She's the birthday girl, so we get to spend her birthday with her, which is such an honor. Um, and I think it's super fun to just come on here and have this conversation and see where things go.

So beautiful. So welcome again, Justina. Thank you so much. I am, I'm so excited to continue our discussion, but to have it focused on you. So I'd love to start by just talking about your journey to reiki and becoming a healer. What, what can you share with us about
Justina Sharp: that? Okay. So thank you again Cara, so much for having me on your show.
I wow. My journey into healing. So I think as a young child, I was always drawn to help others in some way, shape or form. I was forever putting bandaids on people, um, whether they needed it or not, and, um, and my dolls and animals, you know, all those kinds of things. And over the years, um. I had learned about nursing as a child, so I got kind of drawn into that.
And Reiki itself was pretty amazing. I had a moment where, um, [00:03:00] it, I was working as a nurse and there was a social worker that I was working with and another, um, medical professional. Well, the medical professional had a really bad headache that day, and the social worker came in to the room that we were in and she just put her hands on her crown and closed her eyes for a few minutes, and I could see.
The facial grimacing and everything start to release in this, this lady. And I thought, what kind of weird voodoo voodoo are you doing? And I was like, what you doing to her? What are you doing to her? And this was several years ago, probably. Gosh, I don't even know. 20 plus years ago, I guess. Uh, so anyway, and she said, you know, she said, just calm down.
You're gonna learn how to do it too. And I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm not doing any kind of weird stuff like that. And a little bit later, I wanna say it was like the next day, I can't remember now, but uh, I was driving in the car and. They were talking about something and they mentioned reiki on the [00:04:00] radio.
Now this is 20 plus years ago. Oh gosh. Seriously? Gosh. I dunno that I've heard it on the radio now. Yeah. So it definitely caught my attention and I thought, what? What did she, she put something spell on me or something like, how did this happen? So then a couple days later I went for this massage and I was still looking forward to this massage.
Everything is going great. And then I was on my back. And my eyes are closed. You know, I'm kind of just about falling asleep and all of a sudden I feel this heat over my abdomen. And then I get this instant feeling of I wanna fight and I'm not like a fighter, but I was like mad. I was like, and I opened my eyes.
I said, what are you doing to me? Like, I feel like I'm ready to like fight, like, you know, and, and she's like, oh, sorry, I was gonna mention to you, but like. I just keep feeling like I need to talk to you about reiki and I was, I thought, what the, this is crazy. I said, is that what you were just doing [00:05:00] on me?
I said, next thing you gotta warn somebody. 'cause I was ready to, yeah. What I found out was apparently there was a lot of crap, uh, I wasn't willing to let go of that was in there and her loving energy that she was trying to assist me with. Uh, was starting to lower my defenses and I think that I had worked years and years at stuffing things down, which I'm sure other people can relate and, uh, and that.
That was it. I mean, after that she said, you know, there's a class coming up this weekend. I really want you to go with me to it. And I said, well, I guess I might as well because it keeps getting rubbed in my face. So if I don't go, I'm just gonna hear it more. And I was mad about that too. Um, might have something to do with the Virgo in me, I don't know.
But, uh, I typically like to run the show. I don't wanna be told what to do. Um. [00:06:00] Boy, that's been a humbling experience along the spiritual path, to be clear. So I took the class and, um, I instantly, uh, right as we got to start practicing, I saw a gentleman at the photo of the bed that was not a live person.
Uh, and he was in, I think it was World War I unifor uniform. I was like blinking and blinking. And I had had experience somewhat like that with my grandfather when I was 10. But, uh, I just thought, oh crap, you know, I've already started nursing school at this point and almost finished with nursing school and now I'm seeing something that's not there, like, you know.
And this was during the reiki training or the sentence? Yes. This was, so we had our very first attunement and then we went to practice.
Kara Goodwin: Okay.
Justina Sharp: And like the very first time practicing, there's like four of us around someone we're doing it and [00:07:00] there's some dead guy, for lack of better words, at the foot of the bed, you know?
Wow. And I thought, oh gosh. Oh gosh, I'm losing it. So I closed my eyes really tight, like that was gonna make it go away. Um, then I, then I realized quickly that I could still see it with my eyes really closed.
Kara Goodwin: Oh, interesting. 'cause I
Justina Sharp: would see it in my third eye and I thought, okay, well, closing my eyes really tight, isn't helping.
And the lady next to me was assisting with the class and she, she said, you saw him, didn't you? And I, I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything. And she's like, yes, you did. I saw your reaction. And so afterwards she talked to me a little bit and she'd seen the same thing she did. She did. She had been assisting with teaching for like 10 years or so.
So she, you know, she's like, I, it's okay. I want you to know you're all right. Everything's okay. And, and I was like, I am not all right. That person was not there. Like, I, I like, I don't know what's [00:08:00] happening. Anyway, she said, well, sometimes when you learn these different disciplines, it can open up other things.
You know, when we give ourself that time, like I think you mentioned on my podcast of giving yourself just a few minutes of being versus doing. There are amazing things that can happen, right? So it just kind of took off from there. And then I just started going up the different levels and, uh, I had a period of my life where I tried to kind of shut it out and I, I was like, Nope.
Can't do it. I, I'm just, no, not for me. Um, I think a lot of the, I'm not good enough. Imposter syndrome things started happening and I was, uh, a mom with two little ones at that, at that point, and. Then I was guided to go to a spiritual retreat and, um, sorry this is turning into a long story, but I'm almost done.
Fascinating, guided to go to the spiritual retreat, which I fought the [00:09:00] whole time as well. And so I kept feeling the nudge to Google spiritual retreat near me and I thought, okay, I'll Google it, but like, obviously there's not gonna be one. I mean, I just argue with myself constantly. Finally, I, I do come across one, one comes up, the very top one, right?
And it's like 45 minutes from me, and it's the following weekend. And I'm like, well, obviously this will be perfect because I can call. They weren't, they won't have any openings, right? So I did my due, due due diligence, right? So I call and I pray the whole time. No one answers. And, uh. I get voicemail and I'm like, this is amazing.
Perfect. And so I get voicemail and I said, yeah, I was calling about the retreat. I'm sure you're busy and booked and everything. Thank you. Have a good day. And I hang up and I'm like, okay. And. Immediately my phone [00:10:00] rings and it's the number. And I thought, okay, okay, okay, okay. Well maybe her voicemail's broke or something.
I can just tell her the same thing. So I answer and I said, hello. You know, uh, yeah, I know you're booked. It's okay. I'll talk to you later. She's like, hang on, hang on, hang on. And I'm like, oh no. And she said, actually someone canceled about an hour ago. We do have one opening. Wow. I said, oh, no. Uh, well, I mean, I don't know that I could find babysitting or anything.
I mean, I don't, I don't know if it would work out. I don't know if I could get there. I don't, da da, you know. And she said, well, let me put you down. Anyway, long story short, babysitting, everything works out. I gotta go to this dang retreat. I walk in, they lead us through this. Um, well before they start the meditation, I walk in the door and, and I'm so weird that I.
I look around everybody and I said, listen, I like announce okay to like the 15 people that are in there. [00:11:00] I don't wanna get naked and I don't wanna dance over a fire.
And everybody's like, uh, okay, I'll see you there. Okay, we're all on the same page then. And I was like, okay, perfect. So I come
and I sit on the edge of the seat and they lead us through this doors meditation, which I know now is a chakra meditation, but I didn't know that.
Then I knew. The basics of the chakras, and I knew, you know, reiki obviously and everything, but I hadn't delved deep into the chakras, go through the doors. I get to my heart chakra, which I didn't know that's what it was, but it was bolted shut and like bolted shut. And I was like, no, listen, I got this far, this door's gonna open.
And you don't challenge a Virgo, right? Like, we're gonna get it done. And so I ended up like drop kicking the door eventually, [00:12:00] and I got it open and I was super proud of myself and it was just black, like I couldn't see anything in it at all. I couldn't find a light switch, nothing. So at the end of the thing, everybody, you know, kinda asked questions and I was like, Ooh, ooh, ooh, pick me, you know?
'cause I was so proud. And so I said, and I got to this one door and I open it and it wouldn't open, and blah, blah, blah. But I drop kicked it. I got it open, and you hear this gasp and everybody's like, oh well. Okay. That was your heart chakra. Um, that's one way to do it. Um, okay. All right. Okay. Everybody's just kind of, and I'm like, what is wrong with these people?
They're supposed to be proud of me. Like I got that far. About 10 minutes later, I start having chest pain. Oh. And I start like sweating and I'm like, oh, this is great. Front page of the newspaper nurse dies of a massive heart attack at a spiritual retreat. And one of the [00:13:00] leaders comes over and he says, you're okay.
You're not having a heart attack. But I would advise not kicking doors down that we've tried to shut really hard because sometimes there's a lot of stuff in there. And if we let it all come out at once, sometimes it's not very comfortable. So, and then. The entire weekend was beautiful. Heart unfolding, everything went great, and I got back in alignment.
So long story short, and I felt very amplified in doing reiki and bringing any kind of white I could to anyone that I could, and that became my mission wholeheartedly.
Kara Goodwin: That is so beautiful, and I love that. I love so much about what you shared. It sounds like through that experience you were, like, you, then you got on board with reiki.
That's pretty fast. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I mean, to go from like the [00:14:00] training and then it's what, the next weekend or very shortly afterwards. I mean, that's a pretty, pretty quick turnaround to be. Mm-hmm. So, but you were trusting that guidance as it was coming in and it's so important what you talk about with.
The, the forcing of the heart center open. I resonate so much with the story of like the heart being closed because on your podcast I was sharing that when I started my meditation journey, it was a very secular beginning. And, but I learned from monks and so they had this whole protocol of starting your meditation with prayer, but there were names that they were invoking that I didn't, I was unfamiliar with, so I just was not really doing the prayer part because I, I didn't feel that I had enough information to be comfortable.
Kind of like what you're saying, where you're. I am not gonna get naked and dance around the fire. That was kind of my thing of like, I don't know who these beings are. Like I don't know that I want to pray to them, [00:15:00] right? Mm-hmm. And so subsequently, I just wasn't praying. I was just diving into my meditations and I went on a retreat.
So early days, just starting to learn meditation. I went on a retreat that was the subject, was engaging with the heart, the energy of the heart, opening the energy of the heart. The, the, um, leader, the teacher of the workshop, we were at a spiritual center, and so just by the very virtue of me being there, you would think I was this, I would, that I'm a prayer person, that I'm a spiritual person because I would be drawn to something like that.
I'm in a class. The teacher was the. The healer that I was, because she actually contacted me toward the end and was like, I never do this, but I feel this compulsion to tell you that I'm a healer and to ask if you'd like a session. She's like, I love this. She was like, but no pressure whatsoever. And I was like, oh my God.
I'd [00:16:00] love to have a healing session, but I'm not sick. So. Does, does do I have to be sick? And she's like, no, it works on all levels. And um, like, should I go get my hair wet and stand outside in the cold with four feet so that I can catch a cold? You know? Right. Right. When she got to my heart, she was like, your heart is closed.
You're not praying before you meditate. She called me out on it, and again, there was like no reason for her to know that. So that was striking for me because I was just starting to enter this world and I didn't, you know, even though I was curious about healing, I was also like. You know, sort of like, let's just see what happens.
Yeah. But then that she could pick up on that and that my heart also was closed. I think we do such a good job of like protecting ourselves that Right. We, we are very careful with our hearts. And then there comes that point, um, where we're invited to work through that. The other thing is the physical [00:17:00] element that you talk about.
I don't feel like a lot of people talk about the physical aspect that can happen because our heart, well, d. I will ask you, do you wanna share a little bit more about why we may have these physical, um, symptoms that show up, but there may be this energetic component to them and the caveat that you mentioned in, in our episode for your episode.
Where you interviewed me, you know, like always we want to involve medical professionals if, especially like if you're having heart issues, you know, don't just be like, oh, okay. It's, it's just the energy. Absolutely. But I mean, you're a nurse too, so I'd love to get your, if, do you have more that you'd like to say about that component of like spiritual awakenings and, and energy center awakenings, but physical symptoms that can come up?
Justina Sharp: Absolutely. I think that is so much of my role now, you know, in a, [00:18:00] um, angel Reiki session, you know, I do them in person and on Zoom and really walking through the body. Our bodies are incredible. However, they are limited and. If we don't ever take the time to release things that no longer serve us to emote emotions that wreak havoc, they start to build disease, for lack of better word, or inflammation.
I have, uh, clients that have, uh, fibromyalgia, uh. And so many times when we get into a session, it becomes very clear, very quickly that there was a lot of childhood trauma, a lot of things that. Happened to them that they too had kind of stuff down. Okay. If I [00:19:00] just try not to think about it, it'll go away.
If I try not to think about it, it'll go away. I'll just swallow it, swallow it, swallow it, and uh, and it starts to manifest and pain all over the body and inflammation. Now I'm not saying that's the diagnosis or that's the reason for everybody's everything, just to be clear, but I am definitely finding, um.
It to happen more frequently, and we have, you know, I have people that have thyroid issues and a lot of times are related to swallowing their voice and not sticking up for themselves. I call an Archangel Gabriel. She can help with that. The angels don't necessarily have a sex assigned to them. I was surprised that you said
Kara Goodwin: she,
Justina Sharp: I always think of it Gabriel as as he, yeah.
I feel Archangel Gabriel most of the time as a female. Uh, there are a few clients that I have felt as a male, but most of the time. And, [00:20:00] uh, and she helps. One of the things that she helped me with at the very beginning was she said, listen to me, and, and she has me pass on this message to others sometimes is if you are in a moment where you feel like you can't speak your voice, and it's definitely a moment that you feel in your gut and you feel that you need to stick up for yourself in this moment, call me in.
And I will hold you up when you can't hold yourself up. Mm-hmm. And she sort of shows me diving in like underneath of our shoulder blades and almost like holding on to those bones and just really helping us stand straight and know that we, we are worthy of speaking up for our own safety, for our own sanity.
All of those things. But what happens in a lot of people that have swallowed that you'll see, um, sometimes even like esophageal cancer, I'll see, you know, the, the thyroid [00:21:00] problems. And when I say I see, I see it in my mind's eye. A lot of ulcerative colitis. Um, stuff like that, autoimmune disease are really big and seem to have a lot of emotions connected to them and a lot of things to, um, wreak havoc.
So we really work through in our sessions releasing a lot of that. And in all honesty, you know. Our spirit teams are always ready and willing to and want to so badly just shower us with love and healing energy and, and all of that. And, and they, they're right here waiting to do every piece of that. But if we have stuffed so much into us and are not willing to release it, it makes it very hard to allow more energy to come in.
Whether it's good or bad, right? And the whole idea in my sessions [00:22:00] is to return the flow from heaven to earth, right? And we can have that flow throughout our bodies, but if we aren't able to release all of the ick, so to speak. Or as much ick as we can. Any ick releasing is a great thing and should be celebrated because it's not easy.
Sometimes when we go to release this, sometimes there is an emotion or a memory that comes up in the process, and I just really try to remind people that you've already been through that. We don't have to go back through that. All you're doing right now is acknowledging that now you have the strength to let it go.
Mm. And um, it always makes me think of Elsa and Frozen. I have a little one and I'm like, let it go. Like, I feel like I'm a breakout in the song in the middle of, you know, and Frozen's gonna take over the room. And, uh, but it's so incredible [00:23:00] the impact in, in all of that. And I'm so grateful that I have the nursing background because I.
I love anatomy and physiology and they show me, in my mind's eye all different pieces of how it affects things. Breast cancer a lot seems to have a common theme with, uh, issues like in their mother-daughter relationships and things like that. Lack of forgiveness a lot of times, um, because lack of forgiveness doesn't do a lot for the other person.
I spent a lot of years in the past thinking it did, you know, well, if I just don't forgive them, it's gonna be the worst thing ever for them. Well, it may affect them some, but it's affecting you a lot worse.
Kara Goodwin: Hmm. I can
Justina Sharp: promise you that.
Kara Goodwin: Yeah. So true. Well, I love what you share, and I'm curious because you have all of these different reiki.
Types that you use. And you mentioned the angel reiki. [00:24:00] Um, can you talk a little bit about the differentiation in terms of, of the different modalities with all within the Reiki foundation that you have your training in, and then also do, from your perspective as a practitioner, do you kind of feel into what to use?
Have you sort of. Created like a mix where you are, like your reiki is more of a tonic of like your, you know, just whatever's kind of, it's, it's all sort of mixed within. 'cause all of them have initiations of course and mm-hmm. And so forth. Um, is there one that you know now that you are initiated into Angel Reiki, maybe like that's the one that you're using now?
Or talk a little bit about how that's working for you.
Justina Sharp: So I think the amazing thing about Reiki is so much of [00:25:00] it, you know, you learn the foundations and your teachings and your learnings, but in all reality, once you learn the foundation, you also go to spirit. And I always meditate beforehand. I say a prayer beforehand for my client and for myself and for the room itself, whether it's even on Zoom, whatever room I'm doing it in, which is usually my room that I'm in right now.
Uh, and. I always ask for the most beautiful, most calming, most loving presence and session to take place. And so while I don't go in the exact methodical way that I teach or that I learned initially. All of the main components are still there. So like an OSU Reiki that is the more [00:26:00] traditional reiki developed in Japan.
And they're, um, they come across sort of very strict on their hand placements and those kinds of things. Uh, calling in, um. Master Rui sensei and Tata sensei and uh, which I do, they're, they're kind of all on my crew. That's the best part about this, is the longer you do it, you just like, you get all kinds of cool people you meet and start to become part of your spirit team.
One of my favorites is Padre Peele, who I did not even know existed before, but he is now on my spirit team and I'm so grateful for the client that, um. Well, I guess he introduced himself during the client session, but that's a whole nother thing. Anyway, so, and then we have holy fire, uh, reiki, which is, does still go through some of the.
Hand placements, it doesn't feel as strict as ui uh, [00:27:00] Reiki, but it does make several references to US. UI and Holy Fire was more developed later in the two thousands by William Rand, who, um, sort of downloaded this form of reiki and incorporated the Holy Fire symbol into it as well. So it's kind of an addition, but it also gives a freedom.
Of adapting to our ever-changing climate in the world. Right. You know, USI Sensei or USI Reiki Rio Reiki was, was perfect for its time. And so often in current times we feel like we don't have time. Right? Or we feel like if something feels too difficult, we don't even wanna try it. Uh, and Holy Fire gives you a little bit more, um.
Entry to that a little, uh, I don't wanna say easier, but it, it feels more attainable to do so. [00:28:00] When I teach reiki, I teach the combo of those. And then the Angel Reiki, um, that kind of started coming in. Um, the angels just kind of started coming in. Back in the day, uh, and come in more and more and more. And I meet new angels all of the time throughout the sessions.
And so we talk some about that in the classes that that I teach. But I do still feel it's important to know the original teachings of the hand placements. Um. Just so you have a starting point, it's hard to kind of grasp because a lot of spiritual stuff is kind of like out here, right? Mm-hmm. And it, I think a lot of our teachings that we learn, and the US anyway, I mean I haven't lived anywhere else, but are very like, concrete, two plus two equals four.
And you put this square and this square and the, you know, I mean like, there's very, uh, concrete examples. So when we don't have a foundation of concrete to start with, sometimes [00:29:00] it makes it hard to. To allow ourselves to relax enough to receive all the energetics of it too.
Kara Goodwin: Yeah. So hopefully it
Justina Sharp: makes sense.
Kara Goodwin: Yes. Yeah. You know, it, it's really fascinating. And you know, what it sounds like to me is that you've, you've kind of let these modalities come in in their time and learned them and honored them, and then it, it is the. The honoring of the practice, but also how things can be complimentary, complimentarily used as needed for what comes up, you know, as you go.
Um, as we kind of draw this to a close. I would love to hear any, any sort of, um, experiences that you've had in your 20 years of doing this work. Are there one or two stories that come up that really just [00:30:00] kind of blew your socks off that really inspired you, that you'd like to share with everybody?
Justina Sharp: Yes.
Uh, there are several, I, I think every time. I do a session, sometimes I'm more wowed at the end of it than the client. Mm-hmm. That sounds terrible. But I wish I could portray in an artistic fashion what I see during a session because it's the most incredibly beautiful, and I try to describe it, but sometimes there are not words in our human vocabulary to wrap around.
What I get to experience, um, during someone's session and the beauty and the beauty and the love that surround each person is just unfathomable. I feel like if everyone knew how loved they were, this world would be such a different place. [00:31:00] One of the, um, favorite sessions, this has kind of increased over the last couple years.
I've had a lot of, uh, grieving parents. And that have lost children.
Kara Goodwin: Oh God.
Justina Sharp: And our children have passed away. And I was a little scared at first when that happened. As a parent myself, I thought, man, am I gonna be able to do this? And spirit quickly reminded me, well, when you're in these sessions, you are not.
Fully in the 3D You right, you are, you're channeling your pulling spirit through you, you're pulling the energy through you, so it's okay. It's okay. And, and you're doing this with a heart of love and compassion. And there is, um, so a mother came to me, I'm already starting to tear up. Mm-hmm. And
there was, uh, a little boy. And Spirit and she came in for the session and we, [00:32:00] I didn't even get her laid down, like he just started right away and it, it really turned into just a full blown mediumship session and it went on for like two hours and he was so incredible. Children on the other side are. I don't wanna say they're better than adults, but man, they're really amazing.
They are instantly like, okay, I'm gonna, I connect with like these other kids, kind of welcome them. And then they start talking about how they can connect their parents and they're like, okay, well so-and-so's gonna go to Walmart today and we're gonna make sure that mom has to get some more milk and dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
And then they're gonna run into each other and then they're gonna find out about us. And like they always, they have all these big, beautiful plans. And this particular child kept showing me that he knew ahead of time that he wasn't gonna be here long and he really wasn't even supposed to come back to earth.
Um, because he has a very big role [00:33:00] on the other side and he's kinda like an overseer of everything. And he kept showing me too big for his body, like he was in his body and um, like he just couldn't. He just felt stuffed,
you know,
like tight. And he was just like, it's just ugh. And he would like, he hated wearing clothes and he'd like if he had a shirt on, he'd be picking at it and everything.
And when I say it was a full blown mediumship session, I do want you to know that since I had prayed beforehand, Reiki energy was also in the room, also infusing her right with healing. So it was very interesting and talk about like making a session your own, so to speak. While I didn't do hand placements on her, the Reiki energy was continuing to flow through her and helped to seal, you know, helped to heal her soul, right?
Because of this tragic event. And so when I started talking about those things, she [00:34:00] said, oh my gosh, he hated clothes. He was forever taking his clothes off. And anytime he had a shirt on, he'd forever like pulling at his shirt and just pulling and pulling. And uh, and then he showed me this other family and how he got them to, uh.
Through a long, weird set of circumstances to connect with his mom and dad and, and she's like, oh my gosh, I know who you're talking about. They just came over to our house like last week and we had like, heard of them a long time ago. Like we all sort of like had worked in the same location at one time and, but we didn't really know them and.
They just showed up and were like, Hey, we just wanna offer support. We know what this is like. And I mean, it was just one thing after another. And I, spirit paused me for a minute in the session and I, I could feel in that moment that they paused me like this healing, loving. Reiki energy flowing [00:35:00] through me, out of my heart and into her heart, right?
Mm-hmm. And so every message that came through and angels, you know, were in the room, some of her spirit guides, there were so many different things happening, but it, it was just a constant flow of infusing. And when she had showed up, it was an evening appointment, she. Was exhausted. She was very out of herself, right?
Because as anyone would be, and by the end of the session she was smiling and
the little boy leaned over towards the end of the session and he whispered in my ear and he said, thank you for turning my mommy's light back on. Oh.
Wow. I [00:36:00] was a blubbering mess. Um, oh my gosh.
It was such a moment of, you know what? Even though sometimes being on the spiritual path is hard and sometimes. We get in our heads of being like, everybody's gonna think I'm crazy or dah, dah, dah, dah. Or, I'm not having the opportunity to be around as many other like-minded people as I like, and what if they're judging me in this?
I mean, everything literally fell away. Everything because I could feel his heart and his soul, and and her heart and her soul, and had I not taken the moment. To be in the moment with her and to be open to channel the Reiki energy for her, I would've missed an opportunity to be on Mission for [00:37:00] Spirit and to remind her how love she is.
And even though her son is not in this 3D world right now, he's still with her every step of the way.
Kara Goodwin: Wow. That is a really powerful story. Thank you so much for sharing. And I love how it keeps rippling, you know? I mean, you had that time with her, which is in our past and with him, and it lit her up. I mean, oh my God, that he was saying, thanks for turning my mom's flight back on.
I mean, that's just incredible. And now you fast forward into your future, which is now. Our present and he's here helping. Mm-hmm. All of us and inspiring us because we've reached through the past to bring him forward again. And so it, and so it goes, you know, I mean, what an amazing spiral and what a huge [00:38:00] blessing.
Oh, huge. Yes. Thank you for sharing that. Massive. And he still
Justina Sharp: pops in now. It's, and it's so funny because he's very young. Uh, very well. It sounds like
Kara Goodwin: he's not young, soul wise, right? No,
Justina Sharp: he's a massive soul, probably one of the biggest souls I've ever encountered, and he shows up. Um, any moment I start to get, you know, nervous about doing something, and he'll tug on my hand, he'll show himself in a little body and tug on my hand and, and just be like, we've done this before.
What are you worried about? You know? And I'm like, oh my goodness. You're just magnificent. So. What a gift. It's such a blessing. Yes.
