A Day In The Life

On occasion, people will ask me what my typical day or week is like, and how I deal with the spirit world and the "real" world at the same time. 

Truth be told, Scott and I are in Vegas because of a professional work event tonight, and I had the brainiac idea to say, "let's watch a scary movie." Um...yeah. So about 30 minutes into Insidious 2, Scott is out like a light. I'm laying there thinking to myself, "this is way too scary to watch alone....and I can relate to this too much."

So here I am! What do ya know—now I have time to write a little. Funny how a scary movie made that happen. 

The main reason for this post is to share my week with you because I think it paints a good picture of my reality—many people's reality with heightened intuition, actually. 

Let me first start by saying not all weeks are like this. This week has been particulary interesting. 

Monday

• I woke up at 4am to write about a boy in spirit who came through sharing a message for his mom (who happened to come through while I was working on a presentation at my desk at work the week before). For those that don't know, when the Stanley licensing deal died for Mod Mom, I had to get a job that would help cover the bills until I could get things up and running again in a bigger way. I'm still at that job in marketing for a university while Mod Mom rebuilds.  
• I found out that I made the semi-finals for Ted Talk Sedona in November.  I have one more thing to do for that and then I hope to be on the speaker roster.  One of the kids in spirit came through giving me a sneak preview of what is to come. :)

Tuesday

• Life carried on as usual -- job at the university, spending time with my family at night, helping with homework, and working on my laptop.
• Met with a new colleague who is also an empath and we hit it off.  I shared some info (from my experiences running The Little Light Project) about how to help highly sensitive kids.

Wednesday

• ​Gave a presentation to a particular college within the university and was pretty much met with mostly blank stares with a side of anger due to stuff outside of my control. As an empath, it's not easy to feel this.
• Helped clear (i.e., use my mediumship abilities) a particular area/space on campus because of strange things happening in the room and intense negative energy creating a super heavy feeling.  I was asked to do this (and felt guided to do it) so I made time in my schedule to help out. I also taught several people how to use energetic boundaries as empaths so they don't take on the weight of everyone else's issues.
  
  

Thursday

• Gave a speech in the morning to roughly 200 college faculty and staff and felt a noticable difference in the room than the day before. I gave the same speech to a different group of people. 
• Worked remotely while traveling to Vegas for a speaking event.  Right before I went on stage to speak to roughly 200 people about my entrepreneurial journey and Shark Tank, I was getting urgent emails about issues at my university job. Nothing like multitasking and switching gears in a nano-second!  I talked about trusting your own intuition even when you're in the position where you think others know more than you do.  Several folks came up afterwards thanking me for talking about that. Every time I speak about Shark Tank and my journey, I talk about the lessons I learned about trusting intuition and every time, it's the part that people love the most. 

I try to keep my "woo woo" life separate and I do use boundaries with spirit so I'm not completely overwhelmed all the time, but I find that life has a way of making things happen when they are needed. Divine timing. If spirit is meant to come through, it will happen no matter what I'm doing in the moment. While it can be challenging at times, I've learned to roll with it over the years.  As a former control freak, I learned that we really don't have "control"—you simply do your best from your heart and that's all you can do.  

P.S. Friday Morning Update:  So last night, I put my laptop away and turned off the light only to have one particular light come back on again.  I was nowhere near the switch and when it turned off again, I knew someone in spirit was trying to get my attention but I also knew it was dark energy because of the work I do.  The more you work in the light, the more you attract the dark.  It's the yin and yang of our present reality. I called on my angels and guides for protection and finally went to sleep.  

​And I will finish that damn movie with the lights on!
