Well thank you for making the time. I do appreciate it. Why don't you take a moment and let everyone know a little bit about your background. Well in the spiritual world I have been working with energy and divine beings and tarot cards and crystals and all that great fun stuff in sort of the metaphysical world for about 35 years. And yeah and I retired from my career about six years ago and a couple of years into my retirement after traveling and having a ball. I just really had this huge urge to come back and be what I essentially am is an energy healer. I love doing that with people. I love working with them. I get divine readings and we clear a lot of their blockages in their body and it's really quite enlightening. Excellent. And then fast forward I my business I've evolved it to more one to many and now I'm teaching because my career was teaching. So I'm teaching more how to help people ascend how to help people evolve. Okay. And yeah, spiritual way. Excellent. So I can't help but notice a little bit of an accent. Where are you located. I'm Canadian. I'm in Calgary, Alberta, which is just north of Montana. I'm snuggled in the Rocky Mountains. Excellent. Well, isn't technology grand? I mean, the fact that we can talk to people all over the world is amazing to me. So let's go ahead and dive on in a little bit here because I know that your practice is really based on helping people get over that hump, the spiritual plateau. Why don't we talk a little bit about that and what's involved with it. And actually, what does it mean on a spiritual or metaphysical level when somebody hits a wall? I think what happens is, you know, people get into, you know, beautiful practices like yoga and positive affirmations and, you know, really trying to nurture their soul trying to nurture their body trying to nurture their feelings. And this is part of their awakening realizing, hey, there's something bigger than just what I see every day. There's something bigger within me than just this role I've been playing, you know, in my family and in my career. And they start to do these beautiful things and small shifts start to happen. But there gets to a point, I think, in their evolution and I think it's very natural where they have questions to, they need answers to, so deeper life questions. Like, why am I here really? Like, who am I? Sure. You know, what's the spiritualness body part of me? You know, did I come from somewhere else? Like, what is my purpose here? And it's a beautiful time of natural progression to go deeper and deeper into why you're here, who you are, how the cosmos work, all that sort of exploration. And that's sort of like the next level up. And I say, I work with people who have plateaued from the feeling good stage and having fun experimenting with different things. And I did too. It's like spiritual kindergarten. You try to have different methods and traditions and practices. Yeah, to, okay, I need to go deeper. I need to really know what's going on here. And that's what I went through myself to. Okay, well, thank you. I was just, as you were discussing it, and we're all energetic beings, right? I'm wondering what happens. What's that feeling energetically when somebody hits that plateau? It is sort of, like you said, we're all energy, even the physical part of us is just condensed energy. We have energy fields around our body, we have energetic centers and channels in our body. And I think what starts to happen when you're starting off and you're doing these things that are starting to open up energy channels in your body. So maybe you do some chakra clearing, or maybe you go for a reiki session, or maybe you sit in meditation every morning. What happens is it starts to move out all energetic blocks and also starts to shift your mind in understanding a new reality. And our outer bodies, our subtle bodies are consistent of include, I should say, the mental and the emotional body. Those have to be really quite clear to get to our outer body, which is our spirit body. That's our soul connection. That's our room we go into when we want to work with our soul, when we want to work with divine beings. It's much clear in there. Let's put it that way. So now we have to work through mental stuff, we have to work through emotional stuff. And, but on an energetic level, like from an energetic perspective, as opposed to traditional therapies. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. So you had mentioned you've been doing this for 35 plus years. And through doing my research, I had seen that you had said that you were born with the site. And you're saying the thing that I found interesting was that you said, born with the site, rather than the site. And you were born with the site, rather than awakening to those abilities. What was your childhood like then? When you were able to see all these things that other people couldn't see or experience? You know, and I think anyone else listening right now who had maybe the same childhood experiences and there's many, they call this empathetic kids. Yeah, all that sort of stuff is my dad said I used to walk around with knitted eyebrows all the time. And, and, and that was probably I was trying to figure things out, because I could see things I could sense things I could read people. But you don't know you're doing it, you just think that is just the, the information that's coming into your body, right? And as a child, you, you can't process those things. And so I think I was just a little overloaded, and it was very sensitive in that way. But yeah, I mean, my, my whole, I reside, you know, we're psychic. I mean, I know that seems to be a taboo word anymore, but I'm bringing it back. I'm making it sexy again. It's like it. I'm bringing the word psychic back as opposed to, you know, intuitively, yes. No, you're psychic, you know, and it's, and that means you just pick up on messages quite easily. So I had that wiring and I think many people do. I had that wiring and I'm here to help people bring that wiring back up to snuff so that they're able to channel this well. Yeah. So I think, I think, and then I think it really bothered me in my teens because now I, it's not only, and this applies to everybody. And this is really something people need to think about is we absorb energy like sponges. So if we're just this big ball of energy walking around in this world that's full of energy and we walk by another person who's a big ball of energy, we pick up their, their energy in a shopping mall or we have an argument with somebody, then there's energy cords connecting to us and we're picking up their energy. Imagine never clearing that out. And I think that's one of the biggest things out there in terms of people are confused or upset. They can't process things. Why am I feeling like this today? I was fine this morning. And I think as a child, so by my teenage years, I was probably pretty overloaded of absorbing and absorbing. And then I just moved into, you know, drugs and alcohol. Not my teens in my early 20s, right? Just numbing all that stuff until I was about 32. And I discovered all these beautiful spiritual practices and Eastern philosophy. And I went, wait a minute. Well, I have a question for you because I have a number of friends that are Irish Catholic and first and second generation here. I'm curious to know what your family thought about that because I know how some of my friends families actually respond to even my podcast. It's not even that I'm bringing, you know, psychic abilities or, you know, anything like that into the household. But just talking about having a podcast, they have a visceral response at times. So I'm curious to know what that was like in your family. Well, growing up, you know, from the Celtic stem family area, all my, my grandmother, my aunts were all psychic openly. So it was a natural thing. Really? So, yeah, they would, they, my dad would tell me stories when they're all growing up, you know, one of the sisters would wake up with a dream and it always came true. So they'd listen to what they dreamt at nighttime. You know, my dad swears when he was a little kid, he saw the we folk. So it's very, it was very normal and they're in their Catholic as well. Okay. And so then in my growing up household, my mom had premonitions. She never really practiced it, but she'd have these premonitions. And my dad was just, yeah, he was, it was very much part of our family. And I remember him did, just say to me once when I started to explore spirituality. Maybe, yeah, around early 30s, late, late 20s. And he said, be careful kid, don't go too far. Meaning there is the whole dark side, which I've come to learn about and how to protect yourselves. Because, yeah, when you start to open yourself up like that, and you do attract, and you can be manipulated. Yeah, so I just, I understand now what he meant then. But, and there's also black magic, which I'm not into any of that. I deal with the light, I deal with divine. That's my choice. I could go that way. I, you know, I could cast curses if I wanted to. I do not do that. Because once you do that, you're attracting the same back to you. Yeah, you know what, you kind of surprised me with that. I was actually thinking there was going to be a, hey, don't talk about that. Don't, don't, don't say those things. But that's really fascinating to me that even then, like growing up, it was accepted. You don't hear that very often, to be honest. That's, that's something. That's something. So I know that you have a new book coming out and some of the topics that are in the book itself. From our pre-show conversation, you had mentioned divine ascension. So what I'd like you to do if you don't mind is talk about divine ascension or maybe the mechanics of rising or what have you. Can you do that? Absolutely. Divine ascension starts with divine awareness. And it is really embracing and believing that you are a spiritual being and a human body. That you're here for a reason in terms of a soul contract. You're coming down here to learn some lessons. And we're able to do that because in the spiritual realms and the unseen world is very hard for them to accelerate into their learnings and expansion. But coming down into this, you know, 4D container of a body, a human body and playing with emotions and playing with mental struggles and living in a messy world. It is a thing to do. The fact that this is what I'm learning there. And I do go into more serious studies with all this. And it's from ancient traditions that I learned this stuff. I'm just not making it up. We're highly regarded for coming down here and dealing with all this down here. But as we evolve, as we learn how to deal with problems, as we expand our wisdom, as we open our awareness to how things are working between us and the cosmos and why we're here, it's a game changer because you realize. And then the real trick is after that is, how do I marry my spiritual life with my human life? Right. And that's what I really try to help people with because I struggle for years with it. So there's there are a couple of things that you had mentioned earlier when you were describing divine ascension. Number one, you said you mentioned soul contracts. I guess I've mentioned soul contracts in the past, but I don't know that there's ever been an explanation or a follow up. So when you're talking about a soul contract, what do you mean by that? A soul contract is in your spiritual essence, in your spiritual form before you come and incarnate into a human being, you're soul that you and your soul are the same person. So you're the soul and you're evolving too up there. There's a whole layers of dimension and ascension up in the unseen world as well. There's angelic realms, there's hierarchies, I should say. And so when you decide to come down to earth, you go, OK, these are the things I want to keep building on so that my energetic essence, my energy field, my energy structure, which I teach about, becomes more lighter. Right. So I get rid of some blocks. For example, I'll give you an example. I've been really struggling with over my life and it keeps coming up and it's from my past lives. And I'll share how I come up with that is abandonment. I mean, a lot of people have this notion of abandonment. And I can see it sometimes play out in my current life. So maybe that's one of the things I came in to do. I want to come in and I want to resolve this issue of abandonment because we're all one. There's one big consciousness, one big energetic intellectual swimming pool. Right. We're all in this. That's the highest ascension. I believe you can go to and I don't have all the answers. Believe me. I did. I don't think I'd be here on earth. But I kept coming up in my past lives like horrible experiences. I was I had leprosy once I lived in the leper colony. I was left to die in a cave. Right. You know, different, different lifetimes, right. Abandoned. There's people in my life right now who we had flipped roles. Maybe my sister, I can't remember if my sister was my mother. I hear that the soul families usually they didn't treat me well. You know, they were cruel to me. They weren't loving. And so I have seen that repeat in this lifetime with people close to me. And I'm finally starting to get it. So what do you do with the issue of abandonment? You increase yourself love. You increase your awareness like, wait a minute, I have these amazing sphere guides around me. I've got the love of the universe, jealous presence. You know, you start to go through this growth. And this is this is just an example. So maybe that's one of the things I needed to learn. I'm down here. So I'm going to dive deeper into that. Right. And what do I do to now? And now that I'm aware of that, I'm going to keep nurturing that. But at the same time, I'm going, I also have amazing people around me who don't give me that sense of they're going to abandon me or hurt me. I'm focusing on them. The rest, I'll be a, you know, casual acquaintance, you know, even if they're a family member, it's like, I'll see you twice a year. I'll be cordial. So with the divine ascension, it seems whenever someone has an awakening or during the awakening process, there's some sort of supreme suffering or crisis that plays a role in that. Are you seeing that with with your clients that they discuss those sort of things and then have to clean up that past trauma before they can move on? Yeah, if they're at that point, and they may have already, you know, moved on to some of it, or are starting to be more empathetic with themselves around an issue. And it's easier to delve into a sticky emotional challenge. If you can start to build up yourself love and acceptance first, because then you can look at it more objectively. And that's what I teach us to is like how to work with your emotions energetically and get out into those bodies. Sometimes you just need to clean junk out of your energy feels that isn't even really yours, or it's so old, it should have been long gone, you know, but still hanging around energetically. That's why energy work I'm seeing more and more is so important. And this energy feel this energy structure is the only thing that moves on to the next life, or wherever you're going after this. That is so important. So now it's a good time to clean up your house as much as you can in this lifetime. I mean, we're not all going to become a beautiful ascended masters and gurus. Right. Right. Yeah, I wouldn't want to as a. Yeah, that's that's quite a responsibility I would imagine to. So you. You had actually started to talk about how to bring that spiritual life into your normal life, or your every I shouldn't say normal life because spirituality becomes the norm in people's lives. But a human connection there. I know that that was another area that's going to be hit pretty heavily in your upcoming book, Human Connection. And really, I view it as a paradox of going higher while staying here. Well, let's talk about that a little bit that that human connection and how that the inner workings of spirituality and. Us in on this 4D plane that we're on. Yes, I think it's a fascinating topic and I've just been noticing the thing. A lot of people will work on the three things I talk about in my book, they'll either work on the divine awareness and ascension. They'll work on energy mastery, like I've been talking about, you know, working with your energy field, or they'll work on the embodiment part. Or two of those, but not all three. I think you need all three. We are spiritual beings and a human body working with energy fields. So I'm going to connect exactly. And so that's the marrying that's starting to go on. So when you're talking about the human body, first of all, just this is essence of like billions of cells that are like miraculously working and. Picking up on again, energy and intelligence and like the body is just amazing just starting with that alone and it's able to function on its own. And then I also move into now your ancestral bloodlines, your inherited behaviors, your the wisdom that they had like it could fill a football field of people, your ancestors are in your bloodline. And then I also start working with Mother Earth, Mother Earth, her rhythms connect with our rhythms. We are that's why we love going for walks, you know, on the beach and water, being in a park around trees, our body just responds to energy that comes from those things. And the animal kingdom, right? The messages they bring us. So this, this, this amazing platform environment that we live in and this body, this vehicle is so much more complex than, you know, I got to get up and go to work. And when we start to look at it that way, we start to play with different areas of that, and then connect the spirituality to it, right? And realize, okay, so I have this ability to experience life fully. And that's the messy stuff. That's the good stuff. That's the hard stuff. That's having a bunch of fun. That's enjoying pleasure. I mean, it's, it's just, that's the whole human side and you, and you need to find that core in you to go, I need to kick this out and really start to enjoy life a lot more. And it doesn't mean you, for those introverts who are panicking right now, it doesn't mean you've got to be out in the public. Change your personality, right? Exactly. It's not about that. It's about these small shifts that create new. At Simply Health, we know that workplace healthcare can feel like. We're currently experiencing a high core volume and you're in a queue. But now's the time to untangle it and go from inaccessible health to Simply Health. Support all employees with 24 seven access to GP and mental health support. Plus pay as you go services.

That's why road safety is so important to me. I know that I must slow down and be extra careful when I make a wide turn. Buses need more room than cars. Everyone can help keep our roads safe. Next time you're driving, remember to give buses plenty of time and space to finish turning before driving ahead. Let's all plan to share the road safely. Learn how at www.sharetheroadsafely.gov. Awakenings. So what's interesting here is, and I'll speak from my own perspective here, my own point of view, is that in relationships, you know, the people don't necessarily change or ascend together, or their frequency or vibrational levels are at different points or different levels. I'm wondering what that does to relationships. Does it make it make them harder, more difficult? Or how do you, and I'll just get right down to it, is how do you love someone who's vibrating at a completely different frequency than you are? Yeah, that is difficult. I remember when I first met my husband, which has been like 25 years now, and I was really upfront saying, listen, I'm into healing and psychic. And he says, yeah, I believe in the Fae. We have the Scottish background. And I went, okay, great. So I didn't expect him to be like that, but I most certainly was going to be like that. And so even to this day, he's very, very supportive of my business. I don't think he really understands the depth of what I go into. I don't share it with him because it's not his thing, but he's so supportive. And he knows I'm a healer. He knows I'm psychic. And my whole, you know, step family here that I've married into, they all know that. It's not a problem. I have to be that in order to survive. I would hide it for a long, long time. So I think what happens to Jim is when we start to awaken more and more, the tougher decisions start to come about, what do I need to align around me to support me? And maybe a difficult relationship is part of the sole contract. So, okay, I really need to move into this ability to accept on a whole other level. Maybe that's part of the emotional experiences somebody is supposed to go through in order to up that wisdom. And it crystallizes more in our energetic structure. So everything we do that's good and moving and awakening and growing, strengthens that energetic structure, that essence of who we are, our consciousness. So, yeah, it's, it's, it can be difficult. And I like to tell people just to end, I like to tell people that are a little afraid to jump into this whole new spiritual journey. You know, is there life going to radically change? And I'd say, don't, no, don't worry about that. As you start to grow, things are starting to shift. It could be very small things like, I'm just not going to watch movies like that anymore, because I really don't think it's good for my psyche. Or I really want to add church to my life or whatever. Right? Right. So it's these shifts where it's not this radical change, but it could come to the point where a relationship is just not fulfilling that person. And it's blocking them from growing after some deep reflection, you know. Yes, I was, I was actually going to ask you when you were talking about the, the what happens in these marriages, friendships, careers, when someone goes through a deep transformation such as this. You know, like when it comes to friendship, I've had a couple of friends that I've just cooled off from. And because I really noticed that they were manipulative and it was always about them. It was actually so subtle. And I, you know, when you kick yourself on, why didn't I see that before? Is that why I always felt, you know, sort of icky around this person? Is that why they sort of, sort of irritated me? And then you realize as you start to grow and maybe you start to see some of the challenges, like for the abandonment, that maybe that person was like, you want to be with me, you got to do all this stuff. Right? Yeah, ultimately. And it, but it was subtle. It wasn't like bully like it was subtle. And I just realized, no, I'm not doing that. You're not, you're not a very true friend and you're here. You're not a boss to me. Yeah. I'll wave at you on the street, but you know, not inviting you over dinner. Okay. So I know we've talked about energy and in the book, energy mastery and most people know about chakras and or is at a very surface level. After 35 years, what do you understand about energy that the beginner type books or what have you don't teach? I don't think they teach about that energetic structure and then how all the components within it that I've been talking about and how it all works together and how you can reach those other outer subtle bodies, which is lighter, lighter and lighter version of you that vibrates. That's where your frequency increases when you want to increase your frequency and vibration. How do you how do how to work with those by working with your chakras or working with different power points in your body to reach those and even through Prana healing, which is a beautiful method of energy healing, how to actually, you know, clear out some of those subtle bodies. Those are the ones that are your aura that people call them that are so important. And of course, so are your physical body. So if people have it, I'll even go extremely as people certain having mental health issues or people are starting to be burdened with this over ever looping emotion, or they're starting to get physically ill, it happens starts out in the subtle bodies. That's so in order to get there, you've got to start working with the chakras and the meridians channels and all that. So it sounds overwhelming, like, oh my gosh, where do you start and I just taught that in a masterclass yesterday, we did a guided journey visualization, I took them through really deep into doing a body scan with our healing guides. And it's like, hey, where's the most immediate point in my body? Do I need to have to heal? And one lady said, I have it went right to my, you know, lower abdomen and my stomach area and my intestines, she says, I have issues there. And I said, well, that's where the sacral chakra is. And that's the most loaded one when it comes to emotions and feelings of security and sexuality. That's all in there. Creativity and everything else. And I wasn't suggesting because I'm not a medical doctor, I'm a doctor of education is that could be one of the reasons, you know, why this is happening. And so time to delve into there, you can spend a lot of time just on that one beautiful chakra. And our chakras are amazing. They pack a huge punch of so many different complex levels of us from our creativity, like you said, we're feelings of security all the way up to divine connection to our expression to our sense of love, our drive. And they're really, really beautiful to work on. So it's not like, oh my gosh, how am I going to get all this cleaned up by next Saturday. It's not like that at all. You can't. It's not like that journey. But when you start to heal immediate pieces, when you really listen to your body, and you tap into your soul, and that with your intuition, and this is all these are all the things I teach. But when you start to really listen to your body, which is more intelligent than us, our body, like we get gut feelings, right? Or a body, you just know you shouldn't have eaten that thing, but you did. The old gut brain. Yeah, yeah. And even just start at that level of going, okay, where do I need to work on first and now and then move into the energetics of that? Okay. What energy center is this? Like, what, what does that mean? What do I need to work on? And it takes a while. I mean, I'm 64. And I just sort of got it about the abandonment thing. Right. That's interesting. For sure. So if you talk about the energetic body as technology, and I know that you work with meridians, chakras and multiple modalities. Is there a unified field theory at work with these as in how do how these systems talk to each other? Absolutely. Like, like I said, but the subtle ball is that they just get lighter and lighter. It's almost like it's your antenna system. And the outer body is your spirit body. So that is your human body's energy field that can connect to it is connected to your soul. And it can now communicate with, you know, divine essences, essences, realities, dimensions. So it's about clearing the highway to that thing. And the two you have to get by is the motion and mental. Okay. Which is two of the biggest challenges that people have in this world. If you think about counseling and therapy and anxiety and anger. Yeah. That's it play right there at play like a person who's really angry and hateful. I feel for them to tell you the truth. I used to hate them too. But I feel for them as like, man, you are, you are struggling. You are, you know what's underneath hate and fear and all that love. It's a fear of you don't have the love you not be given a love you can reject it at love. You don't belong like everyone sitting in prison. I always think of these prisoners going deep, deep down. They're hurt little boys and girls and I don't mean to minimize them but it is they're hurt. They got hurt. And now they're expressing it in ways and they're defending themselves and then they went too far. Right. And so but inside of them is a beautiful soul and they're they've got a big life journey. They have a big spiritual path. So I know that you actually refer to yourself as a energy alchemist. Is there a difference between then an energy alchemist and an energy healer? I think an energy alchemist brings all of the pieces together because our thought forms are our energy. So we think of something goes out there. Right. When we when we feel something, it goes out there. So it's working with anything, everything energetically and we are energetically connected to the the universe, the cosmos, the divine realms. So it's just this great big sea of energy and it's like how to manage all of that, right? And how to understand it and how to also protect yourself energetically. So yeah, I deal on a lot of and I I delve into into a lot of elements of ground energy as opposed to just healing. Okay. Yeah. So speaking of healing, can someone actually become their own healer? Or do we always need outside interventions at certain thresholds? I believe and I and I now I'm teaching you people how to become their own self healers working with energy. I believe everyone can do it themselves. I work on myself every day. In fact, is before I get out of bed, right? So you're really in that zone of relaxed. And I just do some really quick, simple get rid of energy out of my body. I don't want anymore. I, I, I zap all of my, you know, activate all of my chakras. I pull stuff out of them. I, I, you know, request the universal light to come down into my body that we have a grid around us this beautiful grid full of crystals. I just activate that. So that takes about 10, 15 minutes. And unfortunately, I think I wake my husband up when I'm doing that because there's this more energy. So we usually get up about the same time. The Taurus field is that that the energetic field around us? I do that too. And it's you can do that. But you have to I stand up to do it to get this energy flowing from the top down from the bottom up. And I just get that whole thing going when I'm, you know, making my morning drink, I just, I get that going as well. And those are the things, but it's, it's, it's removing energy. I don't want. If I've been anywhere, I've picked up energy and I always forget to put a white lighter around me so I don't pick up the other people's energy. And so it's getting rid of that.

This level this frequency or energy that is consistent, you know, I've got one more question before we jump into the musical questions. And it's if you could give someone just one practice that addresses ascension connection and energy mastery all at the same time. What would it be? It would be shifting your perception that you are this beautiful spiritual being you are worthy you can connect. You can talk to Jesus, you can talk to God, you can talk to Buddha, you can talk to Archangel, Archangel, Michael, who came to me the other day, you are this amazing spiritual being. And don't ever forget that. And when you understand that, then you go, Okay, okay, now I got to start dealing with the human side or I have to understand that a little bit more and embrace it. I love that. I love that. And I would wholeheartedly support and agree with what you just said. I couldn't have said it better even if I wanted to. So thank you for for your answer on that. Okay, so as anyone can tell you that's ever listened to the podcast. This is the section where I get to ask some musical questions of the guest. And as I mentioned regularly, I believe that music is the tie that binds and I also believe that everyone has a soundtrack that accompanies their life if they just take a moment to think about it. So are you ready to go into our musical questions? Sure. All right. What was the first song you fell in love with on the radio? Or one that you heard that you can remember saying that I can't wait to hear that song again? I was about seven and we were allowed to watch TV Friday night in Saturday morning. That was it. Some chips and dip. And I fell in love with David Cassidy on the Parcher family. That was a TV show. And they were a musical family. So they sang and he sang, I think I love you. I don't know the title of the song. That's it. I was in love with David Cassidy and I would sing that at the top of my lungs in. I don't think you were alone there, which was why I was on Friday nights. Okay, so did your family have a song that everyone would belt out on road trips or vacations when you're growing up? Or it could be with friends when you were in school or in college or what have you? Well, with my family, we traveled a lot because my dad was in the Canadian Air Force. So we were always on free flights somewhere and we lived in Europe. Most of my childhood. And even in the car, because we travel everywhere in Europe every summer, we would sing, here we go into the wild blue yonder. Here we go into the wild blue yonder. And we'd be singing it with him. And I don't remember the rest of the words. Up we go into the sky. Yeah. Yeah. So we obviously did that more on planes. You might have been doing that just to calm our nerves because we were like on Hercules cargo, you know, planes, because it was free. It was free, right? So we were flying all over the place. We'd swinging in these little red canvas seats. And it was so loud back there. And there's like, you know, crates of goods back. I mean, it was hilarious. I bet that would have been really neat as a child traveling that way, though. You know, that's probably a wonderful memory. So what was your favorite song that you and your friends would belt out in your senior year of high school? At home, we had limited channels, but we always had the theater. There was no screaming back then. Now we're now we're now we're into the late 70s. Oh, when I was a kid, it was the early 60s. So with David Cassidy. But it would we went to the theater and I saw the movie grease 15 times. Every Saturday, we'd go me my two besties, we'd go and then we really got into grease lightning. Yeah, yeah. What I want in them hand, I've got chills. I it's they're multiplying. So Olivia Newton, John and Oh, yeah, hopelessly devoted. Yes. Yeah, but it was like, yeah. Yeah, it was the hand drive thing. Oh, yeah, of course. Of course, you can even go to karaoke, where somebody or some places having a karaoke night, and people will do that hand drive thing is they're singing that song. So it's, yeah, I was kind of thought that maybe you you guys would do that. So did your musical tastes change after high school when you were in college? Absolutely. I discovered disco. So, you know, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing to say but I became a disco queen. So on the weekends, Friday and Saturday night, we go we dance into the wee mornings and like do the hustle and Saturday night live, not Saturday night live Saturday night fever, you know, all all that music and we dance and we dance and we dance together. So did you also do the skating thing with that? No, no, no, no, no, here that in, I remember like roller skating and doing the dancing and everything was really popular too. So that's, that's interesting. We didn't have that in Canada. That's quite interesting. No, it was discotex. Oh, okay. Yeah, with the strobe light and that ball and the glass mirror ball and oh yeah. Yeah. So I spent like a good five years discoing. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Okay. So what's a song that gets your positive juices flowing? Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk, put it on and I can't stop moving. I bust into moves. I didn't even know I had. I feel it afterwards. But yeah, I just love that. I love the beat and he's just so adorable. It's a great song and he is quite talented. You know, funny side story, my my youngest, they would play that song over and over and he turned to me one day and he goes, Do you think Bruno Mars is talking about Julio Jones, who is a wide receiver at the time for the Atlanta Falcons? Do you think he's saying Julio Jones go get the stretch? No, probably not. But anyway, what's the name of a song that you're guilty pleasure that you wouldn't want necessarily anybody knowing that it's on your playlist. And then one night sing with with my hairbrush. You mean? Sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Whitney Houston. What's that one? I always love you. Oh, yeah. The dolly part and like, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to belt it out right now. No, I wish I had those pipes. Big forest. Oh, big finish. Oh, yeah. I wish I had a voice like that. But yeah, that's that's she had quite a voice. And I have to put my my ear pods in and do it myself. If my husband, he's not into that type of music. No, it's not into Whitney Houston. Well, that's fair. That's fair. And you're very kind to do that. So what is a song that you believe could change the way people think or feel about the world around them positively? If they just listen to the lyrics? I have to say I was really moved by it's funny. I'm not that moved by lyrics. I think one of the reasons is I am not a an auditory learner. So I get the words wrong just like your son, my husband, that's that's not the line. It's not. And so they have a book with with mistaken song lyrics. Right. Like, yeah, with Blue Rodeo, there's that bad timing. That's all. I always thought it was that time and Nassau. Oh, yeah. What is it? Jimi Hendrix instead of excuse me while I kiss the sky. It's excuse me while I kiss this guy. And I was just like, yeah, that. Okay, cool. What's your song? Well, the song that really hit me, I think it must have been from the 90s. We are the world. And that's when all the stars came together like Michael Jackson. It was led by Quincy Jones. Oh, thank you. It all feels like five years ago. Quincy Jones and you know, just all the stars at that singing stars at that time did a beautiful coming together. And Bob Geldorf, I think arranged this whole charity. And it was just so beautiful. And it's like, we are the world and we have to help each other. We have to heal together. We have to stop this violence and cruelty. Oh, yeah, it's it's certainly a good song, especially for that the message. So this happens to be my favorite question. And it's sometimes there are songs you hear that ring so true that they can stop you in your tracks. In the songs, lyrics either sound like they were written specifically for you or by you. What's that song? I'm just starting to get into goddess work. And so the goddess work is, it's not like a worshiping or anything like that, but it's about, and I think this is really helping me with my groundedness, my humaneness and my Celtic connection, my blood is, I know my female, you know, ancestors, my grandmother's, they did worship goddess. And I don't know what their rituals were like my media grandmother loved the goddess Bridget. And, and I also didn't know that the Celtic cross, you know, on a grave site, there's a ring around it. Right. That's because the Catholics anyways, couldn't quite accept Christianity. This is my father told me he grew up in it. So that's the moon around the cross. Interesting. So they brought some of their paganism with them. And so I just know my grandmother's did and it's feeling so good to connect. So there's some amazing, beautiful, stirring music out there that is sort of goddess centered and Lurena McKinnon, I think she's Canadian. I'm just starting to learn some of the other people's names, women that are singing it. And it's so feminine and it's so powerful. And it's, it's, it reveres, you know, the goddess energy, and I'm really starting to enjoy that. But when I sit down in the morning and I, and I'm working, like I start to work, I really try to stay in a certain space, like when I'm creating or I'm answering emails, I put on crystal bowl sounds. Okay, yeah. Oh, it just just tingles right. Whereas the goddess they have words and stuff like that. And so it sort of, I get distracted. So I just need to go into this zone and that's how I work is to this beautiful crystal bowl. A big advocate of that. My best friend who happens to live in Qatar does soundscapes and she does sound healing and therapy. She's a clinical therapist. And she uses that in her practice as well. And she is really quite accomplished. Her name is Carrie Muller and her soundscapes. And I listen to a lot of them, believe me, they are the best soundscapes that I have ever heard. Oh, I remember you shared, I happen to look into her name. I'm a little, I'm always cautious with ever putting myself into a place where energy is being emitted. I'm very select what I expose myself to or works on me. And, and so there's this whole world I'm starting to explore a little bit too and that sound frequencies. And I think they be very, very quick. I think, yeah, is amazing from that, especially because if you consider the fact that your body is 80% water and what frequency and sound does to water and those frequencies that she uses for very specific reasons or means in the healing process. Really start to come through you especially. I mean, they're very effective in a recorded platform, but in person. It is otherworldly. But anyway, I'd like to thank you for all of your answers.
