Transformation Through Challenges: From a Life of Pressure to Pleasure
Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey with me? I'm about to bare it all - from my struggles with an unhappy marriage and unfulfilling job to my battle with mold toxicity and dysautonomia. My journey isn't just about survival; it's about the radical shift from a life of pressure to a life of pleasure, and how this switch can bring about remarkable changes. 

Ever had to endure the negativity of social media comments? Or perhaps you're struggling with job dissatisfaction or financial crisis? I've been there too, and I've found some surprising ways to navigate these choppy waters. I'll share my story of how I used the power of visualization to change my life, including a special offer for RRT sessions that you won't want to miss! Also, hear about my trials with mold toxicity, what it's like to juggle childcare complications, and my process of discovering POTS and dysautonomia. 

Finally, let's shed some light on often overlooked health hazards - like the dangers of mold in houses. I'm excited to share with you my efforts to raise awareness about this issue - from creating resources and products to help uncover mold presence in homes, to my upcoming book that weaves together my journey with mold, pleasure, and pressure. Get ready, because this is going to be one heck of a ride!

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to the 5D CFO podcast. My name is Angela Marie Christian and my mission is to help entrepreneurs and thought leaders rise to the 5D, where we can find wealth in all dimensions, in all areas of life. Enjoy, hello, hello. I have had quite the couple of weeks. Maybe it's been a month, I'm not even sure at this point. But first of all, I just want to thank you guys, my listeners, so much for being here, sending blessings and love to everyone that takes their time to tune in. I know there's a lot of podcasts out there, a lot of things you know battling for your attention, and the fact that you are choosing to tune in and listen to my podcast just means so much to me, so I really, really appreciate you.

Speaker 1:

I have, if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a post recently about the desire to really be more authentic. You know I share, I feel like I share quite a bit, but it's kind of the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more I could be sharing and I've held back which I know isn't serving anyone because there's things that I could share with you, some of you. It would really help and I think I've been hesitant to do that because I've had things held against me before and so it's kind of a fear-based issue on my end and I need to. Just well, I have resolved most of it. It still makes me feel a little nervous sharing some of the information I'll be sharing, but I'm doing that, doing it with the hope that it will help someone else feel like they're being heard or you know that they're not alone. So, before I get into all of that, you know this episode is really for people who, if you're just feeling really overwhelmed right now, if a lot of things are pulling you in a lot of different directions most of my listeners are entrepreneurs, or what I call entrepreneurs, which is wanting to be an entrepreneur, but this podcast is really for anyone who's just wanting to improve their life.

Speaker 1:

However, this particular episode I really want to help people who are feeling just overwhelmed, called in so many different directions, feeling just kind of like confused or lost, not really sure where to go from here, feeling like maybe there's you know there's so much more to life, but you don't know how to tap in and access that, and so I want to talk first a little bit about some of the things that have changed in my life recently that these different areas of life. I'm sure one of them will resonate with you, and I'm doing this because I tend to go silent when things are shifting. It's almost like I'm going into a cocoon, like I'm a caterpillar going into a cocoon, knowing you know things are about to shift and transform, and so I go silent. I often don't feel creative or inspired during that time. So I can tell now I'm coming out of it because I have been wanting to record this podcast for you guys for about three days now. I'm literally sitting in my car recording it right now because, as you'll hear, things have just changed a lot, so I'm not. It's not as easy for me right now to record these podcasts, but this was just like an urge I needed to do so. Essentially, I feel like I've been shedding my current reality to embrace my new one, and we go through that a lot in life, and I feel like it does deserve the time to go inward and not feel all this pressure. And so this is something that I've learned a lot from my mentor, andrea Crowder, from.

Speaker 1:

She was on my podcast not too long ago. She has an amazing story. She was a 19 year old stripper coke addict, got pregnant and then now she's like a multimillionaire who helps people with rapid resolution therapy, which is the same modality that I have been certified in with clinical hypnosis, and I have been practicing that on people, including my children, and just seeing wonderful results, and so she's been doing it longer than I have, and she always talks about pleasure over pressure, and I just think that's so important because just think about it, how much of your life, how many things are you doing with the feeling of pressure versus pleasure? And an example I can give you as an entrepreneur is I was feeling like I'm kind of one of those people who always try to overdo it. I over complicate things, I tend to over complicate things and I just feel like, okay, that person's doing no-transcript, that means I need to do that too. So I was trying to be on all the platforms, on all the different social media platforms, and I noticed some platforms, for example, YouTube. I don't feel a sense of pleasure when I'm on YouTube. When I'm, you know, it's like when I think about having to upload videos to YouTube. I'm kind of like ugh. So I actually hired a video editor to do it for me, but I never go check, like I actually had one.

Speaker 1:

My first like troll comment on an interview I did with Caroline de Amore, which I did this before her show on Fox came out, food Stars with Gordon Ramsay, and she became the villain on the show and so there were all these like reddit threads about her and I think she's an amazing person, she's just very blunt and anyway. So he made a comment like oh, caroline talking for an hour, I'm not watching this. And it's like who asked you to watch it? Like I don't understand people who feel like they need to leave negative comments, you know, but I was just nice and I said oh, and he said why is she called? Why is she called pizza girl when she makes pasta sauce? So I just said, hey, there, yeah, you definitely don't have to listen to this. She talks about that in the episode.

Speaker 1:

She grew up in Malibu. As you know, her father owns De Amore's Pizza, which is a famous pizza place in Malibu, and she was known as the pizza girl, so, and you can make pizza out of the pasta sauce or, you know, use it as the base. Anyway, he said, well, you know, a lot of people hate her or whatever. And I just said. You know, I hope you have a better day, because I said I told him I'm just not here for this negativity. You know, I'm really not. If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Like I didn't even promote that YouTube video. Actually it's probably why I don't have a lot of followers on YouTube.

Speaker 1:

But I started asking myself, where do I feel pleasure and excitement when it comes to, for example, posting on social media? Honestly, I feel the most pleasure in my podcast because I love being able to just close my eyes, talk to you guys. You know it's, I don't know who's listening. I can't see you know who's listening. I can see you know countries, cities, but I can't see anybody's names or anything. So it's very anonymous and I just don't love video and that might be something I need to work through.

Speaker 1:

I've definitely gotten used to it, like on Instagram reels. I do not love doing Instagram reels where I have to be, you know, in the video talking, and I do it because you know I am the face of my company, so who else is going to do it? But that's why there's times where I just won't post any videos, and so this isn't all about social media, but I just wanted to give you an example of where in your life are you feeling pressure and where are you feeling pleasure and how can you tap more into the pleasure and, you know, release the things that cause pressure? And I know that's not possible with everything in your life. If you do have things in your life that are causing you pressure and you just don't know what to do, I can definitely help you.

Speaker 1:

And one thing I was going to mention at the end is for anyone listening any of my podcast listeners I'm going to offer RRT sessions for only $99. And I'm only offering that to my podcast listeners. If you were to go on my website and try to book, it's $250. So huge discount. But I just wanted to do that for you guys and this isn't a sales pitch episode, just throwing that in there Because I really do appreciate anyone who's taking the time to listen, and that means you are. If you're listening, you're wanting to improve your life and that means you know that you are wanting to invest time in yourself. So if I can help you do that by providing a discount for you to, you know, try out RRT. It's helped me clear everything from public speaking to anger to sadness.

Speaker 1:

I will RRT myself at night in bed. If I'm, you know, just laying there thinking about all these things, thinking about something that bothered me, that happened during the day, I will RRT myself. It takes like five minutes. That's because I've been doing it for a long time. But I help my daughter, my eight year old, all the time with RRT when she's dealing with some kind of fear. I cleared the fear of spending the night at people's houses for her. She started spending the night after a year or two the next day, like because it speaks to unconscious mind on many different levels. It just works so fast. So, anyway, if that's something you're interested in, just reach out to me, either on Instagram at Angela Marie Christian, or you can email me, angela, at angelamariechristiancom.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so back to the episode. So that's kind of been one of the entrepreneurial struggles. So I'm just gonna share a few different areas of life and I didn't have time to actually like do an outline today which I am going to be more intentional with my podcasts in the future, because I wanna make sure I hit certain things, talk about certain things and then provide value during each episode too, whether it's you know step by step how to, or just, you know, ask questions that will help you. So to back up a little bit, if you've read my book Manifestation Mastery, you'll know I'm pretty good at manifesting. I mean, I'm very good at manifesting and I manifested when I was see I guess it's been a year now over a year I was in an unhappy marriage, I was in a job I didn't love, I was trying to start my business, my online business, and I just knew I needed change and my ex had maxed out on my credit cards, just got me into a really bad financial position.

Speaker 1:

When I had met him, I was doing really well and you know I let it happen. I have to take responsibility for that. So I knew I needed change and I was just like I want change and I kept envisioning the change. And this is how it always seems to happen. It all came at once and you know, I filed for divorce. I lost my long time job due to COVID cutbacks, which I was fine with because I had just reached my. I had hit the ceiling there, basically, and I'm still in really good terms with all of them. They actually send me referrals all the time. I filed for bankruptcy. I had to move out of my house that I loved, and I got COVID all at once.

Speaker 1:

But not once did I sit there and think poor me. I knew that I was going into my cocoon, I was, you know, liquidating, basically like caterpillars do, and just waiting to transform, and I came out so much stronger and so much happier. And so, just about a month ago, I was started getting the feeling things need to change and I was like, oh no, here we go. So I could feel it, I could tell big things were going to happen, but I just let it happen. I said I'm here for it, I'm ready for this next phase of my life, and, sure enough, I had moved into this beautiful home, four bedroom, four bath home. So it was exactly what I wanted. But then, when my teenage daughter moved out to go to college, I really didn't need such a big house, and so I had been having some issues with her. But she's just a teen going through teen stuff and I just thought I really don't need this big house.

Speaker 1:

It also had mold, which I knew there was water damage when I moved in, but, as you probably know if you've listened to me or read my book, I almost died from mold poisoning in the past, and so I was told it was going to be fixed. I didn't know it was there, or I wouldn't have even moved in. I didn't know it was there until I'd already paid my deposit and everything. And so I kept asking for it to be fixed. Nothing, no response. I had an inspector come out who said, yes, there is pathogenic mold here and it needs to be fixed. Gave them the quote. Just nothing. I don't know. I guess the owner didn't wanna fix it, or maybe they were busy, but it was right under my daughter's window and we're all very sensitive. She was really sick from it. I was starting to feel sick. I had a major flare up of my autoimmune disorder, which I'll talk about shortly. But anyway, long story short, that was all going on. So I knew I needed to move out if they weren't going to fix it right, and I also just didn't need such a huge house.

Speaker 1:

At the same time, I was really not thrilled with the company I was working for. I have private clients and then I had a full-time job as well as a senior controller. I wasn't thrilled. I had promised me a lot before I got hired. I was very upfront that I was a coach. They knew I had private clients, but I told them I wouldn't actively look for more while I was employed with them. I think they were very intimidated and worried that I was going to be looking for clients who would compete with them, which I was not. And so they mentioned to me one time that my website it did say something about CFO consulting, because I had created it before I joined their company. And so I said, okay, it's fine, I was going to redo my website anyway, I'll take that part down. So I completely took my website down and rebuilt a new one myself, took a lot of hours and nowhere on there does it say CFO. It does now, but at that time it didn't say CFO or controller consultant, like there was no mention of it.

Speaker 1:

And so we got on a call and HR said, well, you haven't changed your website. And I said, yes, I did. I actually created a whole new website and I have all the paperwork if you'd like to see it. And she said, well, I've been clicking around on your website and you can book a coaching call during work hours. And I was like, okay, first of all, I'm entitled to a lunch break. Right and honestly, I didn't know. I didn't even think about it because I hadn't been promoting that, so it wasn't something like that I was doing. And I told her that. I said, okay, well, that was by mistake. I haven't been taking coaching calls right now, so not an issue, I'll just remove it.

Speaker 1:

So then she, the company, sent me a form to sign. They wanted me to sign something saying that I hadn't changed my website and they wanted to put that in my HR file. And I said that's not accurate. Can you please change it, and then I'll sign it. They would not change it. She said, no, I'm not changing it.

Speaker 1:

And we kind of went back and forth and I said would you sign something about yourself? That isn't true. And she wouldn't answer me. Of course, typical, sorry, but typical HR person. And finally I said you know, I think I need to talk to an attorney, because it was starting to feel very like uncomfortable and like harassment. And as soon as I said that, she disconnected all of my logins and I was like, okay, here we go. And so she said well, you're not working with me, so we're gonna have to just terminate you. I said I just wasn't going to sign something that had false information about myself on it. Like, I know how it works. You know, I've been around the HR block quite a few times and, honestly, it was such a relief. Talk about pressure over pleasure. That was such such a relief.

Speaker 1:

And so that happened, and then, at the same time, or maybe slightly before, my ex stopped paying his half of childcare. So, you know, our son was in a very expensive preschool daycare in wine country, and he had been there for a long time. It was very expensive, though, and so, you know, I wasn't going to pay his half, because I knew I would never see it back. Plus, there were a couple of things happening there that I wasn't thrilled about, so I kind of wanted him to be somewhere more intimate anyway, but I wasn't going to pull him out of there, you know. So they basically said well, he can't be here anymore, and I didn't want to have to go through that every month. To be honest, it was an issue every single month. It was late, and then, you know, it was the 18th of the month and just still no payment.

Speaker 1:

So all of this happened at once, and I was like okay, this is it's time for me to make another, you know, move transformation. So I had to start coming and staying at my parents' house and they were helping me with my son so that I could work, because I still have, you know, quite a bit of private clients to work on. And I just thought, you know, I've been really fighting, moving back to where I grew up. I don't know why exactly, but now that my oldest daughter is graduated and she was the one who, I mean poor thing we moved so much. I move like a freaking gypsy. I whether it's mold or something else, it's like I don't know. I was definitely a gypsy in the past life, but I always made sure she was in the best schools I put her through. And $20,000 a year high school, college, prep, high school only for her to go to the local junior college.

Speaker 1:

So it was just like, okay, what I had to sit there and ask myself if I won the lottery and this is a good question for you too if I won the lottery and I had so much money that I didn't have to work I would never stop working, to be honest. But what is the most important thing to me? Where would I wanna live? Who would be with me? What would I do every day. Those are really good questions to ask, to get clear on what you are aligned with in terms of pleasure. So what I realized is, yes, I have this dream house in my mind. That's already in the 5D. I'm just working on bringing it into the 3D, okay.

Speaker 1:

But I realized I want to live by my mom and sister because and my dad and brother, who are a little bit further away, but they're my family. I was living in one country. I had no friends. I had moved there with my ex and his family and friends were there. But when I loved living there, it was such a cute town. But I realized, you know, I just kind of want a simpler life. I don't want to be spending almost all of my money on rent, and so I finally came to terms with the fact that you know what being closer to family is the season I'm in, that is the era I'm in right now, and at first I kind of I was bitter and angry and I just thought it was the worst thing in the world to have to move back in with my parents. But now I'm realizing, as I'm getting a lot of offers that are going to, you know, help a lot financially that where I grew up it's a lot less expensive. You know I can be in my dream house a lot easier here than I would be in wine country and it's still, you know, close enough.

Speaker 1:

So just accepting your current reality is really important, because the more you struggle, the more it will persist. So I just accepted it. I said look at all the things that happened that brought me here. It's for a reason. Right, all of those things happened at the same time, and so if you're going through something similar, just try to zoom out and look at it in that way, like, hmm, okay, all of this happened, it must have happened for a reason. So what's the lesson here? And just being at peace with it, but then also making sure you're doing your.

Speaker 1:

You know visualization every day about where you want to be, because and I've talked about this in other episodes and maybe I'll do a longer one or give you guys an audio of some sort, but it's so important every day I visualize myself in my dream house, all of that and I know it's coming, but I don't try to control the how or the why, and so that's kind of what's been going on with me. I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend and she was going through a similar situation where she ended up moving with her mom to be closer to her sister, and you know she actually helped me realize that this is for the better and my son is in an adorable preschool and it's way more intimate and it's a lot less expensive, and so, you know, everything really did work out. And so a couple other pieces of this and I didn't want to make this episode too long. One last thing to note on that is I did realize I've always liked the finer things in life, that's for sure. Even when I was on a beer budget, I had champagne taste and that's just kind of. You know who I am. I just appreciate nice things and I always like will eat organic food and I like doing pilates and you know it's. But by living in such a nice huge house in this beautiful area, I was sacrificing my future for today. I was sacrificing the ability to stack cash and invest and really like build up a lot of assets that I could use soon and also in the future. So that's what I've been working on as well is learning more about investing and not investing in the way that, like in 30 years, I can use it. No, I'm not about that. Like I am going to invest so that it's available to me, if not immediately, within a year or two. So that's what I'm learning right now, actually, and it's been really fun. And so I guess the other piece of this has been just, I've had some health struggles from I believe it was the mold exposure at my house and I was diagnosed with POTS and dysautonomia, which I won't get into too much right now. Maybe I'll do another episode or I will do another episode on that, because I feel like I'm gonna go real fast. Ok, thanks, sooooooo appreciate it. Thanks, th Barry.

Speaker 1:

The way that I found out was so serendipitous and you know, I believe the universe, god creator, definitely works through people. So I had an incident where I was having heart palpitations, and this was about two months ago. I was having heart palpitations urgent care, walk-in. Urgent care wasn't taking walk-ins, which is very odd. I did not want to go to ER and so I had a call with my doctor, who's in Arizona. She's a naturopath. Oh sorry, but before I had the call with her, when I was on the phone with urgent care, they said well, if you go to ER, they'll probably just give you fluids and see what that does, and I thought, oh okay. So I found a mobile nurse who comes to your home and will give you an IV of fluid. So I booked this nurse to come over. She gave me an IV of fluids and vitamin B and I asked for a glutathione shot and my heart palpitations stopped within 10 minutes of being hooked up to the IV, and so later that day I had a call with my doctor, the naturopath from Arizona, and she said the fact that the fluids helped your heart palpitations tells me that you probably have POTS. She's like I would go try to find a doctor who specializes in POTS, because if you get a diagnosis as having POTS, then actually insurance will pay for you to get a monthly IV of fluids, which is really good for you anyway, especially if you're like hungover or you're just needing like an immune boost. I felt so good after I did that and my goal is to get an IV of fluids once a month, and so I started doing all of this research and talked to this doctor in San Jose and we had an intake call on Zoom and he said yeah, you definitely have POTS and dysautonomia, he's like. But obviously I'd like you to come in and we'll do testing.

Speaker 1:

So July 18th I went in to their San Jose facility called NorCal Brain Center, which is amazing. They did hours of testing and figured out there were some issues with my brain, like my brainstem. It was a little off and then a lot of it. They can tell through your eye movement, which I found really amazing. And so I did hours of testing and then I did some treatment after that and one of the treatments was the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which is really great for inflammation. It gives me energy. Afterwards I feel really great. And then they also do eye movement exercises to help the vagus nerve and they'll check your balance.

Speaker 1:

They it's kind of funny they had me laying down and they had these like compression cuffs on my legs for circulation, because POTS can create circulation issues, and so I had the compression stuff going on on my legs and then they had this light in my nose, like this white light, to reach my brain, basically just trying to like reset everything. And then I had this I don't know what it's called exactly, but it feels like an electric shock and so they put that on certain areas of my body to try to wake up my left side, because that's the side that I'm needing help with and he asked me are you comfortable with tongue stimulation? Which was a very awkward question and I was like, hmm, I knew we meant like the shock thing. I was like I've never done that before but I'll give it a try, and it felt very weird. But I left that facility feeling so much better and I realized like if I hadn't had that episode of the heart palpitations, if I hadn't had that nurse come, I wouldn't even know that I had this right. And so if you're dealing with health issues in your life, just pay attention to those serendipitous moments for people. If someone mentioned something to you and if you have any questions about POTS or disautonomia, definitely reach out to me. But I'll tell you my symptoms really fast.

Speaker 1:

It can be caused by like an actual, like brain injury. It can be caused from viruses. It can be caused from mold they believe mine was from the mold and then I got COVID and ever since I had COVID a couple of mother's days ago I've suffered. My creativity has suffered. I used to get up every morning and just write. I would write articles for all these different outlets, I'd write my book, and now I just really struggle with creativity in general but writing, and so that's part of this. And so, with these eye movements and these home they call them home rehab exercises that I'm doing, that should all start improving.

Speaker 1:

And I do feel so much better this week, which is why I decided, you know, I need to just sit in my car and record this podcast, because right now, living with my parents, I'm working for the city, helping the finance director. I don't want to sit there, you know, obviously, record a podcast. So right now it's, it's my car, it's fine. And so I was having that, I was having brain fog, I was having dizzy spells, nausea, I was sweating at night, which is very strange because I'm not someone who sweats in general. So basically, my nervous system was just dysregulated. It didn't know day and night, it didn't know what was going on, All these like mixed signals going on in my nervous system. And so NorCal Brain Center, which is where I've been going, my doctor, who I love, her name's Dr Vita. She had it as well and was able to treat it, and I just feel so grateful, right, that all of these things happened.

Speaker 1:

And so you can't always see the dots connecting from where you're at, but when you look back you can see how they were all connected. And so if you're dealing with health issues, really listen to your body and then also just make sure you're consulting other people than your general, like. If you just have a general Western medicine doctor, I love them, for you know my women's checkups, all of that but they're not trained in specialized issues like mold toxicity, like POTS or like dysautonomia. They're not trait. Most of them, I should say, aren't trained in that. And I dealt with a lot of Western medicine doctors who tried to tell me that my mold toxicity was all in my head, like my body was so small and my organs had created all of this water. I looked like I was six months pregnant because they were my body was trying to protect my organs and they were telling me it was all in my head. So I always consult people who are specialized naturopaths, like she is my main doctor. She's expensive but she is awesome. And then this group of doctors at NorCal Brain Center are amazing as well.

Speaker 1:

And you know it's not normal for us to feel tired every day, it's not normal to have brain fog. So if you're experiencing those things you know. Look in your environment. Is there possibly mold? And that brings me to my last point, which is I don't know about you, but I am a very multi-passionate person, so there are so many different things I want to be doing. I already started writing another book, which is fiction but based on true events, so I've started that right. I have my accounting and finance consulting, and then I also have my RRT, and then I have my online courses and online like audios. So I have quite a bit of things. I also have my affiliate marketing training, which you can find all of that on my website. And but the theme that keeps coming up in my life and this is what I encourage you to notice too is is there a theme in your life? Because mold, mold is definitely a theme in my life and I've realized part of my purpose, or my Dharma, has to do with mold, and so I'm working on.

Speaker 1:

Some of you know, I started inventing a product last year, but it was a little bit too innovative, where the people I was even like these high tech industrial engineers, like they didn't even know how to do what I was asking. So I thought. So I realized recently I need to take a step back and kind of start smaller. So I am so passionate about mold because I almost died from it and my children were really sick. I lost everything and it kind of upsets me sometimes because people don't realize like people lose things in fires, they lose things in floods and that's really like tangible because you can see it's gone right. I literally lost everything, even the clothes on my back. I had to go to Target and buy me and my kids clothes and get rid of the ones we were wearing and it was like people just didn't quite understand in the way that they understand people losing things to floods and fires, because it was still in the 3D, it was still there but it was severely contaminated. So it was like it was so sad because I could see it and I couldn't have it. I had to literally just throw it all the way and start over and that was the whole start of my spiritual awakening, spiritual journey, starting to communicate with beings which I haven't really talked a lot about. This is part of me being more authentic, but I learned how to travel through my mind, obviously to different dimensions to get knowledge and bring it back and, if you're into quantum physics, you'll understand more about that. I'll talk about that in a different episode, but I have learned a lot and it's helped me quite a bit figure out where to go from here by tapping into that, and so that's what helped me realize I need to start a little bit more basic with my mold company. So just stay tuned for that.

Speaker 1:

But 75% of houses do have mold. It's not all toxic mold, but that's what I want to educate people on, and I'm going to have a product that you can test yourself, and it's not going to be super expensive at all, because I want everyone to be able to know if they're living in a hazardous environment. Everybody should have a right to live in a healthy environment, and unfortunately, a lot of the materials that are being used or I should say almost all of the materials being used to create houses these days are not mold resistant. So there are materials you can buy. They're a little bit more expensive, but they are mold resistant, fire resistant and, I think, bug resistant. I cannot remember the name of it right now, but I'm going to have all these resources for people, as well as the mold testing, including the lab work, and if you want to follow that specific journey, like if that interests you and you want to really be on like up to date on the mold information.

Speaker 1:

I do have an Instagram that I haven't been posting on. It's called Myco Clear. You can find me on Instagram I think it's just at Myco Clear. It's Myco Clear by Angela Christian, but I think the handle is at Myco Clear, so I will. I am going to start posting on there more information about mold, more information about this new business that I'm creating, and I am going to be writing a book about mold as well. So that I've just realized, you know it keeps popping up in my freaking life, so I'm taking that as a sign that I need to do something with it, has to do something or has to do with my purpose, my Dharma, my helping others, and I really am like talk about, you know, pleasure, pressure. It's so weird, but I feel pleasure when I talk about mold because I'm educating people, because I'm helping them.

Speaker 1:

If I could prevent people going through what I did, I'm here for that. Here for that Because you know, what I've realized is, while I'm really good at accounting and finance, it's, you know, just not my kink anymore, which is kind of funny to say, but I used to get really excited about Excel sheets and I do still love. I love like figuring things out, I love forensic accounting. I think I've just been like a little worn out in the fractional online space, so I might have an opportunity that I'll be taking on soon. That's completely different than I've ever done in the accounting space and if that happens, I'll share more about it. I'm really excited about it. So I don't want to jinx myself, but like this whole fractional juggling so many different clients like it's given me ADD and I'm just kind of ready. You know I'm like okay, what's next? Because I'm realizing now that I'm really trying to look at the pleasure versus pressure. It's just not bringing me as much pleasure, you know.

Speaker 1:

So I hope this was helpful and it wasn't just like me rambling on. I hope you'll understand. I just I've been moving and so all the kids are starting school and my middle daughter still goes to school in in Marin County, which is kind of far from me. So it's just a lot of a lot of balls in the air to juggle. However, I'm very grateful for everything and please let me know if any of this helped you, if there's anything you want to hear more about, if there's anything I can do to support you, I would just love to know. So, wishing you all the best weekend and much love. Thank you so much for listening to the 5D CFO podcast. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and tag me on social media.
