Hi,
welcome
to Unlearn the Crap and Level Up Your
Soul is Calling.
My name is Kathy Baldwin.
(00:24):
To be really honest with you, I don't
know if I'm ever going to actually air
this.
If you look at me right now, I
am not camera ready.
I threw on a little bit of lipstick,
but something happened that I felt I just
needed to talk about, and document, and put
(00:47):
down into words.
And so if I choose in the future
to share this with you, great.
But I don't even know what's going to
come out of my mouth right now.
Let me backtrack a little bit.
Today is July the 9th, 2025.
(01:09):
In the last 24 hours, there has been
a massive, massive surge on the Schumann Resonance
Scale.
The Schumann Resonance Scale measures the breath, the
vitality, the electromagnetic field of our Earth.
(01:34):
It's affected by things like what's happening on
our Earth.
For example, the Schumann Resonance Field, it reacted
when 9-11 happened.
It had a massive reaction when we found
out that Princess Diana had been killed in
that tragic car accident.
(01:56):
It's affected by sun flare-ups of things
that are happening with the sun.
We are an electromagnetic field.
That's what we are at the core of
everything.
And we live in an electromagnetic environment.
(02:18):
We are biochemical beings.
We think we're this skin and this flesh,
but we're not.
We're all so interconnected.
And there is something really major that is
happening.
And I'm learning to listen to my body.
It's something I say all the time.
(02:40):
If you're in my life, you have heard
me say, listen to your body.
If you're tired, sleep.
If you're hungry, eat.
Whatever it is, listen to your body.
Don't push.
Because I know firsthand what happens when you
don't listen to your body.
And you just have your mind and your
(03:01):
willpower override everything that is happening to you
and your body.
And when we start to go into flow
of what is actually happening, we let go
and we release.
So there's been a lot of things that
have been happening to me lately.
And part of what's been happening has had
(03:25):
me step away from my podcast.
I've been away from my podcast for about
six weeks now.
It was not a choice that I chose.
And so as I was looking at this
time, I was trying to figure out, okay,
universe, what's happening?
Are you purposely giving me time and space
(03:50):
to do other things that are happening?
And I had signed a publishing deal a
while ago with my publisher, She Rises Studios,
for my third book.
But I had the concept and I'd had
the ideas and everything was there and I
(04:11):
was building on it, but I wasn't ready
to write it.
And then this happened.
And at the same time, I ended up,
because of a whole series of things that
are going on, had a very strong deadline
that all of a sudden I needed to
hit.
And so I dropped everything that I was
(04:31):
doing and I focused in on the book.
And I powered through and I worked and
I created something that I am so beyond
proud of.
Not only is this book bigger than I
thought it was going to be, and the
message is even better, and it has exceeded
(04:56):
anything that I ever expected or anticipated.
The release date is September 9th and I'm
so excited because that'll be 9-9.
And if we do it even farther numerology,
September 9th, 2025 is a 9-9-9.
And we have all these amazing things happening
(05:18):
like Uranus coming into Gemini just the other
day.
We've got this surge happening with the Schumann
resonance.
We have this forced hiatus of my podcast.
The just explosion of this new book.
And in the same time, I had this
(05:41):
insight and this amazing, powerful vision of something
else that I was building.
And it is a whole business system that
allows podcasters like me, and other podcasters, maybe
(06:01):
you're one of them, to find a way
to really be finally independent, finally prosperous, finally
bring your voice to the world.
It's actually called Finally.
And I'm in the process of finishing that
up and bringing that to the world.
(06:23):
I realized that I finally have a TED
Talk in me.
It's something I've always wondered about.
Is that me?
Do I have something special, something unique, ideas
worth sharing that would be worth on TED?
I put in my first TED Talk application.
There's a lot happening.
(06:44):
And I'm going to circle back to where
I was in the beginning with the Schumann
resonance.
The energy was so strong that even though
I had these goals and dreams of things
I wanted to do, my body was like,
not today, not today.
(07:07):
And so I struggled with guilt of just
laying around and watching TV or napping, because
my body just was not going to respond.
My brain was not thinking.
And this morning, I woke up, and I
knew.
I knew today was the day.
(07:29):
And today, I claimed my voice.
Today, I claimed my sovereignty.
Today, I had a whole bunch of things
happen, not the way I planned, not how
I wanted.
There were things and people and circumstances that
were happening that were beyond my control, because
(07:50):
what people say and do is what people
say and do.
That has nothing to do with me.
But sometimes I, and like you, are affected
by other people's choices.
And today, I said, no more.
No more.
I'm not going to sit around and wait
and be helpless for somebody else to give
(08:12):
me my voice, to give me permission to
be autonomous, to be sovereign, to claim my
destiny.
I was tired of waiting helplessly for things
to happen that I felt powerless.
And so when I declared, no more, today,
(08:34):
today's the day, today's the day I stand
up, today's the day I make it happen.
It did.
And the release that has happened, both energetically
for me personally, the fact that I'm showing
up here on camera without any makeup, I'm
prepared, totally emotional.
(08:56):
I know I'm emotional.
I know I'm charged.
Sharing with you the behind the scenes of
what this journey has meant to me, what
has been released, what's coming.
This is exciting.
And as I was processing my emotions, of
(09:18):
what all just occurred, I realized that all
those challenges, all those things I was dealing
with, all of the sacrifices, the pain, the
conflicts, everything that was happening, it wasn't in
my way.
It was the way.
(09:40):
I needed to overcome those things in order
to level up.
They were my step.
They were what I needed to overcome in
order for me to level up.
And that staying quiet and the good girl,
and waiting for other people to do the
(10:02):
right thing, or to do their part, or
whatever it was, is part of the old
crap that I still am unlearning.
Hell, I just turned 60 years old.
I got a lot of ingrained crap that
I may have addressed and articulated and began
(10:24):
to address.
But the old stuff is going to be
bubbling up probably for the rest of my
life because they are so ingrained.
They've got a lot of practice of being
the good girl, of being quiet, of being
easygoing, of not owning my own voice.
(10:47):
I feel compelled to tell this story, even
though it doesn't sound the most positive.
Well, it wasn't.
You see, when I was growing up, I
struggled to speak.
Not physically.
(11:08):
It's not like I had a stutter or
anything.
It was that people would talk over top
of me.
They would interrupt me.
They would make fun of the fact that
I was struggling to get my point across
because the more they interrupted, the more frustrated
I got.
The more frustrated I got, the more entertaining
(11:29):
I seemed to be for those around me.
And I would lose respect by those people
around me because I could not get my
voice out.
I couldn't speak through a full thought without
losing the power of my own voice.
(11:52):
My podcast is my finding my voice.
My books are my finding my voice.
Me choosing to allow myself to dream bigger
and allow these visions of what is possible
to happen, visions and dreams that scare the
(12:15):
living bejesus out of me because I've played
small most of my life.
I've put everyone and everything ahead of myself.
I've believed in other people's visions and I've
sacrificed for them over and over again.
Even recently, there have been situations in people
(12:38):
that I believe so much in their vision
and their business that I sacrifice my own
for them.
In the thought of collaboration, of being in
the environment, of sharing in something so big
and powerful that I believed in it, even
(12:59):
if it wasn't my own voice.
That all ended today.
Today.
I had to phone somebody.
I had to phone a friend.
Kind of like that show, do you want
to phone a friend?
(13:19):
Because I knew I was emotionally charged and
I knew I needed to get that energy
out of me.
I've always believed something that Oprah used to
say all the time, which was, Oprah didn't
need to have therapy because she had her
friend Gail.
I reached out to a friend and said,
I need a Gail.
Will you be my Gail?
(13:41):
What I got back was I was heard
and I was accepted, but I was also
shown the possibilities and the belief in what
I'm doing.
It's amazing.
(14:03):
I'm sharing this here on this video recording.
Like I said, I don't know if I'll
post it because I want to put into
reality.
This is happening and we are all being
called to level up and bring our voices
(14:27):
and those challenges and those things and those
conflicts and everything that feels like it's in
our way and we are feeling overwhelmed and
what do we do and how do we
handle this and what is going on and
why is it happening this way?
None of that really matters because it's what
we do about it and do we own
(14:49):
what we can do to make things happen?
Do we level up?
I did.
I did.
It's not how I wanted it to happen.
I had this vision of how it was
all going to be all pretty and not
ruffle any feathers and do it the good
(15:10):
easy way, but just because it didn't happen
the way the old Kathy wanted it to
happen, I made it happen.
When I think about it, there was so
many times in my past where I had
(15:31):
to be pushed to a point of no
longer saying, okay, let me know when, okay,
whatever, I'll be here, just let me know
and I said, no, this is not right.
This is what must happen.
This is what I am claiming.
(15:54):
This is the way it's going to be
and I chose to step into my own
path and walk my own walk.
And there's quite a few times in my
past where I made shit happen because I
stood up.
There was one case, all these memories are
(16:15):
coming back into my head right now as
I'm talking about this because this is absolutely
not a planned podcast in any way, shape
or form, but I remember there was a
legal situation where somebody had signed a legal
intent to buy my mother's car.
(16:36):
And my mother had left the country, my
father had left the country and they had
expected this person to keep their end of
the bargain.
But this person did not.
They didn't live up to their word.
And so no matter how many times my
parents had tried to say, hey, wait a
(16:57):
minute, we went in good faith with this
agreement and you were supposed to hold up
your end of it.
And this person felt, obviously, because my parents
had left the country and he had possession
of the car, he could do whatever he
wanted.
(17:18):
I went to the courthouse and I remember
asking the person behind the wicket at the
courthouse and I said, this is what's happening.
Here's all my documentation.
I'm not a lawyer.
I'm just a person.
(17:38):
What do we do?
How do I handle this?
And the person said, wow, well, you fill
out this form and you use this language
and you do this and we'll take care
of the rest.
Oh, and pay this fee, of course.
So I did everything.
Use the legal jargon that I'd never heard
(18:00):
of before.
And I got a judge order saying, yes,
you're right.
And you may repossess this car.
So I took this court order to a
sheriff and the sheriff went and repossessed the
car.
And I was right there waiting for the
(18:22):
car to be taken out of this person's
possession.
And this person was screaming, you can't do
this.
We're not in Russia.
And I remember the sheriff saying, but you
have to pay your bills.
You have to hold up your end of
the contract.
Now, it's actually quite funny, the story, because
(18:44):
as I drove away in the car, this
person had kept it.
It was a beautiful Lincoln car, white, Mark
4, Mark 7, one of those gorgeous, sexy
car.
But he obviously felt that he didn't own
it.
He didn't need to take care of it.
He didn't even take the plates off of
(19:04):
it.
And so he didn't even put power steering
fluid into it.
So when I drove away, I couldn't crank.
I was pulling on the steering wheel to
get it to turn.
And that's what happens.
That's what happens when someone doesn't own something
(19:28):
and they don't cherish it and they don't
respect it.
And when you don't hold up your end
of the bargain, and when you find your
voice and you say, no, no, no, no,
I'm going to hold to a standard of
agreement, and I'm going to own what's mine.
(19:49):
The car became mine because my mother said,
you have full power of attorney.
If you can get the car, it's yours.
So I did.
And today, that's happened in spades in so
many areas of my life.
I'm beyond, beyond, and beyond.
(20:15):
It's a new chapter.
It's a new world for me.
There's a lot coming.
My new book will be released in September.
I'm really proud of it.
It is using unlearn the crap philosophy with
AI.
My business systems for podcasters so that they
(20:38):
can run their business, have their voice, have
their power without being dragged down by everything.
That's coming in August.
I'm working on so many different things.
My podcast is going independent.
I'm going to have my own voice.
(20:58):
There are so many areas of my life
that are coming together.
And just like that Shuman residence that just
happened, where it was leveling us up, and
the earth was shaking us up out of
complacency and saying, it's time to step up.
(21:19):
Because what we just dealt with wasn't in
our way.
It was that way.
I hope I have the courage to post
this.
Because this was pretty raw, and this was
pretty vulnerable.
And I believe in leading by vulnerability.
(21:39):
I hope you can feel and see the
true, authentic voice that I have right now.
I hope you can feel the power of
what it feels like to finally step in
fully and take the next level up step.
And I hope for my own sake, that
(22:02):
I've had enough level up that has happened,
that I'll recognize it faster and sooner.
So the next step that comes, I won't
hang on to the good quiet girl for
too long.
That I won't give my power away.
Because the world is changing so fast.
(22:26):
We're all being called to level up.
There's so much chaos that's going on.
It is up to us.
And we cannot fix it externally.
By going through external ways, we must go
internally.
(22:47):
We must level up ourselves.
We must own our voice.
We must own our power.
We must own our empowerment.
We must.
My name is Kathy Baldwin.
And this is Unlearn the Crap and Level
Up.
Because your soul is calling.
