And, , there’s some people out there, they’ll give the fa fa foo foo kind of stuff like this, but I’m actually have a believing side of me. And what’s for a lack of a better term, Chris kind of dumbs it down a little bit for people like me to understand what she does and how she got to where she’s at.

She specializes in supporting old souls and survivors of narcissistic abuse, helping them. Uncover soul lessons and navigate life’s challenges and miss chris. Thank you so much for coming on Please introduce yourself to the time to shine today podcast varsity squad. But first, what’s your favorite color and why?

Chris Wasko: Oh, I if someone were to ask me that usually it’s red But my favorite color to wear is this blue that i’m actually wearing it’s connected to the throat chakra

L. Scott Ferguson: Okay, and

Chris Wasko: it’s a lot of it’s a chakra. I really had to heal So I wear it a lot and it just, yeah, very connected to it.

L. Scott Ferguson: So the blue is [00:02:00] connected to the throat chakra.

Very cool. I guess I’m connected a little bit today too. Yeah. Well, you would

Chris Wasko: be, especially as a speaker, any speaker is going to have to have an active throat chakra and maybe even overactive. So that could be the type of child that didn’t shut up as very much was, or was criticized for speaking too much.

So that’s when they’ll have a bit of a wound. In their throat chakra. And that could go , ’cause chakras are a wheel, so it could spin too much. It could spin too little. You kind of want, it’s like Goldilocks, Goldilocks. We want that just right and spinning, just right. The porridge

L. Scott Ferguson: action,

Chris Wasko: pretty much.

Yeah.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. And it’s funny, I I, that I will only wear blue on stage, so it must have something me too, going along with that, ? So yeah,

Chris Wasko: I say stick with it.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah, without a doubt. So let’s get to the roots of you, Miss Wasko. Like, , I know that you’re a transplant, like I am from the Midwest of Florida.

You’re the East Coast too, which let’s talk a little bit about that first. Like what made you, because usually your peeps, your Josie, New York, [00:03:00] Boston, like I’m in Palm Beach and like I 95 corridor runs right up to where you’re from and they all come here. So why the West Coast?

Chris Wasko: Well, oh, it’s got such a good question because I was dragged here twice kicking and screaming.

The first time was when I was in high school. My parents moved to Northern California. And so I did high school there. And then I actually opted to do college in Southern California. And that’s where I met my husband. And at the time when we were dating, I told him as soon as we graduate, I’m going back East.

Like you could come, you could say, , cheers. Like I was very, I was so committed to pretty much like, , I mean, we were so young I didn’t know that was going to be my forever. So, , we, he ended up coming back with me. So we were back there for about 10 years and work was calling in Southern California and for him, not for me.

I was at the time, it felt like I was drowning in [00:04:00] childhood. Like, because at that time I had three under five, so it was a lot of , chaos, really? So when he got a ability to move to southern california, we’re like, all right, let’s do it but oh I cried for a good two weeks, , I did not want to be back I , because I just I very much identify with being an east coast girl.

I I That mold. I’m such a fish out of water here and it’s fine. Like there are so many things I do love about it. I see the purpose of it now, but but , you could take the girl out of Jersey, but

L. Scott Ferguson: you can’t take the judge. And that’s funny. You said, cause when I first moved. Southern Florida here in Palm Beach.

It was like, , I’m a Midwestern guy, hugger. Hey, smiler. And so a lot of the people I’d be introduced to were from the East coast and like, I’d walk in for the hug. They’d be like, dude, right. And so I, me, I was like, but heard about it. And I was like, dude, what’s going on? And I’m six one, I’m two 30.

I’m not a small [00:05:00] guy. So I can intimidate people even when I’m gregarious and happy, but I did a deep dive. And I was like, a lot of the people up there live on top of each other. Okay. And there’s a close proximity to a lot of this stuff and they just want their space. Once I gave them their space now, I mean, I’m invited to Brooklyn once a year.

I’m going to Jersey next month for, , a friend’s thing. And it’s like, I have some of them are my best friends and they’re so fricking loyal. They’re awesome. I just had to learn how to get in to fit in, , it’s like, , or fit in where you get it, whatever, what I’m saying, but no, it’s awesome.

So where’d you go to school out there then in SoCal?

Chris Wasko: Pepperdine.

L. Scott Ferguson: Oh, did you really?

Chris Wasko: I did. Wow.

L. Scott Ferguson: Legit, man. That’s awesome. Beautiful campus. Absolutely stunning. Yeah.

Chris Wasko: I, when I toured that campus, I said, this is where I’m going.

L. Scott Ferguson: Now, have you always been kind of energy, , with where was your, when did we kind of roll into that?

Cause I’d love to hear this backstory of how. , you’re immensely sought after, , person to help people with their energy and healing and [00:06:00] counseling But like how did that how did that get off the ground?

Chris Wasko: Well, that’s such a great question I have a business background. I majored in business.

I was working in manhattan doing working with clients for mortgages and it was a very different life I had in this lifetime and When I became a mom is when I started noticing things changing. I was recognizing the toxic patterns in my own family and I was starting to have some issues come to light because it was affecting my children.

For example, my dad hit, My oldest child and I grew up in a very volatile, violent household. So while this didn’t surprise me, it crushed me. And my mom lashed out at me verbally saying that I was creating drama because I was upset. It happened and it was another eight years. until I finally cut them off because at that time my dad, my dad then threatened to hit my [00:07:00] husband.

And I said, that’s it. I’m done. So it was at that time that I really needed to do things to help heal myself. I, I went to therapy I just started. I changed my diet a lot. I, , I, I had had an autoimmune disease of my thyroid that I have since healed. But in this healing process, it started opening me up to spirit.

So I would be having a conversation with someone like I’m having a conversation with you right now, and I would see somebody behind them in my mind’s eye. And I didn’t know what to do with that because, , spirit doesn’t communicate with us like we communicate, , that would be great if they did be so much easier.

So I started taking classes and learning how to understand that. And it helped me understand a lot more about myself, a lot more about my sensitivities, seeing things in hindsight of how, Oh, I’ve been able to do this for a very long time, but I was so muted by all the trauma in my life. Oh, and so a lot of people are gonna like [00:08:00] hear this kind of stuff and say foo foo Whatnot now like were you that person when you’re kind of in the business thing until something kind of opened up to you?

L. Scott Ferguson: You know what I’m saying? Were you kind of not get away from me with that stuff? Where before cuz I told you off off mic that I was , I was like dude, whatever, I can control the Uncontrollable is even, , but like, but did, did it kind of like, was it a slow play into her? It was just like an eye awakening, like, boom, this is it.

Chris Wasko: For me, I was always open to it for others. So, , I, I mean, I wasn’t the type to really seek out like a medium or anything like that, but I always was very fascinated by it. I always loved, , anything, like I watched a lot of shows that with magic and that kind of stuff. So it appealed to me, but I never believed I could do it.

Okay. , that was not on my radar, so that was certainly a surprise to me. Sure. I knew I was, I would’ve called myself intuitive. I had a lot of moments in life that, , I couldn’t really believe happened or prove, but I just knew and, , [00:09:00] predictions, that kind of stuff. Sure. So but yeah.

As far as Oh wow. You’re gonna see people in spirit, if someone told me that, I would’ve, I would’ve scoffed at that. Absolutely. Right. Okay, so did it make you poop your pants when you were first able to see something like that and have it come to light? It was a little unsettling and I think I had a little bit of fear too of like, Don’t bother me at night like, , that kind of stuff, Because when you don’t know you really don’t know what am I open to what can come speak to me?

Can they do stuff to me, , I think we’re so jaded by what hollywood shows us And that’s just not really what it is So I really had to learn those things and become comfortable with it and feel safe You

L. Scott Ferguson: So to be blunt, what is it?

Chris Wasko: What is what exactly?

L. Scott Ferguson: You, you said you, it’s not really what it is when you said that Hollywood, what, what is it?

Chris Wasko: It’s subtle. It’s so incredibly subtle. It’s it’s, I mean, it’s energy. So [00:10:00] if I feel somebody in spirit, I’m feeling their energy. So think about like, if a person in life, it can be a living person and they have a certain energy. If they’re very intense and moody or cranky, that’s an energy. If they’re calm and peaceful, that’s an energy.

I’ll feel that energy in somebody in spirit. So I’ll get that feel. Oh, I understand this person was a little intense in life and they were an A type personality. So if you understand it in life, you’re going to understand the connection to spirit.

L. Scott Ferguson: Ooh, that’s strong. So did you start kind of like putting yourself out on a kind of a pro bono basis and start working with people?

Or did you dive in because you had the business background into building this out, or how did your kind of like say your first client come along?

Chris Wasko: I stumbled into this almost in this I think, and I was just apprehensive. I never saw myself doing this as a business. I, and I think because there’s so many [00:11:00] frauds, especially as mediums, I wasn’t really identifying as a medium.

I, even now, I mean, yes, I am a medium. I am psychic, but I really like to do energy healing. That’s most of my work. But the way it started is I was On playdates with other moms and their kids and these moms, , we would become friends obviously, and they would start talking about their kids and frustrations they were having.

And as they were saying things, I could hear everybody’s inner thinking. I could hear the child’s inner thinking, mom’s inner thinking. And I would say that doesn’t fit. Like, that’s not what he’s saying. That’s not what he’s thinking. Like, I know you. You feel this way because , he made you feel that way, but I would essentially become this bit of an interpreter for moms and kids and I had so many moms that would tell me really helped my relationship with my child.

So it really started with that. So I had a lot of people [00:12:00] start to just refer me to friends if they felt like they had a frustrating child and or just a child they couldn’t understand or a child that was really struggling. , as you said in the beginning, I work with old souls, old souls, when they get to around the age of about 11 or 12, they really struggle with being here.

feeling they belong elsewhere, feeling that they don’t really want to be on earth anymore. There’s, , variances to it. But so I started helping kids and parents understand the, where their mind is at in that regard. And it just expanded from there. I, I, like I said, I think I’m, I’m more surprised than anyone that I’m actually doing this for a living.

L. Scott Ferguson: I love your transparency on that how you kind of stumbled into it, but and also starting to feel the energy that that’s it’s honest, , because a lot of people I was born this way and I feel this and they’re like you said, there’s a lot of fraudi Robbie’s out there. So with these ages 11 or 12 that are kind of really struggling.

Do [00:13:00] you think that some of that? I’ll tell you what I believe. I believe that every child is a born spirit and a born salesperson, right? I mean, if your child’s crying, it’s hungry, they just sold you to feed them. Right? So as they get older, a lot of parents. They like this two letter word called no. And by the time that they’re 10 or 11, they’re told no 135, 000 times in their life, , they takes that sales person out and takes that energy out of them.

Do you think that that the upbringing can have a little bit to do with their struggles around that age? Just a programming that set in.

Chris Wasko: Yes, 100%. I believe the upbringing. I believe the education system. I believe there are many different elements. But yes, ultimately, they start to come into their own. And that is when their own version of no starts to form, even if it’s not verbally, it’s certainly energetically.

L. Scott Ferguson: So they stop. I mean, [00:14:00] kids, , you walked in, I’m sure when your kids were sub five. You go through every candy line. Mom. Mom, can I have, can you have, right. They’re selling, right? Yeah, but again, you’re telling them no, and you don’t mean it out of. Bad you’re just like did I gotta pay for this, , like not not for the candy But you’re like you’re in line paying for stuff and you’re trying to get your life going there’s 10 people behind you So, , I I feel you on that.

No, that’s that’s great So do you work with clients one on one a lot? Is that kind of the staple of your business chris?

Chris Wasko: Yes, I would say mostly and then it evolved a little bit into classes where I teach people about spiritual development, because what I was noticing is like me as my clients were healing, they were coming into their own gifts and had no idea what to do with that.

So I, I had one in particular that asked me if I could teach. Classes on that and I was like, yeah, sure I mean, like I said, like I just keep stumbling on to these things in this journey and just follow the guidance So you’re open to

L. Scott Ferguson: it. I’m open to it Would you say kind of stumbling into their [00:15:00] own gifts?

Like can you kind of say what you mean by gifts?

Chris Wasko: They’ll start either hearing spirit. They’ll feel more intuitive they will be it really will vary because we’re all different but I believe everyone has the ability to give to be psychic and to connect to their own psychic clairs, , the clairvoyance, clairvoyance, clairsentience.

We all have that ability. Not everyone may connect to mediumship, like where you’re talking to spirit, but we certainly had, and not everyone likes the word psychic. So I like to say like intuitive, like we’re all intuitive. We are meant to be intuitive. We are intuitive beings, things like when you don’t like somebody, but you can’t really explain why you just have a feeling, that’s your intuition saying that person is not for you.

L. Scott Ferguson: Right. Right. I love that. It’s beautiful. So, when you’re maybe working with somebody, and I know it’s going to be different for everybody, but is there something that you kind of use, a secret sauce, if you will, to have them recognize that, that initial blind spot they’re working with, , to work towards healing?

Chris Wasko: Yeah, 100%. What [00:16:00] I do when I work with someone is I connect my chakra system to their chakra system, the main seven chakras, that is, we have so many chakras, but I will be able to see or feel what’s going on in that system and energy is always in layers. So the first layer is going to show me The thing that needs to be addressed first.

So just say for example, I see something going on in their throat chakra. That’s layer number one, something’s up there, right? And then I go in that next layer. What is that? Is it, is it too much? Is it too little? And then what’s it connected to? Or who is it connected to? And then. It unfolds from there.

So like, let’s just say I have somebody with this overactive throat chakra and I feel, okay, this is most of it’s childhood related, then I’ll hear something and I’m like, dad. And then I’ll say, okay , I’m getting this about your throat chakra. I feel you weren’t able to speak up a lot as a child.

A lot of this is connected to your father. If you want to tell me a little bit about your relationship with your father. And then they’re [00:17:00] like, how did that? And yeah, it was really tough. And my dad was really hard on me. So. That would be a first layer, and then we would work on some energy healing to help calm that, to get your chakra back into alignment, but then what happens is, other things start to unveil themselves, like, okay, you took care of that one, but then you had this other one lying underneath.

So that’s why a lot of sessions layers, you

L. Scott Ferguson: said layers. Yeah. Yeah.

Chris Wasko: Energy is always in layers.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love it. Okay. So maybe you’re still in a kind of discovery conversation, , you’re kind of making sure you’re the right horse for the course, right. The right person for them. Is there any good question that you wish they would ask you but never do?

Chris Wasko: Oh, I love that question. I would say most people ask me like, what do you see? What do you feel? And they really want to just leave it open to anything, right? And I guess I’m more Would love to hear like where’s my heart at because when you really get to where [00:18:00] someone’s heart space is at You can see and feel so much about Past present and future about that person

L. Scott Ferguson: Wow, that’s that’s strong.

So you’d want somebody to just be like, where do you see my heart space? Like you can see the because that Will the healing start? I know it’s inch by inch. It’s a cinch, right? So there’s no ultimate healing right like all that once but if Can you start from the heart? Is it make the process the journey towards healing easier if it started kind of at the base of the heart?

Or does it change for different people?

Chris Wasko: It would change for different people because there are a lot of people that really guard their hearts That’s one of the more difficult ones actually because of that.

L. Scott Ferguson: Gotcha. So there might be something within the layer that’s blocking the heart. Is that where you’re going with it or again?

Yeah.

Chris Wasko: Blocking or yeah. Protecting that they have kept that shielded so well that they, it’s hard for them to touch because it also would open an avenue of [00:19:00] vulnerability that they might not want to work with right away.

L. Scott Ferguson: Wow. So wow, that’s amazing. So like I’m a coach, right? I’m not a consultant because , I mean, I believe everyone knows what they want.

They just don’t know how to talk themselves into it. Right. So that’s where I’m kind of like their GPS system, if you will. Are you kind of like a coach Sultan? Like, are you kind of like you can coach them because I’m hearing you ask you ask them a lot of questions, right? That’s that’s where coaching really kind of comes from.

But like, then you’re kind of telling them, , guiding them, I should say, like, do you kind of consider yourself kind of a mesh between the 2?

Chris Wasko: Yeah, I would say so. I mean, I certainly think I identify with coaching because I, I was very athletic as a child. So the, , turning as a coach, it’s pretty seamless for me and I like to encourage and I like to support, but I really love that people become their own healers.

So to be a coach, I think is a very strong element in that because you’re not there to do it for [00:20:00] them. You’re there to help them with the tools and help show them and provide them with the tools and to help build on that and make them better versions of themselves.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love it. Where do you feel your biggest strength is in, in your line of work?

Chris Wasko: My ability to read people.

L. Scott Ferguson: Okay. How about your weakness?

Chris Wasko: Probably if I get triggered.

L. Scott Ferguson: Gotcha. Do you appreciate that weakness here and there?

Chris Wasko: Sometimes because it shows me something I haven’t quite touched on.

L. Scott Ferguson: Freaking love your transparency, man. You were like, bam, dude, it’s like the same thing. Like me, I’ll be like, Like even if I’m in a long coaching conversation, like listen to internalize, not to react or response, , it’s like, that’s me, man.

I’ll be like, Oh, dude, we’ve talked about this nine times, , so no, I feel you. So have you seen the movie back to the future? All right. Let’s get in that DeLorey with Marty McFly. Let’s go back to the double deuce, the 22 year old Chris. I don’t know if it is Wasko yet, [00:21:00] but let’s go back to the 22.

Okay. But let’s go back. And what is there any knowledge nuggets? That’s what we call them here at time to shine today But is there any knowledge nuggets that would help her not change anything because your journey’s been pretty damn good Okay, but to maybe help her shorten the learning curve and blast through maybe just a little quicker

Chris Wasko: I would definitely tell her to trust your intuition more.

I didn’t do that enough I i’d give her a solid hug because she was rather broken and just had a lot of pieces to pick up and really just I mean, like you said, , there, as much as I’d love to change some things, like I’ve learned so much, I’ve grown so much. So it’s just more like, yeah, just if I could kind of float more with the process and not been so intense.

Cause at that time in my life, that was like, Career building time, and that was very money focused and,

,

climbing ladders and, , and I was achieving and it was great and it was really [00:22:00] good, but I wish my focus wasn’t so much on money, but I know really what that was. It was my end of independence.

I wanted to be cut off completely from my parents.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. Yeah. Because especially the stuff that you, the trauma you had talked about, but our T years, our twenties and thirties are a lot, a lot of times geared into that are F years or forties and fifties. I’m 52 now. And I look back at myself when I was in my twenties now, physically, I’d love to go back.

, in, in competing jujitsu now, then with what I know now or whatever else. And, but, , we all have our journey, but I get it. I get where you’re coming from. Like, , listen to your intuition. If you don’t know something like my good friend, Leah Woodford would say, get your asking gear.

There’s a lot of people there that want to answer for you. That’s beautiful. Chris, how do you want your dash remembered? That little line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date, your life date and your death date. Hopefully it’s way down the line, but how does Chris Wander Dash remembered?

Chris Wasko: I really identify a lot [00:23:00] of my life especially with my growth, with how I am as a mother. So I really hope how, who I am as a mother stands out in a good way that I, I made a difference in their lives.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love it. Love it. That’s beautiful. That’s what it is. If you do that, it’s kind of like mentoring. The more you mentor, the more immortal you become, right?

So if you’re passing that onto your kids and they’re passing it and giving, that’s beautiful. That’s beautiful. Yeah.

Chris Wasko: And if, especially, , cause I look at myself as a cycle breaker, so, really they’ll show me that that cycle is broken.

L. Scott Ferguson: Cycle breaker. I’m typing that out and I hope you do too as well squad.

That’s solid. That’s solid So, what do you think if anything people misunderstand the most about chris?

Chris Wasko: I think a lot of people will misunderstand my personality. I have an intensity to me. I I’m very no BS. , I’m born and raised, I’m a New York, New Jersey gal, , say what you mean and mean what you say that’s often [00:24:00] misinterpreted as mean, especially as a woman.

 Being called a bitch because I know what I want I say what I want and I could say the exact same thing as a man But because i’m a woman it’ll be taken, negatively or the wrong way and feeling like I need to be soft because of that. That’s Certainly something I would say maybe I felt challenged by but I i’m not going to soften myself just to make someone else feel Good, that’s on them, but it doesn’t mean I’m not a good person.

Thank you for

L. Scott Ferguson: saying this. I make two New Year’s resolutions every year, Chris. One is to make someone smile every day. And two, unless I’ve hurt you, disrespect you, owe you, or judged you, I give zero whats about what you think about me. And it took me a while to get there.

Chris Wasko: It does take time,

L. Scott Ferguson: and it took me a while, but I love that, , I’m sure with your vocation, what you do, you get a lot of them to do.

That’s just stupid. That doesn’t work and stuff like that. How do you handle that negativity?

Chris Wasko: I love a skeptic, a cynic, [00:25:00] not so much, but I love when I get a skeptic. I had one teacher that had said, she’s like, learn to turn a no into a wow. Like when someone is like, no, that’s not right. And then you’re like, okay, fine.

And then you start to dig in more into their energy. And then they’re like, wow, how did that?

L. Scott Ferguson: I

Chris Wasko: love those moments. Like, , really all I need is. And I also recognize it is not up to me to prove myself to anybody. I’m good with me. I know my abilities and I know what I could do. So if someone wants to try and challenge that, just like Marty McFly, I’m not gonna, fold to being called chicken or whatever.

I feel like I have to. Stand up to that challenge. , that’s very ego based. I’m not in that. So yeah, it’s just a matter of really letting people know kind of what I do and they can do what they want with that. And some people have a mouth on them and like to say something and I will just remind them that that is all throat [00:26:00] shock or related.

L. Scott Ferguson: I love that. It’s beautiful. And squad, you hear that? Learn to turn a no into a wow. That’s beautiful. That, that is. Fantastic, because you can disagree with it all you want. I’m not going to really care, especially at the maturity that I’m at now, right? But if you can really kind of flip the script, for lack of a better term, on them to really wow them, then they, I’m not going to say they become believers, but they’ll be more cognizant to receiving what you’re going to move forward with.

That’s beautiful. I probably do that with my coaching, my superpowers, curiosity, but I never heard it termed that way. So thank you for sharing that. It’s going in my learning journal today. That’s fantastic. So. Anything keep you up at night?

Chris Wasko: Not as much anymore. I mean, I think I used to be really scared about what my parents might do to me.

Sure. Because , cutting them off I have an extremely vindictive mother. Sure. And she. Does try and has tried over the years to do things. [00:27:00] And so that was probably something that would, but as far as where I’m at in just in my personal life, I have found so much peace and joy and happiness.

Because of that decision to cut my parents off that my only regret is not doing it sooner. , I gave them a chance. I give them so many chances. I love my parents. I, I miss them.

L. Scott Ferguson: , they’re not

Chris Wasko: awful people, but The trauma and their inability to want to be better and do better. I could not take anymore.

And really it was for the safety of my family.

L. Scott Ferguson: That’s beautiful. I’m glad that you’re so transparent. It’s so refreshing that it’s there to say I’ve had those moments. With both of my parents, , I told you, , this is my mom here. It’s around my neck and I don’t like most of our life our relationship was Not communicating she bailed.

I’m my story’s been on montel williams ricky lake when I was younger and stuff like that I have a really unique story But like she [00:28:00] kind of bailed right and it was like it not until later in our life or her life that we actually sat Down and it’s like listen, dude, we had to have this conversation.

Chris Wasko: I had once [00:36:00] wrote a poem And as I sat with it, I said this is a book And it essentially reads and looks like a children’s book, but it is geared toward inner child healing. So it is not just for children, it is for adults as well. Children will also connect with it because it is very visually stimulating.

But I really Felt the need to have this out there to help people, especially because as I said, old souls, they can struggle. And this is a reminder that it is for a reason and to also help raise the vibration for someone when they are really struggling.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love that. And that’s exactly what you do is raise the vibration on everybody that you could probably come in contact with, or at least try to, which is beautiful.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love this. Love this. And squad, we had, I just had a fun conversation where I picked up things that I never even know, knew about, especially how to turn no into a wow. I mean, my good friend Chris here is planting trees. She’s never going to sit in the shade of, , she believes in something so much.

Watch you. To pass it on and to really help you lean into your ultimate, , potential, , with a business background, she came recognized. There was a lot of toxic testicity in her life. , she found a healing process that would open up to her spirit and she found that understanding in it and found her really intuition leaned into it.

And one thing I love about her is she does it for the intention, not the attention. You don’t see her out there going, la la, look at me, I do this, I talk to dead people, all this. No, she wants to [00:39:00] sit down and really help you, lean into your best self. , she can feel someone’s spirit. She feels their energy, , and it’s so funny, not funny, but it’s really cool that she’s so transparent in answering that she stumbled into it.

That she wasn’t this, that raised a believer of this. And, , she found layers in energy and started unpeeling them on herself. And she can help you do the same as well with your stuff, with your, I’m not going to call them issues or problems, but what you’re challenging right now. She’s the ultimate cycle breaker.

 she wants you again, she wants you to trust your intuition, get out there. And when you need to. Know something, get your asking gear, ask about how it can be done. And lastly, , like I say, inch by inch, it’s a inch right by the yard. It’s hard. And she wants you to know that if you keeps going, that compounding effect will happen and you’ll build that solid energy.

And that’s what my good friend Chris will help you do. She loves upper health. She levels upper wealth. She’s absolutely stunning. She’s humble, yet she’s hungry. She’s earned a varsity letter here. Time to shine today. Thank you so much for coming on. We [00:40:00] absolutely love your guts.
