Two women, Alessandra and Valeria, are introducing themselves and discussing the reasons behind starting their podcast, "Becoming Unveiled." They believe that their conversations are divinely guided and want to share their inspiration with others. They talk about the power and responsibility of being a woman and how their journeys have led them to a constant state of growth and evolution. Alessandra shares her experience of traveling and how it helped her overcome mental health challenges. They believe that sharing their knowledge and wisdom is important and that their gifts are meant to be shared with others.
It is 1144 in Mexico City. It is 144 in Miami, Florida. We tried to do 11111111, but instead we got 444. We love that. We are being divinely guided. We have the 111. Welcome to the Becoming Unveiled Podcast. Welcome. We're here. We made it. Who are you again? Hi, I'm Alessandra Cruz. This is my co-host, Valeria Valentina. Her name sounds so, like, in Spanish. I know, right? Thank goodness. Yeah, so much more yummy and, like, sensual sounding.
In my humble opinion. And mine as well. I think that we really have the whole artist name going for us. Our parents did us good. Our parents did us well. This is such an exciting journey to be diving into. The great commencement. The great commencement of Becoming Unveiled. Just peeling back all the way. Yes, every step of the way. Here we are. Excited. Why are we here? Why did we do this? Why did we come here? To chitchat.
I feel like we came here to chitchat because whenever we chitchat, like, portals open and divine guidance comes through. It almost feels selfish to just keep it to ourselves. Like, I feel like we can't just, like, keep it to ourselves for our own little convo. Like, we must share it with the collective so that other people can feel the inspiration and be divinely guided. Yes, absolutely. It was so beautiful as well, just, like, how organic it came to be.
You were just like, let's start a podcast. Do you remember, like, what made me say that in the first place? The conversation we had? Yeah. We were talking about relationships, about the intricacies of sensuality, of our sexuality, of how potent and powerful our energy is, and how we harness it, how we channel it. Yeah, and you said something about, like, women being the void. Like, our wombs are literally the void, which I found so profound, and I've, like, repeated that in my own circles, and I'm having one tonight, so I'm going to repeat it again.
It's so beautiful. We are. We're literally just, the womb is this, like, endless opportunity for creation. It's, like, you never know what can come out of it. It's just limitless potential, and it's so beautiful to be able to be someone who does hold a womb, you know, and to be aware of it as well. The potency that lies within the womb. Oh my god, yes, and I think to be born as a woman is not a coincidence.
I think it's a big responsibility to be a woman, and I think that we are chosen to be women because we're ready to assume all of this responsibility. So whenever people are like, oh, being a woman's so hard, which it can be, for sure, but I love being a woman. I love being a woman. That sound right now that's going viral, oh, how I love being a woman. Like, I love being a woman. I wouldn't trade up for the world.
No, no, because it's like, and coming back to that responsibility, it's, like, well and truly such an honor to be chosen to walk this earth and be like, hey, you get to choose what kind of being is going to be coming out of you and influencing the future generations, influencing the progression or the regression of society. And it's like, oh, wow, so I have to choose someone, right? Yeah, this person and I, we will create a truly evolved, a more evolved being that's going to be better than us.
I've been thinking about that a lot recently. The very simple, very in order reality of our evolution. It does feel like, of course, you take a hundred steps forward and a couple steps back, but to me it really does feel like a forward moving motion. It's like the future, right, too. You're always climbing into the future, climbing into the next moment, and that's how I feel about my evolution. Last night I had to sleep at my mom's house, and I hadn't been back in that room in so long to sleep.
And it just felt like, whoa, I've evolved so much since I was last here. Yeah, it's so beautiful. We're just constantly growing, constantly evolving now. I mean, you would only hope so. You would only hope so. Wow. Especially us and people on the path, I guess. Everyone's on the path, whether you're consciously aware of it or not, but people who are consciously on the path, putting one foot in front of the other consciously, it feels that way.
It really feels like this constant evolution. More of this becoming and unveiling, which is exactly what the title describes of the podcast. But I think we should get into intros. It's so funny how our spaces are like same, same, but different. Yes, I love it. And my ADHD brain needs to move this out of the frame, so I'm just going to do that. For those of you that are just listening, Ellen just had to go and move something off her couch.
I have a lioness caftan on my couch that I'm going to wear tonight, but it was only half in the frame and it just looked like a crinkly fabric in the frame, so we moved it. So we moved it. Your background is just so earthy. It's like yummy greens and browns. And mine is like color pop explosion. I love it. It's also very simple, though. It's not too much. So Vale, who are you? I'm going to go first.
Isn't it crazy that question, though? Who are you? It's so loaded. It is. It's so loaded and it's so simple, really, because I am simply who I am, right? This would be my most philosophical self. In reality, of course, I would play into the paradox of humanity. However, in reality I am the voice that you hear. I am simply this being that's existing right here, right now, and that's it. That's simply who I am. And it's such a trip, though.
It's like this voice that's reverberating through the speakerphone and hitting your ear, and then there's just a human 3D body and a soul and a spirit in there. There's so much more. There's so much more because then I'm human and so I have a story, right? Am I the story? Well, the story definitely has to do with who I have resulted out to be, which I love and adore. Yeah. So I suppose my story commences within I am a first-generation Venezuelan-American.
I was born in Miami. However, we left up to Atlanta when I was eight years old. My parents are... My mom is this woman with a stellium in Pisces. Whoa, I did not know that. And for those of us who do not know, Pisces is a 12th sign. The zodiac is a story, right? When you come to the 12th sign, it's a water sign, and it's all of spirituality. It's that rebirth, that entire integration of all of the other 11 signs into this final incarnation, in a way.
It doesn't mean there's a hierarchy or levels. It doesn't mean that a Pisces is this or that. It just means that they just have this affinity for a connection to magic, to spirituality, to depth, right, within this reality. So I definitely attribute her for always having this affinity for exploring more. Exploring more within the spiritual realm. Exploring more within the depths of our being. Exploring more within who we are. My Aquarius sun, Sagittarius moon, and Leo rising, and well, there's so much more, but we'll stay there, rebelled a lot.
Curiosity, of course, within the Sagittarius moon. The adventurer. However, as we all do, we have that whole period of time where we're just questioning everything, and the Aquarius, the question of the Aquarius is why. The statement is that we just have a why for everything, and thanks to that why, I began to produce this philosophical adventure, I suppose we could say. It's just writing. I'm a poet, and I've always just written and just tried to decipher the intricacies of life, tried to decipher my own feelings, tried to decipher the feelings that I feel projected onto me, and yeah, I feel like my entire life, as I'm sure your Sagittarius placements also very much so feel, is a dedication to a pursuit of knowledge.
It's a dedication to a pursuit of wisdom, a dedication to a pursuit of the betterment of the self. And society. Even though we force anything upon anyone, we better ourselves to be able to teach others if they would like to listen. Exactly, exactly. Everything is meant to be shared, right? What good is any of it if it's not shared? Which is why we're doing this, right? Because we hold so much beautiful knowledge and wisdom, and it's like, what good is it if it's not shared? What good is it if it's not? It's not any good.
Our gifts are meant to be shared. Yes, without all the intricacies of the story of my life, I feel that, yeah, within also that Sagittarius placement, I feel like I'm a nomad, right? I've just been traveling. My first time out of the country was when I was 17. I went to Europe, and then I just was like, oh my gosh, there's so much world to see. I need to keep going. Where were you? Was that 2017? When I was 17? No.
When I was 17, I was 16. Wait, no, I'm 98. That was, oh my gosh, 2015? No, it was 2016. It was 2016. Yeah. And where did you go? Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, Luxembourg. I think that was that first one, yeah. That was the first one. Yeah. And I just loved it so much, and so I saved up all my coins, and I went by myself two years later for a summer, and I just kept traveling and kept finding myself.
I dealt with chronic severe depression, suicidal ideation, acute PTSD, and panic attacks throughout those years of my life, and I really attribute those experiences to my now heights and my now joy and my now happiness because as the rule of alchemy goes, as deep as you go is as high as you will reach. And so I feel like within the realm of traveling, leaving the space where all those experiences and diagnoses and all these things came from, where that story came, and then leaving and being like, oh my gosh, there's so much more to see.
It actually doesn't all have to be attached to me because I can simply choose to leave. And then I can simply choose to be gifted by this new atmosphere, this new energy, a new perspective. And each time that I found myself leaving the physical space, you know, they say you can't run away from your issues, but it wasn't running away from issues, it was running towards a newness, it was running towards an expansion, you know. Resolution.
Yes, yes. And so, yeah, then I just went to college, it was pretty tough there, I ventured down avenues, many drugs and alcohol, you know, as it goes, right? But to be completely transparent because we're unveiling, right, everything. And so, yeah, it was like, it was crazy and then I tripped on acid. And I had an ego death. Everyone else was having a great time, and I was dying. Literally, literally. And so, that was so crazy and I feel like that was what clicked.
I was like, oh, whoa, what's happening, what is this, right? And so, after you come out of it and you're like, oh, I didn't actually die, but that trip, it brings you to some form of realization every single time that you face death. And I was 19 at this point, and I was like, I just kept coming to a realization, I was like, oh no, no, no, no, life is a joke. Like, life is not meant to be taken so seriously.
Why do I take everything so seriously? Like, life is a joke. And then I'd be like, oh my God, I'm dying again. And it'd be like different scenarios of me, like some form of story being convinced onto me that I was dying in a car wreck or whatever it may be. And yeah, then I'd just be like, oh wait, no, that wasn't even true. And then I'd be like, life is a joke, life is a joke.
And so, from then on, I just started to see this reality. I would even pivot and say that was sort of an awakening point, regardless of all the spiritual experiences. But for me, for my story, it was that point of oh, life is a joke, in the most beautiful way. It's just meant to be taken lightheartedly. Of course, there's the depth and the passion and hello, somos latinas. It's like we need it, right? But at the same time, it's like it's so light.
And it gets to be. It gets to be. And the more you talk, the layers, the lighter it gets. Yes, ah, yes, the shedding of cloaks, right? It just like, it like frees you. So happy. Yes, the stories. Take off the down coat that you've been wearing and you didn't even realize it was suffocating you and then you just take a big, deep breath and go, yes. Like, yes, magic is so present and I was just sitting here looking through that foggy window.
Yeah, and that foggy window tends to manifest as stories, as attachments to trauma, as attachments to things that have happened for us, instead of I mean, to us, instead of viewing it as something that has happened for us. And so, yeah, I have to repeat that, like, in case someone didn't catch it. Things don't happen to us, they happen for us. Always. And like, the sooner we learn that, the easier it gets to move through the things that happen.
Exactly. It's like stepping out of that role of the victim. Because I feel as though all those diagnoses that had come onto me, I was just victim. The reason that they manifested so profoundly was because I was victimizing myself for the traumatic experiences that I had held, for the love that I didn't get from my father, for every, all of these different things, for you know, not feeling seen within friendships, not feeling held, not really feeling connected to anyone because, yeah, I was homeschooled.
And I'd go, we'd go to different schools. There were like three or so days a week. I did public school a few times, but I always just felt like the black sheep, the outcast, the one that was bullied and picked on and just not seen for who I was. And so, instead of rising above that and being like, no, I mean, I was a kid, right? But, you know, I just allowed that story to play out until my early 20s.
Well, I'm 26 now, so it's not really that long ago. But, you know, like, yeah, 19, that trip, I realized, I was like, none of those stories even exist. And I just started to, like, pursue like, a creation of the self. And now, here we are, seven years later. I really feel like I'm in a place where I can stand on a podium and be like, hey, this is exactly who I am. This is my story.
And I am so honored and proud of my becoming, of my embodiment. Yeah. So, that's a little bit of our gist, but I feel like the gist of Valeria Valentina. But I feel like we're going to dive into so much more. So, I would love to hear more on your story. Because I feel like, honestly, we haven't done this. Oh, we haven't. I learned a lot about you. A lot, yeah. I didn't, yeah. Wow. For me, I would love to hear how, like, poetry has influenced your life and guided you.
The experience of being a poet. Oh, I love that. Thank you for asking such a beautiful question. I started writing poetry when I was eight, when we moved to Atlanta from Miami. Because that was the first time that I felt, like, really sad. And, like, I clearly remember just being like, damn, like, I left all my friends. Like, you know, at first I was really excited. But then I didn't feel like I fit in anywhere. And, you know, I spoke Spanglish.
And, like, it was just, like, people, they were just making fun of me, kids and stuff. And so, I started to write. And I remember just, like, writing, like, little, like, notes. And little sad moments. And as I progressed throughout my years, it just started to become this, like, medicine. And sometimes I entered a phase of numbness from around the age of 15 to 20 where I didn't really feel much. And so, in order to understand or have some form of grasp on what was occurring, I had to put pen to paper.
And I felt like in those moments I would then look back and be like, oh, that's what I'm feeling. Okay. You know? It was, like, this dialogue, this open dialogue with myself. And now it's, I mean, I literally, I just, I'm literally, I'm holding onto so many journals, like, right in front of me. It's, like, because now it's not so much of, like, understanding what I'm not feeling, but it's more of understanding what I am feeling and what I am seeing and what it is that I should do and how I should move because sometimes the thoughts just get so overwhelming and so, you know, just pen to paper and, yeah, it's this, like, romance, you know, because it comes out so eloquently and so beautifully.
And it's like, oh, like, even that quote-unquote ugly feeling is now just this, like, incredible soliloquy of a flow of words that have now come to loosely define because, you know, words are a shortcoming of ours, however, loosely define what it is that I am going through or what it is that I am going to do. And so that's poetry to me. That's poetry. Wow. One of your friends actually brought something to my attention that it's called spelling because you're casting a spell.
How insane. And, like, within this world of spirituality and mysticism, like, writing is just such a nourishment. Yes. Yes, Alessandra Cruz. Alessandra. I guess we can even just, like, start with my name. Ah, yes. Oh, my gosh. I love my name. I think it's, like, my name is poetry. Not in, like, a conceited way, like, I didn't choose it. No. Confidence, baby. Obviously. Or maybe I chose it and I told her what I wanted it to be in the womb.
I think I've really grown into my name. Like, my nickname is Ale. I think that's also, like, you know, important to say. I go by Ale by, like, everyone. And it wasn't until the university that my friends started calling me Alessandra, which was funny because they were all, like, southern girls, like Nashville, Atlanta, Savannah, and they would just call me by my full name because they couldn't say Ale. So they're like, we'll just say Alessandra. And so I think it means, like, the savior of mankind.
What? My dog just dropped. Yeah. And I feel like you kind of, like, come to embody your name or use your name as, like, a quest and a purpose. And I feel like my purpose is to, like, heal and inspire others to see their own light. Not even heal, just pull back the layers so that they can embody their most radiant self. So that's Alessandra. So beautiful! I am a first-generation Cuban-American. So we have Venezuela and we have our Cuba, which is so spicy.
Welcome to the Becoming Unveiled podcast with a splash of spicy. I'm sure you'll come to experience. And I was born and raised on Miami Beach, which was such a crazy experience. Like, it is exactly as it sounds. Like, being raised on a beach that is a party capital, surrounded by all of this, like, literal chaos and, like, boats and cars and drugs and half-naked people running around all the time affects you the way you would imagine that it would.
You know? And so, of course, like, anyone grows up in a bubble. But I was really, like, in a bubble. Like, this was so normal to me. But I think it also created such a multi-dimensional environment and, in turn, being that I moved through and became. My parents always took me to Art Basel, to the theater, and so I was constantly surrounded by art. Miami is such an artistic city, and so it really influenced me from such a young age.
And I'd say, like, I was always... I've always been who I am, but I definitely evolved into who I've become. But I remember being in elementary school and getting a prompt for an essay that I had to write. And I still remember the feeling of, like, having to write. And I wrote this essay, and my mom picked me up from school. And I have a twin brother, by the way. His name is Paulo. And we were walking hand-in-hand with my mom, and I was just beaming.
I was like, whoa, I just wrote this essay. And it was like, I went on this whole exploration of this imaginary world. And I think that's when I became a writer in that moment. And writing is truly my number one calling. And the process of embodying being a writer is a scary thing for me, for some reason. Like, I've always chose every path except for writing. And now I'm like, it must be. So part of who I am as a writer, and then it's, like, this teacher and guide.
And so I went through school on Miami Beach. And when it was time to pick universities, I didn't know what to do. I couldn't be placed anywhere. I thought I wanted to go to Colorado. And then my mom does it say time lasts nine minutes? Yeah, it does. Alright, so always, like, start a new one and put it together. I'll try to wrap it up. I think I can wrap it up. No, I don't want you to feel that.
So hold on. So we're gonna stop. Thank you. We're back. We're back. As much as I want to do things right, since there's no thing as perfection, like, I do not strive for perfection. So it's like, we might cut that out. We might not. Like, who cares? Who cares? Yeah, we had a little blip moment, technological. But we're back. So you were talking about the moment that you realized that you were a writer. I realized I just, like, loved being in the words.
Being in the mercurial, like, mercury. In the words, in the magic of words and information. Your Gemini mood. Yes, that's like, I guess that'll lead me into my astrology, which goes perfectly with the next thing of life's path. So I'm a Sagittarius Sun. I have a stellium of Sag in the 8th house. And for people who aren't, like, as, like, nose deep in astrology, a stellium just means, like, you have multiple planets in a sign. So I have my Venus in Sag, Mercury in Sag, Sun in Sag, and Pluto in Sag.
So there's a lot of Sag energy, which is, like, to me, the best thing in the world. Like, I wouldn't want to be any other sign. It's like the quest for knowing and adventure, but, like, in not so deep of a way. But then I have a Gemini Moon. Your moon is your brain, your emotions, your feelings, your emotional waters. And Gemini, an astrologer that I love, love, love said once that the Gemini is the oracle.
So it literally must know the information. Like, it's like the librarian. Like, that is the Gemini archetype. Information, conversation, which is just so good for this podcast, and for being a writer. Sometimes my Gemini Moon will really, like, take me down with overthinking and being too heady, because it's an air sign. And, like, when you're thinking, it's already, like, a very air-like quality. But then you add, like, your moon placement there. So befriending my moon has been an adventure.
The moon is actually currently in Gemini, and so is the sun. So it's the perfect time to launch a pod, which we'll get into later. And then I'm a Taurus rising, which, thank God for that. Thanks, Mama. My mom had a C-section, so she chose the time of my birth. I was also removed from the womb. We did not come out of the birth canal. We were removed from the womb. My Taurus qualities are just, like, literally, if you're not watching, like, I'm, like, putting a bouquet of flowers, like, into the frame.
Because, like, that is just so Taurus Venusian, ruled by Venus. I mean, and even, like, your outfit right now, like, your gold bangles. It's just, like, I love that top. You look incredible. You're my love. So, yeah. So then I was, like, all right, time to pick the next part of life, right? Like, graduating high school and, like, it's the first time you get to really, like, make a conscious decision to choose where you go next.
Like, all other steps in life are chosen for you, and then it's time to choose the university. And your parents were, like, where do you want to go? And I was, like, I want to go to Colorado, because it was more like the Earth. I just wanted to be in the Earth, literally. But that also felt kind of, like, forced. And then one day a pamphlet came in the mail of Florida State University first year abroad.
And Florence, Italy was just, like, on the cover. And my mom, who is a Sagittarius rising and flew for Pan Am when she graduated college, said, well, if it were up to me, this is what I would do. And I was, like, no. Like, I want to, like, be barefoot wearing Birkenstocks in Colorado. And then I looked at the pamphlet, and I, like, saw Florence, and I was, like, oh, my God. Like, I will do nothing else.
Like, this is my path. And so I went and I traveled all over Europe for a year, and then I lived in London for the summer. And before that, this is my ADD brain, like, bouncing around. But before that, in high school is when I first discovered my spirituality. I found myself in lotus pose, intuitively deciding to align my chakras with an astral project, as one does. Yeah, literally taking plant medicine, reading Osho. Like, I was just, like, in the crux of this new world.
And I would literally, like, leave my body. Like, and I was, like, okay, this is normal. Like, just, like, sitting outside meditating, like, leaving my body. I was, like, oh, yeah, like, this is normal. Like, I see a silver cord, like, pressing my belly button and, like, extending up as my spirit, like, roams the astral realm. And I'm, like, yeah, duh. Like, doesn't everyone have this experience? And I was reading all the things and discovering myself.
I think it was also a way to make it all okay. Growing up in, I was blessed to have incredible parents. But, you know, everyone has their stuff, you know. And it was my way to make it all okay. My parents were divorced. And there was this constant going back and forth between houses and people-pleasing tendencies, right? Because as a child, you just, like, want your parents to be okay. And it almost feels like your responsibility to make everything okay.
But it's, like, then what about me? Like, how am I going to make it okay? And I found the world of spirituality. And I honestly feel like it's why I turned out as, like, chillin' as I did. Because I found the tool that, like, 16. And when I moved to Europe, I definitely parted from my ways of meditation. But for me, traveling is a spiritual experience. Like, taking a plane and visiting new countries and meeting the people, meeting the locals, like, what that does for me is more profound than what hours and meditation does for me.
But, like, at this point in my life, I can't be, like, jetting off every weekend. So I do lotus pose instead. And it works. It's like, if I can't quest around the world, I quest inside. And the two things nourish me. Like, this quest of going inward and discovering and becoming. And then this outward quest of, like, seeing the world and seeing the cultures, which is so profound. Like, it is the best thing ever. And then I graduated university and I became a little corporate girly.
My horizon was, like, I want the check. And I want luxury. And I just want things to be, like, beautiful and luxurious. And it truly was the easy way out. Like, I think that not to, like, look down upon or think. Anyway, like, not to, like, say that the corporate life isn't good. Because I think, like, for a lot of people, it works and it's what we quest around, right? Yeah, it's necessary. It's all necessary. Exactly.
But for me, it was not. Like, it was, like, soul sucking. I was at Accenture, which is a top, top consulting firm. Then I worked for Snapchat through them. Helping other people's campaigns succeed. And helping other people buy random, like, eye drops through an AR lens or treats or, like, the randomest stuff, like, Bitcoin, like, whatever. And then I was, like, no, I literally can't do this. But my team was so amazing. Like, it was so chill.
And, you know, like, the money hit the bank account. Every other Friday at the same time, same amount. And it was, like, helped me sustain the lifestyle that I wanted. But I was miserable. Like, miserable. Like, I was not okay. And I, for a year, I was, like, I can't do this. I can't do this. And then I started the practice of Kundalini Yoga. And if anyone's done Kundalini Yoga, it makes you see things so clearly, so fast.
It gives you the cojones to make changes in your life. Because there's no other way. Like, the truth becomes so loud that you can't deny your truth. And so I started practicing Kundalini Yoga. And I was, like, I can't do this anymore. Like, I must make a change. And my mom was, like, well, you need to find another job. And deep down, I knew that, like, my job wasn't going to be just, like, a new company that hired me, that there was, like, something greater and bigger.
But I didn't know, like, what that was or what that would be. So I just took another corporate job. And I worked for The Real Real, which is a fabulous company. But still, like, it was just buying myself time until I truly realized that my purpose was spirituality and writing. And then I worked there for, like, four months, I want to say. And then one day, again, like, the truth just got so loud that I couldn't deny it.
And I made the jump into this world of, like, mystic spirituality women circles hosting these abundant, like, supper clubs and writing. And now the money doesn't hit my paycheck. Or the paycheck doesn't hit for another week. You know? It's like I literally go out and, like, earn it. And wake up and earn it. And it created such a respect for money. Or it was like I was so detached from money. And it was, like, everything is an energy, right? And it was like I had no relationship to it.
It was just coming through. And I was unhappy earning it. And, like, now it's this dance with finances, which is actually really beautiful. That's, like, a conversation for another time. And so who am I? Yeah. Who am I? Like, I'm a writer. I am a yogi at the end of the day. And I'm just a people person. Like, I just love humans. And I just want to connect with them and see what lights them up and move their world through them so that everything is just really freaking bright.
And magical. And, like, who I am is, like, for the other. But it's also for me. And this, like, transformation every single day. And, you know, it's exhausting sometimes. Because everything is, like, everything is a spiritual quest. But it's, like, I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's so beautiful. Whoa! Ladies and gentlemen. Wow. That's so beautiful. Cruz y Valeria Valentina. Here to be of service. Have you heard the song Born to Give by Willow? Yeah, I love with Javahani Harrison or something.
Yes. That song, I feel like that's their soundtrack. It's, like, we're here. Born to give. Born to just be the most the best versions of ourselves in order to provide those around us with the best mirror. The best reflection. The best reflection. Yeah. It's so beautiful. So what's our intention with this podcast, right? This is who we are. This is, you know, what has brought us here. Give or take some details that will transpire as we get to know each other more with this podcast.
I feel like we should all, like, take a collective deep breath. I love that. You know? I feel like I need a deep breath. No, I think it's just, like, grounding into the space again. So if you're driving, don't close your eyes, but close down your eyes and just feel the eyelids shut together heavy and take a deep breath in to the belly, to the chest, and exhale out of the mouth. One more time. Last one.
Deep breath into the belly, the chest, exhale out of the mouth. And gently open your eyes. And, like, there's just, even if it's just, like, the slightest shift, like, there was a shift. Did you feel that? Yeah. Like, I feel it too. And, like, I feel like that's part of this. Just, like, the shift. The shift. It's the shift, like, away from the zoom in to the zoom out. And just peeling back the layers to reveal your most authentic, radiant self.
Like, taking off this veil. And just helping people see that life is not this illusion. Like, my teacher says, like, glitch your matrix. Even if just one thing that Valer or I said in the pod, like, glitched your matrix a little to, like, live happier, live more authentically. That's my intention. What's yours? I love that. I love that. Yeah, it's just coming back again to that. Just showing up and being, like, hey, I hope to inspire.
You know? I hope that we can inspire through our words, through our conversation, through our energy. For others to join this path of becoming unveiled. Of stripping back the layers and truly embodying the true authentic being that we are. Because that's where our power lies. The more authentic we are, the more power that we hold within the realm of frequencies. When you go to measure, you know, there's, within quantum physics, there is different tools that have been, like, made to measure energy.
And just the word authenticity is one of the most it is the most high-vibrating word within our dictionary, within the English language. And so I feel like there's a lot of power. A lot of power. You just choose to be you. Past not the stories. Past it all. It's just you. Yeah. And my teacher says the more you, you become, the more magnetic you become. So it's like, who are we trying to be? And we feel it.
We don't even, like, this whole thing of, like, being who I am. It's like, no, you know when you're in your authenticity, in your presence, you feel it. Like, there's the friends that make you feel that way. There's the activities that make you feel that way. The actions. And when you do something that makes you feel so out of that, you also know that it's not right and authentic for you. So just, like, cutting the other stuff that you don't do and, like, being your most authentic self.
And sometimes it is this process of discovering, which all of these conversations and these tools will hopefully assist people in discovering their true authentic path. And it just becomes so fun. Like, life actually, even though it's, like, this deepness, like, it's also so fun. And, like, literally the first time I met Vale, I meant to say this after you talked about yourself, but the first time, well, the first time I met you was one thing, but the first time we, like, actually hung out, like, who is this being of light? Like, I was just like, whoa, like, you were just so you and, like, just, like, dazzled through the space of the coffee shop to the counter and, like, I was just like, who is this little star of a being like, shining so bright? Like, it was wild and I knew it was because you had done the work of unveiling.
Yes, yes, and you, too. I mean, you, like, when, you know, we come into communion with someone and it's this, like, beautiful mirror and it was just, like, I, after our first, like, our matcha lemonade date, that matcha lemonade was so good, literally, I remember, I was, like, I was buzzing. I was, like, I need Alessandra in my life, like, forever. That's crazy that you felt that way. I really did and I remember I was flying out that day, like, I was, like, I have to see her, like, and I'm there and I'm, like, oh, my God and you're, like, you're flying as soon as I was, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll make it, but, like, this is so important to me and I just, I felt, like, and, you know, tapping into human design, it's that magic of the projector and the Manny Jen, it's, like, we really just see each other, this beautiful energy, yeah, and I was just ah, it's just such a beautiful mirror and I'm so, so honored and so, so grateful and everything that you just said that you see in me, I want to see in you, like, I messaged you on, I DMed you on your story and I was, like, I was, like, watching this story and I was, like, I love her so much.
I was, like, her energy is just so beautiful, like, I just love how you are just, you are an embodiment, you know, you are an embodiment of you and it's just so, it's so seen and so appreciated. I just, I love you. I love you too and I love everyone who's listening because if you're listening, like, to this first episode, like, you love us and we love you because, like, I know, like, my people who are listening right now, like, I already know who you're going to be and thank you for the support.
This is, like, crazy, like, we're just, like, let's start a podcast, you know, and if you're, like, listening to this on your way to work or, like, like, late at night, like, I hope you just feel a little lighter after and a little more inspired. And then, really, and maybe, like, I trigger some sort of existential crisis within you where you, like, now become a yogi and, like, that's dope too. I'm constantly, like, in this existentialism.
I remember I texted my dad, I was, like, I'm having an existential crisis and he was, like, are you sure it's an existential one? Like, do you know what that word means? And in my head I'm, like, well, yeah, but then I Googled it to double track and I'm, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I love you so much. Oh, my gosh. Yes, yes. But, yeah, like, absolutely, like, quit your job. I'm joking, I'm joking about it.
Yeah, I want to say this one little thing, like, one of the keys to manifestation, if you are feeling super inspired and, you know, there's this whole movement of the visionaries that I'm seeing, like, globally, well and truly, it's not just when we dive more into things, it's just I birthed a book and it's called The Visionary's Manuscript and this or that. However, I really do see globally how these people are stepping up. They are having this clear vision and they're, like, wait, I see more for myself.
I know that I'm worthy of more for myself, so, therefore, I need to make a change. And to those people that feel that, that call to the path of the visionary, that call to the path of betterment, of becoming more, of radical, scary change, you're standing at the cliff and you feel that, like, adrenaline, like, I'm going to jump, but I'm scared, but I need to jump, like, you're going to jump the moment that you see your vehicle, the moment that you're, like, okay, like, for you, like, the supper clubs, the circles, you're, like, that's my vehicle.
I'm going to jump if I see it so clearly. And for me, I was, like, I'm going to jump the moment I had my book in my hands, the moment that I saw it, I was, like, okay, I'm going to jump. And I literally, I jumped and our wings have soared open and we are going up and down and reaching new heights and new depths all through that beautiful vehicle that has provided us with our present, our now.
And so I urge you, you beautiful being that is listening to us right now, to get clear on your vehicle. And that way you can truly step off that cliff. And, like, don't ignore the whispers. Like, your intuition is always speaking to you. It's just we, like, push it away because maybe it doesn't align with what we're currently doing or maybe there's, like, something wrapped around it that doesn't feel ready, whatever it is. Like, you said if you're standing at the cliff of change, while I was, like, getting ready to quit my corporate job, I would sit under my tree and meditation.
And I'm, like, I literally feel like the Buddha. Because I have a tree in my backyard and there's, like, enormous rose quartz that, like, sits at the trunk of the tree and I just, like, meditate there. And I just kept hearing this voice and it was, like, fall, I will catch you. Jump, I will catch you. And, like, who was catching me? Like, maybe it was me. Maybe it was God, the divine, however you want to say it.
But it wasn't Ale, 3D self in her crazy mind, like, making tornadoes of nonsense. Like, it wasn't that. It was a greater power, that divine vehicle, that purpose. And then when you're in it, I promise you, it feels so good and so much better. It doesn't need to be a job. It can be a relationship, a friendship. Like, it doesn't need to be a relationship, like, with a parent, like, a sibling. Like, you know, you know where that jump is going to land you.
And I promise you if you have this deep calling towards it, like, it is so worth it. It is so incredibly worth it. I can't even describe. Oh, wow. What a beautiful journey. I am just so honored to be here. And we're going to talk so much more about so many topics. Yeah. Like, we want to talk astrocartography, we want to talk visionaries, manuscript, human design, gene geeks, matrix of destiny, yoga, meditation, philosophy. Yeah. Let's just, it's everything, right? Everything.
Our personal experience, relationships, like, love, dating. We're going to go throughout all the dimensions because we are multidimensional, you know. So it's like, what makes us tick? What makes us magic? Yeah, for sure. That's a good one. I like that one. There's so many, like, incredible esoteric topics and, like, I'm ready to just, like, be the Gemini moon oracle that I am and just, like, read up on everything so that you don't need to read 300 pages.
You could just listen to an hour of a podcast and, like, drink the elixir. Drink the elixir. Drink the potions straight from the source of us. Yeah. Thank you, my love. Thank you. Thank you to those listening. I feel like maybe we should do, like, a little, like, wrapping up with, like, either A, like, just seeing what mantra, what affirmation is at the forefront of our awareness, or B, pulling a card and just, like, seeing what words are present.
You can do both. Why pick one? Gemini. The twins! Okay, let's do it. I think that would... Do you have cards? I've got, yeah. Or I have cards if not. Yeah, perfect. Just use that I showed. Oh, oh, beautiful. And then I also have the herbal spiritual. I just wanted to, like, enter the chat. Yes, do it. Animal apothecary. I love that. We're also both very much so passionate about herbs, and so we'll definitely be touching on the topic of astroherbalism.
It is an insane vast world in there. I want to think on a quote, too, while I shuff, shuff-shuffle the cards. Yeah, so for me, honestly, I feel like and I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't remember who said this, but just right here, right now. Right here, right now. No, it wasn't. Okay. Yeah, just right here, right now. I'm just finding the utmost opportunity. 16, a red cardinal and a honeybee up on a red door.
Opportunity. What a beautiful card. Yeah, this is the opportunity. Opportunity. If you've been waiting for a sign, right here, right now, this is your opportunity. Well, that was a woodpecker, not a cardinal. That was a woodpecker. Yes, that was a woodpecker. The persistent. They're so persistent. They just keep going, right? They just keep going at the wood, keep going until they get to where they, it's like they know that the first peck isn't going to get there.
Not even the second, not even the third, but perhaps the fourth, the fifth, the sixth. It's just around the bend, right, that success. That woodpecker just... Growing up in Georgia, you wake up and you hear them just banging sometimes on the deck or whatever it may be. I feel like that's what opportunity is, right? It's just to decide, to step into it. What do you see from that? Just that. Just opportunity. There is unlimited portals of potential.
Choose one. Pick anything. Go down or up or wherever. Just that. Do the thing. Do the thing. Be here now. Right here, right now. Just wishing you such a radiant, magical day. Yes. Night, wherever it may be, whatever hour. May you be inspired to be right here, right now, in your breath, in this present moment, in your majesty. You're magnificent and literally so powerful. Each and every single one of us here on this earth are so potently powerful.
You chose this life and this life chose you. Everything happens for you, my dear. Never to you. We love you so much. I think that's the wrap of episode one of Coming Unveiled. Thank you!
