and it isn't even Halloween yet.

176
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:29,290
They're just, they're
not plugging them in.

00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:30,530

190
00:04:50,152 --> 00:04:50,884

able to feel other people's auras.

Hold on, let me grab it,
which I think is really true.

We've talked about that a lot.

198
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:51,095
Once you could all speak without
a sound being made and the

199
00:04:51,095 --> 00:04:51,135
sounds you did make were sacred,
purposeful and full of intent.

200
00:04:51,135 --> 00:04:51,180

saying nothing, using air to

So what do you feel like?

270
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,940
So before we talked on the last episode,
you were getting ready for the pageant

271
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:46,656
and kind of give an update on growth

272
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,670

how that all went for you and.

It was a crazy ride.

276
00:06:49,672 --> 00:06:49,674
I kind of, so I'm pretty sure there's,
some parts where I was on stage and

277
00:06:49,674 --> 00:06:49,676
I just kind of was like there and
I was focused on what I was doing.

278
00:06:49,676 --> 00:06:49,678
And then I would go and sit behind
the curtain and be like, talked to me.

279
00:06:49,678 --> 00:06:49,678
I need to breathe.

280
00:06:49,678 --> 00:06:49,678
need to focus.

281
00:06:49,678 --> 00:06:49,679
well, and you talked about learning from

282
00:06:49,679 --> 00:06:49,680
failure, right?

283
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:49,680
And we wanted to talk about growth.

284
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:49,681
So I, obviously didn't win the pageant.

285
00:06:49,681 --> 00:06:49,683
I didn't win any special awards
or anything, but I learned a

286
00:06:49,683 --> 00:06:49,683
lot and I'm doing it again.

287
00:06:49,683 --> 00:06:49,685
So at the end of March, I'm
going to be back up there.

288
00:06:49,685 --> 00:06:49,689
Like I like, I liked it enough and I
wasn't so scared that I wouldn't do it

00:06:49,689 --> 00:06:49,692

there and I was focused
on what I was doing.

303
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,070
And then I would go and sit
behind the curtain and be like,

304
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:13,615
we talk a lot

305
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,470

00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:16,180

00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:22,380

Right.

339
00:08:16,410 --> 00:08:17,546
is when, so like

and then, so like the scoring.

341
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:26,800
It's half of it is interview and you
only get four minutes with each judge

352
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:40,070
day is when,

353
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,746
waving

354
00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:45,270
nobody sees the interviews,
those are pretty private.

355
00:08:45,528 --> 00:08:46,920
because

356
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:50,400
day is when, you know,
we're doing our costumes and

357
00:08:51,094 --> 00:08:52,485

00:08:57,850 --> 00:09:00,070
And it wasn't as scary as
I thought it was gonna be.

363
00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:02,720
Like we were just on the
stage in a high school.

364
00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:04,670
It wasn't anything super crazy.

365
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:09,830
And then I actually,
Chelsea Rasmussen won.

366
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:14,730
She, I think the second I sat
down next to her, it was about

367
00:09:14,730 --> 00:09:16,790
a year ago, Christmas time.

368
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:17,340
I

369

involves

370
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:21,610
down next to her and I
was like, she's gonna win.

371
00:09:21,704 --> 00:09:24,487
family or

372
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:26,700
can just tell she's going to win.

373
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:28,000
What have I been doing here?

374
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:31,070
But she just, she immediately
came down and sat next to me and

375
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,450
was just so kind and welcomed me.

376
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:36,480
And neither one of us had
done a pageant before.

377
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,860
So we bonded over that.

378
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:46,330
And a lot of us, even though we didn't
win, we went to Vegas in August and

379
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,500
that's when they did freaking Mrs.

That was so cool.

383
00:09:53,706 --> 00:09:56,489
so do

384
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,790
got to go down and with a bunch
of other ladies and I got to meet

385
00:10:01,790 --> 00:10:04,820

hang out in Vegas for a few days.

396
00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:31,770
I'm going down to Vegas that involves
kids or family or like my husband

397
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:36,220
would go down there for work and I'd
be pregnant and I couldn't really like

398

00:14:27,460 --> 00:14:28,460
But what a great opportunity.

522
00:14:28,510 --> 00:14:32,350
mean, even just it kind of reminds
me of Miss Congeniality because you

523
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:35,470
think that these girls are going to be
competitive or you think they're going to

But that's not what the
puddin is like at all.

526
00:14:55,210 --> 00:14:55,265
mean, it sounds like it's
just so it's you call him.

527
00:14:55,265 --> 00:14:55,290
What did you call it?

528
00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:55,300
Sash sister.

you look pretty, but a big, of

00:15:06,970 --> 00:15:08,450
course, like that's part of it.

536
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:11,370
You have to do all this hair and makeup

Miss is just anybody that's not married.

549

So if there's anyone listening
that's not married that wants

to do it, applications are open.

Come party with us.

552
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:44,660
But I've already done a lot of
really cool service things just from

553
00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:50,710
being signed up and networking with
people that also want to go out and serve.

554
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,900

like we just had a dinner altogether,

556
00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:01,040

and meeting each other and being able

700
00:19:51,550 --> 00:19:54,260
I couldn't believe it when you were
saying what was going on with your

701
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:58,500
dad and after we'd already done our
interview with like, this is all the

702
00:19:58,510 --> 00:20:01,060
things that have happened to last
year and I'm like, are you kidding me?

703
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:01,900
Really?

704
00:20:02,590 --> 00:20:04,160
Now your dad, I was like,

00:20:05,068 --> 00:20:07,245
McCombs

706
00:20:07,570 --> 00:20:11,952
I'm sending it all your way.

709
00:20:14,830 --> 00:20:15,830
And like my...

710
00:20:15,890 --> 00:20:19,260
so I still have problems with
this whole part of my face.

711
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:22,190
Like I can't really feel it because
that's where I had my shingles.

712
00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:28,600
So like my whole world just over the
last couple years has kind of been slowly

713
00:20:28,750 --> 00:20:33,350
falling apart, but I think it's so that
they can come together a different way.

714
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:37,970
And I'm learning to find my voice
and I'm like figuring out who I am

715
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:39,890
because part of being able to do...

00:20:40,370 --> 00:20:40,550
Amanda McCombs [22:00.104]

719
00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:46,810
these opportunities, the service staff is
networking and talking to other people.

720
00:20:47,090 --> 00:20:52,670
Because maybe there isn't like a
way that you can serve right now.

721
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,990
Maybe it's not the right opportunity,
but maybe there's something out there.

722
00:20:56,370 --> 00:21:00,530
But it's okay to have to put your
energy to other things because

723
00:21:00,550 --> 00:21:02,440
that's needed elsewhere, right?

724
00:21:03,819 --> 00:21:06,962
Like I

725
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:08,020
my mom

726
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:10,106
really

727
00:21:10,510 --> 00:21:15,320
when she was sad was serving other people.

728
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:18,740
So when you're feeling
down, go help somebody else.

729
00:21:19,536 --> 00:21:21,108
had

Amanda McCombs [22:41.355]

733
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:24,520
I put a lot of that energy
into doing the pageant.

734
00:21:24,550 --> 00:21:31,210
And so I think when I am able to go do
these things, like packing things, packing

735
00:21:31,210 --> 00:21:35,800
bags for you, you the kids eat so that
kids can have meals over the weekend

736
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,020
or helping with donation drives or,

737
00:21:39,968 --> 00:21:41,540
years

738
00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:47,430
I think last year around Christmas we had
like a, at the school, we just opened the

739
00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:49,840
doors and we had a bunch of donations for.

740
00:21:49,950 --> 00:21:53,980
local refugees because we
have a huge refugee population

741
00:21:54,114 --> 00:21:55,686
I

742
00:21:55,830 --> 00:22:00,870
had families come and get diapers
and I had two whole frozen turkeys.

743
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:05,365
I was able to deliver a whole turkey meal
to somebody and it wasn't like I wasn't

744
00:22:05,530 --> 00:22:10,820
all over Facebook and all over social
media saying like look at what I'm doing

745

she had just gotten out of the hospital

753
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:28,140
and wasn't able to get Christmas gifts
for her family and I asked what her

1213
00:34:04,530 --> 00:34:07,320
So we've talked about growth over the last

1214
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,337
of like, what

1215
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,720
months, all of the things that
have happened and you've been

1216
00:34:12,730 --> 00:34:14,230
through and you're going through.

1217
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:17,280
And then this is gonna give us an idea
of like, what is it that you need now?

1218
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,950
Like what is maybe off balance
or what might you need?

1219
00:34:22,433 --> 00:34:22,978
gonna

1220
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:27,790
So we're gonna start with the, I'm gonna
move this here so that the camera can see.

1221
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,483
We're starting with the roof.

1222
00:34:29,483 --> 00:34:30,000
Amanda McCombs [35:34.757]

1223
00:34:30,072 --> 00:34:30,618
roof.

1224
00:34:30,618 --> 00:34:32,255
Amanda McCombs [35:34.757]

1225
00:34:32,255 --> 00:34:32,800
man.

1226
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:36,150
And so what we're looking for is
we need to see that the energy

1227
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,050
centers are moving in a circle.

1228

chakra is Sanskrit for wheel, so
it's supposed to look like a wheel.

1231
00:34:45,350 --> 00:34:45,503
we need to see that the energy
centers are moving in a circle.

1232
00:34:45,503 --> 00:34:45,507
The chakra is Sanskrit for wheel, so
it's supposed to look like a wheel.

1233
00:34:45,507 --> 00:34:45,510
If you can see on the

moving and

1238
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,140

So you're very grounded, right?

1241
00:34:54,860 --> 00:35:00,020
My hand is not moving, but the pendulum
is moving and it's in a nice neat circle.

probably say we need a little work.

If you were blocked in the solar plexus.

above the belly button.

00:36:47,490 --> 00:36:52,260
It is kind of more geared
towards self-love than

love and care, especially for women.

with that personal power aspect, it can

1530

it's interesting because the
solar plexus, you know, with that

1531

very different in men and women.

they think is normal and to try an energy

Yeah, well, we all have different
love languages and things like that.

1557
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,310

Yeah, yeah.

1566
00:43:23,243 --> 00:43:23,245
And that's part of the work that I
do, especially when I'm doing energy

1567
00:43:23,245 --> 00:43:23,248
work with people is a lot of times
they'll come and do a session and

1568
00:43:23,248 --> 00:43:23,254
they're like, my gosh, I didn't even
know that was what was going on.

1569
00:43:23,254 --> 00:43:23,406
Like I knew I was struggling
or I knew there was something I

1570
00:43:23,406 --> 00:43:23,668
couldn't quite get what I needed.

1571
00:43:23,668 --> 00:43:24,149
And I kept running into these
like blocks or these patterns

1572
00:43:24,149 --> 00:43:24,367
that I kept falling into.

1573

1574
00:43:24,498 --> 00:43:24,586

1578
00:43:25,066 --> 00:43:25,721
But it isn't until you have a little
help, and that's all it really is.

1579
00:43:25,721 --> 00:43:26,289
mean, energy work or whatever,
you you want to call what I do.

1580
00:43:26,289 --> 00:43:27,434
It's like, I'm not

1581
00:43:27,470 --> 00:43:29,950
of the work that I do, especially
when I'm doing energy work with

1582
00:43:29,950 --> 00:43:33,760
people is a lot of times they'll come
and do a session and they're like,

1583
00:43:34,188 --> 00:43:35,032
how

1584
00:43:35,330 --> 00:43:37,830
I didn't even know that
was what was going on.

1585
00:43:37,860 --> 00:43:40,670
Like I knew I was struggling
or I knew there was something I

1586
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:43,200
couldn't quite get what I needed.

1587
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:46,640
And I kept running into these
like blocks or these patterns

1588
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,360
that I kept falling into.

00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:52,420
it isn't until you have a little
help, and that's all it really is.

1592
00:43:52,530 --> 00:43:56,390
mean, energy work or whatever,
you you want to call what I do.

1593
00:43:56,430 --> 00:44:00,310
It's like, I'm not here to be a guru
and tell you how to live your life.

1594
00:44:00,340 --> 00:44:04,340
I'm just here to tell you,
like, help you through your own

a facilitator.

1596
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:07,590
Yes, exactly.

1597
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,290
So

1598
00:44:09,290 --> 00:44:14,770
I, my friend has some affirmations
that she, like, I don't know

1599
00:44:15,010 --> 00:44:16,060
where she gets them from.

1600
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:18,970
I should ask her because
she does my lashes.

1601
00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:24,300
I'm in her bathroom a lot, but she
gets a dry erase marker and she

1602
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:26,480
writes her affirmations on her mirror.

1603
00:44:27,690 --> 00:44:27,690
for.

You're like a facilitator.

1608
00:44:27,694 --> 00:44:27,697
I, my friend has some affirmations
that she, like, I don't know

1609
00:44:27,697 --> 00:44:27,699
where she gets them from.

1610
00:44:27,699 --> 00:44:27,701
I should ask her because
she does my lashes.

1611
00:44:27,701 --> 00:44:27,706
I'm in her bathroom a lot, but she
gets a dry erase marker and she

1617
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:33,130

you know what I'll do?

1624
00:44:38,580 --> 00:44:42,170
I'll do what I do for clients
typically after a session is I have

1625
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:48,190
some lists of affirmations that are
specific to energy centers and I will

snap a photo of like, here's a list.

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

1637
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,980
to integrate that into your aura.

Yep, the snow jewelry or whatever
it is that you particularly like.

can come into play too, as people

1717
00:47:59,841 --> 00:48:00,176
I may have a spot left.

1718
00:48:00,176 --> 00:48:01,068
Yeah, and I am gonna start a new
one again at the end of this course.

1719
00:48:01,068 --> 00:48:01,794
So with the group we have now,
we're gonna have the six people

1720
00:48:01,794 --> 00:48:02,185
that are in that nice and intimate

1722
00:48:02,444 --> 00:48:04,020
I may have a spot left.

1723
00:48:04,140 --> 00:48:05,050
may have a spot.

1724
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:05,730
Okay, I

1725
00:48:05,850 --> 00:48:10,000
Yeah, and I am gonna start a new
one again at the end of this course.

1726
00:48:10,010 --> 00:48:13,720
So with the group we have now, we're
gonna have the six people that are

1727
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:18,450
in that nice and intimate so we
can all get really close together.

1728
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:21,400
And then when the six month
is up, I'm gonna start another

1729
00:48:21,730 --> 00:48:23,770
six months, one at the end.

1730
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:25,410
So yeah.

1731
00:48:25,670 --> 00:48:26,040
it.

1732
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:29,360
Both of the ones that I
think I've done two different

1733
00:48:29,684 --> 00:48:31,109
a spot.

1734
00:48:31,650 --> 00:48:35,600
art exercise type things with
you and I've really liked those.

1735
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:37,300
So you guys should check them out.

1736
00:48:37,310 --> 00:48:39,100
It's very healing, very cool.

1737
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:39,680
It's a very

1738
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:39,977
guys should check them out.

1739
00:48:39,977 --> 00:48:40,234
It's very healing, very cool.

1740
00:48:40,234 --> 00:48:40,492
It's a very cool process.

Thank you.

1743
00:48:40,956 --> 00:48:43,610
Yeah, and I try to make sure
people know it's not an art class.

1744
00:48:43,900 --> 00:48:44,370

Yeah, and

1748
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,390
It's a healing class.

1749
00:48:47,450 --> 00:48:51,210
We're going through the cycles
of healing and cycles of the

1750
00:48:51,210 --> 00:48:53,300
full moon throughout six months.

1751
00:48:53,490 --> 00:48:55,460
It's gonna be a great thing.

1752
00:48:55,470 --> 00:48:57,940
This is my first time offering
it as a six month course.

1753
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,820
I've done the workshops, obviously, but I

1754
00:49:00,870 --> 00:49:05,250
Well, and the main reason I bring it up is
because part of it is journaling, right?

1755
00:49:05,260 --> 00:49:07,590
So I kind of want to put this in with that

1756
00:49:07,854 --> 00:49:08,906
McCombs

1757
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:10,950
and track it and see, cause

1758
00:49:11,010 --> 00:49:11,230
Yeah.

1759
00:49:11,230 --> 00:49:11,750
Amanda McCombs [50:18.453]

1760
00:49:11,770 --> 00:49:13,210
do some journaling with it.

1761
00:49:13,570 --> 00:49:14,280
That'd be cool.

1762
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,056
Ride

1763
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:15,690
Yes.

1764
00:49:15,690 --> 00:49:20,400
And you may even see how some of this
plays out in our last session with what

1765
00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:25,990
affirmations did I need or when I was
replacing energy from what I painted

1766
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:28,040
out, what was it that I was in need of?

1767
00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:32,810
And then how has this last
week been in coming into?

1768
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:34,980
We're now going into the dark moon.

1769
00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:37,850
So we're going to talk a lot
about descending into the

1770
00:49:37,850 --> 00:49:39,930
darkness, into the shadow work,

1771
00:49:40,063 --> 00:49:40,526
Amanda McCombs [51:00.057]

1772
00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:41,430
can be kind of.

1773
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:43,100
Yes.

1774
00:49:43,100 --> 00:49:43,288
Amanda McCombs [51:00.057]

1775
00:49:43,288 --> 00:49:43,539
It's dark and twisty.

1776
00:49:43,539 --> 00:49:43,978
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [51:03.481]

1777
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,910
But I love that it kind of coincides
with the phases of the moon so we

1778
00:49:46,910 --> 00:49:49,320
can kind of track how that feels.

1779
00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:52,820
Some people feel better during
the dark part and that's when

1780
00:49:52,820 --> 00:49:53,270
they feel they're better.

1781
00:49:53,890 --> 00:49:54,990
So you never

1782
00:49:55,010 --> 00:49:56,820
Seclusion is kind of nice for me.

1783
00:49:56,848 --> 00:49:57,153
then I asked you a question.

1784
00:49:57,153 --> 00:49:57,509
Ride The Wave Media

1785
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,800
Yeah, I get that.

1786
00:49:58,850 --> 00:50:00,350
Peopling is scary sometimes.

1787
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:01,800
For

1788
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,510
Ooh, maybe we should end this.

1789
00:50:04,310 --> 00:50:04,800
Sorry.

1790
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:07,720
We did our whole thing and
then I asked you a question.

1791

Ride

1792
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,640
I know, but that's okay because now
everyone can hear how that's going to go.

1793
00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:15,630
I didn't want to mention you in
the course unless you wanted to

1794
00:50:15,790 --> 00:50:17,620
reveal that you were in the course.

1795
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,990
That's up to you there.

1796
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,770
So thank you for mentioning it.

1797
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,120
But

1798
00:50:22,695 --> 00:50:25,000

1799
00:50:25,310 --> 00:50:26,740

I love it.

1803
00:50:39,322 --> 00:50:39,322
Yeah, it's fun.

If you've listened this far, thank
you and take care of yourself.
