Hello and welcome to Spiritually Speaking with me Sam and with me Jess. Welcome back. Hello, welcome back. I'm hoping that this audio is okay because I realised this morning that I have left my microphone in the UK. It's alright girl. We, you know, Mercury Retrograde, I can't get my bloody words out, Mercury Retrograde has been causing problems here, there and everywhere. When I saw your message, I was like, do you know what, babes? It is what it is. We'll find a solution.

But in the meantime, you've got your AirPods in. So bear with us, guys. Hopefully it's not. I'm sure it'll be fine. And we'll be able to get normal soon. So, babes. Yeah, I'll get them back how are you you're back in Dubai I am yes yeah back in Dubai almost been back a week um yeah good the flight was fine the flight was good the. The girls were great. And that was, all that was absolutely fine. Obviously, it was sad saying goodbye.

That wasn't the nicest. Not, like, sad, like, crying or anything, but just, you just feel it. Like, you're just a bit like, oh. So, yeah, that was hard. Although, actually, when I said bye to my sister's little girl, I did have a little bit. So, I did feel sad saying bye to her yeah yeah um she's so cute um so yeah but happy to be back very happy to be back and what's really weird is I've actually lived in this house less time than

I've been away from it I really yeah so like I came back and I kind of forgot we forgot where everything was like I don't know it felt a bit weird coming back I didn't really feel like I was coming back to my home yeah it still feels new like now I do like now I love it but yeah it still feels very new um but yeah happy definitely happy to be back um and just hit the ground running it feels like definitely feels like you've been hitting the ground running girl yep the girls have obviously they're six months now so they are now weaning oh bless them so we had this amazing idea to start weaning when we got back and I actually wanted to do a bit sooner in the UK because I just thought oh let's just get it done like start the journey of it and

Andy was like no come on let's just wait till we get back anyway we've started it now and that's a thing in itself like I feel like I need a day to like research it and I kind of wish I'd have done it sooner that side of it but anyway it's fine I'm in my mum era of weaning I've been making fucking courgette potato and carrot mix together I've got sweet potato green beans and broccoli mixed together like yeah it's a whole thing um yeah literally spent the day doing that yesterday um so we've got that going on obviously the salon stuff is a whole thing in itself um oh god do you want to share anything about that or is it sort of all yeah yeah so we I went back and just like to obviously look at what I'd progressed and it has progressed however there has been a few like road bumps which is to be

expected um but then like I'd gone in for example I'd met the contractor he'd given me all these new samples I hated 99.9% of them um so then I needed new ones and then it's just I'm finding it hard making these big decisions um which I don't normally find that hard but for some reason this time around I am um and yeah it's just been a lot. It's been a big change. Yeah, I don't really know how else to say it other than it's been a lot. It's just a hell of a big, it's a big, big decision. It impacts a lot of people. It's just a lot.

I don't know. Yeah, and maybe because you've done it before, you was maybe anticipating like, oh, like I've done this. And actually it's brought up challenges that are newer or like what you've not had before because it's like more people involved. And, you know, all those sorts of things. So I totally get that. I think that's OK. Yeah, I think that's probably what it is, because before it only impacted me.

Yeah. Like I had Joy and Anne were set up to start with me when the salon opened but they were just like waiting in the wings like they were so so that didn't impact them too much um whereas this really impacts a wide number of people um so I think there's probably obviously a bit of pressure there and also there's pressure in a sense I put on myself that although I have all this going on I'm trying to still be the best you know not the best but a good you know mum wife daughter friend everything else like I don't want

to then be like vacant for anyone else in my life but obviously there are times that I'm just gonna have to put a pin in that and just say like I'll get back to you at some point um yeah but yeah so yeah it's just one of them really but it'll come along like I went I spent the night the other night at Dragon Mart have you been to Dragon Mart? I love Dragon Mart oh my god it's insane I think it's actually got better should we explain what Dragon Mart. Oh my God, it's insane. I think it's actually got better. Should we explain what Dragon Mart is to the people in the UK that don't know? Yeah. How would you describe it though?

So I would describe it as like one of those places, like I'm going to go more emotional with Dragon Mart, okay? Okay. Like it is so overstimulating in every possible way that if you are in like a fragile state of mind, it could tip you over the edge. Like if I was on day one of my period, I wouldn't go to Dragon Mart, you know? And I would wear my hair in a slick bun. I would have my trainers on and definitely be in gym clothes with water and like some snacks before and ready to like take it on.

So that's like, you've got to be in that mindset. Would you agree? Yeah. Oh, I couldn't agree more. You have to be like fully prepared for what you're going in for. I remember people said to me before I'd ever got on, like, when I'd first moved to Dubai, they were like, you will lose your car.

Like, you will lose where you parked. You will lose it. And I remember being like, fuck, how big is this place? It's like a maze. Well, I actually went to Dragonmar on the first day I moved to Dubai like I think I landed honest to god I landed about 10 a.m and the salon that I was working at like there was like loads of bits that were still needed so we went like I think probably about seven o'clock that night and that was my first experience I was a bit jet lagged a bit tired

but I did have the sweet corn I'm surprised you stayed in Dubai I know oh okay I've never had the sweet corn yeah sweet corn is good yeah no Dragon Mart is intense but it has it's like 10 shops on like either side of you at one just one little point that all sell the same thing yeah it's like they all sell the same yeah it's like a market um but it is amazing so like I actually think it has got better as well so um we'd gone in and basically I was looking for tiles the array of tiles that they have there is incredible um and it's the type of place where you can barter and like we'd found this tile that like we loved and I said oh can I have a sample of it he's like we don't have samples and we've only got like the big the big tile and I just went well can you not just break some off

and he like looked at me like uh and he went oh I haven't got a tile cutter and when I'm sure someone's got a hammer in one of these shots and he was like right okay and he went oh I haven't got a tile cutter and when I'm sure someone's got a hammer in one of these shots and he was like right okay and he did he just like hammered his tile and they gave me this like massive broken piece of tile I was just walking around with that um but a million people were coming up to me like um do you want a fake bag do you want this do you want this like I but I've never had that experience there before well the thing is it's like you walk down one bit and it's like lighting toilets tiles toys makeup crocs that are fake all the fake clothes yeah call the um giving movement tracksuits they're everywhere and like

yeah like it's so random um like when I had first moved to dubai it didn't have any of that really there was no no there was no like fake gear it was just all like home stuff yeah really more than anything not really like garden furniture things like that yeah yeah yeah just random crap basically but you can find some really good gems if you really deep I think like the best way that I can compare it to the people in the UK is like home bargains is like a really wholesome experience for me like and dragon mart isn't as wholesome but it is like on steroids a bit rough and ready equivalent like you find shit you don't mind i went yeah i was there at like 10 o'clock at night and it was busy yeah yeah but of course it is all the all the locals

would have been there at that time of night i know but still and we checked if it was open until that time it's open till 2 a.m yeah yeah yeah they love it oh it was wild but anyway so yeah i went to dragon Mart got some samples so that was good it will not be the last time next time you're there right what you need to do is take a video of you like in your vibe and do a video for the listeners so people that don't know what Dragon Mart is can get an experience I'll probably be there again soon so yeah I'll do that um yeah but um so yes I've been doing that trying to organize that organizing new staff new starters um current staff um and then yeah it's all just been a lot oh and then I didn't tell you this actually so L'Oreal messaged me

and they're doing this new campaign called head up okay and basically it's about like mental health to do with the hairdressers people behind the chair with their mental health and um times that they've felt not great but then they've still been working and things like that and anyway this woman who works in fact I think she actually does listen but um she works for L'Oreal she's lovely and she's so vibrant in the way that she speaks and she was like we really want you to be a part of this like I think it's been amazing what you've done and you've shared your journey with fertility treatment and like just really like digging me up and I was just a bit like wow this is you know really really nice um so I'm gonna do a thing for them like a video for them for this like head up program

and which is really nice but what I was getting to with that was that to do it I had to write a little bit about like going through a time when you obviously weren't feeling great um while still working um and I find it's really weird it's a bit almost like triggering isn't it yeah when you have to like go back to remembering how you felt at that time yeah absolutely that was that was a lot like she kept asking me for it and it was like over a couple of days where I needed to write it and I was like it's really hard to write because you really have to go back to that place to write it like I can't just off the cuff write it do you know what I mean oh 100% like not that it's the same that I've started writing like chapters for my book that I don't even know

whenever I'll ever let it out I don't know it's just there and like I was going into like things of like being a little girl and I had a lovely childhood but like thinking about how I felt and then like teenage years and I was like all this stuff was coming up for me and I don't know if I need this on a Sunday afternoon like I think I'll come back to this another day and I think the energies right now are a bit deeper so it probably is just a bit more sensitive but also like as much as it's difficult like it's incredible to share your story and that obviously how much you've shared your story already that has benefited so many people so it's one of those things that you know it's good to go and rub the

wound a bit sometimes and face it yeah um and there's a reason why you've been asked to do it and maybe it's just to give that time a bit of love and a bit of reflection yeah that's true that's a nice way to look at it yeah absolutely yeah so that's kind of been what I've been up to really um yeah insane intense time oh and I've had a new nanny star amazing and how's that going yeah I love her I absolutely love her I really really love her um I'm just hoping that it continues the way it is which I really do think it will but um I feel very happy very content very comfortable um so yeah fingers crossed fingers crossed amazing amazing it's all going on all systems going it is all going on literally how about you why have you

been up to so still in Vietnam um and I'll be here for I think another week or so um so I'm near the beach so what's been really good is um I've had a bit of a base for a couple of weeks which I've really loved um work has been really busy it's actually been like the busiest I've ever been in August and anyone that's self-employed oh wow knows yeah how that can feel when it's not like last year was really tough for me um I was with family so I was happy but I just remember saying like I don't want another August like this um and yeah like the changes I've been making to like my services and things have really made a difference so I feel really positive about that so I felt really proud actually proud good and I know that a year ago would be really proud of me right now. So that was nice.

I had a little moment to reflect on that. I've had to deal with like some bits of my property at home. Like my tenant is leaving. So then I was like sorting out viewings. But like my parents have been like so amazing. And I'm just going to give them a little shout out because they've done so well, bless them. Like they've just been sorting out like the viewings they like the right people like helping me with my current tenant who's lovely like but like I'm so lucky because like

it's really hard when you're not home to sort that stuff and you're not there yeah so like I do really really appreciate my mum and dad I always do but especially right now because it takes a lot of the stress from me um and probably adds to them to be honest so thank you mum and dad I always do but especially right now because it takes a lot of the stress from me um and probably adds to them to be honest so thank you mum and dad yeah you know bless them um so that's been going on but like all good there um and just planning like the next few weeks of travels which is really exciting so I've got a bit of an itinerary yeah so what are you doing so um we're heading to Hoi An for a night and we're going to stay in a nice hotel because I have been staying in like okay places like I've got windows and balconies and hot water um sorry I had a room with no

I said you're not in a cult I didn't mean that and then you're not in the monastery anymore yeah I was gonna say well it was a cult wasn't it let's be honest yeah yeah no that was like a week of like unbelievable living circumstances and everything has been better since now when I was in Ho Chi Minh which is like the capital like it's like very busy and hotels just don't have windows because they just want to cram as many rooms like my room's really big like I'm in a studio where like it literally was a bed and like a bathroom and I was like oh god um so yeah so nice hotel booked um and then um head into a place up north in Vietnam called Banh Mi no that's the god I keep saying that that's the food um Binh Minh I don't know if you've heard of it.

You could have said anything and I'd have been like, yeah, sounds great. That means the baguette. I keep getting it wrong. I do this. I get things in my head. So that's like more green. People do bike rides. And there's a group of us.

It would be really nice. It would be really fun, really sociable. And then we're going to head to Malaysia, which is really exciting. And there's like some islands in Malaysia where the water's like really blue and clear. And there's like turtles. So it's going to be a bit more like snorkeling. So it's going to be like a bit more action packed. A bit of a holiday.

Yeah. And I'm actually going to take some time off. Yeah. So I think I'm going to have a week of not working on readings um and coaching which is fine because it's actually a week free in the diary already so it was meant to be um so yeah because I just feel like I'm not switching off like my brain is on the go 24 7 like I had a dream last night that I was in a caravan and this lady came in and stole all my stuff and she was just standing outside the caravan holding it all just going I've taken it you can't have it now and I was like give it back like I was really shouting at her it's really bizarre very bizarre um um where are we going with

this dream what does this dream mean well I did think I was like who's taking something from me someone taking my energy and then I was like no I think it's because I watched a scary documentary and the night before so I was a bit on high alert I was watching um Lacey Peterson the Netflix one I haven't watched it but I've heard about it but I've not watched it so well when I say I've heard about it I haven't heard about it my friend just texted this morning saying have you watched it so I know it's a thing yeah but you know what I really haven't watched TV for such a long time yeah the whole time I was at home I didn't watch TV other than the Olympicslympics and then now I've come back and I'm like I have so much stuff to watch but I ain't got fucking time yeah well

I don't really watch tv I don't but I will watch like a murder docu-series because I do I do find them fascinating um right I'm gonna have to ask this question because I know that people are going to be thinking it could Could you solve a murder? Absolutely. I felt like I solved it all while watching it. No, really? Well, like, I would say, like, there was a few things that I would say and then, like, it would happen. Like, it was just a few things.

But yeah, they're like,'s please do you psychics don't they I always yeah this is what I mean I've heard of that I always know who the baddies are like even in series within five minutes like you know like a BBC ITV drama and like it's not always clear like I straight away I know and that and that's it like I'm I'm waiting to see if I'm right and normally I am wow yeah that's so crazy but with this we're going to do in that like helping the police no sorry I really don't know I find I think I probably would have been a good black police officer because I have a lot of empathy but I'm also like able to read people quite well um I wouldn't be a good

police officer like running on the streets I'd be like fuck that like they'd all get through I don't mean that but I mean like would you go into doing that now like helping no I wouldn't because I feel like there's a lot of pressure on that and when there's pressure I can get quite clouded um on what the visions can be uh but like watching something or whatever I have a bit more clarity um but yeah there are some things like I have very strong beliefs on that have happened in the press or like criminal stuff where I'm just like yeah like even to the point of like Jack the Ripper like I'm obsessed with Jack the Ripper like weirdly obsessed like yeah I've got a question for you but I'm not going to ask you on the part I'm going to ask you off the part I just think

some things shouldn't yeah something's probably a bit more sensitive but yeah what the Jack the Ripper what what are you so um like I am like obsessed with the story and it actually was similar to this documentary on Netflix actually um because it's about you know being victims and obviously work I do work with men but a lot of the time I work with women and I work with women that sometimes can be vulnerable you know so I think and I think I was a vulnerable in my relationship in my early 20s and I and you know I can see how things happen sometimes and especially when you meet people and read for them you see the depths of their dynamics um so yeah like there is an obsession with it and i think with jack the ripper

i think like i think it's sad that these women were sort of like portrayed in a certain way i have actually been listening to loads of podcasts by the way um if anyone loves stuff like this uh not just the tudors is a really good podcast and some there's another one it's called like the history podcast and they actually do loads on like the witch trials Jack the Ripper Henry the Eighth and I love it like I'm obsessed with it like anything like that like when all my friends laugh like whenever we go like away like you know like Airbnb we went to um Suffolk and there was like the castle there and I'm like girls we've got to go and they're like for fuck know, like Airbnb, we went to Suffolk and there was like the castle there. And I'm like, girls, we've got to go.

And they're like, oh, for fuck's sake, like we do the tour. And I'm like, and they just giggle. Like they find it hilarious because me and the tour guide would be like. Yeah, I would. So I do love anything like that. But no, I just think it's fascinating how like these stories come about. And obviously it is fascinating who Jack the Ripper is um because who is he who knows I'm now talking like I'm a historian

oh my god I just yeah I just find that and certain murder trials and cases very fascinating um so yeah there's lots of but like with Jack the Ripper obviously like that all happened in East London and I used to work right near where it all happened um so like there was walking tours I must have done that walking tour about seven times I'm not even joking like I swear on my life oh wow yeah like I did it with my parents um years ago and then just sort of it became this thing I took my friends on it like I've gone with I think like I think I went with my ex-boyfriend yeah like I just love it and it's hilarious I know it's very random so anyway but the Netflix story I would watch it um it's a really oh sorry someone's just knocked at my door it might

be Jack the Ripper oh fucking hell one second just give me a sec oh I don't need them oh I don't know is it Jack the Ripper doesn't sound like it just to clarify it was not the spirit of Jack the Ripper it was housekeeping giving me hangers um so yeah the netflix story um it's really sad like i've really cried at the end um and i don't know if i want to watch that one i think it's really good i don't like watching sad stuff because i think it's it's um it happened in the early 2000s um and I think you see behaviors that's really spoken about now with like narcissistic behavior uh love bombing and things like that but obviously in that time that wasn't a thing um so yeah I if yeah if you want to watch it but just read the description because like she's pregnant and things like that so like it's oh no I'm not watching that yeah it's not gruesome but it just shows you no I know I just

yeah it's too much I don't know maybe I'm a bit um ignorant to stuff like that but I just I can't watch it I feel like it's all I can think about if I watch something well that's all I could think about but I think like what it shows you is like domestic abuse and sort of the mental part of it as well and what can happen that you just don't realise is happening behind closed doors. And I think for me, obviously, like I'm used to having those conversations. So like it's something that I work with people on

and I've gone through in my own way in my relationship so yeah like it's it's one of those so anyway so I do think though like having yeah like having girls as well like I feel like I live with fear definitely since I've had girls because I do think about stuff like that and I live I literally live with fear because I just think god I just hope that you know you have a good life and that these things don't happen to you and well I don't know why but I have such a fear about it well I think that's what it shows you and obviously like you know I am absolutely a feminist and here to support women and help men grow as well. But there is a lot that happens to women, especially in the UK. There's been a lot of stories as well.

Like, you know, there's a lot where women are victims and, you know, men are as well, but women are more so. So there's a lot that happens there. So I think it's good to learn. I do. And I think it's good to look to do and I think it's good to and I think it's good to see like your your bias behavior on it because there's some things like you know he he was having an affair and like you can see how society judge him for that and like you know people do have affairs

you know and it's like you know just because he had an affair did he commit this crime and you sort of see how like community come together and make assumptions and it's very interesting like when you sort of watch it so you know if if you you know find things like that interesting I would give it a go um but yeah it's hard being a woman in that sense though. Like I think, you know, having girls especially, but I think, you know, our little souls, all of ours have chose to be here in this world. And also not being funny,

Jack the Ripper was roaming the streets 200 years ago or whenever it was, 150 years ago maybe. He was causing havoc. I don't think we can ever get away from it. I think this is just the animal in us unfortunately and we just have to i don't know keep going that is what hilarious that we've gone back to jack the ripper you're obsessed we need to do a whole bloody crime crime episode no so what else have you been doing so you said you've been working loads this is why you've had this dream and then we've ended up on Drat the Ripper um yeah so working

loads um I went and had um so went to a local Vietnamese market the other day in the morning to get like food for that day um so there's like a group of us and one of the girls is Vietnamese so she's been sort of taking us and showing us things. Oh my God, it was great. It was like chaos, but like amazing. Like we were the only English people there, which was really cool. And we had like full on spicy Vietnamese food for breakfast and it was great. Oh.

Loved it. You know, like it's just, but it's just like, again, it kind of Dragon Mark vibes, very overstimulating it you know like it's just but it's just again it kind of dragon mark vibes very over stimulating you know like I can imagine I've taken some videos I'm going to post that on my story today or Friday when people listen um and then um she also cooked us like some amazing food um but it made me laugh because I was like oh can I help like can I get involved like let me know and she's like oh can you deal with the crabs and I was like crabs what do you mean like deal with them like and she's like they're not she's like they're alive oh yes they buy them and I was like oh babes absolutely not I'm sorry um and also like at the monastery

I was meaning more like did you want me to add some salt or like stir something I was like I'll set the table babes I'm not gonna like but she actually was like someone needs to like deal with the crabs and I was just like oh this is a bit much for me um so I didn't partake in that activity and I did make the table however like it was a very like local Vietnamese homemade experience and that's lovely do you know what I mean like you don't get that you know unless someone's yeah it's beautiful it's really nice but it's giving I'm feeling sad now about these crabs I know sorry god i'm bringing i'm bringing all the vibes jack the ripper crabs what will be next samantha

so yeah so that that was great um and then oh my goodness the full moon was unbelievable especially here in vietnam did i text you that I don't know I meant to I don't know if I did but my friend texted me she was like oh my god go and look at the moon yeah so I went and stood outside and I was like where is it and then I was like jesus christ it was blue yeah so it's it was a super moon super blue moon actually so that's why and it was orange here in Vietnam which was very cool um so we went down there just to chill and it was just unbelievable like how beautiful the moon was and I just feel like I haven't seen the moon like that for a very long time I think it was probably two years ago in Dubai that I saw it like that and it is in August that you have the super moon so when it's super it's closer to the earth so that's why it looks bigger yeah but the energies are more intense so should

we talk about what's been going on because not being funny has been a bit of a shit show in the energies a lot of people have reached out telling me how they're feeling which may mean that people listening have been feeling like that so should we talk a bit about that energy and the full moon and how that's been affecting us all and what it's trying to show us? Okay, my girl. So chip in whenever you want because I will just talk. So, you know, when I get all spiritual. So the full moon happened.

It was big. It was bold. And I think for many of us, we felt a bit heavy over the last week or so. Okay. Maybe a bit longer than that. And when I say heavy, it doesn't mean sad. It can just be overwhelmed. It can be agitated. It can be sensitive. And there is some stuff happening in the sky now that has been happening and we have still got some more to come um that is bringing this up okay now i'm not going to go into the details of astrology because i'll lose you but what i'll do is i'll talk about the emotions that sort of are stirring up um and what i feel on a soul level we're being shown so soul work okay we're all here as a soul

living a human experience that's my belief you don't have to agree but that's kind of how I'm going to look at this so our souls are here we all have a bit of karma we've all done things wrong before we've done things wrong in this life like killing a crab I don't want that karma on me do you know what I mean like that would add to my tally. So I was like, no. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, fuck that. I ain't killing them crabs.

It's just, it's not right. So, you know, we do have things attached to our souls where we have to work through it. And I believe that our souls come here and they choose things to learn. So when we struggle in life, the human part of life can be difficult. I think our soul is trying to help us understand something. Okay. And that's what's happening very deeply right now for many of us. And even me, I'm experiencing it. So I'm not sitting here on the mic preaching. I'm sitting here feeling and really exploring this discomfort. And I'm sitting here feeling and really exploring this discomfort. And I'm happy to share some of it with you to inspire.

So there's a cycle happening that was sort of a 12 year cycle. So things have kind of been brewing in the energy. And the best way that I can describe this is things that you've put off on an emotional level on a spiritual level or things that you've just not wanted to deal with okay whether that's some healing from a past situation so sam that that lady that reached out to you to ask about your story to me kind of aligns with astrology that there's a little bit of healing with that so like actually have you done it yet have you wrote it yeah okay so like maybe you could do a bit more with it as well but like that that would to me would be an opportunity for you to go in back to that space and feel it right and and heal

some of the wounds that are there okay and you And, you know, stuff is coming up. Like for me, for example, so like I had stuff coming up from like my relationship when I was in my early twenties. Okay. So like my, my boyfriend cheated on me and he literally like,

we lived together. We had a mortgage and it came out of nowhere and he literally just left and like never came back. And like that abandonment wound I thought had been dealt with but it hadn't and obviously I'm now sort of you know meeting new people obviously I'm spending time with one person in particular like things have come up for me with that wound that I really thought I'd sorted out in therapy. So like stuff is coming up that you're like, no, that's sorted. I've done it.

I haven't got to deal with that again. Yeah. It also involves people, people from the past, people coming back or problems from the past that like haven't been there for a while and all of a sudden you're like, what the fuck? So there is this energy swirling, but it's okay. So then the next thing is, you know, if you're not feeling those things, you could just be feeling like you're in an overdrive. And I think for you, Sam, right now, it's not necessarily past trauma. Obviously,

you know your mind more than I do. But if I was to go a bit psychic into you right now I don't think it's like all trauma from your past I think that you've got a lot in your head you've got a lot to deal with you're in this sort of overdrive and the skills you used maybe a few years ago aren't working and you've now got to find some new skills and that feels a bit scary would you would you agree with that yeah so yeah 100 so you've been given a gift given my opinion you've been given enhance your sorry again the audio just went so you've been given a gift to enhance your toolkit, to make it bigger, to make it better. Okay. Instead of, oh, my God, this worked before.

Why is it not working now, which is what we can do? Do you know what I mean? Instead of going, oh, I'm going to learn some new stuff. I'm going to be faced with this challenge, and this is going to help me with this, and that's now a tool in my toolkit that I didn't have before. So that's what I'm seeing. Okay.

So what I'm asking people that I'm working with right now, this is all we've spoken about in the last two weeks of every client. Everyone has identified struggles that have hit a peak in their life. And we're saying okay spirit universe whoever how can this help me what is this showing me and I'm not going to be a victim to this because I think sometimes what happens on a human level is we become a victim to our scenario so for example with me the abandonment oh poor me like when I was this age my boyfriend left me oh my god it was so difficult I definitely had that for a while like it was like a day because those wounds for me were really painful I'm a Scorpio moon like literally if someone does

anything to me I struggle to forgive I've definitely forgiven him. But that wound of that time, so painful. Like I put a plaster on it and it didn't heal. And spirit said, like, if you are meeting good people now and you want to sort of progress it, we need to sort this out. So then you go, okay. Yeah, definitely. So you're helping me. You're helping me.

And they have. Like, honestly, like I cleared a lot of it up quite quickly in about a week. There might be some more that comes up. That's okay. But what I'm realizing now is it's not against me. It's for me. And that's what I want everyone listening to think about, that this energy that's happening, if you are feeling overwhelmed, you're feeling struggles, things feel difficult, this is not against you, it's for you. And remind yourself that.

I think that's such a powerful thing to think of, that it's not against you, it's for you. Because like you said, I think so many things can happen to people and they'll have a bit of a pity party. And that's okay for a day like you say or whatever maybe not even a day but um to look at it as like right what is this going to teach me is amazing and and it goes back to that soul work babes that you know when you think about the soul and this is how I approach all my coaching okay we look at the soul and we look at the human experience. So my soul came into this world with a dynamic that was very spiritual

and very wise. I was young with wisdom. It was weird. Still is a bit weird. But whatever, that's what my soul chose. What my soul chose was struggles in one-on-one relationships, and I'm totally comfortable that my soul needs to learn that. So I'm, you know, and sometimes it's hard like I'll be honest like when I think about my life my

career has been incredible always you know like I have a beautiful family I've always had amazing friends but when it comes to relationships with men I've struggled so I know that my soul has got to do some work there and I'm not going to feel sorry for myself all the time. But what I will do, I will feel into it and I will lean into it and I will sort of see what's coming up there. And it helps me when I look at the soul because I feel like the soul wants to grow. And I think I believe in reincarnation as well so I truly believe that the work I'm doing for myself now will benefit my next life and I also believe the work I'm doing now will benefit future me in one year one week five years 50 years do you know what I mean yeah

I completely agree I completely agree so I feel very passionate about this energy because we've got eclipses coming up in September. Like eclipses are intense and I will make sure on the pod that we get some content for that. Because I think for a lot of you right now, this will carry on with the eclipse. There is a theme happening and we need to just check in. We need a little bit of support. So like a bit of advice I've given to people is like sit with people that you value, people that you picked and, you know, talk through. Make a plan.

Like be a bit vulnerable. Like I've been a bit vulnerable. Like, I've been a bit vulnerable. I've shared with you a part of my life that I've struggled with, you know. And in society, when you struggle with that part, relationships, it's the most, like, failed part, you know. People are, oh, you know, it's very triggering. Yeah. But I'm doing it with you, but with lots of people listening. But I would love for people

to go and have a coffee with whoever it is sisters mums whoever husbands whatever it doesn't matter and really like be vulnerable and like acknowledge some of the stuff that you're struggling with instead of like pretending it's not there and then once you've acknowledged it you know see if you've said them down but if you can then start thinking about what could you do to help and grow this what a spirit trying to show you to help you move forward okay now all of you will have something in your life that you're struggling with okay even if you're very content and happy, you might not be speaking up. It might be that for you, Sam, you're overwhelmed. It's things that everyone will have.

So for you, Sam, obviously Andy's great for you, where you two can just sit and chat. Obviously, we have a lovely dynamic as well where we can do that but I would sit with him and talk about it get pen to paper and be like right how are we gonna work through this how are we gonna do this like I might need a bit of your help yeah you know it's that sort of stuff always that's since you're a therapist it could be it can be many things but I would just say for a lot of people right now it's a bit full-on yeah definitely I think like you say I think confiding in confiding confiding in someone um it's always a good thing um and

yeah I think that it is it's fine to be vulnerable yeah and it's you know not everyone is okay all the time well and that's it babes like obviously like you know I I find the reason I can share things when I do is because I hear so much and obviously like when I sit on this side of the table like I see the most vulnerable version of everyone usually you know and I just wish that we shared more of that because I think if we were all more open I just think life would be so much easier I think that we would be able to overcome so much more because we're constantly pressuring ourselves because of others. I really see it.

And social media is a big part of that. I know I talk about that a lot, but I just think we're all kind of working it out. And I don't think you ever work it out and really until the day you die. And I think you then go back up to heaven, wherever, and the soul goes, goes yeah I worked on this but I need to do a bit more yeah career brilliant smash that don't need to work on that you know it's that sort of thing yeah I can remember being a kid and thinking like oh okay when like and I

mean like a young kid thinking oh when you get to 30 you know everything yeah I can remember actually I had this teacher and um this kid had brought in I think he had ducks at home right so he brought in duck eggs and it was blue and the duck egg was blue and the teacher said oh wow I didn't know you could get blue duck eggs and I honestly looked at this teacher like my whole world had just collapsed because in my head if were a teacher, you knew everything in the world. Yeah. And I was just looking at her like, what? Like, how did you not know something? Like, it like shocked me so much.

And then, so I think that as a kid, I always thought like, okay, when you get to 30, you'll know everything. Or when you get married, it means you know everything about relationships or when you become a salon owner it means you know everything about owning a business and then as I've got all these different points in life I'm like oh shit nobody knows everything like exactly what you just said like just because you're the president of a country doesn't mean that you know everything yeah do you know what i mean just because you've got millions in your bank account there is something that we could teach jeff bezos yeah absolutely we could be like babes just get spiritual you know i then you know nothing

because you know there's there's some ego at play there and do you know what I know nothing I genuinely mean that like I I'm learning every day and there are things I've learned but like I will learn so much more for the rest of my life. Like when I think about me being old and grey and wrinkly and just like being all crazy in the woods, probably wearing no clothes, living my best life. Jesus Christ. Like, you know, even then there's so much I won't know you'll still be learning oh yeah so I think

there's so much that and also another point this is kind of random but another thing I work with my clients on is like your parents and like remembering that this is your parents like first time as well or like their soul is doing a lot of work and learning so you know when people do have difficult relationships with parents and of course you know some things like there are it's better to have boundaries um but like there is an element where you can start to look at people that have caused you like issues like a teacher you think they know it all just like my mum and dad as a kid whatever my mum and dad said was obviously right in my eyes and now I realize that my mum and dad were really young working it out and like they did a really good job you know and like yeah just like your girls will look at you

and think that and I think when you start to see everyone as a soul doing work and on a journey you're much more accepting and forgiving and and that's what I urge for everyone to do over this time I yeah I always think like with parents especially like we can put them on a bit of like a pedestal and like it's as though like like you say like they know everything and they can do um not that they can do no wrong but like i don't really know how to um explain it but we forget sometimes they're human is what i'm trying to say so if they fuck up if they do something wrong we're like so angry about it or we have so much emotion like they're they're human like they're just doing what they know and they like you said before they only have certain tools to be able to combat a situation

and we can't always be like mad at them for something and yeah they are literally just humans because like my mum had said something the other day about how um how old she was or maybe she was the same age as me I think when she had my sister I'm pretty sure something like that and in my head I was like oh my god like I thought you were so much older because you you were so much wiser yeah how I feel um and yeah then you do have a bit more empathy because you're like oh wow actually like yeah you were just figuring it out the same way that I am I think my mum was 19 when she had my older sister. I know. What a rascal. Wow.

Yeah. So, like, her and my dad were married really young, and she obviously had my sister. I know, like, in those days, I'm sure there's lots of people, parents like that. But, like, when I think about my mum at 19, like, dealing with a baby, and she obviously had three kids altogether, and, like, she's, you know, she's a great wife. Like, she's very together and like she's you know she's a great wife like she's very loving like you know that's a lot like I was just getting

pissed on Saturday nights absolutely insane that is insane like wow what an incredible woman that is I know so that that's the thing sometimes so like you know me and my mum definitely had our battles like you know especially teenagers which I think, you know, me and my mum definitely had our battles, like, you know, especially teenagers, which I think is really normal. And me and my mum have got a karmic story because she's a Scorpio sun and I'm a Scorpio moon. Your girl's a Scorpio moon, but you're not Scorpio sun. So it's all right.

There's less karmic stuff there. But yeah, so me and my mum have chosen ourselves to come back. Maybe I was her mum before who knows and we've come here to like work some stuff out and like I love my mum so much like you know and she's amazing but we definitely had to have some really intense conversations and I was a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes I just I'd argue for the sake of it like you know so I think yeah you start to realize and I think for everyone listening you know karmic sort of soul work does does connect to the family and friends and colleagues and you know just look at everyone as a soul send them a bit of love

and realize that they're also going through their shit or whatever yeah so yeah yeah yeah well do you know what's meant for that was a roller coaster of emotions and stories i literally feel like that is the best way to describe my brain would be that podcast i agree yeah up and down up and down jack come back round you've gone the wrong way you've hit a dead end yeah jack the ripper jesus christ honestly if anyone would like any information about jack the ripper please just send me a message i'll happily share yeah right do you want to do the outro my girl oh yeah my um nanny who is literally in the room like just there has um oh wait can you still hear me yeah i can still hear you yeah my phone's just connected to it and she just sent me pictures of the girls how cute they look gorgeous awesome they're smiling faces faces there.
