The more time that passes, the more I realize just how "constructed" this reality is. That no one actually knows what they're doing, that there are no rules, that we're all carrying loads of ancestral and childhood trauma (whether you're conscious of it or not), and that how many view the world is entirely dependent on how they were raised, what they were taught during those years, what they chose to believe then (and continue to believe now), and how they've come to define "reality" on both an individual and a collective level.

This is one such perspective: The Universe according to KM. I decided to record a podcast on what I think and what I know and what I've been shown in and by nonphysical, because honestly, trying to write this caption is extremely difficult. Sometimes speaking the actual words is easier than typing them. In today's episode, I'm diving into why reality is like a mall (yes, like a shopping mall -- just listen to it, it'll make sense) and also where we go when we dream. Because if you think you're just "resting" so that you have the physical energy to perform your Earthly tasks for the next day, there's a whole other *world* I'm about to introduce you to.

Now, I'm not usually one to talk about politics, finances, world events, or even "the news", but when it's something as big as a Reddit thread taking down the financial giant that *was* Wall Street? You know we have to talk about it—and from a metaphysical/spiritual perspective 🔮⁣

⁣

All last year, I was receiving messages from my guides that were heavily focused around the financial system. So many, in fact, that I started to detach from money completely—how we "value" it, the fact that it doesn't actually exist in the way we *think* it does, and that the only reason it has power is because we, as a collective, have chosen to believe in it 🤯 Whether that choice was conscious or not is another story—but what's happening on Wall Street is a prime example of a collective understanding that the current systems and structures in place are *not* serving the greatest good. Deep down, we've all known that—and thanks to a coordinated effort from the non-1% (like you and me), there's been a major disruption to one such system 💰⁣

⁣

One of the most fascinating messages I've been receiving is to *embrace* the chaos. To, in a sense, encourage the destruction 💣 This is what it will take to rebuild and start anew. With over 5 planets shifting into Aquarius between now and February, next month is going to be wild 👀And I'm making a commitment to share what comes through in my readings, even if it doesn't make sense to me at the moment. In hindsight, it always does.⁣

We do, indeed, create magic every day, even if the "form" of that magic looks different than we might expect or think. I recorded this particular episode because I wanted to be your hype woman -- or, more accurately, the collective's hype woman. The *world's* hype woman. Because I know how things look right now...

I hope this episode prompts you to remember your power. To remember who you are, why you're here, and what you came here to do... *who* you came here to be. And if you've been feeling weird, or funky, or off, or like there's something you just can't shake, I hope this episode clarifies that all those feelings? Mean you're actually walking the path. You're on it, you're on it, you're on it. The magic is working, the Universe is rearranging, things have been put into motion, and it is all WORKING.

So much is shifting and happening beneath the surface right now, and while we can't always see the evidence in our physical reality, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That doesn't mean things aren't happening. My intention is to remind you of this today (and all days).

We're so free... that we're free to choose BONDAGE.

Yep, read that again.

When will we, as humankind, begin to move forward, instead of repeating these same cycles, over and over again? Same root trauma, different day. Same outcome, different circumstances.

It's not easy to step outside of your own bias, your own perspective, your own *identity* and see what's really going on.

So this is me, stepping back, as I always aim to do before I record anything on the podcast. I hope that it rings true for whoever listens, and that we can all finally put our focus and energy into what we *want to create*, instead of what we "wish were different".

Some people might scoff and roll their eyes at the world of "energetics" and the metaphysical, but as someone who used to hate her very existence and wanted to gouge her eyes out because she COULD NOT STAND to succumb to the mind-numbing, soul-sucking trap of a "life" we've collectively cultivated as a society, I *know* that what so many have been living isn't all there is.

This place, this existence, really was supposed to be nirvana. But we, as silly humans do, have gone and mucked things up... but if we can muck 'em up, we can also be the catalyst for radical change.

2020 most certainly ignited a collective “dark night of the soul”. Having been through many of these myself (2017-2019), we revisit this topic in today’s episode 🙏🏼 My hope is that, wherever you are, whatever’s happening in your life right now, you’ll find solace and comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone in this, and that you are *exactly* where you need to be... even if it reeeeally doesn’t feel like it right now 😣

“I welcome these many ‘mini deaths’, for I know the path they’re leading me down is the journey home to my very essence... that of my soul”. —excerpt from my 2019 journal

In today's episode, I’m sharing my biggest takeaway from this insanely beautiful and unique year (yes, I did just call 2020 beautiful 😱) as well as *why* I’m so thankful and grateful for a year like this one.

This year showed me that, all along, I’ve been misinterpreting “my next level” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Honestly, I think many of us have. When you’re so entrenched in a masculine-rooted society, it’s so easy to misconstrue what’s actually aligned and right *for you*. And that’s the key right there. When you take away all the noise, the distractions, the “shoulds”, the hustle, the grind, the “doing”… you’re left with *space*. Lots and lots of space.

And it’s in this space that I’ve finally learned who I truly am and what actually matters to me. This space has given me the courage to “show up” in an entirely new way—and I hope it inspires you to do the same 🙏🏽

In today's episode, we're talking about human-made constructs... because YES, everything in our current reality is something that was once just a THOUGHT by another human...

including *jobs* 🧟 (yes, that is a zombie emoji and my putting it here is intentional).

This is probably one of my *favorite* episodes because we somehow manage to zoom in and out simultaneously to see the bigger picture and realize that *we*, as a society, as a collective, have created everything we're currently living 🤯 Which also means we can change, update, amend, and adjust our creations at any time (yes, PLEASE. about damn time!) So why not start with the thing that we're all so heavily focused on 5 days out of the week, 8 hours a day? The J-O-B. What a silly thing we humans have created 😂

With the upcoming 12/21 portal, this is such an opportune time to take the little nuggets of wisdom in this particular episode and apply them to your own life. Grab a journal, my friends, because we're going deep (yet again 😅)

PROOF IS AN ILLUSION 🤯

I have to say, it felt so good to record a podcast episode after a month off—and I’m not gonna lie... I’m a bit feisty in this one

This year certainly hasn’t been short of lessons, challenges, and catalysts for growth. Something I noticed coming up quite often this year is “proving myself”. So, in today’s episode, I’m dismantling what PROOF actually is—and why it’s actually an illusion 🏼

Y’all know that I’m definitely someone who thinks outside of the box, and this episode is certainly no exception I hope that after you listen to it, you no longer feel the need to prove *anything* to *anyone* because it’s entirely unnecessary and something that the human condition has fabricated to keep us in an endless loop of “never enough”.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the trap of “why am I feeling this way”, “I don’t like this feeling”, “when will it go away”—especially in such a tumultuous year. ⁣Exhibit A: 2020 😣⁣

⁣

But the more uncomfortable feelings that pop up, the more I’m discovering that there’s a big difference between what is “natural” and what is “preferred”. ⁣

⁣

Here’s what I’ve discovered. Every single time a feeling hits, whatever that feeling is... is completely natural. But *because* you have something to compare it to—a “preferred” feeling, let’s say—you dismiss the state you’re currently in—or worse, you label it as wrong or bad.⁣

⁣

There is no “one right way” to be, do, or feel ALL the time. The more we allow ourselves space and compassion to feel what we’re feeling without trying to figure it out or slap some justification onto it, the more we open up to the full range of the human experience. Because, in reality, that’s what we’re really here for—the experience.⁣

⁣

After tapping into the collective energy yesterday (and this morning), I felt a great sense of heaviness and unease. It was so, *so* dense and I had to make a conscious effort (somewhat forcefully) to pull myself out of it. If you’re an empath, like me, I’m sure you’ve experienced this a time or two.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

All this to say, I asked my light guides to use me as a vessel. To use my voice and my platform to share the message that is most needed and that would serve the most people right now. I can honestly say I have no recollection of recording these words, strung together in this way, because when I listened to it back, it was entirely unfamiliar and yet the EXACT thing I, myself, needed to hear 🙏🏼⁣⁣

⁣⁣

This episode is like a warm hug for your soul 🤗 At least, that’s how it felt for me. I hope it provides a sense of relief, even if it’s minor, a smile here or there, and above all, I hope it encourages you to take a deep breath and keep going. After all, we’re in this together 🌍⁣⁣
