We'll be taking you outside the box, 3 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:16.320 behind the curtain and identifying the load of bs we are fed every day. 4 00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:25.440 And now Doctor Kevin. Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to the 5 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.199 Doctor Kevin Show. It's been a little bit of an absence. I hope 6 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.520 you guys haven't missed me too much. I know that my replays have been 7 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:44.439 on for the last few weeks. I apologize for not being present. Sometimes 8 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:50.119 life happens and you just have to go with that flow. So welcome back 9 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:56.359 for the first live show and over a month for the Doctor Kevin Show. 10 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.119 You know, and here on the Doctor Kevin Show, we're always about trying 11 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.840 to bring you a different perspective, bringing people that are weaving a web of 12 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.439 light in the world, or making change, or just challenging us to think. 13 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.879 You know. One of the things that I think that we are not 14 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:23.480 putting enough emphasis today on is this whole idea of teaching people to think, 15 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.879 not what to think, but toothick toothick. And as before I introduce my 16 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.359 guests tonight, first of all, I want to remind people that we are 17 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.040 a live call in show. You can call in at two O two five 18 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439 seven H seven O five seven. That's two two five seven seven O five 19 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.200 seven, or you can always come onto omen times and you can grab the 20 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.840 show afterwards. But obviously you don't get to ask any questions, whether it's 21 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.680 of me or of the guest, or if you just wanted to share some 22 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.239 site about the topics that we're talking about. We're always welcome to that as 23 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.560 long as it's respectful. All we ask is that you be respectful, So 24 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.879 feel free to call in. And you know, it's been a while since 25 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.560 I've done a hot topic, and I'm kind of setting myself up to do 26 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.439 a hot topic. And you know, one of the reasons is, you 27 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.560 know, for me, the hot topic is something that either warms the cockles 28 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.000 of my heart or gets to be hot under the collar. And then my 29 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.680 poor guest on the fly gets to share whatever insights or thoughts that, in 30 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.240 tonight's case, she has about it. And I'm sure that she will have 31 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.039 some thoughts and insights. I have great confidence that this gift will not leave 32 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.120 us, We will not disappoint. So tonight's hot topic is about thinking. 33 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.479 It is a hot topic of thinking and the importance of thinking, and the 34 00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.280 importance of critical thinking, and the importance of We want to encourage ourselves and 35 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.120 especially our children, to be exposed to a variety of thoughts, not to 36 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:14.120 indoctrinate them. If you want your kids indoctrinated, well, there's a very 37 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.159 large list of organizations, many of them churches, that I can recommend for 38 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.759 indoctrination. They do it well and they do it all the time. But 39 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.400 if you want your child to ask good questions, to think for themselves, 40 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.840 to evolve into a person who makes the world a better place, then we 41 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.680 want to teach them how to think. We want to expose them to different 42 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.280 things to see what works and what does it work for them. We want 43 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.919 to encourage them to do that. And you know, the thing is is 44 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.560 I've been watching this and this is part of the hot under the collar part 45 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.240 of it is, you know, we've had places like Targets that have been 46 00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.599 basically bullied by what is actually a small group of people to move their displays 47 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.960 to the back of the store or take things down, or people have backed 48 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:14.039 away because this very small but very loud, vocal angry just hateful group that 49 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.120 misidentify themselves often as Christians, and I do say that seriously misidentify themselves as 50 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:26.680 Christians because there's nothing Christian in any of those actions are just loud enough and 51 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.959 just concentrated enough. There have been thousands of book bands in this country this 52 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.199 year, and it comes down to a group I believe I read it was 53 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:42.879 eleven that goes back to eleven people who have organized and have sent out to 54 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:53.639 their very fringe as as Papa my father always used to say religious nut cases. 55 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.639 That they fuel them up with the perfect package of how to get the 56 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.279 books banned and how to get the people into the school board positions to make 57 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:09.480 sure that we move this to a fascist country called Christian nationalism. But they 58 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.519 all cyc a lot of eleven people. Eleven people are affecting millions of children's 59 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.680 of education because they're well organized, because people are apathetic, because they're not 60 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.920 catching them on. They have these little nifty names that they work through, 61 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.560 like Mums for Liberty and Christian Nationalism. Any really fundamental based religion, any 62 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:38.279 of the fundamentalists of any and every religion think cult they're indoctrinating, and they're 63 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:50.720 occult and they get control by working through these very, very disciplined fanatics to 64 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.720 try to impose their view of God and the world and how things should be 65 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.800 on everybody else. And they do it by slipping people into school boards and 66 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:06.720 into positions of power in local towns and cities. And but it's it's a 67 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.079 small group. It is not the majority of Americans, and it is certainly 68 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.959 not the majority of Christians. Poor Christians. The religion has been taken away 69 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.519 from them and turned into something horrible by these loudmouth freaks. And we need 70 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.240 to speak up. So why am I hot under the collar? I'm not 71 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.600 a Christian, never have been, wasn't raised as one. But I love 72 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.720 a lot of Christians. I know a lot of Christians. I know people 73 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.639 who actually act like Christians, and they're beautiful people, and they're getting screwed 74 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.639 over by these jokers, and they need to speak up, and we need 75 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.319 to speak up that we are not going to let them take away our democracy, 76 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.240 our right to read, and our childer's right to be who they are. 77 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:53.240 So that's my hot topic. Nothing heavy, nothing big, nothing. 78 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.839 I'm sure that today's guest won't be able to have some kind of comment at 79 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.759 I mean, you know, I just thought i'd start back slowly now that 80 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.000 I'm back on air after my small ansence with just a tiny, tiny little 81 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:15.120 issue that's going on today.

I know Ashley personally, and 86 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.079 I always love it when I get to bring on and highlight people that I 87 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.639 personally know are doing really good work in the world. Ashley, welcome, 88 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:57.279 Thank you. Dr Kevin happy to be here. So I know, because 89 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.680 we have talked about it, you are not a political person, but this 90 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:05.639 was not actually a political conversation. So any thoughts on the book banning or 91 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.879 any of the things I said, I'm sure there's something you must have to 92 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.560 add to them. Well, I have a lot of feelings about a lot 93 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.279 of it. You know, I'm a mom. I have two daughters, 94 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:24.480 they're adults. But I'm seeing a shift in the schools and even around here, 95 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.000 there's just a little bit of a shift and an intolerance. You know, 96 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.000 they have this blanket of tolerance that you know, we understand and everyone's 97 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:43.600 welcome, and I think that that's just this blanket that goes over and in 98 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:52.799 actuality there's a lot of intolerance and judgment. And I'm talking more about the 99 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.519 less about the book bands and more about letting kids be who they are and 100 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:05.879 expressing themselves as who they want to be. Well. And you know, 101 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:13.120 part of it is that there is so much of this thing is being done 102 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:20.200 in a really bullying way. It's really bullying. I mean some if you 103 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.799 watch any of these video clips or some of these stuff, they're such bullies. 104 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:33.360 And you know they're going after, you know, drag queens, and 105 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.879 they're going after transgender and they're going after minorities, and they're going off this 106 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.840 with a holier than now high and mighty something up there, whatevers. But 107 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:50.440 they're bullies. They're just horrible bullies, and they're horrible examples that just a 108 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.120 few years ago we were doing all of these anti bullying campaigns and now we 109 00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:00.360 have all of these bullies on school boards and trying to control flash room than 110 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.559 all of this stuff. So it does kind of shake me up a little 111 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.600 bit that they have gotten so seeded and gotten so much power when they really 112 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.279 are such a minority. But you know, that's what happens. A minority 113 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.120 gets in power, and then different powers the majority who are not paying attention, 114 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.240 and before you know it, all of the all of the the cards 115 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.320 are stacked against you, and people are you know, making voting more difficults 116 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:37.200 and speaking out more difficult and and and everybody's in league with the devil that 117 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.200 doesn't agree with them. So speaking about league in league with the devil, 118 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.480 how's your relationship with the devil these days? Actually? Uh, you know, 119 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.200 we're doing okay, we're doing okay. I keep he keeps an eye 120 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.759 and I keep an eye on him. No, they always say better the 121 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.200 devil, you know, than the devil. You don't, right, exactly 122 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.799 exactly. I tend not to think about the devil much. Actually, Oh 123 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.440 okay, Well you know what can I say? Uh? I kind of 124 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.440 uh, I try to. I try to keep my eye on the real 125 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.600 devil and then ignore ignore all of the fake ones. Oh that beyond said, 126 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:31.039 talk to me, so tell me a little bit about where you would 127 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:39.320 like to take our listeners outside the box of anything you want, you know. 128 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.639 Uh, I like to open this up to my guests to choose what 129 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:52.480 insight would they like to share with our listeners. Um quintally has a lot 130 00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:01.039 to do a clear um. What I love to kind of dive into is 131 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.600 how robotic and closed off most people are right now, they're going through the 132 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.200 oceans. Majorities they're kind of not paying attention and the minority gets this chance 133 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:24.600 to this kind of cheap mentality of needing to get to no thought about what's 134 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.120 happening in the moment. It's all about getting to the next place, thing 135 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:43.240 the next So you're breaking up a little bit. I don't know if it's 136 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.919 me or if it's you. Okay, so I got what you said about 137 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.360 the robotic and just all trying to get to the next place. Did you 138 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.720 pick it up from there for yep, and just trying to get to the 139 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:07.720 next saying instead of being in the moment and really just in the present moment, 140 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.639 as you know, instead of just moving forward, I'm relocating about breaking 141 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.120 up. By the way, Yeah, you are still breaking up a little 142 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.440 bit. But we heard you know, you know, about getting to the 143 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:33.840 next moment. And it's it's interesting because I think that you know so many 144 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.679 One of the things that I'm going to tie what you're saying up into what 145 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:50.960 we were saying before is the bullying. Oftentimes bullies are looking for something that 146 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:58.679 makes somebody unique or different because obviously, especially the way that we socialize, 147 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.559 in the way that our current school systems work, fitting in and being part 148 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.080 of the right crowd, being popular is everything, and being unique and quirky 149 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.440 is a sin unless it's done in just a way where you get to be 150 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.759 your own little mini leader. Which is that fine line makes sense? Yes, 151 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:30.240 I agree so on that. I look at it as the quirky outside 152 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.480 of the quirky, you know, it's this robotic, this kind of I 153 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.600 want to be part of the in crowd. I want to be part of 154 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.600 the light, which means I have to be normal, and we punish the 155 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:52.399 people who aren't normal because they have the nerve to not be normal. So 156 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.000 does that make sense? Very much, very much? And you know, 157 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.039 another way to look at it as opposed to the nerve to not be normal, 158 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:11.000 but the gumption to not be normal, the brave, the bravery So 159 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:18.840 are you so you wanted to talk about this? Do you do you have 160 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.559 some thoughts about how do we solve this or how did this happen? Or 161 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:30.200 how do we address this? Um? You know, I I think that 162 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:39.080 how it happens. I think that technology, every you know, forward motion 163 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.320 that we've made has made us into this mass of movement. We want the 164 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:50.080 next thing. It's always something bigger, better, flash air. So people 165 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.840 are always trying to achieve that next step rather than really just enjoy what's right 166 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.600 there in front of them. Um, you know, I think that people 167 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:08.679 should take more time to get quiet with themselves, to really just be right 168 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:15.320 now, because that's all that there really is. They just need to enjoy 169 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:32.559 themselves in that moment. Yeah, and you know when people need to be 170 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:42.240 in the now but also be aware of who they are and how are they 171 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:56.000 experiencing the now? Does that make sense? Yeah? So when we look 172 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:02.519 at that, it sounds like the first step is a commitment to not be 173 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:11.799 normal fair enough? Is that what I'm hearing you say? Um? Well, 174 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.599 what's normal really when you feel that back? But yes, to not 175 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.319 be a sheep, to not just want to fit in and be like everybody 176 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:26.599 else to embrace your uniqueness. Well, and so some of them some of 177 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.960 like uniqueness. Some of what helps helps us discover our uniqueness. Like, 178 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:44.039 let's say, something that may help us discover that we are really good at 179 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.079 doing high coups is to know what a high coup is. Yes, So 180 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.839 that means you have to be exposed to a hi q hi coup. Yes 181 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.839 and yeah. And I think in a lot of situations, keep the children 182 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.720 and people aren't being exposed to all of the options out there. They're just 183 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.279 closed off in a little bubble. So I'm going to run a theory by 184 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.640 you, and you are not all obligated ever to agree with me. In 185 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:25.279 fact, I love people who disagree with me, and I love people who 186 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:26.920 agree with me because you know, in general, I just love people. 187 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.480 Is with some notable exceptions that I'm very proud of, anyways, is when 188 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:45.000 we became math and science obsessed, when we downgraded English, and when we 189 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:56.079 started eliminating the arts and creativity as as viable parts of a curriculum. I 190 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.680 think that that was the doorway that led to what with the problems we are 191 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.640 having today? What do you think? I think that's a really interesting perspective 192 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.039 I hadn't really thought of it in those terms. But as much as I 193 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.200 want to disagree with you about something, this isn't it, I would agree 194 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:23.039 with you because it's in creativity that we find our uniqueness. Yeah, And 195 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.559 I think that's something that's missing for a lot of younger people. I think 196 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:36.680 that it's it's extinguished in the educations that we're providing right now. Yeah. 197 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:42.440 I mean we've we've we have this thing where now we're trying to limit the 198 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:48.920 variety of books they can read. Before we were eliminating the creative experiences they 199 00:19:48.960 --> 00:20:00.640 could have. And we've never allowed them to be intuitive beings. We've never 200 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:08.440 talked to them about actually being you know, not religion, but being something 201 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:15.839 that is more than the physical body. Right. Yeah, I think it's 202 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:22.319 a big, a big miss there. That's a missed opportunity to be you 203 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.720 know, expanded full human beings, less emphasis on the human part, but 204 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.880 on the being's part, to really step into your full self. Well. 205 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.839 And also, I mean some of the programs that they're attacking and they're closing 206 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.079 down or they're saying are bad, is teaching kids to be empathetic or sensitive 207 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.319 like that has no place in the school system. You know, there are 208 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:52.039 there are school systems that have have challenged and thrown those programs out inappropriate to 209 00:20:52.039 --> 00:21:03.680 teach kids how to be sensitive and compassionate to discipline in Yeah, so we're 210 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.680 kind of dancing around a lot of topics here. But what I'd like to 211 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:14.240 do now is I'm gonna put this show in reverse for a second, and 212 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.119 I'm going to have you share a little of how did you become all of 213 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:26.880 these things I listed at the beginning? How did you become this intuitive soul 214 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:37.799 artist, healer? Wow? What share? Share? How did your spiritual 215 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:44.839 journey? Unfauld? Oh? Sure, so? I think you know, 216 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.240 I come from an intuitive line of women, and when I was younger, 217 00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:00.880 I was more tuned in and I actually just embraced what it was, never 218 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.480 knowing it was different. Well, it was just kind of what was normal 219 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.920 in my family with my mom, my aunt, my grandmother. But then 220 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.599 flash forward to becoming an adult and getting married and having children, it became 221 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.359 less important and it actually I kind of liken it to going to sleep, 222 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:30.079 that part of me just an underground for a while. Around midlife. It 223 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:38.359 came back pretty aggressively in a in a insatiable curiosity is how mine began. 224 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:44.480 Where I really just wanted to know everything, and I got so excited by 225 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:52.119 remembering this part of myself that had been shut down for so long. And 226 00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:00.000 so this insatiable curiosity just brought me to all kinds of classes, the mentors 227 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:07.480 and workshops, and I really just tried to experience everything and figure out where 228 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.519 felt the most like home. And what I was finding was kind of all 229 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.880 of it feels like home. I consider everything that I'm learning to be a 230 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:25.400 tool in my toolbox, and it collectively is becoming who I am and what 231 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:33.680 I enjoy doing well. And it's so interesting because you said the term, 232 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:45.119 you know, remembering, and I always like that coming together of to remember 233 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:51.359 is to put the member back together. And just like when we talk about 234 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:59.359 healing, to heal is to make whole, and there is there is a 235 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:10.440 very harmonious energy that those concepts overlap. That we're born with an insatiable curiosity 236 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:17.200 to explore our wholeness until at some point that wholeness starts to get chopped into 237 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:27.720 acceptable and unacceptable pieces. Okay, yeah, and so a lot of times 238 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.680 and I'm going to see if this is also your experience. I know in 239 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.279 my experience, in my work, a lot of times it is about helping 240 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:45.680 people to remember who they were before it was shut down, stolen, taken 241 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:56.799 away, matt made bad, you know, in their childhood, to bring 242 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:06.200 back that insatiable curiosity to understand who, all at what being all of the 243 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:14.240 needs like, it's a journey to discover that wholeness. That remembering is trying 244 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:22.160 to put all of those parts of myself together. Yeah, yeah, good, 245 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.920 No, I'm sorry, go ahead please, I was just going to 246 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:33.519 say that in my experience as well, that would be almost definitely the majority, 247 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.839 almost one hundred percent of the people that I'm working with. It's that 248 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.799 remembering, showing them who they really really are when they stripped back all of 249 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:51.519 those parts and pieces that were put on through schooling, education, society, 250 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.559 you know, family, all of that. Just peeling that back and really 251 00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:03.640 seeing who's underneath there. Yeah, you know, as you heard me say 252 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.200 at the beginning in my hot topic, one of one of my favorite words 253 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:15.279 right now is indoctrination and the amount of indoctrination we get to be other than 254 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:26.480 who we are, to be fit into somebody else's mold. So I know 255 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.839 that you have a couple of different things that are coming up for you, 256 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.839 and we're going to talk about those when we come back, and we're going 257 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:47.119 to talk about how they're tying together everything we've been talking about this in the 258 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.119 first half of the Doctor Kevin Show.

So we've we've been talking about some stuff 295 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:33.960 with um, the damage that shows up that creates these robotic people you talked 296 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:45.640 about that are just kind of focused on some kind of oftentimes not authentic goal. 297 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.039 I feel like there's a there's a lack of authenticity when you have been 298 00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:00.920 so alienated from being able to explored this, discover, embrace, love, 299 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:10.720 be in relationship with your authentic self because basically it doesn't fit quote unquote the 300 00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:18.279 norms of whatever your upbringing and environment in school, indoctrinations of all kinds created 301 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.119 would you say that's a fair summary so far. Yeah, I do. 302 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.400 So we spot it out a number of different problems, and I know you 303 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:37.640 have some solutions. So I'd like you to talk about some of the stuff 304 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:47.160 and how it works in to help people step more into this more connected remembered 305 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:55.279 he whole intuitive spiritual being. Tell me about some of what you're doing that 306 00:31:55.359 --> 00:32:02.000 leads to that. Sure one of the things that I have been developing with 307 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.799 spirit they get more credit than I do. So my spirit team, which 308 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:13.200 you know, spirit guides, loved ones, have kind of nudged me in 309 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.160 a different direction than I thought I was going. Um, I was doing 310 00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:23.359 some channeled art for clients and for myself. In that I would meditate and 311 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:31.599 create a piece of art for sitter or the like. It's morphed from there 312 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:40.839 through again nudgets from my team where I would have a sitter or a group 313 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:50.000 of sitters and I would teach them how to get quiet through meditation. I 314 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:57.039 lead them through meditation, I get them more in the present moment and through 315 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:02.359 that energy that that meant tality or lack of mentality actually, because this is 316 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.880 really just checking your conscious mind off to the side and allowing your subconscious and 317 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:15.200 your spirit to shine through in that space. I've encouraged people to create their 318 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:22.920 own paintings, so using color, movement, texture with paints on canvas and 319 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:31.200 allowing their soul to make a creation. And it's not anything about the outcome 320 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:37.519 of the piece, it's really the process. A lot of people feel like 321 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.759 they're going to be judged and a person next to me can paint better than 322 00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:45.480 I can, or I've never painted before, and they feel intimidated. The 323 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:53.319 outcome really isn't the important part. It's all about letting your soul express itself 324 00:33:53.359 --> 00:34:00.759 through the paint. And it's been a lot of fun. Well you know 325 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.119 one of the other key elements, And of course we were we were laughing. 326 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:10.920 M Ashley and I cross Path last week and my I'm gonna say it, 327 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:17.559 my husband Jeff is so notoriously bad at drawing and sketching that he was 328 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:23.199 he was helping out with a Sunday school class of toddlers and they were doing 329 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:29.360 drawing and he brought his drawing home and proved once again why his family refuses 330 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:36.960 to have him on a team of fictionary um uh as as as. He 331 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:44.559 quickly informed me that the toddlers had had better drawings than he did, but 332 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:46.320 brought me home the picture and it's very proudly on my refrigerator. I just 333 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:52.119 wanted to be known, and I said, I said, you know, 334 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.400 you know, I know that you've got a class coming up, and if 335 00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:02.159 somebody is going to have this level of our artistic block, because I know 336 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.920 he's artistic, he's creative everywhere else, so I know it's a block. 337 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.800 But if again at this level, can you still help them and can you 338 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:13.599 share what you told me? Oh? Absolutely, he'd be my favorite client 339 00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:21.199 because or consider because he has the bravery to show you the picture that he 340 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.599 made even though he felt that it wasn't good enough, and so he has 341 00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:35.119 it all there. He just needs to take away the feeling of judgment or 342 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:40.719 criticism because it's it's not about that at all, you know. I think 343 00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:45.679 one of the key things I didn't hear you reference that I want to bring 344 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.719 out and again, you know, you know, knowing you and have spent 345 00:35:52.800 --> 00:36:00.519 time with you in other situations and gatherings and stuff like this is I think 346 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.239 one of the key things that has made this class. When you offered and 347 00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:07.559 we haven't actually talked about what the class is, because I know you have 348 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:15.719 one of these coming up in July, but is it is a crossover not 349 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:22.280 only in non judgment, but safety. And I feel that some of the 350 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:30.840 energy that you bring, Ashley is an environment that allows people to feel safe 351 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:42.679 and therefore not only to be vulnerable, but to step into that intuitive channel 352 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:47.400 and flow and feel like this is a place where they can do it and 353 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.519 holding that kind of energy. I mean, we've all had a bad teacher 354 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.880 in our past. While it's a great teacher, but we've all had the 355 00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:01.360 bad teacher. We've all had the experience where somebody either looked at the drawing 356 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:07.239 or looked at something we did and basically made us feel like we should apologize 357 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.920 to the world for ever thinking we could do whatever it was, or that 358 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:17.159 we're stupid or that we have no creativity. And so I think that part 359 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:22.800 of the important thing you do is not only help them connect, but it's 360 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.199 the important that you create the safety of the space. Could you talk about 361 00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:30.480 that a little. I'm sure I love how you put that, so thank 362 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:37.360 you. In the workshops that we've been doing, there definitely is this feeling 363 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:45.679 of community because the people that come have a moment, several moments to get 364 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.519 to know each other a little bit and just get a little bit more comfortable. 365 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:54.679 And then through the course of the workshop, you know, they really 366 00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:02.880 start to feel this lack of criticism. Nobody's looking over their shoulder, and 367 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:12.159 nobody's judging what they're making. It's just just encouragement and the space. You 368 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.760 know, we try to bring the vibration up so that you know, everyone 369 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:32.760 just has this feeling of peace and healing throughout the workshop. So now I 370 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.800 know that now you have are a few different versions of this you teach along 371 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:45.519 the way. Correct, Yes, okay, so um, but I know 372 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.920 that you have one coming up in July. Can you tell us a little 373 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:58.119 bit about like what this particular class is the title where like you know and 374 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:07.400 who who that's in our listening audience would go, oh, that's that that 375 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:15.119 would be the class for me of course. So, um, this class 376 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.840 is going to be held in Nashville, New Hampshire. Um, it's in 377 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:23.719 July. And for this group, it's the type of people just like your 378 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:30.239 husband, who have a feeling of you know, I'm not a good artist. 379 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.639 I don't want to feel judged. Um, but everybody in their No 380 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:43.280 one's a professional. Everybody is just going for the actual experience of the meditation, 381 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:49.960 which is how we started all raising the vibration, feeling kind of held 382 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:57.400 in the space and secure, safe, peaceful feeling and then allowing their soul 383 00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:07.519 to um to hain't using colors. So this is a pretty um, straightforward 384 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:12.000 workshop that we're going to do in July, where there's there will be more 385 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:16.519 advanced options from there, but this is going to be more of a introduction 386 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.280 or a beginner type of workshop where people can really get to feel what it's 387 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:31.000 like the let go of that outcome. Now. So it's in Nashville, 388 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:39.519 New Hampshire, and I find it's interesting that it is actually at a place 389 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:45.519 called Positive Street Arts, So it's actually at an art center, not a 390 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:52.519 quote unquote spiritual center, but an art center. Correct. So again, 391 00:40:53.159 --> 00:41:00.000 what's the name of the sexual workshop? This actual workshop is the it's the 392 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:09.159 Art of letting Go. So um, it's is channeling your soul through art, 393 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:17.559 the art of letting go. So you're allowing yourself to to channel your 394 00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:29.440 spirit, your soul through meditation, the art of letting go. I love 395 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:34.000 it, And you said, July, what this one is on July. 396 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.119 I don't have my calendar right in front of me, so I don't it's 397 00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:40.239 the bear with me the sixteenth. I didn't want to give you the wrong 398 00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:45.480 date. I knew it was in the teens, so July sixteenth. And 399 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.480 it's in the middle of the day from twelve to three, so that everyone 400 00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.639 has time to do their thing in the morning and still get home in time 401 00:41:52.679 --> 00:42:00.199 for dinner and family time. It's in a beautiful space. The Positive Street 402 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:05.920 Arts Workshop is a gorgeous space and with lots of beautiful light, so it's 403 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:13.119 a really peaceful, lovely space to spend some time. So can you You 404 00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:22.400 know so now you work both as a psychic intuitive healer, but you're also 405 00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:29.280 a professional artist. Is that not true? I don't know if I would 406 00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.079 call myself a professional artist, but I love that you think that. So 407 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:40.039 yeah, I consider myself an artist. But it's really from my soul, 408 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:43.599 you know. I was. I could draw when I was younger, but 409 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:51.719 the paintings that I do now are I would consider to be child. Okay, 410 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:55.239 well you have just invited me to have some fun. Oh dear, 411 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.800 that's all right. My audience is used to that. You won't be the 412 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.960 first guest that I've decided to have some fun with because you know, we 413 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:19.880 all, none of us walk out of this reality without carrying the weight of 414 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.800 our you know, again, we're going to use my word of the month 415 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:30.159 or the week of the day of the quarter without using without you know, 416 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:34.920 being indoctrinated to a certain way. And it's so funny because one of the 417 00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:44.719 ways we got indoctrinated actually just really showed up with you and defining the fact 418 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:53.079 that it was intuitive art, which in some ways I think all art has 419 00:43:53.119 --> 00:44:01.400 an intuitive quality that somehow it didn't make you a real artist. Huh, 420 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:10.199 that's quay not different to me, very good, I think, you know. 421 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.480 And the thing is, we all do it. We all look and 422 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:21.840 say, hey, we were defined certain things were or were not considered artistic. 423 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.920 And one of the things that's so important out there for all my listeners 424 00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:30.079 to remember, as I tease my guests, who I'm sure will never come 425 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:37.039 back on the show again after I do this tour, is this whole idea 426 00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:45.119 of subjective versus objective. And you know, art is just an expression of 427 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:51.360 creativity where you are, where you are in union with your own divine self, 428 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:58.800 and so you, and you and your own divine self created it. 429 00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:05.199 It's art. It counts boys and girls out there. You're right, it 430 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:09.320 does. I am a work in progress. Sometimes I will sell myself short. 431 00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:16.119 That's um one of my limiting self beliefs that I'm trying to work through 432 00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:23.199 with art, among other things. Well, and I think that that's another 433 00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.199 interesting thing. And it's one of the reasons I love what you're doing. 434 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:32.119 You know, I'm a big fan, and and you know, and part 435 00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:38.599 of the reason I'm such a big fan is that we need people that are 436 00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:46.599 out there not just doing it, but also being honest about their journey that 437 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:52.480 they too, even now, sometimes can struggle a little bit like, you 438 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:57.280 know, well, it's not like I'm a I'm not like Michael Angelo. 439 00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.519 I'm not a Rembrand, I'm not a what of her? Well, honey, 440 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.559 that's good. Those roles were taken. You can't have them think it's 441 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:13.519 good to be at Ashley Olstein. But I think it's important for our listeners 442 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:19.679 too. You know, so often teachers, people who put themselves up as 443 00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:27.880 teachers put almost almost feel like they have to come across as if they've mastered 444 00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.480 everything. Instead of saying, hey, I'm on my path of mastery. 445 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.079 And in this path of mastery, yeah, I still have my struggles. 446 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:42.280 There are places I still go yeah, you know, and and but that 447 00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:47.239 makes that teacher not only a good teacher, because then people don't feel like 448 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:50.880 they're kind of like, oh, yeah, well, of course it's easy 449 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:53.000 for them. They've got it all figured out. I'm struggling. If you 450 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:57.920 go, hey, you know, the teacher struggles sometimes sometimes the teacher makes 451 00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.400 stuff like that that the teachers on this journey and they're a place on the 452 00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:07.000 journey where I can learn and be on a better place on my journey. 453 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:13.199 I think anything time you think that you've found a teacher that is perfect it 454 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:22.239 has evolved, you're probably being scammed. Yes, agree, I will be 455 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:28.440 forever learner, for sure. You know, I will never be a complete 456 00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:32.159 I learned something every time I work with somebody else, I learned something from 457 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:40.079 them, so and constantly, constantly on that path. And that's what makes 458 00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.159 the best teachers. I always say when I go into classes, the difference 459 00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:50.880 between the student and the teacher is the student theoretically knows what they're in there 460 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:52.960 to learn, and the teacher never knows what they're in there to learn. 461 00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:02.519 That's true, and so I know that every class I've ever taught has something 462 00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:07.320 to teach me. And if I can stay connected and I will even say 463 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.400 a word people most don't don't don't usually associated with me, humble humble it 464 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:19.400 um, then with every class I teach, I end up being a better 465 00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:30.159 teacher for the next class. That's definitely. So we talked about the problems 466 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:36.559 at the beginning that you took us on about people living in kind of a 467 00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:42.719 robotic, disconnected way. We talked about connecting more with their intuitive which you 468 00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:46.880 do through this class, helping them to open up to intuitive flow. Do 469 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:52.960 you feel like you also do that in your practice. Oh yeah, definitely. 470 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.400 One thing I wanted to mention also, which kind of just takes one 471 00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:05.599 step backwards, is about working with kids. And that's something that I'm really 472 00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:09.880 interested in doing in my next steps, and teaching children the same type of 473 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:19.039 thing to get quiet, to not feel judged or intimidated by any of you 474 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:24.079 know, any creative process they want to endeavor, but to really just learn 475 00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:31.239 how to tap into themselves. I'm excited to try that with younger people because 476 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:37.280 I think that will be kind of an explosion. I think if they can 477 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:43.760 actually touch into that, it will it will grow exponentially very quickly for them, 478 00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:49.559 which will be exciting to see well. And I think I think that 479 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:58.599 part of this is about having a better definition that there is a skill that 480 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:07.880 part of art that can be very helpful. As one of my great teachers 481 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:15.519 where she said, and it was you know that also you know that all 482 00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:20.199 structure was created to transcend, but one cannot transcend what one does not have. 483 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:25.880 And I think learning all of the basic skills of art can be very 484 00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.239 helpful for some kinds of artists, for some not so much. But from 485 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:36.760 there it's just like with a musician. Some of the most fabulous, you 486 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:42.800 know, intuitive musicians all studied all the classics, you know, all of 487 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.760 the absolute ways in which things were done and built on it, and so 488 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:52.360 art is it's it's that what makes one of the things that makes art your 489 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:59.199 art is not developing and perfecting a skill set, but is to take whatever 490 00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:06.360 skill set you have and look at art like an interpretive dance, that it's 491 00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:12.519 your interpretation of whatever it is, your drawing, and it's not about the 492 00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:17.079 skill set the skill set, it's something you're learning you don't learn. Some 493 00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:22.440 people will never have to be able to draw our straight line. Some people 494 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:30.039 will never be able to walk a straight line. Hell, but with a 495 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:37.960 beautiful path that is yeah. But so it is about that fact of taking 496 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:40.280 that and that's why I love you want to work with kids to say, 497 00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:45.159 hey, yeah, we can talk about drawing a stick figure and you can 498 00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:47.360 practice all you want, and there's some great things. And here's some body 499 00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:52.039 mechanic charts and they're going to tell you how to draw a perfect face or 500 00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:55.760 a perfectly aligned stuff. But it doesn't become your art until it becomes interpretive, 501 00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:01.599 until it is the unique reference inventation of you. Now. The other 502 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:05.599 thing we talked about was book banning, and I know that you've got some 503 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.320 stuff going on with books yourself. You want to talk about that a little 504 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:14.159 bit. The sure thing. I also have been hosting a monthly book club, 505 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:22.079 and this is a metaphysical book club where will pick a book and dive 506 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:29.599 into it and have you nice discussion about the topic, you know, dujure. 507 00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:35.599 So every month has been a different book. Some have been about signs 508 00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:40.119 and symbols that you get from spirit. We did Acartoli's The Power of Now, 509 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:45.039 which I found to be really profound. I hadn't read it until recently, 510 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:50.360 which I'm glad I did, and I think that it's helping me with 511 00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:54.599 a lot of the ways. It's actually giving me a definition for the ways 512 00:52:54.639 --> 00:53:01.840 that I've been stealing. So he gave me some words to describe vibe how 513 00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:08.440 I feel about living in the momentum. And so this month we are doing 514 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:16.119 Mitch Album's book called The Stranger in the Lifeboat. It's a it's a quick 515 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:20.800 read. We figured for this summer it would be nice to do a shorter 516 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:27.239 book and but it's got a lot of content and it will be a very 517 00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:34.920 exciting discussion. I think that it's about the belief of God, and you 518 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:38.880 can exchange the word God for anything that works for you, divine source, 519 00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:45.960 Allah, whatever, but just that that higher power, and it's about believing 520 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:52.199 in it wholeheartedly. Well, on this show, we all know my favorite, 521 00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:57.199 The Great Pumpkin. I always you know, I thought The Great Pumpkin 522 00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:07.880 was kind of like rocking it. So now again and give us Facebook, 523 00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:15.119 Yeah, because if they do Facebook, if they do Instagram, if they 524 00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:20.440 do a website, they're going to go where. So if you go to 525 00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:28.360 www dot Solstice Intuitive Arts dot com. Uh, they're sign up there for 526 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:32.920 the monthly book club. You can go to New Hampshire Metaphysical on their calendar. 527 00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:37.800 That's New Hampshire Metaphysical dot com. There's a sign up there as well, 528 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:47.000 and my Facebook is under Solstice Intuitive Arts and there are links, etc 529 00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.360 um there so you can get the book of the months. And I do 530 00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:57.079 take suggestions. By the way, if anybody has a book they want to 531 00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:00.320 dive into, I would love to hear about it. I would certainly consider 532 00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:06.599 it. I also happened to know and I just want to remind people that 533 00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:12.800 New Hampshire Metaphysical is nh Metaphysical dot com. That Ashley is going to be 534 00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:19.840 a reader at our Psychic Arts fair in July. And now I'm the one 535 00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.679 with my pants down because I don't have the date off the top of my 536 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:24.719 head. I'm thinking this around the twenty second, but I'm not sure. 537 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:32.079 But if you go to nh Metaphysical dot com you can see and Ashley will 538 00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:37.320 be there offering in person readings all day. That's in Nashville, New Hampshire, 539 00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:40.519 and it's actually at the same location. For those of you who may 540 00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:46.119 have joined us at our last fair that her workshop is going to be Ashley, 541 00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:52.239 thank you for coming.
