Stacey and I have known each other since about two We're both in healthcare, and as you can imagine, healthcare is a fun and rewarding and challenging job, and we see patients in all kinds of situations. And today, I'm going to introduce Stacey because she is really someone that connects through signs, through situations.

You want to take our listeners back a little bit to that day? I do.

SPEAKER_01: 3:03

And maybe even back, back. So my mom passed away about four years ago and I've always had pretty good intuition and so did she. And I was kind of developing some anger about why won't my mom contact me? Why wasn't she in my dreams? You know, that kind of thing. And I think I really oversimplified it to like, I thought she was going to come in my dreams and be like, good evening, Stacey. You know, it looks like your life's on track and I'm so proud of you. And I don't know why I was thinking it would be like that. And so I'd kind of just given up and thought, well, I don't know. And honestly, some of the signs that people talk about a lot, you know, like the Cardinals and my mom loved Cardinals. Yes, I have a backyard full of Cardinals, but I'm thinking every one of those Cardinals is not my mother coming to me. That's just not, didn't make sense for me that way. And so I was like, what, why, why is this not working? for me like I said I'm intuitive I know things I you know I've had different experiences in my life so I had broke my ankle pretty pretty badly as you know Kim and had surgery and my daughter was getting married it was just quite I don't know just it was all I'm very unfortunate but I was getting ready to get out of that period the three months of non-weight-bearing get start getting into some rehab and I thought I just don't know if I can do this this has just been almost demoralizing and that night I had a dream and my the dream was my mom and I used to ice skate a lot and when I was very young and my mom was quite beautiful she looked a little bit like Jackie Kennedy back in that time that would probably have been her you know style idol and we were we were at the skating rink by our house we were in the warming house and she had on the coat that she used to wear the navy coat with the fur collar and it was also bright and her hair was you know dark Jackie Kennedy and she had on some pearl earrings and I had walked into the warming house with my old red boots on which I had all these things I'd forgotten about my whole life you know I never thought about my mom's coat I never thought about my red jacket my red boots but it was like it was yesterday Kim everything was so bright and vivid and yes this was my mom and she was helping me with of my skates. After I was about six or seven, my mom stopped skating because I had other siblings. She was probably pregnant. The woman could have fallen and break something that would not have gone well, but still would take us down to skate and just watch us. I told her, I don't think I can do this without you, mom. I need you, mom. She was saying to me, no, you can skate. I'm like, no, I don't think I can. She said, yes, you can. You can skate. You can do this Stacy you're a good skater it's going to be fine I will be here outside the warming room kind of on a little step we used to have to go down to get on the ice and I will watch you and you can skate and it will be fine and it was just such a vivid joyous colorful dream and I woke up and I'm like what does that mean and then I don't know the skate is walk I'm going to be okay I'm going to get out of this situation off the scooter out of the boot I'm going to walk and I'm going to do it and my mom will watch me and it will be okay and so then that whole morning you know thinking about it and I was like oh my god I've got to call Kim she's going to want to hear this this is right up Kim's alley so I did I texted you yes I did and

SPEAKER_00: 6:48

I love the fact that you were really looking for answers and strength within yourself and it wasn't like you were expecting that like your mom to show up right you were just like praying for answers or like really wondering like how am I going to get my foundation back and when I heard that I thought oh my gosh her mom who was her foundation her whole life doing an activity that they did together right that was solely based upon your feet and moving forward right and there she

SPEAKER_01: 7:24

was and it was so wild Kim and it was just so vivid even when I woke up it was so vivid still and you know how you lose dreams sometimes and even like right down to maybe you had one Kim they were stylish when we were young it was a white puffy hat and then you tie it and it had white pom poms hanging off the end of it I had that on and I'm like oh my god I have that and I had to call my sister even and go hey do you remember these hats and she started laughing and so you know but that's how vivid it was it was just crazy so yes

SPEAKER_00: 8:01

my mother yeah in that moment you just knew Stacey is what I was trying to get at the listeners should know that like if you feel that intensity believe

SPEAKER_01: 8:13

it right Absolutely. And, you know, even if it's not in your dream, you know, and it's something out walking around, that for me is my sign, the situation. And, you know, it's so a situation might happen when I'm doing something and I'll be like, oh, I just got a feeling like my mom's here or it'll bring back a memory. And I'll remember, you know, something that, oh, this is just like what we did or, oh, yeah, that's right. And then that's how I know she's there with me. And it's become stronger over the last few months when I finally kind of figured it out. I'm looking, it's a situation. Like I just had one, well, I had one today. I love cinnamon rolls. And I had gone, so I'm at the hospital right now, but I'd gone down to the cafeteria and there was one lonely cinnamon roll sitting at the checkout counter where we buy our treats, Kim. Treats are the best. I know. I'm like, oh, whose cinnamon roll is that? Because it wasn't priced or anything. And they're like, oh, that's yours. And I'm like, oh, it's mine? And she's like, yeah, you can just have it. I'm like, oh. And my mom was my cinnamon roll supplier forever. And so I'm like, my mom is here. My mom is with me as I'm going to go up and talk to Kim And she's, you know, giving me a little treat to get her going and, you know, things like that. So, yeah, just the fact that it was just randomly there, no price, you can have it. Oh, my God, I love cinnamon rolls. I love my mom's cinnamon rolls. I was actually thinking, oh, when I was walking back up to the office, I should look that recipe up. But then I was like, and mom, yeah, I'm going to look up your cinnamon recipe. And I just kind of had a little conversation with her. And so I'm really at peace now. I don't have that... feeling of why doesn't she I had had some dreams about it but she would never talk and she would always kind of try to get away from me it was strange like I had a dream we were at a store a clothing store and she just kind of took off I had a dream I was driving one night and she was in the back and I'm like are you back there mom and she wouldn't say anything and so that was really bothersome to me but now that I'm understanding for me it's situational and when I see things or things kind of just grab me to take a moment, take some time and put the pieces together. And I just, I just love it. And I laugh, I get just these great feelings. It's just been amazing. It's been amazing. And just, you know, to move even out of that a little bit of just take some time, my God, slow down. And, you know, in this world, it's hard to just take some time. And, you know, these grand gestures or grand things, you know, it doesn't have to be that way. There's so much around us. There's so much around us that I think we miss every day. Just, it's crazy. Another one I have, Kim, that just happened too. So I just found out my daughter's pregnant and she's going to have a little girl. I know. I know. So we're very excited. I know. I know. We're all very excited. It's our first grandchild. So anyways, I was at our town festival and I was watching this grandma with her two little kids and she was so happy. She had him over at the carnival and I'm like oh that's so cute that's so cute and I was like wait a minute and I watched him some more I'm like that looks like my mom that's something my mom would have done she would have taken us over here and done this that's just kind of her actions or ways what this grandma was doing and then it dawned on me oh my god my mom is like telling me now look at this grandma you are going to be a good grandma like I was a good grandma and it just just again just kind of watch the joy there and watching the similarities. Maybe, you know, six months ago, I might have just walked by and got, oh, they're cute, you know, and just kind of kept going. But now, just to take that time, and I feel like these situations are all around me now that I've kind of settled my brain down to go, these are your signs, this is how you're going to connect with your mom. Because yes, obviously, it was very important to me. I also asked a lot of my siblings before I kind of came on to this, does mom come to you in your dreams? And it's, you know, well, they'll be like, yeah, I dream once in a while. I'm like, does she talk to you? Does she say anything to you? I was kind of like going to try to, you know, tease out like, who does mom really like here and who is she talking to? So, and it's interesting the reactions you get from people when you're kind of asking, you know, and I don't know, everyone gave me kind of a different answer. I don't really remember particularly. It wasn't the answers I wanted though. So yeah, that's where I'm at. I'm in a situational, Look at this. Look at that. If it strikes you or yeah, and I get like warm, I get like, I don't know, too many energy sometimes from it. It's cool. I

SPEAKER_00: 13:25

love it. Yeah. You're getting the feeling sensation as well. And the situations that you're describing, especially now that the new grandbaby, congratulations, it's kind of in store. It's fun to see that you can feel her presence and acknowledge it. during celebratory times during times of doubt right and just in the ordinary times and I'm going to bring up ask you to bring up a situation regarding the light in a little bit but I'm going to circle back around to Stacy's situation that she reached out to me about around her sign with her mom and the skating and moving forward I was driving back from church Stacy when I got your text message you know to call me and I was really wondering do I put this book out into the world I mean I talked about it I've written it I knew there were a couple errors in it but so I could have like said I'll correct the errors that you have or just continue to move forward I was really in a mind chatter that day and I thought pull it together you've just been to church you know you have to put this out there because you know my story which we were here earlier on in an earlier episode I know that I'm supposed to put this work out here but to have you text me and I think your exact words were something to the effect I need to tell you something and I haven't even told my husband yet and I'm like what is this about and when you told me that that was my sign Stacy that I had to move the forward with this book right back in recent because you're getting the signs you're conveying them to me I needed to hear the sign after you received the sign to kind of continue on this forward motion of really affirming that connection right and creating that belief and I think it's through these personal experiences and stories that we're going to be able to share as you're sharing today that you You know what? It's not all made up and it is real.

SPEAKER_02: 15:47

And

SPEAKER_00: 15:49

when you were talking about your mom being in the backseat or moving away, I immediately thought, even though you weren't hearing her voice, she was showing you that she's with you many times, but you're not hearing her, but she's there, right? Absolutely. Yep. What a revolution that you've had in the last couple of years or last year. of being so okay with things and embracing it because the more we see them I guarantee you listeners the more we acknowledge them the more you're going to see them and they're going to continue to come

SPEAKER_02: 16:28

but there

SPEAKER_00: 16:29

is that doubt and it's

SPEAKER_01: 16:32

Absolutely. And even we were talking about my mom at something she would, my mom was kind of a socialite. She loved parties. She loved people, endless energy. We were talking, my brother had said, man, would mom like to have been here? And we were like, you know, yes, yes, yes. And my husband's like, I miss your mom, you know, so much. We all miss Patty. And then later on he said, how often do you think of your mom? And I'm like, how often do I think of my mom? Well, I was like, I think of her every day. And he goes, do you really? And I said, I do. I never really thought about that but now that you've asked me and I thought about it for a couple seconds here I do I think about her every day so that again was affirming to me to go keep your eye out because it's probably been all around you all along and you just were marching through life and you know it was not how you expected it to come to you and I think that's a big part too you know it's it may come to you in a different manner than what you think it should so be open to many things

SPEAKER_00: 17:38

yeah you're bringing up so many great topics of what we'll be expanding on in the podcast and one of them really is is like your sign might not come as you expect it right and there's so many different ways to obtain a sign or what we think our signs might actually be like just putting it in a little teeny box and we're not open to the rest and you were speaking about how now you get the feeling and stuff and I had that yesterday morning when I was out grabbing some flowers for an event I hosted here yesterday and I was driving to Lens and Barley's and I thought like it's going to choke me up now because she was so present with me I thought gosh I wish mom was here because she just loved to decorate and did it so well yeah entertain and I'm like I hope I do it proud and see like I just get this over overwhelming emotion but I know now I love that though I love that yeah my mom comes when my mom's here I feel her that way she doesn't leave me a feather every day or I don't get a dime or a cardinal you know whatever that resonates with me all the time so now I'm realizing that in the last year year and a half it's like when I get this overwhelming emotion I always used to say my mom will was very you know heart-centered and she would you know let her tears flow you know for the love of whatever was happening I'm like oh I wear my heart on my sleeve like my mom but what I realized is no you're it's your mom with you in that moment right because I'd be like why am I so upset about mom and then I'm like yeah she's here with me right now so I love that you're feeling those sensations as well I

SPEAKER_01: 19:28

yes you know and as you know my dad's in an assisted facility now and he misses her so much but my mom loved jewelry and I have that love for it too and I had found a vintage bracelet and so I just happened to have it on I wasn't like oh I'm going to wear this or you know so my dad can see it or and it was big it was a big charm vintage bracelet you can hear you know how you can hear the tinkling when you move your hand with a thing and so I'd gone down to see him and I walked in and he goes oh for a moment I thought your mother was coming in with all that clump jewelry on the way I could hear it coming and I was like it is it's me and mom we are both here dad so you better behave and you know I just what I loved I just loved it I was talking in the hallway to her I'm like mom look at that even dad knows that you were with me because he could hear the bracelet coming so yeah

SPEAKER_00: 20:31

I love it I'm aware that you're bringing to other family members as well right but she's still here right yes that's amazing um so i know you're talking about really like oh you're knowing now and your intuition i mean you know we work in health care our lives are busy they can be very we're in very stressful situations talk to me about how you may or may not have stayed in touch with your intuition or signs of what's happening and kind of how that's evolved for you because i really see that things are changing most frequently for you now

SPEAKER_01: 21:07

yes yes thanks Kim yeah you're right so I always knew I had like that gut intuition or I would just know things but when I grew up who are you going to tell that to right like who's going to believe you and you know that just wasn't something that was discussed really then or what have you and so I just kind of kept it in my head I'm like I don't know I just have it I don't know whatever you know and I know I shouldn't This feels good. Stay away from it. Don't go in there. I would just get these feelings. And so what really confirmed it for me was when I was in RT school and we had gone to a code situation where a man was in cardiac arrest. I was with my clinical instructor and we intubated him. I put the breathing tube in the man's lungs and so he could breathe and he ended up living. And so a couple days later my instructor said hey let's go see how that guy is doing that we intubated a couple nights ago and I'm like yeah let's go so he's on evening clinicals and so we went and we walked into his room and he looked at us and this man did and he goes well there they are those are the two people that saved me and I got kind of weak in it I mean it was like what and he went on to say I sat up in the corner behind the tv there and watched you guys put that tube in my throat so I could breathe oh my gosh It still freaks me out to this day. And I was like, oh, yeah. And my clinical instructor, I mean, we were both like, what just happened in here? And we walked out. Like I said, it was an evening clinical. It was probably about 6 p.m. or so. And he looked at me and he goes, why don't you go home for the rest of the night? I think we've done enough teaching tonight. I mean, he was so rattled. He didn't know what to do either. And I was like, oh, oh, oh. And so that has stayed with me my whole career that there's definitely, many different things at play in healthcare. You know, is it our skills? Is it some good luck? Is it, you know, the presence of God? Is it, you know, what is at work here? And there's so many different things at work. And as you know, Kim, some people we work on, you're like, how in the world are they alive? And why wasn't the person last week? You know, they should have lived. This person should have died. You can't really... it makes no sense in your head. And there's just so many forces, you know, kind of thing at work. And so I've always been pretty in tune to that since that clinical experience, like people bring their own energy. We bring our own energy as a team, the family brings their own energy. And how does that all that mix in the room or in the situation, how does that all play out? And it's, it's just so curious to me. And so, you know, fast forward to COVID and it was chaos and sometimes I just get these feelings like they're not going to make it they're just they're just not I mean I think we should prepare the family and then sometimes I get feelings of where everyone else was like oh man you know this is going to be a sad slow death I'm like uh-uh they're going to rally we're going to have the rally here and so you know that was that was pretty cool and so I you know was during COVID but the chaos And the fatigue beat me down. And it was kind of like, you just, you got to let this go. We just got to sort of get through this. And, and kind of, I'm getting a little out of this kind of off task here, but when my kids were young, I had really strong premonitions, especially with my daughter, a couple of things did come true and it scared me a lot. And so I decided I don't want to be this person. I don't want to have this. I don't want to have, you know, these feelings at night. I don't want to have worry. I don't like any of this. So I really did my best to get rid of it and tamp it down and blow it off. And I'm not going to think about it. And then kind of when it reappeared a little bit during COVID, you know, and that's when I guess my mom did die at the end of COVID there. And it was like, I gotta make peace with this somehow. And, you know, these premonitions, these feelings, and I want this back. And I'm going to understand it. I'm going to invest more time with it. So slowly, as I kind of mentioned to you a while back there, it's starting to come back, but it's not like it was. So I feel like I'm doing some things. You'd be proud. I went to a sound bath, Kim, and just some other ways to open up some different channels in me. And just let's start, you know, taking everything in again and we'll figure it out as it comes. So I'm trying to get it back.

SPEAKER_00: 26:08

I love it I don't think it's ever lost and I like the fact that you acknowledge that sometimes it was maybe a little bit too much to work into your life or how to deal with it or what if it's true what if it's not true like a lot comes up and when you're being a little mama bear sometimes we just have enough on our plate and we just we don't want to know the dark and ugly sometimes right but what I have found absolutely Yeah, what I have found is like there are these turning points in our lives where we do open ourselves back up again. And my guess is maybe with the passing of your mom and the little knocking on the door, she's arriving in situations, you may have started to come back into intuition quite a bit. But then all of a sudden with mom there, we're looking for that, right? Because we want to feel that connection with somebody that physical present isn't in front of us. And so So I'm so glad that you're taking time to explore and girl, I got a sound bath person you can come to with me anytime. We'll get that going. All

SPEAKER_02: 27:16

right.

SPEAKER_00: 27:17

There's so many ways to open up to our intuition and our knowing again. And I think there are limits, right? Sometimes like you can say like, yeah, I want all my intuition to be here, but I don't want like any dark things in my house or things like that. And that's a whole nother podcast issue. But anyhow, Healthcare, I know, like, from working with you and the respect you have in the hospital, that your clinical decisions are pretty spot on, right? And I feel like some of us in healthcare, we can pretty much walk by a room and sometimes, you know, just intuitively know what's going to unfold. Or we can talk to the doctor and be like, I don't know, maybe we need to do this, you know, and the nurses or anybody might just be like, maybe not yet or whatever, right? Right. makes us good health care providers too is that we're advocating off of the energy of the patient or the energy of the knowing that we're picking up and not losing that and kind of stepping back into that is amazing I

SPEAKER_01: 28:24

agree I'm excited I'm excited to open back up and you know see what's out there and see what I can tune into again and especially the grandbaby coming and yeah

SPEAKER_02: 28:37

I see

SPEAKER_01: 28:37

life a whole new journey for me. You know what else is kind of funny, Kim? What else is kind of funny is, like I said, I never talked about it much to many people, not even my husband, because he'd be like, yeah, sure, yeah. And so... So a lot of things in my thoughts and premonitions come at about 2 in the morning. It's always 2 in the morning. I don't know. Between 2 and 3. And I know there's something in a sleep cycle about that time that happens too. But that's a solid time for me. And so I remember reaching out and I'm like, Jeff. And he was wide awake too. And he goes, what? And I said, I never didn't believe this. He goes, oh, no. It's one of your things, isn't it? I'm like, you know I have things? And he goes, yes.

SPEAKER_00: 29:27

All right, Stacey, you were expanding a little bit on some of your intuition.

SPEAKER_01: 29:32

Yes, and I get a lot of my intuition between 2 and 3 a.m., and I know there's something in your sleep cycles about that, too, but I really, it's my time. It's always been my time, and it's not like, oh, I woke up, you know, or I'm never going to get back to sleep. I know I get back to sleep, and I kind of enjoy it. I'm like, hmm, what am I thinking about? What's out there? That was always kind of my time, and so I don't really remember the specifics of it, but I remember tapping my husband, hitting my husband and going, Jim, are you awake? He's like, yes, I'm awake. And I'm like, he goes, are you having one of your things? And I said, you don't have things? And he's like, yes, Stacey, I know you have these moments and these things. And we'd never really talked about it much or, and so it kind of shocked me. I'm like, oh, do you believe that I have them? Do you know that I know things? He goes, yes, I know you know things. And it's a little bit different than the average I know things so that was kind of a another aha moment for me and you know what he got me he got me that book Blink by I think it's Malcolm Gladwell yes and he's like yes this is you you just have this blink moment and I'm like yeah that's kind of it that's kind of it so yes I'm ready to welcome back my 2 to 3 a.m. hour of what's out there what do I kind of know what should I keep my eye out for or my of eye on. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 31:00

Absolutely. And that personal guidance time, right? That little personal guidance connection, right? Yes. They say the veil is really thin at that time and or you could have been in that really deep REM sleep beforehand, but many people do wake up at that time and get a lot of... At

SPEAKER_01: 31:19

that time.

SPEAKER_00: 31:20

Yeah. Guidance. Yeah, I know

SPEAKER_01: 31:22

that's pretty common. Even sometimes it's just... Yeah, right. Don't let it bother you. Just see what's there and see, you know, what's kind of going on, what kind of energy is around, and you'll go back to sleep. It'll be okay. Yeah. Open up to it. Don't fight it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 31:41

Yeah. Exactly. Yes. Don't fight it. You might be missing out on some really special connection or guidance and direction or just peace, right? from experiencing

SPEAKER_01: 32:00

it. Yeah, and if you're kind of good at meditating or whatever, you could take that time to just do your own little meditation, too. I mean, it's a free hour. Not much going on between 2 and 3 in the morning, Kim.

SPEAKER_00: 32:13

Especially if you're not working the night shift, right? Yeah,

SPEAKER_01: 32:16

that's true. Sorry, sorry. So,

SPEAKER_00: 32:20

we're kind of talking about 2, 3 a.m. in the morning, and that's when light kind of starts to open up in the world. And I would love for you to share a situation story about your most recent trip and some light shining on an item which brought you closer to your mom. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 32:46

Yes. That was in the early summer to Colorado. That was when I was kind of starting to piece together that it's a situation. You know, don't look hard. It's hard. It's there. And just keep your eye open and be open to it. So we were in an Airbnb in Colorado, and this place was kind of strange. It had two, I mean, it was very beautiful. It had two stained glass windows in it, which I thought were kind of odd, but they were pretty and they fit the motif and they were very colorful. And I was waiting for my husband and I was just sitting in a chair there and the light was behind me starting to kind to come in and I was drinking my coffee and just relaxing and I don't know not doing really anything and then it kind of started to come through the stained glass a little bit more and then the stained glass kind of was shining its light on the fireplace hearth and on the fireplace hearth there was a little stack of books and it was shining on the boxcar children and that was one of my favorite I never noticed it there at all the whole time we'd been there and it was one of my favorite books when I was little and my mom used to read it to us all the time we'd get it out about you know check out the next one out of the library and bring it home and mom would read it to you and I was like oh my god it's the boxcar children and it was just so lit up in that beautiful light from the stained glass it was almost religious you know kind of thing and I was like oh my gosh it's my mom and these are good you know just sit and think about this and then you know the memories the good times think about my siblings when we went you know I'll be there it was just such a wonderful moment or you know maybe a wonderful five minutes when I you know just had these great memories kind of just come tumbling forward and when this happens the memories are very clear you know I can like our living room the furniture that mid-century modern it was you know the greens and orange it was so so clear in my head and it's it was that's what also interests me you know I can try to think of it now but it's never as clear as like when I have one of these moments and so that was cool I think I called you right then too didn't I

SPEAKER_00: 35:00

you did and I think you said that you had been frustrated a little bit that you hadn't been receiving any signs for a little bit of time and you might have been even complaining to a girlfriend or something you said and then the minute you kind of just relaxed and sat in that stillness oh my gosh you sign seekers her mom showed up but more importantly Stacy you were there to soak it up witness it and put two and two together some people might have gotten up and said oh the sun's in my eyes I want to move somewhere else or oh that sun is just shining you know like you look and you're like oh yeah whatever it's shining on the hearth right whatever right that made you turn and look and finally realize like oh that's a favorite childhood book right there that's being lit up

SPEAKER_01: 35:50

yeah yeah I mean who has a random boxcar children book in a Airbnb I mean it was such a I was like that is a sign of my god you know amongst some other Stephen King books and stuff it was so bizarre and that it would be you know my favorite set you know and it was just like I can't yeah it kind of gives me chills now when I think back on it yeah I was grabbing one of my friends about it because yeah she was like do you talk out loud to your mom I'm like no only in my head and she's like your mom can't hear you in your head so you know there's that too I guess but it was I had just kind of recently said I want her around more and over the summer we worked on this and she is around more that might have been the thing the impetus that really kicked that off that you know, open this up. It's not going to be in your head like a fireside chat, you know, at night.

SPEAKER_00: 36:51

I really think that that's something like everyone should kind of take note of that sometimes the big bold signs are there, right? Like right in your face. But other times what I'm finding, as many others are, is that it's these subtle, impactful moments that you stumble across when you're not realizing it, but you're open and ready to receive them, right? Maybe even ask for them. You might've said, dang it, mom, give me a sign, right? Or you might've been like, yeah. You know, whatever, having those conversations. So I think it's really good for the listeners to realize like they come differently for everyone. And podcasts, we're gonna create, we're gonna curate that connection that's going to make you believe. And I think these signs are even increasing my belief because every time I've heard yours, I'm so excited because they're not the typical ways people receive signs either, right? Or that they've shared with me. And that's why I think your stories today are really going to impact those that are looking to connect, whether they're grieving or looking for joy, celebrations, or just Sparking that intuition back into their

SPEAKER_01: 38:16

own life. What's your thoughts on that? and you'll be surprised but I am very I should have said Kim I don't think if I if you hadn't written that book and started talking more about this maybe a little bit at work and you know with our different staff and everyone talks about Kim and it's like I don't think without you I would have moved so fast through this I may never have so I am so thankful for you very very thankful for you and your I don't know if guts are the right word, but you're out there and you're laying it out. You're putting it out there and it's for everyone. And so I hope a lot of people take advantage of it and go, she's cool with this. You can talk to her. She gets it. She knows, you know, and it's just so wonderful that you published that book. It's been really meaningful to a lot of people, as you know, here at work and my hairdresser randomly just just ask me if I knew you or if I'd heard of you and I'm like heard of her I know her I

SPEAKER_02: 39:52

love her I'm like what

SPEAKER_00: 39:54

people know me I think that admiration is mutual because like I said Stacy and kind of wrap it up to full circle like I was really doubting whether I should that day and hear the sign that you got from your mom like literally put me in motion just like it did with you and your path to therapy with your foot, right? And the feet, you know, with Louise Hay, legs and feet are all about moving forward in life. Moving forward. Yeah, you have to take those things and run with it. And sometimes we have to do the brain things, right? You and I are exposed to situations that require us to think on the spot to help save lives, right? Along with the team, along with side of us but when it comes to kind of working on our soul mission or developing our own intuition more and trusting our inner self or even just that personal self development and connection that we want with whatever whether it's our loved ones you know whether it's with a new career or whatever our goals are we've got to be brave on our own so I think doing this together with you sharing the stories all the wonderful people that are going to be expressing their experiences hopefully we can create all of these sign seekers and together we can really help change how people deal with grief or uncertainty or the inability to want to move forward like my brief moment that day or even your brief moments when you want to give up like we want it now but it doesn't always show up right

SPEAKER_01: 41:49

no you're spot on just spot on Kim yes and you're right I'm so thankful for you so yes and I know I can always go I'll tell Kim, Kim will get it

SPEAKER_00: 42:03

yeah so I think it's a great time listeners I would like you to think about sharing this podcast episode with anybody that you know that needs to hear about signs right we're just starting this venture together so let's start off by thinking about situations that we're in are we taking time to really slow down like Stacy said whether it's five minutes or embracing that morning waking time that you may be having and what do you need to know what do you need to connect to really what do you need to trust to affirm that connection, right? And create, and create that belief. And if we can all do that together, I cannot wait for you to flood my inbox with stories and we can continue to share and grow this movement. And so Stacy, thank you so much for joining me today. And is there any last words you want to share?

SPEAKER_01: 43:06

No, thank you for inviting me, Kim. This has been fun. I wish you well on this journey. I'm excited to hear what everyone else brings forward. All

SPEAKER_00: 43:14

right. We can't wait to hear more science stories from you.
