Step Out of the Known

Recently, I did a thing....something I've never done and never really had the desire to do.

I did a PODCAST!!! EEK!

My friend, Jessie, recently started The Artemis Awakening podcast and she invited me to come on and be a guest in one of her future episodes. Truthfully, we've been talking about this for years and I always said "yeah, yeah, absolutely" with no real intention of it actually happening! Then, a week or so ago, the text came. Asking me to be on the show. Put up or shut up time, Cassie.

So, we did it. And truthfully I hardly remember what we talked about. This frequently happens when I do any type of public speaking....I just go to another place and afterwards have very little memory of it. I'm sure this is a self-protection mechanism but I've been like this for as long as I remember.

What I do remember is being nervous about what we were going to discuss. Reiki. Chakras. Even though I love, love, love these two topics I am by no means an EXPERT. But I love Reiki. I am obsessed with Chakras. And I forgot just how much I love to tell others about it. Never mind, a friend. I was worried we wouldn't be able to fill up an hour but 90 minutes later, we had to end the chat so she could go pick up her son. Yep, I could have kept going. And going. And going.

IT. WAS. AWESOME.

I got lost in the discussion. I got lost in my passion and my desires and my hopes. I lost all sense of time and just flowed with whatever needed to be said. I gave voice to the inner, deeper, part of myself that only comes out when I'm teaching Reiki to my students.

The best part was that Jessie said she felt like she had just been to a much needed therapy session...in a good way! I'm sure we all know what a really good therapy session feels like. Yeah, it was like that. To me, it felt like a deep exhale. A letting go. Letting loose. Being in my element even though I had forgotten it was my element.

So the lesson in this....do the damn thing. Show up. Take a risk. Shine your fucking light. Don't shy away from sharing yourself, your passions, your dreams with others. I believe we all become infinitely more magnetic when our outer self aligns with our inner self.

And yes, I'll share the link to the podcast as soon as it's up. Well....as soon as I've listened to it and agree that I don't sound like an idiot! ;)
