All right. Okay, so let's talk with Kate spade in the afterlife Okay, so I know that she's kind of brunette so let's see if I Her hair looks short to me. I'm not sure if it's real short kind of sleek modern It looks that way unless it's pulled back and I'm only seeing her from the side. I feel like she has a daughter She's wearing a very simple black dress It's like a sheath dress, but it's a little bit looser It's not tight. It's it's trimmed through the chest and then it kind of loosens up a little bit a little bit flowy and it's right about the knee and it looks like she has like a belt on like a patent leather belt and She's carrying a bag and I know that she has purses you guys like that's how I know Kate spade That's all I know of Kate spade She has a bag and it's like a a handbag that you know just carried around your arm kind of a thing and It has a little bit of an angle to it so it I'm not sure. I didn't do very well in geometry. So I'm not sure the sacred shape is that like a Trapezoid I don't know It's kind of almost triangular a little bit, but wide on the bottom and wide on the top. There you go. All right, so All right, and then so I see that and then I see It's interesting because I see just solid colors with her like beautiful blush pink and Gorgeous gray and a black like really known for black and then I see kind of branching out for hand. These are for handbags and then I see like in Different then I see branching out and getting into different fabrics and colors like especially florals it looks like and it looks like scarves like I see scarves like I'm not sure if they're tied around the handbag or if they're actual scars, but I can see her actually in a scarf and it's like a like a poppy almost like a kind of an ivory background with some blacks and some vivid pinks in it and maybe a tiny little bit of a purple kind of a color but lots of different like bright pinks in it and I'm an ivory background and I see that tied around around She kind of has it off to the side a little bit Kind of right here It's a scarf it's pretty Almost a little bit Audrey Hepburn like her vibe I'm feeling a connection or a kinship with also with Coco Chanel and I'm also feeling so I think I think I remember that she was from New York She feels like New York City. So either she's originally from there or she moved there This is what I'm knowing about her and I also know I do know that she committed suicide I know that I know that that's a fact so All right, so let's talk to Kate and ask her some specific questions. I'm obviously seeing her She hasn't spoken much. I'm not clear. Audiently hearing her at this point I'm feeling her work and That that's a great source of pride for her and that's her company and building her company and I do feel like there was some financial stress within the company and there were some questions or concerns about either breaking it up or Part of the company being sold or that there's some kind of an investor or somebody that owns more of the company or Wanted to do some different things and I feel like there's some financial stress around the company the mission that kind of a thing And so I'm not sure if that's happening now or if that happened right before her death That maybe precipitated some of her death She's making me feel like her relationship like with her husband wasn't good And so her personal relationship like I don't know if they were actually going through divorce But she's making me feel like it was like an up-and-down roller coaster and she's also making me feel like there was drinking and I don't know whose part. I don't know if it's hers or his But there was a lot of unhappiness is what she's saying in the home. So Just wouldn't put that out there. Okay, so she's sharing with me So that's heart-based Claire sent dance feeling sensing most of you will be able to pick up on empathic information Because you're empathic. That's just the way it is. That's how you channel through your heart space All right. So here's some of the questions. All right So You sold your business prior to your transition Okay, I didn't read the questions before I did this channeling opening. I just popped it open on my computer So, okay Good. All right. So there was stuff going on with the business. Okay, so my friend says you sold your business prior I love it when that happens. I just surprised myself. I'm like, wow, I'm so I'm so right I'm like I should be surprised by that. I know. All right. So Sorry a little brag there little bragging You sold your business prior to your transition. How do you feel about the current direction? Kate Spade as a company is going She's saying It's not mine. It's not mine any longer. It's not mine. It's it's my name, but it's not mine It's not really for me to judge. It's not for me to to really say Is your company left I'm gonna ask this question is your company left to your family or your daughter It will be part of her legacy and her inheritance. Yes at some point If design is in the family if that's something she chooses to pursue. I feel like she's in college now. I Feel like she's in college or right about the college age you guys. So I feel like she's a teenager into Either that or she's a really mature parade. She's like a teenager into the early years of college. That's what it feels like to me Like I feel like she's studying I can feel her studying her daughter So let me ask this question a little bit differently or let me ask a little bit extra here is If you would still be here at present as a human managing your company Kate Spade How would it be today? What would be your vision? What do you see? being a focus She says accessories accessories have been something that is Ever-changing and always evolving and there's always opportunity there to expand whether it be through scarves through purses through belts that there's always an opportunity and the price points are accessible to people She's also showing me perfume you guys. Maybe that's the relation to Coco Chanel something about fragrance like that She is she realizes like she's saying fragrance is a bit cliche But it is something that When you wear it it makes you feel a certain way it exudes An essence and it presents your personality and it can also change the way feel based upon the fragrance that you wear It says a lot about you. It's like a signature that's sent and So fragrance is something that I see as part of the company Okay, I also see dresses I see dresses. Do you have clothing and then she's showing me the yes She says yes Yes, and a lot of like pattern simple patterns this dress is like a sheath dress But then it kind of comes out a little bit. It's looser fabric you guys and it's a lot of different The prints aren't crazy bold Necessarily, but there's a variety of them and I really like it I really like this and then she's showing me like a simple like a cardigan over the top of it for the office like Like a simple cardigan that's a color like a bring color into your life You can have a simple pattern a palette in the back with us with a print the color is so important in the way the colors interact with each other it says a lot about you and your personality and Clothing like with perfume it can change the way you feel about yourself and it can reflect out to the outside world who you are So it's very very important. She's showing me beautiful blues some iris colors some violet some hot fuchsia pinks that are really gorgeous really gorgeous almost to the red and Then like really the backgrounds are very ivory and it's not like country. It's not even like a boho. It's like a classic Style really like that and then like with that kind of a floral print there would be a like a hot pink fuchsia cardigan that you'd wear to the office and and That kind of a vibe I guess and then you can take it off and it's like it's sleeveless like there's not sleeves on it It's sleeveless So you take it off and then you know you can go out with the the ladies for you know Like a brunch kind of a thing, you know that kind of thing and then she's showing me alcohol again Like mimosas so I don't know if she struggled with alcohol Okay, so let's move on ask the next question Everyone asks about greatest accomplishments. Can you talk? About the small triumphs that you experienced either in your personal life or your business She says acquisition She says we survived a merger or like a takeover or something there were there wasn't an attempt by a larger fashion house to incorporate us and We were able to maintain our own degree of integrity But at the same time partner with another company that was a better fit for us So I consider that one of my one of my Feets of strength to survive The especially in the early days the Bayer companies they can really swallow you up And it's it is like a cat and dog world It is like a fight to try to survive especially in the early days, and I'm appreciative of Being able to Maintain Consistency in our products and their quality in in what Kate Spade as a company represents and there's definitely a classic a Classic legendary legacy type of a vibration I'm saying vibration. That's not her word. There's very much a classic consistent vision for the company and There's an appreciation for things that are the finer things things that are simple like a simple floral pattern Can be elevated to a classic look without being overdone very much simple elegant classic is the Fashion should not be complicated for people and I hope that That is something that Has become part of what I am known for as a designer The the real woman and appreciating the woman respecting the woman And then she says she kind of jokes. She says one of my greatest accomplishments was it surviving childbirth So she says so she's made taken a nod at her daughter And I think she has one child that feels like she's talking about a daughter So there's got to be a very strong bond if she has another child They might be a stepchild or that kind of thing, but this the daughter is really like Connected and she kind of laughs like she feels like a normal person like Not super outgoing not a little more introverted, but I would say she's serious But I also would say if she wants she gets to know you she can let her hair down so to speak and be real funny You know be kind of funny and But not funny not fake but very Like her humor is a little dry which I like and appreciate and kind of subtle. I like that so that's how she feels All right, good question. All right, how can each of each one of us? identify Oh, this is perfect question you guys. Oh my gosh. Okay, Miss Kate Spade How can each one of us identify the signs of depression or suicide to help others in your situation? What actions can we take to make a difference? She says this is an important topic I Would expect it to be asked It's very painful. I recognize that this topic is Very painful. It's a painful reality and the legacy of suicide is Something that no one wants To leave for their other loved ones their families their friends. It's not explainable. It's it's really hard to To justify the choice And I am certainly not a speaker for all who have made the choice to complete suicide for me I can share that Mental health my health was a factor. I was very distraught very upset But I would have these Episodes or instances where I was very manic very very It's interesting you guys because so she saw me this manic kind of episode where she's very very stressed and very anxious and Then there's this great deal of sadness that comes with it So the manic isn't like productive and happy and let's get it done It's like it's like almost like a major panic attack mixed in with a cocktail of depression And I feel like there's alcohol involved with her like I don't know if she's self-medicated or what the deal with that It feels like alcohol is involved and that would make sense because if someone deals with anxiety They would tend to want to medicate that or dull that manic energy of anxiety with like an alcohol, which is a depressant, however Over time that erodes the systems in the body and it creates just a real constant state of a low-level energy vibration that is like a constant depression and I've seen that in session with other clients and I I see it in in Energy fields and things so I know that that's how that's how it works. So just just be aware of that if If you have drinks to calm you down Just be aware of that because it can create a constant state of lower vibration Which is like a low depression all the time and you know realize that said that you might not realize That's what's happening, but that's what's happening. So just be be aware of that and she's showing me. Oh I see a doorknob and I see a scarf and I Did she hang herself? I think she hung herself. It looks like that, but her room is so beautiful I have to say it almost looks like like a brownstone or something like a beautiful old buildings like in in New York or outside of New York, you know like in certain Burles of New York, there's this beautiful brick when I've been I've been to New York once a gorgeous place and this lifetime anyway one time and Like these brownstones kind of and I see this big like kind of big window area where it's just big window jutting out And there's brick in the front and there's all this light pouring in and then there's like this bed And there's the seasheets and there's this like almost what looks like a beautiful I want to just lay in bed kind of soft cozy kind of just be here seen almost like from a movie and then But that's it there's nothing Like there's just shallowness like if there's no depth to the scene She feels a tremendous amount of guilt about her death And she says I couldn't do it. I just couldn't take it anymore I couldn't take it and she's making me feel like her medicine wasn't accurate like I feel like she was seeing a Psychiatrist or counselor or somebody and she was trying to get a handle on the depression energy and the stress energy that she had and It feels like it's related to her relationship so husband that kind of thing and her marriage and That feels like the big impetus the big focus and I'm not blaming the husband. Let's just be clear That's not she's not either. She's not blaming anyone anyone anyone for her death. She feels guilt about her her death and She's making me feel though like Medication wasn't right either like she couldn't get the medicine right so it was like Unless she stopped taking it because it literally feels like there's a crash Like almost like a hormonal thing like a boom hit the wall and like there's no other choice like I'm I'm drowning and I just need to get out quick. It's kind of how it feels to me like it wasn't that Plansful like I feel like Like it was a consideration and it was a thought that kind of came in and out of her mind To that she could terminate her own life, but and but she says that morning. I knew I knew that morning I didn't know the night before necessarily. I didn't plan it like that, but that morning. I knew That it was it was over. I It looks like she left and then came back to her house I don't know it's kind of a weird It doesn't feel very good There's so much sadness So as far as the question goes Kate, I love the name Kate you guys My daughter's name was almost Kate almost almost But then I had a compromise had I had to compromise so I did How can each of us identify the signs of depression or suicide to help others in this situation What could anybody else had done what could have been done differently? She says I pushed everyone away. I pushed everyone away That's a sure sign When people say they just want to be alone they don't want to be alone They might want to be alone, but they they shouldn't be alone. They should not be alone Don't question your own judgment Even if you're worried that your friend's going to be mad at you or upset with you Push it keep pushing it. Let them get mad at you And she's saying that she had friends that would check on her or were worried and concerned about her But that she kept pushing people away and keeping them at arm's length and she said that's a strategy Is to be a to be very cruel to people that you love and you care about so that they will get away from you So you don't feel their love because if you feel their love, it's harder to leave It's harder to leave this life to make that choice So you push everybody away and you make up this story that you're alone and you're isolated Even though these people are reaching out to you So my recommendation would be to continue consistently reach out when you have that feeling and you know you do because your Souls are connected. It is very true. What you say Brigitte It's very accurate. The souls are very much connected and the spirit knows your soul knows it knows if you know something's not right or something's wrong you need to act on that and It's better to be wrong and be considered irrational than to have your friend Your friend die So push it push it And I know it feels like you're a glutton for punishment, but you you if you know in your heart of hearts that you can make a difference Do not do not let them push you away and you are and if you can say that to them You can say to them the truth. You're pushing me away. I know you're pushing me away I know you say you want to be alone because you're trying to isolate yourself Why do you feel like you deserve that? Let's talk about this and if you want to be alone That's fine, but I'm going to be in this other room here And I'm going to be making tea and if you want to come in and have Have a cup of tea with me you can but you just go sleep in the bedroom And I'm just going to stay here to make sure you're okay And that's it that kind of thing she says just don't give up I don't feel like there's anything that anyone else could have done for me. She's talking about a I think she's talking about her dad like trying to help her that her dad was trying to help her And That he was most devastated by her by the loss of her That she feels like she hurt him perhaps the most He tried the hardest she said to help me But she's talking about a friend to a good friend like I feel like she has a good friend and like That that's well known that was devastated like crushed by her death But wasn't surprised knew that she was struggling and having challenges And I see her like somebody trying to interview her and she has like sunglasses on and she doesn't want to talk about it So her bags are really her thing Because I keep seeing them she keeps showing me bags and they're beautiful like patent leather bags and simple classic I'm just gorgeous gorgeous you guys I have to look at her stuff because I'm not really like trendy like designer stuff like Gucci and I'm not Probably because I don't have a lot of cash to be just spending on that kind of stuff Like I have other things to be focusing my finances on So maybe I should look at her stuff because I haven't so I don't really know you know All right, so next question Oh, so she asked the question. That's very powerful Kate That I've heard in many sessions because I have talked with families who have lost loved ones to suicide Whether it be a brother a cousin Uh a child Why And she says your admirers are heartbroken why And she kind of sits back and sits up. She's very nice postured She sits back and sits up and she says I can't really answer that question there isn't A an explanation that will make the pain go away There isn't an answer Since your death Your transition into the afterlife Have you met others who've taken their own life? Is there like a support group for spirits that you know form of humans that are Trying to work through I mean, how does that work? Can you speak about that a little bit? She says you find peace You do find peace But it's true what you've said before It is a bit like counseling and support group and It's not as easy to let go of some of the former emotions that the body held But I don't want you to consider That there are many spirits who are are not at peace because there is peace. There is an incredible blanket It's it's a peace feels like a security and where you have the incredible gift of time to heal to believe once again to understand the value of your soul and of the life that you led without the pain or guilt or the shame of your death death does not It does not define you. It should not define you But it's hard to escape the reality that it does especially in these when these choices are made It tends to overshadow the amount of history you created for your life and while that's understandable this feeling of worthiness and value is something that I felt part of here And I can't speak for others because our choices although We all share the fact that we chose our own death It's not about the way that we died It's about the continuation of the plan for our life If we've cut that plan short then we must Reconsider our other options how we choose to fulfill Our human experience from the afterlife perspective is different for everyone. I I'm not sure what others have for their plan What is your plan? Do you have a plan? I'm working on what you would consider almost like a charity or nonprofit sort of a status If I was a person you would feel that but as a expression of light I am working on fostering a stronger sense of peace and value and Allowing other spirits other souls that are connected to me To experience and know that feeling those feelings of peace In their value having peace in their value and that's what certainty is. That's what certainty is That that is what certainty is To know peace and their value and that's that's part of my work now.
