After being diagnosed with breast cancer and losing her job a few years ago, our listener Katerina is struggling with finding a new position and trying to figure out what’s next for her in her self-described “middle age”.
Amanda gives Katerina a live psychic reading with messages about:
- Getting clear with the voice in your head
- Throwing out the idea of middle-aged
- Feeling clueless in life
- Figuring out where you belong professionally
- Finding a sense of fulfillment from the inside out
- Attracting & respecting your money
- Noticing pleasant no-strings-attached interactions
Amanda also talks about the importance of shifting your language and noticing your internal dialog. She reminds Katerina about the power of your voice: semantics matter!!
Begin to eliminate words like “can’t” “but” and “maybe.” Instead, be clear and positive - using phrases like:
- “I am so excited to have the feeling that this is all synchronized”
- “I am enjoying feeling this encouragement”
- “Thank you God / Soul / Universe”
- “I needed these things, I deserve them, and I want more”
- “Thank you for the divine orchestration of things even when I don't know what’s coming down”
And one final & important reminder from Amanda: “We can always begin again…at any time!”

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions today.
I've got a listener who has graciously and vulnerably and
courageously agreed to do a live reading some Q and
A to be intimate and vulnerable and also to be
open to guidance and solutions. So welcome, Katerina.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You bet, I'm thrilled to connect with you, and I'm
ready to dive in because We've got some juicy stuff
coming through that I think is going to I don't think.
I know. They're showing me very quickly. They're saying, stop talking, Amanda,
we want to talk. Your soul wants to talk. I said, okay, okay.
One of the things that they are showing me about
you is that you are a beautiful communicator. Communication is
(00:53):
one of your greatest gifts in this lifetime. And not
only the words that you speak to other people and
how you interact in day to day a personal expression
and dialogue, but also the voicing in your head. And
this is a time of getting very clear with the
voicing your head, the limiting dialogue and the expansive dialogue alike,
and not discounting any of it really recognizing where you
(01:14):
are feeling pushback and resistance. And when they say pushback
and resistance, a lot of it means this sense of
going out against the current versus turnaround and swimming with
the current. So finding places where you feel relaxed and
you can also feel relaxed in the tension in your mind.
And one of the things you shared a handful of things,
and I'm going to share that with our listeners right now.
(01:37):
You lost a job a few years ago, you were
diagnosed with breast cancer. You have had a massive struggle
in finding a new professional position. You also self proclaimed
said your middle age. I know you are in your fifties,
but girl, I think a j Lo and Jennifer Aniston,
and I think, hey, look at those women in there,
(02:00):
Gwyneth Paltrow. You know, those just people pop to mind,
and I'm like, their fifties to me look like their
early forties living their best life. And your soul is
saying hello, throw out the middle aged and recognize you
have this opportunity now to speak with truth, to use
that beautiful voice of yours because you have it and
really dynamically transform not only the way that you communicate
(02:24):
in the world, but the way you communicate to yourself,
and it takes a little work. It takes diligence, and
it takes patience and trust. And you're in a year
that is bold, it's dynamic. It's also a year of
spiritual revitalization, seeking and searching. We'll talk about work in
a second, but I actually want to talk about your
breast cancer first. How are you doing health wise? Because
they're showing me you've had success and I don't know
(02:46):
if you're in remission, but that's what they're showing me
that your body as well, you've responded well to treatment
and you're in a maintenance phase.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is that true.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's exactly right. That's exactly what's happening right now. And
I'm so grateful for that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Gosh, I am too.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And I don't know if you know this, but I
just lost my mother to from metastatic breast cancer. She
had breast cancer when I was a teenager and had
no repercussions, and then it metastasized to her bones a
handful of years ago. So breast cancer runs in my
family and it's a very it's very close to me personally.
I've lost people but I've also seen people win and
(03:22):
I am amazed by science and medicine, but I'm also
what I know is the power of the mind. And
not only is your body strong and well, your mind
says all right, get on board, look at the miracles
that have happened in your body and being appreciative of
your doctors. They're talking to me about your physician team,
the care teams. You've had, the people that have shown
(03:43):
up in your life to take care of you. You've
developed some safety and trust and healthy relationships in those
people along the way.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Is that resonating one hundred percent? I would not be
where I am today without my care team. I've worked
closely with them for the past two years and I
needed them.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And you know what, it makes me want to cry
because I for me, that's very personal with my mom.
But they're showing me that and like and it's also
I know my mom's spirit is here because she's like
she's winning. She's winning, she has people loving and caring
for her. And those are the kind of things right
now for you, Like you're a miracle. You have this
not just second chance, you have this chance right now
(04:25):
not only to be healthy and well, and recreate parts
of your life like you're at a jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You're not going down girl like this this is rich,
juicy space.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
But those people, you know, the moments when you are
struggling and stressed and can't find your clarity. And one
of the things that I love that you ask in
your questions, you said, I just feel clueless in life. You,
my friend, are anything but clueless. You can feel that
way and I feel that way. And for you, where
you feel clueless is emotionally because your mind is adept,
(04:58):
you are intelligent, you're precise, you are a very fast thinker.
I mean your brain is usually going and going, being able.
It's the emotional overwhelmed sometimes for you that clouds things,
that creates the cluelessness. And you're not clueless. And then
I think of the movie Clueless, you know, and I
think about how funny that movie was and silly, but
(05:18):
how wise she was.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Do you remember watching Clueless? You know? I don't think.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay, okay, you got to watch Clueless. It has Alicia
Silverstone in it. It's from the early nineties, and she's
a total She's a Beverly Hills girl, total dits. But
she's wise, and she's always moving from the heart. I
want you to watch it. That's your homework. And what
I love about this is when our souls show up.
Our souls show up with tools that are sometimes just
(05:44):
almost seemingly so silly and mundane, but they're so rich
in wisdom. And in that movie, and my gosh, I
haven't watched Clueless in a long time. In that movie,
she may be ditsy and superficial in ways, but all
of her interactions are about meaning and making things better
and giving back and friendship. And now I'm gonna have
to watch it. But okay, part of your homework is
(06:06):
to watch Clueless. Laugh your behind off, but also remember
that you're not clueless. And clueless is a great place
to start, because the fact that you can say I
feel that way, I feel clueless in life.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I know people relate to that.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I relate to that that you may be clueless, you
may be a little powerless over not having the job
and the financial security and the stability and the direction
you want right now, but you're not helpless. And I
get that, and I'm taking that from one of my
spiritual guides and counselors. And that's what she says, powerless, always, always, helpless,
(06:42):
never meaning I can do something about this. And you're
something right now is in your voice and your perspective
and your ability to start to say, okay, right now,
I'm healthy and well. I've had a care team that's
supported me. Let me think about work. Tell what did
you when you got let go from your job a
few years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
What were you doing? What is your profession been?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Because one of the things they show me about you
is you get bored easily. You are a master of
many things. Sometimes it can feel scattered, your energy can
feel scattered, but you know how to do a lot
of things well. And that can be confusing, by the way,
because it's like, but I'm not just one person, and
hold on your soul is talking so darn fast, But
let me tell you what they're relating.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Back to me.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I heard an interview with Lenny Kravitz a while back,
maybe in Rolling Stone, and he said, you know, when
I was twelve years old, I knew I wanted to
be a musician. When I grew up, I knew that
I was going to be a musician. And he said, so,
I don't always understand when people say they don't know
who they are what they want to be. And I thought, gosh,
that's really interesting because I feel like my personality, my
(07:50):
skill sets, they continue to morph and shift and change,
and I'm not just or I'm not one thing. And
I love that he's one thing because he's an amazing
musician and a pretty credible artists and soul.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But that is not my story. I am a multitude
of things.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You are very multifaceted as well, in your talents, your gifts,
and your abilities. You're proficient, you learn fast, and you
have lots of skill sets. Is this resonating? Yeah, it's
confusing too, right that, like, you know how to do
lots of things well, but you can't figure out, well,
who am I professionally or where do.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I belong professionalists?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Or where do I belong? So tell me what were you?
Back to the question I asked.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And I still consider myself to be a journalist. I'm
a news reporter. And I loved it. And you're right,
I juggle one hundred things all at once, all at
the same time, and that's why I'm I don't want
to say scatter rain, but I'm a little bit like, Yeah,
you're absolutely right. I get bored easily because I love
being in the thick of very multiple things happening all
(08:54):
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
A journalist makes so much sense to me because back
to communication being your greatest ad in this lifetime, and
we all are learning to communicate. It's all an asset
for each of us.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But it's a gift.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's a God given gift, your ability to assimilate information, rapidly,
share it, communicate it fast quick. Logically, I mean, that's
what you do. So the investigative journalism, the journalism, the
reporter aspect.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Of you, is not lost. It is. It is evolving.
So think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And let me just give you some homework and that
and an easy tool and trick when you go to
bed at night. And I share this all the time
because it's what I've used for a long time in
my prayers when I settle down, when I begin to
shut my brain off and relax into my body, saying, hey, soul,
higher self, you know I recognize I'm here to communicate,
(09:42):
and I'm here to also feel inspired through my communication,
because that's what's lacking in you right now, is inspiration.
It's not that you're not motivated, Not that you haven't
been hitting the pavement. No, I am here to inspire
and feel inspired, to inspire and receive information. Show me
that I'm ready, and help me to make it lucrative
(10:04):
again in a new way that makes sense to me,
that aligns with me today and now am my voice now?
And you know it's interesting. Let's go back to the
breast cancer a minute, and you being a journalist and
us talking about caregivers and care teams and physicians and
treatments and all of the medical procedures and team that
(10:25):
goes with that. There's a part of you that is
wanting to summon your humanitarian meaning, your mission and your
purpose and making a difference, making an impact, leaving the
place better than when you came. Why don't you talk
to something that is clear to your heart around your
ability to look at healthcare or look at breast cancer,
(10:48):
or use your voice or work in cancer or oncology
or medical writing and not solely reporting facts around medical
trends or research, but talking to patients, talking to caregivers,
talking to physicians, maybe working for a medical journal or
(11:10):
And I don't necessarily mean the scientific aspect of that.
I almost mean working in the world of nonprofit in
terms of being a publicist or a communicator or a marketer,
a business development person for nonprofits in the healthcare arena.
And this is what they're showing me very clearly, is
if you were to do some to broaden your net
(11:32):
in terms of donor relations, and here's the way they
show it to They just link things that I know
one of my sisters, that's a lot of what she does.
She helps nonprofits. She helps companies and organizations with their
foundations raise money and make sure that money is appropriately
allocated to whatever cause they are supporting. And she knows
(11:56):
the ins and outs of that. So she works with
a lot of donor relations, big time fundraising and how
that's allocated. Those kinds of things they're showing me. You
doing something donor related with nonprofits where people are raising
and allocating money, but you're communicating around here's where the
(12:18):
money is going to, Here's how much money we raise,
and these are the lives it's impacting. Here's the personal stories.
Here are the differences it's made. Is this like because
they say they're like, there is there is work, there's
opportunity for you in this and I'm not saying that
this is where your sole source of money is just
going to start coming through. But I think there's some
(12:39):
voice or advocacy for you where you could even freelance
or get an actual position within a nonprofit around press releases,
donor relations linking personal stories, helping create videos or marketing
materials or campaigns that helps with fundraising.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Is this resonating?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It is?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I love this for you because I think it's important,
and it's what the story they're telling me.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Is this.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The story they're telling me? Is this which goes back
to my mom?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Which this makes me happy to talk to you, because
my mother keeps coming through and she doesn't come through
in sessions very often. So my half sister, the one
that I'm talking about, she had done a lot of
fundraising for a couple of grants around a cancer drug,
and unbeknownst to my mom, my mom ended up having
(13:36):
one of those cancer medications, and it was one of
those ridiculously expensive ones, you know, like twenty thousand a
month or something crazy, and her insurance wouldn't cover all
of it. The oncology team had her apply for a
grant and she was able to get it covered well.
A couple of years down the road, my sister and
my mom are talking and she says, and my sister says,
(13:57):
oh my gosh, that's the green that I helped raise
the X amount of million dollars for. You know, Oh
my goodness, and you're getting it. You're benefiting from the grant.
Here's it was personal, but it clicked and it was
it was brilliant. And that's what they're showing me, is
you being able to tell people's stories, but it related
(14:20):
to raising money, fundraising around some kind of medical care
or giving back, and it can be another cause. It
doesn't have to be in healthcare. It can be something
else that you're passionate about, or a nonprofit. Do you
know anybody in the nonprofit fundraising world? I do reach
out to that I do, Okay, reach out to them.
(14:40):
And this is also, this is what I want you
to do because you've had the rejection as of recent
you know, like looking for a job, things not clicking
as best you can, let go of the expectations, meaning
I want you to make connections like you're firing arrows
out into the sky, like I'm going to reach out,
I'm gonna I'm gonna connect with this person. IM going
to shoot them an email. I want to see if
(15:01):
they want to have coffee. I want to pick their brain.
If they respond to you, amazing. If they don't, they
wasn't meant to. It's just about you generating the positive
potential and the momentum around it. When somebody does respond
and says I have time for a phone call, or
sure you can pick my brain, or have you thought
about this, and you have that dialogue. Even if some
(15:24):
of those pathways that you have as opportunities to explore
do not play out, continue to be to enjoy the
momentum of seeking and searching and more will be revealed.
Because they are showing me a position. Actually, I feel
like you're going to find a position. Part of me
(15:47):
wants to say September, and another part of me wants
to say December. So it may be multiple positions, multiple opportunities.
It's kind of like when you get a job, you
can find another one easier. You know, we all know
that it's like it's easier to find a job when
you have a job, that sort of thing. But that's
what they're showing me is something clicks in September where
(16:10):
there's money and it starts coming in and it may
not be the exact job you want or exactly what
you were you thought you were looking for, but it's
something and it creates some traction and then it opens
new doors. Because you have the gift of networking. You're
a great networker, and I know that's why you feel
one of the reasons you also feel a bit helpless
right now and frustrated and aggravated because it's like, I'm
(16:33):
so good at connecting. Usually I connect and it's lucrative,
and now all of a sudden, I've had this, you know,
three ish ear set back. It's time to say, all right,
like ready for new outlook and attitudes, because you do
have connections, clicks, things coming that are going to create
financial traction, going to create a new sense of stability,
where you feel rooted, you feel where you're supposed like
(16:57):
you're where you're supposed to be. Yes, yes, oh my gosh,
you have good things coming. But it so much of
it is in relation to you revitalizing your soul, finding
where you have sure you can say gratitude, but feeling
a sense of appreciation for where people have supported you,
(17:20):
where you found enriching dialogue and connection where you felt seen,
not just where you inspire or encourage people, where you
felt inspired or encouraged or seen or supported, because so
much of your energy field is around reciprocity, not just inspiring,
encouraging doing, It's about feeling and experiencing a sense of
(17:45):
fulfillment from the inside out. And that's what this time
is about. What specific questions do you have work related
or with whatever is coming up?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So I have an informal, formal, but informal interview on
Monday's amazing, amazing to you and today yes, okay, yes,
and I am over the moon excited about this.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I'm excited for you. Okay, let's see about the energy
of it. So it's on Monday, it's on Monday. Feel
good about it. And here's here's what they're showing me
the informal interview and connection that you have. Go and
have fun. Drop all the fear of the rejection or
they're going to look at my age or you know,
(18:33):
all the things that even though we know you know
from an HR perspective is illegal and whatnot. But still
it doesn't matter. You have those feelings and thoughts in
your mind because you're human. So see if you can.
I want you between now and next week. Every night
when you go to bed, say soul, Hey soul, Hey,
hi yourself. Connect me with whomever you're interviewing, with, whomever
(18:57):
you're meeting with with so and so soul with their soul,
their higher self for the most optimal outcomes, for dynamic,
harmonious inspired conversations, open new doors. Connect our souls for
the greatest, the most optimal outcomes, the greatest good, the
highest path forward. Show me I'm open, I'm willing, I'm ready,
(19:19):
And you don't have to articulate any of that perfectly.
I always say that, but say hey, connect my soul
with their soul. I'd used to do this. I do
it sometimes now, but years ago. I started when I
was working and I was in the healthcare industry. This
is when I practiced and played with this. I would
literally at night, if I knew I had an important
(19:39):
business meeting the next day, or you know, was working
on you know, building new clients or relationships or whatever
it was, I would literally say, when I went to
bed the night before, hey, soul, connect me with so
and so and so and so and so and So's
higher selves. So our meeting is productive, our medium is lucrative,
(20:00):
Our interactions are geared towards our highest end, our highest
evolutionary aim. That may sound big, broad, deep, wide, expansive.
It was intended to be because I was unlimited my thinking,
unlimiting my thinking. I wasn't saying, hey, connect me with
so and so sol so we can secure this deal,
secure this client.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That is linear.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And also to me, it felt like I was imposing
on their spirit or I was being very specific in
what I wanted, which manifestation is around being specific. But
I also felt like I was just saying, hey, just
connect our souls. So whatever outcome materializes in the meeting
and the interaction, make it for the highest light. So
(20:41):
that meant and here's the flip side of that, this
is what I learned to trust. That meant that when
I said that and I had an interaction and the
deal fell through or the meeting was a little disjointed,
or things did not work out abundantly or fluidly or
(21:01):
easily or joyfully, that I was supposed to say, Ah,
all right, this wasn't a waste of my time. It
wasn't supposed to work out. It's kind of like forgetting
your car keys, spilling your coffee on yourself, and maybe
avoiding a wreck. You know, you don't know that you
avoided a wreck or a difficult scenario, but maybe something
bigger is out there, orchestrating things when things don't work out.
(21:23):
So shifting your not only your perspective around this, but
shifting to I'm going to go do this. I'm excited
about this connection in this interview. Whatever comes from it
is meant to be. And I'm building momentum because new
doors are opening, new relationships. Money is flowing to and
through me, and that energetic currency of money, which I
(21:46):
believe me I get stuck in all the time. I
want you to also, I remember hearing this from Marie Fourlo.
So this is not mine, but I do it and
I use it. I arrange the money in my wallet sequential,
and I organize it so when I get cash back,
whether I'm at the grocery store, wherever I am, I've
got my twenties, tens, fives ones and they're all upright,
(22:09):
and I can there can be five people behind me
and I don't you know, and I can feel like,
oh I'm in a rush. I'm trying to arrange just no,
I will make sure my money is arranged. And there's
this element of respecting my money, my cash, my cash flow,
it being organized, it feeling like I'm taking care of it,
like there's a pride in it. So it's not so
much about balancing my budget. I can do that too,
(22:31):
but it's like, organize your money in your wallet, you know,
be thankful that you have a couple of twenties and
a five, you know, and they're organized and they're sequential
and they're right there. Organize your money in your wallet
and start to say, op, money flows to and through me.
Money feels like it is coming to me in an organized,
stable way. I trust, I believe, I'm okay, I'm more
(22:54):
than okay. I'm abundant, I am rich. And the other
thing is too, what do you love to do? I
know that you're an avid like that you read and
you write, so communication is your thing. But when do
you feel and especially because you've been in some challenging times,
like really challenging times that are discouraging.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
We're getting you out of that because you're too freaking
bright not to shine and just and to revitalize it.
When do you feel happy, at ease or safe?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You know, I started taking up growing and it's with
a bunch of breast cancer surviving women. And when I'm
out on.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
That water rowing, I feel.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
The strongest I have ever felt. I see the water,
I see the trees, and I see life, and I
feel as much as I screw up rowing because it's
it's the hardest thing I'm rowing.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's hard screw up. And I'm not the only one
on the boat.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
There are eight women rowing at the same time, and
it's stinking hard.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But I'm going to tell you, I feel.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
So strong and I come home and muscle in my
body aches after woods.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And it feels good. It's the good kind of ache, right,
And you're doing this. I love that you're doing this
with a group of women with breast cancer who have
your people, your tribe, and that's why and like and
first of all, you feel you know, you're learning to
create a synchronicity. You're in sync when you're rowing, and
that's the thing with I know with rowing, I have
rowed like once before with a crew, but I've only
(24:26):
rowed on the row machine machine.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
But you have to be in tandem with them.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's why you have what the coxin, you know, at
the front of the boat calling the calls row row.
So you're having to pay attention, but you're also working
to be in sync. And it's not just the paying
attention or the doing, it's also the rhythm row row,
you know, think about the rhythm that you're creating. But anyway,
when you're rowing, when you're out with those women, you're
(24:54):
just in your body, in your focus, with your team,
with your crew. When you notice you're in sync, and
I'm not saying this to throw you off, you're in sync.
But when you're in sync, when you're in tandem, I
want you to notice you're in sync. You're in tandem. Literally,
you almost disassociate. It's like looking down at yourself from
above and you just feel it, know it, and you say, oh,
(25:17):
I'm in sync.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Love flows to and through me, money flows to and
through me, safety flows to and through me. You know
I am rowing, you know, inspiration flows to and through me.
Use that rhythmic rowing in tandem with other people's energy
who are in a community, a community of people that
you relate to because you all have been through the
same experience. There's so much power in your rowing, literally,
(25:43):
but there's empowerment and to row the inspiration and then
go back to rowing. You don't have to do it
the whole time you're rowing, but it's like, yes, this
feels good.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I am in sync. Life is in sync, life is
in tandem. I'm building momentum, I am happy, joyous, and free.
Everything is happening abundantly and fluidly. Yes, I feel empowered.
And then when you are home and you're out of
breath and you're tired and your body is sore, and
it's kind of like, oh, this is so intense, but
(26:12):
it's that good intense, just smile and be like, yes,
that felt productive. I am productive, I'm useful, I'm valuable,
I am healthy, I'm well, and then fix your cup
of coffee or your sandwich or whatever you're doing. But
that's where all of us. These are tools and techniques.
I do this stuff a lot, and it's all about
(26:34):
being very present and aware to the experiences we already have.
It's the it's not just acting as if. It's about
expanding or magnifying the experiences we already have available to us.
To say I extend this to all aspects of my life.
This feeling of empowerment, this feeling of synchronicity, this feeling
(26:55):
of flow in all ass I am worthy of. I
am opening myself up to receiving, experiencing and sustaining this
in all areas of my life. And for you right now,
it's the professional piece.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yes, the person I spoke to, who you know, sort
of got the ball rolling rolling for this interview on
Monday is was the very head person and I know
how busy he is. And then a week later, I
accidentally at a coffee shop bumped into someone.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Who works for him.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Now these people don't know me, okay, And I told
her what had just happened, and she said, give me
your name and phone number. I'm going to have someone
contact you. And she's the one who had them follow up.
And it's because of bumping into another person that that happened.
And then last week I bumped into and didn't get
(27:51):
a chance to talk to a third person who also
works for him. So I see this coming down, and
I can't help but feel like maybe this will work
out this time. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And guess what instead of look, I'm just gonna read
because you're a linguist. You're a communicator, so let's just
rewire the language instead of saying I can't help, but
feeling like maybe this so just I'm so excited to
have the feeling that this is all synchronized. So get
rid of the can't help but and the maybe. Use
(28:25):
your definitives, you know, use those because that stuff matters.
Semantics matter right now for you. They matter for all
of us, but for you right now, in particular, the
semantics the words you know, instead of I can't help,
but feeling maybe this is gonna work out. And I
know exactly what you meant, because you didn't mean it
(28:46):
in a negative way, but it's like, no, I want
you to pay attention to your words. I am enjoying
feeling all of this encouragement. Thank you God, thank you soul,
thank you universe. Oh I needed these things and I
deserve them and I want more. And then this is
the other thing. So you know, when you go to
(29:12):
the coffee shop and somebody's just nice. The person that
checks you out is just nice. You know, how's your day?
Oh it's good, Oh mine's pretty good. Oh, Like you
just have a pleasant interaction with somebody out in the world,
and it feels good because you're like, oh, people are nice.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Oh that felt good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh somebody acknowledged me, you know, or we had a
dynamic and I didn't have to take it home with
me or think about it. There wasn't a string attached
to it. Next time you were in a situation or
a scenario where somebody is just nice or it's pleasant,
notice that too and say ooh, I want more pleasantry,
(29:48):
I want more synergistic dynamics.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'm worthy of this.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you soul,
thank you God, thank you for the divine orchestration of things,
even when I don't know what's exactly coming down and
the other thing they're saying to me, that's most important
for you. And this this has come up recently for myself,
but in quite a few readings, this element of hopefulness
(30:11):
and how we can feel hopeful. But the underlying unconscious
feeling behind the hopefulness is this fear of loss. Oh
my gosh, if I get excited, if I get hopeful
about this, what if it's taken away? So we don't
fully lean into the hopefulness. And for me and for
what I see a lot of times hopefulness. Gosh, it's magical.
(30:33):
Hope is an incredible it's a game changer. But it's
like I've got to feel the hope and eliminate the
underlying fear. And even if it's feeling the hope for
three seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds, that is so much
more powerful than engaging with the dialogue of hope and
(30:54):
behind it saying yeah, but let me not get too excited.
Maybe this is going to work out, because that's where
we start to backtrack, and this is forward momentum. This
is a year of you reindividuating yourself, finding your voice,
making these connections, and with this connection on Monday, first
of all, you have to follow up and let me
know how it goes, because I feel like there is
(31:14):
going to be opportunity, some things will click, new doors
will open, and I feel like come September, things are
aligned and there's money coming in and ideas are happening.
But I still want you to research as this is
going on, and even when, even if, because when it's
really when they click, because doors are opening through this
(31:35):
job and some opportunities, I still want you to put
your feelers out for what we were talking about in healthcare,
donor relations, telling stories, the journalism around that, and how
it can give back or add value or tell stories,
make things meaningful, share people's experiences because that's inspirational, and
(31:59):
that's part of you're voicing your gift.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You have been one hundred percent accurate, and I know
exactly who to reach out to, and this is just
a door opening on Monday.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I'm so happy, and I know I'm full of goosebumps
because that means my own soul is cirked up in
a way here and I know exactly what you're telling
me to do.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
It's it's so clear in my mind.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
And you will be astonished at Monday and what is
working behind the scenes for me and how I want
to give back and move forward in my life. And
a whole new world and a whole new experience is
out there, and I'm waiting to step through that door.
(32:54):
And I've been waiting for a long time, and this
is the right time.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It wasn't right before.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I wasn't ready because of being fired, But now I'm ready,
and now the door is about to be reopened, and
now I want to walk through that door and make
a difference in a whole new realm.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And how that's going to work out, I.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Don't know, but it is and you know it. And
that's the hopefulness. That's the deepening of faith and trust.
And guess what else will emanate from you greater than
it has in a long time. Is that feeling of appreciation.
Because the last few years have been hard, they've been discouraging,
they've literally, you know, been a fight, you know, as
(33:37):
far as your cancer and your journey and your career
all of that, you know, and it's like, wow, none
of that is in vain. Wow, this has given me
greater gratitude, greater appreciation, you know, like I am grateful,
and then it expands your life.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
And you are worthy of that.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I love working with crystals, and this came through before
we got on our call. There's a stone called goldstone,
and it's a man made stone. It's a stone that
has copper flex infused in it, and it's literally like
a bronzy color with gold flex, so it totally it's
like it's like sparkly. But I love goldstone because goldstone
(34:18):
generates empowerment, it generates momentum. It helps us to move
from the inside out. So I want you to get
some gold stone.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm going to be working with this in that group
that you keep referring gold stone.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah, in a couple of weeks. It's like two weeks. Literally,
Oh my gosh. Okay, that's how in.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Sync we are.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Just amazed. I need to take a deep breath because
it is so strong for me. I think you are
going to be amazed at everything that's coming up in
my world. I really do, because.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I'm smiling because you are already. I mean, you're such
a quick learner. I need to reflect that back you.
I know you know it, but let's just talk about
how you've applied it. You've already changed your like I
can see you, hear you changing your language around the
words you're saying to me, because that's how conscious you are,
that's how powerful your communication style is. You're like, you
are going to be amazed at what's happening for me.
(35:16):
I'm like, yes, girl, like that that's the kind of language.
And does it mean that we live in that and
feel that and talk that way to ourselves and to
the world all the time. No, But when you do
get exhausted or down or fearful or frustrated. That's when
you say, okay, it's okay to feel this. Let me
breathe it, let me feel it, and then let me
redirect my thinking to something that does feel safer, feel
(35:40):
more comfortable, feel more expansive, feel healthier for me to
focus my attention and my intention on. So never you know,
we don't want to bypass or discount. But just the
more clearer you get on your voice, the more you
call in, I'm a minute, and it is opening a
new door. You are opening a new chapter, and it's
bright and brilliant. And I know that our dialogue will
(36:03):
inspire other people because I've had two or three women
that I've connected with recently that have some similar experiences
a little bit different, that just feel that sense of
confusion or helplessness or discouragement or despair that says.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
But how do I get out of this? How do
I shift it?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And it just takes really small intentional action, one action
or interaction or thought deliberately repeated over and over again
at a time, and it doesn't have to be exhausted
or overwhelming. It just is making the decision that you're
ready for something new, ready for change, making the decision
(36:43):
is the hardest part. Like, I'm ready to feel happy again,
I'm ready to feel healthy. I'm over this season, and
we need these seasons of pain. Sometimes we're humans. We
learned better through pain than joy, you know. I flip
that around. I'm like, I want to learn through joy
because joy breeds joy. That was one of my intentions
(37:03):
for twenty twenty three. I want it to be and
feel and express more joy in my life. But to
be a jubulant person, I can be really intense. And
so I've had to prioritize my joy and how I
express it, when I express it, when I experience it
and harness it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And that's been a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
And that may sound, you know, like a high class problem,
but I mean, but it's been a really tough year
and a half with what I've gone through, and so
me saying I want joy, I want a little bit
of peace. Those things are happening, but it's been I
have had to prioritize that on my to do list
of what does joy look like, when do I experience it,
how do I harness it, how do I feel it?
(37:44):
And that's what's coming up for you. But you're doing
the work and you're already like willing to do.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
It absolutely, and I needed that. I needed to be told, reframe,
resay these things in a positive manner, don't question it,
accept it, except that you've met these people and they're
looking out for you and they're pushing these doors open
for you, and let's get these doors open and walk
through these doors. So I needed that. I needed someone
(38:11):
to say to me, yeah, you're right, they are. Let's
walk through the door and help me with my own
internal voice, because that's really what's been missing right now.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yes, and you've got it right there. And the wisdom
that you just shared, I know is going to support
and resonate with other people. And the coolest thing about that,
which really is the intention behind being able to do
this podcast and share these dialogues and discussions in this
rich space, the energy that reverberates out sometimes when we
(38:47):
hear a conversation or a dialogue that it was exactly
what we needed to hear or trigger something in us
into positive potential and healthy action that reverberates out and
can compound owned higher vibrational energy. So thank you. First
of all, I am thrilled to connect. I'm excited for you,
(39:07):
but thank you for coming on so open and vulnerable
and also listening, because you were listening and communicating back actively,
and not everybody does that. It's an exceptional skill. You
were listening and communicating in real time. I mean at
a very very advanced level. So know that you're highly
(39:30):
advanced on a soul level, but on a mental level.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Frickin use it. So I will thank you so so much.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
You have become a huge part.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Of my card and I.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Will cherish this forever and lean on it and bring
it back into my active thinking all the time because
of it.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Well, thank you, Thank you Katerina for coming on. I
hope this helped everyone today. Gave you some nuggets, some encouragement,
and wherever you're experiencing discouragement setbacks, see how you can
hit the reset button, shift your language, the power of
your voice, your internal dialogue, and really shift it into
(40:15):
what you are craving in your life to manifest. Knowing
that we can always begin again at any time, and
it's the beauty that we have as humans to begin
again and to regenerate and revitalize ourselves and shift our identity,
evolve our identity and that's so much of what is
(40:35):
happening for Katerina and for many of us out there
is revitalizing our identity, evolving our identity. So thank you
for coming on, and thank you for sharing all of
your wisdom
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions today.
I've got a listener who has graciously and vulnerably and
courageously agreed to do a live reading some Q and
A to be intimate and vulnerable and also to be
open to guidance and solutions. So welcome, Katerina.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You bet, I'm thrilled to connect with you, and I'm
ready to dive in because We've got some juicy stuff
coming through that I think is going to I don't think.
I know. They're showing me very quickly. They're saying, stop talking, Amanda,
we want to talk. Your soul wants to talk. I said, okay, okay.
One of the things that they are showing me about
you is that you are a beautiful communicator. Communication is
(00:53):
one of your greatest gifts in this lifetime. And not
only the words that you speak to other people and
how you interact in day to day a personal expression
and dialogue, but also the voicing in your head. And
this is a time of getting very clear with the
voicing your head, the limiting dialogue and the expansive dialogue alike,
and not discounting any of it really recognizing where you
(01:14):
are feeling pushback and resistance. And when they say pushback
and resistance, a lot of it means this sense of
going out against the current versus turnaround and swimming with
the current. So finding places where you feel relaxed and
you can also feel relaxed in the tension in your mind.
And one of the things you shared a handful of things,
and I'm going to share that with our listeners right now.
(01:37):
You lost a job a few years ago, you were
diagnosed with breast cancer. You have had a massive struggle
in finding a new professional position. You also self proclaimed
said your middle age. I know you are in your fifties,
but girl, I think a j Lo and Jennifer Aniston,
and I think, hey, look at those women in there,
(02:00):
Gwyneth Paltrow. You know, those just people pop to mind,
and I'm like, their fifties to me look like their
early forties living their best life. And your soul is
saying hello, throw out the middle aged and recognize you
have this opportunity now to speak with truth, to use
that beautiful voice of yours because you have it and
really dynamically transform not only the way that you communicate
(02:24):
in the world, but the way you communicate to yourself,
and it takes a little work. It takes diligence, and
it takes patience and trust. And you're in a year
that is bold, it's dynamic. It's also a year of
spiritual revitalization, seeking and searching. We'll talk about work in
a second, but I actually want to talk about your
breast cancer first. How are you doing health wise? Because
they're showing me you've had success and I don't know
(02:46):
if you're in remission, but that's what they're showing me
that your body as well, you've responded well to treatment
and you're in a maintenance phase.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is that true.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's exactly right. That's exactly what's happening right now. And
I'm so grateful for that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Gosh, I am too.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And I don't know if you know this, but I
just lost my mother to from metastatic breast cancer. She
had breast cancer when I was a teenager and had
no repercussions, and then it metastasized to her bones a
handful of years ago. So breast cancer runs in my
family and it's a very it's very close to me personally.
I've lost people but I've also seen people win and
(03:22):
I am amazed by science and medicine, but I'm also
what I know is the power of the mind. And
not only is your body strong and well, your mind
says all right, get on board, look at the miracles
that have happened in your body and being appreciative of
your doctors. They're talking to me about your physician team,
the care teams. You've had, the people that have shown
(03:43):
up in your life to take care of you. You've
developed some safety and trust and healthy relationships in those
people along the way.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Is that resonating one hundred percent? I would not be
where I am today without my care team. I've worked
closely with them for the past two years and I
needed them.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And you know what, it makes me want to cry
because I for me, that's very personal with my mom.
But they're showing me that and like and it's also
I know my mom's spirit is here because she's like
she's winning. She's winning, she has people loving and caring
for her. And those are the kind of things right
now for you, Like you're a miracle. You have this
not just second chance, you have this chance right now
(04:25):
not only to be healthy and well, and recreate parts
of your life like you're at a jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You're not going down girl like this this is rich,
juicy space.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
But those people, you know, the moments when you are
struggling and stressed and can't find your clarity. And one
of the things that I love that you ask in
your questions, you said, I just feel clueless in life. You,
my friend, are anything but clueless. You can feel that
way and I feel that way. And for you, where
you feel clueless is emotionally because your mind is adept,
(04:58):
you are intelligent, you're precise, you are a very fast thinker.
I mean your brain is usually going and going, being able.
It's the emotional overwhelmed sometimes for you that clouds things,
that creates the cluelessness. And you're not clueless. And then
I think of the movie Clueless, you know, and I
think about how funny that movie was and silly, but
(05:18):
how wise she was.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Do you remember watching Clueless? You know? I don't think.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay, okay, you got to watch Clueless. It has Alicia
Silverstone in it. It's from the early nineties, and she's
a total She's a Beverly Hills girl, total dits. But
she's wise, and she's always moving from the heart. I
want you to watch it. That's your homework. And what
I love about this is when our souls show up.
Our souls show up with tools that are sometimes just
(05:44):
almost seemingly so silly and mundane, but they're so rich
in wisdom. And in that movie, and my gosh, I
haven't watched Clueless in a long time. In that movie,
she may be ditsy and superficial in ways, but all
of her interactions are about meaning and making things better
and giving back and friendship. And now I'm gonna have
to watch it. But okay, part of your homework is
(06:06):
to watch Clueless. Laugh your behind off, but also remember
that you're not clueless. And clueless is a great place
to start, because the fact that you can say I
feel that way, I feel clueless in life.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I know people relate to that.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I relate to that that you may be clueless, you
may be a little powerless over not having the job
and the financial security and the stability and the direction
you want right now, but you're not helpless. And I
get that, and I'm taking that from one of my
spiritual guides and counselors. And that's what she says, powerless, always, always, helpless,
(06:42):
never meaning I can do something about this. And you're
something right now is in your voice and your perspective
and your ability to start to say, okay, right now,
I'm healthy and well. I've had a care team that's
supported me. Let me think about work. Tell what did
you when you got let go from your job a
few years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
What were you doing? What is your profession been?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Because one of the things they show me about you
is you get bored easily. You are a master of
many things. Sometimes it can feel scattered, your energy can
feel scattered, but you know how to do a lot
of things well. And that can be confusing, by the way,
because it's like, but I'm not just one person, and
hold on your soul is talking so darn fast, But
let me tell you what they're relating.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Back to me.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I heard an interview with Lenny Kravitz a while back,
maybe in Rolling Stone, and he said, you know, when
I was twelve years old, I knew I wanted to
be a musician. When I grew up, I knew that
I was going to be a musician. And he said, so,
I don't always understand when people say they don't know
who they are what they want to be. And I thought, gosh,
that's really interesting because I feel like my personality, my
(07:50):
skill sets, they continue to morph and shift and change,
and I'm not just or I'm not one thing. And
I love that he's one thing because he's an amazing
musician and a pretty credible artists and soul.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But that is not my story. I am a multitude
of things.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You are very multifaceted as well, in your talents, your gifts,
and your abilities. You're proficient, you learn fast, and you
have lots of skill sets. Is this resonating? Yeah, it's
confusing too, right that, like, you know how to do
lots of things well, but you can't figure out, well,
who am I professionally or where do.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I belong professionalists?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Or where do I belong? So tell me what were you?
Back to the question I asked.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And I still consider myself to be a journalist. I'm
a news reporter. And I loved it. And you're right,
I juggle one hundred things all at once, all at
the same time, and that's why I'm I don't want
to say scatter rain, but I'm a little bit like, Yeah,
you're absolutely right. I get bored easily because I love
being in the thick of very multiple things happening all
(08:54):
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
A journalist makes so much sense to me because back
to communication being your greatest ad in this lifetime, and
we all are learning to communicate. It's all an asset
for each of us.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But it's a gift.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's a God given gift, your ability to assimilate information, rapidly,
share it, communicate it fast quick. Logically, I mean, that's
what you do. So the investigative journalism, the journalism, the
reporter aspect.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Of you, is not lost. It is. It is evolving.
So think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And let me just give you some homework and that
and an easy tool and trick when you go to
bed at night. And I share this all the time
because it's what I've used for a long time in
my prayers when I settle down, when I begin to
shut my brain off and relax into my body, saying, hey, soul,
higher self, you know I recognize I'm here to communicate,
(09:42):
and I'm here to also feel inspired through my communication,
because that's what's lacking in you right now, is inspiration.
It's not that you're not motivated, Not that you haven't
been hitting the pavement. No, I am here to inspire
and feel inspired, to inspire and receive information. Show me
that I'm ready, and help me to make it lucrative
(10:04):
again in a new way that makes sense to me,
that aligns with me today and now am my voice now?
And you know it's interesting. Let's go back to the
breast cancer a minute, and you being a journalist and
us talking about caregivers and care teams and physicians and
treatments and all of the medical procedures and team that
(10:25):
goes with that. There's a part of you that is
wanting to summon your humanitarian meaning, your mission and your
purpose and making a difference, making an impact, leaving the
place better than when you came. Why don't you talk
to something that is clear to your heart around your
ability to look at healthcare or look at breast cancer,
(10:48):
or use your voice or work in cancer or oncology
or medical writing and not solely reporting facts around medical
trends or research, but talking to patients, talking to caregivers,
talking to physicians, maybe working for a medical journal or
(11:10):
And I don't necessarily mean the scientific aspect of that.
I almost mean working in the world of nonprofit in
terms of being a publicist or a communicator or a marketer,
a business development person for nonprofits in the healthcare arena.
And this is what they're showing me very clearly, is
if you were to do some to broaden your net
(11:32):
in terms of donor relations, and here's the way they
show it to They just link things that I know
one of my sisters, that's a lot of what she does.
She helps nonprofits. She helps companies and organizations with their
foundations raise money and make sure that money is appropriately
allocated to whatever cause they are supporting. And she knows
(11:56):
the ins and outs of that. So she works with
a lot of donor relations, big time fundraising and how
that's allocated. Those kinds of things they're showing me. You
doing something donor related with nonprofits where people are raising
and allocating money, but you're communicating around here's where the
(12:18):
money is going to, Here's how much money we raise,
and these are the lives it's impacting. Here's the personal stories.
Here are the differences it's made. Is this like because
they say they're like, there is there is work, there's
opportunity for you in this and I'm not saying that
this is where your sole source of money is just
going to start coming through. But I think there's some
(12:39):
voice or advocacy for you where you could even freelance
or get an actual position within a nonprofit around press releases,
donor relations linking personal stories, helping create videos or marketing
materials or campaigns that helps with fundraising.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Is this resonating?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It is?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I love this for you because I think it's important,
and it's what the story they're telling me.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Is this.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The story they're telling me? Is this which goes back
to my mom?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Which this makes me happy to talk to you, because
my mother keeps coming through and she doesn't come through
in sessions very often. So my half sister, the one
that I'm talking about, she had done a lot of
fundraising for a couple of grants around a cancer drug,
and unbeknownst to my mom, my mom ended up having
(13:36):
one of those cancer medications, and it was one of
those ridiculously expensive ones, you know, like twenty thousand a
month or something crazy, and her insurance wouldn't cover all
of it. The oncology team had her apply for a
grant and she was able to get it covered well.
A couple of years down the road, my sister and
my mom are talking and she says, and my sister says,
(13:57):
oh my gosh, that's the green that I helped raise
the X amount of million dollars for. You know, Oh
my goodness, and you're getting it. You're benefiting from the grant.
Here's it was personal, but it clicked and it was
it was brilliant. And that's what they're showing me, is
you being able to tell people's stories, but it related
(14:20):
to raising money, fundraising around some kind of medical care
or giving back, and it can be another cause. It
doesn't have to be in healthcare. It can be something
else that you're passionate about, or a nonprofit. Do you
know anybody in the nonprofit fundraising world? I do reach
out to that I do, Okay, reach out to them.
(14:40):
And this is also, this is what I want you
to do because you've had the rejection as of recent
you know, like looking for a job, things not clicking
as best you can, let go of the expectations, meaning
I want you to make connections like you're firing arrows
out into the sky, like I'm going to reach out,
I'm gonna I'm gonna connect with this person. IM going
to shoot them an email. I want to see if
(15:01):
they want to have coffee. I want to pick their brain.
If they respond to you, amazing. If they don't, they
wasn't meant to. It's just about you generating the positive
potential and the momentum around it. When somebody does respond
and says I have time for a phone call, or
sure you can pick my brain, or have you thought
about this, and you have that dialogue. Even if some
(15:24):
of those pathways that you have as opportunities to explore
do not play out, continue to be to enjoy the
momentum of seeking and searching and more will be revealed.
Because they are showing me a position. Actually, I feel
like you're going to find a position. Part of me
(15:47):
wants to say September, and another part of me wants
to say December. So it may be multiple positions, multiple opportunities.
It's kind of like when you get a job, you
can find another one easier. You know, we all know
that it's like it's easier to find a job when
you have a job, that sort of thing. But that's
what they're showing me is something clicks in September where
(16:10):
there's money and it starts coming in and it may
not be the exact job you want or exactly what
you were you thought you were looking for, but it's
something and it creates some traction and then it opens
new doors. Because you have the gift of networking. You're
a great networker, and I know that's why you feel
one of the reasons you also feel a bit helpless
right now and frustrated and aggravated because it's like, I'm
(16:33):
so good at connecting. Usually I connect and it's lucrative,
and now all of a sudden, I've had this, you know,
three ish ear set back. It's time to say, all right,
like ready for new outlook and attitudes, because you do
have connections, clicks, things coming that are going to create
financial traction, going to create a new sense of stability,
where you feel rooted, you feel where you're supposed like
(16:57):
you're where you're supposed to be. Yes, yes, oh my gosh,
you have good things coming. But it so much of
it is in relation to you revitalizing your soul, finding
where you have sure you can say gratitude, but feeling
a sense of appreciation for where people have supported you,
(17:20):
where you found enriching dialogue and connection where you felt seen,
not just where you inspire or encourage people, where you
felt inspired or encouraged or seen or supported, because so
much of your energy field is around reciprocity, not just inspiring,
encouraging doing, It's about feeling and experiencing a sense of
(17:45):
fulfillment from the inside out. And that's what this time
is about. What specific questions do you have work related
or with whatever is coming up?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So I have an informal, formal, but informal interview on
Monday's amazing, amazing to you and today yes, okay, yes,
and I am over the moon excited about this.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I'm excited for you. Okay, let's see about the energy
of it. So it's on Monday, it's on Monday. Feel
good about it. And here's here's what they're showing me
the informal interview and connection that you have. Go and
have fun. Drop all the fear of the rejection or
they're going to look at my age or you know,
(18:33):
all the things that even though we know you know
from an HR perspective is illegal and whatnot. But still
it doesn't matter. You have those feelings and thoughts in
your mind because you're human. So see if you can.
I want you between now and next week. Every night
when you go to bed, say soul, Hey soul, Hey,
hi yourself. Connect me with whomever you're interviewing, with, whomever
(18:57):
you're meeting with with so and so soul with their soul,
their higher self for the most optimal outcomes, for dynamic,
harmonious inspired conversations, open new doors. Connect our souls for
the greatest, the most optimal outcomes, the greatest good, the
highest path forward. Show me I'm open, I'm willing, I'm ready,
(19:19):
And you don't have to articulate any of that perfectly.
I always say that, but say hey, connect my soul
with their soul. I'd used to do this. I do
it sometimes now, but years ago. I started when I
was working and I was in the healthcare industry. This
is when I practiced and played with this. I would
literally at night, if I knew I had an important
(19:39):
business meeting the next day, or you know, was working
on you know, building new clients or relationships or whatever
it was, I would literally say, when I went to
bed the night before, hey, soul, connect me with so
and so and so and so and so and So's
higher selves. So our meeting is productive, our medium is lucrative,
(20:00):
Our interactions are geared towards our highest end, our highest
evolutionary aim. That may sound big, broad, deep, wide, expansive.
It was intended to be because I was unlimited my thinking,
unlimiting my thinking. I wasn't saying, hey, connect me with
so and so sol so we can secure this deal,
secure this client.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That is linear.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And also to me, it felt like I was imposing
on their spirit or I was being very specific in
what I wanted, which manifestation is around being specific. But
I also felt like I was just saying, hey, just
connect our souls. So whatever outcome materializes in the meeting
and the interaction, make it for the highest light. So
(20:41):
that meant and here's the flip side of that, this
is what I learned to trust. That meant that when
I said that and I had an interaction and the
deal fell through or the meeting was a little disjointed,
or things did not work out abundantly or fluidly or
(21:01):
easily or joyfully, that I was supposed to say, Ah,
all right, this wasn't a waste of my time. It
wasn't supposed to work out. It's kind of like forgetting
your car keys, spilling your coffee on yourself, and maybe
avoiding a wreck. You know, you don't know that you
avoided a wreck or a difficult scenario, but maybe something
bigger is out there, orchestrating things when things don't work out.
(21:23):
So shifting your not only your perspective around this, but
shifting to I'm going to go do this. I'm excited
about this connection in this interview. Whatever comes from it
is meant to be. And I'm building momentum because new
doors are opening, new relationships. Money is flowing to and
through me, and that energetic currency of money, which I
(21:46):
believe me I get stuck in all the time. I
want you to also, I remember hearing this from Marie Fourlo.
So this is not mine, but I do it and
I use it. I arrange the money in my wallet sequential,
and I organize it so when I get cash back,
whether I'm at the grocery store, wherever I am, I've
got my twenties, tens, fives ones and they're all upright,
(22:09):
and I can there can be five people behind me
and I don't you know, and I can feel like,
oh I'm in a rush. I'm trying to arrange just no,
I will make sure my money is arranged. And there's
this element of respecting my money, my cash, my cash flow,
it being organized, it feeling like I'm taking care of it,
like there's a pride in it. So it's not so
much about balancing my budget. I can do that too,
(22:31):
but it's like, organize your money in your wallet, you know,
be thankful that you have a couple of twenties and
a five, you know, and they're organized and they're sequential
and they're right there. Organize your money in your wallet
and start to say, op, money flows to and through me.
Money feels like it is coming to me in an organized,
stable way. I trust, I believe, I'm okay, I'm more
(22:54):
than okay. I'm abundant, I am rich. And the other
thing is too, what do you love to do? I
know that you're an avid like that you read and
you write, so communication is your thing. But when do
you feel and especially because you've been in some challenging times,
like really challenging times that are discouraging.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
We're getting you out of that because you're too freaking
bright not to shine and just and to revitalize it.
When do you feel happy, at ease or safe?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You know, I started taking up growing and it's with
a bunch of breast cancer surviving women. And when I'm
out on.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
That water rowing, I feel.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
The strongest I have ever felt. I see the water,
I see the trees, and I see life, and I
feel as much as I screw up rowing because it's
it's the hardest thing I'm rowing.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's hard screw up. And I'm not the only one
on the boat.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
There are eight women rowing at the same time, and
it's stinking hard.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But I'm going to tell you, I feel.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
So strong and I come home and muscle in my
body aches after woods.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And it feels good. It's the good kind of ache, right,
And you're doing this. I love that you're doing this
with a group of women with breast cancer who have
your people, your tribe, and that's why and like and
first of all, you feel you know, you're learning to
create a synchronicity. You're in sync when you're rowing, and
that's the thing with I know with rowing, I have
rowed like once before with a crew, but I've only
(24:26):
rowed on the row machine machine.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
But you have to be in tandem with them.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's why you have what the coxin, you know, at
the front of the boat calling the calls row row.
So you're having to pay attention, but you're also working
to be in sync. And it's not just the paying
attention or the doing, it's also the rhythm row row,
you know, think about the rhythm that you're creating. But anyway,
when you're rowing, when you're out with those women, you're
(24:54):
just in your body, in your focus, with your team,
with your crew. When you notice you're in sync, and
I'm not saying this to throw you off, you're in sync.
But when you're in sync, when you're in tandem, I
want you to notice you're in sync. You're in tandem. Literally,
you almost disassociate. It's like looking down at yourself from
above and you just feel it, know it, and you say, oh,
(25:17):
I'm in sync.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Love flows to and through me, money flows to and
through me, safety flows to and through me. You know
I am rowing, you know, inspiration flows to and through me.
Use that rhythmic rowing in tandem with other people's energy
who are in a community, a community of people that
you relate to because you all have been through the
same experience. There's so much power in your rowing, literally,
(25:43):
but there's empowerment and to row the inspiration and then
go back to rowing. You don't have to do it
the whole time you're rowing, but it's like, yes, this
feels good.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I am in sync. Life is in sync, life is
in tandem. I'm building momentum, I am happy, joyous, and free.
Everything is happening abundantly and fluidly. Yes, I feel empowered.
And then when you are home and you're out of
breath and you're tired and your body is sore, and
it's kind of like, oh, this is so intense, but
(26:12):
it's that good intense, just smile and be like, yes,
that felt productive. I am productive, I'm useful, I'm valuable,
I am healthy, I'm well, and then fix your cup
of coffee or your sandwich or whatever you're doing. But
that's where all of us. These are tools and techniques.
I do this stuff a lot, and it's all about
(26:34):
being very present and aware to the experiences we already have.
It's the it's not just acting as if. It's about
expanding or magnifying the experiences we already have available to us.
To say I extend this to all aspects of my life.
This feeling of empowerment, this feeling of synchronicity, this feeling
(26:55):
of flow in all ass I am worthy of. I
am opening myself up to receiving, experiencing and sustaining this
in all areas of my life. And for you right now,
it's the professional piece.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yes, the person I spoke to, who you know, sort
of got the ball rolling rolling for this interview on
Monday is was the very head person and I know
how busy he is. And then a week later, I
accidentally at a coffee shop bumped into someone.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Who works for him.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Now these people don't know me, okay, And I told
her what had just happened, and she said, give me
your name and phone number. I'm going to have someone
contact you. And she's the one who had them follow up.
And it's because of bumping into another person that that happened.
And then last week I bumped into and didn't get
(27:51):
a chance to talk to a third person who also
works for him. So I see this coming down, and
I can't help but feel like maybe this will work
out this time. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And guess what instead of look, I'm just gonna read
because you're a linguist. You're a communicator, so let's just
rewire the language instead of saying I can't help, but
feeling like maybe this so just I'm so excited to
have the feeling that this is all synchronized. So get
rid of the can't help but and the maybe. Use
(28:25):
your definitives, you know, use those because that stuff matters.
Semantics matter right now for you. They matter for all
of us, but for you right now, in particular, the
semantics the words you know, instead of I can't help,
but feeling maybe this is gonna work out. And I
know exactly what you meant, because you didn't mean it
(28:46):
in a negative way, but it's like, no, I want
you to pay attention to your words. I am enjoying
feeling all of this encouragement. Thank you God, thank you soul,
thank you universe. Oh I needed these things and I
deserve them and I want more. And then this is
the other thing. So you know, when you go to
(29:12):
the coffee shop and somebody's just nice. The person that
checks you out is just nice. You know, how's your day?
Oh it's good, Oh mine's pretty good. Oh, Like you
just have a pleasant interaction with somebody out in the world,
and it feels good because you're like, oh, people are nice.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Oh that felt good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh somebody acknowledged me, you know, or we had a
dynamic and I didn't have to take it home with
me or think about it. There wasn't a string attached
to it. Next time you were in a situation or
a scenario where somebody is just nice or it's pleasant,
notice that too and say ooh, I want more pleasantry,
(29:48):
I want more synergistic dynamics.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'm worthy of this.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you soul,
thank you God, thank you for the divine orchestration of things,
even when I don't know what's exactly coming down and
the other thing they're saying to me, that's most important
for you. And this this has come up recently for myself,
but in quite a few readings, this element of hopefulness
(30:11):
and how we can feel hopeful. But the underlying unconscious
feeling behind the hopefulness is this fear of loss. Oh
my gosh, if I get excited, if I get hopeful
about this, what if it's taken away? So we don't
fully lean into the hopefulness. And for me and for
what I see a lot of times hopefulness. Gosh, it's magical.
(30:33):
Hope is an incredible it's a game changer. But it's
like I've got to feel the hope and eliminate the
underlying fear. And even if it's feeling the hope for
three seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds, that is so much
more powerful than engaging with the dialogue of hope and
(30:54):
behind it saying yeah, but let me not get too excited.
Maybe this is going to work out, because that's where
we start to backtrack, and this is forward momentum. This
is a year of you reindividuating yourself, finding your voice,
making these connections, and with this connection on Monday, first
of all, you have to follow up and let me
know how it goes, because I feel like there is
(31:14):
going to be opportunity, some things will click, new doors
will open, and I feel like come September, things are
aligned and there's money coming in and ideas are happening.
But I still want you to research as this is
going on, and even when, even if, because when it's
really when they click, because doors are opening through this
(31:35):
job and some opportunities, I still want you to put
your feelers out for what we were talking about in healthcare,
donor relations, telling stories, the journalism around that, and how
it can give back or add value or tell stories,
make things meaningful, share people's experiences because that's inspirational, and
(31:59):
that's part of you're voicing your gift.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You have been one hundred percent accurate, and I know
exactly who to reach out to, and this is just
a door opening on Monday.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I'm so happy, and I know I'm full of goosebumps
because that means my own soul is cirked up in
a way here and I know exactly what you're telling
me to do.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
It's it's so clear in my mind.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
And you will be astonished at Monday and what is
working behind the scenes for me and how I want
to give back and move forward in my life. And
a whole new world and a whole new experience is
out there, and I'm waiting to step through that door.
(32:54):
And I've been waiting for a long time, and this
is the right time.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It wasn't right before.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I wasn't ready because of being fired, But now I'm ready,
and now the door is about to be reopened, and
now I want to walk through that door and make
a difference in a whole new realm.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And how that's going to work out, I.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Don't know, but it is and you know it. And
that's the hopefulness. That's the deepening of faith and trust.
And guess what else will emanate from you greater than
it has in a long time. Is that feeling of appreciation.
Because the last few years have been hard, they've been discouraging,
they've literally, you know, been a fight, you know, as
(33:37):
far as your cancer and your journey and your career
all of that, you know, and it's like, wow, none
of that is in vain. Wow, this has given me
greater gratitude, greater appreciation, you know, like I am grateful,
and then it expands your life.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
And you are worthy of that.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I love working with crystals, and this came through before
we got on our call. There's a stone called goldstone,
and it's a man made stone. It's a stone that
has copper flex infused in it, and it's literally like
a bronzy color with gold flex, so it totally it's
like it's like sparkly. But I love goldstone because goldstone
(34:18):
generates empowerment, it generates momentum. It helps us to move
from the inside out. So I want you to get
some gold stone.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm going to be working with this in that group
that you keep referring gold stone.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah, in a couple of weeks. It's like two weeks. Literally,
Oh my gosh. Okay, that's how in.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Sync we are.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Just amazed. I need to take a deep breath because
it is so strong for me. I think you are
going to be amazed at everything that's coming up in
my world. I really do, because.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I'm smiling because you are already. I mean, you're such
a quick learner. I need to reflect that back you.
I know you know it, but let's just talk about
how you've applied it. You've already changed your like I
can see you, hear you changing your language around the
words you're saying to me, because that's how conscious you are,
that's how powerful your communication style is. You're like, you
are going to be amazed at what's happening for me.
(35:16):
I'm like, yes, girl, like that that's the kind of language.
And does it mean that we live in that and
feel that and talk that way to ourselves and to
the world all the time. No, But when you do
get exhausted or down or fearful or frustrated. That's when
you say, okay, it's okay to feel this. Let me
breathe it, let me feel it, and then let me
redirect my thinking to something that does feel safer, feel
(35:40):
more comfortable, feel more expansive, feel healthier for me to
focus my attention and my intention on. So never you know,
we don't want to bypass or discount. But just the
more clearer you get on your voice, the more you
call in, I'm a minute, and it is opening a
new door. You are opening a new chapter, and it's
bright and brilliant. And I know that our dialogue will
(36:03):
inspire other people because I've had two or three women
that I've connected with recently that have some similar experiences
a little bit different, that just feel that sense of
confusion or helplessness or discouragement or despair that says.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
But how do I get out of this? How do
I shift it?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And it just takes really small intentional action, one action
or interaction or thought deliberately repeated over and over again
at a time, and it doesn't have to be exhausted
or overwhelming. It just is making the decision that you're
ready for something new, ready for change, making the decision
(36:43):
is the hardest part. Like, I'm ready to feel happy again,
I'm ready to feel healthy. I'm over this season, and
we need these seasons of pain. Sometimes we're humans. We
learned better through pain than joy, you know. I flip
that around. I'm like, I want to learn through joy
because joy breeds joy. That was one of my intentions
(37:03):
for twenty twenty three. I want it to be and
feel and express more joy in my life. But to
be a jubulant person, I can be really intense. And
so I've had to prioritize my joy and how I
express it, when I express it, when I experience it
and harness it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And that's been a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
And that may sound, you know, like a high class problem,
but I mean, but it's been a really tough year
and a half with what I've gone through, and so
me saying I want joy, I want a little bit
of peace. Those things are happening, but it's been I
have had to prioritize that on my to do list
of what does joy look like, when do I experience it,
how do I harness it, how do I feel it?
(37:44):
And that's what's coming up for you. But you're doing
the work and you're already like willing to do.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
It absolutely, and I needed that. I needed to be told, reframe,
resay these things in a positive manner, don't question it,
accept it, except that you've met these people and they're
looking out for you and they're pushing these doors open
for you, and let's get these doors open and walk
through these doors. So I needed that. I needed someone
(38:11):
to say to me, yeah, you're right, they are. Let's
walk through the door and help me with my own
internal voice, because that's really what's been missing right now.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yes, and you've got it right there. And the wisdom
that you just shared, I know is going to support
and resonate with other people. And the coolest thing about that,
which really is the intention behind being able to do
this podcast and share these dialogues and discussions in this
rich space, the energy that reverberates out sometimes when we
(38:47):
hear a conversation or a dialogue that it was exactly
what we needed to hear or trigger something in us
into positive potential and healthy action that reverberates out and
can compound owned higher vibrational energy. So thank you. First
of all, I am thrilled to connect. I'm excited for you,
(39:07):
but thank you for coming on so open and vulnerable
and also listening, because you were listening and communicating back actively,
and not everybody does that. It's an exceptional skill. You
were listening and communicating in real time. I mean at
a very very advanced level. So know that you're highly
(39:30):
advanced on a soul level, but on a mental level.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Well, thank you, Thank you Katerina for coming on. I
hope this helped everyone today. Gave you some nuggets, some encouragement,
and wherever you're experiencing discouragement setbacks, see how you can
hit the reset button, shift your language, the power of
your voice, your internal dialogue, and really shift it into
(40:15):
what you are craving in your life to manifest. Knowing
that we can always begin again at any time, and
it's the beauty that we have as humans to begin
again and to regenerate and revitalize ourselves and shift our identity,
evolve our identity and that's so much of what is
(40:35):
happening for Katerina and for many of us out there
is revitalizing our identity, evolving our identity. So thank you
for coming on, and thank you for sharing all of
your wisdom
