In this episode, I am joined by Karee Moore, psychic medium intuitive, to discuss the topic of "A deeper Understanding".

*added: Trigger warning: this podcast discusses miscarriages and loss, and new different perspectives. If this is triggering for you, please feel free to skip this episode.

Karee shares what it was like as a child with psychic abilities and shares how she connects to a higher frequency dimension, which is far more knowing than our five senses! She shared how she learned to Know and Let Go and teaches how knowing and letting go can empower individuals to manifest their desires.

Karrie teaches mothers how to encourage their children to listen to their inner intuition. She discusses the importance of creating positive energy in the home and how it can impact the overall well-being of the family. She also shares her insights on motherhood and the lessons it has taught her, emphasizing the value of gratitude.

Karee explores the connection between religion, science, and consciousness, highlighting the need for personal exploration and understanding. Karee discusses embracing change and overcoming fear, the power of awakening and remembering, the mediumship experience, connecting with spirits, the process of channeling, using remote viewing to solve mysteries, and her future plans of starting a podcast and helping others.

We discuss how babies can sense spirits and how babycams have caught visitors, such as this one: https://youtu.be/gp2WLTvYq-Y?si=ctmJ_UYI-nGPy-k0

Karee's desire is to enlighten people, and to share we can all have the abilities far beyond what we are told, and the best thing is to Know and Let Go! Her future podcast will be called "Silent Sleuths!"

Summary

In this episode, Katie Elise (a mom of twin boys, and a military wife) joins me to share her journey of motherhood and how she has learned to thrive while surviving challenging circumstances. She challenges the notion that we can only thrive when all conditions are perfect, that is not her experience (nor mine!)
Katie discusses her experience with one of her sons' congenital heart defect and subsequent open-heart surgeries (and all that comes with that).
Katie also shares the importance of advocating for children, especially after an autism diagnosis for her boys. She discusses the model of neurodiversity where a range of differences is viewed as part of the natural human variation.

Katie also talks about the goals of her podcast Thriving While Surviving, which is to create a community for moms with medical needs and neurodivergent children.

She emphasizes the significance of community support, and self-care practices for staying grounded in the present moment.

Takeaways

Motherhood can be challenging, but it is possible to thrive while surviving tough circumstances.

• Advocacy is crucial for children with medical and special needs.
• Understanding and embracing neurodivergence can help celebrate and affirm the unique traits of individuals.
• Building a supportive community and practicing self-care are essential for mothers.
