This was great.

How about my animals?

So I started to, I was like, all right, I'll see how it goes doing it for other people formally.

And it just started to really take off from there.

It just like word spread.

And I just really dove into it.

I just sort of have followed my path and I'm like here to serve, you know, I'm just happy to help.

Yeah, totally.

Yeah, and it was something that I kind of blocked out for a long time.

I would be really absorbing a lot empathetically in public –

With animals, like if I was in a shelter, I'd be feeling the animals in the shelter and it would feel overwhelming.

Or people too, like if I was on a bus or something, I grew up in Chicago, and if I was on a bus or the train, I'd be sensing all of the energy in people.

And I had to learn how to kind of block that out.

And they sort of like denied it for a while.

I had a professional career in advertising sales for a while out of college and was doing this sort of in the closet on the side and not telling anybody that I was doing this.

And things just really started to take off.

Then this became my true path.

I finally surrendered to it.

I was like, all right, I'm just going to allow and go with it.

And that's when the floodgates opened.
