Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to the Nearly Enlightened podcast, your
high vibe toolbox for body,mind and spirit connection.
Today, I'm excited to dive intoa topic that invites us all to
align deeply with the rhythms ofnature, helping us find harmony
in our modern lives.
Welcome back, Jamie Rose Gray.
She is a soul purpose guide andbusiness coach, helping
conscious entrepreneurs, mamasand mystics get aligned with
(00:24):
their soul's purpose to make theworld a brighter place for
future generations.
Her wisdom weaves spiritualityand practicality, and today
she's here to help us explorethe true wheel of the year.
So this is something I've beenwanting to talk to you about.
You posted about it a littlebit, I think, like last week or
something, and we're coming upon quote unquote the end of the
(00:44):
year out.
You posted about it a littlebit, I think like last week or
something, and you know we'recoming up on quote unquote the
end of the year, but for many ofus in the spiritual community,
we know this to not be the endof the year.
This is like hibernation timeand, yeah, jamie's here to talk
about it.
Hi, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hi, I'm so glad to be back and also, did you see my
post today?
Because I literally postedabout it again today and forgot
that this was the topic fortoday.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
No, that's amazing.
Do you want to share a littlebit?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh, that's so great.
Yeah, this morning I just feltoverwhelmed to remind people
Like so many people feel sooverwhelmed and exhausted with
the holidays and like gifts andtraditions and going to all the
events and holiday parties, workparties, kid parties, school
things Right.
And I think secretly inside,everyone wants to actually focus
(01:35):
on themselves, especially us inthe soul biz world.
You know, there's like a littlebit of you.
It's like I really want to justkind of sit by candlelight and
journal out my year and like,yes, this is the time to
hibernate.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Like we go back and we look at what our ancestors
were doing.
They weren't partying in themiddle of winter time, they were
just trying to fucking surviveliterally.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And you know if they, when they were gathering around
the fire with no light outside,and that was their light.
They were gathering around thefire with no light outside and
that was their light.
They were gathering rightaround food, around the hearth,
around the fire, around thewarmth, to literally stay
together, to literally survive.
You know, it wasn't like go out, run around.
Now I'm saying this, I'm sureit's already triggering someone
(02:20):
who enjoys that hubble bubble,you know, and you want to go out
and you're festive anddecorative and all of those
things are beautiful.
I think the bigger picture I'mnot trying to pull apart those
aspects it's to remind everyonethat this is a beautiful time to
rest, to reflect and for thoseof us that are, like, maybe
(02:42):
really focused on with ourpassion, with our purpose, with
our mission, I think it's agreat time to look back and be
like what did I, what did?
Who did I become Like?
What did I do?
What happened this year?
And I don't think our societygives us that time.
It's a feminine quality.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Right, and it's always like, oh okay, so you
just finished up this.
What's next?
That's always the famousquestion.
It's a feminine quality, right?
And it's always like, oh okay,so you just finished up this.
What's next?
That's always the famousquestion what's next?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's the masculine energy.
What's next?
What's next?
New energy tomorrow, new sun,new sun, new sun.
Right, the feminine goes likehold up.
What has transpired?
Where did we go?
What did we do?
Who did we become?
And I did it the other night.
I could not sleep the othernight.
(03:30):
Oh my God, Whatever's going onenergetically?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, the full moon.
Yes, it was a very energeticfull moon.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I could not be there.
Gemini full moon, right, oh,that, yeah, that makes sense
Right, but I think there's likeother things I can't remember
off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, all of the astrology is kind of supporting
us and doing that look back,because we just finished up a
mercury retrograde and, like youknow, I'm not one of those
people who fear the mercuryretrograde my I'm gemini sun, so
ruled by mercury.
It's a time to reflect, it's atime to look back, it's a time
to say, okay, this is whatworked, this is what didn't work
, okay, how can we move forward,like I think that's where we
are energetically too, and Ithink this time of the year is
(04:12):
also supporting us in that it'slike okay, let's look back, like
, what worked, what didn't work,and, in the spring, where can
we put action to move forward.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Absolutely, and this is the time when the seed drops
in the.
I like to help people with thewheel of the womb, and then
there's the wheel of the year Ihelp with as a druid and also as
a high priestess and a wombpriestess and all that.
It's like north winter right.
That is associated with wherethe inspiration drops in.
(04:43):
It's that sky element, that airelement.
Let's say, for some it's notalways that there are different
directions and wheels withdifferent traditions, depending
on where you are in the world.
But I'm just saying let's say,for the wheel of the womb, air
is north, it's the ceiling ofthe womb.
(05:03):
That's our connection toinspiration, to creation itself,
to the ancestors, to the stars,man, and it's the dark winter
sky that allows that to drop in.
I'm not saying, if you live inCalifornia right now, that that
ain't it, but what I'm saying isjust like symbolically, yeah,
right, when there is moredarkness than light, that's when
(05:24):
the creation comes in.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I mean, even when you're living in those warmer
places, like I talked about thisall the time I lived in Arizona
, but even this time of yearit's you still get a little bit
more darkness and it's liketoday it's 41 degrees there.
So like you still like itdoesn't matter where you live If
you're in a differenthemisphere, like maybe that's
different because it'ssummertime right now, so maybe
(05:46):
that's like a little bitdifferent, but it's the same
thing, it's just flipped Right.
So, if you're in the Northernhemisphere, like, yeah, where it
doesn't matter where you live,if you live in a warmer place,
like you're still feeling thispullback of energy, this like
reflection time, this plantingnew seeds, like even if you talk
about it you talk about this alot and I've learned this from
(06:06):
you talking about goal settingas, like the seed planting, and
like this is the time when seedsare germinating, like they're
in the ground, they have to havethat frost, um, they have to
have the cold, damp, like darkatmosphere.
Environment that's the word Iwas looking for, thank you.
Environment, to be able to popthrough the soil in the
(06:31):
springtime and to grow and toflourish and to create fruit or
you know, whatever it's growinginto flower, whatever.
So like this is that time, likeembrace that it's, it's time to
nurture, Like I I don't knowabout you, but I just want to
like be cozy and like drink warmdrinks, and I don't feel the
(06:51):
energy.
Like I still want to be inconnection, be like celebrating,
but in a different way, likenot in a party way, like I don't
know, let's watch Christmasmovies and drink hot chocolate.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And it's okay to rest more, it's okay to sleep more.
Actually, let me say the wordsleep more.
I think a lot of people crap onthemselves when they want to
sleep more.
During this time I've alsonoticed this with my children
and my husband.
We kind of want to lay around,sleep more.
I don't in the winters.
Right now.
I'm not staying up later afterthe kids go to bed to work on my
stuff.
I'm falling asleep with thekids and I'm allowing us to
(07:27):
sleep in.
I just pulled Goldie out ofschool.
That's another conversation weneed to have on the couch.
Lol.
I pulled her out of school, notfor it.
We didn't even last two months.
Lol, I'm full steam ahead.
Wild school, nature school,homeschool, unschool, whatever
the hell category that is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Celebrate for this.
I think it's the way of thefuture.
I actually saw your post on itand I was like fuck yeah, that
feels right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I'm trying to be as, um, if nothing big happened,
nothing bad happened, it justvery quickly was not working out
for her and I came to lightabout that.
It came to light that shewasn't and they weren't really
telling me, um, and she wasbasically my little girl.
It's like shutting down inthere and I'm like, oh, the fuck
is she is by out, like I Isnapped her out of there and but
(08:14):
you know, I'll like, I guessthis I don't know what topic-
this is going into.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Spirit always guides these conversations and you know
whatever comes up is meant tobe meant to be heard what I did
was I.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I let myself and this will this will help someone on
the call today, maybe many I letmyself go to the other end of
the spectrum.
If I think I'm ready forsomething or I want to do
something, I'm pulled tosomething and then I'm curious
about that or I'm questioningthat.
Then I allow myself toslingshot over to the other side
.
For 15 years I had talked aboutwanting to like on school
nature school while schoolpeople thought I was crazy
(08:46):
talking about this.
I've got.
I got into fights with peopletalking about this a decade ago.
Now, look at the country, lookat the mass exit.
Now I'm just supported bymillions and millions and
millions of other families whoare doing the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But regardless, not to and not to go here, but like
look at what just happenedyesterday A fucking Christian
school getting literally shot upin Wisconsin.
Oh, it's like, oh yeah, oh yeah.
So it's like you're sendingyour babies to these places
where you think they're going tobe safe, and it's like, not,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, it's very, it's very.
This.
Maybe we let this be a wholenother podcast.
Oh, wow.
But very quickly I was like whyam I doing that?
Let me go back to that.
Like I had to allow myself.
I was questioning like, okay, Ihave a.
I have a three and a half yearold that maybe she does want
some more structured playtime.
Maybe she needs to go off andmake some friends, maybe she
(09:45):
needs to like you know, I kindof wanted her to have like her
own art time without her littlebrother interrupting all that.
So I was like, let's explore.
There's no harm in exploring,there's no harm in trying.
It was down the road weliterally walked to drop her off
.
It was the cutest thing.
This place is great.
Like this place is great.
I would recommend them.
But what I found out was is thatshe was literally just the
first the beginning of the weekevery week, crying oh, for
almost the entire, for me, Iwant to be home with my family,
I want to be with my family.
(10:06):
And I was like, oh my God.
And then I found out from theteacher that's how this was
going.
I'm like it's been two months.
Was anyone going to like tellme that you know, and then would
spend the first 90 minutes kindof like on her own, not
interacting with play and notconsidering these people friends
.
And I'm like right becausethey're on and we're forcing
(10:29):
them to all play friendstogether, but she's not really
getting along with that.
So, anyways, I'm sure an earlyeducation person could be
listening to me and being likewell, that's because of this and
that's so.
In that moment I was just like Itold the teachers I'm like you
know, I don't really want to, um, I don't want her to have a
negative imprint about school,right, and they agreed that I'm
like you know, we don't need todo that to her because we love
(10:49):
education, I love I'm a teacherLike.
I love educating, I loveworking with children, I love
working with adults, I lovewatching someone explore, I love
to be educated.
I'm a constant student, right.
So I got to connect to herteachers on that.
Mind you, I called it play care.
It wasn't, it wasn't school, itwas play care.
(11:10):
And it was like four hours a day, three days a week, it was like
the smallest amount that youcould give her, right, but it
wasn't working down and she wasshutting down and not connecting
and then like really wanting tobe home and then crying before
every day and I was like, nope,we're done, we to be home.
(11:31):
And then crying before everyday and I was like, nope, we're
done, we are done.
So where the hell did I go withthis?
But in that moment it gave methe permission slip to go, like
to accept that I have known whatshe's needed this whole time
anyway, because that kid thrivesin nature, thrives in a forest.
Her teachers were so surprisedto hear that when we go to wild
school she takes off with agroup of 50 children she doesn't
(11:53):
know and goes off and climbs aboulder following
seven-year-olds right Runningoff with a random kid she's
never met to go find rocks andsticks and throw them in the dam
, right.
So I'm providing her anenvironment where she can
actually thrive and grow fromthere and I'm excited for my
(12:13):
children and they're doing ittogether and I'm there and I'm
meeting, but I'm like I'm notfucking playing with them.
I'm like talking to moms, I'mdoing this.
They've got art activitieswhere you know, my two-year-old
at wild school goes in on hisown, goes and gets the seed
bucket and goes over withteacher and fills up bird seed
buckets and just goes and doesit, I don't know, just
(12:35):
initiating things on their own.
It's beautiful.
So I feel like the world, whatme and Jamie have have created,
the freedoms we've created withrunning our own businesses,
making our own money, creatingour own schedules.
It's almost like how could Inot follow this path?
Right, right, we've done it.
I am living a dream.
(12:57):
Talk about seeds, talk aboutdreams, visions.
This is what him and I weredreaming about 10 years ago,
five years ago, before kids,what right?
Like wondering if we would evenhave them.
And now, now it's here.
Like the vision is here, I getto wild school, nature school
with my littles, with theselittle mini humans that we've
(13:17):
made, and it is so much fun.
Honestly, I don't know who'smore excited about it, me or
them.
Like, my inner child is justlike so happy when, like, I get
the email, I'm like what are wedoing this week?
Winter ornaments with all thesecool things, cool Birdseed
garland oh, I signed them up fornature school for January.
(13:38):
Moving forward into winter, andit's like nutty squirrels learn
about the six different speciesof squirrels, tracking animals
in the snow, in their habitats,learning about winter
adaptations and habitats.
I'm like let's go.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
This is yes, and this is what you talk about all the
time, too, is like you can'tcreate the new paradigm.
Going backwards and those typesof four walls, kids in the same
four walls for eight hours aday like that is part of the
past, that is part of a failingsystem, that we are trying to,
(14:15):
as creators, like are trying tomove beyond to create that
better world.
So like, if we keep oh my God,I'm going to knock my microphone
over, I'm getting Italian handsare going If we keep going back
and trying to make these oldthings work, we're never going
to create the better things ofthe future.
(14:35):
Right Back to the wheel of theyear.
So, like, how can we?
The Gregorian calendar is not it?
They were not celebrating a newyear In the middle of dead
winter, when half of thepopulation would not survive.
Like you can't fucking convinceme.
There's something that I wasjust reading about that there's
(14:58):
actually a 13th zodiac.
Because there's there should be13 months of the year made up
of 28 days.
We're like in we're in thattime because Pisces when we go
to Pisces, that's the lastzodiac of the year, and then we
(15:21):
move into a new calendar.
Like that is the real start ofthe new year and I know for
people like us, like we havekind of been celebrating that
way where the spring equinox is-the real new year?
Yeah, totally.
That's what for people whoaren't familiar with the wheel
of the year, like I mean, a lotof different cultures originated
(15:41):
, but for you it has veryspecific meaning.
So just talk a little bit aboutthe wheel of the year and where
it originates and, okay, whatour timeline is really looking
like I want to go off thegregorian calendar thing real
quick too, because it wasliterally like a pope who
designed this shit like you knowwhat I mean, like this was like
literally, like a person juliuscaesar, and that's why we have
(16:02):
so many names after him, right,so okay.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think, to help expand our consciousness real
quick.
What's crazy to me about theGregorian calendar is that it
actually is limiting.
Yes, it was meant fororganization.
I understand that.
Right, it was meant to organize.
It was meant to put some orderinto what they considered chaos.
(16:26):
But I'm inviting everyone tothink about it not being a
12-month thing and a new yearstarting.
What would it feel like in yourbody to just see that it's a
spiral and that it's not ending?
So what I mean by that is it'snot a January to December thing.
(16:50):
It just keeps going.
Imagine if we pulled thatlimiting belief out of our mind,
out of our hearts.
Now, mind you, we very muchstill will operate by this
calendar like it's going nowhereanytime, right, right, like I'm
not saying we're not gonna justshift into a 13 month and we're
(17:12):
not shifting right into the 13moon calendar, which is exactly
perfectly 28 days, and blah,blah, blah.
We are here, guys, right, likethis is, this is very much still
reality.
But for anyone listening ourpeople, like you know I'll just
say our people, all the peoplethat will listen to your stuff
and the people that will listento my stuff.
It's like what would happen ifyou just saw it as like a
(17:34):
constant evolution, like.
So that's why I love the wheelof the year.
It still gives me organizationand it really helps me flow
naturally and cyclically where Iam standing on the planet and
what part of the planet is goingthrough what, what season, what
(17:57):
system, what energy, what vibe.
I obviously have Irishbackground, irish, scottish
background, so Celtic is my truenorth, that is in my blood and
bone.
And the Celtic you know it'scool, like the Celtic beliefs
and as a Druid like I've studiedthis like we have a lot of the
30,000 year old geocentricprinciples.
(18:19):
That means principles of theearth.
That means principles of theearth like I'm talking about,
like earth-based spiritualityand stuff like that really
mirrors the natives and thefirst peoples of this land back
to their like 30,000 year, right.
And when I've got to study bothof those and see the polarity,
like the parallel sorry, notpolarity parallels that it is
(18:45):
beautiful because I'm like, oh,I'm on this land, right, I'm on
this.
This is not my native land, butI can really respect it by
living like this, cyclicallywith the earth.
So the wheel of the year helpsus see the eight, see the eight
centered like it's centeredaround eight specific energies.
(19:07):
We know most of them, mostpeople, what the most popular
ones are summer solstice, right,and winter solstice, those are
on the opposite.
Just like the equinox, right.
Most people know those the fallequinox, the spring equinoxx,
(19:27):
they all have names.
But I really just want peopleto see this.
Those are like the crossquarter days, right.
What I think a lot of the fun,magical time is um is the cross
quarter days, is what somewitches call them.
Um is the in bulk, right.
In bulk is february.
That's what I actually consider.
(19:48):
Second right, that's what Iconsider my new year.
Oh, interesting, you know.
So, like the winter solsticecomes and we then start to write
that's the darkest of the day,right, but that's actually when
the light returns to.
But you have to sit with thedarkness before you can sense
(20:11):
the light.
So a lot of people just jumpinto like the light's turning.
It's like no, we are in thedarkness, honey, right, and we
got to sit with that and be withthat.
I think a lot of people hatethis time because they don't
like to sit with themselves.
They don't know how to sitquietly with themselves.
And I look at it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
It's very hard, it's so hard I mean it's the hardest
part of any kind of spiritualjourney is to learn how to
control the mind and deal withthose uncomfortable human
feelings and right.
That's like why a lot of peopledon't and and this time of year
is for that and, like mostpeople, I talk about this every
(20:52):
single year every single year, Isend out an email that, like,
basically says the same thing.
It's like your new year'sresolutions fail because this is
not the time, like, you cancreate the idea now, but sit
with that idea.
Sit with that idea in this darktime and figure out the
(21:13):
actionable steps that will makeyou successful.
Like you know, we both came froma Lululemon corporate world and
this is something we would talkabout a lot because we did a
lot of like 10 year vision andgoals.
And then you see that bigpicture of the 10 year vision
and goals and then how can youbreak it down into smaller,
smaller, manageable chunks sothat you can actually see that
(21:36):
goal come to fruition?
And I think that this is a veryimportant part of where we are
right now in.
In this time, it's like don'texpect your, your don't expect
to like, come up with this goaland then, january 1st, you hit
the ground running like that'snot gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You might not have energy for it till april.
Yeah, legit.
Also, people don't even want tobe seen until april, may, june
let me, I'll keep going with thewheel real quick, yeah, yeah,
who's hearing this?
Um, so, so we're.
This is perfect, because it'sabout to be winter solstice that
we're talking about this, right?
So this is like the return tothe darkness, right?
(22:13):
Um, and this is where the lightis born.
This is also where the idea oflike christ energy and the
return of the light, the returnof the sun energy, came from.
Um, we call it there's specificnames for it in Druidry I'm not
going to go into that now andconfuse anyone, but we literally
that's called like the light ofthe child is what it translates
to in Gaelic is like the returnof that.
(22:35):
And what I love about this iseach mark on the wheel of the
year.
I wish I should have taken apicture of mine.
That's like, literally, I haveit on my wall.
Jamie got one for me for mybirthday years ago and I get to
turn it.
It moves every six weeks.
I love that.
It's like a good amount of time.
It's not like the month and itgoes fast.
(22:55):
It's like every six weeks youknow another season is coming
and that is awesome.
Not another season, but a newshift in energy, a new mark on
the wheel, and the wheel turns.
Man, that's.
The whole point is to go ohshit, like what happened in the
last six weeks, oh, my God, awhole wheel has turned.
Now what did I do in the last12 months?
Okay, moving on.
(23:16):
Then we have in bulk.
In bulk is when it's thebeginning, spark, energy of
spring.
It's actually when the you wasborn, when the sheep, the baby
sheep, is born and milk startsflowing again.
It's the return of the milk.
The milk could feed the tribe.
So anyone who made it past thatmark was most likely going to
survive going into the next year.
(23:36):
So this was like this would bethe time when our sick would die
and those malnourished woulddie.
The wintertime was also the timewhere our older ancestors would
pull back and ration their foodso we could feed the young.
Like, if there was only so muchfood, it was our elders who
said don't give me as much, weneed to make sure the children
survive.
(23:57):
And this is like.
This is like sacrifice, energy.
You know what I mean.
This is like some real hardtruths and I think that's what
the winter brings for peopleSome cold ass, hard truths about
life on planet earth, right.
But if you do the work and youdo that excavating and you do
that exploring, that's what itis now.
We're not necessarily rationingin this part of the world,
(24:18):
unfortunately.
You know me, that's a wholenother podcast episode, lol,
that we could go into, but stickto the topic at hand.
You know it's it's more aboutlike doing that internal work
and that healing on thyselfwhile we're here.
So in bulk, really to me islike the new year.
That's what feels like the newyear to me.
It also aligns with the Chinesenew year.
Yes, yeah, lunar new year.
(24:39):
Yeah, lunar new year.
And there's also anothertradition I can't remember it, I
don't want to butcher it now.
There's another few other worldancient civilizations that
started around that time.
That is a great time to.
That's when the farmersactually start putting some
seeds and start really sowingtheir seeds and what's going in.
So it's like the dropping inthe seed, the milk is flowing,
calves are being bored and wecan start to butcher other older
(25:02):
livestock and feed tribe again,and yada, yada, yada.
Okay, your other olderlivestock and feed tribe again.
And yada, yada, yada.
Okay, then you have right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
then six weeks later it's spring equinox right,
that's when it's like okay,that's like that is go time baby
right, that's like the geek.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
For us here in the north it's like the return of
the geese, the canadian, likethe canadian geese and their
flight pathways.
That's when you start to knowlike I don't follow, like people
still follow, the friggin.
What's that little thing thathides?
A little hedgehog?
The little, oh yeah, thegroundhog what is it groundhog?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
yeah, groundhog, but ironically on in bulk like why,
why?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
why exactly right?
And I'm like just look up, justjust, just just look at the
birds and they'll tell youwhat's coming right.
So the thing about the wheel ofthe year also is like go
outside and and look around.
So in Druidry, uh, when they're, when people are getting into
Druidry, they say like a day ina year, sit in the same spot
outside in nature every day forone year and don't say anything.
(25:57):
Right, and it's this energy oflike look around.
All of the answers are there.
You will be able to realize.
It's not even about learningabout nature.
It's accepting your path onnature, that you are a part of
nature that you are a part offucking life.
Yes, so then you have spring, goahead.
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
No, I was going to say like well, I've talked about
it this all season.
Like we have separatedourselves from nature and like
we need to come back to the factthat we are nature, we are part
of nature, and like I really dobelieve that the the wheel of
the year kind of helps.
For me it's been.
I don't feel this immensepressure of like, oh, january is
coming, like what's this yearbringing?
(26:35):
It's like no, I get to sit withthis for a couple of weeks and
be like okay, what did this lastyear bring?
What do I want to see this nextyear bring?
Like what behaviors do I haveto change in order to make that
come to fruition?
And then, like you said inFebruary, like yeah, I'm
starting to feel a little bitmore goal oriented.
I might start like puttingthings to paper, so to speak, of
(26:57):
like okay, this is like what'scoming through, this is what I'm
feeling.
And then that spring equinoxcomes and I am in a groove, I'm
ready to move and shake.
I mean, this podcast literallyrelaunched the first week of
April.
There was a reason for that.
Like I took almost a year offto like go through my own dark
night of like the whatever 15th,one of my my life spoiler alert
(27:25):
Like those don't stop comingjust because you're spiritually
inclined, right.
But in that springtime Istarted to feel the energy of
like, okay, let's get back outthere, let's like make nearly
enlightened what it is and likethis year I've seen the biggest
numbers that I've seen sincestarting it and, like you know,
(27:46):
maybe that's because I'm goinginto the fifth year like
whatever it is, whatever youwant to attribute it to, but
like that the goal was behind it.
There was like energy behind it.
It was like the perfect timing.
And now I'm just flowing withit and you know, we'll see what
what next year brings.
But I'm right now, I am sittingwith that.
(28:07):
Okay, like this is what nearlyenlightened has, this what I've
accomplished, this is whatnearly enlightened has
accomplished this year.
How do we take that to the nextlevel?
How are we moving forward?
And I'm starting to just likereflect on that.
Now I'm not making any choices,I'm not making any goals, I'm
not putting any, but, like, inthe next couple of weeks, yeah,
I'm going to like start creatingthose actionable steps to to
(28:31):
take it to the next level.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yes, you should be in our.
I just announced that I'm doingmy annual soul mapping and
strategy session.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, talk about that, because that's the perfect
cause.
It coincides, it works with thewheel of the year, right, and
it's like.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
so what I love to do with this is I do it around
January for the people who arekind of like feeling that like
it's January but I don't do thenew year's resolution thing, but
like maybe they run a businessand it's a whole new quarter and
you know like kind of whatshould I do?
So actually the funny part isthat you brought up the Brian
(29:05):
Tracy stuff right.
So back when I worked atLululemon, I led people through
this big meditation but I endedup bringing them like into the
quantum by accident.
This was before I was likereally secure in my powers and I
was like, oh fuck, everyoneended up like 10 years in the
future in a visualization and Iwas like, oh my God, where did I
just bring everyone?
And since then that was 2013.
(29:26):
And since then I've just turnedit into my own thing and honed
it, but I still use the bat that.
So what I do is I lead peopleinto the field of potential and
you go to see yourself in a 10years of the future
visualization.
Um, it is led by your heart'sdesire.
So I teach you how to go deepinto your heart and let that be
(29:49):
the magnetic pull in the fieldof potential.
And then we go see and I dropyou down in a day in the life
then and you gather as muchinformation as you can.
You know visual sites, audio,who's there, what's going on,
what's this, what's that?
I walk you around, you kind ofsee what's up.
It's not really crazy Like.
(30:10):
Sometimes it's just like youbeing in your future house and
being like, oh shit, look at thelook at those athletes on the
wall.
Oh wow, I've got kids.
Oh fuck, you know like, oh, youknow little things like that
actually really add up.
And because it's your heart'sdesire and because of the field
of potential, it is a availabletimeline, it is some available
(30:32):
timeline that your higher selfwants you to see now.
Then we come out of thatmeditation.
We, you know, take a littlespace from each other for a
little bit, for a quick break,come back and hear some people's
, because if that's like one ofmy favorite parts is hearing
what people saw and what theyfelt and what they were became
privy to.
And then we do the Brian Tracy10 year goal backwards and that
(30:53):
really helps people go like okay, if I want that trajectory to
happen and show up, what am Igoing to need to do?
10 years, five years, one yearout, and then, with that, having
like again, actionable stepsand steps to take, it helps you
go like, okay, this is the vibefor the year and if I get this
sorted out within a year, Icould be on track for that two,
(31:14):
five years, six, eight, nine, 10goal.
What's interesting about this isI've been doing this for years
with people.
This shit shows up earlier whenyou see what's available for
you and you see the potential,and then you talk to someone
like me about it happening andthen you design out actionable
steps to take in love, in health, in wealth, in work, in
whatever the hell the categoriesare you.
(31:36):
It becomes more real and itbecomes more tangible and then
you can use your heart as amagnet to pull it towards you
and it wants to match you, itwants to meet you right and and
it can help it become strongerand that those magnets work
stronger together and that shitcan happen in two, four or five
years instead of 10.
(31:56):
It is powerful, right?
Um, I will say asterisks, Iwill say I will say just seeing
stuff.
Seeing stuff doesn't actuallymake it happen.
I think what you then see, whatwe like to do is make the path,
make the map.
But this is a hero's journey,y'all.
This is like, okay, I want that.
(32:19):
Right, You're most likely goingto have to go into the forest
and this and that, and you'regoing to have to climb this
mountain.
And this map I'm talking aboutis yourself.
You are going to face all yourshadows, right.
You are going to come againstevery obstacle, every block
that's living inside of you.
All of your fears, all of yourshit comes up, guys, and that's
(32:40):
why I'm here in the world.
I feel like I'm a guide.
I help people through this andI go from soul to strategy from
like I say I'm a guide, I helppeople through this and I go
from soul to strategy from likeI said, I'm a coach that covers
energy and systems.
You don't have to go for acoach over there for the
business stuff and a coach overthere for the spiritual shit.
You actually get that all withme in my containers, in my
masterminds, because, turns out,that's not separate either.
(33:03):
The fuck it is.
It is right is not separate andpeople are going to run
themselves crazy trying to getit in different places.
It's all connected.
I like to say you want to dothe most advanced self-help
journey ever.
Start a business, right, you?
It's a.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's a great joke right, I'm like, I'm laughing
because like, being anentrepreneur is like the
craziest and my dad was anentrepreneur and he would always
be like don't do it, don't doit, it's not for the faint of
heart.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
It is not.
You have to be kind of crazy,you have to be a little bit
delusional.
Yeah Right, and that's it.
That's it.
Like I actually I don't wantthe normal life.
I don't want to drop your kidsoff at school and go to work and
pay taxes and I'm like I'mfucking cool with that man.
I've got some brilliant thingsto do on the planet.
I've already done amazingthings for the planet and what
(33:54):
is coming for me is insane.
I am here to help build thisnew way.
Like I am an I'm an earthengineer.
I can't stop.
If I tried is where I'm atRight and I hope this is
activating to people.
That's what I do.
I'm an activator.
It's one of the things I do.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yes, I mean this podcast is activating, like
listen to any episode becauseyou're either going to feel
deeply motivated or you're goingto feel deeply triggered and
either way, like that's the work.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's the work, right, and we're like for anyone
who's hearing that and you'relike I am a black sheep.
Yes, look, get in with thesecommunities.
Realize that you are not alone.
A lot of us feel alone in ourwork environments and our family
environments.
You are not alone.
There are millions and millionsof us who are receiving
information and data andcreation and inspiration on a
(34:44):
regular basis and are beingcalled.
I talk about, like this in mything, my free training, called
by understanding your divinedesign of soul, purpose and your
blueprint for that Like shitthis is.
You're being called to dosomething.
This is not just some cute idea.
You are being some ideas comingto you to co-create with you.
It needs you, your energysignature, your unique vibration
(35:07):
to make the damn thing.
This is big.
A lot of us have sole purposeand our purpose isn't
necessarily what we have to doand what our job is.
It's what people get from youbeing in purpose and how that
affects the world around you.
That shit is deep, man.
I wrote a book about it, lol.
That's how serious I am aboutthis shit.
Right, I had to write a bookabout it and it isn't even done.
(35:29):
My god, maybe it'll be selfpublished this year?
I don't know.
But yeah, I could go on.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I mean, there are other books that tell us, like
the bible and the yoga sutras.
Both say like if you do thespiritual work, god is going to
bestow gifts on you and it isyour duty to share those gifts.
And if you don't share thosegifts like waste, you might as
well not be here, right?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It will also haunt you.
That's what I tell people thathe will Like.
If you have these things comingto you and bugging you and
nagging you, they'll haunt you.
Right.
If your calling is your calling, if it's true for you, we will
continue to call you until Ithink some people do need to
hear, and sometimes it leavesyou and goes and finds another
vessel.
Yeah, you create it on theplanet.
(36:15):
There was like something thisis a quick example that, like a
bunch of people around theplanet had the vision for the
sticky note and then someonefinally followed through on it
and made it and a bunch ofpeople were pissed about it.
That was my idea.
Bitch, bitch, you're across theworld.
Well then, you should have doneit.
You should have made it andsomeone and that has happened
with many inventions and manycreations around the world do it
or someone else is going to doit.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah absolutely, we covered a lot in a short amount
of time and I know you have togo, so we'll kind of wrap it up
a little bit.
But but just like one lastthing to just kind of wrap it
all up.
So this time of year we'recoming into the solstice you
will.
What would be your like?
(37:00):
One piece of advice if peopleare like, okay, if I'm not
supposed to set an intentionright now or a resolution, then
what the fuck should I be doing?
Like, what is this energy for?
Or how can we use this energyto better align to the wheel of
the year, to move forward, toget to that place where we're
creating our goals andresolutions?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, the thing that keeps coming up, whereas you're
saying that is just like.
I know this is going to soundbasic, but it's really going
within.
Find your truth, set upboundaries around that, right,
(37:43):
like I call it.
Like something like winter,like this.
It will help you touch the hotwire of your soul.
It's like like if that's avisual.
It's like you want to be ableto go so deep within yourself
that you align with your ownunique self here.
(38:09):
And that may sound simple, it'sactually the hardest thing to
do in a world where we are sopulled externally into the world
.
Social media, what's everyoneelse doing?
Oh, what's trendy, what's thisand that?
Like, oh, what's this and thisperson?
Do A good way to see where youare with this as a creator.
(38:31):
I'm talking to like creatorsand spiritual people too.
Like, if you need to go onsocial media to get inspiration,
that ain't it.
You get what I'm saying withthat, yeah, and we can all
inspire each other.
I'm not saying don't be inspiredby the people in your field
doing your thing.
What I'm saying is, if you needto fill up your energy tank and
not know what you're going todo for the day until you see
(38:52):
what other people are doing andthen use that you may want to
sit with yourself.
Another thing I said whenpeople were like what do I do I
get you know?
What do I post on social media,I say posting on social media
should not be the goal.
It should be aligning with thecreation that wants to come to
you and through you right nowand then, from overflow of that
of you aligning naturally, it'sa natural energetic charge.
(39:14):
When you do that, you know,like when you get behind
something that you're beingcalled to do and then you do it,
how much energy do you get?
Projector.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Oh my gosh, like so much.
And that's what this podcasthas been for me this year, and a
big theme of this year has beensit in observance and a big
part of my message.
I have a fucking meditationportal.
So if you want to go within, ifyou want to find that space,
that truth within yourself, tosit with yourself, if you need
(39:44):
help or guidance with that,that's literally how this all
this is how nearly enlightenedstarted and, like you said, it's
a really hard thing and for meit's been a hard sell because
people are like oh, I can'tmeditate I can't sit, I can't
relax.
It's like if you are one ofthose people, take a good look
at that, it is a problem.
It is a problem becauseobservance I mean you even said
(40:06):
it in this like to sit in thesame spot and observe nature
every single day for a year,like, yeah, there's.
There is incredible wisdom inbeing able to observe without
assigning any attachment,emotion or meaning, to just
observe who observe.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
All answers are there .
All of the answers you'relooking for are within and that
voice is really quiet at firstor you're having like universal
bitch slaps and it's time tofucking listen to that.
A lot of them it's like awhisper of your soul at first,
until you strengthen and trainit.
Like in my book, I talk aboutconnecting with the spirit of
your business.
(40:48):
It's like it's not about youbut it is.
You can get into counsel withthis thing that has come to you
and through you, do it every dayfor a year and then come find
me and tell me how that wentRight.
I also, like I talk as a Druid.
I talk a lot about going intonature for this.
Everywhere I live, I have like aprayer spot, right.
So right now it's like down bythe bay, um, praying at the spot
, whether I'm with my childrenor I'm walking my dog or I've
(41:10):
walked down there.
I go there pretty much everysingle day for the last four
years and I pray at that spot.
Um, and I listened to whatwants to come through, but I
also put my prayers into theocean there, Right, and I I have
my own energetic temples and uhlighthouses set up
energetically that are receivedfrom Europe up and down the
eastern seaboard.
Again, if you want to learn howto do that frequency work,
that's what I do.
(41:31):
But I teach people how to, likeyou know, like going to spaces
and places and get in with thegenius loci that's another word
we use in Druidry.
It's like learning about thelocal flora, fauna, the birds,
the animals, the land, the water, getting in and be part of that
web.
And going there and gettingquiet will blow your mind, man,
(41:54):
Damn what comes through.
So, even though it soundssimple, it is not to go within
to get quiet and to listenwhat's there.
Once you get used to it, don'tyou agree?
You can just like get into atap, into it.
It's like a stream of energy.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yes, and it does become easier.
And like everyone says thatabout everything.
But yeah, when you startsomething new, it's going to be
uncomfortable, you're not goingto be good at it, it's going to
feel like you have all of theseblocks to it.
But once you push past thosekind of self-limiting beliefs,
like yeah, it does become easier, it becomes a non-negotiable
(42:27):
part of the day.
It's like meditation doesn'thave to be this big production
thing either.
Like you could literally justsit for three minutes.
Three minutes, that's all ittakes.
Three minutes, everyone hasthree minutes.
Every person who's ever comeand told me like, oh, I don't
have the time to meditate?
It's like, oh well, what wasyour screen time last week?
Right, right, you actually dohave time.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, oh my God, on, and on, on, and on.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And one last question to wrap it up before I let you
go.
So we're coming up on thesolstice and you all, what is
your like favorite ritual to dothis time of year for this like
section of the the wheel?
Speaker 2 (43:08):
of the year.
This is a great question, lol,before kids.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Oh, before kids we used to do.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
We used to gather in your kitchen.
I right, it was like gatheringsand hanging out and cooking and
pots of food and candles andbeing outside with groups of
women and making wreaths and allthat.
And now I have children and,yes, I'm one of those people who
(43:37):
would just admit, like thingschange, all right, and you know
it's like but, but, like, lookhow excited I get Now I get to
invite my children into thisRight.
So now it's going to be moreceremony with them and bringing
them out into nature.
Like, look, my kids can alreadyidentify moss.
They're two and three.
They can crow like a, they canliterally call like a crow.
(43:57):
They can identify moss, theyunderstand birds, they
understand like these kids cango.
So I'm like, you know, justlike inviting them into it.
I kind of even want to do theold school thing, you know, when
you would go get pine cones andput, oh yes, Make the little
bird feeders.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I used to love doing that.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
See, right, it's like I know I did, too, like little
things like that with them, andalso we keep light dark in the
wind, like we.
I'm not, I'm likeneurodivergent, so overhead
lights are not the way for meregardless, I need plugins.
But it's like we keep a lot oflights up, we get cozy in the
home, so I might have like somenature crafts and stuff with
(44:35):
them.
We also I started sourdough, soI'm making and baking with them
more.
Um, my kids the two-year-oldreally likes to cook.
I let him sit, stand at thestove.
It sounds crazy, but that's theway our ancestors did it.
You want to learn?
You can come learn.
Uh, goldie likes to bake.
Um, so I'm like it's going toinvolve them.
It's not going to involvefriends and stuff this time, but
my grandparents will be hereand it's their grandparents, um,
(44:59):
so we might have some sort oflike cooking nature thing, you
know.
So I don't know if that answersyour question, but that's just
the season I'm in, right, now isthat's how I feel too.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
It's like a time to it.
Yes, these parties and like allthe celebration are great, but
like being cozy in the home andspending time with family.
I have a big, crazy Italianfamily and we're literally all
going to Florida to spend thistime together.
We actually all get in on thesolstice, Like so we're all like
(45:33):
coming in at different times onFriday and it's just going to
be like the same thing, likeeating nourishing food, just
spending like real quality timetogether.
Food, just spending like realquality time together and it can
be that simple.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yes, and food, right.
Some people will get involvedwith their candles, like making
a gorgeous wreath, mind you alsolike obviously safety, but like
wreaths, like making wreathswith stuff outside is really
cool.
There are mad videos and blogson how to do those things.
If you add candles to them,obviously, be careful.
(46:12):
Yeah, they're like I would justsay like that, inviting over
people who really nourish yoursoul.
Like how many times did we dothis and get together?
I was like it was freezing out,but I had like a curry pot on
or something, Right.
Or we were making like likeright now, we're big into stews
and beef stews and briskets andstuff like that.
(46:33):
We just brought that to ourclients that we love.
He just like had a heart attackrecently and he's lost all this
weight.
I'm like no, we are fatteninghim up and we made like all this
beef and stews and this andthat and dropped it off.
Like that to me, is worth morethan any fucking gift we could
have dropped.
Yeah, I agree, and I thinkthat's like the original is like
who's coming into this wintertogether?
(46:55):
How can we all keep each otheralive, right?
How can we work together as acommunity and team and I think,
when you like, turn it back ontothat.
And also for me now I'm liketeaching my kids about the wheel
of the year and turning thewheel of the year.
They're at that age where wecan start playing with that, and
I teach them about prayeranyway and their auras and all
that, but now they're going tostart learning the wheel of the
(47:17):
year.
I mean, let's be real, theyalready know it.
They are part of nature.
I'm going to try not to justbrainwash it out of them.
Right, exactly, that's it.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I'm going to try not to just brainwash it out of them
, right, exactly, that's it.
They get it.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Like they get it.
We are learning about winterand you know what my kids want
to be out in the season all thetime.
We have wild school.
Tomorrow we have to put snowpants on.
It's going to be that cold.
We're fucking going and we'remaking all these winter
ornaments Like that's our wintersolst.

Welcome back to the Nearly Enlightened podcast, your
high vibe toolbox for body,mind and spirit connection.
Today, I'm excited to dive intoa topic that invites us all to
align deeply with the rhythms ofnature, helping us find harmony
in our modern lives.
Welcome back, Jamie Rose Gray.
She is a soul purpose guide andbusiness coach, helping
conscious entrepreneurs, mamasand mystics get aligned with
(00:24):
their soul's purpose to make theworld a brighter place for
future generations.
Her wisdom weaves spiritualityand practicality, and today
she's here to help us explorethe true wheel of the year.
So this is something I've beenwanting to talk to you about.
You posted about it a littlebit, I think, like last week or
something, and we're coming upon quote unquote the end of the
(00:44):
year out.
You posted about it a littlebit, I think like last week or
something, and you know we'recoming up on quote unquote the
end of the year, but for many ofus in the spiritual community,
we know this to not be the endof the year.
This is like hibernation timeand, yeah, jamie's here to talk
about it.
Hi, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hi, I'm so glad to be back and also, did you see my
post today?
Because I literally postedabout it again today and forgot
that this was the topic fortoday.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
No, that's amazing.
Do you want to share a littlebit?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh, that's so great.
Yeah, this morning I just feltoverwhelmed to remind people
Like so many people feel sooverwhelmed and exhausted with
the holidays and like gifts andtraditions and going to all the
events and holiday parties, workparties, kid parties, school
things Right.
And I think secretly inside,everyone wants to actually focus
(01:35):
on themselves, especially us inthe soul biz world.
You know, there's like a littlebit of you.
It's like I really want to justkind of sit by candlelight and
journal out my year and like,yes, this is the time to
hibernate.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Like we go back and we look at what our ancestors
were doing.
They weren't partying in themiddle of winter time, they were
just trying to fucking surviveliterally.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And you know if they, when they were gathering around
the fire with no light outside,and that was their light.
They were gathering around thefire with no light outside and
that was their light.
They were gathering rightaround food, around the hearth,
around the fire, around thewarmth, to literally stay
together, to literally survive.
You know, it wasn't like go out, run around.
Now I'm saying this, I'm sureit's already triggering someone
(02:20):
who enjoys that hubble bubble,you know, and you want to go out
and you're festive anddecorative and all of those
things are beautiful.
I think the bigger picture I'mnot trying to pull apart those
aspects it's to remind everyonethat this is a beautiful time to
rest, to reflect and for thoseof us that are, like, maybe
(02:42):
really focused on with ourpassion, with our purpose, with
our mission, I think it's agreat time to look back and be
like what did I, what did?
Who did I become Like?
What did I do?
What happened this year?
And I don't think our societygives us that time.
It's a feminine quality.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Right, and it's always like, oh okay, so you
just finished up this.
What's next?
That's always the famousquestion.
It's a feminine quality, right?
And it's always like, oh okay,so you just finished up this.
What's next?
That's always the famousquestion what's next?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's the masculine energy.
What's next?
What's next?
New energy tomorrow, new sun,new sun, new sun.
Right, the feminine goes likehold up.
What has transpired?
Where did we go?
What did we do?
Who did we become?
And I did it the other night.
I could not sleep the othernight.
(03:30):
Oh my God, Whatever's going onenergetically?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, the full moon.
Yes, it was a very energeticfull moon.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I could not be there.
Gemini full moon, right, oh,that, yeah, that makes sense
Right, but I think there's likeother things I can't remember
off the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, all of the astrology is kind of supporting
us and doing that look back,because we just finished up a
mercury retrograde and, like youknow, I'm not one of those
people who fear the mercuryretrograde my I'm gemini sun, so
ruled by mercury.
It's a time to reflect, it's atime to look back, it's a time
to say, okay, this is whatworked, this is what didn't work
, okay, how can we move forward,like I think that's where we
are energetically too, and Ithink this time of the year is
(04:12):
also supporting us in that it'slike okay, let's look back, like
, what worked, what didn't work,and, in the spring, where can
we put action to move forward.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Absolutely, and this is the time when the seed drops
in the.
I like to help people with thewheel of the womb, and then
there's the wheel of the year Ihelp with as a druid and also as
a high priestess and a wombpriestess and all that.
It's like north winter right.
That is associated with wherethe inspiration drops in.
(04:43):
It's that sky element, that airelement.
Let's say, for some it's notalways that there are different
directions and wheels withdifferent traditions, depending
on where you are in the world.
But I'm just saying let's say,for the wheel of the womb, air
is north, it's the ceiling ofthe womb.
(05:03):
That's our connection toinspiration, to creation itself,
to the ancestors, to the stars,man, and it's the dark winter
sky that allows that to drop in.
I'm not saying, if you live inCalifornia right now, that that
ain't it, but what I'm saying isjust like symbolically, yeah,
right, when there is moredarkness than light, that's when
(05:24):
the creation comes in.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I mean, even when you're living in those warmer
places, like I talked about thisall the time I lived in Arizona
, but even this time of yearit's you still get a little bit
more darkness and it's liketoday it's 41 degrees there.
So like you still like itdoesn't matter where you live If
you're in a differenthemisphere, like maybe that's
different because it'ssummertime right now, so maybe
(05:46):
that's like a little bitdifferent, but it's the same
thing, it's just flipped Right.
So, if you're in the Northernhemisphere, like, yeah, where it
doesn't matter where you live,if you live in a warmer place,
like you're still feeling thispullback of energy, this like
reflection time, this plantingnew seeds, like even if you talk
about it you talk about this alot and I've learned this from
(06:06):
you talking about goal settingas, like the seed planting, and
like this is the time when seedsare germinating, like they're
in the ground, they have to havethat frost, um, they have to
have the cold, damp, like darkatmosphere.
Environment that's the word Iwas looking for, thank you.
Environment, to be able to popthrough the soil in the
(06:31):
springtime and to grow and toflourish and to create fruit or
you know, whatever it's growinginto flower, whatever.
So like this is that time, likeembrace that it's, it's time to
nurture, Like I I don't knowabout you, but I just want to
like be cozy and like drink warmdrinks, and I don't feel the
(06:51):
energy.
Like I still want to be inconnection, be like celebrating,
but in a different way, likenot in a party way, like I don't
know, let's watch Christmasmovies and drink hot chocolate.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And it's okay to rest more, it's okay to sleep more.
Actually, let me say the wordsleep more.
I think a lot of people crap onthemselves when they want to
sleep more.
During this time I've alsonoticed this with my children
and my husband.
We kind of want to lay around,sleep more.
I don't in the winters.
Right now.
I'm not staying up later afterthe kids go to bed to work on my
stuff.
I'm falling asleep with thekids and I'm allowing us to
(07:27):
sleep in.
I just pulled Goldie out ofschool.
That's another conversation weneed to have on the couch.
Lol.
I pulled her out of school, notfor it.
We didn't even last two months.
Lol, I'm full steam ahead.
Wild school, nature school,homeschool, unschool, whatever
the hell category that is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Celebrate for this.
I think it's the way of thefuture.
I actually saw your post on itand I was like fuck yeah, that
feels right.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I'm trying to be as, um, if nothing big happened,
nothing bad happened, it justvery quickly was not working out
for her and I came to lightabout that.
It came to light that shewasn't and they weren't really
telling me, um, and she wasbasically my little girl.
It's like shutting down inthere and I'm like, oh, the fuck
is she is by out, like I Isnapped her out of there and but
(08:14):
you know, I'll like, I guessthis I don't know what topic-
this is going into.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Spirit always guides these conversations and you know
whatever comes up is meant tobe meant to be heard what I did
was I.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I let myself and this will this will help someone on
the call today, maybe many I letmyself go to the other end of
the spectrum.
If I think I'm ready forsomething or I want to do
something, I'm pulled tosomething and then I'm curious
about that or I'm questioningthat.
Then I allow myself toslingshot over to the other side
.
For 15 years I had talked aboutwanting to like on school
nature school while schoolpeople thought I was crazy
(08:46):
talking about this.
I've got.
I got into fights with peopletalking about this a decade ago.
Now, look at the country, lookat the mass exit.
Now I'm just supported bymillions and millions and
millions of other families whoare doing the same thing.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But regardless, not to and not to go here, but like
look at what just happenedyesterday A fucking Christian
school getting literally shot upin Wisconsin.
Oh, it's like, oh yeah, oh yeah.
So it's like you're sendingyour babies to these places
where you think they're going tobe safe, and it's like, not,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, it's very, it's very.
This.
Maybe we let this be a wholenother podcast.
Oh, wow.
But very quickly I was like whyam I doing that?
Let me go back to that.
Like I had to allow myself.
I was questioning like, okay, Ihave a.
I have a three and a half yearold that maybe she does want
some more structured playtime.
Maybe she needs to go off andmake some friends, maybe she
(09:45):
needs to like you know, I kindof wanted her to have like her
own art time without her littlebrother interrupting all that.
So I was like, let's explore.
There's no harm in exploring,there's no harm in trying.
It was down the road weliterally walked to drop her off
.
It was the cutest thing.
This place is great.
Like this place is great.
I would recommend them.
But what I found out was is thatshe was literally just the
first the beginning of the weekevery week, crying oh, for
almost the entire, for me, Iwant to be home with my family,
I want to be with my family.
(10:06):
And I was like, oh my God.
And then I found out from theteacher that's how this was
going.
I'm like it's been two months.
Was anyone going to like tellme that you know, and then would
spend the first 90 minutes kindof like on her own, not
interacting with play and notconsidering these people friends
.
And I'm like right becausethey're on and we're forcing
(10:29):
them to all play friendstogether, but she's not really
getting along with that.
So, anyways, I'm sure an earlyeducation person could be
listening to me and being likewell, that's because of this and
that's so.
In that moment I was just like Itold the teachers I'm like you
know, I don't really want to, um, I don't want her to have a
negative imprint about school,right, and they agreed that I'm
like you know, we don't need todo that to her because we love
(10:49):
education, I love I'm a teacherLike.
I love educating, I loveworking with children, I love
working with adults, I lovewatching someone explore, I love
to be educated.
I'm a constant student, right.
So I got to connect to herteachers on that.
Mind you, I called it play care.
It wasn't, it wasn't school, itwas play care.
(11:10):
And it was like four hours a day, three days a week, it was like
the smallest amount that youcould give her, right, but it
wasn't working down and she wasshutting down and not connecting
and then like really wanting tobe home and then crying before
every day and I was like, nope,we're done, we to be home.
(11:31):
And then crying before everyday and I was like, nope, we're
done, we are done.
So where the hell did I go withthis?
But in that moment it gave methe permission slip to go, like
to accept that I have known whatshe's needed this whole time
anyway, because that kid thrivesin nature, thrives in a forest.
Her teachers were so surprisedto hear that when we go to wild
school she takes off with agroup of 50 children she doesn't
(11:53):
know and goes off and climbs aboulder following
seven-year-olds right Runningoff with a random kid she's
never met to go find rocks andsticks and throw them in the dam
, right.
So I'm providing her anenvironment where she can
actually thrive and grow fromthere and I'm excited for my
(12:13):
children and they're doing ittogether and I'm there and I'm
meeting, but I'm like I'm notfucking playing with them.
I'm like talking to moms, I'mdoing this.
They've got art activitieswhere you know, my two-year-old
at wild school goes in on hisown, goes and gets the seed
bucket and goes over withteacher and fills up bird seed
buckets and just goes and doesit, I don't know, just
(12:35):
initiating things on their own.
It's beautiful.
So I feel like the world, whatme and Jamie have have created,
the freedoms we've created withrunning our own businesses,
making our own money, creatingour own schedules.
It's almost like how could Inot follow this path?
Right, right, we've done it.
I am living a dream.
(12:57):
Talk about seeds, talk aboutdreams, visions.
This is what him and I weredreaming about 10 years ago,
five years ago, before kids,what right?
Like wondering if we would evenhave them.
And now, now it's here.
Like the vision is here, I getto wild school, nature school
with my littles, with theselittle mini humans that we've
(13:17):
made, and it is so much fun.
Honestly, I don't know who'smore excited about it, me or
them.
Like, my inner child is justlike so happy when, like, I get
the email, I'm like what are wedoing this week?
Winter ornaments with all thesecool things, cool Birdseed
garland oh, I signed them up fornature school for January.
(13:38):
Moving forward into winter, andit's like nutty squirrels learn
about the six different speciesof squirrels, tracking animals
in the snow, in their habitats,learning about winter
adaptations and habitats.
I'm like let's go.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
This is yes, and this is what you talk about all the
time, too, is like you can'tcreate the new paradigm.
Going backwards and those typesof four walls, kids in the same
four walls for eight hours aday like that is part of the
past, that is part of a failingsystem, that we are trying to,
(14:15):
as creators, like are trying tomove beyond to create that
better world.
So like, if we keep oh my God,I'm going to knock my microphone
over, I'm getting Italian handsare going If we keep going back
and trying to make these oldthings work, we're never going
to create the better things ofthe future.
(14:35):
Right Back to the wheel of theyear.
So, like, how can we?
The Gregorian calendar is not it?
They were not celebrating a newyear In the middle of dead
winter, when half of thepopulation would not survive.
Like you can't fucking convinceme.
There's something that I wasjust reading about that there's
(14:58):
actually a 13th zodiac.
Because there's there should be13 months of the year made up
of 28 days.
We're like in we're in thattime because Pisces when we go
to Pisces, that's the lastzodiac of the year, and then we
(15:21):
move into a new calendar.
Like that is the real start ofthe new year and I know for
people like us, like we havekind of been celebrating that
way where the spring equinox is-the real new year?
Yeah, totally.
That's what for people whoaren't familiar with the wheel
of the year, like I mean, a lotof different cultures originated
(15:41):
, but for you it has veryspecific meaning.
So just talk a little bit aboutthe wheel of the year and where
it originates and, okay, whatour timeline is really looking
like I want to go off thegregorian calendar thing real
quick too, because it wasliterally like a pope who
designed this shit like you knowwhat I mean, like this was like
literally, like a person juliuscaesar, and that's why we have
(16:02):
so many names after him, right,so okay.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think, to help expand our consciousness real
quick.
What's crazy to me about theGregorian calendar is that it
actually is limiting.
Yes, it was meant fororganization.
I understand that.
Right, it was meant to organize.
It was meant to put some orderinto what they considered chaos.
(16:26):
But I'm inviting everyone tothink about it not being a
12-month thing and a new yearstarting.
What would it feel like in yourbody to just see that it's a
spiral and that it's not ending?
So what I mean by that is it'snot a January to December thing.
(16:50):
It just keeps going.
Imagine if we pulled thatlimiting belief out of our mind,
out of our hearts.
Now, mind you, we very muchstill will operate by this
calendar like it's going nowhereanytime, right, right, like I'm
not saying we're not gonna justshift into a 13 month and we're
(17:12):
not shifting right into the 13moon calendar, which is exactly
perfectly 28 days, and blah,blah, blah.
We are here, guys, right, likethis is, this is very much still
reality.
But for anyone listening ourpeople, like you know I'll just
say our people, all the peoplethat will listen to your stuff
and the people that will listento my stuff.
It's like what would happen ifyou just saw it as like a
(17:34):
constant evolution, like.
So that's why I love the wheelof the year.
It still gives me organizationand it really helps me flow
naturally and cyclically where Iam standing on the planet and
what part of the planet is goingthrough what, what season, what
(17:57):
system, what energy, what vibe.
I obviously have Irishbackground, irish, scottish
background, so Celtic is my truenorth, that is in my blood and
bone.
And the Celtic you know it'scool, like the Celtic beliefs
and as a Druid like I've studiedthis like we have a lot of the
30,000 year old geocentricprinciples.
(18:19):
That means principles of theearth.
That means principles of theearth like I'm talking about,
like earth-based spiritualityand stuff like that really
mirrors the natives and thefirst peoples of this land back
to their like 30,000 year, right.
And when I've got to study bothof those and see the polarity,
like the parallel sorry, notpolarity parallels that it is
(18:45):
beautiful because I'm like, oh,I'm on this land, right, I'm on
this.
This is not my native land, butI can really respect it by
living like this, cyclicallywith the earth.
So the wheel of the year helpsus see the eight, see the eight
centered like it's centeredaround eight specific energies.
(19:07):
We know most of them, mostpeople, what the most popular
ones are summer solstice, right,and winter solstice, those are
on the opposite.
Just like the equinox, right.
Most people know those the fallequinox, the spring equinoxx,
(19:27):
they all have names.
But I really just want peopleto see this.
Those are like the crossquarter days, right.
What I think a lot of the fun,magical time is um is the cross
quarter days, is what somewitches call them.
Um is the in bulk, right.
In bulk is february.
That's what I actually consider.
(19:48):
Second right, that's what Iconsider my new year.
Oh, interesting, you know.
So, like the winter solsticecomes and we then start to write
that's the darkest of the day,right, but that's actually when
the light returns to.
But you have to sit with thedarkness before you can sense
(20:11):
the light.
So a lot of people just jumpinto like the light's turning.
It's like no, we are in thedarkness, honey, right, and we
got to sit with that and be withthat.
I think a lot of people hatethis time because they don't
like to sit with themselves.
They don't know how to sitquietly with themselves.
And I look at it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
It's very hard, it's so hard I mean it's the hardest
part of any kind of spiritualjourney is to learn how to
control the mind and deal withthose uncomfortable human
feelings and right.
That's like why a lot of peopledon't and and this time of year
is for that and, like mostpeople, I talk about this every
(20:52):
single year every single year, Isend out an email that, like,
basically says the same thing.
It's like your new year'sresolutions fail because this is
not the time, like, you cancreate the idea now, but sit
with that idea.
Sit with that idea in this darktime and figure out the
(21:13):
actionable steps that will makeyou successful.
Like you know, we both came froma Lululemon corporate world and
this is something we would talkabout a lot because we did a
lot of like 10 year vision andgoals.
And then you see that bigpicture of the 10 year vision
and goals and then how can youbreak it down into smaller,
smaller, manageable chunks sothat you can actually see that
(21:36):
goal come to fruition?
And I think that this is a veryimportant part of where we are
right now in.
In this time, it's like don'texpect your, your don't expect
to like, come up with this goaland then, january 1st, you hit
the ground running like that'snot gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You might not have energy for it till april.
Yeah, legit.
Also, people don't even want tobe seen until april, may, june
let me, I'll keep going with thewheel real quick, yeah, yeah,
who's hearing this?
Um, so, so we're.
This is perfect, because it'sabout to be winter solstice that
we're talking about this, right?
So this is like the return tothe darkness, right?
(22:13):
Um, and this is where the lightis born.
This is also where the idea oflike christ energy and the
return of the light, the returnof the sun energy, came from.
Um, we call it there's specificnames for it in Druidry I'm not
going to go into that now andconfuse anyone, but we literally
that's called like the light ofthe child is what it translates
to in Gaelic is like the returnof that.
(22:35):
And what I love about this iseach mark on the wheel of the
year.
I wish I should have taken apicture of mine.
That's like, literally, I haveit on my wall.
Jamie got one for me for mybirthday years ago and I get to
turn it.
It moves every six weeks.
I love that.
It's like a good amount of time.
It's not like the month and itgoes fast.
(22:55):
It's like every six weeks youknow another season is coming
and that is awesome.
Not another season, but a newshift in energy, a new mark on
the wheel, and the wheel turns.
Man, that's.
The whole point is to go ohshit, like what happened in the
last six weeks, oh, my God, awhole wheel has turned.
Now what did I do in the last12 months?
Okay, moving on.
(23:16):
Then we have in bulk.
In bulk is when it's thebeginning, spark, energy of
spring.
It's actually when the you wasborn, when the sheep, the baby
sheep, is born and milk startsflowing again.
It's the return of the milk.
The milk could feed the tribe.
So anyone who made it past thatmark was most likely going to
survive going into the next year.
(23:36):
So this was like this would bethe time when our sick would die
and those malnourished woulddie.
The wintertime was also the timewhere our older ancestors would
pull back and ration their foodso we could feed the young.
Like, if there was only so muchfood, it was our elders who
said don't give me as much, weneed to make sure the children
survive.
(23:57):
And this is like.
This is like sacrifice, energy.
You know what I mean.
This is like some real hardtruths and I think that's what
the winter brings for peopleSome cold ass, hard truths about
life on planet earth, right.
But if you do the work and youdo that excavating and you do
that exploring, that's what itis now.
We're not necessarily rationingin this part of the world,
(24:18):
unfortunately.
You know me, that's a wholenother podcast episode, lol,
that we could go into, but stickto the topic at hand.
You know it's it's more aboutlike doing that internal work
and that healing on thyselfwhile we're here.
So in bulk, really to me islike the new year.
That's what feels like the newyear to me.
It also aligns with the Chinesenew year.
Yes, yeah, lunar new year.
(24:39):
Yeah, lunar new year.
And there's also anothertradition I can't remember it, I
don't want to butcher it now.
There's another few other worldancient civilizations that
started around that time.
That is a great time to.
That's when the farmersactually start putting some
seeds and start really sowingtheir seeds and what's going in.
So it's like the dropping inthe seed, the milk is flowing,
calves are being bored and wecan start to butcher other older
(25:02):
livestock and feed tribe again,and yada, yada, yada.
Okay, your other olderlivestock and feed tribe again.
And yada, yada, yada.
Okay, then you have right.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
then six weeks later it's spring equinox right,
that's when it's like okay,that's like that is go time baby
right, that's like the geek.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
For us here in the north it's like the return of
the geese, the canadian, likethe canadian geese and their
flight pathways.
That's when you start to knowlike I don't follow, like people
still follow, the friggin.
What's that little thing thathides?
A little hedgehog?
The little, oh yeah, thegroundhog what is it groundhog?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
yeah, groundhog, but ironically on in bulk like why,
why?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
why exactly right?
And I'm like just look up, justjust, just just look at the
birds and they'll tell youwhat's coming right.
So the thing about the wheel ofthe year also is like go
outside and and look around.
So in Druidry, uh, when they're, when people are getting into
Druidry, they say like a day ina year, sit in the same spot
outside in nature every day forone year and don't say anything.
(25:57):
Right, and it's this energy oflike look around.
All of the answers are there.
You will be able to realize.
It's not even about learningabout nature.
It's accepting your path onnature, that you are a part of
nature that you are a part offucking life.
Yes, so then you have spring, goahead.
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
No, I was going to say like well, I've talked about
it this all season.
Like we have separatedourselves from nature and like
we need to come back to the factthat we are nature, we are part
of nature, and like I really dobelieve that the the wheel of
the year kind of helps.
For me it's been.
I don't feel this immensepressure of like, oh, january is
coming, like what's this yearbringing?
(26:35):
It's like no, I get to sit withthis for a couple of weeks and
be like okay, what did this lastyear bring?
What do I want to see this nextyear bring?
Like what behaviors do I haveto change in order to make that
come to fruition?
And then, like you said inFebruary, like yeah, I'm
starting to feel a little bitmore goal oriented.
I might start like puttingthings to paper, so to speak, of
(26:57):
like okay, this is like what'scoming through, this is what I'm
feeling.
And then that spring equinoxcomes and I am in a groove, I'm
ready to move and shake.
I mean, this podcast literallyrelaunched the first week of
April.
There was a reason for that.
Like I took almost a year offto like go through my own dark
night of like the whatever 15th,one of my my life spoiler alert
(27:25):
Like those don't stop comingjust because you're spiritually
inclined, right.
But in that springtime Istarted to feel the energy of
like, okay, let's get back outthere, let's like make nearly
enlightened what it is and likethis year I've seen the biggest
numbers that I've seen sincestarting it and, like you know,
(27:46):
maybe that's because I'm goinginto the fifth year like
whatever it is, whatever youwant to attribute it to, but
like that the goal was behind it.
There was like energy behind it.
It was like the perfect timing.
And now I'm just flowing withit and you know, we'll see what
what next year brings.
But I'm right now, I am sittingwith that.
(28:07):
Okay, like this is what nearlyenlightened has, this what I've
accomplished, this is whatnearly enlightened has
accomplished this year.
How do we take that to the nextlevel?
How are we moving forward?
And I'm starting to just likereflect on that.
Now I'm not making any choices,I'm not making any goals, I'm
not putting any, but, like, inthe next couple of weeks, yeah,
I'm going to like start creatingthose actionable steps to to
(28:31):
take it to the next level.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yes, you should be in our.
I just announced that I'm doingmy annual soul mapping and
strategy session.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, talk about that, because that's the perfect
cause.
It coincides, it works with thewheel of the year, right, and
it's like.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
so what I love to do with this is I do it around
January for the people who arekind of like feeling that like
it's January but I don't do thenew year's resolution thing, but
like maybe they run a businessand it's a whole new quarter and
you know like kind of whatshould I do?
So actually the funny part isthat you brought up the Brian
(29:05):
Tracy stuff right.
So back when I worked atLululemon, I led people through
this big meditation but I endedup bringing them like into the
quantum by accident.
This was before I was likereally secure in my powers and I
was like, oh fuck, everyoneended up like 10 years in the
future in a visualization and Iwas like, oh my God, where did I
just bring everyone?
And since then that was 2013.
(29:26):
And since then I've just turnedit into my own thing and honed
it, but I still use the bat that.
So what I do is I lead peopleinto the field of potential and
you go to see yourself in a 10years of the future
visualization.
Um, it is led by your heart'sdesire.
So I teach you how to go deepinto your heart and let that be
(29:49):
the magnetic pull in the fieldof potential.
And then we go see and I dropyou down in a day in the life
then and you gather as muchinformation as you can.
You know visual sites, audio,who's there, what's going on,
what's this, what's that?
I walk you around, you kind ofsee what's up.
It's not really crazy Like.
(30:10):
Sometimes it's just like youbeing in your future house and
being like, oh shit, look at thelook at those athletes on the
wall.
Oh wow, I've got kids.
Oh fuck, you know like, oh, youknow little things like that
actually really add up.
And because it's your heart'sdesire and because of the field
of potential, it is a availabletimeline, it is some available
(30:32):
timeline that your higher selfwants you to see now.
Then we come out of thatmeditation.
We, you know, take a littlespace from each other for a
little bit, for a quick break,come back and hear some people's
, because if that's like one ofmy favorite parts is hearing
what people saw and what theyfelt and what they were became
privy to.
And then we do the Brian Tracy10 year goal backwards and that
(30:53):
really helps people go like okay, if I want that trajectory to
happen and show up, what am Igoing to need to do?
10 years, five years, one yearout, and then, with that, having
like again, actionable stepsand steps to take, it helps you
go like, okay, this is the vibefor the year and if I get this
sorted out within a year, Icould be on track for that two,
(31:14):
five years, six, eight, nine, 10goal.
What's interesting about this isI've been doing this for years
with people.
This shit shows up earlier whenyou see what's available for
you and you see the potential,and then you talk to someone
like me about it happening andthen you design out actionable
steps to take in love, in health, in wealth, in work, in
whatever the hell the categoriesare you.
(31:36):
It becomes more real and itbecomes more tangible and then
you can use your heart as amagnet to pull it towards you
and it wants to match you, itwants to meet you right and and
it can help it become strongerand that those magnets work
stronger together and that shitcan happen in two, four or five
years instead of 10.
(31:56):
It is powerful, right?
Um, I will say asterisks, Iwill say I will say just seeing
stuff.
Seeing stuff doesn't actuallymake it happen.
I think what you then see, whatwe like to do is make the path,
make the map.
But this is a hero's journey,y'all.
This is like, okay, I want that.
(32:19):
Right, You're most likely goingto have to go into the forest
and this and that, and you'regoing to have to climb this
mountain.
And this map I'm talking aboutis yourself.
You are going to face all yourshadows, right.
You are going to come againstevery obstacle, every block
that's living inside of you.
All of your fears, all of yourshit comes up, guys, and that's
(32:40):
why I'm here in the world.
I feel like I'm a guide.
I help people through this andI go from soul to strategy from
like I say I'm a guide, I helppeople through this and I go
from soul to strategy from likeI said, I'm a coach that covers
energy and systems.
You don't have to go for acoach over there for the
business stuff and a coach overthere for the spiritual shit.
You actually get that all withme in my containers, in my
masterminds, because, turns out,that's not separate either.
(33:03):
The fuck it is.
It is right is not separate andpeople are going to run
themselves crazy trying to getit in different places.
It's all connected.
I like to say you want to dothe most advanced self-help
journey ever.
Start a business, right, you?
It's a.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's a great joke right, I'm like, I'm laughing
because like, being anentrepreneur is like the
craziest and my dad was anentrepreneur and he would always
be like don't do it, don't doit, it's not for the faint of
heart.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
It is not.
You have to be kind of crazy,you have to be a little bit
delusional.
Yeah Right, and that's it.
That's it.
Like I actually I don't wantthe normal life.
I don't want to drop your kidsoff at school and go to work and
pay taxes and I'm like I'mfucking cool with that man.
I've got some brilliant thingsto do on the planet.
I've already done amazingthings for the planet and what
(33:54):
is coming for me is insane.
I am here to help build thisnew way.
Like I am an I'm an earthengineer.
I can't stop.
If I tried is where I'm atRight and I hope this is
activating to people.
That's what I do.
I'm an activator.
It's one of the things I do.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yes, I mean this podcast is activating, like
listen to any episode becauseyou're either going to feel
deeply motivated or you're goingto feel deeply triggered and
either way, like that's the work.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's the work, right, and we're like for anyone
who's hearing that and you'relike I am a black sheep.
Yes, look, get in with thesecommunities.
Realize that you are not alone.
A lot of us feel alone in ourwork environments and our family
environments.
You are not alone.
There are millions and millionsof us who are receiving
information and data andcreation and inspiration on a
(34:44):
regular basis and are beingcalled.
I talk about, like this in mything, my free training, called
by understanding your divinedesign of soul, purpose and your
blueprint for that Like shitthis is.
You're being called to dosomething.
This is not just some cute idea.
You are being some ideas comingto you to co-create with you.
It needs you, your energysignature, your unique vibration
(35:07):
to make the damn thing.
This is big.
A lot of us have sole purposeand our purpose isn't
necessarily what we have to doand what our job is.
It's what people get from youbeing in purpose and how that
affects the world around you.
That shit is deep, man.
I wrote a book about it, lol.
That's how serious I am aboutthis shit.
Right, I had to write a bookabout it and it isn't even done.
(35:29):
My god, maybe it'll be selfpublished this year?
I don't know.
But yeah, I could go on.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I mean, there are other books that tell us, like
the bible and the yoga sutras.
Both say like if you do thespiritual work, god is going to
bestow gifts on you and it isyour duty to share those gifts.
And if you don't share thosegifts like waste, you might as
well not be here, right?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It will also haunt you.
That's what I tell people thathe will Like.
If you have these things comingto you and bugging you and
nagging you, they'll haunt you.
Right.
If your calling is your calling, if it's true for you, we will
continue to call you until Ithink some people do need to
hear, and sometimes it leavesyou and goes and finds another
vessel.
Yeah, you create it on theplanet.
(36:15):
There was like something thisis a quick example that, like a
bunch of people around theplanet had the vision for the
sticky note and then someonefinally followed through on it
and made it and a bunch ofpeople were pissed about it.
That was my idea.
Bitch, bitch, you're across theworld.
Well then, you should have doneit.
You should have made it andsomeone and that has happened
with many inventions and manycreations around the world do it
or someone else is going to doit.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah absolutely, we covered a lot in a short amount
of time and I know you have togo, so we'll kind of wrap it up
a little bit.
But but just like one lastthing to just kind of wrap it
all up.
So this time of year we'recoming into the solstice you
will.
What would be your like?
(37:00):
One piece of advice if peopleare like, okay, if I'm not
supposed to set an intentionright now or a resolution, then
what the fuck should I be doing?
Like, what is this energy for?
Or how can we use this energyto better align to the wheel of
the year, to move forward, toget to that place where we're
creating our goals andresolutions?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, the thing that keeps coming up, whereas you're
saying that is just like.
I know this is going to soundbasic, but it's really going
within.
Find your truth, set upboundaries around that, right,
(37:43):
like I call it.
Like something like winter,like this.
It will help you touch the hotwire of your soul.
It's like like if that's avisual.
It's like you want to be ableto go so deep within yourself
that you align with your ownunique self here.
(38:09):
And that may sound simple, it'sactually the hardest thing to
do in a world where we are sopulled externally into the world
.
Social media, what's everyoneelse doing?
Oh, what's trendy, what's thisand that?
Like, oh, what's this and thisperson?
Do A good way to see where youare with this as a creator.
(38:31):
I'm talking to like creatorsand spiritual people too.
Like, if you need to go onsocial media to get inspiration,
that ain't it.
You get what I'm saying withthat, yeah, and we can all
inspire each other.
I'm not saying don't be inspiredby the people in your field
doing your thing.
What I'm saying is, if you needto fill up your energy tank and
not know what you're going todo for the day until you see
(38:52):
what other people are doing andthen use that you may want to
sit with yourself.
Another thing I said whenpeople were like what do I do I
get you know?
What do I post on social media,I say posting on social media
should not be the goal.
It should be aligning with thecreation that wants to come to
you and through you right nowand then, from overflow of that
of you aligning naturally, it'sa natural energetic charge.
(39:14):
When you do that, you know,like when you get behind
something that you're beingcalled to do and then you do it,
how much energy do you get?
Projector.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Oh my gosh, like so much.
And that's what this podcasthas been for me this year, and a
big theme of this year has beensit in observance and a big
part of my message.
I have a fucking meditationportal.
So if you want to go within, ifyou want to find that space,
that truth within yourself, tosit with yourself, if you need
(39:44):
help or guidance with that,that's literally how this all
this is how nearly enlightenedstarted and, like you said, it's
a really hard thing and for meit's been a hard sell because
people are like oh, I can'tmeditate I can't sit, I can't
relax.
It's like if you are one ofthose people, take a good look
at that, it is a problem.
It is a problem becauseobservance I mean you even said
(40:06):
it in this like to sit in thesame spot and observe nature
every single day for a year,like, yeah, there's.
There is incredible wisdom inbeing able to observe without
assigning any attachment,emotion or meaning, to just
observe who observe.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
All answers are there .
All of the answers you'relooking for are within and that
voice is really quiet at firstor you're having like universal
bitch slaps and it's time tofucking listen to that.
A lot of them it's like awhisper of your soul at first,
until you strengthen and trainit.
Like in my book, I talk aboutconnecting with the spirit of
your business.
(40:48):
It's like it's not about youbut it is.
You can get into counsel withthis thing that has come to you
and through you, do it every dayfor a year and then come find
me and tell me how that wentRight.
I also, like I talk as a Druid.
I talk a lot about going intonature for this.
Everywhere I live, I have like aprayer spot, right.
So right now it's like down bythe bay, um, praying at the spot
, whether I'm with my childrenor I'm walking my dog or I've
(41:10):
walked down there.
I go there pretty much everysingle day for the last four
years and I pray at that spot.
Um, and I listened to whatwants to come through, but I
also put my prayers into theocean there, Right, and I I have
my own energetic temples and uhlighthouses set up
energetically that are receivedfrom Europe up and down the
eastern seaboard.
Again, if you want to learn howto do that frequency work,
that's what I do.
(41:31):
But I teach people how to, likeyou know, like going to spaces
and places and get in with thegenius loci that's another word
we use in Druidry.
It's like learning about thelocal flora, fauna, the birds,
the animals, the land, the water, getting in and be part of that
web.
And going there and gettingquiet will blow your mind, man,
(41:54):
Damn what comes through.
So, even though it soundssimple, it is not to go within
to get quiet and to listenwhat's there.
Once you get used to it, don'tyou agree?
You can just like get into atap, into it.
It's like a stream of energy.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yes, and it does become easier.
And like everyone says thatabout everything.
But yeah, when you startsomething new, it's going to be
uncomfortable, you're not goingto be good at it, it's going to
feel like you have all of theseblocks to it.
But once you push past thosekind of self-limiting beliefs,
like yeah, it does become easier, it becomes a non-negotiable
(42:27):
part of the day.
It's like meditation doesn'thave to be this big production
thing either.
Like you could literally justsit for three minutes.
Three minutes, that's all ittakes.
Three minutes, everyone hasthree minutes.
Every person who's ever comeand told me like, oh, I don't
have the time to meditate?
It's like, oh well, what wasyour screen time last week?
Right, right, you actually dohave time.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, oh my God, on, and on, on, and on.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And one last question to wrap it up before I let you
go.
So we're coming up on thesolstice and you all, what is
your like favorite ritual to dothis time of year for this like
section of the the wheel?
Speaker 2 (43:08):
of the year.
This is a great question, lol,before kids.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Oh, before kids we used to do.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
We used to gather in your kitchen.
I right, it was like gatheringsand hanging out and cooking and
pots of food and candles andbeing outside with groups of
women and making wreaths and allthat.
And now I have children and,yes, I'm one of those people who
(43:37):
would just admit, like thingschange, all right, and you know
it's like but, but, like, lookhow excited I get Now I get to
invite my children into thisRight.
So now it's going to be moreceremony with them and bringing
them out into nature.
Like, look, my kids can alreadyidentify moss.
They're two and three.
They can crow like a, they canliterally call like a crow.
(43:57):
They can identify moss, theyunderstand birds, they
understand like these kids cango.
So I'm like, you know, justlike inviting them into it.
I kind of even want to do theold school thing, you know, when
you would go get pine cones andput, oh yes, Make the little
bird feeders.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I used to love doing that.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
See, right, it's like I know I did, too, like little
things like that with them, andalso we keep light dark in the
wind, like we.
I'm not, I'm likeneurodivergent, so overhead
lights are not the way for meregardless, I need plugins.
But it's like we keep a lot oflights up, we get cozy in the
home, so I might have like somenature crafts and stuff with
(44:35):
them.
We also I started sourdough, soI'm making and baking with them
more.
Um, my kids the two-year-oldreally likes to cook.
I let him sit, stand at thestove.
It sounds crazy, but that's theway our ancestors did it.
You want to learn?
You can come learn.
Uh, goldie likes to bake.
Um, so I'm like it's going toinvolve them.
It's not going to involvefriends and stuff this time, but
my grandparents will be hereand it's their grandparents, um,
(44:59):
so we might have some sort oflike cooking nature thing, you
know.
So I don't know if that answersyour question, but that's just
the season I'm in, right, now isthat's how I feel too.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
It's like a time to it.
Yes, these parties and like allthe celebration are great, but
like being cozy in the home andspending time with family.
I have a big, crazy Italianfamily and we're literally all
going to Florida to spend thistime together.
We actually all get in on thesolstice, Like so we're all like
(45:33):
coming in at different times onFriday and it's just going to
be like the same thing, likeeating nourishing food, just
spending like real quality timetogether.
Food, just spending like realquality time together and it can
be that simple.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yes, and food, right.
Some people will get involvedwith their candles, like making
a gorgeous wreath, mind you alsolike obviously safety, but like
wreaths, like making wreathswith stuff outside is really
cool.
There are mad videos and blogson how to do those things.
If you add candles to them,obviously, be careful.
(46:12):
Yeah, they're like I would justsay like that, inviting over
people who really nourish yoursoul.
Like how many times did we dothis and get together?
I was like it was freezing out,but I had like a curry pot on
or something, Right.
Or we were making like likeright now, we're big into stews
and beef stews and briskets andstuff like that.
(46:33):
We just brought that to ourclients that we love.
He just like had a heart attackrecently and he's lost all this
weight.
I'm like no, we are fatteninghim up and we made like all this
beef and stews and this andthat and dropped it off.
Like that to me, is worth morethan any fucking gift we could
have dropped.
Yeah, I agree, and I thinkthat's like the original is like
who's coming into this wintertogether?
(46:55):
How can we all keep each otheralive, right?
How can we work together as acommunity and team and I think,
when you like, turn it back ontothat.
And also for me now I'm liketeaching my kids about the wheel
of the year and turning thewheel of the year.
They're at that age where wecan start playing with that, and
I teach them about prayeranyway and their auras and all
that, but now they're going tostart learning the wheel of the
(47:17):
year.
I mean, let's be real, theyalready know it.
They are part of nature.
I'm going to try not to justbrainwash it out of them.
Right, exactly, that's it.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I'm going to try not to just brainwash it out of them
, right, exactly, that's it.
They get it.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Like they get it.
We are learning about winterand you know what my kids want
to be out in the season all thetime.
We have wild school.
Tomorrow we have to put snowpants on.
It's going to be that cold.
We're fucking going and we'remaking all these winter
ornaments Like that's our wintersolst.
