able to feel other people's auras.

We've talked about that a lot.

198
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:54,054
Once you could all speak without
a sound being made and the

199
00:04:54,054 --> 00:04:54,095
sounds you did make were sacred,
purposeful and full of intent.

So what do you feel like?

270
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,610
So before we talked on the last episode,
you were getting ready for the pageant

271
00:06:48,910 --> 00:06:49,616
and kind of give an update on growth

272
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,630

how that all went for you and.

It was a crazy ride.

276
00:06:52,631 --> 00:06:52,633
I kind of, so I'm pretty sure there's,
some parts where I was on stage and

277
00:06:52,633 --> 00:06:52,635
I just kind of was like there and
I was focused on what I was doing.

278
00:06:52,635 --> 00:06:52,637
And then I would go and sit behind
the curtain and be like, talked to me.

279
00:06:52,637 --> 00:06:52,638
I need to breathe.

280
00:06:52,638 --> 00:06:52,638
need to focus.

281
00:06:52,638 --> 00:06:52,639
well, and you talked about learning from

282
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:52,639
failure, right?

283
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:52,640
And we wanted to talk about growth.

284
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:52,641
So I, obviously didn't win the pageant.

285
00:06:52,641 --> 00:06:52,642
I didn't win any special awards
or anything, but I learned a

286
00:06:52,642 --> 00:06:52,643
lot and I'm doing it again.

287
00:06:52,643 --> 00:06:52,645

going to be back up there.

wasn't so scared that I wouldn't do it

we talk a lot

305
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,430

Right.

341
00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:20,506

343
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:29,760
It's half of it is interview and you
only get four minutes with each judge

344

349
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:39,140
long to make an impression and
that part covers half your score.

because

358
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,360
day is when, you know,
we're doing our costumes and

I thought it was gonna be.

365
00:09:03,050 --> 00:09:05,680
Like we were just on the
stage in a high school.

366
00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:07,630
It wasn't anything super crazy.

367
00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:12,790
And then I actually,
Chelsea Rasmussen won.

368
00:09:13,329 --> 00:09:17,690
She, I think the second I sat
down next to her, it was about

369
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:19,750
a year ago, Christmas time.

370
00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:20,300

was like, she's gonna win.

family or

374
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:29,660
can just tell she's going to win.

375
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:30,960
What have I been doing here?

376
00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:34,030
But she just, she immediately
came down and sat next to me and

377
00:09:34,030 --> 00:09:37,410
was just so kind and welcomed me.

378
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:39,440
And neither one of us had
done a pageant before.

379
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,820
So we bonded over that.

380
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:49,290
And a lot of us, even though we didn't
win, we went to Vegas in August and

381
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:51,460
that's when they did freaking Mrs.

got to go down and with a bunch
of other ladies and I got to meet

hang out in Vegas for a few days.

I'm going down to Vegas that involves
kids or family or like my husband

399
00:10:34,830 --> 00:10:39,180

be pregnant and I couldn't really like

702
00:19:54,510 --> 00:19:57,220
I couldn't believe it when you were
saying what was going on with your

703
00:19:57,220 --> 00:20:01,460
dad and after we'd already done our
interview with like, this is all the

704
00:20:01,470 --> 00:20:04,020
things that have happened to last
year and I'm like, are you kidding me?

705
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:04,860
Really?

706
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:07,120
Now your dad, I was like,

708
00:20:10,530 --> 00:20:14,730

00:20:17,790 --> 00:20:18,790
And like my...

712
00:20:18,898 --> 00:20:22,220
so I still have problems with
this whole part of my face.

713
00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:25,150
Like I can't really feel it because
that's where I had my shingles.

714
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:31,560
So like my whole world just over the
last couple years has kind of been slowly

715
00:20:31,710 --> 00:20:36,310
falling apart, but I think it's so that
they can come together a different way.

716
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:40,930
And I'm learning to find my voice
and I'm like figuring out who I am

717
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:42,850
because part of being able to do...

00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:43,510
Amanda McCombs [22:00.104]

721
00:20:43,570 --> 00:20:49,770
these opportunities, the service staff is
networking and talking to other people.

722
00:20:50,050 --> 00:20:55,630
Because maybe there isn't like a
way that you can serve right now.

723
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:58,950
Maybe it's not the right opportunity,
but maybe there's something out there.

724
00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:03,490
But it's okay to have to put your
energy to other things because

725
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:05,400
that's needed elsewhere, right?

726
00:21:06,779 --> 00:21:09,922
Like I

727
00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:10,980
my mom

728
00:21:11,494 --> 00:21:13,065
really

729
00:21:13,470 --> 00:21:18,280
when she was sad was serving other people.

730
00:21:18,820 --> 00:21:21,700
So when you're feeling
down, go help somebody else.

731
00:21:22,496 --> 00:21:24,068

Amanda McCombs [22:41.355]

735
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:27,480
I put a lot of that energy
into doing the pageant.

736
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:34,170
And so I think when I am able to go do
these things, like packing things, packing

737
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:38,760
bags for you, you the kids eat so that
kids can have meals over the weekend

738
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,980
or helping with donation drives or,

739
00:21:42,928 --> 00:21:44,500
years

740
00:21:44,550 --> 00:21:50,390
I think last year around Christmas we had
like a, at the school, we just opened the

741
00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:52,800
doors and we had a bunch of donations for.

742
00:21:52,910 --> 00:21:56,940
local refugees because we
have a huge refugee population

743
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,490
I

744
00:21:58,790 --> 00:22:03,830
had families come and get diapers
and I had two whole frozen turkeys.

745
00:22:04,340 --> 00:22:08,297
I was able to deliver a whole turkey meal
to somebody and it wasn't like I wasn't

746
00:22:08,490 --> 00:22:13,780
all over Facebook and all over social
media saying like look at what I'm doing

747
00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:19,810

she had just gotten out of the hospital

755
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:31,100
and wasn't able to get Christmas gifts
for her family and I asked what her

1215
00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:10,280
So we've talked about growth over the last

1216
00:34:10,660 --> 00:34:12,260
of like, what

1217
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,680
months, all of the things that
have happened and you've been

1218
00:34:15,690 --> 00:34:17,190
through and you're going through.

1219
00:34:17,230 --> 00:34:20,240
And then this is gonna give us an idea
of like, what is it that you need now?

1220
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,910
Like what is maybe off balance
or what might you need?

1221
00:34:25,393 --> 00:34:25,938
gonna

1222
00:34:26,238 --> 00:34:30,750
So we're gonna start with the, I'm gonna
move this here so that the camera can see.

1223
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,442
We're starting with the roof.

1225

man.

1228
00:34:35,890 --> 00:34:39,110
And so what we're looking for is
we need to see that the energy

1229
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,916
centers are moving in a circle.

1230
00:34:41,020 --> 00:34:41,040

00:34:43,660 --> 00:34:47,340
chakra is Sanskrit for wheel, so
it's supposed to look like a wheel.

1233
00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:48,463
we need to see that the energy
centers are moving in a circle.

1234

it's supposed to look like a wheel.

moving and

1240
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,100

1242
00:34:56,306 --> 00:34:57,797
So you're very grounded, right?

1243
00:34:57,820 --> 00:35:02,980
My hand is not moving, but the pendulum
is moving and it's in a nice neat circle.

If you were blocked in the solar plexus.

00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,247
normal and to

1551
00:42:54,370 --> 00:42:58,230
I don't know, break the barrier of what
they think is normal and to try an energy

1552
00:42:58,230 --> 00:43:02,760
work session with me because then they
get to be like, wow, you really see me

1553
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,325
and I'm allowed to be vulnerable and

1554
00:43:05,625 --> 00:43:06,257
healing work.

1555
00:43:06,557 --> 00:43:11,650
express my weaknesses and where I'm
struggling and get some healing work.

1575
00:43:26,202 --> 00:43:26,204
And that's part of the work that I
do, especially when I'm doing energy

1576
00:43:26,204 --> 00:43:26,208
work with people is a lot of times
they'll come and do a session and

1577
00:43:26,208 --> 00:43:26,214
they're like, my gosh, I didn't even
know that was what was going on.

1578
00:43:26,214 --> 00:43:26,366
Like I knew I was struggling
or I knew there was something I

1579
00:43:26,366 --> 00:43:26,628
couldn't quite get what I needed.

1580
00:43:26,628 --> 00:43:27,109
And I kept running into these
like blocks or these patterns

1581
00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:27,327
that I kept falling into.

But it isn't until you have a little
help, and that's all it really is.

1588
00:43:28,681 --> 00:43:29,249
mean, energy work or whatever,
you you want to call what I do.

1589
00:43:29,249 --> 00:43:30,394
It's like, I'm not

1590
00:43:30,430 --> 00:43:32,910
of the work that I do, especially
when I'm doing energy work with

1591
00:43:32,910 --> 00:43:36,720
people is a lot of times they'll come
and do a session and they're like,

how

1593
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:40,790
I didn't even know that
was what was going on.

1594
00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:43,630
Like I knew I was struggling
or I knew there was something I

1595
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:46,160
couldn't quite get what I needed.

1596
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:49,600
And I kept running into these
like blocks or these patterns

1597
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,198
that I kept falling into.

it isn't until you have a little
help, and that's all it really is.

1601
00:43:55,490 --> 00:43:59,350
mean, energy work or whatever,
you you want to call what I do.

1602
00:43:59,390 --> 00:44:03,270
It's like, I'm not here to be a guru
and tell you how to live your life.

1603
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:07,300
I'm just here to tell you,
like, help you through your own

1604
00:44:07,380 --> 00:44:07,470
a

1605
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:07,890
journey.

1606
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,550
Yes, exactly.

1607
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,250
So

1608
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:17,730
I, my friend has some affirmations
that she, like, I don't know

1609
00:44:17,970 --> 00:44:19,020
where she gets them from.

1610
00:44:19,060 --> 00:44:21,930
I should ask her because
she does my lashes.

1611
00:44:22,390 --> 00:44:27,260
I'm in her bathroom a lot, but she
gets a dry erase marker and she

1612
00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:29,440
writes her affirmations on her mirror.

1613
00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:30,650

You're like a facilitator.

1618
00:44:30,653 --> 00:44:30,657
I, my friend has some affirmations
that she, like, I don't know

1619
00:44:30,657 --> 00:44:30,658
where she gets them from.

1620
00:44:30,658 --> 00:44:30,661
I should ask her because
she does my lashes.

1621
00:44:30,661 --> 00:44:30,666
I'm in her bathroom a lot, but she
gets a dry erase marker and she

1627
00:44:32,860 --> 00:44:36,090

00:44:41,540 --> 00:44:45,130
I'll do what I do for clients
typically after a session is I have

1635
00:44:45,390 --> 00:44:51,150
some lists of affirmations that are
specific to energy centers and I will

Even like eating foods or having that
color around is a really great way

1647
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,750
to integrate that into your aura.

1648
00:45:20,050 --> 00:45:20,830
the turquoise.

1649
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,680
Yep, the snow jewelry or whatever
it is that you particularly like.

1650
00:45:27,710 --> 00:45:30,640

can come into play too, as people

Amanda

1723
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:54,790
We really are amazing.

1724
00:47:55,620 --> 00:48:00,240
I was going to ask you because I'm
doing your full moon course, right?

1725
00:48:00,270 --> 00:48:02,410
Do you have any spots
left or is that full?

1726
00:48:02,410 --> 00:48:02,801
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [49:20.425]

1727
00:48:02,801 --> 00:48:03,135
I may have a spot left.

1728
00:48:03,135 --> 00:48:04,028
Yeah, and I am gonna start a new
one again at the end of this course.

1729
00:48:04,028 --> 00:48:04,754
So with the group we have now,
we're gonna have the six people

1730
00:48:04,754 --> 00:48:05,144
that are in that nice and intimate

1731
00:48:05,145 --> 00:48:05,404
Wave Media Podcast Network [49:20.425]

1732
00:48:05,404 --> 00:48:06,800
I may have a spot left.

1733
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:08,010
may have a spot.

1734
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:08,690
Okay, I

1735
00:48:08,810 --> 00:48:12,960
Yeah, and I am gonna start a new
one again at the end of this course.

1736
00:48:12,970 --> 00:48:16,680
So with the group we have now, we're
gonna have the six people that are

1737
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,410
in that nice and intimate so we
can all get really close together.

1738
00:48:21,460 --> 00:48:24,360
And then when the six month
is up, I'm gonna start another

1739
00:48:24,690 --> 00:48:26,730
six months, one at the end.

1740
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,330
So yeah.

1741
00:48:28,630 --> 00:48:29,000
it.

1742
00:48:29,230 --> 00:48:32,320
Both of the ones that I
think I've done two different

1743
00:48:32,644 --> 00:48:34,069
a spot.

1744
00:48:34,610 --> 00:48:38,560
art exercise type things with
you and I've really liked those.

1745
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,260
So you guys should check them out.

1746
00:48:40,270 --> 00:48:42,060
It's very healing, very cool.

1747
00:48:42,060 --> 00:48:42,640
It's a very

1748
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:42,936
guys should check them out.

1749
00:48:42,936 --> 00:48:43,194
It's very healing, very cool.

1750
00:48:43,194 --> 00:48:43,452
It's a very cool process.

1751
00:48:43,452 --> 00:48:43,812
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [49:56.937]

1752
00:48:43,812 --> 00:48:43,915
Thank you.

1753
00:48:43,915 --> 00:48:46,570
Yeah, and I try to make sure
people know it's not an art class.

1754
00:48:46,860 --> 00:48:47,330
You're not

1755
00:48:47,340 --> 00:48:48,357
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [49:56.937]

1756
00:48:48,357 --> 00:48:48,686
Thank you.

1757
00:48:48,686 --> 00:48:49,015
Yeah, and

1758
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,350
It's a healing class.

1759
00:48:50,410 --> 00:48:54,170
We're going through the cycles
of healing and cycles of the

1760
00:48:54,170 --> 00:48:56,260
full moon throughout six months.

1761
00:48:56,450 --> 00:48:58,410
It's gonna be a great thing.

1762
00:48:58,420 --> 00:49:00,900
This is my first time offering
it as a six month course.

1763
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,780
I've done the workshops, obviously, but I

1764
00:49:03,830 --> 00:49:08,210
Well, and the main reason I bring it up is
because part of it is journaling, right?

1765
00:49:08,220 --> 00:49:10,550
So I kind of want to put this in with that

1766
00:49:10,850 --> 00:49:11,866
McCombs

1767
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,910
and track it and see, cause

1768
00:49:13,970 --> 00:49:14,190
Yeah.

1769
00:49:14,190 --> 00:49:14,710
Amanda McCombs [50:18.453]

1770
00:49:14,730 --> 00:49:16,170
do some journaling with it.

1771
00:49:16,530 --> 00:49:17,240
That'd be cool.

1772
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:18,016
Ride

1773
00:49:18,316 --> 00:49:18,650
Yes.

1774
00:49:18,650 --> 00:49:23,360
And you may even see how some of this
plays out in our last session with what

1775
00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:28,950
affirmations did I need or when I was
replacing energy from what I painted

1776
00:49:29,019 --> 00:49:31,000
out, what was it that I was in need of?

1777
00:49:31,220 --> 00:49:35,770
And then how has this last
week been in coming into?

1778
00:49:36,430 --> 00:49:37,940
We're now going into the dark moon.

1779
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:40,810
So we're going to talk a lot
about descending into the

1780
00:49:40,810 --> 00:49:42,723
darkness, into the shadow work,

1781
00:49:43,023 --> 00:49:43,486
Amanda McCombs [51:00.057]

1782
00:49:43,590 --> 00:49:44,390
can be kind of.

1783
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:46,060
Yes.

1784
00:49:46,060 --> 00:49:46,248
Amanda McCombs [51:00.057]

1785
00:49:46,248 --> 00:49:46,499
It's dark and twisty.

1786
00:49:46,499 --> 00:49:46,937
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [51:03.481]

1787
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,870
But I love that it kind of coincides
with the phases of the moon so we

1788
00:49:49,870 --> 00:49:52,228
can kind of track how that feels.

1789
00:49:52,710 --> 00:49:55,780
Some people feel better during
the dark part and that's when

1790
00:49:55,780 --> 00:49:56,230
they feel they're better.

1791
00:49:56,850 --> 00:49:57,950
So you never

1792
00:49:58,250 --> 00:49:59,780
Seclusion is kind of nice for me.

1793
00:49:59,808 --> 00:50:00,113
then I asked you a question.

1794
00:50:00,113 --> 00:50:00,469
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [51:17.019]

1795
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,760
Yeah, I get that.

1796
00:50:01,810 --> 00:50:03,310
Peopling is scary sometimes.

1797
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:04,760
For

1798
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,470
Ooh, maybe we should end this.

1799
00:50:07,270 --> 00:50:07,760
Sorry.

1800
00:50:08,020 --> 00:50:10,680
We did our whole thing and
then I asked you a question.

1801
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:10,940
Ride

1802
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:15,600
I know, but that's okay because now
everyone can hear how that's going to go.

1803
00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:18,590
I didn't want to mention you in
the course unless you wanted to

1804
00:50:18,750 --> 00:50:20,580
reveal that you were in the course.

1805
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:21,950
That's up to you there.

1806
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,730
So thank you for mentioning it.

1807
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:25,080
But

1808
00:50:25,655 --> 00:50:27,960
McCombs

1809
00:50:28,270 --> 00:50:29,700
this is me signing off.

1810
00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:31,660
Witches and wizards, go make magic.

1811
