And actually, there's something really important about that because no one else could have given me permission in a way.

I needed someone who claimed to be able to tap into a non-human belief system, if that makes sense, like a beyond human belief.

thought process because none of my friends would say that to me in the sense that they love me so much they want to completely support me in whatever endeavor I'm choosing to do similarly with my partner similarly with medical professionals they're like well we're here to support whatever decision you make next but you have to make it

Similarly with therapists, like they're not the ones who are going to say you can let it go.

And so actually it was incredibly helpful to me.

And I have since passed or made appointments with that psychic for dear friends of mine who were going through massive challenges.

And at every point she has A, said something different.

So she hasn't always started off with like, oh, you love words.

But B, she said something that has unlocked her.

some power within them to see things differently.

And there's something about that power of knowing, the instinct that we can tap into.

Trust yourself.

Trusting yourself.

And women, for millennia, because of patriarchy, because of everything else, we've been sort of bamboozled out of trusting ourselves because actually it's so powerful.
