In this episode, I catch up with Lori Ann, who worked with me to quit smoking and totally changed her life in the process. She shares how she finally let go of cigarettes (even the secret stash in her freezer), went on a bucket-list cruise, and started fully stepping into her gifts as an empath and spiritual healer.

We talk about everything from swimming with dolphins to grounding, spirit teams, addiction recovery, and what it’s really like to live in a nudist community. Lori Ann’s story is raw, honest, funny, and full of heart.

Whether you’re on your own healing path or just love a good transformation story, this one’s for you.

Just after the podcast aired, Lori Ann wrote the following...
"Good morning! Thanks for inviting me to do the podcast, I think it turned out great but after watching it, there was so much more to my story I wish I would have told, like how the universe intervened right before my accident and prevented it from actually killing me.... Or how after those seven suicide attempts I'm thinking damn, I couldn't even do that right, I started thinking maybe I was meant to be here for a reason, which highs back to what happened right before I hit that truck. I meant to be here because I meant to help awaken people, and I hope when people see the podcast, they'll understand that.... I wanted to show how the universe does incorporate itself into the 3D world when you get so far off your path, they have no other choice but to grab your attention in a very severe way!! I was absolutely meant to be here, just not in Ohio! Anyway, thanks so much for having me on. I just pray that it reaches the people that it can help! ❤️"

year and a half ago, but I wouldcheat. Every once a while, I had
a pack of cigarettes in myfreezer, and every once in a
while, I would take one out. Anda friend of mine said, Why are
you still holding on to those?You know? Because it had been a
while since I had one. He goes,throw them out, just pitch them.

(02:10):
So I said, Okay, you got it.I'll do that. So I did. I went
home, I threw them out anddidn't miss it. And I mean, I
have my nicotine vape, so I'mnot completely but I still have
nicotine, but I just don't havethe smoke. So okay, yeah,
fabulous, yeah, well, and I hadincentive, because friends of
mine took me on a cruise. Theysaid, If you quit smoking, we'll

It was all over that shit, man, because that was on
my bucket list, and we had thebest time. We love fun. Oh, it
was well worth it. So if youquit. Thank you, Michael and
Suzanne.

Traci Kanaan (02:43):
I remember that, and you know what they they had
said something along the lineslike, we had more fun watching
you have fun on your first

Lori Ann (02:52):
cruise ever. It was amazing. We had so much fun
swimming with dolphins and justbeing in the ocean. It's just,
I'm getting chills now, justtalking about, I'm ready to book
my next one.

Traci Kanaan (03:04):
And then even last year, you had submitted Mike and
Suzanne as heroes, yes, in ourcommunity, yes, because they
were always there for you.

Lori Ann (03:13):
Oh my gosh, trouble. Yes. They were just like family.
I mean, anytime I had an issue,boom. They were right there for
me, and they absolutely deserveto be heroes. They were my hero.
They are my hero.

Traci Kanaan (03:26):
Awesome, and we're gonna withhold their last names.
They'll know it's them, yes, butwe don't want other people to
lorianne doesn't want to share.All right. So they are awesome.
They are very much so, so youquit smoking. Quit cigarettes.
Okay, you still have your vape.Still have my date as needed.
You went on a cruise. What else?Well,

Lori Ann (03:47):
see what happened was, after I had that meeting with
you, that the last time, I hadsome stuff that happened that
was not very pleasant, and so Ihad to spend some time alone.
And started thinking, Okay, Igotta change my whole
perspective on things, becausethis is not cool. I'm repeating
patterns, right? So I startedlooking at things differently,

(04:10):
and started focusing on theblessings and not my trials and
tribulations, you know? Istarted focusing more on, okay,
this is cool. Let's just keepthis going. And pretty soon, I
mean, now, like, what, two,almost three years later, I've
got my own little condo with mykitty. I've got this fabulous
group of friends, and we gokaraoke in and been exploring

(04:32):
beaches and, I mean, just Ifound my tribe awesome. I and I
just could not be happy. I wishmy kids were here. That would be
nice, you know, because I domiss them. It's like, every six
months, I'm like, okay, mom'sready. Mama needs her kitty fix,
you know? So that would be thecherry on tops, if my kids were
here, awesome. Yeah, we're doinggood. I

Traci Kanaan (04:52):
think when we did the podcast, I think you were
renting a room from someone.

Lori Ann (04:56):
Yep, I was staying with somebody. I was staying on
a couch, on the couch. Somebody,and I just started shit went
down, and I had to get throughit, and I did it. And I, I'm
proud of myself. I can't believeI I did and I I love being
single, because I proven I'mdoing it on my own. I don't need
a man. I only have to havesomebody there. I'll have to ask

(05:18):
permission to do anything if Iwant to run the vacuum cleaner
at three in the morning, I'mrunning the vacuum cleaner at
three in the morning. You know,I get lonely sometimes, but not
enough to

Traci Kanaan (05:31):
you're doing karaoke for

Lori Ann (05:36):
well, and then volleyball too. Yeah. So, yeah,
I stay busy. And plus, you know,I do have clients that come in
because my spiritual practice ispicked up a little bit. So okay,
you know, I have a few clientsfor that.

Traci Kanaan (05:47):
And this is the empath. So tell me about that,
because you were kind ofthinking almost sort of gonna do
it,

Lori Ann (05:54):
yep. And so I am. I'm going slow, though, because I
don't want to get in over myhead, and I don't want to get
into a situation where I don'tknow what I'm doing and I don't
want to give somebody bad, youknow, information. Okay, so I'm
very cautious what I tell butthat my thing is, is I feel
energy, I mean, so I can tellright away if somebody's hiding

(06:16):
something, if we're having adiscussion, I can tell if
they're lying to me. I don'tknow how I know. I just know.
And a good example was the otherday we I was playing volleyball
at the pool, and my chair wassitting with a bunch of my
friends and stuff, and there wasa tourist that was there, and
his chair was beside mine. So Iget out of the pool and I walk
over this I'm walking over. Ijust immediately felt this

(06:39):
invisible, like I cannot sit byhim, and he had so much cologne
on. So I don't know, noticethat, but it was so
overpowering. But anyway, so Igo to my chair, and I sit down,
and I could not get far enoughaway from him in my chair. I
don't know why. I mean, he wasprobably there was something
with this kid, this guy, and Iwas, like, I was almost sitting

(07:03):
in this guy's laps. I couldn'tget far enough away from him,
and I ended up leaving. Butbecause that the negative energy
coming off of him was so strongI couldn't even stay at the
pool. It was crazy. Wow. And so,yeah, so, like, I pick up
energies from friends, like, ifsomebody's struggling, I might
wake up in the morning, I'llfeel heavy or sad or even sick.

(07:24):
And as soon as I start talkingto people, I find out who it
was. As soon as I find out whoit is that's gone, it's gone.
It's completely gone. It's justweird. I just sometimes know
things without knowing how Iknow. It's just it's very cool.
I love it.

Traci Kanaan (07:36):
What a gift it is. It is a gift. What a gift. So,
so So you have a couple ofclients, you don't want to
overdo it, and what is a Tellme, what is a session with one
of your

Lori Ann (07:47):
clients? It depends on what they're looking for. Like,
sometimes they want they havequestions on their love life and
so, and I don't like to use theword psychic, because I can't
tell you what's going to happeneven tomorrow, because we have
free will, and that can changein the drop of a hat. Yeah, I
could just tell you what theenergy feels like, and I'm
getting chills. That's myconfirmation. I can just tell
you what the energy is rightnow, as of today. Mm, hmm. But

(08:11):
like I said, Because of freewill, it changes. So you know, I
could say, oh, in two weeks,you're gonna your your health is
gonna be better, and you'regonna win all this money and
blah, blah, blah. But if youdecide not to go to the carry
out, buy that lottery ticket,you're not gonna win it. You're
just gonna sit there thinking,yeah, me and I'm gonna get that
money. So you know, it's all it.You have to work with it.

(08:31):
Gotcha. So that's why I can. Iwill never say. I will tell you
what's gonna happen in thefuture, because I won't. I'll
just tell you I and that's whatI do. I tell them what I'm
picking up now, what I I cantell them, what has happened in
the past, what somebody mighthave been thinking in the past,
that kind of thing. So that'sit. Yeah, it is. It's very cool.
How cool. I love it.

Traci Kanaan (08:54):
No, it. This is just so awesome. I did an
episode with Alan, aka linguist,yes, and his life has
dramatically trans, yeah, Iknow. I know as well, and I'm
trying to get him back on theshow. Too good. I hope you do.
He'll do it. I just, I gotta notbe so busy, too.

Lori Ann (09:14):
Yeah. Well, you know, when I, when I read your, your
blog, I was like, Oh my God,there's no way. I can't believe
she posted this, because this Ido that on Facebook. I'll post
uplifting things that hashappened to me. So I know it's
true. I'm not. I'm not doingbullshit out there. I'm not This
is shit that I can testify topersonally. So yeah, it's very

(09:38):
cool. I am so freaking blessed.I just,

Traci Kanaan (09:43):
you know, I there's a couple at the nudist
community around the corner fromParadise lakes, and I did their
wedding. Okay, two, it was justbefore mine. So it was, I think,
January of 2023, okay, that Idid it and they had a post. They
were, I can't, I don't recall,but they might have both been

(10:05):
addicts, but they were bothhomeless at one point, and they
had just gotten back, you know,they got married, they've been
working their way, fighting,yeah, this all together. And
they got home from a trip, andthey had a flat tire at the
airport, and then they came homeand their fridge died and lost
all their food. And they werethankful, because five years

(10:30):
ago, they were homeless, yeah,and now they had done well
enough that they have a car thathas a flat tire, and they have a
home with a fridge that doesright.

Lori Ann (10:40):
Yes,

Traci Kanaan (10:40):
whoa. That just so I just love hearing that, yeah.
And I was like, Yo,

Lori Ann (10:49):
I'm sorry. Confirmation

Traci Kanaan (10:51):
was that I just, I needed to read that yesterday. I
got to send him a note too.

Lori Ann (10:56):
That's very cool, but because you can always find you
could be having the worst dayever, but there is something you
can be thankful for, and if youjust concentrate on that one
thing, all this abundance andthings start going your way, and
don't force it, just go with theflow, you know, because you know
you can manifest things. Butonce you try to, once you do

(11:17):
that, let it go and let theuniverse take care of it.
Because if you try to controlit, they can't come in, and you
have to invite them in. Yeah,you do, you have to invite them
in. So, yeah, it's but becauseof my experience, and it feels
so good, and I know where I wasat before. I mean, in Ohio I was

(11:38):
my family can attest to it. Iwas horrible. I was horrible. I
was doing drugs. I was doingeverything to try and get out of
my depression. And I just, Iwasn't supposed to be there.
Yeah, I wasn't supposed to bethere. And it I'm where I'm at
supposed to be right now, andI've got a long way to go. I
mean, I'm not near done, but Iwant to do

Traci Kanaan (12:01):
Do you care to share any of your journey from
drugs to where you are now?Okay?

Lori Ann (12:06):
You don't have to. It's not that I don't want to
get emotional. I and being anempath, I cry easily or happy
stuff, I know happy stuff, sadstuff. It don't matter. I'll
cry.

Traci Kanaan (12:20):
My family, the show is to help others.

Lori Ann (12:23):
Yes, yes, absolutely. So I thought I was doing a good
job hiding it, you know, becauseI went from my accident to the
pain pills, you know, and then Igot hooked on that, and I
started doing heroin, and Ithought it was doing great at
hiding it. I wasn't. I got aletter from my son.

Traci Kanaan (12:44):
Okay, I'm sure it wasn't Hello,

Lori Ann (12:49):
but that woke me up. Damn it. Tracy, put makeup on
and everything and you'reruining it. Look it. No,
seriously. Um, it was because ofthat letter. It was my son, and
they, my kids have all gonetogether with that letter, and
I'm like, What the hell am Idoing? You know, this is I do

(13:11):
not want to live like this, andso I just I stopped. I still
smoke weed because I have veryhigh anxiety, and it helps me
with the empath, with theenergies that I feel, and so
helps you work through all that.But all that, but anyway, but I
put that cold turkey. Haven'teven gone back to it once, don't
I mean, I can I hear storiesnow, before, I couldn't even

(13:32):
watch, like intervention on TV,because they would show and that
would be like a trigger. No. Nowwhen I hear about stuff like
that, now it's like, oh, whatcan I do to help you? How long
you how can we get this to stop?I'm sorry.

Traci Kanaan (13:44):
How long you been clean for heroin?

Lori Ann (13:46):
Oh, my gosh, um, four or five years. Awesome. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I haven't even, noteven a desire, and even, like,
if I I've had pains, you know,like infections and stuff, and
they've given me pain medicine.I'm so careful what I take, you

(14:07):
know, I'll take one or two, andthen that's it. Because I don't,
I don't want to, I don't think Iwould, I I'm, I'm one of those
people. When I get my mind madeup about something, that's
pretty much, it takes a lot tochange it back. A little

Traci Kanaan (14:19):
bit of smudge on your mascara. Oh, okay, thank
you. There we go. Yeah,

Lori Ann (14:24):
thank you. See what you did. You mean you had a
blurb in the video. Looks ugly.Okay,

Traci Kanaan (14:33):
so you've been clean from heroin four to five
years, and you just quit coldturkey. You didn't do rehab or
anything like that. You just

Lori Ann (14:40):
said, No, when I read that letter, I it was a huge
wake up call. Okay, and that'sthat was it.

Traci Kanaan (14:47):
That was too many meetings.

Lori Ann (14:49):
No, I tried, because he had an issue to my son, my
oldest son, yeah, he had anissue. And so I went to a couple
meetings with him. It to me, itwas almost triggering, because
they were talking, people wouldtalk about, you know, a relapse,
or something that happened whenthey were on it. And I'm like, I
don't, I don't want to, itsounds terrible. I don't want to

(15:11):
hear that. Yeah, yeah. I justwant to, that's the past that I
don't want to think about. Ipassed it. So no, I don't know
if he still goes to means, I'mnot sure, but no, I can't do
meetings which, and they'rewonderful for people that it
benefits, it did not benefit me.

Traci Kanaan (15:28):
Okay, so meetings didn't help. Yep. Fabulous. And
then how did you get from Ohioto

Lori Ann (15:40):
Florida? So, okay, so after I cleaned myself up from
from the drugs and stuff, and Istarted noticing, after my
accident, how I was picking upfeelings from shows commercials.
If somebody's telling me astory, I mean, it's like I was
living that story with them,like I was feeling what they

(16:01):
were feeling. So I started kindof researching that, a little
bit like, what is this? Ithought it was going crazy. I
thought someone's wrong with me,you know, because I was taking
antibiotic or not, antibiotics,I'm sorry, antidepressants and
stuff like that, you know,thinking that something's wrong
with me. But the more Iresearched, the more it was
hitting home that, oh my God,that's not I. There's nothing

(16:22):
wrong with me. I I have a giftthat I didn't know that. So I
started taking classes and doingmore and more research on it,
figuring out what it was, and Istill have a hard time
controlling it, like I said,like with the thing at the pool,
with that guy's energy and howstrong it was, there's a lot of

(16:42):
impacts that can just stop thatand be okay. And I haven't
figured that out yet. I haven'tfigured out how to shut that
down, other than walking away.That's that's the only thing I
can do, is just leave thesituation so but, um, but, yeah,
it's pretty and then I startedlike wanting to get more on the

(17:02):
Clairvoyant side of things, so Istarted doing meditations and
researching it. And one day inOhio, my husband had lost his
phone, and so we're, like,trying to figure out where, and
we live on a farm, right? Andhis parents house, they lived
across the road, just quartermile. So I'm like, okay, Where's
where's your phone? I don't knowhe was mowing yards, and so it

(17:24):
could be anywhere. So I'mstanding in our mud room, and I
remember I closed my eyes, and Igot this vision of our field,
and it was all bright, but itdark walls. Came to this one
section and stopped, and Ilooked at him, I said, I know
where your phone's at. We droveright there, and there was this
phone. So I started, but thenthat started freaking me out,

(17:47):
because then that scared me.It's like, Oh God, I don't know
if I want to be able to do that.You know, have that kind of
vision. So they backed it off.And so I don't have as strong
because I've had some other verystrong, powerful things come
through that I had no i It waslike spewing out of me. I didn't
even know what I was saying. SoI said, we back up a little bit,
you know, let me get used tothis still, so it's not as

(18:09):
strong. I don't have it asstrong anymore, so I can at
least control it. And I I'mgetting to know what's coming
from me and what's coming fromSpirit. Because when it comes
from spirit. It just comes out.I have no control over what I'm
saying and I and I'll say wordsthat I don't use. It's just
weird. It's weird

Traci Kanaan (18:29):
with is it possible that you've always had
this gift, and that, becauseyou're energetically sensitive,
the heroin helped divide that,

Lori Ann (18:46):
possibly, I don't know, because at that time when
I when all that was going on,when I after my accident, and I
was on the pain medicine andstuff, I started noticing that I
could get out of bed and I couldgo do laundry, and I could mop
the floors, and I could cookdinner, and I could go grocery
shopping, because before I wasso depressed, I couldn't even

(19:08):
get out of bed. I mean, I wouldgo three days without showering.
I mean, it was awful. Yeah, itwas and this was, I tried
suicide seven times. Wow, seventimes I drink. What is that
green fluid that they put incars? I drank the antifreeze. I
took pills. I mean, I did notwant to be here. I was so I

(19:31):
couldn't but I didn't know why.I had a great husband. I had
wonderful kids, a nice home. Ihad no reason to feel that way,
none. And when I then, I had theaccident. And then that's what

Traci Kanaan (19:47):
sometimes prior to the accident, all right? And
then the accident you got, youwere hit head on by a

Lori Ann (19:52):
rest of my truck ran a stop sign, and I hit it head on,
okay, all right. I

Traci Kanaan (19:56):
remember that much because at one point you had
asked me to hypnotize you. Youto remember

Lori Ann (20:00):
what happened? Yeah, good, now, good,
now. Did you? Yeah? I was
wondering whatever, what kind ofkarma he ever insured, because
he never stopped. But yeah,

Traci Kanaan (20:12):
it was a hit and run, yeah, yeah, okay, all
right. So really unhappy prior,and that's when you were doing
the

Lori Ann (20:20):
heroin. No, that was after. Then the right, so you
were

Traci Kanaan (20:23):
just unhappy, yeah, accident, heroin, and then
you got clean. Yes, okay,

Lori Ann (20:28):
yes, that way we got and then that's and after, as I
was getting clean, that's when Iwas researching more of the
spiritual aspect of what wasgoing on with me and what,
what's an impact, you know, thatkind of

Traci Kanaan (20:40):
thing. Okay, so the the accident was kind of the
marker, yes, oh, absolutely,okay. So that was as horrible as
it was to go through that.

Lori Ann (20:49):
It was a blessing, and it's a blessing, absolutely,
absolutely.

Traci Kanaan (20:53):
Somebody told me, you know, because I've been
dealing with this Hashimotoshit, like, what if Hashimotos
was a gift. And after I said,Fuck you. I was like, Oh, what
if he's right,

Lori Ann (21:04):
yeah, because what if it is a gift, like, there's
always a worst case scenariothat you could be going through.
I don't know anything about whatyou're going through, but it's
always a worst case scenario.It's always worse than what it
could be, yeah. So yeah, I getthat. I got that.

Traci Kanaan (21:18):
Okay, all right, so that made me wonder if you
were already energeticallysensitive, but you didn't
understand it

Lori Ann (21:26):
well, you know? It's funny, because I try to think
back to when I was a kid, and Idid not have a good childhood,
you know, and I never felt likeI belonged, and I was always
told I was too sensitive, Icried too easy, I was too this,
new that. So I might have hadthat gift, but she

Traci Kanaan (21:44):
didn't know what it was, right, right? You said
you were too sensitive.

Lori Ann (21:48):
Oh my gosh. I was always told I was too sensitive.
I was a baby. I'm too sensitive.My feelings get hurt too easy. I
was to this, do that. Okay, hellyeah, I am, and I like it. Thank
you very much. All right,

Traci Kanaan (22:04):
fabulous, fabulous. Okay, I'm just making
little notes. Sometimes I liketo draw, see the parallels,
because sometimes let like thisone that I have a feeling you
are just highly energeticallysensitive, and you didn't know

(22:24):
what it was, yeah, and a lot ofthat goes either way in some
people. And if, depending on howyou were raised, if you were
raised in a more negativeenvironment, it becomes too
much, and you try to, it was oneof those environments

Lori Ann (22:38):
where you don't talk about your feelings. You try to,
you just pay Be quiet and be agood little girl and don't talk
and everything's fine. Oh, youjust try to stay out of trouble.
You just, I spent about my wholechildhood in my bedroom, because
I just was always walking oneggshells. It just, it was not
good. Okay,

Traci Kanaan (22:58):
good deal. And then go away. I had some another
like, Aha, moment away. Oh, I'mgonna walk away. You were
talking about the guy in thepool with bad energy and how you
don't know how to deal with it,but to walk away. I think I
might be able to help you withsomething. Okay, if you're if

(23:19):
you're

Lori Ann (23:20):
down to play. Yes, absolutely, I love

Traci Kanaan (23:23):
that. All right, yeah, because there are certain,
certain things you can do toarmor up. Okay, all right,

Lori Ann (23:29):
where my crystals? You know, I wear protection, but
it's still

Traci Kanaan (23:33):
so I love crystals, and I didn't wear any
of mine today, but I had aclient. I thought this was so
interesting. She had a wholefour or five of them one time I
go, tell me about yourbracelets. What are each of it?
Because they were each one was adifferent color, okay. She goes,
this one's for anxiety, thisone's for depression. And I

(23:56):
went, Oh, let's, can werepurpose those? And she's like,
What do you mean? I go everytime you put it on, this is my
one for depression. Yeah, you'recarrying depression. Yes, this
is my one for anxiety. So let'srepurpose that. This is my one
very calm and serenity. This ismy one for peace. Yes. This is
my one for positivity. Just,yeah, I never thought about

(24:19):
that. I go, you know, yes,reinforce

Lori Ann (24:22):
exactly the perspective. Is how you choose
to look at it,

Traci Kanaan (24:25):
yeah, absolutely, good girl. But when you're
looking at it, you know,protection from anxiety, you're
still telling yourself anxiety,instead of, I am reinforcing
calm, I am reinforcing power,enforcing personal strength.
Absolutely, little differentdeal there. Okay, so one of the

(24:47):
things that I have learned, andthis is through my guide that I
level up with, is the cleansingyourself energetically in
between clients and in betweeninteractions. Do. And it can be
as fancy or as simple. Now Ihave, like, a whole 10 step
process which but just somethings that there's one that's

(25:10):
called stillness practice. And Ithink I actually did a blog
about this, called clearing thespace. But you just play, like a
10 minute piece of music that'svery, very calm. And you just
put your hands over your heartand just reconnect with yourself
while you listen to that music,and then connect with others.

(25:35):
And then, you know, justwhatever hand gestures are
meaningful to you. So you canstart with, here's where I am
now, and then here's where Iwant to be. Thank you so much
for being here. So I havesomething to rise to, okay, and
then connecting back withyourself and just taking 10
minutes, five minutes, if youknow, even five minutes in
between clients, to just playnice call. I mean, don't do AC.

(25:58):
DC. Yeah.
But just, you know, somethingfrom the spa channel, yeah, just
to really

Lori Ann (26:12):
connect, I listen to subluminals. Oh, perfect. I love
subliminals. I listen to them atnight too. They're just, they
help keep you calm, and they,you know, bounce all your
chakras and all that good funstuff. I

Traci Kanaan (26:23):
started doing that as well. And then, like, I
forgot to charge my headset.I'm, like, having anxiety.
But yeah, taking 10 minutes tojust clear the space, and then

(26:44):
there's different things thatit's all thought, okay, a lot of
it's all thoughts, but like theguy in the pool, when you just
sense that negative energy, it'sprotecting yourself so you can
put A ball of energy aroundyourself. I do that

Lori Ann (27:02):
every self, Archangel Michael, put me in a bubble of
protection per girl. Are youkidding me? Hell yeah, baby. I
just gotta chill. Do that.

Traci Kanaan (27:15):
Then you can also put a ball around him

Lori Ann (27:22):
to mind. I know that have been struggling. I do that
for them. Oh my gosh. I cannotbelieve you're saying this.
Yeah, keep the ball. And I evenasked the universe. I said,
let's do some synchronicity.Give me, give me a message for
you. Giving me the message

Traci Kanaan (27:35):
that's awesome, wrapping people in a ball, yeah,
and, and, you know, you know. Sosome of this dips into the dark
parts of hypnosis. So you canwrap them up in a

Lori Ann (27:47):
fuck off. Oh yeah.

Traci Kanaan (27:50):
But wrap them in, hey, I don't know what you're
going through. I don't know whatliterally are now, but I

Lori Ann (27:56):
wish you well she will

Traci Kanaan (27:58):
elsewhere, yeah. So I've had to do that quite

Lori Ann (28:02):
a bit, you know, I've never done it as an so much as a
negative, like coming acrosssomething just like that. But
that's so good. I'm glad youpoint. I'll have to try that.

Traci Kanaan (28:12):
Yeah, there is a thing called Dark Arts of
hypnosis. And I actually talkeda little, talked a little bit
about this stuff. I podcast withanother paradise lakes person
during the election, okay?Because the dark arts of
hypnosis is used a lot inpolitical parties, and I'm not

Lori Ann (28:28):
this is what do you mean by the dark? Are you
talking about the negative? Morenegative

Traci Kanaan (28:32):
persuasion. Okay, negative persuasion. That's
brainwashing. The let me giveyou incomplete information, let
me, let me use words

Lori Ann (28:41):
to sway. Yeah, gaslighting stuff, right? Yeah?
Like so in the

Traci Kanaan (28:45):
news, they'll do, oh, this heinous action by so
and so. All right, if you're anews reporter, you shouldn't be
using words like heinous, yeah,so and so did this? Yeah, that's
reporting. So and so did thisheinous action that's

Lori Ann (29:01):
in your head, yeah, yeah, I get

Traci Kanaan (29:03):
it. There's a lot of that going on, yeah. And so
being aware of the languagepatterns that are you Yeah, and
questioning everything. Is thisnews or is this influence? Yeah,
yeah, that's true, and we did alot of that with Terry's
episode. What was it had to dowith the election? I can't

(29:28):
remember the name of thatepisode, but that's what it was
that she had watched a lot ofthis one kind of media, and they
kept coloring it. And so whenthe election didn't go the way,
she thought she was a mess,because here she had been
getting all this dark art

Lori Ann (29:45):
stuff. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Traci Kanaan (29:48):
So yes, always watch out for the dark Yes. And
then when you come acrosssomeone who's a little bit not
they, let's say they vibratelower. Yes, that's. Good way to,
you know, I diplomatic. I wishyou well, but you need to
vibrate elsewhere,

Lori Ann (30:06):
right? Yeah, that was crazy. Because, I mean, that
was, I mean, I can be aroundpeople, and I'll pick up, like,
some not so good energy, and Ican still be around them for a
little bit, you know, I'm allbut this was, I'm telling you,
it was like a freaking wall.Slam down. Like, nope. He is not
for you. He is you stay the hellaway from nothing. I mean, I

(30:26):
wasn't even interested. But, Imean, it's just, you

Traci Kanaan (30:28):
know, yeah, but when

Lori Ann (30:30):
you just pick up on that, oh my god, right away,
right away. So

Traci Kanaan (30:33):
it's so it's, it's being super sensitive is a great
blessing, but it's also a curse,because then you're just

Lori Ann (30:41):
people get afraid of me, you know? I mean, like, I've
had people like, when they findout what I can do, all of a
sudden, they're gone. They don'twant to be and I know it's a
good thing. It's because theyare realizing that I know things
that they don't want me to know.

Traci Kanaan (31:00):
But and that's okay not everybody.

Lori Ann (31:03):
First I was like, I couldn't figure out why, you
know, and then it's like, maybeI shouldn't talk about it, yeah,
keep my mouth

Traci Kanaan (31:11):
shut. So do you have a daily ritual of things
that you do to keep yourselfclean? And tell me about not

Lori Ann (31:19):
clean so much, but on my spiritual path, on my on my
purpose of why I'm here. Butyeah, every morning I meditate,
and I talk with my spirit team.Every morning meditate.

Traci Kanaan (31:28):
How long do you meditate for?

Lori Ann (31:30):
Usually in the mornings, like unless there's
something else that I'mmeditating for, just a 10 Minute
Meditation. It's just a guidedmeditation. I listen to, okay?
And then, and then I talk outloud to my spirit team. I It's I
don't talk to him. In my head, Ihave a conversation like I'm
talking to you. This is how Italk to them. And I'm always

(31:51):
asking for guidance for my lovedones. And when I say loved ones,
they know I mean all of my lovedones, not just my immediate
family. I'm talking everybodythat I have encountered, that I
care about, that's my loved one.So I'm always asking for
protection for them, forguidance for I'll ask for extra

(32:11):
support for for those that arestruggling, physically,
mentally, spiritually,emotionally, that kind of thing.
The bubbles I put my friends inbubbles. They don't know that
they're going to find out now,but when they're struggling, or
when they have some physicalgoing on, Oh God, I got chills
again. I always put them intheir protective bubbles so that
anything that's negative thatgets sent to them through evil

(32:35):
eye, curses, hexes, spells, youknow, all that kind of stuff,
bounces off that bubble and getssent back to the person that's
in it. And it works perfect. Itworks because I know I have
haters out there, and that'sokay, because they don't bother
me. I wish them well, I do. Idon't wish them. I don't wish
evil back on them. I wish themto heal. I wish them to see that

(32:56):
their life doesn't have to be sobad, that doesn't have to be so
negative.

Traci Kanaan (33:00):
One of my favorite, favorite quotes of all
time. So maybe 15, 1015, yearsago, there was a show called
America's most smartest model.And America's most America's
most smartest model. And onthere was a model named Mandy
Lynn, who is gorgeous. She didher own, this is back in my

(33:25):
space. She did her own MySpacestuff, and she was a lingerie
model and a Halloween costumemodel, okay, and crazy colored
hair and but on, I rememberlooking at her MySpace page and
in the bling, because all theglitter bling that they Yeah, it

(33:46):
said, Love all the motherfuckersthat hate you because they are
your biggest fans. It's true.And I always

Lori Ann (33:56):
like that. Say that again,

Traci Kanaan (33:58):
motherfuckers that hate you because they are your
biggest fan. I like that. I waslike, Wow. What a what a
different way of looking atthat. But the the people that
you trigger something negativein there's something about you
that they either they eitherwant it or it reminds them of

Lori Ann (34:20):
something that they Yeah, bad that happened? Yes,
yes, i and i That's happenedmore times than I care to count,
that I've had somebody say to methat, you know, I did this, and
it made them think of that, andso it made them upset, and I'm
just being me, but that's whatwe do, that's as a healer,
that's what we do. We mirrorback without even knowing that

(34:42):
we're doing it. We just do itand and it's to help them heal.
So I absolutely believe that. Ibelieve you. I wish them. Well,
yeah, I don't have dull feelingstowards anybody. I just wish
them. Well,

Traci Kanaan (34:55):
yeah, that's, that's all you can do. But yeah,
I always, I being, I alwaysthought. Out that statement, I'd
love to meet her someday. Idon't even know if she's still
modeling every now and then,I'll, you know, be cool spirit,
Halloween, yeah, oh, that'smaybe Lynn. So maybe then here's
this, I love you. You just Youbrought so much joy to my heart

(35:18):
on that stupid show. You werethe best one. You should have
won it. Anyway. I love MandyLynn. I don't even know what
happened to the other show, butI remember her. She was great.
So let's see here. So oh, yourspirit team. Tell me about Is it
a deal? Where is it just like aspirit collective? Or can you

(35:40):
identify this spirit, thespirit, the spirit, their
spirit,

Lori Ann (35:44):
I know of four for sure, but when I when I say
spirit team, I'm includingancestors that I have, that have
passed long before I was eventhought of. So it's family I
have both my kids, dads are onthe other side, and they're part
of my spirit team. My father ispart of my spirit team. My
stepmother is grandpa marriage.You know, angels i but when I

(36:06):
talk to the archangels, Ispecifically talk call them by
name, you know, like Michael orRaphael or Gabriel. You know,
whoever I'm talking to, talkingto, because they each have a
special thing that they do. Anddon't ask me what they are,
because I I only know a few. Butyeah, when I my spirit team is
just, they're the ones that arealways with me,

Traci Kanaan (36:27):
cool and with the angels. Is this more Catholic
based, Christian based?

Lori Ann (36:32):
Nope, nope, just Christian, Christian based,
yeah. I mean, I was raisedMethodist, but I don't follow
religion. I don't. I neverunderstood religion. I read the
Bible once and was lost. I mean,I tried, I did, but I'm, I don't
know why. I just never got intoreligion. I thought it looked
fake and phony. And maybe it'sbecause, like, you would go to

(36:54):
church on Sundays and everybodybe so nice on their best
behavior, and then throughoutthe week, you know, they're
yelling at their kids, and menare beating up their wives and
they're cussing and they'redrinking and they're, you know,
it's fake. It was just fake. AndI want real. And so when I
started doing my own research,that's when it started hitting
home for me. And I'm like,Alright, I'm on to something

(37:15):
here. So, and then I found out,as I'm talking about it, I'm not
the only one. I mean, a lot ofmy friends are very spiritual
people, and you wouldn't knowit, but we have conversations so
we mesh very well. That'sawesome. It is, it is. It's
wonderful because it gives melike one. When I left Ohio, I
didn't leave because my marriagewas so bad. I I left because I

(37:38):
knew I couldn't stay thereanymore. That was not where he
was supposed to be. And so Itold John. I said, I'm going to
Florida. Do you want to go? Andhe we lived on the farm. He's
like, No, I got to work, and I'mgonna stay on the farm. I said,
Well, I can't stay and we stilltalk. I mean, he's still one of
my best friends. We talk all thetime, and he will always be my
family. He will always befamily.

Traci Kanaan (38:00):
And we're divorced, and it was just
recently final

Lori Ann (38:04):
two years, about a year and a half, but a year,
okay, I

Traci Kanaan (38:06):
was gonna say, because I remember, it wasn't
like, you got divorced and leftOhio, right?

Lori Ann (38:12):
Yeah, I was here for about a year, maybe a year and a
half, before it was finalized.Did you come right to Tampa?
I went to
Nashville first and stayed therebecause I and this was, like,
right at the tail end of thevirus, the Coronavirus, where
you could go out. So there werestill things that weren't open,
but I was traveling by myself,and I've never done that before,

(38:33):
so I was a nervous wreck. So Ididn't venture out too far, but
I'd go places. I'd walk around alittle bit, but yeah, pretty
much I came here after that.And, yeah, found my home

Traci Kanaan (38:45):
America. So Nashville first, and then you
came to Tampa, yeah. And did youcome right to Pasco? Or you
were, like, new to the wholenewest

Lori Ann (38:53):
thing? Oh, my god, yeah. Because when I when I was
looking for a place to go, and Iwould find a place I liked, I
would go to punch in my card,and it wouldn't take my
information, it would come backwhere it was declined. So then I
called the bank, and I'd belike, Why is my bank? Why is my
card getting declined? You know,there's plenty of money in
there, and I'm trying to book aNate. Nothing came through.

(39:14):
We're not showing anything. Theonly place that it took my card
was paradise. So then I had afriend in Ohio that is from this
area, when she found when I toldher I was going, she just busted
a gut laugh. And she's like, youknow, that's nudist. I go, Oh,
the fuck it is. And she's like,No, seriously. I'm like, Oh,

(39:34):
hell no. So I called my Airbnband I got canceled. I am not a
nudist. I'm travel. I'm a singlewoman traveling by herself.
Blah, blah, blah. So he's so Icall it. They cancel it. And in
the meantime, though, I'm here,but I'm at, it's off of 54 Oh,

(39:55):
there's hotels back there.There's a Hilton, Hilton down
there. Um, there's like. Uh,three or four different hotels
anyway, I was staying downthere, and I was due to leave,
like, in a week, and so theAirbnb they said, well, it'll
take about three days, and themoney will be back on your card,
and no cancer and blah, blah,blah. So then Jim calls me the
next day, and he said, Hey, ifyou're going to cancel, it

(40:16):
canceled, so I can list thething. And I'm like, I did, but
I'll call him back. They saidit's gonna take a few days to
get it, you know, before it'sall processed and stuff. But
I'll call him double check. Sohe's like, alright, so I call
and they're like, Yep, it'scanceled. And you know, you
should get your money backtomorrow. And so I'm checking
the bank tomorrow, and the moneyis not there next day, money is
not there. And I'm like, Oh,shit. So I called Airbnb and

(40:37):
because, look, I'm done. I mean,I have, I have to go somewhere.
I have to leave this place,right? So I call Airbnb, and I'm
like, you know, my money nevercame back. And they're like, it
never got canceled. So I calledJim back, and I said, I guess
I'm coming because they it nevergot canceled. So I show up, and
he takes me to my condo, and Igo in, and I go back in the

(41:00):
bedroom and shut the door andlaid on the bedding, bald,
there's naked people walkingeverywhere. What am I doing
here? But by the third day, Jim,God love him. He had a friend of
his that was working with him,Angie. She came and talked to
me, and she took me around andand people were very nice and

(41:22):
friendly. And I started out thethird day, I went to Angie's
place and took my top off. And Iwas like, This is amazing. I can
get into this. And I bet youwithin day five, I was at the
pool Bucha naked. I was like,Oh, my kids are never gonna
believe this, because this isnot me, but I found my home. I

(41:42):
found I found my people, andthey and they just loved Yeah.
Came up to me and it welcomedme, and it's just, I just love
it here. I just have never metpeople like this

Traci Kanaan (41:53):
before. That's awesome, so awesome. And then I
remember you, you bouncedaround,

Lori Ann (41:59):
yeah, two couples. I was trying to find a place that
you were, yeah, and I was stillwaiting on, I wasn't forced yet.
So, you know, I didn't have awhole lot of money that I was
working with. So, um, but thenthat, when I

Traci Kanaan (42:10):
found stayed with various friends, just

Lori Ann (42:13):
with Anne, and then I stayed, like, I would do an
Airbnb for like, a month here ormonth there, until I got
something where I could get anactual lease and then actually
feel like a permanent personthere.

Traci Kanaan (42:27):
Now, perfect how, yeah, it's just been such a joy
to see you just get better, getbetter, get better. And you
know, so I do a lot of a lot ofmy podcast guests are at
Paradise, yeah, and watchingthem all move up in their own
ways, yeah,

Lori Ann (42:44):
yeah. So heartwarming. Yeah, it is. It's wonderful.

Traci Kanaan (42:48):
So, so I'm always glad that I do this, and because
I A lot of times people come toparadise. They don't have much,
right? They really don't havemuch, but it's such a welcoming
environment. And people justsay, let me

Lori Ann (43:02):
and they let you be who you are. Yeah, you know, if
you're putting on a pretense ofparadise, that's your own fault.
Yeah, that is your own damnfault. Because you don't have to
go love you. There's just wegot, oh well, you know, you live
there. We have all kinds ofpeople that live there that just
crazy that you would never see awoman you probably would see a
Walmart, you probably would seea Walmart, but

Traci Kanaan (43:26):
paradise lakes is like people of Walmart without
clothes, not always,

Lori Ann (43:31):
yeah,

Traci Kanaan (43:32):
yeah, yeah. I just, I love it. It's just, it's
cheers, yeah, absolutely there.So how cool. What else do you
want to share?

Lori Ann (43:44):
That's about it. I really don't have a whole lot
more to talk about. I mean, just

Traci Kanaan (43:49):
but, but how cool to see what you've done, and
just, yeah, three years in andthat, you know you're not done.

Lori Ann (43:56):
I know I'm not done. I There is so much more. And I
it's I get downloads all thetime. I know what's coming.

Traci Kanaan (44:03):
It's just speaking of downloads, I wanted to
mention this book. Have you everheard of a book called Ask and
it is given?

Lori Ann (44:09):
Asking it is given. Huh? Okay.

Traci Kanaan (44:13):
Why I have this book right here? You can't

Lori Ann (44:18):
have it given.

Traci Kanaan (44:21):
Talk about downloads, so asking it is
given. And you'll love this booktoo, because it deals with
manifesting good stuff, yeah,and I learned about this before
I met Doug. I went on meetup,and I found a law of attraction
meeting, and we studied thisbook as the law of attraction,
okay, meeting, and then I meetDoug. And then I said, Doug's

(44:44):
like, where you going? I'm gonnago into this law of attraction
meeting. He goes, Can I go withyou? Sure. So we're both sitting
there. He goes, holy shit, Imanifested you. And I'm
thinking, oh my god, Imanifested Doug. So basically,
here's where the download partcomes in. It Esther and Jerry
Hicks. Esther is a mediumAbraham Hicks, yeah,

Lori Ann (45:09):
I know you're talking about, oh,
my god, yeah.

Traci Kanaan (45:13):
Abraham is like a collective

Lori Ann (45:15):
Yeah, I hear I watch their videos, all right. Anyhow,

Traci Kanaan (45:19):
this is the book that I wrote as a result of the
videos you watched. And I loveit because they have so they
have this emotional guidancescale. And so on the emotional
guidance scale, there's 22 toone. So 22 fear, grief,
depression, despair,powerlessness, and then it goes

(45:42):
to 21 insecurity, guilt andworthiness. 20 is jealousy, 19
is hatred and rage. 18 isrevenge. 17 is anger, 16 is
discouragement. 15 is blame, 14is worry, 13 is doubt, 12 is
disappointment. 11 isoverwhelming, 10 is frustration,

(46:03):
irritation, impatience, nine ispessimism, eight is boredom,
seven is contentment, six ishopefulness, five is optimism,
four is positive, expectation orbelief. Three is enthusiasm,
eagerness, happiness. Two ispassion. One is joy, knowledge,
empowerment, freedom, love,appreciation. All right, so I

(46:25):
read all those out because a lotof times when people come to me,
they're at 22 fear, grief,depression, and they're like,
Well, I want to be happy. I'mlike, too big a step. Yeah? You
know, you want to go. It's like,when you take steps, the most
you can take is about three at atime. Yeah, yeah. And that's
like a stretch, but if I can getyou from free fear to anger,

(46:50):
that's a step in the rightdirection, because you're moving
up. Yeah? And if I can get youin the next appointment from
anger to worry or doubt, hellyeah, we're still moving up. So
that's what I love about thisemotional guidance scale is very
cool. You have to just take it,

Lori Ann (47:05):
baby. When I was telling you about that spirit,
those spiritual downloads withthat we're coming through that
was so strong, they're like, No,that's too much. That's too
heavy right now, get up a littlebit.

Traci Kanaan (47:16):
But where this came from, Esther Hicks
downloaded this information fromAbraham, a spiritual collective,
and then she came up with theseprocesses so that if you want to
raise your vibration, you can doone of these processes yourself
up. And so, for instance, one ofthe processes, I'm just picking

(47:38):
it random, they have scripting.All right, you are feeling good
and want to add specifics towhat you are creating in your
life experience when you wantthe thrill of identifying and
writing down things you wouldlike to experience and then

(47:59):
seeing the universe deliver toyou the details you've
described. And so then it takesyou through the scripting
process and describes how to doit. It we offer to assist you in
telling the universe the way youwant it to be. So they give you
all these different processes sothat you can keep raising your

(48:21):
vibration. That's so cool. And Ithought of that because you
would relate to the downloads.You're also on a spiritual
journey. And this is a goodlittle tool

Lori Ann (48:32):
to have wonderful absolutely, I will guard it with
my life so

Traci Kanaan (48:36):
well, actually, I'll get you, I'll send you a
book. I want to keep that onebecause, but yes, I will make
sure that you get a copy ofthis. And then also, I'll even
put a link to the emotionalguidance scale and okay, and
then also a link to Esther andJerry Hicks. I don't receive any

(48:57):
money for recommending them, butI think it's a good anytime I
can recommend I watch them.

Lori Ann (49:02):
I watch her on YouTube. I heard she only they
don't put like sometimes herdiscussion is only 10 minutes
long, but it gets the gist, Iguess, and what she's trying to
get. So I do I like her, yes,and her a lot,

Traci Kanaan (49:13):
but I think that would be just a nice addition to
your library. Absolutely. Socool, cool, cool, awesome.
Anything else you'd like toshare

Lori Ann (49:25):
that's about it much more to say. Let's talk about
Larry, cat. Oh, what's up withLarry? He's fine, fat. He's
good. He's good. Okay, Larry. Ohmy gosh. Larry came here with
me. Okay, he was only about sixmonths old, when eight months
maybe something like that, whenwe left Ohio. So, yeah, he's

(49:46):
been here. He's lived with Jayfor a little bit, about a year,
and I was able to have my placein and take him back and spoil
Bratton. Nice. He's my buddy.

Traci Kanaan (49:56):
Very, very cool. And that's my head. Awesome.
Awesome. I was like goingthrough, is there anything?
Anything? No, this is just ahey, congratulations. The great
work. Thank

Lori Ann (50:07):
you. I'm doing my best. Keep on, keeping on,

Traci Kanaan (50:11):
just with the vape. Now's not the time, but
when you're ready, put it in thefreezer.

Lori Ann (50:20):
Only get it out when I really need it. So here's my
fear about that. I'm afraidbecause I know it's hand to
mouth. I know that's what it is.Yeah, and I gained weight when I
quit smoking, i gave eightpounds, but I lost them, so I'm
back to my smoking weight, Iguess you will say. But I'm
afraid that if I do get awayfrom the vape, then I'm going to

(50:41):
smoke more weed. And I don'twant to do that, oh, because
that's just, I, you know, wantthat just as a steady for, you
know, and we do that, I'm goingto gain 2530 pounds, because I'm
going to be, yeah, it's all inmy mouth

Traci Kanaan (50:56):
when you're ready. Um, let's, let's see what we can
do about the the weed and thevaping,

Lori Ann (51:01):
okay, I don't know if I can do the weed, though,
because that gives me anxiety.Just even thinking about not

Traci Kanaan (51:06):
having it for anxiety, the weed, yeah. Oh, so
just keeping it,

Lori Ann (51:09):
yeah, yeah. Because I, because I got it in Ohio,
because of the anxiety I thedoctor would put me on, oh, what
is that one pill that everyXanax? Okay, Xanax never did
shit for me. It did nothing forme. The only thing that actually
helped me calm down was weed.And that's what helped me when I

(51:30):
when I was done with the drugsthat, you know, the heroin and
that, I mean, I was on, we I theweed helped, you know, so, yeah,
but I would give up drinkingbefore I give up weed. I mean, I
just need it for the anxiety.

Traci Kanaan (51:45):
Lose. Yeah, no problem. You're on the right
path, though. I think the moreyou ground and the more

Lori Ann (51:52):
Yeah, because there's some days you do, there's some
days where it's like, I seemlike I'm smoking a lot, and then
there's other days where maybe Ionly hit twice. You know, I
don't need it. I don't havethat. I'm calm. And it's usually
these one by myself, I don'tneed it as much. Yeah,

Traci Kanaan (52:07):
yeah, perfect. So yeah, yeah. I think the more you
ground and the more meditationthat you do, I probably
eventually go away on its own.Yeah, if you're

Lori Ann (52:17):
and it helps when I sing, like if for open mic or
something, because you getnervous, smoke a little bit of
weed, and then you don't care.

Traci Kanaan (52:26):
Karaoke is just pure joy. Oh, just pure joy.
Because you just, you love it somuch. They got the little
karaoke tribe at Paradise, yeah,yeah.

Lori Ann (52:39):

Traci Kanaan (52:40):

Lori Ann (52:43):

good time.
