I always thought that  profound moment would come. Where everything that was accumulated, suddenly all of the contents spills out of its containment. That feeling when you can feel the breakthrough, as if it's you being contorted and changed. All of the pressure gone. That feeling. I guess I yearn for that feeling because it never came, and I know now, it will never come. It's but a dream in a world of nightmare. The pressure it's still here. It drives me forward. What would life be without the pressure? I suppose it's death. Is it death I want ?  No. A life with nothing on the line seems not worth living. I could crumble under all the pressure like a dying star that lost its hydrogen supply, the enormous weight of its own gravity will consume it. Or suddenly a burst! A once baby nebula now something else. It's a thin line between everything and nothing. Between your dreams and the demons who prevent them. A very thin line between the truth and the lies…Can't get to close to me I chose destiny I thought the weight of the truthWould bury me with the sadness inBut I'm the highest above the abyss I've ever been This is the only way that I'll ever be I'll never be your “me” in your dreamI'm not sorryIs this the end for me ?This is the only way I'll ever beI chose destiny You can't get too close to me I'll never be your “me” in your dream I'm not sorry. This is just the beginning for me I chose destiny. I'm not sorry.

Thinking about starting a business of your own?In this episode of ill communication, I'm sharing the five things I wish I knew before starting a business. I'm sharing the good, the bad, and the fugly! What you're going to hear is how I built a super chill multi-six-figure business as a Gen-Xer. I'm currently celebrating five years as a business owner, which, if you look at the stats, is a pretty big deal! I'm also celebrating a financial milestone. After reviewing my profit and loss statement, I'm generating over a quarter of a million dollars a year in my business. It's just incredible to me that I've created this business, and it's largely been pretty easy. That's why today I want to share the things I wish I knew before becoming an entrepreneur.  I also want to share a little bit about what I think is underpinning the kind of success that I've had, because there may be some insights you can take from your own life and business, too. So tune in to learn what these five things are and how you can use them to create the business of your dreams too. Show notes are always available at www.kimkiel.com!Resources Mentioned:Find out why I started my business & why I love constraints in episode 1: https://www.kimkiel.com/podcast-1/what-is-ill-communication-how-it-will-help-grow-your-businessHear my rally cry about Gen X women in episode 26: https://www.kimkiel.com/podcast-1/the-x-factor-why-gen-x-women-are-an-untapped-marketSign up for the Dream Business Bootcamp at kimkiel.com/dreamI would love to connect on Facebook: www.facebook.com/KimKielCopy, Instagram: www.instagram.com/kim_kiel_copy, and Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kimkiel

This summer, I've been making time to read some business books to grow the podcast and develop Docs2Dads into something that will bring value to my fellow dads out there. One of the things that struck me as I read these books is how applicable these business concepts are to the way that we run our household as well. This week in the podcast I talk about three takeaways from a recent book I read “never split the difference “by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz and how those concepts could apply to the way we run our homes as well. 1. Parents should function as an executive board2. Better Results through Emotional Regulation3. Dare to dreamI'll share two more business concepts that apply to family life in the Docs2Dads Newsletter that goes out every Monday!!If you enjoyed this episode, you might also enjoy a conversation between me and my wife about how we navigate some parenting challenges and find joy in the life we are building together  Listen at www.docs2dads.com/episode28Listen to more episodes at join our community at www.docs2dads.comJoin our community on Instagram or LinkedIn. 

Let's begin with a question, keeping in mind this is a podcast on dating and relationships.Are you choosing your dreams, rather than buying into sexual ableism?  This can be a particularly good question to ask yourself this if you're not having success in dating with a disability.You may not like that question and even be a little offended by it.But sometimes those harder questions and more specifically, the answers to them, point us in the direction we want to be heading in.I spent most of my single years believing that living with cerebral palsy presented a huge obstacle to falling in love and finding a life partner. You might be feeling the same way. You may think your disability makes you less attractive, less valuable as a partner.What Sexual Ableism IsSexual ableism is a system of beliefs that discriminate against people with disabilities in dating, intimacy, and relationships, suggesting the very presence of disability implies inferiority (adapted from AccessLiving.org). Episode 2 is all about sexual ableism.Sexual ableism is discrimination, belittling, judgments, archaic thinking. It's just as real as racism, xenoism, and sexism is. It has to be acknowledged. But we don't need to place this prejudicial thinking before our dreams. Why give more power to what can hurt you over what you want most?Make the decision that was what you want most, to share my life with someone, is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than backwards beliefs.Dare to DreamI'm reading a fabulous book, Shining the Light: Creating Pathways to Equity, Safety, Healing, and Justice With People with Disabilities by Shirley Paceley, a longtime disability advocate. I'll be having Shirley on the show in the near future  to discuss her book. In Shining the Light, Shirley talks about how vital it is for all people to have dreams as part of a meaningful life. She writes, “Dreams give our life meaning and for some people, it is a dream that allows them to get up every morning and say, ‘I can do this one more day.”Where Do We Go From Here? Love is love. Although this is typically associated with the LGBTQ+ community, those of us living with disabilities can certainly borrow it to help rise above sexual ableism. At the end of the day, we all want to be loved, desired, and valued. This begins with changing what you put your focus on, where you invest your mental energy.Choose your dreams over the negativity of sexual ableism. Believe in yourself. Believe in worthy of love. Believe that your disability is a vehicle for love, not a deterrent.Ask yourself this instead:“What am I going to do with your wild and precious life?”  Mary OliverResources Free download - Rising Above Sexual Ableism Shining the Light: Creating Pathways to Equity, Safety, Healing, and Justice With People with Disabilities by Shirley PaceleyRadiant Abilities Dating Resource

Dans Sparky's dream, on entend ces paroles : « Elle habite dans l'espace, alors je vais construire un avion ». Quand on choisit un nom comme Teenage Fanclub, c'est ce genre de romantisme naïf qu'on promet. Et Gerard Love continue de chanter : « elle peignait des peintures qui ne séchaient jamais, pour garder l'émotion bien vivante ». Awch. Ce sera toujours comme ça, il y a des êtres purs qui fixent la ligne de crête des usines de Glasgow et qui s'imaginent en Californie. Bref, Teenage Fanclub, un groupe sans ego et sans trop d'ambition qui propose des guitares trop saturées pour la scène pop de leur propre ville, puis des harmonies vocales qui l'excluent des années grunge, puis plus tard, qui reluque les Etats Unis alors que la Britpop essaie de les copier. Le profil typique d'un CV que le DRH repose sur la table en disant : « vous avez un problème avec l'autorité, vous, non? »PLAYLIST:Sparky's dreamI don't want control of youYour love is the place where I come fromThe conceptAin't that enoughAbout youNeil JungI need directionGene Clark

The Bible as sacred text serves as a source of revelation and wisdom about the divine. As mythology, the Bible establishes norms for daily life and organizes psychic life forces. For Jung mythologies and religions are symbolic expressions of archetypal patterns that foster the development of consciousness. Mythology reveals the dreams of a culture just as dreams bring personal mythology to light. Jung said, “We must read the Bible or we shall not understand psychology.” The Bible is not psychological only, but unless it is also psychological we may not be able to relate its contents to our personal lives. We therefore engage the mythos of Jonah and his whale of a tale a dream. Orienting to Jonah as dream in the world, a dream for the world, and a dream of each of us can help us better understand ourselves in the context of a greater whole.    DreamI'm at my girlfriend's apartment, standing in a hallway with several doors. All of them save one are closed. Behind them I sense a tremendous power. I stop in front of one of the closed doors and open it but I don't cross the threshold. It's either my girlfriend's childhood room or it is mine. I guess that I first believe it to be hers but then understand that it's mine. The room looks quite innocent, but I sense a trap inside. I somehow understand that I may ask one question to the presence that lingers in the room, and that the question will be answered. I also understand that if I enter the room and the force is benign, I may exit and come back as I please, but if the presence is not benign, I will never be able to leave once I enter. So I need to construct a question that operates on two levels at the same time: it must seem to be an innocent question, but with a hidden purpose to determine the nature of the force. I start to think but draw a blank. Then a question very clearly “drops down” into my mind and I examine it. It's not only a good question, it's the perfect question, and I put it forth: “How can one know when it is enough?” The answer comes quickly, accompanied by the sound of gnashing teeth and crushing boulders, and all too clearly reveal the nature of this entity: “It can NEVER be enough!” I then understand that it is the devil who dresses his frustrated angst in these words and the answer makes me completely uninterested in entering the room. I decide instead to continue; I'm done with the things that are here. So, I go to the room with the open door, and after a short period of preparation, I fly away. When I fly through the window a strange thing happens: as I pass through the glass, I feel that my amber body is being cleansed. It is as if all the impurities that it has accumulated during the entire ordeal were stopped from passing through, as if the glass was some sort of filter. As a result, I feel more free as I continue my journey.    References Joseph, Diele, FCR.

This is my first solo episode after a long break.  I tell a little bit about my life, my awakening and my thoughts during my time away.  I call out some things that I'm concerned about on the right side of things and hopefully offer a different perspective.  "I've set the rainTo be cold and hardI've set the sun toBe bright and sharpTo wake you upFrom your hollow dreamI'll shake your bedWith a thunder strikeFrom my handLet's come all stealWe will lie and cheatAnd turn aroundAll their limit signsAnd redirect thisThis great old boring roadInto the depthsOf a lion's mouth"~Into the Stream, Tallest Man on EarthMy Instagram: @ashleyjo111Podcast Instagram: @intotheriverpodcastMy Blog Post from Podcast: https://wordsbyashleyjo.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/theres-something-to-be-found-here/Song at the end, Into the Stream by Tallest Man on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq--g0itCEg

Looking over the last 30 days of Inspired Shortcuts I saw I have flaws and, I also see forgiveness. The prompts in my Daily GPS Planner are set up so I can see the message and the direction that God is giving me through my Inspired Shortcuts. There’s magic that happens when I delegate, do or dump what the baggage before moving on to the next month’s goals.Looking back and seeing the miracles is such a blessing. Following Inspired Shortcuts develops faith and trust. We do what is most important. Different personalities put emphasis on different things based on their personality.Sometimes we judge those who are more paper oriented as being cold, or those who are being more people oriented as being frivolous. But if all of us chose what we put emphasis on based on God’s Inspired Shortcuts, there could never be any judgment. Each of us is on a path with God to arrive at our destination, perfected.If I fully understood Inspired Shortcuts and knew they worked what be different?Today I give myself permission to act on my inspired shortcut immediatelyI move forward in faith each momentI already have everythingIt is already a reality in my visionI am inspired in my faith in ChristI am somebody.

Unseen blessings to me means total trust in God. It means that what I see in front of me right now, the physical surroundings I see are not completely accurate. The vision in my imagination is actually more accurate than the physical surroundings that have already manifested. This is true, because I can’t see the things God is orchestrating right now to produce something new. The work he’s doing is bringing something completely different.The way I am able to serve and influence others currently, are ways I saw myself 8 years ago. Of course, the specific way everything has played out is not exactly how I envisioned it 8 years ago. However, at that time, it dropped me to my knees. It felt so outside of what I was capable of being. At that moment, I was totally living my life from fear. Knowing then, this is what God had in store for me, completely humbled me. I know there are ways I promised to bring souls back to him and I am fulfilling those right now.We may have experiences we perceive as having hurt us. Though, we have the ability to see it from another perspective and see it as a blessing. Great strength and understanding is found as we know who we are and who God is. We always receive exactly what we need at the perfect time. Thank you SuzAnne for reminding us that the challenges we experience are really blessings in disguise.Today, I Give Myself Permission To Recognize A Challenge As A BlessingGod always fulfills His promisesI am grateful to level up now so I am prepared when God’s promises to me are manifestI am grateful all the preparation I receiveI love to dreamI recognize everything as a blessingI successfully, easily flow along my pathI know God always provides a wayI see clearly, great purpose in all my experiencesClick Here for more info on living a life of gratitude.Click Here to find out how to join the Gratitude Call live every weekday morning at 7 am Mountain Time.Click Here to join the “Breakthrough with Gratitude!” Facebook Group.

When I was a childI daydreamed all the time about a present moment that didn't exist and that never came to pass.When I was a teenagerI daydreamed about a futurethat existed only in my mind and that never came to fruition.When I was an adultI gave up daydreaming and yearned constantly for "something else"I truly believed that there could be and would be a lifeoutside of the place that I felt trapped inA life that would bring fulfillment and happiness that I imagined and really believed was possible.When my ego and identity was finally shatteredWhen what I believed was "I" "died"I finally woke up from the dreamI finally saw through the illusion.Once I was awakeI could finally accept the deathI could finally accept and embrace the death of all of my illusions and delusions.Once I left my "illusion body" behindI could finally embrace and live in the here and nowI could live in the present momentA present moment that contains nothing other than what is and that leads to nothing other than other present moments.Once I let go of it allI could truly see what remainedI could truly see that this is all there isI could see that what happens next is what happens nextI could see that what happens next has nothing to do with what we want to happen nextI could see that what happens next will most likely not bring the fulfillment we seekI could see that all there really is to do is to live fully in each moment as it happens and to live fully within any joy and pain that arises.Once my eyes were openedI could embrace all of the emptiness that used to sadden and scare meI could see the dark void that anything that happened arose fromI could see the emptiness that anything happened eventually returned toI could allow myself to look right into the void and not be afraidI could finally live within that emptiness and know that searching for and craving any of the things that I wanted as a child, teenager, or an adult were no longer necessaryI could finally live not needing "something else"I could finally live amidst what actually is and actually be sustained by itI could finally die completely immersed in the "this is all that there is.

Even after divorce you may find yourself running away with a handsome stranger to a foreign land...complete with happy endings, food and intuition and how to get yourself some more clarity in your life.And at the end of this episode I'll share with you one of my favorite things to eat to help increase your intuition – which could really come in handy if you've got a tough decision to make like our guest Darla did. Our guest, Darla AntoineI am super excited to be joined here today for our story by Darla Antoine. Darla is a soul coach, and she works with the elements of what she calls Sacred Darkness, such as dreamwork, divination and deathwork (which is not as scary as it sounds, she tells me). Darla will tell you a bit more about what she does later on, but first I really want you to hear her story which I just can't wait to share with you because it's gonna be great!So Darla welcome to the Clean Food, Dirty Stories podcast! I'm really excited to have you here today!Darla: I'm excited to be here Barbara!Me: It's really great, I mean, I can't wait to hear your story because when you told me about it, I was like “That could have happened to me!”Darla: I know, right? Me: Because we've both had kind of like crazy pasts. And I know that it starts with a husband and kind of moves on from there with the mysterious stranger. So do you want to tell us what happened?Darla: Sure, OK.Darla's storySo I got married young, I was about 22 years old which was in 2004 and I loved my first husband, obviously. We're both from Washington State and we moved to Iowa.He started going to grad school to become a chiropractor, I started to go to grad school in New Mexico for intercultural communication. The last year of his chiropractic school, he had to work under a chiropractor, so we moved to Spain.Learning Spanish from very youngEver since I was a little girl, I always knew that I'd be moving to a Spanish-speaking country. At 6 years old I was trying to teach myself Spanish, I just knew I needed to learn Spanish.Me: Oh that's so cute!Darla: Yeah, and so this was it. We were moving to Spain and he knew he was gonna work under a doctor in Spain and we were gonna stay in Spain for as long as we wanted, and that whole thing. And I was like “Yes! It's finally happening!” I was about 26 years old at this point.But the long distance...I was living in New Mexico, he was living in Iowa and Spain. And we were only seeing each other every few months, which started to weigh on the relationship and there were other issues...Me: Oh, so you didn't go to Spain with him then?Darla: I did, but I also was going to grad school so in summer breaks or on vacation I'd take time off to go and work on our relationship.Whose dream will come true: mine or yours?But anyway we had a great time in Spain, but the distance was wearing on us and there were other issues about...Have you seen the movie LaLa Land?Me: No, but I know lots of people have.Darla: Yes, lots of people have. And the movie ends not the way you think it's going to end. It's very obvious that if the couple had ended up together, that only one of their dreams would come true. Not both of their dreams would come true.So that's how it was with my ex-husband. If I'd stayed with him, his dreams would have come true but my dreams wouldn't. I would just be the supporting role, and blah blah blah.So I was in a very tough position of walking away from our life in Spain in our relationship and going alone on my own and that's what my gut was telling me. I had a very profound dream that backed that up, and I went to a psychic for the first time in my life. She told me, she confirmed what I was feeling and confirmed that yes there was another life waiting for me if I wanted it, and that soon I would be travelling to Costa Rica for research. And I would meet someone there, and this someone would be involved in sustainability, eco living and such. I thought “OK, that's interesting”.And then I asked her some more questions and I got off the phone and made the tough decision. Not just right then and there, but over the next few weeks I slowly dissolved our marriage. It was very difficult.I left Spain and came back to the States and then I had taken the semester off from grad school. I wasn't in grad school in New Mexico, I was up in Washington State with my parents. You know, 26, 27 years old, living with my parents again.Me: I know what that's like, I did that once, it wasn't fun.Looking for a farmDarla: So it was this time of year, late March, early April, and I thought well I need to keep my focus on the future so I don't go crazy.I was studying intercultural communication and I wrote my masters thesis on how food creates cultural identity and legacy, so I thought “I'm gonna get out of the library and I'm gonna go work and visit farms and talk about how food is affecting people's cultural identity and their cultural legacy.So I started looking for permaculture farms in the Washington State, British Columbia area. And somehow I landed on a site for a permaculture farm in Costa Rica.Me: Uh-oh!Darla: Yeah! The psychic's words from 3 weeks ago? I totally didn't think even about it, it didn't even cross my mind. I'd forgotten what she'd said.So I thought “well this is interesting”. I sent them an email, and they wrote right back and they said “We'd love to have you come and volunteer, we could use you next month”. And I'm like “Next month is 10 days away, I should ask my husband about this” and I thought “I don't have to ask my husband about this, he's not gonna be my husband much longer”.Then I thought, “I should ask my mom about this” and I thought “No, no, I'm 26 years old, I don't have to ask my mom about this!” So I had like almost no money, I booked the ticket and did a happy dance because I was stepping into my own adulthood, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it, and it felt really good!10 days later I was being dropped off at the end of a road in Costa Rica. And it wasn't until I had booked the ticket and wrote back that yes I'd be there in 10 days...That's when I remembered the psychic's words that I'd be going to Costa Rica for research.Me: Wow!Darla: And I got goosebumps, I thought “Oh my gosh, something's gonna happen!”Life on a hippy farmIt was great! It ended up being like a really disorganized hippy farm. I didn't learn anything about permaculture!Me: That's hysterical!Darla: I was disappointed but then I just embraced it. I was like “You know what? This is like summer camp for adults. This is fine”.I was gonna stay for a month but I ended up extending my stay for two months and I didn't have any money to pay the $300 to stay there for a month. So I made a trade: I would be the cook for the second month in exchange for staying. And so when you're the cook for 20 people, you're cooking all day.Me: Yeah, I know what that's like too!Darla: Yeah! So the first month was all summer camp and the second month was like work. But it was what I needed. I got to be around people who didn't know me as so-and-so's wife. They just were meeting me at face value and embracing me and loving me, and some of the people I met there are still really dear friends today.Me: And how was your Spanish at that time?Darla: It was pretty good. It wasn't as good as I thought it was, but it was pretty good because I'd been living in Spain. And I took Spanish in high school and college because I just always knew that I needed to learn Spanish. It's the only foreign language I've bothered to learn.From summer camp to full time cookSo about 3 weeks into my time there I was cooking. I wasn't officially the cook yet, but I was filling in for someone and I was cooking. And the guy who owns this farm also used to own a tour guiding company. He would bring in mostly college students who were on a tour. They would come in through his farm for a day or two and learn about permaculture and then go on the rest of their tour in the country.So one of these tours was coming through, there were about 18 college students. I was told they would be here at about 8 pm. Now there are two ways to get to this farm: you could hike through the jungle for an hour and a half, or you could take a 30-minute boat ride. It was very isolated which was perfect for me.So I was told that they were going to be walking in and the next day boating out and to have dinner ready by 4, they'd be arriving by 3, perfect. They'd be led by their Costa Rican tour guide. OK.And one day, among the vegetables...I'm in the kitchen and I'm chopping vegetables and all of a sudden there's this redhead standing in my kitchen. He's decked out in all this fancy gear. Fancy outdoor gear. And I'm thinking because he's pale-skinned and redheaded, “He must be one of the professors”. He looked about 30 years old. The group's arriving. And sure enough I see some college students walking in behind him.Well I immediately get super annoyed with him. I'm like “Who is this guy?” I don't see the Costa Rican tour guide anywhere.A friend and I had just gotten lost on that trail between the farm and the nearest town the week before. It's a very difficult trail, you need to know what you're doing.I'm like “Here's some hotshot young professor, he's ditched the tour guide, showing off, he's wearing a whole bunch of gear he's never gonna wear again, it's obviously all brand new...”Me: It's interesting how many assumptions you made though, right?Darla: I made so many assumptions! And I was so annoyed. And then I saw the way he was looking at me. Then I thought “Oh my God, this guy's gonna be a pain, he's gonna want to flirt with me...”So here's the thing, I very seriously thought, “He's gonna want me to move to Michigan to the suburbs and have babies!”Me: Oh that's hysterical!Darla: I don't know why Michigan, but Michigan popped up and I was like “I don't want to move to the suburbs and have babies in Michigan! No offense.”Me: Now I'm laughing because I know what happens afterwards, right?Darla: So yes, but then he thought I was Costa Rican. He opened his mouth to introduce himself and it was in Spanish, in perfect, 'this is my first language' Spanish. Not 'I've learned Spanish really well and I can introduce myself' Spanish. It was perfect Spanish.And OK, well, I stopped, my eyes popped out, my mouth might have dropped open a little bit, and I was like “OK well you just got more interesting!” I was kind of shocked and I didn't say anything, so then he took my shock for not understanding, and he switched to perfect, 'this is my first language' English!He said “Hi, I'm Andy, I'm the tour guide”. And I was like, “OK, hello!”Me: All your assumptions were gone, right?Darla: All my assumptions were gone, which was wonderful! It was nice to be surprised. In less than 24 hours...And there was definitely some attraction between us, but he remained very professional. He was there at the farm for less than 24 hours, so he didn't try to sneak off into the bushes with me...Me: Did you regret that?Darla: Yeah! But then I thought well, he doesn't just hit on every cute girl he comes across, this is something. So it turns out his parents emigrated to Costa Rica when he was in the womb, when his mother was pregnant with him, from Michigan! They came from Michigan in 1978 and moved to Costa Rica and he had been born and raised in Costa Rica by US immigrant parents.And before they left the next day, we exchanged email addresses and he said, “I don't care when you come back to Costa Rica, I don't care if it's next month, next week, one year, two years from now, you let me know the next time you come back to Costa Rica and I'm gonna take you out on a date”.Me: Oh! It's like something out of a movie!Darla: Yeah, it really was! But I thought, “well you're cute but I'm never gonna see you again”. I took his email address and neither one of us were big on Facebook but we eventually added each other to Facebook and I went back to New Mexico to finish my graduate degree, I got another boyfriend and kind of forgot about him, honestly.Two years later...And twice over the course of two years he emailed me via Facebook and all the conversation was “How are you?” “I'm fine, how are you?” “I'm fine” “Good”. That was it. Hardly no conversation at all.Me: Wow.Darla: Yeah. But then I was finishing grad school and I thought “You know, I'm gonna go back to Costa Rica, that's really where I feel like I started to become my own adult. And I'm gonna go back for a few weeks and go visit friends that I made there before I go get a job and have to ask a boss for permission for vacation”.So I was making plans to go back to Costa Rica when he emailed me, Andy, this guy in Costa Rica. He emailed me out of the blue. And I'm like “Oh actually I'm coming to Costa Rica, do you still want to go on that date?” And I thought he could have been married with kids, then, I don't know.Me: Yeah, because it was two years later, right?Darla: Yeah, it was two years later. And he immediately wrote back and said “Let me know when you're coming and I'll pick you up at the airport”.Me: Ohhhhh!Darla: And I thought, “Oh dear!”Falling in love...So it went from being seeing him for a night, going on a date, to spending the entire 3 weeks with him. He drove me all over the country, we fell in love.Now here's the thing: the psychic said I would meet someone in Costa Rica and that they would be involved in sustainable living. And he has an organic sustainable farm, he and his sisters run an eco lodge, so yeah.We live on an organic, sustainable homestead now in Costa Rica, and it's been 6 years. Actually 6 years earlier this week, we celebrated it's been 6 years since I came to Costa Rica to see him, and we've got two little boys, and we're madly in love with each other still.Me: Oh wow! That's such a nice story! And it has a happy ending as well, doesn't it?Darla: It does, yeah.Me: And one of the things that came out when we were talking about this was you were saying how your intuition really helped you to make some of the right decisions. Do you want to say more about that? Were there specific moments when you just tuned into yourself? And how did you do that?Darla: Yes, so my intuition really started picking up at the same time as my marriage started ending. And I've always been a really strong dreamer. Dreaming has always been a really great way to get messages to me from the divine.So one was I had a dream right before I ended it with my husband that confirmed that I needed to end it. Two was right before I came here to visit Andy, speaking of dreams, anyway. A most powerful dreamI woke up in the early morning and I started coughing. Like I'd been sleeping with my mouth open or something and my throat was dry. So I started coughing and I needed to get some water. There was water across my room on my desk, but I was still dreaming. And I had this very vivid image of like my astral body or something in the cosmos. Like I was flying through stars, I've never consciously remembered something like this.And I was zooming to get back to my body because my body needed me, but there were these two orbs of light going with me. Like we'd been out playing in the cosmos. I got back into my body and I woke up, but these orbs of light were laughing at me. They were taunting me. They were like “Ha ha, look who has a body! Look who needs to get back to their body! Ha ha!”And as I got back into my body and I started becoming conscious, I could still see and hear them and the more I woke up, the more they faded. Then I tried to get up out of bed to go get the water and I fell to the floor, like I couldn't operate my body. I still wasn't completely back into it.Me: Wow!Darla: I started laughing and I had to like drag myself across the floor to get my glass of waterMe: Yeah cause you must have been really thirsty!Darla: Yeah! By the time I'd had a glass of water I had regained function of my body, but I just felt that those two orbs were gonna be my children.Me: Oh! Wow!On paper? Insane. But in reality...Darla: Yeah, this was about a month before I came to visit Andy on the trip that we fell in love. So I thought, “OK, things are shifting in my life. Things are changing. A whole new energy is coming”.And then sure enough within like 8 months after we got together, I was pregnant by the end of that same year with my first son. So yeah, so the dreams definitely told me that shifts were coming and that changes were coming.But then also just the gut feeling that I had that “This is crazy, I left one husband and now I'm moving to a foreign country to be with a guy”.On paper it all sounded insane, but in my heart and in my gut I knew that this was right, this was what I'd been preparing my whole life for. I always knew that I needed to speak Spanish. I always knew that my partner, my mate, was far, far away in another country. Ever since I was a little girl, I just knew it.Me: That's really funny that you say that about the Spanish, because I was told years and years ago by a psychic that...I was learning French at the time and the psychic was like, “Well, you really need to learn Spanish” and I was like, “Really?” I was in high school, I was like 18 or something, you know? And I wound up using Spanish when I was 38! But use it I did and, you know, married a Mexican, yeah, all that stuff. So it sometimes takes quite a long time to manifest, right? But it does, it's there.What Darla does now to help othersSo talking about dreams and intuition, I think that links really well to the kind of thing that you're doing now with people. Do you want to say a little bit about that? And then, you know, where people can find you?Darla: Sure. So one of the biggest things I love helping people with, especially women but men as well, I love helping them also tap into their dreams. Even if you haven't remembered a dream in years or whatever, you can regain your dreams.And on my website which is – should I give my website address?Me: Yeah, sure!Darla: OK my website is thecopperscarab.com I've got a whole bunch of blog articles that can help you reclaim your dreams. But I also have a course that will just walk you through everything you need to know about dreams.Death work and transitionsI also help people with death work. This is kind of a new door I've got my foot in, but I really love it. I think death work is something that's present at any time of transition, and it's something that really helped me navigate divorce. It helped me navigate moving to another country, and it helped me navigate becoming a mom. Because the old 'me' had to die. Well, all three of those things. I had to shed an old version of me.And between divorce and moving to another country and becoming a mom, I think motherhood has been the hardest transition for me. Maybe because there's so much joy and love wrapped up in it as well, it's not just that I'm cutting off this part of my life and moving on. You have to keep living and interacting and loving this new life. And it's also very painful. It can be very painful and a very hard transition.Divination for everyoneSo I help women transition through big life transitions with death work, and then I'm a big fan of divination. Dreaming I think is a form of divination, but especially when you've got big decisions to make. It's really easy to get stuck in your head or stuck in your emotions and you kind of need a way to get the clarity without the emotions and without influencing it yourselves, so learning a divination tool is really helpful. Whether it's tarot, or claircognizant - inner knowing - or dreamwork, or anything like that. I think at least a form of divination is really important for everyone to know.Me: Yeah, I'd agree with that, cause I think it's just really empowering, you know? To know that you've got this tool to make really important decisions yourself, right?Darla: Exactly.Me: Yeah, that's really cool. I'll definitely put the link to your website in the shownotes as well, and I'll get into the food tips in just a moment.But first I wanted to thank you so much for being here to share your story cause I love your story and I also love what you do. So I'm gonna encourage people massively to check you out and see what you do because it's just amazing, so thank you for being here with me!Darla: Thanks for having me!Me: You're very welcome!Food and intuitionSo, I mentioned at the beginning of this episode that I'd share with you one of my favorite foods to help with your intuition in case you've got any difficult decisions to make, among other things.This food is very common and I'm sure you've eaten it already without knowing the amazing good that it's doing for your mind!The food is...almonds!Now I'm not talking roasted, salted almonds. I'm talking about fresh, raw almonds.Benefits of almondsAlmonds are a great source of vitamin E, protein and calcium, which are all nutrients that our endocrine glands absorb and which therefore can help bring us clarity of mind, focus and heightened intuition.How you use almondsHow do you use almonds? Well you can eat them raw by the handful, of course. You can sprinkle them on salads or eat them in a trail mix. But no matter how you eat them, one thing I would say is that to get maximum benefit from your almonds, it's best to soak them first for a few hours. I soak mine overnight or while I go out for the day.The reason I say to soak them is because nuts have a natural coating of enzyme inhibitors which can make them heavy to digest. The enzyme inhibitors are natural, and they're the reason you can walk through the grocery store and not a forest. They tell the nuts to wait to become a tree until they've got not just light, but water as well. So when you soak them, you're basically activating them. You're telling them that it's time to release that fabulous growth potential – which you absorb when you eat them soaked. It's kind of like eating the potential of an entire tree with each soaked nut. Pretty cool, right?Think of sprouts – it's the same principle. You're eating the potential of an entire plant in each sprout. That's why you've heard that they're so good for you.Where to find out moreAnyway, if you want some specific recipes for using almonds, I have lots in my 5-Minute recipe ebooks that I'll link to in the show notes.The link between food and intuition is actually one of my favorite topics, so I'll also link to an article of mine that goes into more detail about several foods that you can eat to help improve your intuition.And for those of you who want to read more about the science behind food and intuition, I'll link to an excerpt from the best resource that I found which comes from a book called Nutrition for Intuition, written by Doreen Virtue and Robert Reeves and published by Hay House.I'll also link to an article that has more information on other health benefits of almonds in case you find that useful, because there are a LOT of them!Have YOU got a story to share?Which brings us to the end of this week's story – and if you've got a crazy, true story to share (and you'd like to know what food could have saved the day in your situation),  I'd love to hear from you! Got a question, or a comment?Got a question, or a comment?
