Be honest. You know deep down you're here for more. You feel the calling, there's something you're here to do. But as soon as you start working on yourself, life interrupts and you're zapped back to reality. You feel like you're stuck in the messy middle, the space between being a mom and this deeply profound spiritual being. But what if I told you you don't have to choose one side or the other, that you can exist in both.
Speaker 1:
Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a NeuroSpicy conscious mama, human design projector and shaman here to guide you into raising the vibration of the collective, one small practice at a time. I invite you to let me guide you on this journey of growth, healing and expansion. I'll equip you with the tools and the resources to be your own healer, to strengthen your discernment and give you the actual, tangible embodiment pieces that you can apply in your day-to-day life, in the little moments between making dinner, picking up your kids or whatever it is for you, because your spiritual growth doesn't have to be another thing on your to-do list. Pop your earbuds in and let's pretend each episode is our weekly commitment to join each other on my virtual couch for deep conversations about things like how the patriarchy serves no one, embracing your feminine energy in an actual, tangible way and what it's like to actually break generational trauma so you can know yourself deeply, shed your old self and move into this new paradigm. Don't let your spiritual growth sit in a box collecting dust in the attic of your mind. Let's navigate it together in the space between.
Speaker 1:
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Space Between podcast. I'm excited to have a conversation with you today around the idea of receiving intuitive information and what you then do with that intuitive information. So, if you have, maybe, your third eyes open and you're starting to receive information around like next steps or things you need to take and I'm going to speak to this because I have many circumstances where I have experienced some pretty big nudges from the universe and some that I acted on somewhat impulsively ADHD girly here, with a defined spleen as a splenic projector for those of you that are into human design. So it's really hard to ignore those impulsive, intuitive nudges, I should say. And so a lot of my journey has been around having discernment around this information, and so that's what I want to equip you with today and have a conversation around because it's just important information. And after a few clients were talking to me about the same thing and it was kind of a common theme that was coming up. I was like, okay, let's do a podcast episode around this. So here we are. I want to speak to the idea of these. You know, getting these, I would say, very strong pulls from the universe. So the first intuitive, very large intuitive nudge I got was that I needed to quit my job as a registered nurse. And it wasn't a nudge, it felt like a push and I was like I didn't have discernment at the time, I didn't know, to just take that information. My mentor at the time had yet to explain to me that you're allowed to just take this information, say thank you very much and set it aside to explore and evaluate later. But it's exciting when you are tapping into things you're tuned in and you're very aware of, like the next right step right. And so when I received the download that I needed to quit my job as a registered nurse, it was very much like I was excited.
Speaker 1:
I was very, very burnt out. Being a nurse as well as being a psychic and medium and now a shaman. It's very challenging. It still has its challenges. To this day, I'm more equipped. I have more tools at my disposal. Thank goodness for that.
Speaker 1:
But I was very burnt out for multiple reasons. The system itself being a, you know, someone who wants to be more proactive and go upstream around certain problems and sees the bigger picture, it's really hard to just for lack of a better word, no pun intended putting a bandaid over a bullet hole for a lot of things within the healthcare system. So for multiple reasons, it was just no longer conducive to you know who I was or the life I wanted to lead at that time, and so when I received the information around that this was no longer aligned, I took it around. It's like okay, cool. I didn't stop to be like okay, but what? Like? The logical side of my brain didn't kick in right. Very much impulsive in this. Do I regret quitting my job? No, I don't. It led me where I need to be. It was exactly the right position at the time. But looking back now, I can see how that intuitive nudge was just so strongly.
Speaker 1:
And, like I said, there's a couple of people who have been asking me like I'm receiving information around this and it's a big scary thing and I don't know what to do with it. So I want to speak to that. So that's one instance. So another instance that I have that I want to share with you and the lesson from you're allowed to take the information that you receive and just say, okay, thank you, that there's nothing you have to do about it right now, which can be hard for some of us, right? Some of us who want to take action. There's very much. We live in a culture of seize the day and do the things, and it's okay to just sit and reflect. And is this right for me? Is this meant for me? How does this? Does this feel nourishing, does it feel supportive right now? What's maybe the next right step in direction of this? Okay, and so the story I want to share with you right now is receiving the intuitive download that my marriage was ending.
Speaker 1:
I knew that we were no longer compatible. There was lots of other things and I'm not going to get into the details of that right now, but I received intuitive information during my Reiki training. So I have my level two one and two Reiki, and so when I received that information, I didn't know what to do with it. I kind of had an idea that this is where things were heading, but I was in no place whatsoever to accept this information. I was, you know, still recently postpartum. We were in the middle of the pandemic. I was like there's just I can't, I can't look at this right now. And so it was hard.
Speaker 1:
It was hard to be able to be like I understand that this is maybe where things are go, but I'm in no position to take action on it. I don't know how I feel about it Again. I mean, as an intuitive, I was like I know, I know that this is going to come to an inevitable end. I know that we are paths crossed. For a reason. I'm great for all of that, the healing and the learning and the experiences and all of that, like we have three beautiful children. Because of it, there's been hard times, it's been stressful and it's been yeah, it's been all the things like all the stages of grief, and it's been wonderful and equally painful and all of those things. But I don't regret it at all in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1:
But to receive that intuitive information that I was like, okay, this is the road we're going down, and then, as a clairvoyant and a clairsentient, I could see it. I could see things playing out, and then I could also feel it in my body that I knew that this is inevitably where things were going, due to the nature of the information. Right, of course, there was really nothing impulsive I could do. I really had to take my time to get on board with this. So, for reference, I received this information in the winter of 2021. And it took a year for me to finally start to consider the idea that this was no longer a supportive relationship for either of us.
Speaker 1:
So, for anyone that's listening, I have a few people in my community that I know are kind of looking down that way, being like I don't know. I don't know what to do with this information. I don't feel seen, I don't feel supported, I don't feel loved. But then we very much live in the world of, like you know, it's easier to stay sometimes, right? So I just want to say that if there's anyone that needs to hear this right now, like it's okay to take your time, it's okay to sit with that information, it's okay to go through it. There is a grief process there and I just want to say that I see you so specific to that. I just want to invite you into and give you permission to slip. You maybe didn't know you needed to be able to sit with this information you receive and mull it over and get acclimatized to it. It doesn't have to be any impulsive decision that you have to make.
Speaker 1:
So the next example that I want to share with you is an example from my client that I'm sharing with her permission. So she started receiving intuitive information around the fact that they needed to live, they needed to leave where they're living. So when my client at the time first received this intuitive download around like what the future may hold for her and herself and her family and what this is going to look like, of course there was initial excitement, right, and I remember a lot of like what do I do with this information? And like this is what's coming up and I'm not sure what to do with it. But I think this is the right step. And like a lot of questioning, right, and I just was like you can just sit with this information, like you don't have to goes. And it was really really beautiful to witness her journey of just starting to come to terms with what this knowledge meant and what this change would mean for her and this part that I want to speak to.
Speaker 1:
I also identify as a parallel journey as well when it comes to leaving my marriage. Because, when it comes to these intuitive downloads and the information received this is the second part I want to leave you with for this podcast is what this intuitive download may be leading you towards is, more often than not, the unconventional choice. So, when I made a decision to leave my marriage because it was no longer a supportive, healthy, dynamic or that it maybe ever was, I'm not sure, but either way, it was no longer a supportive relationship and that there was changes that needed to be made that wasn't the conventional thing to do, right, you have three kids. There's all these reasons why you should stay, which is why people stay in unhappy marriages, right, and so it was the unconventional choice. When my client received this information around moving and selling their house and living pretty much in a cabin in the woods now, what they're doing while they just kind of breathe and enjoy their life and I'm so, so happy for them it's fantastic to to watch and witness this, just this beauty that's unfolding for them and to become more connected as a family is is amazing and so, um, but it's an unconventional choice, right, leaving maybe where you've grown up, your support system whether that support system is supportive or not is maybe up for debate, right, and so that's.
Speaker 1:
The second part is when you're receiving intuitive information. It may not be the conventional choice, and so there is time needed where you need to get on board with this idea or this concept, because it's going to require a different piece of you. It's going to require an identity shift from you. It's going to require you maybe falling into that cycle breaker category you doing something that nobody's done before. You doing something. People are going to look at you and be like you're crazy, what are you doing? Why would you do that? And that's going to inevitably trigger something in someone else where they're afraid to look at their own shadow, of the ways that maybe they're not listening to their soul's purpose or their mission or their heart or what they want, or leaning into their desire and prioritizing that above all else.
Speaker 1:
And it starts to be this cascade of events, right, and so I think that that's what's more scary for a lot of people more than anything else, is the like what do I do with this information? And so a reminder that you don't have to do anything with it. Okay, it will wait for you. What's meant for you is already on its way to you. I believe that if it's in your vortex, I already feel like there's a world in which this exists, that this will happen, but then you also get to decide what that looks like for you. Okay, I mean we could get into a whole conversation around that. I'm not going to get into the concept of free will and divine plan and purpose and mission and all of those things, but either way, I just I want it. Like I said, it's a conversation.
Speaker 1:
It's been coming up with a few people receiving information this may be a little bit radical around moves they need to make in their life and they're not ready for, and I'm like it's okay, you don't have to do anything right now. You could take that as information that this is what you're stepping into. It's a conversation with your highest self, your truest self, as to what is available to you if you choose to step into that. And so it's maybe a little bit of a short and sweet episode, but it was something that I wanted to speak to just again, to recap that when you receive intuitive information, you don't have to act on it right away. You get to take that information. You get to say thank you very much. I appreciate that. And then that it's probably introducing you or inviting you into being a little bit unconventional, and that itself more than likely be the uncomfortable part. It's inviting you into a growth edge, it's inviting you to step out of your comfort zone, and so it's the journey to get to that place that it really is the fun part and I know that's so cliche, but it really really is. So to start to evaluate all the ways in which you can take these small little steps to get to where you want to be. I hope that that was enjoyable.
