0:23.0	So my dad passed away in 2015.
0:26.9	We weren't talking and it took a month for his family to track me down.
0:31.9	Before I ever knew he was gone, I started hearing from him in heaven.
0:36.9	It consumed me. How is communication with the other
0:40.6	side even possible? I left my corporate gig, studied with spiritual teachers on every coast,
0:47.4	and worked with my angels to figure out the answers. Today, my mission is teaching you how to raise your vibration, shift your thoughts,

2:04.3	nervous I think about just like talking about certain topics. I like to just look at the world
2:10.4	and spirituality as that oneness. And there, I recently had on a woman who talks about the Japanese art of manifesting. And actually,
2:21.1	the way that she sees manifesting is so much more to how the angels talk about manifesting. And I
2:28.1	think that there's just truths. I don't know if you've ever kind of watched the show The Good
