Soul Elevation

Lorenda: Thank you for having me. I'm rea I'm excited to have our, to have our little chat.

Kara: y.

Lorenda: know we always, we love to deep dive some things, so

Kara: Yes. And you've been on a couple of times, but it's been I think three times actually. But it's been a while. It was back when it was meditation conversation and we've never had a one-to-one. Um, so this is gonna be a lot of fun. You are local to me, which is unusual for the people that I have on. And, um, I was actually, you probably don't know, I was at your dance studio last night.

Lorenda: Oh, that's funny.

Kara: Yes.

Lorenda: Yeah. I didn't, I I actually, I kind of wondered if you were gonna [00:03:00] be there for that event. I was hosting something else, so I couldn't go. One of these days. I'll make it

Kara: Oh, that's so great. Yeah. You got it. You gotta go if you can. Um, but I wondered if I would see you there and

Lorenda: Yeah.

Kara: you weren't there, but I was like, that's so interesting the timing because. You selected this time, but just based on availability. I didn't even know that that event was gonna happen when you were selecting the times.

So that was a total coincidence, but I feel like I'm well and truly kind of in NDA world.

Lorenda: You are, you have experienced my dance studio. We are now. You were on my podcast and now.

Kara: Yes. Now here we are. That's right.

Lorenda: we're, I love it. I love it.

Kara: So I wanna start by talking about, because you are an amazing psychic medium. You've got a lot of A-Q-H-H-T practitioner.

Lorenda: Mm-hmm.

Kara: um, got so many, you know, you do mediumship and past life [00:04:00] regressions, channeling, so you've got so many gifts and, and you also have your dance studio.

You own a dance studio that with competitive dance. Um, so you're a very busy woman, but let's focus on the psychic work and how did you, how did you get into the work into that side of the work that you're doing today?

Lorenda: You know, um, it's been a really interesting long journey. Um, I've always been, I remember when I was a kid just knowing things, but not really. Understanding how I just thought everyone could feel things or they knew things. Um, and then as I got older, I would say things like, I wish I was psychic. I wish I could see ghosts, but I don't wanna see ghosts. I wish I could just know things or read people's minds. And um, and it wasn't until I was in my twenties and going through a really hard [00:05:00] time that I went to my very first psychic and she said, you're, gonna do this work? I was like, no, I'm not going to. Um, because didn't think, I thought you had to see the dead people to be considered a psychic medium. And so I just, I, for years, I just went to other. To other mediums and every time they'd always say, you're gonna do this work. And I, and I've al I'd always been obsessed with like, learning tarot cards and divination tools. And then once I got older and had a little more disposable income, I was like learning some things.

And um, and I remember telling a friend, like, oh, I don't know. She's kept saying, you're gonna do this. You have to learn how to do this. And I said, I don't, I don't know one, I don't think my husband would like it. last words. When have I ever that that, which is funny if you know me. Um, and, and, and I said, okay, well if Spirit gives me a sign, and, and then I won a reading and that it was [00:06:00] weird.

I won a reading at a psychic fair and they said, you're gonna do what I do. Okay, that's cute. They tell everyone that. And so my friend says, listen, come on. I was like, maybe I need a sign. Your sign. A week later I won a reading,

Kara: Or sign.

Lorenda: your sign. And so I won. A reading on the radio where the lady said, do this work, don't you?

I'm like, I don't, I mean, I love it. I think it's really cool. I'm obsessed with, I'm watching Sylvia Brown and John Edward, and I'm obsessed with like going and learning about it, but I, no, don't. I don't do this. And she's like, you're going to, okay, thanks. And then I told my friend, I said, I think they tell everybody that.

She goes, no, they literally don't. They don't. And I said, well, I guess if John Edward or Sylvia Brown were to tell me I do this work, have no choice. And she's like, okay, well here that, whatever. I kid you not, a week later, I got a phone call from John Edwards office that I'd won a free reading.

Kara: Oh my word.

Lorenda: [00:07:00] Because I belonged to something called the Five at the time. Like I was paying for, like being a member on his website. It was like $99 a year. But I had access to learn about and, and like, so I was learning all of these things just through digital recordings and watching other people's videos and other conversations and interviews and, just really paying attention.

I was taking it all in, but thought it was just for my own entertainment and enjoyment. um, they said, yeah, he chooses five people a month to give away a reading, I'm like, I had no idea. I had

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: a thing. And um, and I get on the phone with him, fan girl.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: that was before phones recorded anything. And that was probably about 14 years ago. That's 15 years ago now. Like, that was a long time ago. And the first thing he said was like, you do this work, don't you? you do this work well, you're gonna do what I do. Now, if you know John Edward, you know, he doesn't say that lightly. He [00:08:00] doesn't believe that everybody can be a medium. I believe that you can, but doesn't believe that he thinks that anybody can be psychic. And he's like, no, you, if you choose to do this, you'll you'll do what I do.

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: so my friend was like, was that a Signy enough sign for

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: And so fast forward to now, I ended up naming my, um, LLC sign, the acronym for Spiritual Insight Guidance Network.

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: that's where we are. That's how I got, that's how I launched into it. And from that point on, I was like, well, I guess I asked for the sign. I got the sign. Three times now. So I'm gonna honor this. And I stepped into, really learning and developing and, and reading more and, and reading for people. then literally had no idea I was actually doing mediumship when I was doing tarot cards until a friend of mine who's a mediums, I was telling her, I said, well, I'm [00:09:00] just psychic.

I don't do mediumship. I do the cards. And sometimes I hear a grandma come in and tell me. She's like, wait a minute. What do you think mediumship is? I'm like, you gotta see the dead people. And she says, no, that's not how that works. Haven't you been studying this stuff for years? I'm like, yeah, but, but really I don't hear them and I don't see them.

I just have an imagination. And she says, no, that's not how it works. She hooked me up with a mentor. And all these years later, that's where I am. So that's

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: that's my, in a nutshell,

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: someday,

Kara: Yes.

Lorenda: story.

Kara: Oh my gosh. Well, one of the things that I wanna highlight that you talk about is that you were, you kept getting these same messages, and I relate so much to the, like, ki just thinking that that's what they tell everybody. I do this all the time where I'm like, oh, they say, you know, and, and sometimes it's, it's out there stuff, you [00:10:00] know, like a lot, like a lot of times for me, star things will come up, you know, like you're connected to the stars and you're, you know, like you're very gal, you're so, you know, whatever.

And I will, I hear it so much

Lorenda: Yeah.

Kara: that I'm like, they just say that. They just tell everybody this.

Lorenda: to everybody.

Kara: But.

Lorenda: you right now, no one's told me I'm some star being that's connected to galaxies. I've never been told that.

Kara: Well, and, and when I thank you for that, but I, and I think about that too. I'm like, no, I don't know that that's like a common, that's not like telling a, a 60-year-old woman. I think your grandpa's dead, right? Like you're, I think we've got your grandpa on the other side. Do you, did your grandpa pass away?

You know, and it's like,

Lorenda: would be funny is if they said

Kara: yeah, right. No, all my grandparents are living. Yeah. But you know, it, it, it does feel, I sympathize with that so much where it just [00:11:00] feels like, because you, you hear it so much as a, and I know people who watch soul Elevation are interested in readings and things like that. So I just wanted to dwell on that for a minute because I relate to, and I bet other people are where they're like, hearing you're a healer, you're a healer.

And it's like, people always tell me I'm a healer. They tell everybody don't, they must just tell everybody. Yeah. So.

Lorenda: what it started out actually. It wasn't just that you're gonna do this, but you're a healer. And then they said, I remember one of my, one of my psychics said, well, I know you're a dance teacher. You know that you can heal through dance. You're healing So there, at that point I was like, oh, I'm not meant to do, that's what all those psychics meant.

I'm not a psychic medium, I'm a healer through dance. I empower people. So then I just kind of gave it up until again, all those years later when my friend was just kind of at me, at me, at me about it, and[00:12:00] 

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: then John Edward. I was like, oh,

Kara: yeah. But not, but the opposite of that, where it's like, okay, well this is actually, I'm really interested in this, but I'm gonna give myself permission now.

Lorenda: That's, that was the key is giving my per myself permission to step into it. And what's interesting is having learned how to. Because then once you step into that space, you're kind of required to understand more aspects of beyond just psychic mediumship. So I'm always intrigued by people who are like, oh no, I only do mediumship.

Like how, how do you

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: do that? also astrology. There's also numerology, which I grew up, I grew up obsessed with numbers, and now it all makes sense. And I was obsessed with understanding astrology. Now it all makes sense. Um, but even then, beyond that, you know, I wanna learn about. Multidimensional realities and, um, and understanding the spiritual anatomy. How do our [00:13:00] bodies work, mind, body, and spirit, how are they connected? Then you go into past lives and which I was also growing up obsessed with because my, I think because my mom was also really into it, and it was never a weird conversation.

It was like, well, you know, I had a past life. You know, I did my grandmother had a painting of herself and she would always say, oh, an an artist did that in, it's a past life version of myself. And so to me, those conversa a lot of people, especially here in central Indiana, I get the, uh, well, I'm a psychic medium.

Oh. But I'm a Christian. That's the weirdest conversation to have with me. I'm like, oh,

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: and.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: I'm waiting for the dot, dot, dot. Then

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: else? Um, but, so just the conversations were kind of normal

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: around me and my brothers would have predictive dreams. My mom would have predictive dreams. I thought I was the broken one.

'cause I didn't have predictive dreams.[00:14:00] 

Kara: Oh, interesting.

Lorenda: I thought I was the one that didn't get the gift.

Kara: Huh. Well, we'll see. We see how things turned out. Yeah.

Lorenda: I know,

Kara: Yeah, that's, that's really interesting when you talk about that. Sometimes people will just say like, oh, well, I'm a Christian. You're supposed to connect the dots that like, those things don't go together and you know, like your spirit medium and, oh, okay, well, I'm a Christian.

Those things don't go together. It's like religion is an exploration of the spiritual nature of reality, but we get so boxed in through it. I had a conversation with somebody. It was someone's parent actually, we were just like out to lunch or whatever as a group. And she was saying that, you know, they were very devout and I'm not sure exactly what, you know, some type of Protestant, but, and from the south, you know, like in I, I don't know if it'd [00:15:00] be considered the Bible belt or whatever, but, but they, the husband, we kind of started talking a little bit about ghosts and she was sharing some stories of, you know, places that, where they'd been, where there was unusual activity that seemed paranormal.

And she was like, don't talk to my husband about this. He does not want to talk about this. He's, he does not like this subject. And I'm like, but he's really into church. Like he's really into spirit. He loves.

Lorenda: This stuff.

Kara: Like, don't you love this whole as what it, what is the Bible? It's these really weird stories when things that we can't explain happened.

It's a whole collection of them. And

Lorenda: and what's the difference between a profit and a medium? Like,

Kara: yes, so I don't get the [00:16:00] disconnect because I'm like, and I, I, I believe it's conditioning. It is the, the church coming in and saying, we get to control what you think. And if it's, if it's outside of the realm of this book or what I say is, okay, it is not okay and it's the devil and it's whatever. But I do want people to think about who benefits from you being told that?

Who benefits from you believing that? Who benefits from you saying don't look at anybody else. For any sort of spiritual guidance and don't believe that you are connected. It's only the people in this book who were connected. They told you everything you need to know. I will tell you any, I'll answer any questions you have.

It might not make sense, but just trust me. Who

Lorenda: right.

Kara: benefits from you being disempowered in that way?

Lorenda: The people who collect the money at [00:17:00] church,

Kara: Yes, exactly.

Lorenda: the plates.

Kara: Yes. They want your control. They want you to be to hand yourself over and say, okay, I, nope. It's tell me what to do. Tell me what to think, and please just please people take control, take ownership, step into yourself. So sorry for the little tangent there, but it's, it's so important.

Lorenda: you, I'm with you on that. I could

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: That's a whole other deep dive podcast

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: I I'm, I'm with you. It's, it's, it's control. And I tell people all the time, like, Hmm, men wrote the Bible, interpreted the Bible, men translated the Bible into the English version. We know now should I keep going?

You know?

Kara: Huh?

Lorenda: 'cause when people are like, oh, but Jesus, I'm like, oh yeah, Jesus is awesome. I channeled him once

Kara: Yeah, I'm sure they love that. Yeah.

Lorenda: that. Usually, it's usually a conversation [00:18:00] stopper.

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: if I'm being honest, like if everyone just like a microphone, like if

Kara: yeah.

Lorenda: wanna have shock value, which me being a big Leo energy. Absolutely. I've got my handful of mic drops, and that's one of them. That's one of them.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: Um, but, and honestly, and that, but it is true. I did channel Jesus once not, it was very inadvertently. And, and I remember just an overwhelming sense of love, unconditional love. And so when people come at me with this fear based, I'm like, it's, that's, I, I can't mind, body and spirit.

I cannot buy what you're selling.

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: I

Kara: a hundred percent.

Lorenda: I don't. I I just can't because what I have found through this work is spirit is unconditional. Even the people that left this world that were just not good, people [00:19:00] still come in with a very different vibration. Um, in mediumship, and, and you can tell as the medium, you can tell they've made the transformation, they will still say to their loved one, Hey, I, I owe some apologies.

I wanna take accountability for my time there on earth. Um, but they, they will still identify themselves as that mean, horrible person that walked the earth, but their vibration feels so unconditional. And, um, I even had a, I had a, a client today that even said, your, you know, your dad's bringing up your hair.

She says, oh, he's gonna hate it. I'm getting it cut off this week and, and he's gonna hate it. I said, actually, no, he's not. He wants you to live your best life and do what you wanna do and learn what you need to learn. And that's it. That's all they care about. So when people come with that indoctrination, with the, the fear, I just can't buy it,

Kara: Yeah, I love [00:20:00] that.

I wanna talk about some of the biggest, your biggest initial blocks to your skills developing your psychic gifts, developing, what were some of the blocks you had to overcome and how did you overcome them?

Lorenda: um, for one, I thought, again, I thought you had to see that you had to visually see. Um, and my, I think my biggest, my biggest block though was just allowing. Understanding that it, it didn't always have to make sense. And I, as a dancer and performer thought that if I'm in front of someone, I need to perform.

I've gotta give the goods, I have to fulfill your expectations. 'cause you bought a ticket to this show. Right. And what I learned was, the more I said, fine, I, I, this was literally an out loud conversation I had. I'm trying to, um, I'm [00:21:00] trying to understand what spirit's showing me, but I'm trying to interpret it. So it'd be a prediction or it'd be something that I knew that the sitter wanted to hear. And there was just a disconnect. And I finally was like, fine, I'll just say what I get. So you better make it good. that's how I talked to my guides. better make it good. You better make it make sense. I'm just gonna say whatever comes to my mind. And I did. And it was on. TikTok live at the time. All of a sudden I had 2000 people in the room. I'd averaged 20 at best on a good day.

Kara: Oh my gosh.

Lorenda: people are viewing. I've got someone else in there. I'm doing this reading. I'm saying exactly what I'm getting. And it was so beyond my wildest dreams, accurate. So that I was like, oh, thanks.

Kara: Oh, that's what I was [00:22:00] supposed to be doing this whole time.

Lorenda: whole time. And so understanding and having the audience for it. And then ultimately, I was actually reading for a fairly well-known medium that I'd never heard of. I felt kind of bad 'cause he was like, do you know who I am? And I said, I don't actually. I'm so sorry.

I was like, I'm sorry, I don't, I'm not sorry. Because I actually find that I get better information if I don't know the person. And he goes, okay, I can't wait till you look me up afterwards. And, and I'm like, okay, cool.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: in the, in the chat knew who he was. I'd never heard of him. And um, and since then, we've actually become friends and we've worked, done some things together.

But in that moment I had, I allowed, and it was the first time I just allowed opened the door to so many more things, um, like trance, mediumship, because that's a [00:23:00] whole other, whole other level of allowing the multidimensional healing. Um, which you were my very first experiment

Kara: Yes, with the the by proxy. Yeah.

Lorenda: and now I do it as a service alone, like just doing it myself, being able to do it.

But it was a process like understanding that I didn't need other people. I didn't need. All these other things and all these tools. I didn't need tarot cards. I didn't need, that was probably some of my biggest blocks is, is understanding that I didn't anything

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: anyone else. That spirit had my back.

And then once I allowed Spirit to come in, it just happened. The magic happened

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: beautiful and it was such an amazing experiment, not even experiment, um, of just learning that. And once I knew that, now I, I tell my students this as well. [00:24:00] It's an amazing feeling when you transition from believing to knowing, from believing to knowing. Because once you know, spirit has your back, once you know you're not believing that spirit might be there. You might have that loved one. Um, you might be experiencing a past life, even in QHHT when I've got someone under, under going through the process. I'm remote viewing at that point, so that's a new skill in the, since, since you

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: I can remote view what

Kara: there.

Lorenda: experiencing, which helps me be like an investigative journalist

Kara: Oh

Lorenda: questions and guide them without guiding them.

No, like no suggestions necessarily. Be

Kara: mm

Lorenda: so let's go into the next room. Let's go into like, I'm listening to my guides and their guides while they're going through this process[00:25:00] 

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: allowing it and, and it's helping my clients

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: in the end or the, whoever I'm working with, because I'm allowing and knowing that what I'm getting must be real.

Kara: Wow. 

Well, I love that. Just allowing, and I feel like that's a common block. I know I can relate to that in terms of, I, I mean, I'm, I don't consider myself psychic at this point, but you know, I receive information and when I'm meditating or when I'm falling asleep, and that's been something I've had to lean into as well.

There's this balance between like directing the, the directing the flow in terms of like, okay, what. Let's say in terms of a meditation, for example. Okay, let me ask questions. What do I wanna [00:26:00] intend? What do I wanna get out of this? And then just the being in it of like, okay, what am I actually receiving?

And this is something that I'm navigating right now, where it's like, I feel like I do a lot of the out reach, you know, the intending, the visualizing, the, this is how I want my meditation to go. I'm trying to get better at like, just being, just allowing, just relaxing into it. So there's that tension I think, between the two and they go together.

But it's a, it's a flow and it's a process and.

Lorenda: It really is. It really is. And um, and it's funny, it, it's funny because I tell people all the time, we all receive spirit so differently. And this is why I truly believe we can all be, we are all psychic. Um, we're, and we all have the ability to be [00:27:00] mediums. Now, does that mean we should all be professional mediums? No, say just 'cause we can doesn't mean we should. Um, and, but when we're talking about connecting to spirit, if you think about it, we come in with a whole, we come in with a, a team of spirit guides. are our team. There are, as a, a big Leo energy. I say, well, they're my own entourage. You know, they're my own entourage. Have your people call my people to get access to me. Thank you very much. And, um, so I, I tell people all the time, you don't, you can, like, you can take development classes, you can learn how to connect to spirit through meditation. You can, how, why not utilize the spirit team that you've been gifted as you come in. When you come in, you've got a whole group of people who well spirits that want to help you, that are also learning. [00:28:00] They're going to communicate with you in whatever way they can, in whatever way you're open to receive. And I remember taking a class once, um, through Arthur Finley, and it was like Eileen Davies.

It was a, a trance class. And they said ask, in that initial, um, meditation, they said, ask your guides show you how they best communicate. And so my guides, it was so funny 'cause all of a sudden I saw, or how they see us, it was how do they see us? And I, I, I go in, I see this fog, and then I see it's like seeing from a higher perspective.

And then I see these little Pac-Man go, it looks like a pass Pac-Man ghost. I was a gamer back in the

Kara: Uh

Lorenda: And the, the little ghost, they're like little people covered with sheets. Okay? And every sheet had, some had no holes, some had a bunch of holes, some only had one by then eye, one by an ear and spirit would write a [00:29:00] note, wad up the piece of paper and throw it and try to get it in a hole,

Kara: oh.

Lorenda: hole was open. the metaphor was we try to, to communicate in whatever way you are open to receive whatever way you are capable of receiving information in that moment. So I tell people, spirit will meet us where we are. If we were raised to be fearful of any kind of information, spirit's still gonna guide us in a way that maybe we could never understand and we may never know and or maybe it's just through prayer because that's what we were told had to happen. Even, even if you're an atheist and believe in nothing your entire life, because that's the life you chose coming in, your team still has to guide you to the other side. They're gonna give you information. They're going to, they're going to, they're gonna lead you in a way that you may go your whole life and never know they exist. that's okay. [00:30:00] And

Kara: I love that.

Lorenda: to meet you where you are in how in, in your life, your experiences, your knowledge, your reciprocator, whatever. And there are people that come in, they're like, I've seen dead people since I was born. Like

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: kind of freaks me out. Um, and those are the people I'm like getting to a class.

Oh, for goodness sake, get into a class, find a mentor that does this, has developed so you can learn how to interpret what you're seeing. So you're not fearful. You don't have to do it as a practice for other people. You don't have to do it as a practice, but learn how to manage it.

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: How's spirit coming to you?

Kara: I, that is really, really powerful. That, um, how you describe it with the, the sheets and the, the different holes. Like, so are you, do you have better inner sight? Do you have better, can you hear better, clear audience? How is it? [00:31:00] And they can like, perceive that and, and direct their messages in that way.

That's a really cool like symbol.

Lorenda: So like when you're doing your meditations, for instance, you might be saying, you've already decided you're not a medium, you're not psychic. You said that you've already decided that. So they have to go, oh, for goodness sake, oh, oh, no. Sure you're not. So in meditation, we're gonna give you downloads and we're gonna pretend that they're your ideas. Excellent. Okay. So that's what they do. That's what they do.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: like, we we're, oh, she's so cute. We're just gonna let her think that. ultimately, the job gets done.

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: The

Kara: I love it. I love it. So you're doing work at, um, Chesterfield, right?

Lorenda: At Camp Chesterfield.

Kara: Chesterfield, which I thought, I mean, I know it's local-ish. What is, where is, is it about,

Lorenda: [00:32:00] it's in Anderson, so like just north of Indy.

Kara: Right. So for us it's local, but I was a guest on, in somebody's program and um, that person is in California and she had people from all over,

Lorenda: Mm-hmm.

Kara: but one of them said something about Camp Chesterfield when they went to Camp Chesterfield, and I was like, oh, are you from Indiana?

And like, no. And I,

Lorenda: a, it's like a pilgrimage. Yeah.

Kara: yeah, I didn't even know. I've never been there myself. But tell us, how did you get involved with Camp Chesterfield and what are you doing there?

Lorenda: So what I, what, going back to when my friend was like, what do you think a medium is She, at the time, which is funny because I actually met her again, spirit will align you with what you need because I'm this whole time going, I'm not a medium. I know da, da da. A gal in my tap company, her name's Laura.

Shout out to Laura. She was in my tap company. 'cause I had a professional tap dance company. Somebody outs me [00:33:00] in a, in a meeting in one of our little group sessions, or one of our rehearsals says, you know, Lorena's a psychic, right? She never tells anybody that she does tarot cards and stuff. And so this brand new person comes up to me and says. You know, my wife and I just moved to Camp Chesterfield. I'm like, I've always wanted to go there, but I teach dance all the time and they never offered anything online so I could never do anything because I just, I couldn't justify driving the 45 minutes, to take classes or whatnot because I was so busy doing other things. And, um, and when she told me that right after the, so that I ended up meeting her wife who's a Camp Chesterfield medium, and then COVID hits like within the year and everything shut down. I'm like, oh look, I've got all kinds of extra time now because we're not in the dance studio. And, and I reached out to friend [00:34:00] Michelle, and I said, if, if I were to choose, I need a mentor spirit told me I need a mentor. Um, so. How do, who, who would you recommend? So then I, they recommended Glenda, who's been my mentor since 2020. And I got into classes and, uh, once they opened the camp back up, I was able to do in-person because again, my life changed significantly. So, um, it just turned into, I could go up there for workshops and I'm doing all the online classes because COVID changed that for them. And, and I've met now this whole work, this whole network and then a year ago, it's been right at a year now, they asked me to start doing platform work, meaning I, even though I'm not technically enrolled in the college, I'm just a student that does like random stuff. Um, I would do their spirit fest. I, I got to, I was invited to be a guest medium on their super gala platform. That was [00:35:00] incredible. And, and I was there with four other insanely amazing. Um, mediums and, and I got to share the stage with him and do audience reading. So then I was basically doing what John Edward does,

Kara: Oh man.

Lorenda: he said I would be doing. And of course I should have, I should have thrown in that caveat with him, like, Hey, does that mean I'm gonna be on TV too? But a whole other issue. Um, and, uh, and so, so now, uh, once a month, uh, typically once a month I will be invited to go do their, their Saturday morning or their Saturday afternoon service where I'll do, do message work. Um, they had a trance media. They had a trance weekend over the summer where a number of my students came in from all over the country, um, to do this trance workshop.

Um, that lasted a couple of days. And, um, it was, it was surreal because then my mentor said, I'm gonna have you demonstrate. And [00:36:00] had me, had me demonstrating. And so lately, even in her classes, when I show up to class just to try to learn, she's like, I'm gonna have you teach this. I'm gonna have you do this.

I'm gonna have you set, you know, I'm like, okay. So I by no means am I, am I a teacher? I'm not certified because I have no time to get certified, which we're rectifying, we're working on. Um, I'm still very much involved in the camp and I take all their classes. I, I'm very present. Um, I've been invited a couple times to do some of their psychic fairs and I'll do, and I'll do online psychic fairs.

I did those for pretty much like 15 months straight, where I would do readings to help raise money for

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: as just as a guest. So I'm listed in there since I'm not certified. Um, um, I am just, I am listed as a guest for

Kara: Okay.

Lorenda: Chesterfield. So, um, yeah, about once a month you can go on there, um,

Kara: And it's online, like the once a month thing is online because they do in person too. I know.

Lorenda: I do, I[00:37:00] 

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: done the online ones for a minute, just because they fall on days that I have been extremely busy. Um, but the, and those are, those are the, the last Sunday the month, the online ones and the, they'll have a whole variety of just amazing readers, um, and all the monies of fundraiser for Camp Chesterfield. then on Saturdays they do person on the grounds. Um,

Kara: Even this time of year.

Lorenda: this time of year. They don't do it every Saturday on in the first quarter. So January, February, March, they only do the first Saturday

Kara: Okay.

Lorenda: that's when they had their psychic fair. So you can go to the psychic fair, go to the bookstore, and then go to the service.

The all messages service from one to two, it's like a $10 fee. Um, again, money goes to directly to the campgrounds and, and there are three mediums on platform. It's not churchy at all, which I vibe with, and it, it's just proving the continuity of life. It's delivering [00:38:00] messages in a, in a very ethical way, um, from the platform.

And, and it's a great opportunity for me to one, you know, still be deliver, doing message work and, and meeting more people in the community. come April, they will do every Saturday, and they also do 'em every Sunday.

Kara: Okay.

Lorenda: they do in person every Sunday throughout the year. Um, so that does not, that does not stop. And again, it's $10. You show up and more than likely, especially if you're noon, you've never gone. More than likely. You're getting me a message.

Kara: Oh, really?

Lorenda: Yeah,

Kara: Okay. Sold.

Lorenda: Sold. You have to

Kara: gonna be

Lorenda: gonna be on platform February the first. First February, Saturday. It's first Saturday,

Kara: Okay.

Lorenda: February this month.

Kara: All right. I gotta put that in my calendar.

Lorenda: and the first Saturday in March as well.

So I'll let you know.

Kara: Okay.

Lorenda: Um, so yeah, I'm just, I'm just a guest and again, it's a great way for me to get up and flex my, flex my muscles a little bit and, and get some stage time [00:39:00] since I'm getting a little, little too old to perform in the dance shoes. Uh, it gives me an opportunity to, to get up there and, and do spirit work.

And it's wild because when I'm on platform, we don't do trance work on platform typically for message works. Um, at Camp Chesterfield, however, there is this element of spirit just steps in and I am, I'm personally am known for spirit will dress me. I will let spirit choose my outfits. When I'm getting ready to work platform, I always show up with a crown, uh, with oh, oh yes, I have, I always have. I have like my fun bougie crowns. Um, and. I let spirit choose what I'm gonna wear and everything that I have on, whether it's the type of crown I have on the shoes, the outfit, the jewelry, it all translates into a message for someone.

Kara: [00:40:00] Wow.

Lorenda: cool. Again, that's going back to allowing when you're just like, alright, spirit, what am I wearing today?

Kara: Yeah. That's so cool.

Lorenda: it's amazing. Like there was one point, I, I had some shoes that I hadn't even worn yet, and I was like, I don't think these even really mapped this outfit, do they? But I really wanna wear the other dress. I'm arguing with Spirit. And these shoes had pearls on them. I kid you not, it was on stage at the gala and um, someone's Aunt Pearl came in.

Kara: Oh, wow. Huh. That's funny. Yeah.

Lorenda: right.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: allowing, so that's, that's just what I, story short, that's what I do at Camp Chesterfield.

Kara: Yeah. No, it's amazing. I, and I can't wait to go. I've been trying to get there with my friend Michelle, and the timing was not working out and so I, I need to pick that back up.

Lorenda: The, the music? Michelle,

Kara: Uhhuh, Michelle Kureshi.

Lorenda: you have to ask her about Aunt Pearl.

Kara: is she Aunt Pearl? Because she [00:41:00] said that you, your, her aunt came through and you That is funny.

Lorenda: funny.

Kara: And she's probably listening to this because she

Lorenda: Yeah,

Kara: listen. So. Hi Michelle. We love you. Um, wow. So she was,

Lorenda: all the messages, that's the one that stood out

Kara: yes, and I knew that Michelle's aunt had come in, but I didn't know what her aunt's name was.

Lorenda: Pearl

Kara: Yeah. And she said it was spot on, so.

Lorenda: to go with my

Kara: Oh my gosh.

Lorenda: wanna wear.

Kara: Wow. Well, we just came full circle really fast.

Lorenda: know.

Kara: whiplash.

Lorenda: It's funny how Spirit does that, isn't

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: It's just so weird. I love when people are like, that's so funny and weird how that happened. Mm, so

Kara: That's what we're talking about.

Lorenda: Yeah.

Kara: Well, you know, I know that, um, you are diligent about your energetic space and energetic hygiene. Can you tell us a little [00:42:00] bit about how you manage that, but also, have you ever felt that you've wandered into kind of uncomfortable territory on the other side? Either.

I'm, I'm kind of thinking like, oh, I don't actually want to connect. I don't like what I'm connecting with. I don't, I don't like where I, where I've found myself. So both of those things, how do you manage it and have you found yourself in that?

Lorenda: I, I have done a really good job working with my spirit guides because of my own fear base. Like, I don't ever wanna connect to someone's abuser.

Kara: Hmm.

Lorenda: I don't ever want to. Be triggered by, don't bring that energy into me. That's just one example. Um, and ultimately early on as I got to know my spirit guides, I said, alright, listen, so remember how I said I'm a big Leo energy and I like to pretend I'm famous and I have an entourage. I just have it [00:43:00] set up automatically that they run interference. So I, I will still do, like, I'll do an energy check, I'll step in, do a mind body spirit cleanse and like make sure everything's out. I have inadvertently, ironically, during A-Q-H-H-T, it wasn't even during mediumship

Kara: Oh.

Lorenda: So I had done A-Q-H-H-T. There was just something, I went from great mood to the person. Like there was just this big energy shift to the point where I called in a favor to a friend. I said, I need you to do some something.

Kara: Hmm.

Lorenda: went from pleasant to angry and mean and venomous. I'm like, what in the world just happened? And I'm like texting my friend who does reiki, she's all the way in California. And I said, I, I, something's up, [00:44:00] going on. And, and I think I fully believe in that moment that was a call to awareness for me to go, you know, you are susceptible to pick up people's energy, so we need to have this conversation of how do you protect yourself? And um, because that night she said, okay, you go to bed. I was grouchy the rest of the day. She goes, you go to bed. I'm gonna, I'm gonna work on you while you sleep. And I remember laying down and my brain as I'm in theta as I'm, I can feel myself going into theta. My brain's going a hundred miles an hour. I'm sound asleep. All of a sudden I sit up like it was in the middle of the night and I'd been asleep for a while. I sat straight up out of bed. I like breathed really heavily. I felt this enormous energy leave my body and I laid back down. I went to sleep. [00:45:00] I was fine the next day. And, and what she picked up from that and when we coordinated time, she was like, yep, I was working it.

'cause she was three hours difference.

Kara: Oh.

Lorenda: yeah. She goes, I didn't get, I didn't get to start on you till like one o'clock in the morning your time because I was so busy. And I said, that would make sense 'cause it was so bizarre and it never bothered me again. Now she said, so now the lesson here is you need to do some protection or at least set some boundaries in place. So I just have an understanding with my guides, um, with my protector guide that, listen, I just need you to run interference. I'm so a DD I'm gonna forget, and then I'm gonna come home and have some negative energy attached to me, and I don't need that in my life. So fix it. Thanks.

Kara: And that has been, so that's worked. Yeah.

Lorenda: Yeah. And, and now I will say when I do, like, when I step into a space of reading for other people, I make sure that I'm checking in with my guides.

I'm doing a meditation, I'm getting grounded. I'm doing all the [00:46:00] things. And yet you're right. Like the energetic hygiene is a big deal because I don't need to feel other people's stuff. Um, and then I just take my energy out of it. I don't make my energy accessible to others, if that makes sense.

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: just, this is mine, and you can show me in my mind's eye, I don't need to feel you, you don't need to get into my business unless I'm doing trance.

And even then, especially doing trance, I make sure that I am clear energetically and that we have a follow up with my protector and my, um, my joy guide who manages my energy and my alchemist. That if there's anything that I need to be aware of that they could just handle it, that'd be great.

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: You know,

Kara: I love that. I love that you have a joy guide or maybe we all have a joy guide.

Lorenda: we all do. Mm-hmm.

Kara: Because it makes me think of, um, inside Out, is that the movie where they've got like that, you know, there's a joy entity basically.

Lorenda: Yep. Yep. And that's exactly, that's exactly how I see it too. When I watch that [00:47:00] movie. What's funny is like, oh my gosh, that's my spirit team. That is my spirit team. So yes, we, we all have a joy guide. The Joy Guide is like our inner child. They, the one who sits with us when we're happy, sits, sits in our emotions.

They, they're with us in our emotions. Our, um, teacher guide that's, so my joy guide's name is Lily. So, and Dr. Mike is my teacher guide and he helps me learn things. He gives me a voice, he gives me knowledge, the downloads of things and teaches me new things and makes me aware of things that I should be stepping into or avoiding.

Kara: Hmm.

Lorenda: and then we all have an alchemist guide as well, which helps manage our mind, body, spirit complex. They're like, they're like the scientists of the group. we all have a protector guide and we all have a master teacher. Now the master teacher can come and go. And, and work with other people as well.

It all depends on what we're learning in the moment. So that's where other guides, so that, that's just a, that's my quick spirit guides 1 0 1 class in a nutshell. Um, but yes, we [00:48:00] all do have guides that have those type of jobs. What we call them is up to us.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: you know, it, it, it's, that's semantics. That's just putting a label on things because that's what our brain needs to do. Um, but we all have, we do have, we come in with a team of guides that, again, whether we acknowledge them our entire lives or not, have a job. What I have found is interesting, and maybe you can try this in one of your meditations, invite your joy guide 'cause they're the easiest to connect to, to come in, overshadow you in energy, connect mental mind to mental mind. Ask them how they wanna be seen, what they, what they wanna be called, and then ask them what you are learning from them today. And then ask 'em what they are learning from you.

Kara: Oh, okay.

Lorenda: Because I have been shown over and over again, we are a classroom project. It's just you and I, we just drew the short straw incarnate.

Kara: Yeah.[00:49:00] 

Lorenda: They are, we are a classroom project,

Kara: Hmm.

Lorenda: a group project. They still have jobs that they're learning from us by

Kara: I love that. Yeah.

Lorenda: just are all knowing. They're

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: anybody. That's why I think inside out so great. 'cause they're like, you know, run alert, run alert. You know,

Kara: Yeah. What do we do about this? Yeah,

Lorenda: you know,

Kara: yeah,

Lorenda: that? That's exactly how I feel like our spirit team is. Sometimes they're like, oh geez, wait, she's not doing what we thought we were. She was gonna do pivot.

Kara: yeah.

Lorenda: She's talking, do something different. How do we keep her from doing crazy things?

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: so that's how, uh, that's how I've been shown.

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: Our

Kara: I love that. Well, and you've brought up a couple of times the ethics of the work that you do, ethics with mediumship, ethics with psych, with using your psychic skills. I know this is really important to you. What does it mean to you to [00:50:00] to practice? Ethics in this line of work.

Lorenda: I'm so glad you asked about that because let me explain what that looks like. How many times have you been scrolling on TikTok and you see that reader, oh girl, you've got a demon attached to you and you need this and you need for $500. I'm gonna remove that hex for you. Or, oh girl, that person didn't cross over, or, oh, or the people that walk up.

I had said friend that told me I should do with this work. It's not my friend anymore. Because she would do things like walk up to strangers. Be like, hi, do you have a daughter? Has she been kidnapped? She actually said that to someone.

Kara: Wow.

Lorenda: I was like, oh, oh, we need to reevaluate this. Um, I think she's been kidnapped, and if she hasn't, she's going to be like, that was bizarre. That is a [00:51:00] unethical,

Kara: there any truth to that?

Lorenda: she was like, um, I have a daughter and no, that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. And, uh, NN no. And actually his daughter was grown

Kara: Hmm

Lorenda: but she was like, oh, she's a little girl and she's getting kidnapped. And it was just bizarre.

Kara: hmm. Yeah.

Lorenda: bizarre thing. And um, but that's, that is also when you have a gift of seeing something and you don't understand what it means, blurting it out as if it is fact.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: And, and we've seen, we have seen. Big name stars, Sylvia Brown, that have done that and gotten themselves in trouble because they assumed what they saw was fact. And instead of saying, this is what I'm seeing, as opposed to, oh no, I know this for a fact. And [00:52:00] the ethics are so important because have got, as a medium one, your job is to give spirit a voice, not to be a rockstar, not to be the center of attention.

You are literally the medium. You are just a bullhorn. Um, you wanna give spirit a voice, delivering a message. You wanna lead the sitter better than how you found them. I actually had, this is a good example of how ethics have been ingrained in my head for so long. I was at lunch with a friend Our server walks up and she's just like, we're like, oh, how are you today?

She's like, oh, I don't know. She starts telling us her business and I'm like, oh, okay. She needs a friend. It's fine. She's younger it's fine. And I'm like, my mama heart kicks in and um, and she's talking about this situation. And all of a sudden, keep in mind I have boundaries. If I'm out in the wild, having a human day, spirit doesn't come in [00:53:00] period. All of a sudden, I just know that her mom's there. I know nothing about this girl. She did not say her mom was on the other side. She was talking about a friend situation. And I go and her mom in my mind's eye, I feel her there and I see her go like, don't tell her I'm here.

Kara: Mm

Lorenda: And I was like, okay. And she's asked, she's saying something about a friend going through a situation and out of my mouth says, alright, I'm a mama of three adults.

Can I give you some advice? And I gave her my mom advice. What I would, her mom,

Kara: mm

Lorenda: I channeled what her mom would tell her. And I couldn't even tell you what that advice was at this point because I channeled it. And I, and she's like, oh, that's genius. I, I never would've thought that. She goes, oh, you know, this is one of those days where I just really miss my mom.

'cause [00:54:00] I'd know she'd know what to say.

Kara: Oh.

Lorenda: And I go, you know what? I'm happy to fill that void today, and I hope this works out with you and your friend. And I, I know it will, it'll be fine. And she goes, you know, I just know that my Lord savior Jesus Christ, and that she went down the rabbit hole of religion.

And then that's why her mom and her mom goes

Kara: Oh, interesting.

Lorenda: like, she would never. She was

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: to receive that information. If I were to say to her, you know, your dead, your dead mother's here,

Kara: Right,

Lorenda: mother's spirit's here, and she says this, that could have freaked her out. And she would've been like, oh my God, she talks to demons now.

Kara: right.

Lorenda: I, her mom had not passed too long prior to that. People have to be in a place where they can receive that information and, and as an ethically trained medium, I don't just provide stuff out in the wild. People are like, but Theresa Caputo does. No, she doesn't. She has producers. I've been on reality tv. She has producers. They go [00:55:00] out ahead of time, preset the scene, get the, get the signatures.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: Every, every person on dance moms that's in the audience had to sign.

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: to sign a waiver, know, to be in an audience. So what makes you think that Theresa Kato is just in there picking out bananas and talking about, talking to people about their. Loved ones. not how it works.

Kara: yeah.

Lorenda: You know, you've gotta give per, you need to have permission, and that is where ethics comes in. It's also, you know, just not taking advantage of people,

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: them things like, oh, your mom is stuck because you love her too much and you're not letting her go. That is unethical. And I've actually seen that, I've seen people say that

Kara: Mm

Lorenda: and, and that just, and then you've got this person who's like, oh my gosh, I, how it's my fault. They're not in heaven,

Kara: mm. Yeah.

Lorenda: you know? So, yes, ethics is huge

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: it, it's what I [00:56:00] teach on day one.

Kara: Mm-hmm.

Lorenda: comes to me, that's day one,

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: conversation.

Kara: I love that because I do feel like a lot of people when it comes to engaging with psychics, and whether that is trans channeling, mediumship, whatever, but you're having to suspend a lot of judgment and you're in a very vulnerable place. Usually, like if you're seeking out a psychic medium, you wanna connect with the other side.

That's a vulnerable place to be in.

Lorenda: Mm-hmm.

Kara: it's really important that one. That people who are practicing that are having ethics be front and center, but also so that people who are seeking out those services think about it as well. Because there are, there's a spectrum of service that you can get depending on who you go with.

So to be aware that it's important for you to receive ethically as well. So some of these [00:57:00] red flags to just pay attention to if that's happening and move on.

Lorenda: Well, and another, another good example that I like to give people when you, when they'll, they'll come to me for psychic readings and they'll want to. Does my boyfriend love me? I'm like, I don't know. I feel like if you're asking, um, a whole other deep dive conversation. Um, is Joey my

Kara: Twin flame. Yeah.

Lorenda: not. Or

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: that doesn't probably mean what you think it means.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: be here to teach you a lesson of how to break up

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: with someone and not deal with it. Um, but also, you know, for years I heard for years that I was gonna be divorced from my now husband. And, over and over and like we had our issues.

We had a lot going on when our kids were younger. Life was ing, that's for sure. And every psychic I went to was like, oh, you're gonna be divorced and you're gonna be [00:58:00] married to somebody else. I'm like, girl, no, no, I've already, I already divorced my first husband. It, we're not doing this a third time. Are you kidding me?

I'll go live on an island by myself. With, with an, with dogs. Like, we're just gonna there and, um, and over and over again. I heard you'll be with someone different. That to me, I was setting myself up for years of fear of being alone and not, and they, it kind of had me in a choke hold for a long time. And, and we ended up, we ended up separating and I tell the story o often, so we ended up separating. But then because of that, we both changed. We both changed, but he really stepped into the energy of, oh, this is serious. And he made the changes that were necessary to save our marriage for me to be willing to [00:59:00] step back into that conversation.

So, you know what, I am, we did separate and I am married to a very different person now than what I was then. That didn't mean I got divorced. So all those mediums. So now I'm very mindful as a medium, as a second medium. And when somebody says, you know, what do you see for my future? Or, you know, I don't, if I see there's a separation or if there is, if like the death card comes up, whatever. I will say, would you understand this being a problem, this being a problem, this being a problem? This is where I see the fork in the road. If you go this way, this is what's gonna happen. If you go this way, this is gonna, because you know what? I could tell you tomorrow that you're gonna die by driving off of a cliff.

And then you're gonna say, or I could just not by a cliff.

Kara: Yeah. Right.

Lorenda: We have, we have free will, we have discernment and, and to, and for someone just to be like, I, oh my gosh. I even had a client was like, [01:00:00] I was told 20 years ago that I, someone walked up to me at the store, told me 20 years ago that I was gonna die. Before my 67th birthday,

Kara: What?

Lorenda: and I turned 67 in a month. Do you see me dying?

Kara: Oh my gosh. Wow. I.

Lorenda: well, I ask Spirit not to show me inevitable death. Like if, if it's meant to be. If that is your death, that's your death day. That's it. And it should not be stopped then I'm not gonna see it. If it is something that's preventable, that you are gonna have a moment of clarity, a moment of choice that could be preventable, then I'm asked to relay that information help stop something that should be stopped or could be stopped. And, said, if it makes you feel any better, I, I don't see it. also that doesn't mean anything, you

Kara: Yeah,

Lorenda: know?[01:01:00] 

Kara: we're on the island,

Lorenda: Yeah, we're on the island of dogs and clearly someone is invading the island right now,

Kara: You are well protected.

Lorenda: boat going by the island. And she's gonna go, she's gonna go crazy here for just a hot second till they're done walking by.

Kara: That's all right. I've got one of those too.

Lorenda: So going back to the, you know, as we have an obligation as mediums to present as psychics, as card readers to present the options and the choices and the upcoming. Whatever's gonna happen if you have a choice. But for people just to walk up. And that woman lived with that, lived with that fear.

And this is what I told her when she said, I was told I was gonna die like this year before this year. oh, fast forward, that was a year ago, and she's still alive.

Kara: Just saying,

Lorenda: she did not, she did not die from, from whatever. so she lived with that fear [01:02:00] for 20 years.

Kara: oh my gosh.

Lorenda: that. And I will tell people, okay, so say someone did walk up to you and tell you had, you know, you, you were gonna die in a month.

Are you gonna sit on your couch and go, well, woe is me. I'm dying in a month. are you gonna do everything you possibly can to live your best life? Because you know what, guess what? Whether you were told that or not, you could have died 20 years ago the next day.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: We're not guaranteed anything.

Kara: Right.

Lorenda: live your life as if tomorrow's your last day.

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: Live your life with integrity. Be as authentic as you possibly can. Live in love, live in light. Don't live in fear and, and how do you thrive? How do you move forward and, and live your best life? Not knowing when your last day is.

Kara: Yeah. Well said. I love it. Well, Lorenda, this has been so much fun. I've loved connecting with you. Please tell everybody how they can find you and work with [01:03:00] you and, and you're, I know you, you're really active on TikTok, for example.

Lorenda: I am,

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: I'm very active on, I love TikTok. I wish I didn't, but I love it. Um, it's the dopamine drive where I can just say, Ooh,

Kara: Yeah.

Lorenda: so yes, you can find me at, uh, lorenda carr.com is my website. And then on Thursday mornings I do a show called The Crowned Medium, uh, where every, I've always, I've always got a crown on, um, where I'm, I'm doning a crown, and, uh, and sometimes I'll have guests on, you've been a guest on

Kara: Yes. We had a lot of fun.

Lorenda: had so much fun. And sometimes I'm just on there rambling about whatever spirit tells me to do. Um, Thursday mornings from 10 to noon Eastern standard time. And, um, yeah. But otherwise, like my, my website, I'm also Lorenda Car Medium on YouTube, TikTok. Uh, Facebook, Instagram, all, all of the things. And I do have an upcoming project, by the way,

Kara: Ooh.

Lorenda: my friend, uh, Carrie cos [01:04:00] another psychic medium and mentor, as well as Michelle, the one, Michelle Oiler, the one who told me, uh, listen, you're a medium.

So just that one. She, the three of us are starting our own POS podcast called The Liminal Lounge.

Kara: Ooh,

Lorenda: And we're gonna be launching that, um, January 22nd. And we're gonna just release one a month with nothing fancy, nothing big, just talking about spiritual stuff and hoping that people can be empowered and learn something new.

So when they sit in front, when they do that appointment with someone, they feel like they can ask good questions. They feel empowered to get the most out of their time with a, with a psychic and also. Empowering people to step into their own spirituality and meet their own team. So that's, that's what I've got on my agenda.

You can also see 'em at Camp Chesterfield once a month typically. Um, and yeah, so I've got, I got a whole lot of things going on.

Kara: yes. One busy woman.
