Halfway Through the 9 Year: 5 Questions to Align & Take Charge

We’re officially halfway through this powerful 9 Universal Year—so what does that mean for your soul, your energy, and your next steps?

In this mid-year check-in, I’m sharing 5 soulful, intuitive questions to help you reflect on what’s shifting within you, what’s asking to be released, and how to prepare for what’s quietly unfolding.

Whether you’ve been actively working with the energy of this 9 year or just sensing big internal shifts, this episode will help you:

✅ Recognize subtle forms of resistance (and what they’re trying to teach you)
 ✅ Gently acknowledge hidden grief or emotional closure you may still need
 ✅ Identify energetic, emotional, or physical clutter blocking your clarity
 ✅ Retire outdated roles or identities you’ve outgrown
 ✅ Begin laying the spiritual groundwork for your next aligned chapter

💡 This isn’t about rushing toward the next thing. It’s about honoring what’s ready to shift—and consciously aligning with what truly matters.

So whether you’re journaling, walking, folding laundry, or simply taking a breath… let these questions walk with you through the rest of your summer.

(00:44):
Hey, beautiful soul, welcomeback, or welcome in for another
episode of spirit speakeasy.
This week, we are gonna bechecking in with something
really special. As you mighthave realized, we are about
halfway through the year, so Ireally want to go in and do a
check in. Since we are halfwaythrough this nine year, I want
to share five questions to alignand take charge. If you missed

(01:08):
that episode towards the end oflast year where we did the nine
themes for the nine year, whichis 2025, you're going to want to
go check out that episode. Iwill link it in the show notes.
We're not going to go back overthe nine themes, but since we
are officially halfway throughthis powerful, nine universal
year in today's episode, we'regoing to do a mid year soul

(01:31):
check in. So whether you've beenconsciously working with the
energy of this nine year or not,you might be feeling it. Some of
the things you might be feelingare this inner pull to release
what no longer fits, somewhispers of something new
stirring just beneath thesurface. You might be feeling
the anxiety or excitement of abrewing change. You might be

(01:55):
aware of tension between holdingon and letting go, whether it's
collectively or in your ownpersonal life. My intention for
today's episode is this mid yearsoul check in to offer you five
powerful questions to considerthat you can reflect on walk
with or gently explore throughthe rest of your summer. For

(02:18):
those of you in the northernhemisphere, or during your
winter, for our friends in thesouthern hemisphere and in
Australia. Hello, guys. Thesefive questions are in alignment
with the nine themes of the nineyear, and will realign you with
tuning into what's shifting inyour inner world. So you don't
waste this moment, because whilethe nine year of 2025 may be a

(02:40):
year of endings, it's also atime of sacred preparation. So
whether you're journaling in thequiet or folding laundry or
walking through the zoo withyour family, let these questions
meet you where you are andevaluate them kind of as you
move throughout your day. Thenine year is such a powerful and

(03:01):
incredible energy. And I knowthat we always go through the
themes of the year, sort of endof year, beginning of year, but
I really wanted to take thisopportunity to kind of expand on
that work of just knowing whatthe themes are and really
getting aware in this next halfof this nine year, and looking
at these five questions so wecan really continue to align,

(03:24):
fine tune and set thatfoundation so that we're ready
for the one year. So this firstquestion that I want to share
is, what are you resisting in anine year? Resistance can feel
especially loud. Have you? Haveyou been feeling this, that
inner friction, whether it'sabout letting go or grieving,

(03:46):
accepting a truth or simplytaking that next step?
Resistance is often your soul'ssignal that something wants to
shift, but you may be clinging,pausing, postponing or
pretending that it is not timeyet we can get into this as
humans, right in a nine year,resistance often marks the exact

(04:10):
threshold where your growth istrying to happen. Think of it as
like this threshold of yourcomfort zone, perhaps, and that
resistance is what we need tojust step over into this next
place. You may find yourselfhesitating rather than moving
forward. You may find yourselfavoiding the thing you know deep

(04:32):
down is calling for yourattention. That's just part of
our human nature. So what isresistance really? Resistance
can be sneaky. It doesn't alwayslook like a firm no or a hard
pass. Often it shows up in wayswe don't immediately recognize.
Here are some examples,procrastination. It can be a way

(04:55):
that sneaky way that resistance.
Distance shows up. You guysknow, I love my sneaky ways. Can
show up as perfectionism likewell, if I'm not gonna get it
perfect or do my 100% I'm notgonna do it at all. I've heard
that recently in my office,actually, it can show up as
feeling foggy or scattered orsuddenly exhausted. It can show

(05:18):
up as staying busy witheverything except that thing
that we know we're quote,unquote supposed to be doing or
looking at or moving forward.
For some resistance shows up asover researching, but never
acting, not taking action. Ican't even tell you how many
research tabs I have open at anygiven moment. Sometimes it's
because of resistance that I'mresisting actually taking

(05:40):
action, it can show up asirritability or frustration
towards the very task or personthat we secretly care about.
Have you ever had that happen,or you're feeling irritated, but
it's really just you resisting.
Have you ever had it show up assaying I'm fine when something

(06:01):
inside is clearly not fine.
Maybe we're resisting looking atsomething, talking about
something, engaging in somethingthat can happen. Resistance can
even look like ignoring redflags or proverbial fires in our
lives, or maybe it's ignoringphysical signs or symptoms from
your body or from your emotions.

(06:24):
For you, there's lots of waysthat resistance can show up.
Some of them don't look likethey directly connect, but they
do emotionally. Resistance oftenarises when there's something we
know we need to feel or shift orgrieve or accept or release, but
it feels uncomfortable or maybeinconvenient or even sometimes

(06:47):
too vulnerable to face rightnow. And we often throw that
little caveat on the end, rightnow, I'm gonna get to it, just
not yet. It's not time yet,right? No, not gonna face that
right now. Energetically,resistance can feel like
dragging your feet through themud while you're trying to move
forward. Maybe you and one partof you, you think, yeah, I'm
going to move forward. This ismy goal. This is what I'm doing.

(07:10):
But then these other things, toomuch research, suddenly tired,
feeling symptoms from your body,and you're not realizing, Oh,
I'm resisting moving forward onthis thing in this area and this
project. Often we resist whatfeels uncomfortable, but that
discomfort is that doorway torelease or to realign. Sometimes

(07:34):
we resist because we sense whata big shift this will create.
Did you ever have somethingthat, like, you really know in
your heart of hearts is the bestchoice for you, but you know
that as soon as you commit tothat or make that choice, that
it's gonna really just open awhole can of worms. And we're

(07:55):
not sure how things are gonnaplay out. Like it's, you know,
it's going to be a big shift,and you're not sure, like,
what's going to come on theother side, or what kind of a
mess this is going to create,even though, you know, in your
heart of hearts, it is the bestchoice for you, the nine energy.
It doesn't rush you, but it doeskeep kind of circling back to

(08:16):
whatever needs resolution. Sopay particular attention to any
themes or like reoccurringpoints that you've been
experiencing already in this sixmonths, and certainly as we
continue to move forward,because it does kind of keep
circling back, nudging youtowards release or clarity or
peace, or sometimes even justbeing honest with ourselves, we

(08:39):
can kind of look at this from aspiritual angle too. Sometimes
resistance is like a sacredstall. It's your system
protecting you from somethingthat you're maybe not ready to
fully face. But other times,it's a subtle fear of what's on
the other side of that change,maybe more responsibility, more

(08:59):
visibility, or just the unknown.
I think a lot of us have, atleast part of us that sometimes
naturally resist change or wantsto oppose what we feel like we
need to do. Have you ever feltlike that? Okay, so here are
some additional prompts withthis question of, what are you
resisting to kind of help getyour thoughts, your energy
stirring around this. Whatdecision or conversation Have

(09:22):
you been avoiding even thoughyou know it's time, let's get in
there, guys, let's like, nittygritty, right? Because sometimes
we can be like, I'm not, I'm notresisting anything. I'm I'm
moving forward, right? I'mfloating along. But what
decision or conversation Haveyou been avoiding even though
you know it's time. What emotionor truth Have you been kind of

(09:43):
skimming across the surface ofhoping that it'll just go away?
You ever do that, if there'slike, an emotion or truth or
something that you're like, haverealized about a person or a
situation and you're like, I'mjust gonna keep keep this
surfacey and maybe this will goaway? Kind of. Look at those
things. You could also look atthis question of, is there a
version of you that you'reafraid to step into, because it

(10:07):
means letting go of who you'vebeen in the past that can be
scary. Change can be scary. Ican tell you that what I do the
weekly readings, if you guysdon't know, I do weekly readings
every week, if you're on my freeemail list, you get them sent to
you in your email box. They'realso posted on my website,
joyful medium.com, in the blogsection, and they're on the

(10:29):
social media platforms,Instagram, Facebook, usually
Tiktok and YouTube. So you canfind those weekly readings
there. But anytime somethingcomes up about change, I get so
many messages of discomfort frompeople of fear. So is there
something that you know thatyou're being called towards, but
you are kind of afraid to stepinto it, or afraid to look at

(10:51):
it, because it means shiftingwho you've been or the way
things have been, right?
Sometimes the thing you'reresisting the most is the very
thing that will unlock that deeppeace or clarity or your next
aligned step. But it doesn'tmean that you have to force it.
It means it's time to stoppretending that you don't know

(11:14):
what it is. So you don'tnecessarily have to like even if
you acknowledge it, make allthese great changes in in one
week, but sometimes the firststep is just acknowledging right
that okay, I'm not going topretend I don't know what this
is. I'm not going to pretend Idon't know what's happening here
or I'm not feeling what I'mfeeling. Because often we can

(11:34):
pretend we're not feeling whatwe're feeling right just sweep
it under the proverbial rug orshove it down. We all know
that's not great for us. So I'mgonna give you kind of a mini
exercise if you want it, and I'mgonna try to give one for each
of these five questions. But thequestion itself is just, what
are you resisting? And then youcan go as deep into these as you
want, through your season,right? Summer season or winter

(11:58):
season. So this mini exercise, Ijust wanna pause and write down
these things. The truth I'vebeen resisting is,
that's a big one, right? Thetruth I've been resisting is, I
think we all, we all have someno matter what area of our life
they're in. The next prompt herefor this mini exercise. What
scares me about accepting thisis, so once you've the truth

(12:21):
I've been resisting. What scaresme about accepting this is and
then the next, last one is whatI know deep inside is. So just
to start getting that truthstirring within you, just to
start getting yourself, withinyourself, to acknowledge what
you actually know is true. Thetruth I've been resisting is

(12:43):
what scares me about acceptingthis is what I know deep inside
is journal these, if it feelssupportive, or you can even just
kind of hold the questions likegentle friends companions in the
back of your mind, and maybeyou're like me, and you like to
use the notes section of yourphone, kind of see what bubbles
up to your awareness when you'reholding these in the back of

(13:06):
your mind, or when you'rethinking about them, and you can
let these kind of questions orthoughts or musings travel with
you this summer, maybe whileyou're walking through the zoo
with your family. We have abeautiful zoo here, and I know
lots of people do where you are,so maybe just as you're kind of
spending family days, you canstart thinking about, yeah, what
is what am I resisting here?
What am I resisting? Maybe it'swhile you're taking a summer

(13:27):
drive with the windows down, orsitting by the water and just
dipping your toes in, maybeyou're folding laundry and
you're kind of perusing throughthese questions in your mind,
just let the answers rise whenthey're ready they always do,
and this reflection doesn'trequire immediate action, so

(13:47):
don't be nervous. Justacknowledgement can begin the
shift. And again, we're wantingto take advantage of this nine
year energy and just be honestwith ourselves, resistance is
almost like wearing a pair ofshoes that like used to fit but
now give you blisters, but youkeep walking, even though every
step feels uncomfortable, andyou're just trying to pretend

(14:09):
these are your favorite shoesand you love them, and you don't
notice the discomfort. Or maybeit's like skipping a software
update because you're afraidthat it'll mess up your system.
I've definitely been guilty ofthis a lot, and meanwhile,
everything is like running slowand glitchy and but you're still
resisting this update, right?

(14:29):
Because you don't want it tochange anything. Okay? So that's
that first question. What areyou resisting? Question number
two, what grief or closure needsto be witnessed now, it's been a
hell of a year already, andwe're only as I'm recording this
in the middle of June, so Ithink this is a tough question,

(14:52):
but something that we need tokeep working on as we move
through this nine year just tobetter set us up as we continue
to do. Grow and expand andchange. So what grief or closure
needs to be witnessed this nineyear is a natural time of
endings, cycles one to ninethrough the numerology of the
years. But not all endings comewith clear closure. Have you

(15:14):
ever had that where somethingjust kind of ends and there's
not a real point of closure?
Some losses can remainunacknowledged, not because we
don't care, but because lifemoves so fast, especially with
the current news cycle, thingsare moving so fast, and the
world doesn't always give uspermission or time to grieve
what feels maybe small orinvisible, right? There are

(15:36):
certain things that that evenlike at your workplace, you
might have permission if you'relike, really sick, or if you've
had, like, a significant loss inyour family, but you might not
get a day off to processsomething that might be
invisible to other people. Wecan unknowingly be carrying
around unresolved feelings andcarrying out unresolved loss for

(15:56):
many, many years. Grief justisn't for death or heartbreak,
you guys. Grief can come in anyarea of our life, although those
are, of course, really importantas well death or heartbreak or
loss, it lives anywhere.
Something meaningful has shiftedor slipped away. It could be
anything in any area of yourlife. So we all have some things

(16:21):
that we are actively grieving orcoming to terms with letting go
of, or even things in our lifewhere someone else has grown and
we might even still know them orbe in relationship with them,
but it's just in a differentway, and maybe we need to grieve
who they used to be and whothey're becoming we can get
excited about right the manyfaces of grief that often go

(16:42):
unnamed. I just want to share afew of these, because I know
sometimes the word grief canjust get so attached to a
physical loss or a passing ofsomeone to the spirit side, or,
you know, a breakdown of arelationship or a job, but grief
really has so many faces. Maybeit's the identity that you used

(17:04):
to have, or thought you wouldhave. There was a time in my
life where I thought I would bedoing something very different,
and I've had to take some timeto kind of grieve that part that
I didn't get to fully realize.
It's It's not that I don't lovewhat has happened in my life and
who I am now and the people thatI have around me. I do doesn't
mean we don't need toacknowledge I had some different

(17:26):
plans at one time, and thatwould have been awesome too.
Maybe for you, it's a friendshipthat's faded without a
conversation where it happened,and you're just I actually had
someone that I was coaching onthat recently, where a
friendship relationship justkind of slipped away, and they
didn't know why, and theirfeelings were kind of hurt about
it. And there was someprocessing to do there, right?

(17:47):
Some grief to do there. Maybeit's a dream that you had
personally, that you quietly letgo of and didn't really talk to
anyone about it or share it, orare realizing now might never
come to be maybe it's somethingthat you thought, oh, one day
I'm going to do that, or go tothis place or experience this
thing, and now you're realizinglike, oh, that's stuff that

(18:08):
maybe is never going to happenfor me. Maybe it's a feeling
that you've outgrown yourcommunity or your workplace or
even your own role in yourfamily. You know life isn't
static or stagnant. Things aregrowing and shifting and
changing, and perhaps as we growand shift and change, we are

(18:30):
outgrowing some relationships orexperiences or ways that we've
shown up in different places. Somaybe there's also a version of
you that couldn't come with youinto this next phase. There's
parts of you that you've leftbehind, or just things that
aren't fitting in your lifeanymore. We can also very real
be mourning a collectiveexperience, injustice, global

(18:55):
loss, forced military takeoverof our communities.
Environmental grief, maybe it'ssomething culturally that you
don't agree to anymore, or thatjust doesn't feel like home
anymore to you, more of like acollective experience that we're
grieving as an individual,that's a real thing, even,

(19:16):
quote, unquote, good changes,graduations, big, exciting
moves, someone accepting a new,wonderful job across the
country, a marriage, apromotion. Sometimes even these
really wonderful things cancarry some unspoken grief.
Remember joy and grief oftentravel together. There are kind

(19:37):
of two sides of the spectrum ofthe same type of emotion. I
often tell people to the depthto which we loved something is
to the depth to which we need togrieve that thing when we don't
have it or when it shifts to adifferent way in our experience,
the spiritual perspective. Tohear is really that grief is

(20:00):
sacred. We don't always talkabout it like that in our day to
day lives, but it's a sacredexperience. It's not a weakness,
it's not a detour, it's notsomething to rush through. It's
not always comfortable, but itis a portal, and a nine year
unprocessed grief has this wayof surfacing, not to like
overwhelm us or to force us intoa direction, but instead, it's

(20:24):
to be integrated and transmutedto help us move forward and to
allow us that freedom to healWhat's no longer serving us and
move and grow into these moreexpanded or updated versions of
ourselves, what we allowourselves to grieve, we can
finally release and movethrough. On the other side of

(20:47):
that coin, if we do not allowourselves to grieve or to
acknowledge or to process andrelease, we can have kind of
these festering subconsciousemotions, and sometimes we even
can unconsciously developbehaviors tied to these emotions
or these losses. For example,have you ever held on to a dress

(21:10):
or a pair of jeans or a suit, oreven gasp A swimsuit from a
version of yourself thatrealistically won't return. I I
had to do that in my last move.
I had some custom swimsuits thatI was hanging on to that this

(21:31):
version of me, this 47 year oldversion of me, she not going to
fit into those ever again, and Iwasn't holding on to them in a
nostalgic memory box, type of away I was holding on to them in
a way that was kind of not verynice to myself, and pressuring
myself and remembering aprevious standard that I held

(21:52):
myself to. So do you haveanything like that, like an
article of clothing that's notlike, Oh, my sentimental like,
for example, I have my captain'sjacket from high school
cheerleadingthat's nostalgic in a in a happy
way. It's not in a way that'slike mean to myself. Do you
have? Do you have something likethat, like an item that you're
hanging on to from a version ofyou that realistically is not

(22:13):
returning? So it can even bekind of in a in a small,
seemingly unseen orinsignificant way like that. So
some questions to reflect onwith this, what do you need to
grieve is, what part of me or mylife or my past am I quietly
mourning without realizing it?

(22:35):
Often grief is happening. It'sit's in that sometimes when
someone says like, Oh, somethingjust feels off and I don't know
what it is, or I just don't feelas happy as I think I should be.
Given all these wonderful thingsin my life. Sometimes this is
part of our lives or our pastthat we're kind of quietly
mourning without realizing it.
So it could be that, is thereanything in my past that ended

(22:56):
abruptly or prematurely thatkind of sticks with me. You
know, sometimes we have thosethings in our past, of someone
that left abruptly, we didn'tget the closure, and that kind
of sticks with us. It's thesticking with you that is kind
of a good clue that there'ssomething there that needs to be
addressed or looked at orgrieved or felt. What loss big

(23:16):
or small still carries a littlesting when you think of it or
when you unexpectedly arereminded of it. It could be the
loss of an old relationship, forexample, break, a breakup, a
breakdown of a relationship,that you still have a little
just sting in your emotions whenyou are unexpectedly reminded of

(23:37):
it. It just means there's alittle more grieving to do. It's
not, not a way to judgeyourself, but just know well,
there's more emotions here tolook at, to process, to
potentially grieve. And the lasthere is what goodbye did I never
really say out loud or even tomyself. Sometimes we need that
little bit of closure, thatlittle bit of goodbye. I'm going

(23:58):
to share an optional gentlepractice. It's a gentle grief
witnessing exercise. You couldchoose to do it or not. You
could save it for another time,but it's in a supportive
exercise. So I know some of youare like me and like like a
practical exercise or somethingto play with. So here it is.
This is a soul farewell letter.

(24:20):
So I just kind of invite you tosit down at some point when
you're able and write a letterto what you've lost. It could be
an old version of yourself. Itcould be an actual relationship
or person. It could be afavorite item I had, like a
beloved bear that was fromsomeone who's not on this earth
plane anymore, that I lost, andI had a lot of grief over that.

(24:41):
Clearly, I still remember when Iwas a kid. So even if what you
feel like you lost, or what'scoming to your awareness as
something that you can work someemotions around. Even if it was
like a long time ago, or feelslike it would be small or
insignificant to someone else,or kind of subtle, you don't
need to explain it to anyoneelse. Is just for you, and you
don't need to send this letter.
So if it's about a person, don'tfeel like you need to, like, go

(25:05):
private, investigating and findsomeone to send them this
letter. You don't really have tokeep it. I have a dear friend
who does exercises like this,and then we'll burn them, and
they have like, a fire pitoutside in their place that's
safe, always, always firesafety. So you could, you don't
have to keep it. You coulddestroy it in some way, if that
felt right to you. If you didn'twant to keep it, it's just

(25:27):
giving the loss a voice is partof healing sometimes. So for
example, you could start thisletter to yourself, or to this
grief, this this thing thatyou've lost, dear old dream,
maybe when you're a kid, you hada dream of what your life would
look like, and this, ain't it sodear old dream, or Dear version

(25:48):
of me who thought we'd stayforever. You know, I've had
clients that that went through adivorce, a breakdown of a
relationship, or a dissolutionof a partnership. And even
though it was the best, mostaligned decision for them, they
still carried some guilt,because they thought, you know,

(26:10):
I made this commitment and Ithought I was going to stay
forever. So dear version of mewho thought we'd stay forever.
Dear city I left. This is a goodone, dear identity that I no
longer wear. So it's that sortof an idea. Maybe it's something
like a physical item you lost.
Maybe it's a place that you lostconnection with a version of

(26:34):
yourself, a dream job, a careerthat you didn't pursue. Maybe
it's a high school sweetheartthat you didn't get closure
with, that you just want toprivately do some closure and
again, you could choose to burnthe letter in a safe, symbolic
release. You could read it outloud during a quiet moment, just
to yourself, and do some mirrorwork if you wanted. You could

(26:56):
place it under a candle or acrystal as like a blessing of
this closure. You could keep itin a journal, if you like, to
kind of review and rememberthings that you're working on.
There's no right or wrong way todo this. I encourage you to
carry the reflection gently.
This isn't something we want tolike be hard on ourselves about.
This is just This is gentle.

(27:16):
This is playful. This is oursummary, summary stuff to look
at episode. So carry thisreflection gently and remember
you don't have to solve thisgrief today. Grief is not
something we solve. Just noticewhat wants to be seen or felt or
acknowledged, be available, tohave your memory jogged or
triggered or your emotionstouched this let this reflection

(27:39):
kind of walk with you throughoutthe summer, in those quiet
moments, in moments of laughter,in solitude or in community,
whatever it shows up for you asgrief doesn't mean something is
broken. It means somethingmattered to you. So hopefully
you can work that question andcome to some clarity, to do some

(28:01):
release for this nine year. Thatquestion number two was, what
grief or closure needs to bewitnessed? Question number three
of these five questions to askyourself halfway through this
nine year, where is there stillclutter? Energetic, emotional or
physical? Okay, so we talkedabout the importance of
decluttering during a nine year.
A nine year is kind of likespiritual composting. Everything

(28:25):
that's no longer serving yourevolution, or anything that's
not working for you anymore iscoming up for sorting, for
reevaluation. Some things aremeant to be kept, of course, and
others transformed, and manythings are meant to be released
entirely. And that doesn't haveto be a total change in our
lives. It could even be like,Oh, I'm going to work on my

(28:47):
negative self talk and releasethat and fill it in with
something else. Clutter blocks,clarity, clutter of all kinds,
not just physical clutter. Ifyou've been asking for a sign or
a breakthrough and it feels likeit's not coming, or that energy
is not stirring. Check yourenergetic closet, so to speak.
What are you hanging on to thatyou know you need to declutter

(29:08):
from your life, from youremotional space, from your head
space, from your energy,whatever it might be, clutter
isn't just stuff, even thoughthat's often how we think about
it, and I've definitely listenedto lots of helpful podcasts
about decluttering, like yourkitchen, for example. But it's
not just stuff, it's anythingthat no longer belongs. It can
show up as unfinishedconversations that weigh on your

(29:32):
heart or your spirit. It canshow up as a closet of clothes
that just don't match who you'rebecoming. It can show up as
digital clutter. Maybe there'semails that you're avoiding or
people you need to unfollow orunfriend, or things on your feed
that just are toxic or, yeah,not not moving your energy in a

(29:54):
way that's in alignment withyour future, right? So kind of
you? I think a lot of people areon their phones a lot. You could
take a few minutes and do somedigital decluttering, if you
wanted to. It could be emotionalloops, for example. Maybe it's
guilt or what ifs or keepingtabs on people that you've
outgrown. Have you ever donethat kind of keep checking on
someone that you've welloutgrown? I've really worked the

(30:17):
energy of that one, so that'snot one for me, but if you are
doing that, I highly invite youto really just see if you can do
some release around that. Forsome it's calendar chaos. Maybe
you notice that, particularly insummer, you say yes to
everything, but then you feeldrained by most of it, because

(30:38):
you're just overfilling yourcalendar, and maybe you're gonna
get clear about that. Maybe it'senergetic over commitments for
you being too available, tooaccommodating, or too like
entangled or enmeshed or COdependent with people. It's just
something to start looking atand and taking stock of as we
cruise through the rest of thisnine year. A spiritual

(31:00):
perspective, or some thoughts onthis is every object or thought
or commitment holds energy. Iknow we've talked about this in
the more psychic episodes where,like items, physical items hold
energy, but soda, thoughts andcommitments and other stuff that
we're holding on to that's nonphysical. Your emotion about

(31:23):
each object or thought orcommitment also holds a
vibrational frequency. So it'snot just the item itself, it's
what it invokes in you. Does itstir your emotions? Does it
trigger you? Do you have thingsthat you hold on to that it's
not like a memory in a positiveway that you're hanging on to
and you become emotional. It's amemory in a negative way that

(31:44):
you're hanging on to andbecoming emotional. It's not
that emotions are bad. They'renot, but it's just being aware
of that vibrational frequency ofthe the stuff of our lives, and
what it triggers, or how itresonates in us. I'm going to
give you an example, hopefullymake this a little more
grounded. If you're, forexample, surrounded by things

(32:05):
that you have resentmentstowards. Let's just use this
example, a dearly a dailycarpool. Maybe, maybe you agree
to be part of a carpool, likeyou have kids in school still,
and you resent that you have todrive this freaking carpool and
something like that. Maybe foryou, it's like a vase that you

(32:25):
hate, that a family member gaveyou for a special occasion, and
you keep it up in your home oroffice out of guilt. Maybe it's
like we were talking about inthe last example, a pair of
jeans that you haven't fit intoin 15 years that stare at you
from the corner of your closetwith judgment, something like
that. So the things that youhave resentments towards, right?

(32:49):
And then they're surroundingyou. You're surrounding yourself
with things that create avibrational frequency of
resentment, of disappointment,of shame, of guilt. It's not
those genes, it's that emotionthat they invoke in you. It's
that you feel like they'rejudging you, or you feel like
it's giving you some kind ofguilt or shame or
disappointment. It's thevibrational frequency of the

(33:12):
emotion that these items createin you. It's not the item
themselves, that vase could havegone anywhere to anyone, and
could be just as happy living inthe closet, or the goodwill that
vase has nothing about it. It'sIt's what it's bringing up in
you that you have it up on yourwhatever shelf and you hate it.
So it's really more about youthan the tangible item. In a

(33:33):
nine year the universe istelling you lighten your load.
What can you sweep away? Not outof punishment, right? It's not
trying to take things away fromus, to punish us, but to make
room for what's next. I used todo this thing with my kids when
they were little. Around theholidays. We'd do kind of a
quote, unquote spring cleaningversion, where it's any toys

(33:53):
that they felt like they couldshare with another kid now that
they didn't need to ownthemselves, but that they could
share. And that's how we'd sortof do this decluttering before
the holidays, where they'd get abunch of new gifts or toys or
whatever so, and kind of thinkof it like that, like we need to
release some things, not out ofpunishment, but to make new for
what's going to be next, to helpyou step more fully, not the

(34:16):
vibrational frequency of who youwere, but of what You want to
attract next, what you want toexperience, what you want to
create more of not holding youin this prison of who you used
to be and what you used to want,right? So here's some questions
to reflect on as we think aboutcreating more of what we want,
what in my life feels like ittakes up more energy than it

(34:39):
gives back. Oh, I know that's atight one, because sometimes we
feel like we have obligations,right? I'm going to give you
some examples of how to workthis in just a second, but let
me give you these questionsfirst. So what in my life feels
like it takes up more energythan it gives back? Where do I
feel heaviness, obligation andresentment? Those aren't great
feelings. So. So if I clearedjust one thing, physical or

(35:02):
emotional, what would bring methe most relief? If I could
just, like, release one thing, aphysical thing, an emotional
thing, what would bring me themost relief? As you go through
these questions, start tounderstand and lean into your
why, so I'm going to give you anexample to hopefully help kind
of gel this in, because thistool is so easy, but it's so

(35:23):
powerful. Maybe in your mind, aswe're going through these
questions, you're thinking, Idid subscribe to a carpool. I do
feel resentment towards it, andI would love to get rid of that
carpool. And maybe initially, asyou're thinking about it, you
feel resentful about drivingthat carpool, but then as you
start to dig into your why, so,okay, drive this carpool. I hate

(35:44):
that I have to do this carpool,and what I'm telling you is like
start to understand and leaninto your why. So as you start
to dig into your why with thiscarpool, you remember that
actually one of the reasons thatyou decided to be a part of the
carpool is because splitting upthe ride sharing duties allows
you to work late one eveningeach week so that you can leave

(36:05):
early on a different evening,and you don't have to miss the
soccer games that you reallywant to go to for your kiddo. So
in this example, rememberingthis why? This reason probably
doesn't make the carpool anyeasier or make it suck any less,
to be honest, but rememberingthe reason you do like it or do
want it can help adjust youremotions or attitude and

(36:29):
therefore shift your energeticvibration about it. So it's not
going to change the carpoolthese annoying kids that you got
to pick up, whatever it is, butit can change your attitude as
you go about it, because yourealize, like, Oh, I'm so
grateful I get to leave earlyone day a week. Even though I
don't love this carpool, I lovethe outcome. This is awesome.

(36:49):
Instead of being resentful andgrumpy, it can change your
energetic vibration about it.
Okay, I'm gonna give you anotherexample, in case that one didn't
do it for you. This example,maybe you come to the awareness
like, what's, what could yourelease? What's one thing that's
either taken more than it'sgiven, or one thing that you're
like, I just really like torelease this thing. Maybe for

(37:10):
you, it's, I no longer enjoyspending time with my longtime
friend. Let's call her Maya. Whyspecifically do you no longer
enjoy spending time with her.
Well, maybe you say joy. Here'sthe truth. All she does is
complain and spread negativity.
And even if I try to suggest aneasy change or solution or a
book that might help her, orsuggest therapy, it seems like

(37:32):
she just wants us to complainand be unhappy, and she doesn't
want anyone around her to sharegood things in their own life,
or talk about positive things.
And it's been like this foryears, actually, and I'm taking
this from a recent coaching sothat's why I have so much
content for it. And thequestion, I guess, is, then, is,

(37:55):
why are you friends with her?
Right? So if it's like, I justI, I just know I no longer feel
good spending time with thisfriend. We've been friends a
long time, but I just don'tenjoy spending time with her.
Okay, why do you no longer enjoyspending time? She's a downer.
She's an energy vampire. I don'tlove it. Why are you friends
with her? Well, partly, I guess,because we've known each other

(38:17):
since we were young, and partlyout of guilt, I guess so in this
case, understanding the whymight bring more clarity around.
Okay, well, maybe a 21year old version of me got along
with Maya really well, but I'vegrown, and actually, I've maybe
grown and changed to where we'renot in a similar place anymore.

(38:38):
So maybe, you know, 37 year oldme doesn't want to be friends in
the same way with Maya anymore.
So that's something to evaluate.
It might be a full release ofthat relationship. It might just
be that you don't allow it totake up time on your calendar
anymore. So you get to choose.
You have full choice, butevaluating these things as we're

(39:02):
moving through the rest of thisnine year just can be so, so
powerful. So it's not even whatare you feeling like you would
want to declutter or release,but, but why? Why do you have
that thing in the first place?
Why you hanging on to it? Why doyou feel that way? So it's
really leaning into that. Why?
So I have another optionalpractice for you. This is a

(39:24):
sacred inventory checklist. Ireally invite you for the next
like month, just pick onecategory this month and gently
assess. So this is kind of yourinvitation for this practice.
I'm not saying you have to do awhole life overhaul. Maybe
that's too much for you, butmaybe just pick one area of your

(39:44):
life. Maybe it's your physicalspace, your digital world,
right? Your Devices. Maybe it'syour inner dialog that you're
going to work on or be aware of.
Maybe it's your calendar, ifyou're like someone, that the
calendar is just too much foryou. Or maybe it's your
relationships, if you. Want tokind of do a big excavation and
really just simply notice, asyou move through the summer what
makes me feel heavy and whatmakes me feel open. So if you're

(40:08):
going to do your digital world,for example, Azure, whatever it
is for you, maybe it's emails,maybe it's content that you're
taking in, maybe you're creatingwhat makes me feel heavy and
what makes me feel open, right?
That's the evaluation, if it'syour inner dialog, same thing,
what that I'm saying inside tomyself makes me feel heavy,

(40:30):
heavy hearted, heavy emotion,just heavy in the energy. Or
what makes me feel open, open? Ilove that open, breezy light,
right? So choose what area ofyour life, whatever you like,
and just start to notice thisnext month, or maybe through the
summer, what makes you feelheavy and what makes you feel
open, kind of like these twolittle scales or a little meter

(40:51):
within you. And I just want toencourage you as you reflect,
not everything you feelresistance towards is meant to
be cut out. Sometimes it's aninvitation to reconnect to your
deeper why. When you understandwhat's underneath the
discomfort, whether it'sresentment or fatigue or
disconnection, you gain clarityabout whether something truly

(41:14):
needs to go or maybe it justneeds to shift, or maybe some
new agreements need to be made,right, so that you can be living
more in alignment with what youwant to experience and who you
are. Some things drain usbecause they've expired. That's
certainly true. Other thingsdrain us because we've forgotten
why we chose them in the firstplace. So let this be a

(41:35):
compassionate, curiousexploration, not a judgment.
Don't self judge. It's nothelpful. You don't have to
overhaul your life this summer,but noticing what feels heavy or
misaligned or just kind of offcreates space for healing and
honesty and conscious choices,and that's hopefully what we're
all moving towards, moreconsciously choosing where we

(41:58):
spend our time and energy from asoul aligned place, rather from,
rather than from this place oflike guilt or obligation,
because that just breeds moreresentment. Decluttering doesn't
always mean walking away. It canmean recommitting with fresh
energy, like the carpool. It canmean shifting the terms. It can
mean blessing something for therole that it played, and gently

(42:21):
letting it fade away like thanksand no longer need you. There's
no right or wrong answer here,just truth and your truth and
the freedom that comes when youhonor your own truth. That
brings us to number four on thelist of these five questions to
be considering as we move intothe second half of this nine

(42:42):
year energy. What roles orpersonas Am I being asked to
retire? This is an interestingone, because, like we were
talking about, life isn'tstagnant as we move and as time
moves, things change. Kids grow.
Our experience deepens.
Sometimes we might get moreclarity about a relationship or

(43:03):
a job or a way of being. A nineyear invites you to release not
just situations or relationshipsbut versions of yourself that
you've outgrown. Many of us arewalking around still performing
roles that we learned in ourchildhood. Maybe we learned them
through crisis or throughsurvival at different parts in
our life, but what onceprotected or defined You may now

(43:25):
be keeping you small, is thattrue anywhere in your life?
Let's think about it this midyear moment is a powerful time
to ask. Is the way I'm showingup, still true to who I've
become? Sometimes we're justliving out old patterns, common
rules that may indicate thatyou're ready to shift right? I'm

(43:47):
going to give you some commonroles, and I just want you to
let it wash over you. Remember,non judgmental space here for
yourself. Let these roles washover you, as I say them, and
just see, am I wearing thisrole? Do I still want to wear
this role? Is this still inalignment? Is the way I'm
showing up, still true to whoI've become. Here's some common

(44:08):
roles that may be ready toshift. The Fixer or healer. This
is the one that's always helpingothers, even when you're totally
depleted yourself, the strongone. This involves, like, hiding
your pain to keep it togetherfor everyone else. The strong
one, the overachiever, doingmore to prove your worth, not

(44:31):
because you love doing more, butto prove your worth. That's kind
of a key. The Peacemaker, Thisoften involves swallowing your
truth to keep everything oreveryone at peace, the people
pleaser. I know. I know all ofthese pretty well, saying yes,
even when your soul is sayingno. As the people pleaser, the

(44:51):
compliant one, also known as thegood girl or the good guy,
blending in, not rocking theboat, total fear of dis.
Approval, just wanting to becompliant. Go along to get
along, right? Be a good girl ora good guy, the doormat. You
have no boundaries, and youallow yourself to be walked on.

(45:12):
I've definitely played all ofthese roles at different times.
The victim, everything happensto you. Woe is me is often the
plight of the victim. Theseroles often started from love or
necessity or culturalconditioning, but into nine
year, they begin to feel likecostumes that no longer fit.

(45:33):
Maybe you don't feel like youneed to be the strong one for
everyone else. Maybe you havegrown and done personal
development and realized, Oh,your emotions matter too, and
you're not required to hide yourpain or put yourself to the side
and sacrifice everything foreveryone else. You matter too.
Maybe you've learned that, andso now you no longer need to

(45:54):
play the role of the strong oneall the time. This is about
growth, transition, evolution.
We're always growing out ofcertain thoughts, beliefs, fears
and expanding into more fullyexpressed versions of ourselves.
Hopefully, we do have free will,and we can refuse to grow and
evolve or even drag our feet.

(46:16):
But if you're here, my best betis that you're growing and
evolving, and you're showing upand you're trying. That's all
that's really required, isshowing up and continuing to
try. Here's some questions toreflect on with this one, who do
I automatically become incertain situations or
relationships, and does thatversion of me feel authentic? We

(46:39):
often see this around theholidays, but I know a lot of
people in summer do, like summertrips, like back home, wherever
that is, or like a familyreunions or family gatherings.
This is a really interestingtime to evaluate this one. I
think of it most aroundholidays. I think that's when
it's maybe the most talkedabout, just in online in

(46:59):
general, but like when you goback home to visit family or to
a family reunion, do you slipinto an old version of yourself,
like, Who do you automaticallybecome in those certain
relationships or situations, anddoes that still feel authentic
to you? So if you do have anykind of family togetherness
coming up, this is a great timeto evaluate that. Or even like a

(47:19):
work retreat or a work meeting,you can evaluate it in any area
of your life. The next thing toreflect on what part of me feels
tired of holding up an image oran expectation or an identity.
Sometimes we hold on to anidentity because our family of
origin expects that of us, andso we hold on to it even though

(47:40):
we feel tired and it doesn'tfeel genuine to us. If I stopped
performing this role, what wouldI gain and what might I lose?
Because the next thing, if younotice you're stepping into a
role, or kind of playing a role,or wearing a costume of a an
archetype, all right, so if Istopped performing this role,
what would be better or whatwould be worse? And the last

(48:03):
question here to kind of reflecton is, what version of me am I
secretly longing to express morefully, or even to know more
deeply? Because often, if we'restepping into these old versions
of us or these old expectedroles, there's another part of
us lingering just under thesurface that is wanting to be
more fully expressed, that issecretly longing to come to the

(48:26):
surface more or be known moredeeply, right? It's who you're
growing into, who you'rebecoming more of. From a
spiritual perspective or somethoughts, your soul didn't come
here to perform. It came here toembody so retiring a role or a
version of you that you used tostep into, or a role you used to
play, isn't a rejection, it's anintegration. It's choosing

(48:50):
presence over pretense. In anine year, you're being invited
to stop proving and start being.
That really struck it for methat that line, in a nine year,
you're invited to stop provingand start being so maybe just
kind of lightly, be evaluating,where am I proving versus being
right? An optional littlepractice for you, the mask

(49:13):
meditation. You have to do thisright now, but when you're able,
you kind of just close your eyesfor this exercise, and you start
to evaluate from within, whatmask Am I still wearing that no
longer feels like me. Because ifwe think about this as more
masking or costuming, theseroles that we step into almost
like an exaggerated, imaginaryversion of it, it can make it

(49:37):
even a little more clear whenwe're doing it, what part of me
is ready to step forwardinstead? Because if we can
retire one of these roles, maybethere's a different, evolved
part of you that can step in andtake over in that area. What you
can journal about, what you seeor feel. Just let yourself write
without edit. Editing like youcan as you kind of ponder these

(50:00):
questions, or go to that familyreunion, or engage with people
from your past or people fromyour maybe different areas of
your life, your community, yourplace of worship, your place of
work, just kind of evaluatingand just take some notes or do
some journaling about what yousense or seal see or feel, let
yourself write without editing,or you can even if you discover,

(50:23):
oh, there is a role that you'restepping into, a version of you
who held a role. You can kind ofwrite another little letter, a
thank you letter for thatversion of you and their
service, and then ask what yoursoul wants to step into next. I
want to offer a little gentlereminder here retiring a role or
a version of yourself. Itdoesn't mean you failed at it.

(50:46):
It means you no longer need itto feel safe or seen or worthy.
The more aligned that youbecome, the less performance is
required. You're not likeperforming yourself as a
personality. You're just beingyourself. You don't have to try
to be you. You get to just beokay. That brings us to my fifth
and final of these things thatwe're considering in this

(51:08):
halfway through the nine yearsoul check in these five
questions to align and takecharge. Let's come to this fifth
question. What are you preparingfor. And are you aligned with
what's coming? Spoiler alert,you still have half the year to
get aligned. In case you arefeeling like, oh my gosh, I

(51:30):
can't believe we're already youknow, towards the end of June as
the time this is going torelease, and what am I going to
do? You still have half the yearto prepare. So what are
you preparing for? And are youaligned with what's coming next
for you? The second half of anine year is a sacred threshold,
while the energy of Completionis still present as part of this

(51:54):
year, the space it's clearingisn't empty, it's fertile. So
what you tend to right now, evenin small, seemingly invisible
ways, becomes the foundation ofyour next cycle. This isn't
about hustling. I know we canget into that hustle culture
pretty easily, so you're nottrying to hustle yourself into
something new. It's aboutbecoming intentional with the

(52:17):
energies that you carry forwardinto the rest of 2025 and
beyond, of course. So think ofit as spiritual stage prep. If
you're getting ready for yournext act in a play, right blend
the energies at play. So thismoment is potent both and right.

(52:38):
It doesn't have to be so blackand white, one or the other. I'm
releasing this and I'm becomingthis. It's kind of a both and,
right? You're still being askedto release What's no longer for
you, but you're also being askedto begin preparing for who
you're becoming or what you wantto experience next. We
experience versions of thisenergetic threshold many, many

(52:59):
times in our lives. It's almostthe energy of finishing middle
school or getting ready to moveon to high school, or maybe
finishing high school andgetting ready to move on to
college or college to work.
We've made many transitions inour lives, and you've learned a
lot about who you are and becomeso much but now you're
transitioning into the nextphase, right? And there's still

(53:21):
time to prepare. So I'm going togive you some soul questions to
explore for this. What are youpreparing for, and are you
ready? Right? What are youpreparing for, and are you
aligned with? What's coming nextfor you? These questions sound
like, what parts of me feel likethey're quietly becoming

(53:42):
something new. Often, we evenlightly, subconsciously, become
aware of ourselves changing orbecoming interested in different
things, or even curiosity aboutnew things. And we often become
aware of these things wellbefore we share them with anyone
in the world, even a closestfriend or confidant, so just
starting to feel into withinyourself, what parts of me are

(54:04):
feeling like they're quietlybecoming something new, what
internal seeds have beenwhispering to me, nudging me
towards a new direction or a newrole or a new thing to explore?
Am I setting up systems,boundaries or intentions that
support who I'm becoming, notwho I've been. This is a tough

(54:24):
one, because we are who we arein this moment, but we're all
becoming new versions ofourselves and evolving all the
time. Hopefully, so are yousetting up boundaries that are
supportive to who you're wantingto become? It doesn't mean you
have to do it as you've alwaysdone it, but you can kind of be
thinking and feeling forward andsetting up those supportive
structures for yourself. Whatkind of supportive structures,

(54:48):
energetic, emotional orpractical does Future Me need?
Maybe it's therapy, maybe it'sas a personal assistant. Maybe.
It's just some different supportaround the roles you're
releasing and what you'restepping into, right? But just
starting to think about, okay,this person, that I'm becoming

(55:09):
this version of me, that I'mcontinuing to step into the
stuff I want to create, whatsupportive structures,
energetic, emotional, practical,need to be in place for future
me. What foundational spiritualor energy management practices
could support me as I becomefuture me, for example, I've

(55:30):
talked about this before. Thisis a perfect time to work with a
foundational practice like dailymeditation, gratitude practice,
even a mindfulness like beingpresent. Practice working with
your intuition, etc. Whatfoundational spiritual or
energetic management practicescould support you as you become

(55:52):
this future version of you asyou call forward these things
you want to experience next, I'mgoing to give you a little
practice for this one. Andagain, these are just meant to
be fun, playful things that youintegrate through your summer or
the season that you're in rightnow. This is an idea of building
an invisible foundation. So forthis, I invite you to pick one

(56:13):
area of your life to beginpreparing quietly behind the
scenes. It could be clearingspace on your calendar for more
rest or creativity orcollaborative meetings or
aligned work, right? So you canmost of us need to start working
our calendar ahead. I knowthat's true for me. Is that true
for you? So kind of lookingahead on your calendar for
future you Okay? Could I, couldI get a daily meditation in

(56:36):
here? Could I carve out a timeto be part of a group that I'm
wanting to join, right? Maybeit's setting boundaries that
reflect your values, that you'reliving into to create more of
right? Maybe it's like for me,for example, a new thing that
I've been trying is, first ofall, I've been trying to take

(56:57):
two days off. I'm onlysuccessful at it some of the
time, but I try to have a 24hour period where I'm not
answering business emails. Noteveryone's loving it, but I need
it, and it's something that'ssupportive for me and who I'm
growing into. So it could besomething that feels kind of
small like that, or easy tointegrate just boundaries. What

(57:18):
are your new boundaries, andwhat boundaries does this future
version of you need that can besupportive? Maybe it's taking
one micro step towards a longheld dream. Maybe it's like
buying the URL the.com right?
Maybe it's creating the outlinefor the book or essay you want

(57:38):
to write. Maybe it's asking forsome help. Maybe you have a
dream that you don't know how tomove forward. So maybe you're
gonna enlist some people thatknow a little more than you,
some professionals, and ask fora little help. Maybe it's as
simple as looking into thatclass or that group or that
certification. Maybe it'supdating your environment to
reflect who you're growing intonow, not just who you were. Of

(58:02):
course, memories are powerful,and it's wonderful to keep happy
memories or sentimental thingsaround you, but maybe you're
wanting to integrate and addsome things that represent who
you're becoming, the nextversion of you. For example,
this could be as simple asordering one of those, like
nameplate plaque things thatsits on your desk with your name

(58:23):
and your future title on it.
Maybe you're, you know, notowning your own business right
now, but you're gonna get alittle plaque for your desk at
home with your name that saysowner or CEO or president,
whatever it is that you'rewanting to grow into. Maybe it's
as simple as just you writingdown some affirmations that you

(58:44):
can say to remind yourself whoyou're becoming. So this is kind
of integrating a little bit ofan invisible foundation. I want
to just encourage you and remindyou that you don't need to be
ready, in a traditional sense,to grow into this next version
of you. You're not preparing forlike a grand arrival, right?
It's not like you got houseguests coming and you need to do

(59:06):
all this preparation. You'repreparing to meet yourself more
fully, to express yourself morefully. These small shifts, these
quiet preparations and honestadjustments, become just kind of
like a scaffolding or supportbeams for a more aligned soul
led life. And that's more thanenough. So in closing, as we

(59:28):
wrap up this episode, as we movethrough the second half of this
nine year, remember, you're notlate, you're not behind, you're
right on time for the version ofyou that's ready to emerge. So
whether you're gently noticingwhat you've been resisting or
making space for quiet grief orclosure, or maybe clearing

(59:52):
emotional or energetic clutterfrom your space or your life,
maybe you're working onretiring. Airing a role that no
longer fits for you, or layingunseen groundwork for what's
next. You're doing the real workthat's soulful work, and this
season, it's sacred. Let summerbe your reset, let the light and

(01:00:14):
heat support your clarity, letplay stillness and truth telling
guide your next steps, notpressure you or for those in the
winter season now, allowing thatseason to help with this
internal contemplation andexpansion, trust that whatever
you're tending to, releasing orreimagining right now, it's part

(01:00:37):
of your own greater becoming.
The second half of the nine yearisn't a countdown, it's a
preparation. So don't rush theblooming. Let the roots deepen.
And if you haven't alreadychecked out that nine themes for
the nine year, I'm going to dropit in the show notes, and I
highly recommend you check itout so you can see which of

(01:00:57):
these themes you're alreadyreally noticing. It's pretty
crazy, especially with thethings that are coming up in our
current events in the States.
Some people that are heavily inthe news right now, not just
political, but also kind ofsocial public figures. This is
all in the themes. This was allin that episode that we talked
about. You are going to beshocked at how these themes are

(01:01:19):
playing out. I recently relistened to that episode, and it
was so much fun, so I'll drop itin the show notes. It was
released around the end of theyear. It's called the nine
themes for the nine year, whatto expect in 2025 so highly
encourage you to check that out.
Have some fun with thesequestions, with these queries. I

(01:01:39):
will run through them reallyquick again, before we go just
the main questions, what are youresisting? Was the first one,
what grief or closure needs tobe witnessed is the second one,
where is there clutter? Still,whether it's energetic,
emotional or physical, sodecluttering. The fourth one is,
what roles or personas, am Ibeing asked to retire? Think

(01:02:04):
about taking off that costume,that superhero cape, and the
fifth one is, what are youpreparing for, and are you
aligned with what's coming sothese are delicious. These are
fun. I highly encourage you toponder and just let this energy
roll around in your space, cometo some recognitions and some
clarity, so that you can reallyembrace what this nine year is

(01:02:27):
offering you and prepare forwhat this one year, next year,
