Episode 8: Being Psychic and Running an Intuitive Business with Aja Dasshuur

Hi, Aja. Hey, I'm so happy to be talking to you because I've been obsessed with you from afar for a really long time. And then out of the blue a couple months ago, you emailed me which was truly like manna from heaven. It was like, Goddess came down and rang my doorbell. And I was like, do you want the best gift ever? And you're like, Hey, we should know each other? Do you wanna hop on a phone call? And I was like, Oh my God, I've reached a new level of like, I feel like a celebrity right now. The spirit guide.

04:01

Can you tell

04:03

now that I fangirled in public? Can you tell everyone your like your 32nd elevator pitch about what it is that you do and who you are?

04:11

Yes, 32nd elevator pitch. I love that. So people know me as the spirit guide coach. And basically what I do every day is provide guidance of a therapeutic sort for clients, involving connecting them to their spiritual teams, their specific spirit guides, so that they can gain more clarity and insight on where they are and where they're going. And I'm also the founder of spirit house collective, which is a metaphysical collective where we connect the community to amazing magical mystical practitioners so that we can all learn more about ourselves why we're here and really learn to trust ourselves more when it comes to making decisions that are I mean, can basically lead to fulfilling our lives and our deaths.

04:52

No big deal super casual stuff, just like living your purpose.

04:57

Your destiny

05:00

Like, you're so multifaceted. I don't know how I think I told you this the first time we spoke on the phone, but I was like, how do you do everything that you do? You're this incredible. Like, highly in demand facilitator and healer. You do past life regression, you are mega psychic, like we're gonna talk about being psychic and running a business because I want to hear more about that from you. But like, you're psychic, and you channel these incredible messages and you share them on Instagram. You also like mentor, what seems like hundreds of baby healers and psychics and witches that are sort of coming up in LA and abroad. And you create community you like uplift and empower It feels like every single person, like in LA. And you also just you're like releasing a tarot deck

05:47

release on it, or, yeah, yeah,

05:50

how do you do everything?

05:52

I'm just like, I feel like I'm shining. I'm just glowing from all of that love. I feel the same way about you though. Like, every time he's done something, I get an email from you to him. Like, when is she writing these emails? And with like, you know, the humor and the heart like I anyway, everything that you're saying, I'm just put, like pushing right back on you. Because it's not easy to do all these things. And I don't think I'm a really great multitasker, I have to say that. I have an incredible team that helps me to put into action, the dreams that I have, you know, and I think that has been the really like, that's, that's the backbone of everything that I do. Also, I always like to say that, I definitely believe that I embody the full card in the Tarot, which means that I am always ready to take a leap, leap of faith. I'm just like, Where's that cliff, I'll walk off it I land.

06:46

I'm gonna sing all the way off. It's gonna look amazing while I'm doing

06:51

what I'm gonna do, because if I fall, I know that I've learned something in the process. And I can just do it all over again.

06:57

Whoa, that's like, Okay, so this is where I'm like, Oh, yeah, that's why she's such a mega entrepreneur. Because those are the ovaries, as I like to say that you like have to have in order to, in order to run a business, right? We're just like, Well, fuck it, there's a really good chance that this could fail, and it would suck, and I'm gonna lose all my money, and I'm not gonna have any friends. Or it could not end up like that. Like, it could be really great. And let's just see what happens. And most people are like, no, that's a no for me. Like those things sound like one of those things doesn't sound good. And some people like you are like, it's worth it. Like I'm down, let's choose the better adventure. Do you feel like you're a better entrepreneur? Or like, you're primed to be an entrepreneur? Because of how psychic you are? Because you have that like innate? Knowing that you're always going to land on your feet?

07:46

Oh, that's such a good question. First of all, no. second thought, like without even I mean, do I talk to my guides a lot about my business? Absolutely. But I don't feel like I need to talk to them about everything. Like, if an idea comes to me, I trust myself. And that's a lot of the work that I do with clients in the community. It's like, what you're working on, when you're connecting to the spiritual connecting to the psychic connected to your guides, all you're doing is working on trusting yourself. If you want to do something, just do it. You know, like, without expectation, you know, see where it goes, because it's guaranteed to change along the way. And when I started my business, I had no idea how to run a business. I had no I had no money. Like I just was like, saying, like no money. I was working retail and I and I told myself, I'm going to save six months of half of my rent, and then quit my job and focus on you know what I want to do, knowing that I can always get another fucking retail job. You know, I might have another opportunity to take this leap of faith.

08:52

Well, you are even more prepared than I was. I didn't save I couldn't save six months. Like I just couldn't. And so yeah, but same I would just say well, I can always get an I know how to get a job. Like I've worked retail. I've worked been a waitress. I'm gonna cater waiter like I can, can always got a job. I'm like, gonna be fine. We can.

09:11

We can. We can get other jobs. And you know, and I just want to say to anyone that's listening in to this. The fool isn't always like, the fool card isn't always the best road to follow it. I mean, I moved to New York have like $50 in my bank account and got there. Well, maybe,

09:27

I don't know. Here I

09:33

hear like, like $5

09:37

you know,

09:39

where are you from? Originally? I'm

09:40

originally from New York, but I will say this I feel most at home and in California and Los Angeles, like New York is definitely for me. Like the moon card in the Tarot. I go there and immediately all the shadow stuff comes starts coming up. It I mean, it's hard for me to even get on the plane like shit happens at the airport, I'm just like, flights are delayed. I'm like New York energy is already like, we're coming through Aja,

10:05

we're gonna go.

10:07

But you know, my whole awakening started when I had moved back to New York during like a really crazy period of deep, deep depression. And I don't think I'd be where I am today, if I hadn't moved back to New York with like, $50 in my pocket to go through that process of realizing how lost I was, and how that didn't need to be the way the rest of my life felt.

10:39

That's a tweetable. Everyone who's out there, go back, rewind, write that down, put it in your notebook, got it as a tattoo, maybe like on the inside of your wrist because that is really powerful. Okay, I want to double click on this. Were you already super psychic before you had this sort of like dark night of the soul? experience,

10:58

I had a lot of experiences as a child, I saw spirits and ghosts all the time. And then around, I would say my eighth grade freshman year of high school, I just completely shut it down. I didn't want anything to do with it. And what's interesting about the brain is that you can really forget, like, I forgot all of those experiences. I completely like when people would talk about like ghosts, you know, at a party, I would just, you know, like, tune in like, like, wow, ghosts weird. Completely. And it would like once in a while my mom would bring something up, like remember when you were talking to so and so in the corner? And I'm like, oh, gotcha. I mean, that's, you know, but until my you know, that depression in New York and I went to see a shaman, I think it was my 33rd birthday, when I was just like, something's got a Something's got to give, you know, something's change, that all of these memories started coming back. And that would also scare the shit out of me. I was like, Wow, I've shut down so much, that I've completely forgotten the magic that I was connected to. And oh, that's awesome. That Okay, and how many I'm sure there are so many kids and teenagers, young adults, mature adults who have forgotten through circumstances, trauma, or just, you know, pure denial, forgotten how magical they are and the options that that they have.

12:19

Right? It's kind of like our built in protection systems are not as discerning as we wish they could be right? They sweep the good along with this sort of shadowy and scary inside of us and make it really hard to unlock. I bet there are a lot of people out there who are like, wait, wait, wait, I want to hear more about that. But like, did you have not a lot of memories of your childhood? Like period? No, for this time? Or did you? Was it just the sort of like sort of spooky or more psychic? Yeah, experiences that

12:48

massive like, night terrors fear, I spent almost every night like tiptoeing into their room, due to people, you know, being in my room, I use air quotes there, and just feeling scared a lot of the time. So I think that's really what it was. And then I would have premonitions as well. And I was like, this is just like, I'm just trying to be as normal as possible. I want to live that Beverly Hills manner to know. And I school in junior high. Like just, you know, much, you know, until Actually, I saw the craft, you know, opening night software, a classic classic. I went and I was like, oh, wow, there are people that are kind of like me, and it seems to be okay, but this is the movie right? So like what it was, you know, and even then, though after like the initial high of that movie came out, I was like, in back in the closet. I

13:43

go. Yeah. Well, I imagine if you didn't have anyone around, you kind of knew what that was, like, who could you even talk to about it?

13:52

I mean, my parents were pretty open about it, but I don't think they necessarily knew what to do about it, either. They were very Oh, that's interesting. You know, what do you think about that? And I was like, I don't know, like I'm, or

14:05

you're the grown up, you?

14:07

vividly remember. And I'm sure you've experienced this, you know, now we're like, you wake up in the middle the night there's no reason why you're just awake. And I vividly remember being 12 years old and waking up and seeing like an old man standing in my doorway, and being so terrified when I got up and ran through him to my parents are like, so scared that I was like, I don't

14:31

feel like I'm gonna throw up that is like, no and that a lot. Yeah,

14:35

it's not what you want to. And then I later found out that I was sleeping like my bedroom and was I drew a picture of him and my mother showed it to our neighbor who lived in the building for like 40 years or something. She's like, Oh, that's Mr. Stone. So Aja's room was actually his home office. Stop. Like, yeah, no, done. like not to

14:57

get me out. No thing.

15:00

Interesting that I was like, No, mom. That's fine. Like,

15:07

always right. But that's really cool. I have to give your parents like major props because they could have been like, stop like or shamed you for it right? I love their mom was like, isn't that interesting? Oh man. So when that sort of like that part of you got hidden inside, and then you had this period of depression where you sort of unlocked debt. Mm hmm. Like that's so common. So many people I talked to her, like, all my intuitive not so common, but I got so intuitive after like this horrible breakup where I like, you know, every thought my entire life was gonna fall apart, or like, when I did go through like serious clinical depression, on the other side of it, I found my intuition. Not that like, you have to go through these horrible experiences, which I don't wish upon anyone, me experiencing many of those types of things were like a horrible health scare. But it's interesting how something can come out of that, that it leaves you more connected to who you are,

16:02

definitely, it breaks you open, like, and also the more vulnerable emotionally you're feeling the more open you are to spirits and, and to the unseen. So it totally makes sense that corresponds with, you know, trauma, deaths, you know, depression, you're also you know, more willing to see beyond the veneer. Know, you're able to kind of go deeper, just instinctually again, you're not willing to swallow what everyone else just like, you know, Hey, how are you doing? I'm fine. I'm fine, too, you know, just the the programming, you know, you're like, this is bullshit. Like, there's, you know, and sometimes that can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. I mean, some most of the time, but you're right, you do come out on the other end, with a deeper understanding of your own truth, which I think is a major reason why we're all here living this life.

16:54

Yeah, it's almost like your everything that you believed in, that was real, is no longer real to you anymore. And so that's really disorienting and scary, because you're like, what the fuck am I supposed to believe? Like, I thought the ground was under my feet. But it turns out, it's the other way. And like, nothing makes sense anymore. But it makes you question everything makes you question the people around you and how you relate to them, and how you're perceived by the world and how you perceive the world. And that's where you can have these crazy breakthroughs, where like, Oh, I'm actually hearing people are seeing people or something else.

17:26

Yes, yes. And I love that you mentioned, yeah, people can definitely fall away when you're going through an awakening. And I have clients who get very, like, you know, nervous about that, you know, they're like, I can't connect with my friends anymore anymore, and my partner or my family, and I want to be clear about like, yes, there might be people that fall away. But that doesn't mean they fall away forever. You're almost like taking different trains on a different track. And then you can come back around, you know, I have friends that fell away. And now they've come back, I just needed to take that time. They couldn't meet me where I was trying to go. And that's okay.

18:00

That's beautifully said, that's a scary thing about growth is that you're not sure who's going to grow with you, and who's going to grow apart from you. No matter if you've decided to take a vow, that means that says you're gonna grow together, like, it could mean that you you know, you don't, you're not in control of that all the time. But that's not a reason not to grow. Because you're afraid that you'll grow away from people, like you're gonna grow regardless. Totally. It's really scary. Like, if all you feel like you have in this world are your relationships. And that can be really intimidating.

18:31

Definitely. I mean, and I would say to that, then that means that you haven't become your own friend, enough. Like, you know, you haven't, that bond needs to be worked on. Because that's the most, that's the bond that everything branches off from.

18:45

That's so true. And I wonder if you know, because we've had this quarantine experience globally, for the last nine months, do you feel like people are befriending themselves? Like, do you think we have, like a global group of people be like, I got some of my own BFF. Now,

19:00

I think so. And I think for a lot of people, it's been incredibly upsetting. And, yeah, I'm sure you know, some there. You know, we all know some people that like, don't want to be alone, don't want to give themselves time to think don't want to go inward at all, they need the need the social interaction, they need the noise. So this is probably been incredibly tough, but also, so probably insightful as well, in terms of like the missing pieces like that they were filling with these things that don't really matter. Like, of course, connection, being social, all of those things have so much value to them. If there's an issue of you being with yourself for an extended period of time. Then there's another layer of work that needs to be you know, deep into Yeah,

19:45

yeah, like, bro, you're all that you really got. So you got to get used to being with yourself, for sure.

19:54

You just said something that made me think about your business and being like Busy because you do so many things. And I feel like you and I are a little bit cut from the same cloth. When quarantine hit we were like, oh, everyone else is taking a break. Oh yeah, okay, I'm just gonna like triple my business and what I do Oh, no, no, no, it's fine like you should rest, but like 1000 more things not to like totally drag you but I'm there with you like, we're dragging ourselves but you are taking a big break and like I feel like it is with spirit house and you're focusing on your own work and all the spirit coach work. That is such a like baller move just like first and foremost be like, No, I'm not pausing this part of my work like oh my god, Oprah. Okay, I incredible. That's an Oprah move. But how is this quarantine? Like, what is it showing you about your work that led you to that point?

20:54

Yes, it showed me how unbalanced my life had become, not just for me, but for my staff, the idea of always pushing pushing to whatever this invisible next level was supposed to be. It's just not sustainable. The idea of the community to this, so we need to provide this this community to this, which I love. Like, I love doing that. But then at the end of the day, my team and I were left with, you know, like nothing in the tank for ourselves. So and I want to say that, but also, you know, on my last birthday, when I was in Joshua Tree, before the pandemic hit, I heard one of my guides say, you know, you should think about closing spirit house. And I was like, That's ridiculous. And like,

21:40

yet, I hear no one asked you a

21:45

why you brought that up. And it just felt like if I want spirit house to actually continue to grow and be an example of the way not only the way businesses can can run, the way that they can provide support for not just the community, but for their staff, the people that keep the lights on and make sure that there are workshops to click on and information to learn from and spaces of healing, then I need to be able to provide that space of healing for us. And the only way to do that was for me to decide that we needed basically a long sabbatical, you know, I mean, we're probably going to be reopening in late spring or summer. And I want to restructure things. So it's just as nurturing on both sides of the fence, if that makes sense. And there was a lot of grief with that, like, I was like this is people are going to be upset, and what am I doing and, you know, the bipoc community, you know, needs this right now. And I was like, wait, I'm part of the bipoc.

22:45

I need a right now.

22:47

Hold on, I need some time. And I deserve that. And there are so many people that are doing great work. And I'll make sure that spirit house and in terms of just social media was that we still are leading people in the right direction until we come back.

23:01

Yeah, I don't know, I have a very different perspective on business. And I think a lot of people, I think we both probably hold many of the same values around running anti capitalist businesses and building communal businesses that are actually supportive and generative, as opposed to like degenerative and yeah, like sucking the life force energy out of the people that are running them. That's like the opposite of anything that I want my fingerprints on anything like I don't want that associated with who I am and what I do. And I think that what you're doing is so intelligent and so intuitive, and probably exactly what's going to be needed to be done as we have we go into the second lockdown period as well. So I'm excited to see where spirit house what the rebirth looks like. Because I don't think that this is an end in any way at all. Again, your points are no yeah, you should please please this one. She's got mad plans. I'm not worried about that. But I'm so I think it'll be so interesting to see how you restructure. And I think that there's something really powerful about putting your foot down and saying this is not what I do not consent to not feeling supported, or to my team not being supported. I will no longer stand for this. Even when it's like not super extreme, right? Like, I'm sure everyone was getting taken care of. Everyone was getting paid. You guys were getting rest, but maybe not as much rest as you should. It wasn't to a level where you're like this is untenable. This is unsustainable, and to be able to like sort of hold it before it gets there and say wait a second. No, this is going down the wrong path and I'm not interested in perpetuating this. I want something better I want something new. Again. It's such a baller move Aja like it's really cool.

24:40

Well, I do want to point out that you know, like I want spirit house to be as transparent as possible and to whatever some of the things that you said. We were like the staff wasn't making the amount of money that they should have been making. I wasn't getting a salary at all. You know like this is spirit house for all the work at Does for all the countries it's connected to, was not generating the income that was going to allow us to continue at the rate that we were going. And if the financial infrastructure couldn't be there to support the output that my staff was giving, I had no choice but to say, then we need to stop this train and rebuild it in a different way. Because everyone deserves to get what they deserve. I deserve to get, you know, whether it's more rest or some type of financial compensation for the years that I Yeah, exactly. For the years that I put into this, you know, that wasn't in the cards in this specific moment, I believe that that absolutely can happen, there are other collectors that I know, that are struggling, they're like, everything looks great on the outside, but like, we want me money, I don't know how we're gonna do this. And I've been putting things together. And I'm sure you know, we've spit and taken and fit and taped only goes apart before your mouth runs dry. You know. So this is an opportunity, it's an opportunity for me, because of all of the information I now have collected, I have to not just reevaluate, but create an easier way for us to offer healing. There's actually like, my, one of my guides is showing me something after offering healing for the entire body versus for just like one arm or one leg.

26:26

Yeah. I mean, again, I'm just gonna, like, compliment you the whole time, if that's okay with you, but I think it's great. I just think it's so wise of you to instead of doing something like saying, we're gonna run a crowdfunding campaign, or we're gonna try and get investors, or we're gonna, like, we're gonna pour more money into this thing that's kind of, maybe it's kind of leaking energy, right? And isn't feeling exactly right, or is it feeling like as healthy as it possibly could feel to say, Actually, let's just take a break. Like, let's look at this, again, let's restructure this, like, let's figure out a more creative way for this to work. Because I think most people would be like, how do we just get more money to like, keep sort of limping along? Yeah. And while I don't want to, like, you know, give shade towards that, because if you feel like that's right for your business, do it. We just want to point out like shine a light that there's another way that doesn't have to be the only option. Because that option can be that's like running on adrenaline to me, right? Where you're just like, Oh, I'm just trying to find a solution right now. And like, we need to get money, and I don't know how to get it. And I guess we'll like do a crowdfunding. And, yeah, that just sounds so stressful. And that's a scarcity mindset, which I've been struggling with since I was, you know, a teenager, and I just don't think it's necessary. Right? Now,

27:39

we have an amazing community, our community isn't going anywhere. And your community is also I'm like, I feel so blessed and coming from like, just me alone in my living room to so many people, and whatever we decide, they're going to support it. And again, like I said, I've got ideas. I'm just also giving myself the permission to not like, manifest or create the idea or work on it, and have it ready to launch in three weeks instead say, Take four or five, six months.

28:08

Yeah, it shouldn't be a luxury. But it kind of feels like a luxury sometimes, just, but it's good. It's really good business. And more importantly, it's like, that's what's good for your soul. That's what's good for your intuition. Do you know what you are and Human Design

28:24

now? And you're like the sixth person that's asked me and I should find out?

28:30

Yeah, you should find out well, if I know your birthdate, like all your birth, chart info, send me it. And I'll look it up for you. Because I have, I have the software. Not like I'm a human design person. I really don't know that much about it. But I'm just like, perennially curious. So I love to learn more. But I wonder what you are because some different types are like, you know, they need to have five or six different projects in the works. And like put one aside for a little bit and focus on another one. And then while they're doing that, it's like something's percolating in the background. And then all of a sudden, that lightning bolt of intuition comes through and they're like, Alright, ready to take the next leap on the project that's been on the back boiler for a while. So I wonder if that's you?

29:08

Well, I was trying to figure out if I could just like figure it out online while we're talking. But it doesn't know like, Oh, yeah. The like, how do you find out here?

29:17

There's a website called Jovian archive, I think. And that's free and you just put all your birth data in.

29:26

Oh, my gosh, look at this. Am I do is this wrong? You right now?

29:30

No, do right now. I would, I would love the reveal on the podcast. Let's do it. I'm

29:35

feeling it right now. Oh, wait, I've got to just check the time I was born which I also have ready to go on here.

29:45

In in good intuitive form. I mean, good natal chart form.

29:49

And let's see might time might be a few minutes off. I

29:51

do have to say, I think that should be okay for your type. Yeah,

29:56

it says I'm a manifesting generator.

29:58

That's what I thought. You are

30:00

That's so you're like all the different things I'm so jealous you have the most energy. Oh, this is I'm so jealous. You're the same as my my partner, Ethan, he's in a manifesting generator too. And you just like, love to have all these projects going and you have to do what lights you up. And as soon as something doesn't light you up anymore, you're like, later lasers, I'm out like you gotta quit whatever you're doing totally, or else it just won't happen. But you can do like anything and you have all the energy in the world to do it. I'm so jealous.

30:28

On a mantra to myself, I can do anything. I yeah.

30:36

I can, I can call you and record that if you would like

30:41

to what a great mantra, we

30:42

all use that thing.

30:44

You can do anything good. Yeah, I like to say to my students, you're an intuitive business genius. Like anytime you feel stuck, like you're a business genius, like you've got this? Because you are. You're a manifesting generator. So I'm already jealous of you for all the reasons, but we can tack that one onto the list. So I feel like that's a great segue into how you use your intuition in your work. And you kind of said alluded to this earlier, but you're like, not like consulting my guides for like, should I write this email or not? So how does like running your business? intuitively? Do you use like specific tools or skills? Or is it kind of just like free flowing? And then when it comes to the big decisions or choices, you're like, Yo, Yo, what's up? Like, what's happening?

31:24

I think that's a really great question. I have to say that in the beginning, when I first started my business, my guys are super active. So Mike, one of my guys was the first one that said, I should combine life coaching with, you know, the ability to connect people to their guides. I was like, Whoa, that sounds really scary. And like, people will think I'm a freak, and I could be sighs. And then when my guides also said that I should start a spirit, you know, like a metaphysical collective. And I was like, I don't even know what a collective is. Okay, you know, and I said yes to both those things. But I do believe that since my trust has grown so much in myself and my connection to them, that I believe that I have a really clear channel. So if I get an idea, I just want to follow through with it. You know, there's a reason it's not just dropping out of the sky. And that's also what spirit guides talk to me a lot about, you know, with the clients that I have, it's, you're asking for information, you're asking for input, you're asking for this guidance, you're asking for the signs. And then the question is, but what are you going to do with them? Now that you haven't, I mean, so many people go to tarot readings, or, you know, I don't know that although,

32:28

I roll I wish I could record the ireal that I just saw from you, which was amazing.

32:37

So many people just do to do to do go about their day. And I tell them, what was that more what I mean, this is, you know, this is sacred, this is guidance, you know, even if it's just from your higher self, which is, you know, you're just at its purest form, you have to activate that, you know, otherwise, nothing's going to change.

32:56

Yeah, that's so true. I feel like that's when people first start tapping into their intuition. It's almost just like shock and awe that they can get messages, right of like, Whoa, wild. And it's information and you have to use like, it's all just information, it's not happening, right, we need to put it in motion. And we get to choose what we want to do with that information, right? So you can decide to act on it if you want. And you can also give it the double middle finger and be like, I don't care, like, yes, but like, it's information, just like the data from your business's information. And you can view it equally as I think you and I like to write like, give it equal weight. Some people will give it less weight, their intuition less weight than what they can see, some people will give their intuition more weight than the reality that they see in the world, or the proof that they see in the world. But at the end of the day, like we have free will do whatever we want with that.

33:51

Like you're taking the words. Yeah, I mean, that's what I tell clients. In the beginning, I, I say I'm not a mystic that believes that everything's set in stone, you know, whatever your guides have to offer you, you can completely change the trajectory of what they're saying. And they'll adjust accordingly, with whatever, you know, whatever direction that you choose to go in. I don't know. That's also why when I think about, you know, Taro, or Oracle readings, or any type of clairvoyant readings, I mean, I don't even call the work, I do readings, you know, their sessions. I'm not, you know, reading somebody, you know, this is their work, you know, you're coming in, wanting to have a cop conversation with me, to talk to your guides to figure out what it is you're doing, so that you feel stronger and more able to create what it is that you want in your life, period. That's it. I'm not going to, you know, tell your fortune. I'm not going to lay out like who your next employer is going to be or when you're going to meet your soulmate. Because all of them just depends on what you want to do for yourself. And if you feel strong enough to walk towards that, and you might not right at this moment,

34:51

right, and it's not an indictment against you. If you decide you don't want to or you're not ready, like you're not going to get penalized, newer We're

35:00

not you're not, you're not, but and I let people know that just as you said, you know, we have free will and you're gonna and your guides are going to offer you information again, because time for them as a sphere, everything's happening at once that you might not even understand what they're talking about in this moment. But as the days and weeks unfold, certain things will begin to click into place. It's about being open to receiving. And that channel you might have, it might be close, like, I've definitely had people. I'm so blessed and lucky and like lucky, like it's very few and far between why start, you know, telling them what the guides are saying they're

35:31

like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Okay, well, then you're just not ready. And that's totally okay. Wait, people will come and pay you money to to connect with their guides, and then they'll be like, thanks, but No, thanks. Not necessarily like

35:43

that more about I've had people come in, that are like, hey, I want to meet my soulmate. I'm like, Oh, you want a fortune teller? That's not what I do. Okay. Let's see how this goes. We go a few minutes. Okay, so when am I gonna meet my soulmate? Oh, I guess you didn't hear me the first time. I'm not. I'm not a magic eight ball. That's not what they do. Like. Also, if you asked me this, obviously some work that needs to be done and your guides are trying to talk. Alright, okay. Okay. I'm like, do you want to end the call? Now I can give you a refund. You know, what do you need to do? No, no, no, I'm still here. Okay, two minutes go by. So what am I gonna meet meet my soulmate? Okay. Not on this fucking call. I can tell you that.

36:18

In a meet, I can tell you about it right now.

36:21

Definitely. And it's, you know, obviously fear. They're like, will I meet the one? Will I have connection? Will I have love? And again, it brings me back to that question about, there are pieces that are missing, or have been damaged or crushed or torn apart within the self that says the only thing that can fill it is the energy of another person. And that's honestly probably what your guides are going to be taught, you know, but not because you don't deserve love, not because there's not a partner out there. But there's some other things that are just honestly more important right now that you're not looking at,

36:57

yeah, you could meet your soulmate tomorrow, but you might not be ready for them, if you can't address that, right? Because, like, they're not there to complete you. They're there to be their own person, and you're here to be your own person. And if you're gonna put that on them, they're probably gonna lose them, you know?

37:12

Yes, yes. And then you're gonna have to repeat this whole thing again. You know, like we're trying to get through. Come back when we're incarnated again, we're like, oh, I can check that off my fucking list.

37:24

Did that last time? I feel like you're so well versed in that because you do past life regression, which is one of my most favorite things that I've ever done in all of all the things I've ever tried past life regression, I think is the thing that blows me away away the most. And I have like the most vivid memories of even, you know, six or seven years later. How did you get into that?

37:45

I remember reading, Dr. Brian wises many lives, many masters when I was about him, so good. And our 11 been really interested in it. Yeah, I was like, this is really interesting. I don't really understand what this is, what's happening, but it seems really interesting. And then when I before I, you know, was really started being connected psychically, I knew that I wanted to be trained in hypnosis of some sort, because I believe that that could really help people kind of overcome some false narratives and really get to the root of things. And then once you know, I really stepped into my psychic work, I thought, Well, why don't we go further into past life regression, because I feel like I mean, as human beings, we want to tie things up in a bow, we want to see a pattern, we want to be able to connect things logically to what's happening in our life now, and I believe past life regression can do that it can offer answers that we might not be able to get with our conscious mind in the here and now. So I signed up to take a course with Dr. Brian Weiss, which was fuckin like bananas. I was like, this is like a dream come true. Oh, my God, that's so cool. Oh, he's just he has Jesus energy. It's really crazy. Like he's really young, and kind and quiet and thoughtful. person just, I don't even know. Like, he blew me away, like his energy was so

39:13

this energy.

39:14

Yeah, I don't think I've ever even thought that about anyone except for him. You know, just in the sense that zero ego, like just no ego, like, here's what I believe, and I'm going to share it with you and we'll see what happens. And also one of the most brilliant like psycho analysts like his resume is insane.

39:34

He's done so much. He's also trained. So many people like the fact his work has changed the lives of millions of people,

39:42

millions and millions of people. And one of the things he said is that which I love, which I believe all of us it's not a shortcoming. It's a sign of strength is the ability to evolve and he said, when I first started this work, only analysts, therapists were allowed to take this course No and I love now most, I will say in the course that I took most of the people there were all psychoanalysts and therapists and hypnotherapists but you know, there were also a handful of, you know, mediums and he's like, I love mediums. Like I love I love it. So taking that course was amazing and obviously now during this pandemic, you know, the way that you know, I work with with clients and past oppression is very different. It's very meditative and you know, journey asked versus just taking someone to a you know, a trance or hypnotic state, but I've seen it just work wonders, which is now I, especially with again, with the year we're having, I'm focusing on, you know, future life progression so that people can really put themselves in a future say, you know, again, if someone was like, I want to see my soulmate, well, let's put you in a future life. Where you've met that soulmate. What does that feel? Where? Know? What is it? You're feeling good about yourself? What kind of person are you? What are you learning in that life that you can take to this present?

41:01

Oh my god, that's so cool. Okay, now, I just need to go a little bit deeper on this with you because I fucking love this shit. I love multiverse theory. I love string theory, I love the idea that we're living in simultaneous universes that are, you know, sort of beside each other, and that we can dip in and out of them and experience them all at the same time. Because time is a flat circle.

41:23

Yes. Is that what you're doing when you're future progressing someone Are you like, basically moving them into an alternate universe, either we're moving into of life that they haven't incarnated into yet, or for focusing on moving into a period of time within this life, we're looking at through a portal. And I believe there are millions of portals, you know, that we could like put ourselves into. So it's like, what is the one that I really actually want to invest in. And that when you're putting yourself like, say, five years down the line, when you're done, like six months down the line, now that you have that information, you can focus that energy more in the present in order to push yourself into that portal, versus kind of like just letting the universe take you wherever, you know, like kind of like a, like a ship, you know, just floating with no with no direction.

42:09

Oh my god, you're speaking my language. I just had a class called portals. And it was about intuitive business. And I pegged sure portals is like, if you ever worn like ballet tights, or just tights, I guess regular old tights. And when you get a little tiny hole. I don't know why I went straight to ballet. But when you get a hole and you can like put your finger through the hole, and that can either get really really big or you can kind of actually like smooth out the fabric and make the whole kind of go away. As like, what portals are right where you're like, I actually just want to like squeeze through this one and like go into this other universe of this other reality, because I'm like saying yes to it. Oh, okay, you This is so exciting. Oh, my God, your your books open soon, right?

42:51

My books are going on December. Oh, I was happens even like, friends of mine that live on the west side? I'm like, are they in another portal completely?

42:59

You know, like,

43:03

it's, and then

43:03

we are living different realities right now.

43:07

Oh, totally different realities. You know, and then we'll come together for a moment. You know, our portals will connect, our timelines will connect, and then we'll you know, we'll go back out. Yeah, it's really interesting. I also think about, like, a version of myself, who someone's talking to you about, you know, mediumship. And this other version of me is like, this person's fucking crazy. Do you hear that this person is talking about me. And then I'm here like, living my best life talking to dead people. But yeah, my books open on December 14.

43:37

So y'all got your future progression?

43:40

Haha. Yeah, it's, um, oh, I mean, and but I do, I just want to look for anyone that's listening. I do hold like group future and past life regressions every month. So don't ever feel like you're missing the boat or the train, it'll always be available. Because I feel like that that work is just super powerful.

43:59

That's amazing. We did a past life regression. My whole team got to do it. But we did it for our north node community. And it was one of the most, which is our sort of membership community with intuitive entrepreneurs and leaders. And so it was incredible to do that together with each other. And then to just hear what came up for everyone. It was, oh my god, it's so fucking fun. It's so cool. It brings up a lot. The lessons that you pick up are so deep, yeah, it's nothing like you would imagine. I think if you're, if you're hesitant to try past life regression, I would say jump in. It's really fun and cool. And if you've lost someone if you'd like if you're experiencing grief right now, which I think so many people are, for obvious reasons. There's a lot of death in the country right now and in the world. But that was what brought me to past life regression experienced like a bunch of traumatic deaths and ended up reading Dr. Brian Weiss his book and then got obsessed with it. And it was Everything and more than I needed, I don't think I would have survived that period of my life if I didn't have that to hold on to. So if you're going through some sort of grief, I would like to push you to go join Aja's class or try to connect with Aja because I think that would be really a beautiful experience for you. Oh, thank

45:15

you. Yes, please come and join us. You know, also, the idea of, you know, your community, my community, community, in general, being a place that I feel like it's become so much more, quote unquote, acceptable to share these experiences to not just be alone in your room in the dark, like, if your deck like, is anyone watching, you know, or like, a past life regression. I mean, I love when I mean, again, post pre pandemic, when I would go out somewhere, and I would hear someone talking about like Shadow Work or like their spirit guides, or the Akashic records. I'm like, yeah, cuz I remember sitting at a table talking about like, possession and stuff. And, you know, the people next to me staring at me and the person across from me going,

45:59

I was like, Fuck that,

46:00

you know? What I should like, Listen, it's fine for me to listen to this person that their dog loved dogs, you know, dog for like, 45 minutes, but I can't talk about like the gym last night where I was, like, barely alive from my past. Right?

46:14

Come on,

46:15

people. Don't be selfish. Let me let me share my shit. Yeah, I agree with you. I think this is such a cool time to be just like being a multi dimensional human being where you can talk about mediumship and the Akashic records and you can also talk about having like a p&l for your business and running an intuitive business and being an anti capitalist and also doing other work in your community like and loving TV at the same time. Right? Like, we can be all the things we don't have to just be like, spiritual people living up on a mountain who don't believe in Wi Fi, right. Like, that's bullshit. No, I want all the things, you know. Yeah.

46:55

I want internet.

46:59

I want it I want high speed internet. Okay. And I want really good clothes and makeup. God damn it.

47:05

That's what I want.

47:06

Okay, yeah.

47:12

Oh, my gosh, I could talk to you for 100 million hours. But I know that you're good. You're doing a million things. So I need to give. I need to show you what the rest.

47:19

You're doing a million things to Don't lie. Come on. You're doing a million things to you. We're both like we're both like an hour and a half. And then we have to go on to the next thing on our to do list.

47:31

Well, I'm technically on the East Coast right now. So it's a little bit later for me. So

47:35

you need to eat dinner? Oh, yeah,

47:39

I need to I'm leaving New Hampshire today. We've been in New Hampshire for the last month, my partner and I and we're driving back to LA tomorrow. So we're cleaning. We're cleansing the house. We're saying thank you. We've been living on this lake. It's actually been like the most amazing experience. I feel so so so lucky. And so we have to like go say thank you to the lake and to the trees into the house for like holding us for the last couple of weeks together. But before we go, do you have any juicy hot takes or unpopular opinions? Actually, I feel like we did share a lot of great unpopular opinions that around the wellness or well being space or the spiritual space that you're down to air on the 12th house podcast.

48:18

I don't know. I mean, I've been thinking about this. I don't know if this is a super unpopular opinion. I know I've gotten my share of you know, flack for this. But the idea that if you're spiritual, you should be only be connecting to light and love, or the idea that if you're a spiritual person, you know, you should be calm and collected and angry. And that is like such bullshit. Like, I believe like emotions are powerful. And anger can be such an incredible release and expressing that anger can really unlike or that can be generated and navigated into so many other avenues of abundance and clarity and love for self. So you know, I also don't believe like spirit being spiritual is just one thing. It is just as we talked about multiple dimensions. It's multifaceted. However you connect to spiritual ism, go for it, and I'll do the same.

49:13

I love that. That's perfect. Yeah, I would say, don't trust anyone who's not angry right now. Cuz they're, like, maybe no shade to sociopaths. But like, Come on. Don't Don't do that. Right now,

49:29

like, come on. This is the time to be angry. And, you know, raise voice and to, you know, share that like we're all fuckin angry. You know, we're all

49:39

there's a lot to be angry about like, and that's, that's awesome. And feeling the depth of your emotions is fucking baller. It's cool. So don't run away from it.

49:49

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. All of that.

49:54

Beautiful, I love that unpopular opinion and I adore you and all the work that you do. Your books open very, very soon so people can find you at the spirit guide, Coach calm and on Instagram at the spirit guide coach, right?

50:10

spirit guide, coach or collective?

50:14

Yeah, both and we'll drop all the links into the show notes. So I know you're definitely in love with Aja right now if you made it all the way through this podcast. So go stalker on the internet go become BFFs. You also can I think, can you still support the true wellness program in our offseason, you're going to be donating to spirit house collective so

50:33

that we can continue to pay the bills and make the changes necessary. But you will be supporting a woman of color led business and bipoc led you know, team. And then once our you know, once we open again, the true wellness program, which offers free healing to the bipoc community for white and white passing people to sponsor bipoc helium that will definitely be open once again.

50:58

Cool. So that's another way if you're a white, white passing person you can connect with and support Ajas work. And if you are lucky enough to get in her books this time around, because she only opens her books a couple times a year. I'm so jealous of you already. But run, don't walk to make sure you're on her email list. So you get the notification when her books open.

51:20

Yes.

51:23

Cool. Well,

51:24

this was so so fun. It was so great to talk to you and hear all your genius musings. We're so lucky in LA to have someone like you during the work that you do. And honestly, like on this planet, just having someone like you. So thank you for being yourself and being your break it bring being your bright, shiny self. Oh,

51:43

thank you for having me here. It's honestly it's an honor to be to be talking to you to be sharing, you know, ideas to be sharing our stories. We need more of that. And the work that you're doing is so important as well. There's a reason that you and I are connected. There's a reason that our communities are growing and growing. It's because people are becoming more inspired to follow their heart.

52:06

It's pretty cool to be a part of.

52:08

Yes, it's amazing. Where are we? I'm sure we all knew each other and past lives. And we're like, here we go.

52:15

Oh, you guys again. Hey, Hey, everyone, what's up? Awesome. Well, thank you so much. Aja, I have you hope you have a good rest of your night and you can rest a little bit.
