In this episode Payton and Shayla discuss quite a range of topics. Including how personal wellness is connected to your spiritual well-being. They share a few different experiences with the world of yoga that was sprung from a conversation about how important movement is to our overall health. The main topic they were excited to touch on today was connecting with celebrities who have passed.  Shayla shares a really cool spirit visitation by a famous 90's rock star and Payton shares a connection he made with his favorite 90's r&b singer.  Even though they are both 90's kids and had connections with celebrities from that era it did not stop Elvis from showing in this conversation also.    Have you ever felt like you've connected with someone well-known or famous who is in spirit? We'd absolutely love to hear about it. Connect with us on Instagram to share your stories.   Our Links: https://bit.ly/Souly-Links

(00:44):
All right.
Hello, Souly listeners.
Welcome to another episode.
Shayla and I are here again, andwe're really liking this energy
of just setting and catching upand having just fun conversation.
So we're going to do it again.
How are you today, Shayla?
I'm doing good.
I was saying before.
We got on this call that I hadpizza last night too late, like

(01:08):
probably around like 11 30 PM.
And you know, you're in your thirtieswhen you wake up and you feel
like absolute crap just from likehaving pizza today was just so bad.
I like felt so heavy.
My stomach wasn't doing good at brain fog.
And I was like, Oh, okay.
I got to treat my body a little better.
So that's where I'm at today.
I totally know what that feels like.

(01:29):
I have been there, and as I toldyou, I told Shayla that, I went
to have, I went to this Italianrestaurant a couple weekends ago,
and I messaged my friend that I went.
with the next morning and I said, isit possible to have a pasta hangover?
I felt like I got hit by a bus, like, ohmy God, I still feel like it's hanging on.

(01:51):
Yeah.
You'll never be the same, butnot in like a positive way.
No, they, I mean, people say thingsabout what happens in your thirties
and I'm approaching much closer to 40.
So they say, they say these things happenand you always think, ah, whatever.
No, they do.
I mean, I sometimes wake up and Isomehow hurt myself while sleeping

(02:12):
and my lower back will be in pain.
Or I feel like I slept in a pretzel shapesomehow and I, I literally just woke up.
So it's.
It's a real thing.
It's a very, I feel like, Ihave noticed I've had to really
back down on working out.
I think I spoke about that a couple ofepisodes ago, just because I was, I was

(02:34):
getting injured, not major injured, butI just needed to listen to my body before
I hurt myself to a point where I wouldnever be able to, or something, you know,
or I wouldn't be able to work or anything.
and then I got sick, so I wasn't ableto really do anything, so since I have
not been working out, I've noticed someof those things being a little worse,
like, you know, and maybe it's justbecause when you work out, your body

(02:54):
just kind of processes food better.
so that might be part of it.
And then, you know, my body, I don't know.
I'm like, which is worse to achebecause you've used your body and you're
working out or ache because you'renot using your body and you slept.
It's just, I guess eitherway, either way, it's fine.
I know.
And then you want to be like, carefulnot to like, get in that mindset of

(03:16):
like, Oh my God, I'm getting so old.
But like, I think there has tobe some acknowledgement of like,
Oh yeah, this is different.
Like I have to make some tweaks andchanges and intuitively listen to my body.
And I kind of had that happento me too, with like this hot
yoga studio I was going to.
And like, it was like good in someways I felt good in some ways.
And in other ways, I didn'tlike there were times.

(03:38):
I just felt like I had, like, whiplash,which sounds awful, like, I just, like,
my body hurts so bad, and then I had tokind of think, like, maybe yoga isn't
for me, like, maybe there's somethingelse that's a little bit better for,
like, my body, so I think we all have tojust, like, listen to what's right for
us, you know, because It may work forother people and stuff like that, but
yeah, we just need to listen to our body.

(03:58):
So I'm trying to figure out what todo now because I paused my membership.
I was like, I have to justkind of wait it out here.
But again, I've talked about this before.
Like I find dance to be areally good exercise for me.
And then just like, even justspiritually, I feel like it just.
Really helps energeticallyand stuff and then stretches.
but you know, sometimes you wantto get out, like I'm trying to
get out and not be antisocial.

(04:18):
So maybe I'll try to find adance studio or something and
connect with other people.
Yeah,
yeah, I know.
I'm not sure about where you are,but we have, there's one that
just opened and it's nothing new.
I mean, I think there were likejazzercise workout places, you know,
back in the eighties and nineties.
So it's nothing new, but, uh, herelocally where I'm at in Des Moines,

(04:40):
Iowa, there is a new, it's a really nice,like, small fitness studio and it's all,
I think it's called pulse dance club.
And I have not been.
but I've had a lot of clients thathave been and they really love it.
So is that something like, or, you know,is that the kind of dancing you would
want to do for like fitness or how wouldyou like, what does that look like?

(05:05):
I've actually, that's like on my list.
I mean, my sisters want to godo, try that like a pole dancing.
And there's so many different kinds too.
Like it's not like you're a stripper, likethat kind of thing, but it's more like.
There's some really like interestingmovements like you can kind of do
like contemporary and like there'salmost more like hip hop like
they're just so like they're reallyintegrated in an interesting way.

(05:25):
So
yeah, definitely.
And I said the club is calledPulse, not pole, just in case
you thought I said pole dancing.
It was Pulse Club.
Pulse.
Well, I want to go pole dancing.
I'm
like, I think you just outedyourself and said that.
I was like, what kind ofdancing do you want to
do, Shayla?
Okay, so, pulse no.
I don't want to do particular dancing.

(05:45):
Well, there's pole dancing.
I want to do pole dancing.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
That, that answered the question better.
And I, I didn't even think of, I guess,I was like, what's she talking about?
like all excited.
Those have been around.
Yes, I 100 I know.
Yeah.
Yes.
And waiting for you to ask, thosehave been around too for a while.
And, I've, I've also had a lot ofclients that do those and yeah, it

(06:06):
takes a lot of strength and a lotof coordination, yeah, to do those.
So those, those are agreat form of workout.
Yeah, maybe that's what I'll do.
I've, God, can you imagine?
And they have ones
like heels and stuff too, which is fun.
Oh yeah.
No, I, I can't just, I mean thatI failed heels in gay school.

(06:27):
I can't, I can't do them.
I think I've tried, I tried them once andI just, I can't, you know, more power to
everyone, men and women that wear heels.
Cause that's, that's a whole nother world.
However, my calves areprobably my best feature.
Naturally, and they did look phenomenal.
I mean, that's not a lie.
No one would say they didn't.

(06:47):
So I wish I, I wish I enjoyed yoga.
You would think that's someone who sucks.
So it's like a hundredpercent and I can't stand it.
I, I just, I don't know.
It's.
I, I wish, cause I know it is so good,especially like, so the, the issues

(07:08):
I'm having are like with my sciaticnerve and like a lot of it's from not
stretching and the type of workoutsI'm doing and blah, blah, blah.
So it would be the solutionto a lot of that, but I just
can't, I can't get into it.
I don't know why.
Have you ever tried hot yoga?
So, Okay.
So the, okay.
So when I moved to Des Moines, I workedfor this company called Lifetime Athletic.

(07:32):
They're all over the country andthey're, there's very nice, very
high scale, fitness centers.
And so they had a salon and theyall have like, not all of them, but
depending on the level of club theyhave, they had salons and spas in them.
So I, That's where I, when I movedhere, I, went there and, it was great.
It was like for threeand a half years anyway.

(07:54):
So they had, obviously a yogastudio upstairs and one of the
girls I worked with in the spa,she talked me into doing it.
I was like, okay, perfect.
We'll go do it.
It was hot yoga.
So we walk into the studio.
And there's only two spots left, likethis room is packed, like these, these
fitness places are just like crazy.
So we go in, we're doing it.

(08:15):
I don't know when I realized it, butI looked up and the reason those two
spots were open were because they weredirectly under the heater that was
pumping the hot air into the room.
I Was so wet when I walked outof there, it looked ridiculous.

(08:35):
Like I, I looked like I jumped out of apool, like drenched and it's your sweat.
So I've just, I was just like,I'd never felt so wet in my life.
And then you walk out into thishuge open fitness space where
all the equipment and stuff is.
Ice cold then because they're pumpingair, you know, obviously in there.
So yeah, that was my first experiencewith yoga and I don't know.

(09:00):
It just was kind of, yeah, itwas kind of downhill from there.
I have a client that owns, his own fitnessstudio where he just does, uh, yoga and
he does a type of yoga called Ashtanga.
And, so any of my yoga peopleout there, if I butcher, like
any descriptions of any of this.
Don't hold it against me, but,it's supposed to be a little more

(09:21):
traditional in the mindset of yoga,not so, you know, yoga has become
so popular all over the world.
This is supposed, this is supposed tobe a little bit closer to the mindset of
like traditional from what I understand.
and I did like it.
So you go in and youdo the same movements.
Pretty much every class orthat's how he teaches that.
And so your, your journey throughthis is to get better and better

(09:43):
and better at those movements, thosespecific movements and get stronger.
And, I did like that.
It felt, I don't know.
I liked the fact that I then could kind ofexpect what to do and I knew what to do.
But I don't know what kind of,what kind of yoga do you do?
I've had a lot
of different, yeah, no, I've tried alot of different ones over the years.
my favorite ones are what I call napclass, where you go into a meditation.

(10:07):
So I don't know if you can really countthat, but, there are some cool ones.
Yeah, there are some cool ones.
Where you do kind of more oflike a meditation type situation,
you're like wrapped in blankets.
I like that.
But that's not exercise.
So beyond that, I've donelike, um, more hot yoga.
And like you're saying, there's onestudio I went to that was They kind
of had their own set movements thatthey did every week kind of thing.

(10:31):
They've since expanded, but like, thatwas kind of nice in a way where you're
like, you're kind of working on somethingand your body gets more used to it.
So I did appreciate that in that way.
And then I've been going to thisone studio close to my home here.
And they have a mix of hot andregular classes, which is kind
of nice and meditative stuff.
I just think like, Idon't know what it is.
I think it's more so like thedownward dog that gets me sometimes.

(10:51):
Like there's certain positionsthat I just get really dizzy with.
And then it just doesn't feel good for me.
so I think like, depending on yourbody and your sensitivity and things
like that, but I will say like my firstexperience with hot yoga was, oh my
gosh, probably like 15 years ago whenI went with my cousin to the studio
and it was the weirdest experience I,I later found out that it was like.

(11:14):
Bikram yoga, which isbasically like, I don't know.
Now cult kind of yoga studio or And so theguy didn't know those existed yeah, no, I
mean like honestly you have to be carefulwith yoga a lot of times really is Yeah,
there's a lot of Yoga, like subsets thatare like basically known as high control

(11:37):
groups or cults kind of things you have tokind of be careful where you go and stuff.
But this particular one interesting.
The guy who started itwith the last name Bickram.
I can't remember his first name.
He was accused of like, Essay and stufflike that and, you know, different
assault allegations and things like that.
probably money laundering.
I'm pretty sure there's so manydifferent documentaries I've seen.

(11:59):
Oh, I'm sure.
But like similar stuff.
I can't quite remember the details.
so a lot of the studios ended up changingtheir names and not associating with
him anymore over the last like fiveyears, I would say maybe even more.
But yeah, the first time I went, thestudio atmosphere was so strange.
I remember there just being like alot of plastic and then heaters and
it just kind of felt weird and itjust had like a weird smell to it.

(12:20):
I was like, okay, like I've heardso, so many things about this
that are like positive, likepeople get really into it, right?
and so I go in with my cousinand it was like the most intense.
Yoga session I've ever had work out and Iwas super fit at that time mind you like I
was dancing 15 hours a week at that point.
I was very strong, very nimble,very flexible, all that stuff and

(12:41):
the heat in that room was insane.
Like it was like to the point where likeyou could pass out kind of situation
and the way that they pushed people.
It wasn't like and just listen toyour body like most yoga places
will be like listen to your body.
This isn't a competition.
No, this was like a competition.
Don't listen to your body.
You push it harder.
Right?
And so like the positions and theamount of time that they got you to
hold it, like you're just pretzelingand doing these crazy things.

(13:03):
I could do it at the time, but holdingit in heat for that long, I could not
function for two weeks after that.
And me and my cousin both wentout and she was a dancer too,
and we were like out of it.
Like glazed looks on our face.
We had like massive headaches.
And it went back, I think,one more time after that.
I don't know why Iwanted to torture myself.

(13:24):
God, so we went back.
But
yeah, like I found out that.
That's like something that they'reknown for is really pushing people and
not listening to your body and justkind of like, and the whole thing was
like, you know, the guy would stand atthe front of the room, like the main
teacher that created the Bikram yoga,like he'd had like big sessions and
stuff and he would just yell at peopleand like, You would get into this

(13:47):
mindset of wanting to impress him andthen it became this whole thing, which
is where the cult aspect of it came in.
And I think a lot of the studios kindof like replicated that mindset with
like their teachers of more being likethe teacher is a higher up person and
you need to listen to your teacher andthey know better and all that stuff.
So.
That was my little like,dabble into the cult world.
I don't know, but like,I didn't know at the time

(14:07):
you checked two boxes.
You checked two boxes in one instance.
That's great.
Get them done.
But
yeah, it was.
It wasn't the greatest experience.
And so I was a little wearyafter that to go to any yoga.
And then I found a studiothat wasn't crazy and was
like, no, listen to your body.
So that was appreciated.
So always,
I don't care what typeof workout you're doing.

(14:29):
If you're 30 plus listen to your body,if you don't, if you don't listen to
it, it only starts speaking louder.
Yeah.
And I mean, listen to yourbody too, in general, like even
when I look back at my dancing.
Life when I was younger some of thethings that the teacher pushed on us.
It's like that's not goodLike I'm sure to this day.

(14:51):
I still have some like knee issues andthings like that based on I'm not really
understanding how the body works andthat you shouldn't push it Yeah, or
so always good to listen to yourselfand tell your kids to listen to their
bodies if they're saying no theirbody Say no, you know give them the
courage to say no to their teacher orauthoritative figure and all of that.

(15:12):
So yes
I've got to get back.
It's funny because I mean, in ourconversation just now and like in other
conversations, working out and fitnesskeeps coming up in one form or another.
So I feel like these are how I'm clairaudiently being reminded by spirit.
Don't, you know, take care of yourself,make sure to get back doing some,

(15:33):
you had a nice little break now, youknow, it's time to keep get back up.
Yeah, time to find somethingthat works for you.
So as you do approach these, you know,older ages and you, as you do continue
on, you have an a little bit of easiertime hopefully when we get there.
'cause You know, that's, that's kindof part of the reason I do it is, I
mean, I, I, it makes me feel good.

(15:54):
It's great for my mental health, butlike, I want to be able to still like,
get around and do things when I'm,you know, when I get older and older.
So.
And our circulation and our body,like we hold so much energy in
it that it's like, we need thatmovement somehow or another, right?
So it was just finding what feelsgood for, us individually, basically.
I'm glad you just said thatbecause it reminded me, I'm taking

(16:14):
a little bit of a left turn.
I was scrolling through Netflix andthere was a documentary, a TV show,
something, and it was about blue zones.
Are you familiar with what those are?
No, I'm not.
Okay, so there's these areasin the world where people tend
to live to be over a hundred.
Okay, okay.
And so they call them blue zones.
Yeah.
And I've watched, I have watcheda special of something on it, but

(16:38):
this was, I don't know if this wasnew or the same one or something.
I don't remember, but in thelittle preview that it showed on
Netflix, I was just listening toit as I was continuing to scroll.
And he was talking about,because you hear people, a lot
of them are in the Mediterranean.
Okay.
And.
And especially my favorite place, Greece.
And which I think might beanother sign to move there.
And somehow, and they were, you know,you hear people talk about, Oh, the

(17:03):
Mediterranean diet, the Greek diet.
That's the best.
That's why people live long.
It's about the food.
It's the, the, the olive oiland the, and the seafood and
that, it added it out the fresh.
Well, this was talking about,it's not just the food.
It's that like.
Culturally, especially in Greece,you know, they gather usually
as a family, either, you know,weekly or however that looks.

(17:28):
And at these gatherings, they'reusually around a lot of people,
which is just good for mental health.
And they're laughing and howimportant actually the physical
act of laughter is physicallybeneficial to your organs and stuff.
And then.
They, you know, it's very culturalto get up and everyone dance, you

(17:49):
know, there's like the traditionalGreek dance where they all like
hold hands and go in a circle.
And, you know, they just, they celebrateand they were like that physical
activity of just dancing is likeequivalent to, you know, however many
days of the, however many workouts orwhatever, because they do it all night
long and they just keep celebrating.
So it just, so it wasjust cool to kind of.

(18:10):
Expand on that idea that it'sjust the, the Mediterranean
diet that's so beneficial.
you know, it actually is more, but again,it was to your point that like movement
is so important, so important to our,just our wellbeing and every aspect.
that's why.
I think it's so important to lookat our lives from like a holistic
standpoint, because it's usuallynot just one specific thing.

(18:34):
It's all these different areas in ourlife that come together and, you know,
need to work in like a synchronistic way.
So that's really kind of like a coolpoint that you're showing with the blue
zones and how it's not just the one thing.
So yeah.
Right.
Right.
It's a blend.
Okay.
Well, we had kind of chatted that wewanted to talk about a fun topic that you

(18:57):
and I have kind of shared a little bit.
And we've always, you have alwayswanted to bring this up on the show.
and then we decided to todaywas going to be the day.
So let's get into a little bit of Wooloo.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I've noticed.
For myself, and just observing otherpeople, that there are certain, like,
public figures, or even celebrities,that have passed away, that people

(19:21):
tend to really gravitate towards,almost to, like, a spirit guide level.
And so, I've had a lot of time tokind of think about why that is.
And I think one of the perceptionsWhen people say like, Oh, I'm really
connected to this person or whatever.
So I'm going to use Elvis asan example, just randomly.
Cause I'm just
going to say Elvis.
I was just thinking about Elvis.

(19:43):
Yeah.
It was like, who am I going to talk about?
Oh my God.
Cause I just watched that movie.
So I was like, I'm goingto talk about Elvis.
Okay.
Keep going.
Sorry.
So yeah, like him as an example.
And I think a lot of theperception is like, well, why
would Elvis want to connect withyou or what makes you so special?
And I think that.
Just as like a collective kindof situation or thinking about it

(20:06):
from more of an expanded viewpoint.
It's like, we're all here to connectwith each other and intertwine
with each other's stories.
And I think there are certain peoplethat come into this world with that
knowledge that they are going to be apublic figure and they're going to be
more seen and that's part of their story.
And a lot of them end up, you know, wesee a lot of them dying young, right?
Like, I think it's like, what is it?
The 27 club or whatever, right?

(20:28):
Where we see these artists andactors and all, you know, like all
these different people who end up.
Dying at this time.
they've all have livedreally intense life stories.
So I think a lot of people reallyconnect to their stories and the
things that they've went through.
And so I think these, public figurecelebrities come into the world kind
of knowing that that's going to be apart of their role, too, is connecting

(20:50):
spiritually to multiple people whenthey're alive and also, and maybe they
weren't prepared for it either, right?
Like, during their living time,because that's a lot, but even just
spiritually, I feel like That's partof their job is to be somewhat of
a spiritual support to people, inthat way and help inspire them to.
So yeah, that's a little bit of my takeon it, but you're going to say Elvis,

(21:14):
well, no, that's.
I like that cause you kept sayingthat they were, they came here to
assist people in a spiritual way.
you know, what we were just talkingabout with the blue zones and you and
I've had conversations about this alsobefore outside of the podcast, about,
you know, spirituality isn't just talkingto angels and, reading cards or, you

(21:36):
know, bringing through messages of theloved ones or having Reiki done or yoga.
It's not just those things.
It's everything.
It's, it's listening to music and healingthrough whatever that is that's spiritual.
It's spirituality is about taking care ofyourself, like your inner you, you know?
so because that inner you thatlives forever, like that's
part of the bigger picture.

(21:56):
And like, that is, I mean,you are a spiritual thing.
We all are.
And that's kind of how I see, youknow, cause you made it, you brought
it up another interesting point aboutfeeling not worthy of connecting or
whatever to, because I've had this, ifyou do connect to someone that would
have been famous or whatever, I thinkit's good to remember that like, yeah.

(22:19):
I think, like you were saying, we allcome in here to have an experience,
but when we all go back, we're all thesame thing, you know, like there is
no, it's a even playing field thing.
No, you're, we are all the same thing.
We are all.
The same thing.
So, so I think that's a good thingjust to remember if you do have an

(22:40):
experience where you're like, I'mfeeling really connected and inspired and
whatever from whoever Elvis or whoeverit is, go with it because why not?
Why are you not good enoughto be inspired for something
or healing from Elvis Presley?
Oh, I was going to say thereare also a lot of these.
Public figure celebrities that kindof also represent like an archetype.

(23:02):
And I think as humans, we're justnaturally drawn to archetypes and
relating to these kinds of stories too.
So yeah.
Right.
Do you have a celebrity that youfeel like drawn or connected to?
Like, do you have a connection with that?
I do.
And I've had it for like a weirdlylong time, which is also kind of
what connects in an interesting way.

(23:23):
I've always been really connected toKurt Cobain and I remember being like
five or six and seeing like, I've neverlike there's some aspects of the music.
I'm not like a huge fanof, I don't, it's funny.
Actually.
I'm not like, I'm more of a soft person.
So a lot of that music's a little bitmore like loud and harsh and stuff.
I actually really like, uh,which one is like the MTV.

(23:45):
I'm so like, Brain foggedright now because of my pizza
brain, but the unplugged
brain unplugged.
Yes.
Yeah.
I just, I really love that one.
so when I was younger, I remember justlooking at, I was at a Boston pizza.
I don't know if you guys have thatin the U S it's a pizza place here.
And they had a jukebox thatwould flip and stuff like that.
And I remember seeing this.
album cover and it had like a babyfloating in water and just being really

(24:08):
attracted to that and wanting to hear thatsong and then being like, wow, that's a
really loud song once it was turned on.
and then there was another, we've talkedabout this where like, there's this
image I have in my head and apparentlyother people do too of Kurt Cobain
wearing this like fuzzy pink sweater.
And that was one of my first albumEncounters with his image in my life.
So that's why when I found outthat was a Mandela effect, I was

(24:29):
like, that's creepy and weird.
That kind of made me feel a bit weird, butyeah, I just resonate with, which could
also, that could also have beena validation for you that you
had this image in your brain.
And then,
yeah, exactly.
Because like, that's literallythe first time I remember seeing
him be like, Oh, who's that?
Oh, that's Kurt Cobain.
And it was very much so thatpicture of him with this, you

(24:52):
know, fuzzy pink sweater situation.
so Yeah, Kurt Cobain, I just, Ithink I started getting a little bit
more into his story and things, andactually, I feel like he has helped
me to develop intuitively, becauseobviously he had a very high profile.
and I think when I was about 13 or14, I started to kind of feel into

(25:13):
different things and I was gettingcertain kind of like thoughts in my head.
Now that I understand it more,I'm like, okay, that's like
clairvoyance, clairaudience and stuff.
And then I would research it and find alot of people were feeling the same way or
things were like different little things.
So I feel like he's helped me in that way.
Interestingly enough, in terms ofdevelopment, and then I just always
have all these like random littlesigns and things that happen.

(25:35):
And they'll always happen atleast three times in order.
And I'm like, okay, that'snot like a coincidence.
And then I had a spirit visitation dream.
I swear to you guys, I had a KurtCobain spirit visitation dream.
It was years ago.
I did.
It was so cool.
So I had this dream that I was,I felt like a DMV, like I was
registering my vehicle or something.

(25:56):
And then someone came up tome and said, Oh, he's here.
I was like, who's here?
And they're like, Kurt's hereand he wants to talk to you.
And I was like, okay, thisis what, this is weird.
And then suddenly I'm in this likeold school, McDonald's, like, I think
like 1995 type situation, like what aMcDonald's would look like at that point.
And so I'm sitting at this like cafeteriakind of style, McDonald's on these

(26:17):
hard chairs, and then he comes and hesits with me and he looks what he would
look like now, like his age of now.
which is interesting because he'solder, his hair is a little bit
different, it's a little darker.
he's like more age to his face andthen he started talking to me and I
don't remember what we talked about.
I just remember.
Oh my god.
The feeling and just being like knowingthat it was him and then when I woke

(26:38):
up I was like, oh my god, that's soweird I remember looking at the date and
being like this date feels familiar Andthen I looked it up and that's the day
that he would have technically died onAnd so I was like, whoa, that's crazy.
Like it was just this weird.
Whoa yeah, it was just the like I knowthe difference too now between like a
dream and then like a spirit visitationdream and that was definitely one of them.

(27:00):
And so that was really interesting.
And, and again, I think this is somethingwhere people will go, well, why would
he want to like connect with you?
And that's where I kind of say backagain to like, we're all of the same.
He came here to inspirepeople in different ways.
Same with anybody in this life.
And so why not?
Right.
But yeah, that was very fascinating to me.
Oh, that is cool.

(27:20):
I did not know that about you.
Yeah.
How about you?
Do you have anybody?
so like when you brought up Elvis, Ihad just watched the movie about Elvis.
and there was something veryinspiring about learning about him.
and just thinking of, what a moment oftime that was like when in the, you know,

(27:40):
the movie portrays he's on stage forlike one of the first times and like the
women in the audience are going crazy.
Like they can't even contain themselves.
They start screaming because it givesthis impression that like, well,
I mean, it was at that time, likethat him gyrating, his hips was.
Never done by men on stage, you know, likeno one had seen anything like that before.

(28:03):
And it was like this really freeingone moment for women to be able
to express themselves sexually andlike be able to just like be like,
yes, that's what we want to see.
See, you know, like that felt verypowerful and like such a powerful moment
and like really, you know, and I don'tknow, I don't know the truth about

(28:23):
the truth of the truth of his story.
Cause I guess there's aPriscilla movie that's out also.
I've not seen it and it portrayshim a little differently.
I don't know what happened or what badchoices he made as a man when he was
here, but it is that kind of thing.
Like he came in and shifted somethinglike that shifted the mindset.
Towards a more per, you know,a bigger, better direction.

(28:47):
You know, a more, evolved state of mind.
I mean, we're constantly evolving andtrying to peel back some of these archaic
ways of thinking that don't really, I,you know, they don't work for us anymore.
So he was one of those peoplethat came in and did that.
So I just, that to me,I was very connected to.
I just thought that was really cool.
However.

(29:07):
The one that I would probably reallysay is, and I was pretty young when she
died, actually, I was in high schoolbecause she died like two weeks before
nine 11 happened, but it was Aaliyah.
She was a singer and the, uh, Ieverybody, if you don't know who she
is, then change the channel or Google.

(29:34):
Um, I, yeah, I Google her, please.
She, um, I loved her.
Like when growing up, that was,she was my favorite singer.
I was so emotionally distraught whenshe passed, like, Oh, it was horrible.
And then I remember like.
Then all of, cause she was a part,she was kind of a part of this group

(29:57):
of other R and B singers of the time.
There was like these different, youknow, I didn't totally understand
it as a kid, but, um, so I know itwas like Missy Elliott and Genuine.
And there was like allthis, this one group.
And so it was the MTV moviemusic awards, I think was a week.
I mean, it was shortly after.
And I remember they all got up thereand they did this tribute to her.
And I was just, Oh, I was a mess.

(30:21):
It was so bad.
I loved her anyway.
So when I started developing mediumship,I, I was having a conversation with
someone that topic came up of like, youknow, could you talk to a celebrity?
And I was like, I don't know.
And I was like, that is crazy.
I am like, I am communicatingwith the other side.
I fully believe that now.
And I realize what it is and why not?

(30:41):
Could I connect with Aaliyah?
Could I?
Two days later, a woman that works for me.
Was like, I was at the storeand I brought you this.
I just bought it out of nowhere.
It was a sweatshirt ofAaliyah with angel wigs on it.
That's awesome.
I love that.
That's where that came from.

(31:03):
I've seen pictures of you.
I've seen it.
It's on my Instagram.
Like it's, I posted it like,and you can see in my face.
The pure like joy and shock.
Not only do I now own an Aaliyahsweatshirt, which, how did she find an
Aaliyah sweatshirt, like today, you know,like, Oh my God, it's my favorite thing.

(31:23):
So to me, that was, youknow, it was a wink.
It was a wink from spirit.
Like you can do this.
You can, you know, youcan connect with us.
We're all here.
so that was cool.
That, um, yeah, that's, that's my, yeah.
That's my story with that.
But I think it's interesting.
I also know someone though, like, I thinkit can go, how do I want to navigate this?

(31:48):
I think some people, yes, I thank you.
I'm, I think there's a healthy wayto, navigate that when, looking up
to someone that is popular, I think,there's certain people here that do.
I think their mission, like yousaid, is to come and create change.
I think sometimes the energy of thatindividual is different than someone

(32:15):
coming here to learn, maybe, uh,just as important, but different type
of lesson that maybe doesn't needto be in such a higher vibration.
Right.
So I think, yeah.
you can sense that in people.
I think that is why people tend tobecome famous or tend to be followed or

(32:36):
whatever, because people can sense inthem this, like, little bit of something
that's, that's a little bit different.
but I think it can get also, I think,in many moments throughout history,
we've seen that not go so well because,um, you know, just because someone
comes here and they're here to createchange doesn't mean that, you know,
them as a human is always the best.

(32:57):
representation of that.
So, yeah, I think that's important.
I've, I've known some people who have,you know, that that's a big like world
kind of big picture comment that I justmade, but to kind of bring it back,
like, I do know someone that very muchadores a celebrity to the point that.
In my opinion, it is, it is unhealthy.

(33:19):
and I'm not a, um, I'm not a doctor.
I am not a, I am none of that.
This is just my personal opinion.
because I've just seen it negativelyin ways negatively in such ways,
beautifully inspire, but in otherways, kind of negatively, effect.
And that's again, my opinion.
So, what do you feel on that?
So I'm just curious, is thisperson that they are really into?

(33:41):
Are they past?
Are they living?
They are still alive.
Everyone is still alive.
So this is a, I, yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to say like, Taylor Swift.
I don't know if this is the samething, but like, Taylor Swift
is kind of becoming a cult.
It's alright.
And I know like, Careful, wedon't want to lose people, Shayla.
We don't want to lose people.
You tread lightly.

(34:03):
I
know.
You guys, you can go, like,there's podcasts on it.
There's like, people havedone deep dives on this.
And like, that's not to say there'sanything wrong with, you know, like,
resonating with anybody or likingsomebody, but I think, in general,
we're all susceptible to that type ofenergy, and it's really important to

(34:24):
have an awareness of it, and it, youknow, I think a lot of us are trying to
escape certain aspects of our lives, andthen we can even get, you know, thrown
deeper, Into those types of scenarios,but not saying that her music is bad.
Like I enjoy TaylorSwift too, to be honest.
I love dancing to her and all thatand singing along with her songs,
but I just noticed that is somethingthat it's becoming so big that

(34:46):
it's almost like it's true too big.
Like, I don't know.
And that's the crazy thing too.
It's true.
And I mean good for her for beingable to handle that too, because.
I don't even know.
Like, I think that's what really getspeople a lot who become, famous, right?
The fame kills them.
It's too much.
It's like a lot of energy to have on you.

(35:07):
Like, that's the whole worldkind of projecting onto you,
which is really, I can't imagine.
That would be my, my nightmare.
So.
Especially when Especially with her withhaving to carry this, weight of being
America's sweetheart and so many peoplethinking she's America's sweetheart and
having to keep up with that image whenshe is just an adult, she's not perfect.

(35:32):
She's human.
She's, you know, just like we all are.
And, That's a lot to carry.
And that's a lot of pressure.
That's what happens with all of these,like, and I'm not going to blame his
celebrity on the choices he made or wasaccused of or whatever, but like Michael
Jackson, like you've, you have to, youhave to believe that somehow when you
become so big and it's like, you can'teven be a man or a woman anymore, or

(35:57):
a person you're this You're this idolnow that like, that doesn't have like
a massive effect on your human brain.
Cause that just, that is so much to carry.
So, cause I even, there was someonethat brought up something about Taylor
Swift the other day that, she might behanging out with someone that doesn't
have the best light shown upon them, likea, like a girlfriend, another friend.

(36:20):
And.
That they were shocked that shewould like be like hanging with her.
And I'm like, well, I mean, I get itbecause she has, they have this image of
her, but like, she's also just a personlike, and so was that other person.
Maybe, maybe they get along.
I don't know.
Like it's, it's, I don't know.
I, I have no desire for that lifestyle.

(36:42):
Like that would just be torture.
I mean, the money would be great.
That would, I would make methink twice with the money.
But
the money would almost be too muchto like, I think there's a certain
money can have energy to it.
Right.
So yeah, exactly.
What do you do with all that?
And yeah, that can get really confusingfor people to, especially when you
really come from nothing, like you don'thave that type of lifestyle, you're,

(37:04):
you know, lower income and then youjust shoot up to this enormous amount.
especially the music industry.
It's a machine.
It's a system.
Like you don't reallyown yourself anymore.
Like you are a product of someone else.
And I think that can bereally dehumanizing too.
So there's a lot to that.
It's a lot.
Right.
I can't imagine.
And I think it's that, I mean, it'sonly worse now, but I think that was.

(37:26):
I mean, more or less kind of what happenedto Elvis to bring it back to him, like,
you know, just the pressure and the stressand the weight that that all carries.
So, that is an interesting topic.
Why do some spirits come in and,that's the road they choose is fame.
And like, that's a, that's kindof an interesting topic to think
of as well, but, I don't know if.
We did have that one, uh, we didthe one reading the mediumship

(37:49):
reading where it was Kimberly andher great aunt or whatever came
through and she was in Hollywood.
So we've connected witha celebrity there also.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if Iget that drawn to people.
If, I mean, there's certain people, if Isaw them, I would probably start crying.
So I'm not saying I'm like numb toit all, but I don't know if there's

(38:11):
anyone that I, that like, I wouldhave to like intentionally try to
call upon for guidance or help.
But, but yeah, I likethe mindset of why not?
Why not bring them in?
Yeah,
no, I'm kind of like that too.
I'm not, I've never reallybeen into celebrities.
to be honest, or anything like that So Ifeel like it was interesting that I felt
gravitated towards Kurt Cobain, it was,I think for him, like fame was something

(38:34):
that really weighed heavy on him as well.
and it was something that he wanted toget away from, And I was just thinking
too, like, I think a lot of these.
Especially with these high profiledeaths and things with public figures
and celebrities, it's oftentimes, fora lot of people, the first time that
they're experiencing grief as well,which I think is really interesting, like

(38:54):
that can be, and then you're You haveyour friends and other people who are
also feeling the same thing too, right?
So it is, it kind of becomes, youknow, more like of a collective
experience in a way too.
So it's, kind of something to thinkabout too, I guess, now that I'm
kind of.
That is very true.
Just like, I mean, like WhitneyHouston, like, you know, sadly it was
a, a long journey that we all watched,leading up to what happened, but.

(39:19):
You know, it's, it's just so sad.
It's just like, it just feels like such a.
like a little bit of an extra glimpseof heaven, you know, like when they
have just like, I mean, like her, shejust had this voice that was like,
you, you know, it was just so powerfuland it was so beautiful and, you know,
she was, you know, a good person.
Obviously her road was very hard for alot of different reasons, but, um, it's

(39:43):
just, and that's how I felt with Aaliyah.
It was just like, you could justsee what a beautiful soul they were.
You know, we all are beautifulsouls, but I don't know.
Something sparkled different.
And it's just so, it's just sodisappointing because, you know, we don't
like to see when we see enough negativityand all that stuff in the world.
So it just, it's hard to see whenyou see these little magical pieces
that make the dark stuff tolerablewhen you see those go away.

(40:05):
So sure.
Well, we have talked about somethingon the show for many episodes.
and it's a topic that we've been wantingto cover, and if I'm not mistaken, we have
a scheduled interview with said personwe wanted to have this conversation with.
So, we have a, episode comingup about the Akashic records.
You have heard us talk aboutthat time and time again.

(40:27):
and we have a really amazing soul comingon to explain this to us, and I cannot
wait to introduce her to all of you.
And then we also have someone comingon to talk to us about human design.
which if you have not heard of that, it'skind of this blend of all these different
forms of like, it's astrology and it'slike a few other things all blended

(40:50):
into one to give you this really deepreading about yourself and your journey.
And that's kind of howyou approach your world.
It's really awesome.
So I can't wait to share that oneeither, because I've had recently, I
had a reading, with this and it justopened up my eyes so much about how I
work day to day and like what drivesme and where that energy comes from.

(41:10):
