This is the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Well, hello my beautiful spiritual hustlers. And welcome. Welcome to the first installment of a brand new series that I am bringing to you each and every week called the Unlocking. Yep, we're going to unlock our codes of consciousness when it comes to our wealth, our joy, our peace, our magic, our fulfillment, our success, our relationships, our bodies. We are so infinite as spiritual beings having this human experience. And each and every Thursday, I'm gonna come at you with a little minisode. But I wanted to start this series on a high note. Just kidding. But. But really, truly, I couldn't honestly have thought of a better way to truly crack us all open into this series where we are going to go into the depths, right? The depths of our power, the depths of our truth, the depths of our purpose. And I want to talk about grief today. We're going to have a different unlocking every single week. But it felt kind of divinely oriented that I would open up this series in a way that I wasn't honestly intending to. Some insider baseball. My team and I have been prepping for the launch of this series for the last few months and I have so many unlocks for you. And I thought I would come out the gate with something like, I don't know, unlocking abundance or unlocking the goddess within, or unlocking your inner Palladian. Don't worry, it's all coming. But then December happened and 2024 was like a year for the books. Like, I sold a business, launched a new business, assembled an incredible team, published A national best selling book like blew up my platform, removed cities and all of these check check checks of goals that I had intended to at the beginning of the year. And then my dog died in December. And I know many of us have animals, maybe some of us have had animals that have passed. And so you understand, maybe some of you out there don't have animals and can't necessarily relate to that grief. But I did do quite a bit of reading to help console myself in December. Some really powerful books. And there's real science behind the grief and the heartbreak that comes with losing an animal. Because unlike a child, even that grows up, eventually goes to kindergarten and makes its own friends and then high school and then graduates. Like even a child becomes its own independent person after a certain period of their life. And an animal is dependent on you 24 7. You are its entire world. And the loss of my sweet puppy really, truly broke me open. And I'm gonna be really vulnerable here and share something I haven't really admitted out loud to my community ever. But I don't really cry that much. As emotional and as deeply feeling as I am, I don't really cry that much. I'll get teary eyed at a movie or, you know, something once in a while will break me for sure and I'll cry. But very, very few things have broken me open. And December was just a spiral descent down into the depths of so much, so much pain. And what it led me to was not just the grief of my dog dying, but the grief of a lot of childhood trauma and pain from my past and abuse and bullying and it all just poured up and out. And in the midst of all of that, I was able to feel my dog. I know this sounds crazy, but in the afterlife, in the most potent and powerful ways, I was so deeply woven into the flower of life weaving that everything truly is connected. Not just the life circumstances and events that happen here in the 3D, but that we are so interdimensionally connected to all that there is when we allow our hearts to open in such a vast capacity. Because if I learned anything in this last month, the frequency of grief and the frequency of love are the same frequency. And I really saw in the most humbling way how much I actually have been withholding my loving because of my fear of hurting. And when I really accessed this, I found a whole new reality, a whole new timeline. And it's not a downer. I want you to be clear, to start this year off in this unlocking series with grief at Least that's what I'm telling myself. And I'm here to tell us all because I know my community are some of the most loving women out there. I know you guys are on the path of finding your divine feminine frequency, your flow, your ease, your allowance, your trust, your peace, your joy. Those are all of your birthrights. But it is in our darkness that we find our true power. It's where we find the alchemy to transmute and transform everything that is limiting us and holding us back from living in our fullest, highest expression. You know, I had this meditation a couple days ago as I was prepping for the year and fun fact, I got a new dog. I know that sounds crazy and fast, but our holiday season was really empty and my husband and I, we went to a shelter one day over the break, just to quote, unquote, look, we really had no intention of adopting a dog. And of course we met a boy and we just knew we didn't adopt him right away. We considered it for a couple days and kept talking about it, kept thinking about it, and then called the shelter back and said he's ours. And we named him Dakota, which is the Sioux Native American word for ally and friend. And he's just this big pit bull Boston terrier. We don't even know what he is mixed. He's a big strong dog, but he's got the spirit of a dove. So we named him Dakota the Dove. And I had this meditation the other day where I saw him as a dove and the dove in my meditation exploded into a dragon. And I was like, oh, wow, I don't think his name is Dakota the Dove. I think it's Dakota the Dragon. Because the dove, while it's beautiful and soft and tender and healing and always a message from, you know, the afterlife is somewhat contained in its sweetness and its beauty and its softness and its tenderness and its love to me. And we're here at the end of the Year of the Dragon as we enter into the lunar new year at the end of this month. The dragon represents the ferocity of love, the all encompassing, non withholding, risking, unending, almighty power of love. And we really can't unlock that in our lives, that true dragon like force. If we're safe all the time, and if we're not willing to get hurt or be seen or to risk, and whether that's loving unconditionally, someone else or really yourself, your dreams, the purpose, the intentions, the mission that you have been put here to express, which is why I believe you listen to the Spiritual Hustler podcast so that you can embody more of that truth in business and in your spiritual consciousness. We can't fully do that, be that, have that hold that if we don't unlock true grief, it is a magical, exquisitely painful and beautiful portal to increase the capacity of your true unlimited potential and experience of your human life. So welcome to the Unlocking series. But I'm Ching. We're gonna start it off on a really high note. No, we did. This is what it's about. So let's continue to unlock each and every Thursday, going way deep into all of your crystalline DNA, your codes of consciousness, who you've really come here to be, and the game you've really come here to play, which is full out. All right, my beautiful Spiritual Hustlers, I'll see you on the next episode of the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Bye, guys. It.
