It's been so long since I've done one of these that there's bound to be some glitches, and that was the first one. So if you all want to keep track, and at the end of the discussion, at the end of the stream, we can talk about how many mistakes I made during this broadcast. Seriously, though, I used to do these all the time, and I do them very rarely now. When I see something that it interests me, I try to jump on and do that.

If you're joining me on the Jason Hawes YouTube channel, just know it's going to be just me today.

Jason's got a whole bunch of stuff going on, but Jason and I used to do Beyond Reality Radio together,

where we would interview very interesting people.

We talked to people about ghosts, about Bigfoot, about aliens, about metaphysical topics,

all sorts of things. And we did that every night, Monday through Friday, on about 120 radio stations around

the country.

And when that ended, we went on and did other things, but we always talked about

trying to bring that format back in some form. And YouTube and these other stream options

seem to be the best place to do it. So that's what we're, at least that's what I'm doing here.

At some point, I think Jason's going to join me and we'll do some of these together.

But right now, we're going to do this with just me. And I've got a very, very interesting guest

joining me today. Now, one of the things that I've always been curious about is the power of

metaphysical objects, things like crystals, pendulums, different incense and aromatherapies, and all sorts of items

that are available to people to use for various spiritual or even paranormal uses.

And I just never really fully understand it, the ins and outs or the ups and downs of all of this.

And I found somebody who I think does.

I'm pretty sure my guest today, who is Christy Nicole.

She's the owner of Awakening's of Baton Rouge.

And it's Awakening's of Baton Rouge.com if you want to check out the online store.

And she features all this stuff.

And I've seen a whole bunch of live streams that she does talking about various items. A lot of them are crystals or crystalline in nature. But there's other things too. And I'm kind of babbling here because I really don't know what I'm talking about. So I do need to bring in the expert. Christy, thank you so much for joining me.
