Potcast 224: In the Weeds

I’m on the verge of moving to my family’s ranch in west Texas where I grew up. And heads-up I might skip a show late June or early July to ensure I don’t lose my mind grapes during the process. I’m currently in the Lone Star State working out the logistics of my return. 

In all the hubbub I missed my six year anniversary of recording the potcast. Shout out to @mellow_yogi (aka Kathryn) for the sweet message on Instagram reminding me of the milestone.

That said, if you’re a long-time listener like Kathryn, then you know today’s guest. My sister, Crystal, and I are having fun catching up. And even the simplest of activities can spark thoughtful conversations like the one we had today about weeds and their purpose in our lives.

If you’re inspired to reexamine the weeds in your life, I hope you’ll share this potcast with your smoke circle.

A message from Crystal Nuding, consciousness coach:

I teach you to manage stress in a way that minimizes upset, drama & suffering and maximizes potential, peace & ease.

I get to the root of your problems. Not a band-aid or temporary fix. What I offer is your complete and ultimate freedom.

This exciting information is actually physics. It works. You will be happier and create more health, money, joy, peace, and ease in your life.

We live in a vibrational universe. We are vibration. Science has been proving and telling us more and more about it for around 100 years. The old Newtonian physics model of the world does not contain it all.

Things happen vibrationally first and physically second; not knowing or understanding this doesn’t make it not so. Everything ever created was first an idea in someone’s head before they gave it their focus, time, and energy to create it. We’re creating constantly… things we like and don’t like.

We (humanity/society) have lived under the impression someone else was in control of our world for a long time… that is not the case. The observer affects his own reality. How you think and respond to situations in your life influence what happens next. I’m happier knowing I can move confidently in the direction of what I want.

My ideas and techniques are proven and effective. Each session is different because everyone is different.

I am here to help. I’d love to hear from you. -Crystal
