Hi everybody, welcome to Unlearn the Crap and
Level Up Your Soul is Calling.
Today's segment is Unfiltered Fire Friday and today
is a really unique conversation.
I want to tie what is happening in
(00:24):
the world energetically, spiritually, astrologically, with what is
happening with us as a society, as the
feminine rising, as women becoming empowered.
Let me start with the energetic and the
(00:46):
what I can't stand it when people call
it woo-woo, because I believe that woo
-woo was a name that was given to
that which could not be tangible as a
way to discredit it.
And so when I use that, it's only
to help you understand that I'm talking about
the stuff we can't touch, the stuff we
(01:09):
can't feel, but is so much more real.
Recently, there have been massive surges that have
been happening in the Earth's electromagnetic field.
The shamanic resonance is an ability to measure
(01:31):
the field that's happening within our world.
It's affected by us collectively, and we are
affected by it.
It is affected by that which is happening
within our universe and the energy that is
coming in.
And I believe it's also what is going
out, because it is the breath or the
(01:54):
vitality of our Earth, the inner breath as
you can see it expanding and moving.
And there have been some really powerful, powerful,
energetic things happening.
And I've been feeling it both within my
(02:17):
body, but also within my life.
And I know that everyone else is.
But the thing is, we're not necessarily aware
of it unless we go and look.
Something's happening.
We can feel it.
We know it.
It's there.
But we don't necessarily be able to articulate
(02:38):
what it actually is.
And so I encourage you to go and
check out the shamanic resonance field.
When you're feeling something and wonder, is this
connected to something bigger than me?
Or is this within me?
Is this a field that I'm being affected
(03:01):
by, like the change of seasons?
We will feel the wind, the rain, the
snow, the sleet.
We feel the hurricanes, the tornadoes, even if
we can't see and touch them, that we
feel their forces.
And this is the same.
And when we combine it with what is
(03:23):
happening, we recently had Pluto shift at the
beginning of the year and how that was
affecting.
But now we have in our astrological charts,
Uranus has just moved into Gemini.
This has not happened in this placement for
(03:46):
77 years.
And it happened on July 7th.
And it's going to last for seven years.
Now, even if you don't believe in numerology,
and even if you don't believe in synchronicities
and coincidences, you can't help but connect the
(04:08):
pieces of what is happening and how we
can see these changes are happening everywhere.
We are seeing massive change in our political
world, in our economic world, in our financial,
our education, in our governments, in our medical
(04:30):
systems.
We're seeing it in our social, our technology.
There is not an area of our world
in our life that is not being affected.
And when we see the convergence of all
of these different areas, and they're all happening
at the same time, it becomes impossible, actually
(04:55):
quite insane, to deny its effect.
It's insane to deny that everything is the
good old days, and that we're going to
go back anywhere.
We cannot ever, ever go back, because back
doesn't exist.
(05:16):
And if we're trying to hold on to
something that doesn't exist anymore, we're denying the
reality of what is.
And what is, is that life is a
spiral.
It is a movement up.
And we're all being called to level up.
That's where the name of this podcast came
(05:38):
from, Unlearn the Crap and Level Up, Your
Soul is Calling.
That is happening.
We live in a universe that is constantly
in evolution of movement.
Do you know that recently they're noticing that
the oceans are reversing its flow?
(06:02):
You cannot deny that there are all of
these factors happening.
So how is that affecting us as women?
How is that affecting us as a society?
There is a massive movement of women moving
from corporate to entrepreneurship.
(06:24):
Now, I'll talk about the spiritual and the
feminine part of it.
But if we also talk about the economics
of the fact that there are things happening
within our technology, we have massive changes happening
within AI automation and robotics that are replacing
our current jobs, replacing our current manual repetitive
(06:48):
labor.
We even have trained AI bots that are
able to act as customer service agents on
the front end.
Things that we thought were true human jobs
that couldn't be replaced because human interaction was
so sacred.
(07:08):
I recently saw a doctor talk about how
AI is able to diagnose patients with 99
% accuracy.
Better than any doctor.
What if AI and automation and robotics took
(07:31):
over even things like our medical system?
Where does that leave us?
So many times people are afraid of what
those changes are going to mean.
And I heard a doctor who was talking
about how AI was affecting the medical industry.
And she was saying that AI and robotics
(07:52):
and technology cannot replace surgery, bandaging broken bones,
healing or giving human connection of empathy and
being there.
And so if we start to look at
the fact that we don't have to do
(08:15):
it all, but it's going to affect us
whether we like it or whether we don't.
It is happening.
And so we're having changes that are happening
within our governments and our laws and political
situations around the world.
(08:37):
It's affecting the way our companies and our
jobs and our trades are happening.
This is not something that we have the
ability to say, stop, I don't want to
play anymore.
Because these are things that are happening.
And so women are finding that they cannot
(09:00):
trust the old systems.
And they're moving away from traditional corporate worlds
where they had a glass ceiling, where they
had imposed on them when they worked, how
they worked and how far they could achieve
what they could accomplish.
(09:20):
And they said, no, no, no, I have
more to give.
I have more than I want to achieve.
I have more than I want to give
to the world.
And so if you're going to stifle me,
I'm going to take it into my own
hands.
And so we're seeing a rise of women
(09:43):
become entrepreneurs and go out on their own.
What does this look like?
Well, I can tell you that there has
been an increase of women becoming entrepreneurs of
69% from 2019 to 2024.
(10:04):
And do you know that 44% of
women entrepreneurs are outpacing the males in entrepreneurship?
I don't believe that this is a sign
that they're saying something about men versus women.
What I see it as, as women doing
(10:27):
something different, unique, they're challenging themselves.
And I have to wonder, are the men
who are not keeping pace with that same
growth that's happening with women in entrepreneurship?
Is it because they're holding on to what
(10:47):
was the old rules, the old expectations, the
old things that said this is what is
going to make us successful?
Just wondering out loud.
Now, the other thing that is so amazing
is that women are saying, 93% of
(11:08):
them are saying that they are getting more
satisfaction, more time, more freedom from going out
on their own.
Now, this ties directly to what I've been
saying in Unlearn the Crap, and that we're
all being called to find what our unique
perspective, our unique zone of genius, what our
(11:34):
experience, what we have to bring.
Because even though we may be bringing a
similar thing to the world, it is impossible
for any one of us to bring it
the same way, at the same time, with
the same effect, because we all have a
(11:56):
unique proposition for the world.
And the world is asking for each and
every one of us to bring it.
Now, what are the challenges that are happening
with this?
We're finding that women who are trying to
(12:17):
do things in that old masculine way of
I will win at the expense of you,
that I will do whatever it takes, that
the ends justify the means, they may be
successful in the short term, but that cannot
(12:37):
last in the long term.
So, where does that leave us?
If we're not going to work in the
hustle and the bustle and the push at
all expense, how do we become more successful?
Because the truth is that even though there
are that many women who are joining entrepreneurship,
(12:59):
who are finding their voice, who are finding
their place, we are not keeping up with
the same quality of remuneration.
Women are not making the same amount of
money as men still in 2025.
(13:19):
This is crazy.
And what is even crazier is I am
seeing the undoing of progress that is happening
around the world.
There are forces that are trying to claw
women back, hold them back and say, no,
(13:41):
you are taking too much of the pie.
Because they believe that there is only so
much.
And that if we succeed, then that takes
something away from them.
That is so not true.
I cannot breathe too much air that it's
(14:03):
going to take air away from you.
I cannot stand under the rain and feel
the raindrops hitting me and have you sacrifice
by not getting your fair share of the
rain.
There is enough.
There's more than enough for each and every
one of us.
But it requires that we stand up and
(14:25):
claim it.
I'm going to be a little bit personal
here.
Yes, I had to think about my words.
Recently, this podcast was on a hiatus.
It's been on a hiatus for about six
(14:46):
weeks.
I'm so glad to be back here doing
my first Unfiltered Fire Friday in quite a
few weeks.
It was happening because of systems outside of
me.
And I was working within the old systems.
(15:09):
I was trying to do what had worked
before, which was to be agreeable, to be
nice, to try to accommodate the things and
people and the circumstances that were happening around
me.
But when I realized that I needed to
(15:29):
step up, level up, and do things, the
empowered version of Kathy, not the nice, easygoing
girl, but the one who said, I claim,
I own, I choose, that's when things started
(15:51):
to move.
That's when those external circumstances that were keeping
me from being able to share my voice
were removed.
Well, now I get to step up and
own my own voice, own my place.
(16:13):
That comes with a level of responsibility and
accountability that we all must choose to have.
Because to own your own voice, to be
in homeostasis, to be in personal alignment, so
that you can bring your purpose, your passion,
your peace to the world.
(16:36):
So that you can enjoy the joys and
the feelings of freedom and expansion that requires
that you also step out of the old
version of yourself.
The old version that got you as far
(16:56):
as you are.
Because that version of you is not going
to take you to the next level.
But you do have something special, something unique.
You know it.
You can feel it.
You can feel the calling.
(17:18):
It may scare the living hell out of
you.
And that's good.
Because if it does, then that is telling
you you are going in the right direction.
Because the comfort zone won't scare you.
The tried, the true, the things you've known
(17:39):
and experienced all of your life, they're not
going to scare you.
They're not going to challenge you.
They're not going to push you.
And it is only those things that come
into our world that take us out, that
challenge us, that make us say no more.
(18:02):
I'm going to do this.
I'm going to level up.
That's the calling that is happening.
I have been doing some major research on
where my part, where our part lies in
(18:23):
the world leveling up.
What would it take, I wondered, for us
to actually step in and expedite this change
that's happening so that we're not stuck in
this purgatory.
Because we're not where we were, but we're
not where we're going.
We're somewhere in the middle.
(18:43):
And that middle part creates tension and chaos
and conflict.
And you know that I believe that if
each and every one of us steps up
into our place in this world, and we
live in personal alignment, and we are all
(19:08):
having all of our needs and wants met,
and we're independent, and we're accountable, and we're
responsible, there's no place for war.
There's no place for hatred or bigotry or
any of these other negative forces that are
(19:31):
coming out in droves right now.
The level of hatred that is coming tells
me how much the power of what is
good is coming.
We live in a world of polarity.
(19:52):
If there is this much good that is
coming, there must be equal amount of the
opposite.
That evil, that hatred, that anger, that fight,
those fears, the control, that is growing exponentially
(20:15):
because of how much power and love and
peace and joy is also coming.
And we cannot, we cannot level up at
the same place that we are.
And so we will see this conflict.
(20:36):
And we will have these challenges.
And we will have to face it.
And the old ways will not work.
I encourage every single person who is hearing
this to go inward, to go to the
(20:58):
place where there is true empowerment, your own
energy, your own vision, your dreams, your feelings,
your mission, your soul's calling, and bring it
out.
And accept that it's not going to all
(21:18):
be pretty.
That's not all going to be easy.
And it sure as hell is not going
to be all pretty tied up with a
bow.
We're going to have to sweat and struggle
and sacrifice.
And when I say sacrifice, I mean sacrifice
(21:40):
the status quo.
Not that we have to continue to do
without, because those days are gone.
But what we do have to do is
accept that those sacrifices of our current identity,
our current status quo, our current comfort zone
(22:01):
are going to have to be sacrificed in
order to build and create something bigger.
You know, you can feel it.
You know when you are seeing what is
happening within our world, whether it is our
environment like the tides and the oceans changing
(22:24):
direction, or technology or government or financial or
medical, I mean, it does not matter.
You cannot deny that all of this is
happening.
So the question remains, what are you going
to do about it?
(22:44):
How are you going to live in your
life?
And what are you going to bring to
the world?
I know that when I found what my
purpose was, which was to stop trying to
be the nice girl, to bring my true
voice, my true passion, my true power, that
(23:08):
was tough.
That scared me.
I have lived under the crap of our
condition responses and automatic programming my entire life.
It makes me think about Marianne Williamson and
Nelson Mandela when he quoted her and said
(23:29):
that we are not afraid of us being
so small.
We are afraid of how big and powerful
we truly are because we have been trained
to play small.
Women are moving away from the status quo.
(23:50):
We are owning our voice, our autonomy, our
integration, our alignment.
There are some men that I am seeing
who are coming on board and saying, I'm
tired.
I'm tired of the old.
But I'm also seeing people, men, women, children,
(24:14):
who have not allowed themselves to own their
own power.
And they want to be taken care of.
And in that taking care of means they
want things to go back to the way
they used to be, go back to the
small, the comfort zones.
(24:40):
We can try.
But you're swimming uphill, literally swimming uphill.
It is going to exhaust you.
The flow is against you.
And you will have only limited amount of
(25:02):
energy and stamina to do that kind of
crazy work.
But if you let go, if you look
around at the signs and the energy and
the flow, if you choose to go inward
and find your own power and give it
(25:26):
as a gift to the world, now, now
everything is possible.
So while I sometimes do scroll and see
what is happening and the crazy things that
I'm watching and seeing and feeling the fears
of our world, I am also at the
(25:49):
same time celebrating all the other signs from
the Schumann resonance to the changes in our
planets to socioeconomic things like women becoming empowered
with entrepreneurship.
I'm seeing the rise of the positive to
(26:10):
offset the negative.
And I challenge each and every one of
us.
When we are feeling disconnected from ourselves, and
when we are feeling powerless and small, and
we are looking for other things and other
(26:31):
people to do things that will make our
lives easier, challenge yourself to say, is this
my path?
Or am I trying to fit my old
(26:52):
version of me into the new version that's
being called forward?
We're in for some bumpy times.
But those bumpy times can either be waves
crashing against us, or they can be the
roller coaster or the surfboard that we ride
(27:14):
and we rise and we level up.
My name is Kathy Baldwin.
This has been another segment of Unfiltered Fire
Fridays on the Unlearn the Crap podcast.
Come back every Friday, where I'm going to
connect what is happening with us internally with
(27:38):
what is happening externally within our current events.
And welcome back to five days a week
of Unlearn the Crap and level up your
soulless calling.
We are going to be talking about everything
that affects us so that we can each
find the part of us that belongs to
(28:01):
be leveled up.
Welcome.
Welcome to the new you.
I cannot wait.
We've crossed a line.
And we're not going back.
This is Kathy Baldwin.
And this is Unlearn the Crap and level
up your soul's calling.
(28:21):
Have an amazing day.
Hi everybody, welcome to Unlearn the Crap and
Level Up Your Soul is Calling.
Today's segment is Unfiltered Fire Friday and today
is a really unique conversation.
I want to tie what is happening in
(00:24):
the world energetically, spiritually, astrologically, with what is
happening with us as a society, as the
feminine rising, as women becoming empowered.
Let me start with the energetic and the
(00:46):
what I can't stand it when people call
it woo-woo, because I believe that woo

The shamanic resonance is an ability to measure

It's affected by us collectively, and we are

It is affected by that which is happening

And I believe it's also what is going

We know it.
It's there.
But we don't necessarily be able to articulate

And so I encourage you to go and
check out the shamanic resonance field.
When you're feeling something and wonder, is this

Or is this within me?
Is this a field that I'm being affected
(03:01):
by, like the change of seasons?
We will feel the wind, the rain, the
snow, the sleet.
We feel the hurricanes, the tornadoes, even if
we can't see and touch them, that we

And this is the same.
And when we combine it with what is

But now we have in our astrological charts,
Uranus has just moved into Gemini.
This has not happened in this placement for

Now, the other thing that is so amazing
is that women are saying, 93% of
(11:08):
them are saying that they are getting more
satisfaction, more time, more freedom from going out
on their own.
Now, this ties directly to what I've been
saying in Unlearn the Crap, and that we're
all being called to find what our unique
perspective, our unique zone of genius, what our
(11:34):
experience, what we have to bring.
Because even though we may be bringing a
similar thing to the world, it is impossible
for any one of us to bring it
the same way, at the same time, with
the same effect, because we all have a
(11:56):
unique proposition for the world.
And the world is asking for each and
every one of us to bring it.
Now, what are the challenges that are happening
with this?
We're finding that women who are trying to
(12:17):
do things in that old masculine way of
I will win at the expense of you,
that I will do whatever it takes, that
the ends justify the means, they may be
successful in the short term, but that cannot
(12:37):
last in the long term.
So, where does that leave us?
If we're not going to work in the
hustle and the bustle and the push at
all expense, how do we become more successful?
Because the truth is that even though there
are that many women who are joining entrepreneurship,
(12:59):
who are finding their voice, who are finding
their place, we are not keeping up with
the same quality of remuneration.
Women are not making the same amount of
money as men still in 2025.
(13:19):
This is crazy.
And what is even crazier is I am
seeing the undoing of progress that is happening
around the world.
There are forces that are trying to claw
women back, hold them back and say, no,
(13:41):
you are taking too much of the pie.
Because they believe that there is only so
much.
And that if we succeed, then that takes
something away from them.
That is so not true.
I cannot breathe too much air that it's
(14:03):
going to take air away from you.
I cannot stand under the rain and feel
the raindrops hitting me and have you sacrifice
by not getting your fair share of the
rain.
There is enough.
There's more than enough for each and every
one of us.
But it requires that we stand up and
(14:25):
claim it.
I'm going to be a little bit personal
here.
Yes, I had to think about my words.
Recently, this podcast was on a hiatus.
It's been on a hiatus for about six
(14:46):
weeks.
I'm so glad to be back here doing
my first Unfiltered Fire Friday in quite a
few weeks.
It was happening because of systems outside of
me.
And I was working within the old systems.
(15:09):
I was trying to do what had worked
before, which was to be agreeable, to be
nice, to try to accommodate the things and
people and the circumstances that were happening around
me.
But when I realized that I needed to
(15:29):
step up, level up, and do things, the
empowered version of Kathy, not the nice, easygoing
girl, but the one who said, I claim,
I own, I choose, that's when things started
(15:51):
to move.
That's when those external circumstances that were keeping
me from being able to share my voice
were removed.
Well, now I get to step up and
own my own voice, own my place.
(16:13):
That comes with a level of responsibility and
accountability that we all must choose to have.
Because to own your own voice, to be
in homeostasis, to be in personal alignment, so
that you can bring your purpose, your passion,
your peace to the world.
(16:36):
So that you can enjoy the joys and
the feelings of freedom and expansion that requires
that you also step out of the old
version of yourself.
The old version that got you as far
(16:56):
as you are.
Because that version of you is not going
to take you to the next level.
But you do have something special, something unique.
You know it.
You can feel it.
You can feel the calling.
(17:18):
It may scare the living hell out of
you.
And that's good.
Because if it does, then that is telling
you you are going in the right direction.
Because the comfort zone won't scare you.
The tried, the true, the things you've known
(17:39):
and experienced all of your life, they're not
going to scare you.
They're not going to challenge you.
They're not going to push you.
And it is only those things that come
into our world that take us out, that
challenge us, that make us say no more.
(18:02):
I'm going to do this.
I'm going to level up.
That's the calling that is happening.
I have been doing some major research on
where my part, where our part lies in
(18:23):
the world leveling up.
What would it take, I wondered, for us
to actually step in and expedite this change
that's happening so that we're not stuck in
this purgatory.
Because we're not where we were, but we're
not where we're going.
We're somewhere in the middle.
(18:43):
And that middle part creates tension and chaos
and conflict.
And you know that I believe that if
each and every one of us steps up
into our place in this world, and we
live in personal alignment, and we are all
(19:08):
having all of our needs and wants met,
and we're independent, and we're accountable, and we're
responsible, there's no place for war.
There's no place for hatred or bigotry or
any of these other negative forces that are
(19:31):
coming out in droves right now.
The level of hatred that is coming tells
me how much the power of what is
good is coming.
We live in a world of polarity.
(19:52):
If there is this much good that is
coming, there must be equal amount of the
opposite.
That evil, that hatred, that anger, that fight,
those fears, the control, that is growing exponentially
(20:15):
because of how much power and love and
peace and joy is also coming.
And we cannot, we cannot level up at
the same place that we are.
And so we will see this conflict.
(20:36):
And we will have these challenges.
And we will have to face it.
And the old ways will not work.
I encourage every single person who is hearing
this to go inward, to go to the
(20:58):
place where there is true empowerment, your own
energy, your own vision, your dreams, your feelings,
your mission, your soul's calling, and bring it
out.
And accept that it's not going to all
(21:18):
be pretty.
That's not all going to be easy.
And it sure as hell is not going
to be all pretty tied up with a
bow.
We're going to have to sweat and struggle
and sacrifice.
And when I say sacrifice, I mean sacrifice
(21:40):
the status quo.
Not that we have to continue to do
without, because those days are gone.
But what we do have to do is
accept that those sacrifices of our current identity,
our current status quo, our current comfort zone
(22:01):
are going to have to be sacrificed in
order to build and create something bigger.
You know, you can feel it.
You know when you are seeing what is
happening within our world, whether it is our
environment like the tides and the oceans changing
(22:24):
direction, or technology or government or financial or
medical, I mean, it does not matter.
You cannot deny that all of this is
happening.
So the question remains, what are you going
to do about it?
(22:44):
How are you going to live in your
life?
And what are you going to bring to
the world?
I know that when I found what my
purpose was, which was to stop trying to
be the nice girl, to bring my true
voice, my true passion, my true power, that
(23:08):
was tough.
That scared me.
I have lived under the crap of our
condition responses and automatic programming my entire life.
It makes me think about Marianne Williamson and
Nelson Mandela when he quoted her and said
(23:29):
that we are not afraid of us being
so small.
We are afraid of how big and powerful
we truly are because we have been trained
to play small.
Women are moving away from the status quo.
(23:50):
We are owning our voice, our autonomy, our
integration, our alignment.
There are some men that I am seeing
who are coming on board and saying, I'm
tired.
I'm tired of the old.
But I'm also seeing people, men, women, children,
(24:14):
who have not allowed themselves to own their
own power.
And they want to be taken care of.
And in that taking care of means they
want things to go back to the way
they used to be, go back to the
small, the comfort zones.
(24:40):
We can try.
But you're swimming uphill, literally swimming uphill.
It is going to exhaust you.
The flow is against you.
And you will have only limited amount of
(25:02):
energy and stamina to do that kind of
crazy work.
But if you let go, if you look
around at the signs and the energy and
the flow, if you choose to go inward
and find your own power and give it
(25:26):
as a gift to the world, now, now
everything is possible.
So while I sometimes do scroll and see
what is happening and the crazy things that
I'm watching and seeing and feeling the fears
of our world, I am also at the
(25:49):
same time celebrating all the other signs from
the Schumann resonance to the changes in our
planets to socioeconomic things like women becoming empowered
with entrepreneurship.
I'm seeing the rise of the positive to
(26:10):
offset the negative.
And I challenge each and every one of
us.
When we are feeling disconnected from ourselves, and
when we are feeling powerless and small, and
we are looking for other things and other
(26:31):
people to do things that will make our
lives easier, challenge yourself to say, is this
my path?
Or am I trying to fit my old
(26:52):
version of me into the new version that's
being called forward?
We're in for some bumpy times.
But those bumpy times can either be waves
crashing against us, or they can be the
roller coaster or the surfboard that we ride
(27:14):
and we rise and we level up.
My name is Kathy Baldwin.
This has been another segment of Unfiltered Fire
Fridays on the Unlearn the Crap podcast.
Come back every Friday, where I'm going to
connect what is happening with us internally with
(27:38):
what is happening externally within our current events.
And welcome back to five days a week
of Unlearn the Crap and level up your
soulless calling.
We are going to be talking about everything
that affects us so that we can each
find the part of us that belongs to
(28:01):
be leveled up.
Welcome.
Welcome to the new you.
I cannot wait.
We've crossed a line.
And we're not going back.
This is Kathy Baldwin.
And this is Unlearn the Crap and level
up your soul's calling.
(28:21):
Have an amazing day.
