03:13Sibling reverie.Don't do that with your mouth.Sibling rivalry.That's good.So it's been a minute.It has been a minute since I've spoken to nobody into this microphone that is potentiallyreaching billions of people because I was just informed that we have just reached the6 billion download mark, which I think is a record.
03:49But I was summer traveling with the family, all of us in Europe and we were in London,we were in Greece, now we're in Colorado.true family vacay all the cousins brothers sisters mom pa everyone and it was just so fun to be withyour entire family like that can it get contentious it can but it didn't it was just fun and when youget everyone together you know you really feel the family unit obviously you feel it when you're notbecause you're just interconnected, spiritually, emotionally.But when you're all together, that energy just starts to pop.And it was incredible.
04:35Truly, truly incredible.But I won't get into the details because we have Marianne DeMarco in our waiting room.She's a medium.She's a psychic.She can see the future.I actually have experience with this.I'm very interested in it.I have been consulting the oracles.
04:54I was a kid because my mother was very into it.So I, and I have a little story to tell, actually.So let's, let's bring her on.Let's, let's get into this.How's it going?I'm good.How you doing?I'm doing great.
05:08Thanks so much for having me.Of course.Thanks for coming on.It's a little nutty right now.I'm in a kid's bedroom in Colorado.We have a full house in the cabin.So there's no room to do shit.So I'm just sitting on the floor, you know, very professionally.
05:24though. I'm in between homes. I'm in between homes. I'm in a little condo in Florida. I don't even want you to see what's around me. So we've got the same vibe going on. I'm facing the wall so you can't see anything. Okay. And for the record, I am wearing pants. I just want to make that clear. Likewise. Okay, good, good. Well, I am really excited to talk to you for so many different reasons. First of all, you know, my mother has been consulting oracles, both mediums and psychics and astrologers.So there's these, this is a crazy diversion, but there's these girls who came on our show calledthe Astro Twins and they do, you know who they are.I've heard of them, yes.And I'm going to get into this story in a second.I was planning on doing it a little bit later, but they literally just texted me as we'retalking.It's really funny.
06:13Okay, back to my world.So as a young man, I have been interested and involved in consulting oracles andpsychics, and it always fascinated me.I would use some of these sessions to help make decisions about jobs I didn't want to do,but maybe thought I should do, you know, about finances or relationships or whatever it is.And they always make you feel good.And of course, me being the deep diving question guy, I'm always like, well, what if you're doinga reading and like, oh, shit, this dude's going to die in five years.
06:53I mean, because not everyone who does readings has a long, prosperous, happy life.No, that is true.You know?That's true.That's an exercise.That's an exercise in boundaries, though, as a reader.But how do you deal?How would you deal with something like that?
07:11I mean, and has that happened in your practice, we're like, oh, Jesus, this does not look good.Yeah.It has, you know, when I was younger, because like you, my mom, really into all of this stuff.So I grew up learning about ascended master's, psychics coming in and out of the house, sort of taught to rely on my own psychic ability.So I've always known that I could do this and I believe that everybody can do it, each one of them.Oh, absolutely.It's why I wrote the book.That's why I write the books I write because I want someone to not have to come to somebody like me.
07:46I want them to rely on their own psychic and intuitive abilities that we've all been born with.So to answer your question, when I was younger, wide open, really no boundaries spiritually.Yeah, I saw some really scary things.I saw, you know, a shadow of what I now know was death on a close friend of mine when I wasreally young.She died the next day.I understood what I saw.Yeah.
08:11So when I started doing this work, I learned quickly that I could say no.I could say, don't show me death.Don't show me illness.I don't want to be responsible for that.Got it.When I'm reading somebody and what I hope when people interpret their own guidance is that you're seeing the best path, the most prominent path in your life cycle, in your soul's story.So for me, I won't see any of that stuff.Does it mean I don't get warnings?
08:43Does it mean that I can't say to somebody, you know, might want to be careful here.Take a look what your guides are showing you and be aware.Absolutely. I get that all the time. It's supposed to be very helpful. And that's what our guides do. They're here to guide us. But when I'm reading people, I don't know that that would serve. So when I teach psychics, because mostly I teach now. And when I teach them about giving readings, will that message serve? Will it give care, concern? Is there compassion? Is there a good intention? Will that person walk away saying, I walked away with something or are they going to walk away, freaked out? I don't think it serves because then we can.we can manifest the worst if it gets into our brains.Our brains are so much.Right. That's interesting.Yeah, I mean, it's not, it's not, it's not being deceptive.It's being selective.
09:32Exactly.Observation and information.And if you're working from the greater good and for the highest good, is that going to serve?I tell people when you receive a reading, if you're not feeling it and if you're feelinglike you're getting something heavy that isn't in alignment with what your gut istelling you, I don't receive that.You put your hand up and you're like, that's not for me.And maybe you get up on out of there too.
09:59Yeah.Go to someone more positive.Right.So you grew up with this.I did.Yeah.I mean, it's interesting.Family business.
10:07It's such a family business.No, I know.I mean, look, we all have a family business.Everyone in our family are in the movie TV business.You know, and you growing up with, you know, in the way that you did, it was almost likea foregone conclusion that this is what was.going to happen to your life? Totally. I mean, I craved normalcy. I didn't really want to bethe psychic kid. I didn't want my mom talking about psychic abilities and all the things in front of
10:34people. I wanted to just ignore all of that. But I couldn't deny what I knew to be true.And now at this age, I understand all of it. I understand exactly why I had all these experiences,is how much I've learned throughout my life by utilizing these tools.And then, of course, what we learn, we teach.And so I'm able to give that over to others and hopefully empower something within themselvesto be able to share that.At what point were you, did you make the decision that this is your path?You know, I mean, because you were young, you're feeling these things, seeing these things,
11:11and then you get older and you're in high school and, you know, and you're a young girl, woman,and then you go to college.I don't know through it to college.But at what point is it like, oh, you know what?This is what I'm going to do.Did you want to be like an engineer first?I thought I'd be a teacher.I thought I'd be a foreign language teacher.
11:27I was really foreign languages.I loved acting.I thought I'd do some acting.And then I wound up getting into like retail business and I stayed home with my kids.And then in my mid to late 30s, I went through a divorce.And we had a close loss at that time.So I was in the middle of double grief managing these two little kids.And I wound up getting an appointment, having an appointment with this woman named Pat Longo, who has just since passed.
11:55And I thought she was a psychic.I thought I was going to get a psychic reading because I really could use the reading.And she said to me, oh, I'm not a psychic.I teach people how to get in touch with their abilities.And just quite automatically, I looked at her and I said, I think I'm supposed to see you now.And out of what felt like a really desperate.time came probably the most, the biggest connection of the most authentic part of myself,which was learning how to do this. And at the time, I was asking, I was really trying to
12:25manifest. I needed a job. I needed stability. I needed flexibility to still stay home withmy kids and do what I needed to do there. And then I started taking classes with her and startedreading people with just a, you know, a few weeks. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So how does this work? You know,because look, you don't know me, but I like psychics. I believe in there's the highenergy, you know, at the same time, I'm not going to manifest two feet of snow because I wantgood skiing. You know what I mean? Like, I don't believe that necessarily. So, you know,if you're manifesting money or selfish things or I want a car or I, you know, I want this. I justwonder how this works from a almost a biological standpoint. Because I understand that we can
13:15changing neural pathways you know kind of fake it before you make it there's all kinds of stuffI've been in a billion years of therapy so you know I could be a therapist at this point so how dohow do you square that what is manifesting manifesting for me is well it's a there's steps to it for metoo learning how to connect with your guides we all have them here your universal team on the otherside spirit guides loved ones angels god universe whatever it is for you and believing in thatBelieving that you have the ability to make that connection is a great start.Understanding how to work with that energy within yourself to make that connection is where you start with true manifesting.The second half of that is the understanding that you already know your story.
13:59Within yourself, your story lives.It's within you.It resides within you.And your guides are here to highlight that.They are here to help you hear your most highest and best self.So if we believe in that, and we believe in the power of our thoughts and our mind and the fact that we know the story,then we know that we are co-creators in our life with the universe and within ourselves that this is a team effort.So when you're manifesting, pay attention to intuitively, does it feel good or is my ego in this?
14:29Am I manifesting something from the greater good and for the higher good?Or do I just want to go skiing next weekend?Now, there's nothing wrong with saying, hey, guys, I really love a great snowy, fluffy mountain this weekend.You know, can you, that, because we're supposed to have a little fun with it.Universe doesn't want us to be so strict.But true manifestation, the real nitty-gritty stuff, if you really want to change yourlife, takes that power of commitment of the belief system within self and within source.But you said it and you forget it because the underlying value in all of that is the trust.
15:01Put it out there.Here's what I want.Here's what I see myself intuitively going.Here's what it feels like to me.And I think what I love what you're saying and what I feel what you're saying is that it's not magic.we are part of it so as the universe starts to show you how to get that story done how to getto that manifestation that you're looking for it's our job to say yes it's our job to do thework that's involved it's our job to learn the lessons along the way that come with all of that
15:31and to me that makes i think it's much more beneficial you appreciate how come so much morebut yeah again and and playing devil's advocate or being the skeptic even though not reallybut I always like to question everything.There's 8 billion people in the world, right?You know, how many of these people are actually trying to manifest something for their livesand how many of them fall short?You know, like that's where I go to as well.You know, it's like, well, I got to get out of this poverty.
16:00I want a better life for my kids.And I'm trying to, and it, you know, it doesn't happen for everybody.Obviously, it can't.So how do we, again, square, you know, who's more blessed and who's like not as blessed,essentially, you know?Exactly.How do you, you know, what do you say to the person who's like, I've been manifestingsomething pure and personal and it's not about me, but it just has never worked.
16:24Yeah.For me, and for how I've learned how to manifest in the way that I teach it, is thateven rejection can be protection, that there's something within that storyline that maybewe have to dig deeper and understand why those manifestations aren't coming into fruition.And what did your soul come here to learn?it's a it's a theory it's something that I work on in a meditative state with my guides and throughthe work that I do just to try and understand it on a base level I try not to go down rabbitholes because I feel like it's a distraction from the work and so I rather try to understand
16:59my own soul story and understand hey why doesn't that come into fruition personally for meit usually brings me back to a space of what I've been holding on to that's not serving meis it fear? Is it doubt? Is it ego? Is it my own brain telling me I'm never going to get there?You're never going to get there. So you just always hold yourself down. Am I listening to people around methat are coming in and saying, you know, you can't do that. You know that that's not going to come in.And so you have to really choose how you think free will is a huge part of that, of course.And so your choices come into play. And then, of course, what type of energy are you surroundingyourself and where does that school of thought come from? I love the question.
17:40it's and it's an honest question because I think people really wonder about that. And then theyfeel sort of cheated. Yeah. You know, because they see other people and they're like, wow,that's really working out for them. Yeah. Where's my bag? You know, what's going on? I've lived thatway. Yeah. I mean, my hat says black sheep, okay? Because even though I've had a successful careerby anyone's standards, right? I still have mom and Kurt and Goldie and Kate and now Wyatt.who's blown up and I've always had this self-deprecating self-talk and I'm the black sheep andblah blah blah you know and it's probably not healthy but it's part of my maybe a protection mechanismand it's also my humor protection mechanism is a huge thing what you just said is one of the key
18:28components of the book the guide's book that I have out now it is why are we doing that toourselves and that's the story that I get really curious with why am I so embedded in I talk a lotabout comparison syndrome within myself.That's my life.Oh, yeah, mine too.And what the fuck?This is bullshit.I should have this.
18:48Right.I mean, I, and it's like, Oliver, that is not healthy.I'm like, and I don't care if it's healthy.This is how I feel.Because you're comfortable there, Oliver.Yeah.We know, we know what that feeling is.And so what I started to do is say, well, what is it about that situation that I'm
19:02finding is just riling everything up within myself?And so I started to get to work with that.Who gave this to me in the first?place. Where did it start? Take me there, guides. And then I would go to that age and start to get towork. It's very therapeutic, but I do it in a spiritual way. And I started to understand deeper storiesabout myself. Does it take the comparison syndrome away? No, but what it does do is it lets me answerit differently. It allows me to say, oh, you know what? That's just my BS. That's just what I do tomyself. I've been here before. Let me answer it differently. When you answer differently,
19:35you change that trajectory of the feelings and everything else involved with it.Yeah.And if you can put yourself in a place of rather than envy or jealousy or sort of comparison orit's sometimes like hatred where you're like, what is this poison that I'm feeling?If you can flip that and you can truly be happy for that person, the feeling is overwhelminglyincredible.You're like, oh my God, have actual genuine joy.for this person's success and it almost is there's an allation to it it's it's a relief yeah it's a
20:14relief exactly and so i go into i go into gratitude for the reflection of the lesson that i canlearn in that moment and then i start doing what you do and saying you know what good for themthey're a good person they've worked hard they deserve it or their relationship looks greati hope they find love i love watching love and witnessing whatever it is for you and thenall of a sudden, I'm out of that space and my whole body relaxes.My mind relaxes and I'm able to hold myself accountable for the feelings that aren't serving.And I just, I'm able to move on.And to me, that's liberating.
20:49It's been the most free parts of doing this work for self is allowing myself to move into thosespaces of accountability and then changing it up.And it also just opens you up for more success because you no longer are using all that,all the capacity with negative energy you know you've opened yourself up to bringing more in you know i i'vei try and it's it's it's work in progress shit you know but for me personally you know i feel like i haveso much untapped talent pushing 50 because i have lived my life a little bit differently i've notbeen extremely career oriented i've been family oriented i've been fun first type of a guydeathbed scenario.
21:32I would rather be on a vacation in Europe than do a movie because what am I going toremember, you know, when I'm surrounded by my grandkids, not a movie, you know?Well, yeah.September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects,or just a fresh season.It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure.I love that feeling of possibility.thinking about where to go next, what kind of place we'll stay in,
22:04and how to make it feel like home.I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnbthat would make the trip unforgettable,somewhere with charm, character, and a little local flavor.If you're planning to be away this September,why not consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're gone?Your home could be the highlight of someone else's trip,a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local.

23:48So, like, it's not like...What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke,but that really was my reality nine years ago.I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family.And then he came to my house.
24:21So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-upcomedy and murder takes center stage.Available now.Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.This is a tape recorded statement.The person being interviewed is Krista Gail and Pike.This is in regards to the death of Colleen Slimmer.

26:14Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup.While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.You think you're finally with the right people in the right handsand then to find out again that you're just not.Don't be fooled.By what?All the bright and shiny.Listen to IVF disrupted, the kind body story,
26:40starting September 19 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,or wherever you get your podcasts.But now that I'm pushing into my later years,It's like I have, I know from a creative place, from a creative standpoint, I have so much and I thinkdifferently and I view the world a bit skewed. And, you know, there's a part of me that needsto get it out there. But there's fear with the fear that goes with that. There are, there isprobably ADHD shit where I get overwhelmed by a lot of the process. We're very similar, verysimilar. Yeah. You know, I'm 54 and I feel like I'm just getting started. Yeah. I mean,
27:23I feel like I've lived like all these lives.You know, I've lived lots of different lives.I talk about reinventing yourself in the book like Madonna.You know, she's been all these like...You're 54. You look fucking incredible.I think it's the natural filter on Zoom.I got to be honest.You look good.
27:36You look good.Thank you.Thanks.I appreciate that.But it's sort of like, all right, well, what...I don't want you to reinvent the Oliver wheel.Like, I don't want to reinvent the Marianne wheel.There's parts of myself that are in my shadow.
27:49And I have to love her all the same.Yeah.Right?And if I try to fight her,She just fights harder.Yeah.Brush.You know, she's a little sassy, right?
27:58I'm not really up for a fight with her.So I have to let her come through sometimes.How I answer her is the key, is the change that has made that shadow for me more thoughtful.It's allowed me to sort of look and say, all right, I made these choices.And your choices have served you well in lots of areas, right?Being with family, one of the most important things you can do.of how your perspective going forward, is it calling you?Is your intuitive self calling you to say, okay, we see what you've done here.
28:29But, you know, you signed up for all this creative stuff now.And that ADHD, because I feel like I'm undiagnosed with that as well,I'm very similar stories.And I'm just learning about it, you know?Yeah, me too.I'm not thinking.So how do I reprocess all of that and allow it to be even more powerful?How do I use these things that I thought were holding me down as superpowers?
28:51I'm working with my guides, being a meditative state, not too heavy, because I'm not like a deep meditator.I sort of talk to my guides and my higher power, just like I'm talking to you.And just because I'm psychic doesn't mean that I'm the only one who can hear them.And it doesn't mean also that I get out of all of what we're talking about here.Plenty of things that have happened.How I answer them, it's just because I've learned some tools to maybe do it a little differently.So talk about the guides really quickly because I love this idea that everyone can sort of test.into their higher self, which I do believe. I did a process called the Hoffman Institute and it was
29:28incredible. And I've talked about so much in this podcast, but it was just about, you know,negative love patterns, get going through your childhood, understanding who your parents were andwhy you are because of their own patterns that they got from their fucking grandparent or the otherparents. And it's that, it's that, it's that, you know, lineage of disaster that you can break.Anyway, you have these breakthroughs and you're so clear. I've never felt moreclear on my life that, and the week after that, I felt psychic. I mean, I could see things andpredict things and encountering people who were the coincidences were not just that, you know.So I do believe that you can get into that. As far as your guides go, how do you find your
30:08guides? You know, I mean, and are the guides different for everyone? And do they manifest themselvesas faces, as human beings, or as just energy? Yeah, yes to all of that. It can, you know,it really depends on your upbringing, your frame of reference for things.Our guides are a universal team comprised of, yes, spirit guides, loved ones, angels.Like I said, God, whatever your frame of references that works, I ask people to lean into that.Again, that's not trying and make reinvent the wheel of something so outside of the box that it becomes unrelatable.As you go along in a consistent spiritual practice, more will be revealed.and then you can see the expansion that they give you and how they give it to you.
30:53When you're working with them and why I lean on them so much and how you do itis really just finding a practice that works within your own authentic space.What works for you?Like I just said to you, I'm just talking to them.I'm just talking to them just the way I am speaking to you.But that's sort of evolved.And psychically, why it starts to work and what you brought out,you did this Huffman thing right and it cleared it cleared space so for that time you weren't
31:24holding on you learned a method that you weren't holding on to everything and you allowed yourpsychic abilities to come to the forefront because all that clutter went away and you enteredentering clarity then when that happens so it's the same thing when you're working with your guidesit's understanding a practice and what works for you I teach about how to do those things in thebook making you consistent believing that you can and thenand creating a relationship, just like with anybody else who would be a guide.And this is for people, too, who it's not necessarily going down a career path as a psychic.Oh, I know.
31:59This is just for your own well-being.This is for your own well-being.Every single person can do this.The books I write are not just, they're not for psychics.I mean, they are.My last book, Media, and Mentor, if you're looking to be a psychic, yes.But that's for regular people, too.That's for anybody.
32:15It's anybody who's looking to make a deep,connection and a higher connection in a really practical way.There's so much you grew up like me, you know, there's so much wooiness around all of this.And I find it so frustrating because there's a label that's attached to sort of being a psychicmedium and what that means and it's sort of mystical and I don't know, I think I'm supposedto have like a cape and like a crystal ball and all things.The fact of the matter is we're all born with disability, every single one of us.we've just been taught to forget it.
32:48We've been told, not you, that's up there, that's separate from us.But we really are part of that light.And so what I hope is that we bring ourselves back to what the soul knows to be true.And that is we can all do this and we're supposed to be doing it.Our guides want us to do it so that we can navigate through this life, this big school, this earth.And figure out what our soul came here to learn because we've all signed up for something.Did you say that, I don't have you said that we are story, we already know our story?We do.
33:21We do.Well, does that, does that imply that, you know, it's already been written?I think the, this is just mine now.Other spirituals might disagree with me, but this is how I see it.I feel like we have signed up for the lessons.Maybe we signed up to learn lessons and fear this time around, scarcity like we were talking about,imposter syndrome, whatever it is.And we're like, all right, you know, put that in my cart.
33:49I think I talk about it being like an Amazon cart, right?Soul comes in.We add some stuff in the cart.We know that this is supposed to enhance our soul's ascension in some way.That's out of our realm of understanding.We're not meant to really understand that part of it just yet.But we come in with these lessons that we pick.How they come into fruition, though, I feel like it's at the good grace of the universe.
34:08I don't really know who'd come back.You know, if you believe in reincarnation, I mean, you know, they're like, hey, you knowwant, I'll take this horrible, terrible experience.I wouldn't come back, right?But I might come back and say, all right, I'll deal with fear in a different level.I'll deal with things that go on in the body in a different level.You know, maybe it's my health.I don't know.
34:30But I don't, it's just my own crazy thought, maybe, but I don't know who'd come back.And I think it's, I wouldn't.The thing is, do you, we have the.Do you have the choice?I mean, of course, this is all, you know, existential crazy talk that we don't have any proof of,but we don't, you know, if reincarnation exists, I'm not sure we have the conscious decision-makingto be like, you know what, I think I'm just going to hang.You know, I don't know.
35:02I mean, I've done past life.I've done past life regression.I read past lives.I have done it in the past.I'm fascinated by them.I think that our soul learns each lifetime, like a very unique thumbprint,etched out and we learn from lifetime after lifetime we bring lessons along my understanding justfrom my own connection and with my guides is that the soul does take on something each lifetime
35:25and it is meant for its development how we choose that and why you know there is that mysteryI don't again I don't think we're supposed to know exactly everything but I'm a I am definitebeliever in that we come here to learn for sure and that hope I believe there's a great reason forI have to believe there's a great reason for that.I mean, there's wonderful things on this earth as, too.And I think when people get into deep spirituality, we have a tendency.You hear terms like, raise your vibration and keep yourself elevated and all those things.It's very exhausting.
35:57We're supposed to sort of visit those places of higher vibration.But the fact of the matter is, is that we're earthly.And we're here to figure stuff out.Yeah.You know, and visit those places as a tool and come back and apply, observe.and learn and teach and give and enrich ourselves and nourish, then we're doing something.Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, you know, I'm not a religious person.Religion to me, I don't understand it, you know, it doesn't make sense to me.
36:28It feels elitist in the sense that, oh, well, this God is the God, but the thousands ofothers, the spirituality, the Maas, that, oh, that's all bullshit because this is the guy.I mean, that's completely crazy to me, you know.You know, I didn't go, I didn't grow up with a religion.I grew up as a spiritualist.And I craved that sort of conformity.I found it, like, again, I just wanted to be like everyone else.You know, I wanted to be normal.
36:58And so as I got older, I took on Catholicism.All it did was get me back to understanding a higher power.It got me back to respecting something greater than this earth.And it would, and it helped very much.my parenting at the time and really understanding. As I've progressed on, I love to listen todifferent schools of thought of different religions and then apply what resonates with me mostand allow myself to sort of just work with parts of that energy, but not in its entirety.I, like you, think the universe is really vast. I think it's just infinite in its knowledge
37:38and infinite in its, uh, in its, in its, in its energy.Well, I think, I think it speaks, I think it speaks to what we were talking about before,which is, you know, this manifestation idea.Yeah.Because it's almost like religion is a, is just a tool to find faith, you know, becausefaith matters. I could have, I could have faith in, you know, in the six of, in the six of,in the six of spades.And if I believe in the six of spades
38:11just as much as someone does in God,it's the same thing because I believethat this six of spades is going to satiate me.It's going to sort of protect me.When things go wrong,oh, it's the six of spadesis the reason for it.Instead of God, it's like there's a reason.
38:30So that matters, I think,because you were actually, again, manifesting.I agree.At the end of the day,Spirit doesn't really care about how you believe in that.Right.The universe doesn't really care as long as you're being good human and you're being kindand hopefully being kind and loving to yourself and the process, and that's what they're
38:50really here to help us to do.But they honestly, to me it's always been a distraction, like I said, it's more importantabout how you're processing that energy within yourself.Can you make that connection on a deeper level?They're not really very picky about how you do it.But if they have to use your frame of reference in order to get youfired up and to get you paying attention, then yeah, they're going to use that as a tool as wellto get you going and to make that connection. So if you believe in the, you know, Sixth of Spades
39:17or whatever that card was, right? You're like, you know what? That's my jam. That's where Iresonate most. And it brings you, it brings you something good. Then go for it. Yeah. No,for sure. I have a friend who's, you know, 50 years old. And, you know, he's single and he wants love,but it's just tough for himand he's sort of an odd ballbut you know he's just always searchingfor something and he foundCatholicism and he just loved
39:45going to the church and he lovedyou know the sermons and he lovedthe people at the church andhe actually ended up getting baptizedand of course I'm making fun of himbecause I'm like what dude you got fucking baptizedit's like it was crazybut I said I said look I'm non-religious
40:02you know and he sends me all these likeit's now it's becausecoming, it's getting religious, but I said, if this is making you feel good, if this is likebringing you peace and connecting you to something that is, you know, keeping your feet on the groundand fucking great. I agree. I agree. I can sit in a church. I can sit in a temple and I can sit at thebeach and still feel grounded and peaceful. Yeah. You know, all of those things. So for me, again,it's like that we go back to that authenticity of who you are and how you want that to to feeltrue within self and and not have to work so hard a lot of my students come to me they're just
40:46working so hard trying to make that connection and instead of working at trying to make itlet's just receive it you just have to sit and receive it and it's you'll get activatedyou'll get connected you know and you can have it be whatever you want it to be I love thatyou're that although you may not may not be the way you would want to do it you're happy foryour friend yeah and without judgment because you're just like releasing it yeah zero judgment butwhen i start getting you know memes about adam and eve i'm like dude like i believe that we evolvedi'm sorry i don't believe in adam and eve you know i mean you don't don't don't push it on melike don't try to convert me i'm like i'm so happy for you but i'm not gonna i don't i don't care about
41:30reading this passage or this orNoah's Ark and I'm like okayit's great it's great I'm happy it's a great storyand I'm glad you love it but like I don'tyou know just just connect to itin a faith-based situation let's talk about how it makes you feelI'm down with that you know I'm down with that tooSeptember always feels like the start

46:55but as far as the manifesting goes I would say just going back to that you know where I think people might get the wrong idea where it's like you're actively manifesting I want this I want that it takes time I would assume like you're putting it out there and then you never know when it's going to hit and I'm I'm prefacing by because of something that just happened to me I've been an actor forever the business is kind of anemic right now I've always had a job I've always alwaysbeen on a series and now I'm sort of piecing it together I'm doing movies here making moneyhere doing this this and that I love to talk I love doing podcasts uh I was been on you knowdrew Barrymore show a few times you know just talking about love and relationships andtrying to see this idea of me being sort of a host you know maybe even a daytime talk show guywhich is not really heard of it's mostly women but I think with the right guy it can workbecause it is mostly women if they like watching a man sort ofbe emotional and sensitive and talk about
47:57things. Anyway, I've alwaysjust said, I have to fucking kill a hosting job.Either the game show host, whatever it is,you know. And thenthe Astro Twinswho we had on basicallysaid, you know, July 27thin my chart, there's some, you've got some
48:13money coming. You're coming into your moneyperiod right now, you know, and thisis going to be a good chunk, but it's, there's going to bea lot of money down the road. I said, oh,July 27, so fucking so specific.I get an email with an offer to host a baking show for HBO Max, you know, and I'm like,well, that's fucking weird, you know, and this isn't something I'm actively manifesting.I'm not sitting in meditation saying this is what I want, but I have thrown it out there to
48:42the universe verbally, talking to my agents, talking to my friends, talking to my parents,like, I would fucking kill a hosting job.So it happened, and the start date is July 27th, which is.So it's just so crazy.I love it.But you, you know, it's interesting about that.So you hear those thoughts coming out of you, right?You know, I would kill it a host.
49:02I'd kill it hosting.I'd be so good at, I'd be so good at it.If someone was talking to you and saying that, you know, you'd be really good at hosting.You should talk about that more.You should talk about that more.That's that universe coming in.Yeah.Those thoughts in the higher self, letting you speak it out loud.
49:20They're like, all right, he's on it.He's on it.Let's give him a validation.enter the twins no denying it now you marrying it up with your intuitive self that's key manifesting in its most natural form you're like something within me this feels rightand you're like you know i'm going to set it and forget it i don't know what it means right now but that's cool and someone else comes in saying yeah you know what we see that for you yeahyou're when you trust the divine timing yeah you didn't lay too hard into it you just know it might happen and that it feels good if it does yeah that's meis the most natural form of manifest.Yeah, I sort of felt like,
49:55because I've never been an active manifester,meaning like, I'm going to.Might be natural at it.You know, some people are just really a natural.If you're,if you're a talker, especially,and you speak out those dreams,and you speak out what you're looking to do
50:07and looking to achieve,and it just feels natural to you.The universe has big years.Yeah.It likes listening.Yeah.Yeah.The universe is a big year.
50:15It's really do.All right, we're coming up on it,but I just want to know,you know, do you have to shut it off?meaning, you know, I'm assuming you do as you're nodding, but, you know, it's like you almosthave to turn the switch off, right?I mean, you've got kids, you've got relationships, you've got friends, you've got all that.You know, you don't want to be, you know, seeing dead people, right?
