Welcome Mandy and Allison!

Thank you!

Thank you for having us!

Yay!

I love exchanging podcasts,

And just to say right up front,

You guys,

I was on their podcast,

Soul Star,

And go check out that episode if you have not listened to it yet.

So my first question that I ask everyone is,

What does enlightenment mean to you?

So Mandy,

You're up first.

I should have been prepared for this question,

But so to me,

Enlightenment,

It feels like it's kind of this broader consciousness,

Awakening your consciousness and having the ability to stand in empowerment without having reaction.

I don't know.

Does that make sense?

I'm always interested to hear what people say.

It's always different.

Someday I'm going to make a compilation.

Yeah,

I feel like enlightenment is a perspective in a sense,

Like the way that you perceive the world and everybody is at a different spot or a space in that.

And so I think if you feel enlightened,

I would sense that you have this ability to see the world from this higher perspective.

Follow that,

Allison.

Totally agree with the perspective.

Allison,

What does enlightenment mean to you?

I know,

You see where she's like,

Follow that one,

Because it's exactly that.

It's the perspective shift,

This enlightenment.

I know exactly going down the spiritual journey that what has shifted in me during this awakening,

Enlightenment,

Is my perspective on life,

On my reality,

Everything around me.

And even just how I process and feel about things has completely shifted to this bigger picture,

Right?

This bigger picture,

This bigger awareness.

We always talk about zooming out and seeing the full picture and perspective of something.

It can really change how you feel and how you approach things in life.

So it is empowering.

And there's a sense of freedom,

I find,

That comes with that,

Right?

Yes,

Absolutely.

And for me,

It also involved stepping outside of yourself,

Almost like a disassociative process.

It's that ego death process where all of a sudden you see that thousand-foot view and you realize the illusion of you and the reality of the universe.

And it kind of blows your mind and you can never see things that way again,

Ever.

Once you see and understand,

You can't not see it again.

You know what?

It's life-changing.

And it's becoming the observer,

In a sense.

Yes.

Yeah.

I like the disassociation,

That description of it.

Because not that we want to live in being disassociated from ourselves,

But it's that ability to be able to,

In that sense,

Disassociate so we can actually just observe it and see it.

And I love doing that.

Mandy knows that.

I love doing that.

I'll sit there and be like,

OK,

I'm going to observe it from this perspective and then this perspective and then that perspective.

And then it gives you that holistic view of everybody is feeling,

Right?

Yes.

And it gives you the opportunity to zap yourself out of all of those routines and trapment thoughts and cycles and preconceived notions about yourself,

Your life,

Your patterns,

Your roles.

And makes you realize,

Oh,

I'm not me as conceived previously.

I don't have to do what I thought I had to do.

I don't have to be the way I thought I have to be.

Because you get a little bit more of a timeless sense of who you are.

Yeah.

Beautiful.

I love that.

And that perspective,

Right?

And understanding that timeless,

You're an infinite soul living this human incarnation,

And it's one of infinite amount of lifetimes.

So when we can kind of get so stuck in and buried down by some of the density in the world or in our life,

That's such a great way to snap out of it,

To be OK.

This is just a blippet of my infinite amount of lives.

So that perspective shift.

Yeah.

Now,

It sounds like both of you have possibly had similar journeys,

Or at least you ended up in the same place.

So I want to hear the separation there,

How they were different from each of you.

So who would like to go first telling how you got to where you are,

Your spiritual story?

Mandy can go because it kind of started there first.

OK.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I would say my awakening started a little bit earlier than Allison.

And then I sort of like linked arms with her and drug her into it at some point down the road.

But mine started with corporate burnout.

So Ali and I still both work in the financial industry in our day jobs.

And we,

You know,

We work with the same company.

This is how we know each other.

It was probably about 2017,

2018,

Where I started.

I was in a really high stress job.

I put a lot of pressure on myself.

It was a very fast paced role.

My kids were young.

It was just overwhelming.

Life was overwhelming.

And I'm very much a high achiever.

So always pushing the bar and never achieving,

Like never allowing myself to achieve the goal because I've already pushed it past where it was.

So it was just burnout.

And so I had,

I started asking those big questions and like,

God,

There's got to be more to life than just this,

Like working for this,

This corporation and earning them millions of dollars and driving my kids to their sports and not feel like,

Why aren't I happy?

I have a great income.

So it's just like those questions.

And so I started to really do some reflection.

And so I started with meditation and it sort of just escalated from there.

Well,

A little bit earlier,

Allie,

You can share your story about how you started awakening.

Oh,

Like right now?

Yeah,

Go for it.

So,

Yeah.

So I think for me,

It was always like,

I always been open to spirituality,

To psychics.

There's always a curiosity there.

So there was never not a belief in this type of world,

Like seeing it from this side.

But what made me go down this road was,

I think it's like,

It was little droplets.

Like I found like,

It was like these little things.

It wasn't like Mandy with the corporate burnout.

It was kind of these moments that were making me go,

Okay,

Wait a minute.

Like something beyond me is orchestrating this.

And I could clearly see it.

And I wanted to know more.

I had a son.

One of my youngest was seeing spirits at some point.

And I remember thinking,

Okay,

As your mom,

I believe you.

And now you need to show yourself to me because I want to be there for him and to support him with this.

So it was a little droplet that was kind of like,

Okay,

Like what can I do?

And then I had just stuff within the universe.

Switched jobs,

Locations.

And I ended up meeting somebody that kind of made me,

All the synchronicities kind of made me go,

Okay,

What the heck is going on?

This,

Something's beyond all of this.

And that kind of just catapulted into 2020 when Mandy and I ended up coming back together.

Reconnecting.

Because we kind of worked in the same corporation and office,

Disconnected.

Then we came back.

And then that's when it just went like.

As you know,

When you start awakening,

There's this sense of fear to share what you're interested in,

Especially back in 20,

It was only five years ago,

But still things have changed so much since then.

But I was very much in the spiritual closet and my husband didn't even know I was interested in learning about energy or Reiki or talking to mediums or psychics or anything like that.

And then Allie came across my path and I just mentioned something and she was like,

What?

Tell me more.

And so as soon as we had that reconnection,

I was like telling her everything and she was like absorbing it all.

And then from that point on,

We went on our journey together and we started developing our intuition together because everybody is intuitive.

Everybody can read the Akashic records.

It's their sole right to be able to access their Akashic records.

Everybody can read energy.

Everybody can connect to past loved ones,

To their spirit guides,

To ascended masters.

We just learned to work with mentors and teachers together to do all of the stuff that we now teach others how to do.

It was so transformational and so healing.

Yeah.

I love that.

I love that you guys reconnected and went on your journey together.

It's so great to have somebody to share that with because those journeys can sometimes be so isolating,

Especially when you're questioning your own self and your rock bottom is just crumbling below you.

It almost puts most people in what they call the dark night of the soul where you're just,

I don't know what is happening and you really start to question everything.

And so it takes a lot of courage either way to come out on the other side.

Yeah,

There's so many layers,

Right?

Yeah,

It starts and then it becomes this domino effect and there's all these synchronicities and there's all these things and people are just falling in your lap and then it's like another layer happens and then another layer happens.

And for me,

It was really dreams.

I talked about that on your podcast because for me,

That's what opened the door.

Not that the door was completely closed anyway because I was always highly in tune ever as a child,

But it really brought it back into my adulthood and allowed me to access things that I had completely shut off and forgotten about.

And that's what was hard for us too.

We both feel so blessed to have each other through this journey because,

I mean,

Allie's been there to support me probably through two or three existential crises like ego death and me for her as well.

It's been very nice to have that support and that sort of stuff.

But also,

We quickly realized when we started learning how to read energy and how to develop our intuition that there is this healing aspect to it.

And they don't tell you about that when you first start working with your intuition.

So that's partly why we created what we do is because it's important to have somebody hold space for you through that journey because the healing part of it can be very lonely if you don't have somebody to discuss it with.

Yeah.

And it's part of the reason that I started the podcast because when I did,

All of a sudden,

I had this wonderful community of women who all knew what I was talking about,

That all had their own healing modality.

We could all walk together.

Yeah.

And that's huge.

Having your community,

Like having that time,

We have,

We created a space like we noticed after teaching and we would have people go through our program to develop their intuition.

And then they would get out at the other end and they're like,

Well,

I don't want to let this go.

This is the only time that I am connected and being able to talk freely.

Mandy and I,

We were very lucky to have each other.

And I think recognizing like,

Okay,

Wait a minute.

If we didn't have each other,

Oh my gosh,

It would have been so lonely.

There were so many shifts.

Even when I was going through my transition of being married and going through a separation with my husband,

I had my family and I had friends that I could talk to about aspects of that,

About the 3D aspects.

But Mandy was who I talked to about the whole,

It was the whole picture.

Even my counselor,

I wouldn't go and talk about the whole picture.

But Mandy,

I could sit there and say everything from that spiritual side,

Because that was very much a part of that whole journey and not being able to bounce that off of somebody who fully understands.

I would have felt so lonely in that sense.

And so we created a space for students to continue to practice and meet every week for that community.

It's literally for that because that's when they say,

I love coming here because now we can just literally,

Sometimes our conversations are crazy.

We had somebody outside of the spiritual,

They heard us talking.

They'd be like,

Wow,

Okay.

Yes.

Right?

I know.

Yeah.

It requires a suspension of disbelief,

Essentially.

And either you are ready for that or you're not.

And in the beginning,

I was kind of disappointed that everybody wasn't.

Right.

Because I still feel that way sometimes.

Because I was.

But it took a lot of time for me to understand that everybody is at a different place in their incarnation and in their journey and that they're not supposed to know everything.

And then you may be at the point where you are supposed to know.

And there's reasons for that.

There's reasons that people are pushed into the spotlight because the last thing I was going to do was,

Number one,

Be on social media.

Number two,

Be on video.

I was not going to do any of that.

And I had to overcome some huge barriers that said,

No,

No,

No,

You're not doing that.

That's not you.

You're not doing that.

Yeah.

That's terrifying for an introvert,

For someone who's very private.

How do you do that?

But that was kind of part of the package was like,

No,

You're going to do this.

Yeah.

And I feel the same.

I know for me,

That was a really hard obstacle to get past.

I remember when we were doing our training and we were with a group of other students and I would hear people be like,

Oh,

My Instagram is this.

And I felt like an imposter because I was like,

What?

I don't have any Instagram.

There's no way I am going to show my face and talk about this to anybody.

And so I was like,

Why am I even here developing this?

And I remember finally coming out,

Somebody had said,

Why don't you open up an incognito,

Like an alias one?

And I was like,

OK,

That's a great idea so that I could have that sense of sharing what I was feeling,

But not have my face or name attached to it.

And that's how I started.

And when Mandy approached to do this,

The podcast,

I remember having this like,

Yeah,

I'll do it.

And then afterwards,

I was like,

What's that?

I'm like,

What?

What did you just do?

Oh,

My gosh,

You're putting yourself out there to be ridiculed.

And it was just like,

So I completely resonate and relate to that,

That how can you go from that part to then now I look at it and I'm like,

My gosh,

I don't even think about my face being on there or recording a video like I never would have thought from point A to where I am now.

And I bet that's the same for you,

Where it's kind of like that would have been like,

Oh,

No,

That's not happening.

Wow.

Absolutely.

And I think that that was part of what I felt called to do.

And so I had to follow that call and to fulfill that duty,

Which is what it felt like.

I had to set myself aside and say,

OK,

I'm not going to worry about my hair.

I'm not going to worry about my voice.

I'm not going to worry about any of this.

And I'm going to make this platform for other women to be have their voices be heard,

To have my voice and my experience be valid so that everyone else can be the fly on the wall that needs that support.

Yeah.

That's the whole thing about a spiritual awakening or a journey.

The main thread throughout the whole thing is courage and vulnerability.

Yes.

Having the courage and being vulnerable enough even just to admit to yourself some of the things that are coming up,

Because the shadow work and the healing that comes up this with journey is,

Well,

It can be hard,

But it's also worth it.

This journey is not easy,

But it's also fun.

That's right.

It's validating when other people can relate and it resonates and it inspires them.

That's when you go,

Yes,

It is OK.

This is why I'm doing this.

Don't look back.

Don't question yourself.

Totally.

I know sometimes we'll say it's not for the faint of heart.

It's not easy.

And then sometimes I'm like,

Oh,

Man,

It's like we're convincing people,

Like,

Don't do it.

Run.

But it's like,

You know,

I think all of us,

I know for myself,

Like if I had to choose between walking this path or not,

I would choose walking this path over and over and over again,

Even with the challenges that came,

Because those challenges that came is bringing me back to my authentic self.

And that's hard,

But it's but it's also so fulfilling to start coming back to yourself.

Yes.

It's the aligned way to be.

It's the courageous way to be.

It's just the most difficult thing to own.

Right.

And when that happened,

Kind of simultaneously at the same time,

I decided,

OK,

I'm going to step into my authorship.

And that was equally it was like the same journey I had to go on.

Well,

I'm basically bleeding on the page.

I'm basically opening my journal.

I'm basically saying my deepest,

Darkest thoughts,

Even if they're in a fictional character and putting it out there for the whole world to say,

I don't get it or I love it.

Oh,

My gosh.

What's your creativity,

Right?

That's the thing.

You are putting your creativity on that paper.

And when there's something that you've created,

It holds a special place in your heart.

It's part of your soul.

It is.

It's part.

And when it holds that much of a special place in your heart,

That opens it up to to being criticized.

And that's that's hard.

Any type of creativity to be judged.

That's a really hard thing to put out there.

Yes.

Yeah.

But then to also just have even one person when the first person said so many parts of this resonated with me so much that I want to put it all over my walls.

And I've never read a book that hit me this way.

I just cried.

I'm like,

That's why I did it.

I love that.

Yeah.

So scary as it was,

It was like,

But that was what you did it for.

That was the reward.

Yeah.

And I've heard other people say,

If you feel that you have a book to write,

It's because there is a reader out there just waiting for someone to write that book.

And so you basically have to let it come through you so it can get to that other person and get out of the way.

Did you know that your books exist within the Akashic Records?

I love that.

They already exist.

So if you can access your Akashic Records,

You can access your book.

We actually had a student who was writing a book and she was going to this book writers intensive and I was like,

Open your Akashic Records,

Sit in the energy of the records and let it channel through you.

And her feedback was like,

Oh my God,

It was just amazing.

And it just flowed.

It was just like a beautiful experience for her.

And that's why we teach this type of work is because it can be it can be transformational on so many different levels.

So,

Yeah,

It's just fun stuff,

Right?

Yeah,

That makes sense,

Too.

Because when you write something,

Many encounter resistance because you're stopping yourself,

You're questioning,

Right?

But once you write it and it's done,

You're kind of like,

Well,

Of course.

Yeah.

And it's almost like you already know what it's going to be,

But your 3D self is hemming and hawing about it and keeping you from getting it done.

Right?

Yeah.

So the ego getting in the way,

Trying to protect you from all of that.

And so when you can get that ego out of the way,

Then it just flows.

It's birthed.

I love that.

I want to hear about galactic healings.

So they're so fun.

Do you want to talk about them,

Ellie?

Yeah,

Yeah.

Mandy,

You're so good at this,

But because you like to bring in all the beings.

But one of the things that we go in and we do healing,

So energetic healing,

So very much like Reiki,

Right?

So Reiki is working with the energy.

And so when we go in to do these healings,

We sometimes are visited or we call upon different galactic beings to come and assist.

So many times you'll be in there and working with somebody's energetic.

So again,

This is all in the astral realm and you're working with their energetic body.

And then all of a sudden you'll just like,

There'll be a Nocturian standing there,

Or you'll have like a bunch of beings or an Ascended Master join.

And it's funny.

We like to joke because sometimes you kind of take a step back and you're witnessing it.

You're just watching.

Yeah.

So you kind of see a bit of like,

I'm like,

Okay,

Like,

This is,

Should want me to do something?

And it's like,

Nope.

And then you're like,

Okay.

So then you see these beings working with the energy.

And typically that's when that person's soul is really connected to that species or that group of beings that then they will come in.

Mandy,

I know has worked a lot with the healings with Nocturians.

And when she has done healings,

Because I have been a recipient of it,

I get super cold.

You need to put a little thing like,

Bring your blankie,

Bring your Snuggie when you have,

Because the channeling of the energy and working with them,

Like I would just get so cold when she would do that.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I don't get cold.

Yeah.

No,

I don't get cold.

I just spread the cold.

I'm just spreading it.

I don't know.

I know.

Mandy and I've done like group healings where we do it together.

And we've done that for students in the past.

And,

You know,

We've been in there and been like,

Oh,

My gosh,

Did you see all of the beings that showed up?

I'm going to forget.

Merlin.

All of these different beings and for different purposes that they've shown up to help work with the energy.

And it's really fascinating.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's really fascinating.

I love hearing about that.

And I love the concept of star seeds and all of the different lineages and come to find out that I'm like a hodgepodge of so many.

Right.

Because we've all lived before,

But some more than others.

Yeah.

And so there's so many things that make sense once you start to figure out the connections that you have.

And also there's little,

Should I say,

Feelers that help us find each other.

Oh,

Absolutely.

So just certain things where I have this one purple galaxy image that I always like to use and I'm always attracted to these purple galaxies.

And then I see other people with the purple galaxy.

I'm like,

You're my people.

You're my people.

So there's just there's just little things.

But it's interesting,

The paths that I cross and all the different people who maybe associate with one.

But over time,

I'm intersecting with all the different ones.

And I really actually intended to put in my third novel because Hannah is going to find out she's a starseed.

Oh,

I love that.

That's so fun.

It's like,

Because we all are,

We all are from,

We're made of like that's the concept is that humanity is made from the different genetics of these different beings.

And one of the things in our alumni space,

But when I was saying we do practice every this month,

We're actually doing starseed and everybody's going in.

And last week,

It was the Pleiadians that they all went in to learn about the Pleiadians to see how they work with the Pleiadians and all of that.

And during the discussion,

I was explaining that,

Yes,

Some of us are going to have stronger ties with maybe a certain race of galactic beings.

And some of us,

I like to call it the nomads,

The nomads that have dibbled and dabbled in every single,

So when you say all over,

It's like kind of that nomad where you experienced a bunch of different galactic beings and been that energy.

My spirit guide is a Pleiadian being.

And I remember when I first was connecting to my spirit guide and I loosely knew about Pleiadians,

All of these was all like,

What is this even real at that stage in the awakening.

And I remember that came to me and I just,

I was like,

No way.

So questioning my intuition.

And then I was like,

Alison,

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Don't be pompous that,

Oh yeah,

You have a Pleiadian being.

When your teacher and everything you'd learned so far didn't talk about the aliens,

Didn't talk about these galactic beings.

And then I went to,

Maddie and I had a local trusted psychic we'd gone to for years.

And I remember I went to her for a reading.

We never talked about this stuff.

It was just a in the dark girl going to get her psychic reading.

And but this time I kind of said,

I'm opening up to this.

And I think I met my spirit guide.

And she all of a sudden looks and she goes,

Oh,

He's right here.

He's a Pleiadian.

I gasped.

I,

It was like,

I was just like taken back.

It just validated what I,

You know,

Saw or felt.

And I was just like,

Oh,

My gosh,

This is this is crazy.

When it kind of just solidified all of that.

Like,

It's so fascinating.

I love it.

I love it.

Yes.

Yeah.

So whenever like kids,

Oh,

I believe in aliens and all these things become like a,

You know,

A thing.

And I'm like,

Oh,

Man,

I would never be scared if they came into our atmosphere,

Be like,

Hey,

Sam,

Right.

Like,

Are they here yet?

Are they here?

I got a roast on coming for dinner.

I know,

Like they're our family.

They're not here to hurt us.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's so cool.

I know.

That's great.

Yeah.

Yes.

It has been so fun talking with you both today.

And I really appreciate you coming on and sharing your stories and everything that you do out in the world.

And just for being you,

Being authentic and sharing your enlightenment story.

Thank you for having us.

It was a pleasure.
