A Special Live Intuitive Reading Q&A Session #2: Exploring Life, Death, and the Unknown

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:00:00 -0400

In this special episode of the Intuitive Insights Podcast with Kim Beam, we dive deep into some of the most thought-provoking questions submitted during my Live Intuitive Reading sessions. These are the questions many of us hold quietly in our hearts but rarely get to voice out loud. Together, we’ll explore:

✉️ Will I stay the same, or am I meant to change?
✉️ Are earthquakes good or bad?
✉️ How successful will my family be?
✉️ Are we really alone in the universe?
✉️ How much longer do I have to live? Do I still have a lot of time left?

Through these powerful and vulnerable questions, I’ll share intuitive guidance, spiritual perspectives, and gentle insights to help us reflect on life, purpose, and the mysteries of existence.

Whether you’re seeking reassurance, curiosity, or a deeper sense of connection, this episode invites you to sit with the unknown and trust in the wisdom that unfolds.

Breaking Into a New Career Opportunity - Ep #7

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0500

Camille is looking for guidance to see if she is on the right path. She is looking to break into something new from what she is currently doing.

Since she isn’t doing it now, some may see her as unqualified. Camille needs to figure out how to present herself in the way she wants to be seen. It can look like a little out of the box networking. It may be Camille calling in to set an appointment with HR directors with ways she can support them. Once she lands the meeting, she may shift the conversation a little with focus on what she really wants to do.

Going out and landing the appointments or conversations can be the trickiest part since you never know how the person is going to respond. Some people see a no as a no while others see a no as a not yet.

I challenge anyone listening to hear the no as a not yet. It gives you an opportunity to circle back and follow up. Use mediation to bring down the walls that you are running into.

Kaity joins today with questions regarding navigating her own family relationships and breaking generational curses. She feels like the black sheep of her family. Kaity loves her family but wants to do things differently.

I see that Kaity has already been doing the work and can tell that she feels stuck on what to do next. She feels so much like her family, but so different all at the same time. I ask her the tough question “What is one thing that you would like to see change?”

We come up with strategies as she works through her own trauma as she parents her own two year old. There are going to be times that Kaity when parenting is going to have conversations with ‘little Kaity’ when things arise with the 2 year old. Talking and listening to ‘little Kaity’ is going to help her heal and break through the barriers.

Kaity needs to find ways to tap into her creativity. Her gifts and talents are worthy of being seen. Kaity has the ability to throw things together, but she just doesn’t know how.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0500

Jane joins me today with a question regarding her long term relationship status. She is a person that leads with her heart and feels a little overwhelmed by the options she has in her dating life.

I see two main suitors that come up: Intense and Squirley. Both suitors have good hearts. Intense brings out worries from the past but what I see is this person is very much different than those from the past. Intense is going to really try to understand Jane and woo her. He is also a workaholic. What happens when he retires to the relationship?

Squirrely isn’t going to know how to woo and love Jane in the way that she wants and needs. He also has a lot going on in his own personal life. Squirrely doesn’t know how to sit still.

Jane is in the space where she is a few years away from being an empty nester. She needs time to evaluate their personalities and figure out what is going to work best for her life moving forward. Jane’s person may not even be one of these two suitors.

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0500

Kayla joins me today with a question regarding expanding her business. She has gone through pros and cons about whether she should expand the business or not. Depending on the day her decision of how she feels changes from yes to no.

With Kayla going back and forth with her decision, the conversation opens up into trusting your own intuition. What can saying yes to the opportunity bring to your life? Is your decision not to do something fear driven? Is the decision not to make the move because there is something else better coming down the line?

Tina Fey says “Say yes and figure out the rest later.” Saying yes can lead to so much joy and opportunities, but can also open you up for the chance of failure. I remind Kayla to remember that this isn’t her first business. She has the ability to bring her ideas and successes into a new location.

Understanding that no matter what decision you make you have the ability to shift, change and adapt.

Today, I welcome Jeremy Nagel to the show. He is a neurodivergent software developer turned startup founder. His new startup, Focus Bear, is a productivity and work-life balance app for people with ADHD.

We discuss strategies neurodivergent people (ADHD, ASD, dyslexia etc.) can use to improve their mental and physical health as well as their performance at work.

Jeremy has come to accept his own neurospicyness (ADHD + ASD). As a result, he is leaning more into his strengths and not beating himself up for struggling with some things other people find easy.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Cassandra Shuck - Ep #42

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Show Notes:

Today I welcome our guest Cassandra Shuck. She is a Shamanic healer, serial entrepreneur and one of the cofounders of Aligned Social, a brand new social media platform.

Cassandra is a woman who finds her people when and where it is supposed to happen. About a year and a half ago Cassandra and I met about a year and half ago at a silent retreat. We broke the silence of the retreat by pulling tarot cards and getting to know one another.

Connection is a big driving factor for Cassandra of why to redefine social media with Aligned Social. We have, as a society, have forgotten how to connect with people on a deeper level. People as a whole are so much more similar than different.

Cassandra, and team, have been working on Aligned Social for over 3 years now. They recreated everything with the user of the app in mind. Aligned Social is currently on track to open up for users in January 2024. As a beta tester of Aligned Social,I can tell you that it has a different energy to it versus other platforms. I strongly urge you to get on the waitlist now.

Corset - Ep #30

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today’s episode came to me while putting on a corset. The corset that I was trying on was a size too small, but I still was determined to make it fit.

It made me think back to the women in history who would wear these daily. No wonder why they would faint, their organs were getting moved around and it is difficult to breathe.

Not being able to breathe while in this corset also brought me back to my dad’s last days on this earth. His lungs and heart only worked at 30% of their capacity. I had always wanted to make a device that would allow caregivers the opportunity to experience what someone like my dad had to go through. I think we are onto something with this corset.

Sex - Ep #29

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today I am talking about sex. Sex and love aren’t the same thing at all.

It has been studied that children of divorced families have a higher likelihood of being victims of sexual abuse. There is also a thing called the sleeper effect where young girls get to be a certain age and then they become more sexually promiscuous and exploratory vs girls from a steady home. I had experienced both which made my relationship with sexual drive complicated.

Recently, I learned one of the things in my human design that makes me uniquely me is that my creativity and sexuality are very much linked together. For years, I was cutting off the flow to be the better version of myself.

Tune in this week for the journey of this complicated relationship. Remember to be smart, safe and to always protect yourself.

On Reading - Episode #27

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

No matter what I am reading I will find ways to connect it to my life. Even romance novels have me thinking about my own patterns, my own choices and where I am going and where I want to be.

There are times that I have friends and family recommend books for me to read, but I just cannot get into them at the moment. It is about the timing of when the book is presented and what is going on in my life.

Reading for me is like breathing. I’ve been doing some soul searching on what I have been reading and why. It’s okay if you don’t do a lot of reading; you can relate it to what you are watching on TV.

Automatic Writing - Ep #26

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show notes:

Today’s episode I am going to help you understand automatic writing in a way that makes sense. I have been studying and practicing my skill in automatic writing for years. Automatic writing is a connection between you and your highest self.

A lot of people will tell you that you have to do automatic writing first thing in the morning when you are not fully awake. I have found that it can be done at any time, however for me morning is best to make sure that I make time for the practice. I use meditation to start automatic writing.

Listen in today to get some tips to start your automatic writing journey. Don’t forget to check out my course Manifesting through Meditation. The course has a meditation that will help you get into the vortex before you start automatic writing.

Intuition - Ep #25

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today, I open up and am vulnerable about my history with intuition.

For me intuition is a gut sense of knowing in my head and heart of knowing what direction to head in. I was introduced to the Holy Spirit by my friend Camy’s mom via a book she gave me. Cami’s mom talked to me about allowing to open and allow the Holy Spirit to talk to me.

I started hearing Spirit repeatedly. I would trust and follow what it would say to me. Then I started to feel like what it was telling me was not what I wanted. I started to feel like I wasn’t hearing things correctly. I decided I was done hearing from spirit.

I moved and got into farming. I found a new church and was taken under the wing of a church member there. He saw the Spirit on me and helped me relearn to trust in what I was hearing. I ended up getting really sick with cancer and then got better. I changed my life direction going back to school for my graduate degree.

During graduate school, my relationship with God changed. I found meditation as a sense of calming for me. I missed walking in intuition. There’s a part of me that liked being able to hear from spirit for people who need guidance and help finding their way. I just found spirit in a different way.

I bought a set of tarot cards. I didn’t necessarily need the tarot deck to hear because I had been walking in spirit since 2001. We are all energy. You just need to know how to tap into it.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Swim Part 2 - Ep#24

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes

Today, we are continuing our conversation with Swim. We had learned about where he is now and started to get into the path that led him there.

Swim has been on a journey with his mental health. After being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, he dove into the history of it and got all the information he could about it. Swim has a lot of resistance to his diagnoses because he believes that part of it comes from past traumas coming up and gaslighting. I remind Swim that he is who is and someone has put a label on him. We as people don’t always quite fit into the full spectrum of the label.

Through his research, he found about 80% that get diagnosed with borderline personality disorder have attempted or tried to complete suicide. He sees it as a retrospective diagnostic. A lot of our depression and disorders can only be really solved by dealing with the world. We need to be able to provide people with opportunities. People will be honest and talk about a situation that they feel that they cannot get out of, but only the doctor hears is the symptom which then gives them a label or prescription for that. That isn’t getting to the root cause of the problem.

Swim has created opportunities for himself. He has gone through therapy for himself. Swim believes that unless we do more to give people something to live for then we cannot be so rash that there are people that do not want to live. We have to be a little more caring about those aspects of people. There are so many ways to be able to start.

Looking forward to his future, Swim wants to continue his music and build his brand. He wants to teach philosophy to artists.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Swim Part 1 - Ep #23

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today’s episode is a two-part episode where I introduce you to our guest Swim. I
met Swim during his time in high school when I was a teacher.

Swim has been making music his entire life which led him into working towards his PhDcomparative literature.

Swim’s dissertation research is on black suicide. As Swim was first getting into Philosophy, he became interested in Albert Camus. “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.”- Albert Camus That quote always was in the back of Swim’s mind. Swim then began getting into activism in Baltimore. There he got introduced to Afropessimism. California, UCI specifically,
is where the founding theorist of Afropessimism started. Which is what
drove Swim to apply to a lot of California universities.

Swim opens up his own experience of gratuitous violence. He didn’t always feel
safe growing up. As a young child, he and his siblings walking to the bus
stop would have words and racial slurs screamed at them by a grown man.
Looking back now as an adult, it is insane to him to address a child in that
way. Swim experienced parents reluctantly allowed their children to play
with him because of his color.

All of his experiences and learnings have allowed him to express those feelings into
music. Music was an outlet for him. It helps with his mental
health. The lowest Swim felt in his life, music was the least present in
his life. Music has been a way of getting things out. It’s not
always logical.

Come back next week as we continue the conversation around mental health with Swim.

How to Handle Fear - Ep #22

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Fear is when you know you are terrified of doing something and then presented with the choice to do it or not. Today, we are diving into how you know when to make a decision that is right for you.

Sometimes when it comes to fear or something we are fearful of, we automatically choose not to do the thing. Our body and natural instinct is to protect ourselves from the potential of getting hurt, but what if you said yes. What opportunities could open for you if you decided to explore the uncomfortable situation?

When you're doing something and you know it's the direction you're supposed to be going and it lights you up and makes you excited, even if there is fear there's still a drive and there is peace and a sense, you're going the right way.

Just because you're afraid doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Just because you're afraid doesn't mean you should.

I cannot wait to help you on your journey overcoming your own fear with some of these tips in the episode.

Finding a Therapist - Ep #21

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes

Finding a therapist is really hard. During this podcast, I am going to share tips and stories to help ease your journey.

Finding the right therapist is very important. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find the right one. You are never obligated to stay. I ended up getting a recommendation from a friend which ended up being the right therapist for me.

Therapy session frequencies should vary based on what you need. It could be weekly, biweekly or monthly. I find that my need for sessions will vary based on what's going on in my life.

You want to find a therapist that believes in you. Someone has your highest good in mind and will not cut you down. Find a therapist that will also call you out on your nonsense because we still need that.

A Discussion on Women's Fashion - Ep #20

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes

In our society, women’s fashion is always at the forefront of conversation in the media.

It really frustrates me when I am reading or watching the news and they focus on what the person is wearing. I want to hear about what is going on, not the fashion.

The things that matter is not the clothing at all. The important information is what did they experience? What did they learn? What do they want to share?

Feeling good inside your skin and being true to who you are is the most important thing.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Frankie Part 2 - Ep #19

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today we continue the conversation with Frankie who last week began sharing the story of their transition with all the ups and downs of a young adult discovering their true self.

Frankie went on a guided meditation and got to experience looking at a future version of Frankie with no breast tissue. With both trusting their intuition and not feeling comfortable in the body that they were given, Frankie decided that surgery was the way to go. After the surgery, Frankie no longer felt body dysmorphia. Frankie’s mind and body were now in alignment. It was beautiful and freeing.

Deciding to have the surgery done is one thing, but the next is being able to afford the surgery. Most surgeries are not covered by insurance. The community that Frankie was in rallied behind them and helped Frankie raise the funds. Frankie was fortunate because not everyone has that community around them.

Finding your community is important and helpful for the support. Frankie was able to find that in the town they moved to after college but would have never had that opportunity during their teenage years due to that specific town. If you are in an area that you cannot get support in person, there are communities and organizations online to have that support.

Frankie’s dad was not supportive of the change. Frankie has a lot to say to their dad but hasn’t ever had the conversation. Frankie goes back and forth about writing a letter to their dad, but always decides not to because they aren’t ready. I bring up the idea of still writing the letter and then burning it to let those feelings and emotions go so that Frankie can release.

Frankie’s relationship with the church has changed, evolved and is still complicated. Frankie was hurt by the system and the people. Frankie is a more spiritual person now connected more to energy, the universe, and ancestors.

Frankie believes that there is a current, future and past version of ourselves. There is so much power in being able to talk with your past self after overcoming something big. It’s not an easy conversation, but you can start with “You deserved this and what you received wasn’t fair.”

Thank you, Frankie, for being brave and vulnerable to share your story with us.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Frankie Part 1 - Ep # 18

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today’s episode is a two-part episode where I introduce you to our guest Frankie. I met Frankie during their time in high school when I was a teacher.

Frankie, like many other young adults, spent a lot of time in high school trying to figure out who they are and the path they want to go on. Frankie and family moved to a new and small town. Frankie was brought up in a very Christian home. Their knowledge of relationships and how you should behave was very much guided through the Christian lifestyle. Making friends when you have moved into a smaller town later on is difficult.

Frankie had very short relationships in high school. It wasn't until Frankie’s junior/ senior year, Frankie had their first long term relationship. Frankie looked to her Christian upbringing about how relationships should look. Looking back after the relationship, Frankie realized that it wasn’t a healthy relationship.

Frankie joined an underground group at their Christian school to be an ally for queer people during their freshman year. Their sophomore year, something started to click that Frankie wasn’t just an ally. Frankie started to analyze their self and past relationships to figure out who they truly are. Frankie had to untangle past trauma from childhood expectations of relationships, understanding who they are interested in as just friends or who is more of a romantic relationship. Frankie was also trying to balance discovering who they are vs family expectations back at home.

Frankie learned quickly in the underground of a Christian college that the rules set in place weren’t for an all-inclusive student body. It was geared towards heterosexual relationships. Frankie learned ways to use those rules to their advantage. During Frankie’s last year of school, they were the most open they have been about themselves thus far and even openly walked around on campus holding hands in a non-heterosexual relationship.

Join us next week as we continue to hear Frankie share their story about the journey of discovering their true self and their community of people.

Kim's Body Image Transformation - Ep #17

Tue, 30 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

In April 2022, I started my body transformation. I began to envision myself as a healthy person. I signed up for a program called Wild Fit with two intentions. One reason was to be healthier and to make good decisions. The second reason was to fit into this beautiful dress that I bought that I just didn’t fit right. During this journey, it has been a rollercoaster. I have learned what food my body is able to digest. I have learned what I needed to give up that wasn’t serving me or my body. It wasn’t always easy, but most days I didn’t feel like I was missing out on any food.

I hadn’t gone shopping in a while and had lost a lot of weight. This past weekend under the direction of my nutritionist, I went to the mall to get new clothes. Most of my life I have been in large/ medium clothes. After visiting the store this past weekend, I am a size small. I am eating in such a way that my body is getting the nutrients that it needs from the food I am having. I am able to eat less food now than before.

I am working on becoming a new version of me. When you change how you look and how you feel on the inside, it is an identity shift. It’s an adjustment. I am working on accepting myself in my new definitions. There’s a brain shift of my own perception. I don’t care what the scale says. I want to feel good in my own skin.

In today’s episode, I am going to address how we numb ourselves from pain, emotions and overwhelm. This isn’t an easy topic to talk about for anyone. No one wants their substance of choice to be poked at.

Let's talk about sadness and anger. We can choose to use the coping mechanism to avoid it or we can dig deeper to find the root cause to help move through it. A coping mechanism could be alcohol, marijuana, eating the box of cookies ect.

Hurt and pain are telling us where we really are. A lot of us like to take that hurt and pain and shove it down. It’s really good to sit with the positive. It isn’t easy to sit in grief, hurt, sadness, anger ect.

When you go numb you are turning off all of the emotions, the joy and the sadness.

Recently, I had my own anger that I went through. I could have gone to the box of cookies, but I chose something different. I decided to meditate into the anger to discover what was the root cause of it. I have been doing this work for a while. It still doesn’t make it any easier. What I have found is that doing this allows my emotions to move through it quicker the more I practice. If I went for the box of cookies, I wouldn’t have acknowledged how I really feel. I wouldn’t have been able to discover as much as I did.

How do we find the courage to go deeper to look behind the curtain of negative emotion? This is how we grow otherwise we will be unattached from our body.

Being real, honest and open with yourself is the most important thing. If you aren’t able to do that right now, you are starting the journey of the conversation with yourself.

If you want something different, you need to do something different.

How do you cope with hard things? I am going to challenge you not to numb. I want you to challenge yourself to treat yourself differently. I encourage you to learn how to move the emotions out and through instead of squashing them.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Erin Part 2 - Ep #15

Tue, 16 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

On today’s episode, we continue the conversation with Erin who is the direct services supervisor of victim services of Montgomery County.

Erin steps back and remembers how she got interested in social work. It all started when she had a school assignment of interviewing a friend’s mom who was a social worker. She just always knew that is what she wanted to do. Erin chose victim services after having her own interaction with a Philadelphia victim's services agency. She became enthralled with that kind of work. An advocate job came open a few months later and Erin applied, and the rest is history.

Erin does very well with a lot on her plate. She enjoys finding ways to help when it seems like everything is stacked up against them. Erin is always up to the challenge of finding the answers and resources in the community to help. There is never the same situation.

There’s a profound feeling of hopelessness whenever there's a response from the criminal justice world that isn’t what is expected. It is their job to support the client no matter what, but not hearing the outcome you were hoping for makes it difficult.

Supporting the client means putting your own personal baggage on the shelf now while you are supporting them and their needs. After supporting the client when the day is done, Erin shares how she personally deals with her day and emotions so she can be ready for the next day.

Erin dives into areas that she has seen that are systematically broken. Sexual assault is one of the least reported crimes. Meaningful language access is another challenge that victims must overcome. Despite all the challenges, Erin loves finding ways to make miracles happen.

Victim Services is available to anyone that may or think they may need it. All you need to do is say that you need help.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Erin Part 1 - Ep #14

Tue, 09 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

On today’s episode, we meet Erin, the direct services supervisor of victim services of Montgomery County. Erin and her coworkers work specifically with victims of crime except for domestic violence.

These services are provided for free, and no insurance or co-pays are needed. You don’t need to be documented. They don’t want any barriers to prevent someone from getting services that they may need.

Someone might not seek out this team's services on their own. The team gets referrals in various ways including hospitals after a medical treatment or an officer.

The services can vary depending on the need of the client but happens after the fact of the crime. The team is there for advocate and therapy. Advocacy services are there to help those who have or are contemplating reporting or have reported. They help set up reasonable expectations and are just there for the person in a scary time. The outside world doesn’t understand the weight that something like this can be.

There’s the medical piece. We help provide crisis support. We will walk you through all your options. The last piece is therapy. We work with anyone from 5 years old and up.

How do you counsel someone who doesn’t see themselves as a victim? We are empowerment based. If they don’t want to be there, then Erin and the team will honor that and let them know they are here if they ever change their mind. However, if they don’t see themselves as a victim but the team is able to meet and support you where you are. The team will educate and provide a safe space for them. Erin and the team must understand the law so when a client is describing a situation, they have the ability to let them know if what they have said is or is not a crime that had happened to them.

Tune in next week where we will continue the conversation with Erin and learn how she got started in this line of work.

Leading with the Heart - Ep #13

Tue, 02 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Today’s episode may be short and sweet but impactful on our busy lives. We often find ourselves being very logical when it comes to things we need to accomplish instead of being guided by our heart.

I was reminded of this when I was talking to a friend who was preparing for a presentation. He kept saying that he needs to remember not to look down. This made me think about how we lead ourselves every day. Is it with our head and logic or is it with our heart and intuition?

When we lead with logic, we tend to find reasons not to do something that we may be passionate about. We tend to narrow in on the small details. When you lead with your heart, you will find your confidence, your stride and your happiness.

Join me today as we stand tall and gain the confidence to be present each day.

Leveling Up: Student Loans Continued - Ep #12

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Today we are revisiting a previous topic of student loans. I left off that episode frustrated that my student loans were not being forgiven. I was out of the timeframe they needed. I was no longer working in a nonprofit even though I had enough hours and payments being made. Instead of shutting down, I decided to refocus my mindset and regroup. I worked on manifesting a new way to pay them off through meditation. I double downed on my intentions of my new business that I am growing.

I continued with my day to day routines and then all of a sudden I had these 2 checks that had come into the mail from the Department of Education. My mom and I went to our usual Friday night dinner and I couldn’t wait to share what I believed these checks to be. I was in awe and still didn’t believe it to be true. I even reached out to my accountant, financial advisor and even the student loan company holder to verify everything.

Everything had changed the moment those checks entered my mailbox. I always had a hard time releasing to the universe and allowing things to just happen. Even though I struggled with this, I would still do it and work with those challenges. This was a lesson for myself to trust in the process.

Tune in to this week’s episode to hear how I leveled up.

Student Loans: Thoughts and Kim's Personal Experience - Ep #11

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Money and finances can be a stresser for many people. Our approach and perspective of it is something that we control. In today’s episode, I use my personal experience around my student loans. I get vulnerable of how I feel and how to work through changing my mindset.

Frustration can be big and can be hard. It can make you feel worthless and hopeless. We get to choose how we deal with it. You can choose to find the brighter side. For me, I use meditation as a vortex to envision dreams becoming reality. A space where anything is possible and everything is probable. It feels free and exciting.

Remember all of these challenges help shape us into our future selves. In the future, we will be able to see how we adapted and came through it.

Feeling and Manifestation: The Start of the Conversation - Ep #10

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, I show you the connection with your emotions on the inside to what you are manifesting into your daily life.

Manifesting has become a popular word to use these days but what is it really?

The truth is we are manifesting things constantly. Your emotional vibrations, thoughts and emotional levels help things come into light. If your emotions are lining up with things you want then you will get the things you want. If your emotions are lining up with things you don’t want then you’ll get the things that you don’t want.

Gabby Bernstein had an audiobook that I recently listened to called How to Release Anxiety. An important take away was a question that I now ask myself daily. The question was “Anxiety, what do you need today?” That worked for me but you could replace the word anxiety here with a word that works for you. For you it could be anxiety, depression, sadness, grief or loss. What does it need? The next step is important. You need to deal with whatever you are hearing as the answer. When you do you are going to feel relief on the other side.

Join me as we work to develop coping skills for our emotions to have better days in the future.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Stacy Part 2 - Ep #9

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

I am continuing my conversation with Stacy on her road to recovery. Last week, Stacy shared how she realized that not only she had an addiction problem, but also that she needed to get help.

Stacy received treatment in the middle of the pandemic. Her husband had to drop her at the front door. Stacy had to take a covid test before being allowed in. Luckily for her, she tested negative, so she was allowed to enter. If someone had tested positive, they would have been turned away.

Stacy thought during the days prior to treatment that she couldn’t drink to be sober entering the facility, which was not true. Since she didn’t have any alcohol in her body, she does remember the first days a little more clearly than someone who wasn’t sober.

Stacy was only in the medical unit for about 24 hours. She ended up in the professional unit to complete the recovery. She met her new therapist who at first, she wasn’t comfortable with at first. They decided to take it one day at a time.

Her day in the inpatient unit was very structured with group sessions, both in the morning and afternoon. There were individual sessions with a therapist and even peer led sessions. Stacy’s group had a 6:30 AM session and they had to write on their board where they were at any given time of the day.

Stacy’s insurance had determined that she was ready to be moved from inpatient to day patient treatment. Stacy believed it was too soon and lost her cool regarding this decision. The foundation is trying to help her fill in the gap financially between what insurance will now cover and what the bill will be.

While in treatment sometimes patients have symbols that help them through the hard times. Stacy made a deal with the housekeeper that the Christmas tree wouldn’t come down until she leaves. After Christmas a tech, not knowing the deal Stacy and the housekeeper made, took down the tree. This caused Stacy to lose her mind a little and write on the whiteboard her frustrations. The tree came back and instead of being decorated for Christmas, it had hearts with everyone's names on it. When leaving the facility, they made sure Stacy took the tree home with her to always remind her of the hard work she put in.

Remember that everyone’s road to recovery is different because your recovery is on you.

Stacy highly recommends watching the movie 28 days to get a really good understanding of inpatient treatment.

Conversations with Kim: Guest Stacy Part 1 - Ep #8

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes:

Today Stacy joins us to talk about her road to recovery. She will share the obstacles she had when realizing she needed help and the struggles to find help. Stacy spent most of her life avoiding addiction or so she thought. During the pandemic she started drinking for medicinal purposes, but quickly turned into a full-blown addiction.

Stacy knew she had a problem before she was willing to admit that she had a problem. She began fighting with her husband more often. The fighting was getting too much so she decided to visit her sister and take some time apart from her husband. This is where Stacy took her first step to recovery of going to a few meetings. She decided to go home back to her husband and let her employer know what was going on which led to her getting fired vs the help she needed. This caused her to go back to her safe space of drinking heavily again.

Stacy found two part time jobs, but still hid her drinking problem from all of those around her. Stacy had a commitment that she needed to be at, but instead decided to go get a drink at a Mexican restaurant after already having some shots beforehand. Stacy passed out at the table and when she woke up, she realized that she was late for the function and shouldn't go to it. Stacy decided that she needed to get help, so she made a call to a treatment center saying she was on the way. On that phone call they told her that isn't the process to get treatment. They need to go through certain steps like make sure there is insurance, that there is room ect. Stacy did wait the 2-day window to go seek the treatment because she knew if she didn’t go get the help that she would die, and she didn’t want to do that. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to wait that time, or they lose the courage to do it.

During the 2-day window of time before treatment, Stacy let her husband know via text that she is seeking help. She let both jobs know that she won’t be returning and her new job she was supposed to be starting that she would be delayed due to medical treatment. During this time, she also didn’t have another drink. Stacy’s husband drove her to the treatment center.

Tune in next week as we continue the conversation with Stacy on her road to recovery.

Being Stuck - Ep #7

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes

In today’s episode, we dive into the feeling of being stuck.

When we are younger, we experience lots of change. As we get older, we get into set routines. It’s great while it is bringing us joy. However there are times that we begin to feel like we are in a rut. Sometimes we are able to quickly see the need for a change while other times it takes awhile for us to be able to say “I’m done.”

When you realize you are in that moment of stuckness you need to find a way to move out of it, but how? It can be terrifying. Change is uncomfortable and hard. It takes small changes at first to start finding that hope, joy and light at the end of the other side. This life we are living is not for the faint of heart. We don’t just get an easy pass.

Join me today as we realize together that being stuck isn’t always helpful, but it is human.

Anxiety Overview and Some Coping Strategies - Ep #6

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Show Notes

In today’s episode I am going to talk about my friend Anxiety. I personally deal with anxiety so often that I can feel my symptoms coming on. I have been working on mine for years so this isn’t something that comes easily.

Knowing your triggers can help you prevent or minimize an anxiety attack. Anxiety is when your body feels like it is in danger. You need to figure out if you are a flight or freeze person during your anxiety. You need to acknowledge how you feel. You need to breathe through it and it will move on.

Today, I will walk you through breathing exercises that may help you. Your breath brings energy which helps you calm down.

It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to reach out to a doctor or medical expert for support.

What do you do when you are dealing with anxiety? How are you able to find a way to calm yourself down?

Brianna's Love Story Part 2 - Ep#5

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Show Notes:

Last week's episode we left off where Brianna had just had their baby. Jimmy, her husband, had picked them up from the hospital and dropped them off at Brianna’s grandmother’s house. Jimmy went back to their home to presumably finish up the repairs of the house.

She had learned that he had relapsed with both drugs and alcohol. His paranoid state had completely taken over. Brianna had filed a 302, an involuntary commitment, on Jimmy. At that point everything was coming crashing down. Brianna felt that she should have been able to fix him with the tools in her toolbox as a social worker.

Jimmy stayed for his mandatory stay and then left and returned back to their home. During this time, Brianna was still living at her grandmother’s house. Brianna’s dad was able to convince Jimmy to go back for more treatment and support which he did, but insurance got cut off. He decided to do it on his own. Brianna laid down guidelines for him to follow for their continued support including working the program and getting into a sober house.

Jimmy had supervised visits with their daughter. He continued to go downhill. Brianna wanted the best for him, but Jimmy had to want it for himself.

Brianna sought out a support group for herself of people dealing with a loved one in addiction, no matter the stage the addict is in. Brianna wanted to protect herself and her baby and the wellbeing of both of them. She chose to continue to be Jimmy’s life if he was seeking treatment. If decided not to get the help needed, then Jimmmy couldn’t see Brianna or the baby.

Brianna was heartbroken and in disbelief that this is how their lives and relationship turned out. Sober Jimmy was such an amazing person and the love of her life. When Jimmy wasn’t sober, he was a completely different person.

In the matter of months, Brianna lost her husband. She became a single mom. They lost their house. Brianna had to file bankruptcy. It got to the point that Brianna had to sign off for Brianna to have full custody of their daughter. Brianna had so much grief and sadness that she was processing.

Jimmy left Philadelphia. He had gone to North Carolina, Mexico and even the Florida Keys. He was homeless at points. Brianna would hear from him here and there, but he wasn’t in a good place. He did eventually come back to Philly, but still wasn’t in a good place.

It’s heartbreaking to see someone you love in that state, but Brianna had to live life. She had created boundaries for herself and her daughter to protect them. Brianna always had hope that Jimmy would be able to turn it around.

In October 2022, Brianna received a call that Jimmy had ended his life. Brianna was devastated and still is to this day. It was a life changing moment. Jimmy was always the love of her life. Brianna is learning to move forward. She will continue to share the happy moments of Jimmy with their daughter.

Brianna and I talk about how the system could have possibly failed Jimmy. Brianna makes sure to mention that the could have, should have, would haves will not bring him back and that she did the b

Brianna's Love Story Part 1 - Ep #4

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Show Notes:

Today, I have my first guest Brianna joining me sharing her love story with an unexpected ending.

When Brianna was young, she would always be outside playing or riding her bike. One day while riding her bike, her shoelace got tangled in her bike. Somehow she didn’t fall, but this young boy a few years older than her, Jimmy, came over and untied her shoe to help. Brianna being shy barely even said thank you and got out of there. They would see each other from time to time but never really interacted with him.

She reconnected with Jimmy through Facebook. They started talking for hours on the phone reconnecting. It was an instant connection that she had never felt before. She had found her soulmate. During their dating years, Jimmy had a drinking problem but he was able to get sober and get his life back on track. Jimmy was loving his job. Jimmy brought out the adventurous side of Brianna. No matter where they were, they were connected with each other. Brianna and Jimmy were living their best life together.

Brianna almost found the ring that Jimmy had hidden before he proposed. The day of the proposal wasn’t going how Jimmy planned it, but luckily they two were able to adapt and find new plans on New Years Eve in Philly.

Their wedding was one of Brianna’s happiest moments. Brianna and Jimmy went to Paris which was one of the most life changing trips Brianna had experienced. It was their best trip together. Brianna couldn’t imagine her life without Jimmy. He brought out the best in her. He knew how to help her in her time of need.

After years of trying, Brianna and Jimmy became pregnant. They were over the moon with excitement. Brianna’s pregnancy wasn’t easy. She was constantly sick. During the pandemic and now looking back small changes seemed to be happening with Jimmy. He was beginning to get paranoid that neighbors and others were listening in on him and making comments about him, which were not happening.

Jimmy was working on home improvements to their house. Since there was construction going on towards the end of Brianna’s pregnancy, she had to stay at friends and family’s houses. On the scheduled due date for delivery, Jimmy wasn’t answering the phone to take Brianna to the hospital. Brianna had her dad take her to the hospital/ Then her parents went to her house to find Jimmy asleep. Luckily he made it just in time for the delivery of their baby girl. He spent time at the hospital for a day but then decided to leave. Since it was during the pandemic once you left you couldn’t return. Jimmy picked Brianna and their daughter up the next day and dropped them off at her grandmother’s house, but did not stay. It hadn’t clicked that this may be her new norm.

Check back next week to hear the ending of Brianna and Jimmy’s story with a twist.

Loss in General - Ep #3

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Show Notes:
In episode 3, I talk about loss. The good, the bad and how to manage through it.

Loss is a topic that we have all experienced, but sometimes may be a challenge to navigate through. It’s a physical and emotional trauma that can be very uncomfortable and isn't easy to handle.

Yes there are the 5 stages of grief, but there is no linear path to get through loss. You may need to move one step forward to go two steps back and that’s okay. Acknowledging the feelings and the emotions is important to get through without it, you are going to feel stuck.

Anger is a part of loss. It’s important to remember that anger is going to happen and that’s okay. You need to remember that it is not okay to take it out on others. This is when you need to remind yourself: why did this make me mad?

Remember gentleness with yourself is necessary. It’s okay to ask for help. Give yourself grace as you deal with the loss.

Self Care and Self Love - Ep #2

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Today in episode 2, I talk about the importance of self care. I want to change the thought of self care to include self love. We as a society are toughest on ourselves. We let the compliments go in one ear and out the other and retain the negativity.

When you have self love, you have more energy. You feel better about yourself. You have more to give to the world around you.

For me self love is buying myself a dozen roses, journaling, taking a bath or even carving out time to cook in my kitchen. What can you do to show yourself love? It could be going to the gym, it could be going outdoors, it could be reading a book or even doing meditation. What makes you feel grounded?

Remember you are fabulous. You are amazing. You are doing the best with what you are given. Find time just for you.
