Summary
The hits just keep on going, don't they? I'm recording this show a few days after the shooting in the synagogue in Pittsburgh. I'm realizing that by the time this show airs, we will have probably been hit by even more atrocities. This is relevant to today's show because I will be discussing trusting your intuition; trusting your gut, and knowing where to find that.
I've never specifically identified as Jewish, but I am. I'm half Jewish. Part of the reason I never identified as Jewish is because, at a very young age, I was told I wasn't really Jewish because my mother wasn't Jewish. I learned this partly because I dated a boy at the age of 14 and his parents sent him to Israel for the summer to get him away from me. To be fair, his family members were Orthodox Jews.
As many of you know, I am an empath and I am really trying to tap into my intuition, which is linked to my empathy. After the synagogue shooting, I shut down. I actually slept for 10 hours straight, and on Sunday, I was dead to the world. I could hardly function because I was so exhausted. I asked myself in my innermost knowing why I was being so deeply affected by the shooting. The answer I heard was that even though I don't normally identify as Jewish, there was a generational trauma I was experiencing. I looked at the pictures of my Jewish relatives on my wall and thought about my great-grandfather studying the Torah, and about my Russian grandmother who escaped on a refugee ship. The idea that none of this lives in my DNA is silly. I was able to tap into my family history so I could mourn and grieve.
Show highlights:
- Kate shares how the rise of anti-semitism in our country is negatively affecting her personally.
- Rhian Lockard's class, Divine Communication, is helping Kate to tap into her inner guide, or "inside team."
- Kate says to reach down deeply inside yourself to answer difficult questions. Ie. Should I leave my relationship, or should I stay?
- Call in your guides, and ask them the question. What is the first thing that bubbles? That will be your answer. Listen to the part of you that bubbles up.
- Kate says that when you ask yourself the difficult or scary questions, they will be the most important questions/decisions you will ever make. Hear the bubble pop and just listen. That's how you connect to your inner guides.
- Trust yourself and trust your inner voices.

| 0:53.2 | And I'm realizing that by the time this podcast recording goes |
| 0:58.1 | out, we probably will have been hit by 10 other atrocities. And it's sort of relevant to |
| 1:05.2 | what I want to talk to you about today. I really want to talk today about trusting our intuition, |
| 1:12.1 | trusting our gut, |
| 1:18.6 | and sort of knowing where to find that. I want to talk about this shooting in Pittsburgh because it's really interesting. I've never specifically identified as Jewish, but I am. |
| 1:26.6 | I am actually half Jewish. And part of the reason that I've never identified |
| 1:30.3 | as Jewish is that I was taught from a very young age that because my mother wasn't Jewish, |
| 1:36.6 | therefore I wasn't a real member of the tribe. I wasn't really accepted into the tribe. And I learned |
| 1:42.6 | this partly because I dated a boy when I was 14 and his parents sent him to Israel to get him away from me. Now, to be fair, they were Orthodox. And that was not, you know, a non-Jewish girl was not okay, let alone the fact that I like, I wasn't Jewish, |
| 2:01.8 | but like I wasn't Orthodox. I mean, it was a whole thing. But oh my God, we were so in love and |
| 2:06.0 | we were 14 years old. And then they literally packed him off to Israel for the summer to get |
| 2:12.3 | him away from me. And it worked. I bumped into him about, I don't know, 10 years later. |
| 2:19.1 | And I was hoping he had, I don't know, I had this fantasy that he had kind of rejected everything. |
