you can just say
that too. You don't have to learn a new one,
and and and so you know, whatever it is to
help you get through that energy. I'm gonna tell you
just this fun I didn't even think about this, but
this morning, um, when I was walking a little sticky pie.
(23:38):
There are a lot of um like in the square
and Santa Fe. There's a lot of shops right, There's
a lot of animal skins. There's a lot of things
that are made from animals ceremoniously usually ceremoniously. Absolutely, and
that changes the frequency. It does change it. But I
(23:59):
will tell you I walked past one particular store this morning,
and I glanced over to my left and I felt
that kind of pit in my stomach, and I think
every animal that had been sacrificed for whatever it was
that was in that store that I did not take
a good look at because I felt it, and I'm like,
I need to thank those creatures for being here. Glad
(24:21):
you were here, you were needed, and you were wanted.
And and then I get so I have gratitude, and
then I apologized that if it was a difficult crossing. Um,
but you know, so I do. That's the whole and
I think you taught me that animal thing and it
actually has absolutely shifted me with its shoes, clothes, furniture,
(24:42):
decorative things. And I say this because if this one
would go back into the nine eleven Museum, she could
actually thank those that have that were sacrificed for that
and those that had lost and give them gratitude and
maybe that might help a little bit. But that's just yeah,
and again, offering a prayer for them, Like, yes, offering
(25:02):
a prayer is a huge um and people often forget
how how impactful that is in the in the energetic field. Yeah, yeah,
super important. Yeah, what you put out right, Yeah, and
I think of everything like it's just such a okay,
now I'm going to pontificate for a second, but it
(25:23):
is that whole. But you know, thought Greace reality, right,
I mean thought is where everything begins. And so how
could it not shift a situation? Well, what they would
say is, when you think about something, it sets up
of a frequency. Right, whether I'm thinking about creating something,
or I'm thinking about work I have to do, or
(25:44):
I'm thinking about someone I love or someone I'm I'm
in conflict with, or you know, whatever it is i'm
thinking about, it's x. Whatever that frequency is, it's x.
But when you pray about something, it is ten x.
It literally amplifies the frequency of that thing. So that's
(26:05):
why the power of prayer is such an underutilized tool.
And I believe they've done a lot of studies on prayer.
They've also done a lot of studies on gratitude, like
the practice of gratitude just writing down three things that
you're grateful for at the same time, you know, morning, noon,
or night, you know, but you know, pick that time
(26:26):
and say this is my my gratitude practice. Just writing
down three things every day that you're grateful for actually
um you know has health benefits is what they find, right,
and so that can be defined in a lot of
different ways, but that's basically what the studies point to
because it's raising your frequency. And then again, prayer would
(26:47):
raise the frequency even beyond gratitude. But oftentimes prayers are
like you did for the animals that passed, thank you
for being here, thank you like it's it's it's a
beautiful acknowledgement. What you just said reminds me. I think
we did an episode gosh, it might have been a
few years ago, and it was the H two Woe
(27:07):
and it was the work of Dr Omoto, right, and
how he went and he looked under a microscope at
the water from is the zam Zam water which is
um right outside of Mecca, and how that structure of
those water crystals cannot be broken because it's thousands and
(27:29):
thousands of bright it cannot be broken. So I'm just
supporting what you just said with a little bit of
science behind that, and more science because you add a
little bit yourself. But but it's just like when you
were talking like, oh, zam Zam water, Zamzam water, zamza.
The praying over for all of those centuries is it
(27:49):
makes it unbreakable. So and so I think that's when
you pray a prayer that look, I'm all about prayer
comes in endless forms. But when you pray prayer that's
been said for centuries, it is because that homeomorphic field
gets activated. So you have all that working on your
(28:11):
on your side, right, So it's it's exponentially powerful. So
but pray from your heart directly, absolutely all the time.
That's interesting and you can and I'm sorry, I want
to go back to what you just said, because that's
like an old prayer, any any prayer that someone you
know that's been for centuries, right, it's like taking a
(28:33):
sea water, so it's beautiful. So yeah, and again I
think it's it's people underestimate the power of the of
prayer and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, it's also
been thrown away lately, let's be honest, like say, you know,
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, this has been a
(28:54):
it's been tossed aside when something tragic has happened and
they're like, oh, thoughts and prayers, and it's like, no,
that's not that's not actually a prayer. Tweeting thoughts and prayers.
Tweeting thoughts and prayers is not a prayer, and it
is not just for the record. Prayer is done, you know,
(29:16):
in sacred space, and it can be in the cave
of your heart in a huge crowd. Silently and authentically
felt prayer is more powerful than anything that showy and
unified with thousands, that is just surface. So never understimate
the power thousand that each one of us have to
(29:40):
to reclaim or trans transmute a space. We we all
have power, and we've we've been in those situations where
someone who is authentically charged can inspire or bring down
the frequency that everyone's experiencing. And you are no less
powerful than that one person. So that's how I beautifully said.
(30:03):
Think about that beautifully said, and and the question, and
it was magnificent. Um, I think we all actually learned
a lot from your response. Honestly, I'm gonna go pray.
I pray all the time, like it's it's unending. Yeah,

Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side, a production
of My Heart Radio. Hi, y'all, I'm Julie. Hi there,
I'm Brenda. Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side. Now,
y'all need to know that we are obsessed with everything
on the other side. Yes, we are, because once you
(00:22):
learn to navigate the energetic, or to some the invisible world,
life is going to be more fun and much more serene. Heck,
yes it can, because, let's be honest, brand Earth school
is hard. In fact, you taught me that, let's crush
Earth School together. Well, hello, m I am doing great
(00:48):
my health and how are you. I am fan freaking tastic. Indeed,
I am so inspired artistically living here in Santa Fe
that I can't even tell. I mean, it's amazing. I'm
so happy. I'm happy for Yeah. Well, you know, when
I get going, you always get boxes. I love boxes
(01:10):
from my oup. Always get something creative, force for good.
I love it. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. Anything
I can integrate crystals into I will Yeah. That makes
me happy, exactly right. So what do you have for
us today? Well, today we're going to do Insider's Insight
(01:31):
because we haven't done one in a bit, and we
have a little bit of a backup. We have been
we have been lax well because you know, let me
less be honest. I've even process taring it up. Yeah,
you've been. I've been tearing it up with life lessons
with our schools. So let's talk about other people's stories.
(01:54):
So this one's kind of long, but I love this
person how they talk about their dog. So yeah, it's
a terrible story. But um but I think it's So
it's a long one. Sobody just like, you know, get comfortable,
get a cocktail, get a cup of hot tea, whatever
it is. But I'm gonna go ahead and start. Are
(02:14):
you ready? Bring it all? Right? This past saturday, our
neighbor shot our dog Goliath. Like I said, this is
not a good story. I mean coming like, did not
bury the lead, like went out there with it right there.
Uh huh. They said he was attacking their chickens. I
miss My baby Goliath has been breaking out of the
(02:38):
fence by tearing the chain link from the pole on
the fence door. We tried to secure it without completely
redoing it, but it didn't work. There's a lesson in there. Everybody.
They got out and he went to the neighbors, and
the neighbors said he was attacking their chickens. But I
don't believe that because Goliath was at the type to Okay,
this is a really long one. I told you guys,
because because wasn't the type a type to attack anything.
(03:00):
He was very common sweet or other dogs, Joker and Queen. Okay,
by the way, was the names of these animals. I
mean like a plus plus on this, like winning the
naming game. Um would be the type to attack the chickens.
But anyway, the neighbor knows our dogs and has pet
them before, but still chose to shoot Goliath and kill him.
(03:22):
And then the guy left him laying in their yard
and didn't tell us. We called for Goliath for an
hour and searched for him, and my fiancee, Cherokee, was
about to go ask the neighbor if they had seen him.
That's when Cherokee, that's his name, found Goliath and he
was already stiff. We miss him so much. We are
(03:43):
grieving now. We buried him in the yard and put
concrete over the grave. I mean that's intense, and drew
his name and we love you on it. Oh my god,
this is killing me. I just wish I could have
him back. I keep talking to him in my mind
and telling him I miss him and love him. It
rained last night and the dirt under the concrete on
(04:05):
his grave softened and caused the concrete to rise up.
I saw it, and I said, oh my god, even
in death, you can't stay contained. L O L. I
don't think this was a question. I think this is
a story. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. It's such
an incredible story, but how devastating. See. Actually, I think
(04:27):
she in my world is a hero because I could
have possibly killed the person that killed my doll. So
that took a lot of restraint. Cancel cla Okay, canceled,
Claire canceled Claire Star Sorry, yes, I mean obviously. And
she has other dogs to take care of, so it's
important should not be in jail for something like that. So, wow,
(04:52):
that's super intense, and so there's not really a question
on top of that. I don't think there was a question.
I I think that it was a story, and I'm
wondering if Goliath was trying to make last appearance for them,
you know, in the way of the ground moving up
(05:14):
and all of that kind of stuff like just like
I'm cool, I'm okay, right right, well obviously sending sending
a final message for sure, but just and I love
her read of it, writing you cannot be contained and
I would just rely just share the story when when
my dog died completely different than Goliath, but um, you know,
(05:36):
shit to not even she was like fifty pounds, big,
big for sh But when after she passed, Um, I
we went to a park. I just needed to be
outside and I saw her spirit how big it was,
like it filled the sky. It literally filled the sky.
Just comforted, comforted me to no end, Like how did
that giant spirit fit into that little furry body. And
(06:00):
and so when you think of Goliath and spirit being
so rambunctious and sweet and kind and you know, but
couldn't be contained, Like that's that's the one thing that
really struck me in my experience when when Maggie passed
and then so then this like we can't contain their
spirit is in the end, he's showing you that he's
(06:21):
like I'm here as as I always am, Like it changed,
my form has changed, but I'm still here, And I
think that's the important thing. And you know, we talk
about our furry babies a lot, you know, because they
are a part of our family. They are family, total family, Yes,
and so I think that So that's I mean, it's
just so very clear. Cannot be contained in the expansiveness
(06:45):
and the endlessness of that love connection is Let it
be tangible, let it be real. Still talk to him,
help him, you know, have him help the other dogs.
That's a great way to keep engaged. So that would
be give him a job. They love what we did
with Homer. You know, the Homewer has his own job
in mind. I mean he still he still comes and
(07:06):
visits Alex, our god daughter regularly. In fact, one of
the things that we did that Susanne did when we
were the Purge, the Purge, I think is going to
keep coming up for a long time. We're doing the
Purge um. When we did the Purge there we had
these photographs, these like professional photographs that Tricia Wood had
done for us of Homer and Punky and Suzanne looked
(07:30):
at that and she goes, you know how much we
love homwer. She goes, but I think Alex actually needs
this portrait of him. And so Suzanne sent it to
Alex so she had Homer professional photo. Right. So there
they are there, they are so much more than how
(07:51):
people perceive them to be and still available. Right, that's right,
that's the big takeaway there, without a doubt, without a doubt. Wow,
and thank you guys. So that wasn't a question. But
it was a really a magical story and how she
perceives and how she felt Goliath spirits. So and you know,
I always love a little giggle with grieving. I mean
(08:11):
I love a little giggle with anything. I think it
makes everything. You know, this dog with concrete like concrete,
concrete is not a problem. I can get through that.
And I will just say that's amazing. You know, for
this situation, the events that they didn't have a quote
(08:32):
unquote repaired properly. If he wanted to get out, he
was going to get out. He was just that kind
of dog like he was. He like to challenge, right right, yeah,
or a great game of you know, tug or tag
war or something like he just loved he liked that
kind of playfulness challenge for him. Yeah. Well, I think
this story is saddening, saddening, angering, I can't lie. Angered,
(08:58):
me when I first read it, it's a little rough.
I just don't think it's okay. It's not okay. And um,
I think people can be horrible and evil, and that
was an evil thing to do. But I think the
way that she handled it and how she told the
story and how much she loves and in the fact
they poured concrete and they I mean that is like,
that's honoring. So I do love that. Um, but I'm
(09:20):
sorry that she had to go through it. So um, yeah,
why would take a quick break so I could be
sad about it? And just thanks for sharing. Okay, we'll
be right back everybody, and not it won't be about
this again. I hope we'll see. Yeah, we'll be right
(09:41):
back everybody, and welcome back. Thanks. I'm speaking on behalf
of all of our listeners, not just me. I have
another This one is actually a question, even though the
first one wasn't technically a question. Um, okay, here we go, hi, ladies.
(10:04):
I've been doing a lot of reflecting on my body
image and how I'm so critical of myself. Welcome to
being a woman. To sum it up, I've gained twenty
pounds since college, and I pretty much based my value
self worth on my physical appearance. Even when I was
a hundred and ten pounds. Okay, for the record, I
(10:25):
was born a D ten pounds. I think it's all
my birth certificate, so adding onto that you are still
Danny tiny eighty eny when there okay anyway, Um, even
when I was a D ten pounds, no one asked
for my commentary, but you get it anyway. Um, even
when I was a hundred and ten pounds as a
result of not oh whoops, of not eating due to stress,
(10:48):
finals for getting to eat, not having time to eat,
it still wasn't good enough. I'm thankful for the body
positivity movement, but I'm still so dot dot dot, I guess,
ashamed of how I look. What is something I can
keep in mind to help me learn to accept myself
no matter what size or shape I am, and ignore
(11:11):
the paranoia of what others may be thinking. As a
hell of a question. By the way, yeah, Nail, I
mean there's a lot going on there. Yeah. I mean,
first of all, thank you for being so vulnerable and
so transparent of and generous with your experience, because there's
(11:36):
not a person on the planet who hasn't felt some
version of that I'm not saying you're exact or even
that it was about body weight, but just you know,
these bodies that are heavy, they're awkward, they're high maintenance,
come on, right, and some or more pleasing to eyes
than others. I mean, and I'm not being ugly about it,
but it's like, you know, that's that's the true some
(12:00):
people view and then some get the Yeah, some get
the physical lottery, and you know, others get the you know, Chevrolet,
which is which is fine, Like we we um we
get what we get, and there's a reason we get
what we get. It's based on karma. And the truth
(12:25):
is it doesn't matter what you get because you get
what you've got, and what you've got is what you
have to work with. And you can't do Earth school
work without one of these bodies, full stop, full stop.
So whatever body you have, however shape, functional level, you know,
(12:46):
quote unquote defects like differently abled, like whatever it is
that you have, neuro atypical happening, firing whatever, these bodies
are the only game in town. So you have to honor, like, Okay,
this is what I'm running in the field today, you know,
(13:07):
And I really like the concept of I think of
these bodies as outfits. Do you know I like pulling
together little outfits. It's my only creative expression. And me,
who I consider myself very creative, don't give two ships
about outfits. Well, you have your own outfit that you like, right,
(13:28):
it's usually nect t exactly right, yeah right, And that's
your that's your oufit, Like it's just a uniform. But
the bodies that are are the outfit that we're going
to use in this lifetime. And if you want it
to be different, if you you know, need a little
whatever it is is ug up of something. Talk to
(13:49):
someone knows how to that particular outfit that you have, Like,
that's how I think of it. I have one of
my teachers, one of my Aribatic teachers, always called it
the meat suit. You know, we were we wear these
meat suits. I'm like, that is so vulgar, like it
justn't like but she's like, no, that's what it is,
Like we literally like you know. And then there's Lady
Gaga who literally works literally look at you. Okay, it
(14:17):
happened like ten years ago or whatever back, but my
point is like that's what she would call, like it's
just a meat suit. It houses our spirit. It houses
our spirit, and it is designed in a specific way
so that we can express an experience the sole contract
that we came in with. That's it, Like, that's that's
(14:38):
how if you can start looking at your body in
through those eyes and not experience the pop culture or
fashion bullshit lends that people pressure people for, Like, don't
succumb to that. They have no idea what your soul
came to experience. Don't don't take on that level of dysfunction.
(14:59):
And you can be aware of it, but you don't
have to internalize it. Right, that's the differential. You're never
going to not be aware of it. If you are
a woman on the planet, you get judged every time
you show up someplace. Walking into the grocery store, someone's
gonna someone is going to judge you. It could be
the cashier, it could be the you know whoever. But
(15:22):
that doesn't mean that they say it out loud or
maybe they do whatever, but it doesn't have anything to
do with you. Remember, the assessment belongs to the assessy,
not the assess or right the person who's having an opinion.
It's the opinion that they are making that belongs to them.
It doesn't belong to you that they're making it about.
So full stop there, and then your job is to
go this is the vehicle by which I experience Earth
(15:45):
School and which my soul will activate in a way
to expand and learn and heal and create healing for
others or whatever path you're on. But if you can
get out of the pop culture lens and put on
the lens of my spiritual soul, it really helps to understand.
This is how I come to the game. This is
(16:06):
how I come to our school every day. Yeah, and
start being grateful for your body, Start going thank you
do I wish you are a different shape, yes, but
I am so grateful that I have the shape I have.
I have a body that's functioning, because do you know
how long your soul waiting to have a body A
long time, A really long time. So that's myself. I
(16:27):
love your soapbox, and you know, listen, her message is
loudly received by I think virtually everybody listening, and including
us obviously struggled with that stuff. And I will say
Suzanne has always kind of teased me. I have short
legs and they're like tree trunks, and I am so
(16:49):
grateful for my tree trunks. I have the most amazing
balance because I have a lower synergravity. So ham she
used to joke about my shoes and because I have
a wide foot high art to be like, oh, just
throw away the shoes and wear the boxes. It's called
the flintstone feet, and I'm like, flintstone feet are magnificent.
They don't fit many shoes, but they fit me. And
(17:11):
it's like, I just it's like, it's just what it is.
So I think your your soapbox was beautiful and it
was brilliant, and I only just added tree trunk legs
and flintstone feet to it because I think that, you know,
that's exactly right, and it's like, it's so grateful to
be here. And I think that if this is the
(17:32):
suit I have, I'm good. And here's the fun thing
about the meat suit. I just have to add. As
you were talking, I was thinking to myself because I
just have to add this kind of ridiculous thing. But
it's it's true, of course, because I said it is.
Um people, it was work. I'm sure it was at
Fox and they were talking about some apocalyptic movie and
(17:53):
and blah blah blah blah about the pcalyptic movie and
I'm not you know, I would, you know, I would
really fight and to find myself in all this kind
of stuff. And I raised my hand and someding goes
what I said, eat me first. I ain't living in
that ship. Eat me first. So I acknowledged the meat part. Yeah. Nice,
And on that note, we'll be right back and welcome back,
(18:25):
and thanks again on behalf of everyone. And okay, and
they're meat suits. Okay. I love the first sentence of
this and this is actually a question, So that's good.
I love this so much. And it goes, I had
the weirdest thing happened to me today, Like you know, seriously,
(18:48):
if somebody every day would come up to me and say, hey,
I've had the weirdest thing happened to me today, every
day would be more glorious than I had anticipated. You know,
these are our people, right, I mean the Paula I
had the thing happens, bring it so, she continues. I
work for New York State and have access to the
(19:11):
State Museum in Albany. I went for a walk there
today and was fine until I got to the nine
eleven exhibit. Yeah, when I walked in, I got extremely
dizzy and almost fell. I left. I left fairly quickly
and felt totally fine after. What do you think was happening?
(19:32):
I feel like it needs some heavy duty sage in
there that just kind of like that smiling that kind
of teeth smile like emoji that I love to use.
I'm going to hand that one to you because I
find that you are for more of an expert in
this well when it comes to the tread the mass
tragedies though, I mean like they always hit you up
when they're leaving their bodies, So that's why. So yeah,
(19:57):
So first of all, I love that she is dialed
in and sensitive because that's really helpful and and made
such a beautiful choice for self care. A k A wow,
something is intense here, this is shifting. I feel unsteady.
I'm getting myself out of here right. Super helpful, super smart,
(20:18):
super wise, well done gold star. Um what I think
is happening there? As someone who so and I was.
I don't even remember what I was teaching. I may
have been teaching to row, I may have been teaching
spirit guides. I don't remember what it was. But someone
brought me into New York to teach, and they put
me at the hotel that overlooks the Leven site. I
(20:40):
was like, are you hitting me with this? So I
completely understand the experience that she's talking about, super intense. Um.
And so because this was an Albany, right, New York, Yes, Um,
what I would say is that what she was reacting
to is the people who came there and left their
(21:01):
grief in this exactly what was hitting me right, left
their grief, and that grief builds up and it will
call in spirits who passed from nine eleven right, because
it's it's a frequency match. Does that make sense, right?
So A told a way, and so it just it
just builds up, the energy builds, it starts attracting, and
(21:22):
the next thing you know, you've got a Ghostbusters movie
just waiting to be filmed right in Albany. Right. But
that's that's what happened. Now. I just want to say
this for people who you know who experienced that sort
of thing. If if that is your experience, honor it, Like,
don't do things that put you in those situations. You know,
(21:46):
I think everyone is aware that, you know, when we
had a photo shoot, when we started this podcast. We
went to a gray and you know, I was like,
I do not I tell the photographer, I do not
want to go there. This is not okay with me.
And she was just tickled. She was so excited, right,
and I was like, I'm going to hate you for
the rest of my life. Now. I did not hate
(22:08):
her for the rest of my life, but I was
not pleased in the situation. The pictures were great, no
complains about that, but you know, I was slimed for
a month afterwards of just picking you know, spooks off me.
It was awful. And so you know, my choice is
to never be in that situation if possible, and if
I do, you know, at least have enough lead time
that you can lock down the protection. You know, whether
(22:30):
it's just light in your pockets with black termaline always
a good choice. But these are things that you know,
these are things that you can do in a way
to take care of yourself in these environments when you
know that you're sensitive. It's not a problem for many people,
and many people walk around with attachments and they don't
even know it, so um it usually it usually builds
up and has some sort of cost eventually that comes forward.
(22:51):
But so that's what i'd say about that, you know,
And I think the other thing is the prayer protection.
I think is you know, if you do choose to
enter into such a place and you have sensitivities, you know,
I bring down a ray of divine light, and that's
how it starts. Everybody, that's pretty sure. It's somewhere on
our Instagram account. UM, memorize it. It's worth it. But
(23:14):
any prayer, any prayer, will raise your frequency. Any prayer,
especially when that you say a lot like it's it's in.
Your frequency is already activated. So you can just say
that too. You don't have to learn a new one,
and and and so you know, whatever it is to
help you get through that energy. I'm gonna tell you
just this fun I didn't even think about this, but
this morning, um, when I was walking a little sticky pie.
(23:38):
There are a lot of um like in the square
and Santa Fe. There's a lot of shops right, There's
a lot of animal skins. There's a lot of things
that are made from animals ceremoniously usually ceremoniously. Absolutely, and
that changes the frequency. It does change it. But I
(23:59):
will tell you I walked past one particular store this morning,
and I glanced over to my left and I felt
that kind of pit in my stomach, and I think
every animal that had been sacrificed for whatever it was
that was in that store that I did not take
a good look at because I felt it, and I'm like,
I need to thank those creatures for being here. Glad
(24:21):
you were here, you were needed, and you were wanted.
And and then I get so I have gratitude, and
then I apologized that if it was a difficult crossing. Um,
but you know, so I do. That's the whole and
I think you taught me that animal thing and it
actually has absolutely shifted me with its shoes, clothes, furniture,
(24:42):
decorative things. And I say this because if this one
would go back into the nine eleven Museum, she could
actually thank those that have that were sacrificed for that
and those that had lost and give them gratitude and
maybe that might help a little bit. But that's just yeah,
and again, offering a prayer for them, Like, yes, offering
(25:02):
a prayer is a huge um and people often forget
how how impactful that is in the in the energetic field. Yeah, yeah,
super important. Yeah, what you put out right, Yeah, and
I think of everything like it's just such a okay,
now I'm going to pontificate for a second, but it
(25:23):
is that whole. But you know, thought Greace reality, right,
I mean thought is where everything begins. And so how
could it not shift a situation? Well, what they would
say is, when you think about something, it sets up
of a frequency. Right, whether I'm thinking about creating something,
or I'm thinking about work I have to do, or
(25:44):
I'm thinking about someone I love or someone I'm I'm
in conflict with, or you know, whatever it is i'm
thinking about, it's x. Whatever that frequency is, it's x.
But when you pray about something, it is ten x.
It literally amplifies the frequency of that thing. So that's
(26:05):
why the power of prayer is such an underutilized tool.
And I believe they've done a lot of studies on prayer.
They've also done a lot of studies on gratitude, like
the practice of gratitude just writing down three things that
you're grateful for at the same time, you know, morning, noon,
or night, you know, but you know, pick that time
(26:26):
and say this is my my gratitude practice. Just writing
down three things every day that you're grateful for actually
um you know has health benefits is what they find, right,
and so that can be defined in a lot of
different ways, but that's basically what the studies point to
because it's raising your frequency. And then again, prayer would
(26:47):
raise the frequency even beyond gratitude. But oftentimes prayers are
like you did for the animals that passed, thank you
for being here, thank you like it's it's it's a
beautiful acknowledgement. What you just said reminds me. I think
we did an episode gosh, it might have been a
few years ago, and it was the H two Woe
(27:07):
and it was the work of Dr Omoto, right, and
how he went and he looked under a microscope at
the water from is the zam Zam water which is
um right outside of Mecca, and how that structure of
those water crystals cannot be broken because it's thousands and
(27:29):
thousands of bright it cannot be broken. So I'm just
supporting what you just said with a little bit of
science behind that, and more science because you add a
little bit yourself. But but it's just like when you
were talking like, oh, zam Zam water, Zamzam water, zamza.
The praying over for all of those centuries is it
(27:49):
makes it unbreakable. So and so I think that's when
you pray a prayer that look, I'm all about prayer
comes in endless forms. But when you pray prayer that's
been said for centuries, it is because that homeomorphic field
gets activated. So you have all that working on your
(28:11):
on your side, right, So it's it's exponentially powerful. So
but pray from your heart directly, absolutely all the time.
That's interesting and you can and I'm sorry, I want
to go back to what you just said, because that's
like an old prayer, any any prayer that someone you
know that's been for centuries, right, it's like taking a
(28:33):
sea water, so it's beautiful. So yeah, and again I
think it's it's people underestimate the power of the of
prayer and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, it's also
been thrown away lately, let's be honest, like say, you know,
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, this has been a
(28:54):
it's been tossed aside when something tragic has happened and
they're like, oh, thoughts and prayers, and it's like, no,
that's not that's not actually a prayer. Tweeting thoughts and prayers.
Tweeting thoughts and prayers is not a prayer, and it
is not just for the record. Prayer is done, you know,
(29:16):
in sacred space, and it can be in the cave
of your heart in a huge crowd. Silently and authentically
felt prayer is more powerful than anything that showy and
unified with thousands, that is just surface. So never understimate
the power thousand that each one of us have to
(29:40):
to reclaim or trans transmute a space. We we all
have power, and we've we've been in those situations where
someone who is authentically charged can inspire or bring down
the frequency that everyone's experiencing. And you are no less
powerful than that one person. So that's how I beautifully said.
(30:03):
Think about that beautifully said, and and the question, and
it was magnificent. Um, I think we all actually learned
a lot from your response. Honestly, I'm gonna go pray.
I pray all the time, like it's it's unending. Yeah,
