Hello, beautiful soul.
Welcome to the mystic and theSkeptic podcast.
I'm your host, Heather Lee,the Mystic.
And I'm Paul the Skeptic.
We're so excited that ourshow's going to be dropping this
week.
We thought we would jump onand kind of give you a little bit
of a preview and get youexcited about what's coming up next.

(00:20):
Yes.
We're very excited about ourpremiere on Thursday, November 6th.
We're hoping that you'll joinus on all major podcast platforms
and also on YouTube.
Plus, we have a specialbackstage pass for those of you who
are interested in going deeperwith each topic, each subject that

(00:41):
we bring up for the show.
This backstage conversationallows us to go deeper into our personal
experiences and share.
Those with you in a meaningful way.
So we're going to be sharingwhatever came up for us while we
were recording the podcast.
And we have a great example,especially for episode two, that
we're going to be digging into.

(01:02):
So we're going to get realwith our process with you, and we're
also going to be sharing sometips with you that we've stumbled
upon in our own process, inour own journey through this experience.
Right.
And it's a journey that we'restill on.
So even as we do theseepisodes, we're still learning and

(01:25):
going through the process.
So I think you'll see that onthe backstage discussion.
Yeah.
And this is all about getting real.
This is all about tackling thehard stuff.
You know, the things thatpeople don't want to talk about,
the things that people don'twant to think about or have to do
in their lives to make thosebig changes and those big growth

(01:46):
opportunities, growth spurtsyou might want.
To call them, and how to dealwith it when one partner's growing
and spurting faster than the other.
Yeah.
Spurting out the crevices.
So this could be somethingthat you do with your partner, or
it could be just you on your own.
If you're the one growing andexpanding and your partner's not

(02:07):
interested, this could giveyou a perspective for what they're
experiencing.
Right, Paul?
Yes.
Yeah.
It can be just as hard for theperson who's kind of watching it
happen, especially if theydon't feel like they're along for
the ride and they feelthreatened or challenged by the changes
that are coming at them fast.

(02:28):
Yeah.
So we have both perspectivesin this show, and that's what we
found really fascinating whenwe started comparing notes and digging
into it deeper with each other.
So I hope you enjoy the podcast.
Please be sure to join us.
Yes.
We're looking forward tosharing it with you on Thursday,
November 6th.
