Thank you so much for being here. Appreciate it. Thank you so much for interviewing me today George It's real privilege. Thank you. Yeah, so You know, there's a lot you've learned as you've built your Mentoring healing and coaching business and one of the lessons is about it's about courage So do you want to share more about that? Yeah, I think it takes a lot of courage to do the kind of work a lot of us do that are you're in your program because Years ago a coach said this I think it's so true those of us that do this kind of work are really putting ourselves out there because we really do this kind of heart-centered work and We have to be willing to be vulnerable and not only take those steps to build our business but really put our you know our lessons that we've learned our vulnerability and really be willing to be authentic about that and Takes a certain amount of courage to do that It absolutely does and I'll tell you the I guess fear or the potential fear In my experience never really goes away Or that it's it's it's always a practice. Yes, and it's like sometimes people have to sense Oh, you know someone like George who's already so established in his business. He must have no fear every day. No, it's it's You know every time I make a video or every time I create a course or every time I write a blog post You know, there's still that sense of Well, maybe nobody will like it, you know or very few people like it and what if it's a waste of time or whatever it is and Yeah, so thanks for Clarifying it that that that you've experienced that and that you're you're learning about that too So, how does that how do you maybe you could connect this a little bit to? virtual growth or Yeah, yeah, how does that how does how does building a business and the courage there connect with with our kind of personal development? Well to me, I think they're very interconnected Because there are a lot of fears or anxieties that can come up around growing your business growing your business really requires you to be putting yourself out there and to be seen more and Is that brings up any kind of fears or anxieties about you know? Am I am I enough am I qualified enough to take me to take another class? Do I know you know all those that stuff that comes up? It requires the same tools and techniques like I used in my daily life that I work with with my clients I'm using the very same things that I'm teaching You know the meditation the getting in touch with my feelings my emotions Being aware of if my thoughts are kind of spiraling into a negative pattern and bringing it back bringing myself back into balance To me personal development and spiritual development and growing your business. It really really goes hand in hand because And I really didn't know that when I was starting out, but it's really so true It's just everything I do like you said every new thing and right now my new thing is trying to go online That has brought up some fears for me like oh my gosh. I don't know what I'm doing I've got to make videos I got to do all these other things that can bring up that anxiety and Then I'm I've got to do the same thing You know I sit in the meditation or I do the visualization or read a positive book or when I'm exercising I'm watching a positive video on YouTube or something. I'm doing the same Things I would do in my personal life to grow my business to keep myself inspired and to keep myself thinking positively I Like that. I yes, absolutely. It is I sometimes say that you know business is really just a stage for our personal evolution You know, it's it's like it's there's no separation, you know, the more we are willing and open to growing personally The more our business can grow because we're more willing to take risks or more more Right like we're we're less Dismayed by any kind of potential failures or things that happen that could be considered failures You know, so so yes, thank you for confirming that one other lesson you've been learning is about is about content, you know and The importance of that and and so tell us about your experience with it and any kind of Or words of encouragement you have for for the audience about that. I Would say it's a big thing I've learned from you is that consistency and then creating the content and then sharing, you know Best of what you have and sharing Kind of like bite-sized, you know amounts doable amounts. I have noticed the more I share Whether it's in my business page or you know things like that if I put a live video on there is more engagement and there is more Feedback that I get and there it's just like anything the more you give out, you know The more you kind of get back and it's it does require a consistency I'm still to be honest working on but it It is all tied the more that you share the more that you put what you've learned Think people really appreciate it. I think people appreciate that's another thing I really like about what you do is even those short videos that you have The very inspirational the very positive It helps you feel like I'm not alone in this if I sometimes feel afraid or I'm so feeling secure in what I'm doing You're you're like a cheerleader there thing. It's okay. It's okay to have that. It's okay to think that, you know, and Before I guess it wouldn't have thought of that as like content to share, you know, you as a business coach But even those things that you share are very helpful You know in addition to those those longer classes that you teach that I sign up for It's all very helpful because part of it's the mindset too, you know It's not just learning about the SEO or the Google or the website a lot of growing your business is the mindset too of Continuing to believe in yourself and feeling inspired and keep going that persistence Yeah, absolutely. Yes. Thanks for saying that. It's I think all of us who are growing a business Out of think about or I hope we can experiment with being open about our journey You know, I think that's I mean, that's why I do these interviews too. It's like, hey, you know, everybody everybody experiences challenges and you know the the shyness of putting ourselves out there or or the You know, the the challenge with consistency everybody experiences that and like when we're willing to talk about it I think our audience Oftentimes comes to our support, you know at the very least they're like, oh, you know I can relate to you, you know, and so it is it is an interesting Project to like at the same time where we're sharing our expertise Think about how we can share the journey of our own development whether it's our business development or whether it's our own Souls development. I mean your case like what are you learning about? You know in your own journey of medium shift or spiritual growth People can yeah, I think people really appreciate That that we're all a work in progress that there's there's more to come, you know, so so let's Switch gears a little bit. I'd love for you to start to talk about This idea of higher guidance and how do we connect with that? Maybe you can start with Describing what you mean by higher guidance and then kind of start to teach us some of the techniques for how to connect Sure What I mean by higher guidance People can give it different names to me whether whether you consider that coming from your soul or your higher self or spirit guides or what you might consider The higher power spirit universe God whatever, you know, you want to call it to me that all is higher guidance That's that part of ourselves that is connected to Unconditional love into Belief in ourself and others the kindness that joy that peace that's what I consider higher guidance And I really started learning about that many years ago About how to tap into that through what I call spiritual practices like meditation or journaling or Another thing I do is I keep a dream journal. I keep track of my dreams And I started learning from other people first from like books and then eventually classes and things I took How to recognize higher guidance as it was coming in? So through meditation, you know, we can get quiet. We can hear that inner voice or that inner those inner thoughts or feelings that come in But another way I learned was to recognize it sometimes in a kind of mundane everyday things Um, but if we ask for that guidance and Then we listen and we create that space in our lives to be observant and listen we can start noticing How guidance might come in so? I've had really profound Kind of in-your-face examples of like years ago listening to Wayne Dyer's I was listening to a CD where he was talking about the Dow and right at the moment where he was just You know describing and kind of defining what the Dow is This is when my kids were really little my son was a baby in the backseat my car I'm just driving on the highway, you know, and this Prius Trives right by in the left lane and the license plate at that time was greater power Greater power and this is at a time in my life where I really needed to feel like there was some support There were some big changes that we were thinking about doing and I was asking for guidance You know, it's asking for that support. So if I'm really like in your face like wow There it is that that's kind of cool, you know and then also there's just the subtle things like It might be a book that you're guided to read That really speaks to something going on in your life It might be that something as simple as like you're watching a television show or a movie Or there might be a song that you you feel like you really speaks to you or that you're hearing over and over in your life Some people really connect to numbers or to the animal world, you know There's just a lot of different ways that higher guidance comes in It it doesn't just come in through When we're sitting in meditation. I think that's one of the best ways But there's I really believe that higher guidance is in our lives every day If we kind of become observant and create that space to notice So That's one of the big things I encourage people to do in my work Is not only to get to know yourself But to start paying attention To how you receive guidance So Because i'm a medium and because I early on trained as an intuitive Um, I was taught to understand what we call Things like clair audience clairvoyance clair sentience and clair cognizance And the clair is just about clear. So it's like clair audience. How do I hear? Claire sentience. How do I feel? Claire cognizance is like a knowingness And then clairvoyance is like seeing So sometimes we see literal things like that license plate on that Prius that drove by And sometimes it's very subtle inner things that happen like An inner feeling or maybe you sometimes get like this inner daydream or inner picture Or you might just have this sudden kind of knowingness this feeling like something just Feels right or something doesn't feel right Or you might just have like a physical sensation Or you might hear that kind of inner voice You don't have to you know be a medium like I am you can really tune into those inner senses because we all have them And I I really strongly believe we're all guided. We're all supported It's just sometimes we're not aware and especially in this culture. It's so like a doing culture And really I think what helps support and heal us a lot of times is when we can step back from the doing and just be And learn how to understand how we're being guided and supported when we're in those states or just boom How might one distinguish between higher guidance and our own thoughts, I mean sometimes And and and maybe maybe it's impossible to distinguish between the two but but if let's say someone was trying to make a decision about something Yeah, so how do you how do you advise? I mean, I know there's probably different for everybody, but any kind of tips there about that? Well, first of all, I think our higher guidance can come in through our own thoughts What I would distinguish is like years ago when I was first learning this one of my teachers taught me to distinguish between higher guidance and like the ego Or the personality self or what did you want to call it? And so one way you can distinguish is Our thoughts will often go in these kind of you know, you've noticed they go in these cycles There's repetitive patterns and that's worry. They're kind of scattered What I've noticed through years of creating practice like meditation and quieting my mind more is Higher guidance, even if it feels like it's just coming from me And a lot of times it does kind of feel like it's coming from you And then there are times where it feels like it really does seem like it's dropping in from somewhere else But to me the important distinction is that You feel a groundedness with it You notice that the thought comes in Even if it comes in very suddenly it's like a wise voice speaking to you There's a there's a there's a clarity and a groundedness to it Kind of like a wise one speaking to you. It's not all over the place. It's not chaotic It doesn't make you feel fearful or insecure or doubt yourself It's like what about this And it it's kind of like that's it, you know, there may not always be a lot of words There may not be a lot of and there isn't usually you must do this. You must do that it's more of a What about this or what about this or? you know Perhaps this kind of a feeling does that make sense? Yes So it's like a voice of a of a wise mentor who isn't like pushy Yeah, or it can or it can be really specific sometimes It's like another story. Sometimes I'll tell people is years ago When the internet was really new and I The yellow page is still existed and I was wanting to apply to go to art school And it was back in the day where I didn't use the internet It was a new thing and I just pulled out the phone book and I needed to get slides to You know get Photography slides made for a portfolio. I was like, I don't know how to do this I have no clue what to do and this thoughts dropped in my head out of nowhere Open up the phone book and look in the yellow pages And I just started looking under photography and I made a few phone calls and they're like no No, I don't do that kind of thing or you know, I'm just I'm in a studio. I take portraits whatever Maybe like the fourth call or something. I get this man on the phone and he says Oh, I think you've got the wrong, you know, this I work for a processing lab I said, oh, okay. It goes. Well, I don't know if I should say this but On the side of kind of started this side business. We're in the basement of my house. I started actually taking Photographs that I you know make into slides for artists who need portfolios or need artist slides I said, oh my gosh, you're kidding me So I met you know, I'm at this man. He was a nice guy. He was a family and everything and And uh, there he was in his home. He had this photography set up So sometimes it'll drop in like a really specific thought like that You know um, that's that's interesting and Uh, I like that You didn't quit after the first call. Yeah. Yeah That's the other thing. Okay. I keep going and then you know by the fourth call There's there is some connection um, so you mentioned meditation a couple times um A lot of people do it in different ways, of course How do you do meditation or what is what is a tip that you give your clients about that? Well, the biggest tip I give is to do what works for you You know, I I like actual sitting meditation and I'll do different kinds of meditation sometimes I'll do meditation where I try to Um, just be quiet and I'll do a lot in the beginning with my breath. Just you know releasing with the breath just relax um, sometimes I'll work with my chakras and just kind of Clear the chakras. Sometimes I do that. Sometimes I'll do a visualization. Sometimes I'll do a guided meditation But let me say with clients is do what feels right for you and what makes sense for you to do Some people are very active and they do better with maybe a walking meditation You know that gets them into calm down So some maybe some people's meditation is doing Music is maybe painting is maybe some form of exercise Um, I don't know if sitting meditation is the right thing for every person So I don't necessarily say do what I do You know I say do what feels right for you if it's going to help you number one relax You know If you can just relax That's the number one thing to help you get in touch with That higher guidance and who you really are is because when we're really tense or stressed You know, we tend to go into our mind. We tend to go into the worry and the fear And so the higher guidance is going to help We're going to be able to access that better when we're in a more relaxed state Yeah, wow, I love that advice because so many people Assume that You've got to be low disposition You know vipassana You know silent 10 day retreat is the real meditation or something which I actually went on and I it was so hard for me I don't think that's the right thing for me um Some people say that I meditate all the time or something, but it's yeah, it's like I That's interesting that you said relaxation is really one of the key Factors of whether or not it's working out for you so I'd love to we have a few minutes left and I'd love to ask you about Sort of the difference between What you do in terms of intuition and mediumship so I mean thus far we've been talking about intuition And let me actually ask you do you help clients Discover that way of meditation so-called that's how that's right for them They do try to help them figure that out. Um, you know sometimes in coaching calls We've done short minutes. I've done short meditations or in the past when I taught classes In person. I've done guided meditations with people Uh, really though, I really do encourage people to try different things out until they find what works for them So so, you know, it's that's that's what the key I think to Spiritualities all of this is to find what's right for you I think we really have an advantage. We live in an age where there's a lot of different choices that we have So I really stress trying the different things, you know, maybe maybe you like to some people like to Have a roma therapy, you know, some people like music some people let me to really be out in nature I don't think our Higher power whatever you want to call it universe spirit god, whatever. I don't think That matters. I think what matters what works for us what gets us in touch With our own sense of peace and happiness and joy So that's that's what I would say In terms of the difference between the intuition and the meditation or mediumship or excuse me the meditative mediumship is um I initially started my my business doing intuitive readings for people Some people call them psychic readings. I don't call them that because I'm not I don't want to put the emphasis on like I'm trying to predict people's future to me It's really more about The soul and the growth and the life path and purpose and that type of thing but the mediumship Definitely builds and uses the intuitive or their psychic ability But the difference is with mediumship Is I am connecting soul to soul With those souls who have crossed over or you know pass to the other side or who are no longer in the physical body That's the difference. Um, and so I am Raising my vibration my frequency In to to to meet up with the higher frequency of spirit for communication Poor messages and and to bring Communication between that loved one on the other side and the client or the person that I'm reading for That's the difference That's that's very helpful. Yeah um, so We'll just wrap up with mentioning. What are you doing with clients right now? You do intuitive life path readings numerology readings and intuitive coaching. Yeah, so Maybe you can say just a little bit about each one Yeah, so the intuitive reading and intuitive life path reading I've again calling them that because a lot of times what people are asking for in an intuitive reading And that's where I connect to my intuition my hair guidance and my own spirit guides To get the connection for people of what what is their soul? Purpose what is their their what are their gifts? What are they learning here on their life path? What are the the lessons that they're learning? What are the Ways perhaps that they would be able to use some of these gifts Yeah in in helping another and service to another that would bring them joy piece that type of thing So that's why I've called that the life path reading the numerology reading is where I actually create I People will get a numerology chart and that's based actually on people's birth date and birth name And that's where we look more in-depth using numerology is the tool of looking at people's soul purpose their soul gifts Their life journey. What did I come into this life to learn? What did I come into this life to express like what's my mission and my purpose? What are some different things that I can look at at the different timing and cycles in my life? So that's the numerology reading and then the intuitive coaching is where I intuitively am still often very connected to my clients and but the difference is the coaching is kind of coaching mentoring slash teaching I would say And a lot of times people come to me first through a reading and then they want a little bit more in-depth support and the coaching we might look at What you might call like the blocks or or what are the fears or or the concerns that are kind of stopping me on my path Or how can I get more in tune with my peace and and my inner joy? So that it's easier for me to express my purpose or to create that, you know Heart center business that I want. How can I Get clear about what my purpose might be or what my gifts are what I'm here to share And then sometimes a lot of times and when I'm working with people, you know, maybe one-on-one in person or the phone I'll suddenly Hear guidance for them or or get some kind of guidance for them and I'll I'll check in with the client and they'll say Yeah, yeah, that's right or yes. Yes So that's why I call it the intuitive coaching because it's not always just me I am still trying to connect with higher guidance and I do some, you know, oftentimes I will get That intuitive hit or that that just kind of download of Of some kind of information that could possibly help the client On on their journey on their path or their healing whatever you want to call it So that's that's what that is And sometimes people want to know they specifically sometimes have hired me to teach them. How do I connect to my guides? I'd like to know more about that. Right. How do I develop my intuition? Can you help me figure out how to meditate? Can you help me connect to to spirit and to higher guidance so that I'm I'm calmer so that I can hear my higher guidance Yeah, wonderful.
