432. Why I Know You're Going to be OK

Speaker: [00:00:00] Hi, and welcome to the Soul Elevation Podcast, guiding your ascension to new heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin, and today I'm excited to be talking about I. How I know that everything is gonna be okay for you and we are in a trying time. I think human life, human existence is generally tricky. Um, it is.

I. It, it is hard. It's a, it's a tricky school. If you wanna think of it as a school, it's a hard, challenging existence and there is a lot going on right now. There is a lot of astrological activity. There are a lot of solar flares and geomagnetic activity [00:01:00] that has just made it, that's made life.

Challenging. And so if you're feeling challenges right now, please know that part of what you're going through, at least part of it is it, it's part of what the collective is going through. It's part of what humanity is going through and the planet herself, but. I had a really interesting experience recently that helped to illustrate the fact that even when it seems like things are falling apart, even when it seems that we might be off course.

Or that things aren't lining up with what we feel that we're putting with the effort that we feel we're putting out with the intentions that we feel that we're putting out, we're still being held, we're still being guided, and it may just be that our human [00:02:00] perspective is not able to see the whole picture clearly yet to see how things are working in our favor.

So let me share this story with you. That happened recently. I hosted a summit called the Reaching through the veils Summit at the beginning of April, and I invited 10 guests to come on and to share their experiences of how they connect with the other side, how they communicate with their guides, with their loved ones who have passed away.

What that's like for them and to give tips for listeners on how they can in improve that within themselves to strengthen their own connection across the veil. And one of the people that I invited was a very dear friend of mine who lives in the same town that I live, and I knew she would be a great. Um, a great speaker for this topic.

It's somebody that I love very [00:03:00] much who I would've been really honored to join me in that, um, project. And we actually, this friend and I, we meet every couple of months. Uh, every couple of weeks we'll meet and just have a coffee and catch up and support each other, and. I was creating this event and I had her in mind from the very beginning and every time we would meet, I would intend to tell her about this, this, um, event and invite her to be a speaker.

And the conversation I. Never really allowed the invitation. So I would, it would, even while it wasn't that I was forgetting to ask her, it was always kind of there in my mind and it just was never appropriate because of the content of what we were talking about. There were some really challenging, um, very difficult things that we were discussing.

And it just [00:04:00] didn't seem like, you know, it, it was, it would've sort of been like, oh, you know, I'm really sorry about everything you're going through. Hey, by the way, I'm hosting this summit and you'd be perfect. You know, it just seemed like it would've been really obtuse for me to suddenly change the, the subject and try to get her in a head space to think about if she would wanna be a speaker for this.

But. At one point, eventually, I did say as we were leaving, um, hey, I am hosting a another summit. I would love for you to be a speaker. I'm gonna send you info, no pressure. If you wanna join, please do, um, just be on the lookouts for me to send this to you. And then it probably took me a week or two before I actually sent her more information on it.

And actually what I did instead of like. Telling her more about it. I think I had thought that I had told her enough about it to get a sense of [00:05:00] whether she would wanna join or not. I. But I just text her and I said, Hey, I'm creating like the speaker assets now, and I like the, the banner, the promotional assets.

I'm doing the website. So if you want to be a part of this, can you please let me know and send me, you know, your photo, your bio I, and whatever, and I'll get you added. And I never heard anything more from her. And then, I don't even remember a couple of weeks later, like a, a considerable amount of time, like I never heard from her.

So I created the assets. I didn't include her in it because I never heard from her. So I was like, well, if she contacts me soon, I can always add her in. But more and more of these assets were getting created and she wasn't. In it. And then I think it was a good, two weeks later, I got a message from her and it was like, oh my god, Kara, I never saw your text.

I'm just seeing this text about your summit. [00:06:00] I'm so sorry. I hope you didn't think that I was, um, ignoring you, or, um, I don't remember ever talking about this, so I'm not really sure what you're even talking about. Um, and she was kind of like. Just so embarrassed that she had somehow overlooked this text and had left me, as she said, like, left you hanging.

And I, so I thought about it and I was like, oh, do I go back in and recreate everything to add her in? I mean, that's a lot of work. And I'm, I'm just myself. I don't have like a team of people who I can be like, Hey, can you go back and re recreate all this stuff? It's just me. And, and I have a lot of.

Projects going at any given time. And so it was gonna be a considerable amount of work at that point because everything was done. So I would've had to go back and recreate everything. And I said, you know, [00:07:00] I. I really wanted you to be a part of this, but at this point, in order to go and re, it's a lot of rework to do for one person.

So I think like, let's just trust the fact that you never saw the message and that you don't remember me ever bringing this up before. And let's just go with that. And I think you would've been a great speaker, but, um, but I think at this point it's, I just don't have the capacity to go and rework everything.

So I would think that there's a reason that we don't know yet. Um, that is why, you know, you're not gonna be a part of this one and. We were both, you know, it was both of us. Like no hard feelings at all. Um, you know, I didn't feel slighted at all, and she was completely understanding of not being included at that point.

Um, but what was really interesting is when we had the [00:08:00] summit, it was on April 2nd, and there was a tornado. Came down like three miles from my house. So as I am hosting this three and a half hour summit. I'm already in my basement. Um, I was able to communicate with my kids over text to make sure that they were safe and the actual, um, tornado itself was toward the end.

And it wasn't exactly in my area. I mean, luckily there was not actually a tornado. Here in, you know, near, near my house, but that's pretty close. Three miles away is pretty close. Well, that tornado went through my friend's neighborhood, which is actually my old neighborhood, which is why it was kind of on my radar anyway, where I was like, oh my God, that was really, really close to our old house.

And then I was like, oh my God, that's where she lives. And so. [00:09:00] She has three kids. She is a single parent, um, and she's not from here originally. She didn't grow up in the Midwest, so tornadoes and what to do in the case of a tornado, that's a scary, it's a really scary situation for anybody, but especially when you feel all this responsibility for not only yourself and your property, but for, you know, your kids who you love so much.

Um. It's, it's a lot. And then you add to that the fact that you're from, you know, a place where tornadoes are not a thing and you don't real, you know, you didn't grow up. With this threat and know what to do. Like for me, I grew up in the Midwest, tornadoes come, it's jarring. Um, you know, you're on alert and you follow, when you hear the sirens going, you take shelter.

Um, but I do, I, I'm familiar with them. I've been through them a [00:10:00] lot. And so, but if. But in that situation, I can completely understand. That would've been, that would be a very overwhelming thing. Well, she didn't even realize that the summit was that night, but I text her when it was over to check and see how everything was at her house, if she was safe and everything.

But I also was like, the summit just ended. I think we know now why you. Weren't a part of it, you know, why was you, you didn't get the message. Um, why? We felt that for some reason it wasn't the right, the right event for her, because that would've been way too much for her to have responsibility for her three kids herself, her animals.

And also be trying to be on this, be a part of this summit to be a speaker. That would have been completely overwhelming. So looking at it, you know, as we were planning [00:11:00] it and it felt like things were just, it felt like she and I when, when the planning was going on, we were just reflecting on this actually last week because we both felt like.

We are always really aligned and on the same page, on the same wavelength. And with this particular experience, it felt like we were like this. Like, wait, why are we not lining up? Why are we not matching up here? Why are we so misaligned? And the trick was to trust that even it when it felt like we were not aligned, even when it felt like.

There was something off. We were still being held and protected. She, in particular, was really being protected so that she could have the resources, the awareness, the attention that she would need when the time came. And of course, like when we were planning this, when I was [00:12:00] planning this, this was like January or February, there was, I had no idea what the weather was gonna be like.

I had no. I, I, there was no reason for me to even imagine that there would be some sort of storm or anything. Um, and if there was, I, if I had that kind of foresight, I probably would have picked a different day if I could have, um, I didn't even really pick that day. It was one of the speakers that I wanted to have.

That was the only time that they were available. Um, in, in like. I wanted it to be in March and they couldn't, they didn't have any availability in March, so we had to do it in April. So it's just really interesting. We might feel like things are falling apart or what we are trying to make happen isn't happening.

It could have been easy for me to be like, wait a minute. My, my friend, my, this person who would be great is like not even getting the messages about this. Should [00:13:00] I even do it? Like, is this, am I, am I off course? Is the universe trying to show me that I'm off course that I shouldn't even have this event?

Um, or it could have made me, you know, doubt the whole thing, but. It's really interesting now to look back and be like, yeah, there we were being held, we were being protected even when it felt like things were working against us, that could have been interpreted as something kind of working against us.

And so I encourage you to look in your own life, your own experience, and if it feels like you just think that things are going wrong. Or that you're not being supported or something that you're trying to make happen isn't getting traction, isn't happening. Um, it, it very well may be that the way that our ego, that our human [00:14:00] consciousness thinks that things are supposed to be.

Are not actually gonna be the highest solution. So stay open to that possibility because our, our human brains and our ability to plan and to, um, create, you know, we are very powerful creator beings, but we have all this help on the other side. Who can help us to orchestrate things in an even more perfect way with information that we don't have access to yet.

So it's really, really interesting how these things come to light and how, you know, information that is blocked from us. Such as there's gonna be a huge storm and your friend is not gonna be able to be engaged in an appropriate way. You know, she's, she needs to have her attention for her family, for her home, her pets, um, and it's not gonna be the right thing [00:15:00] for her to be focused on a summit When you're planning that.

I didn't have access to that detail at the time, and it would've been really easy for my ego and my human consciousness to be offended or to be in despair or to think that I was being punished for something or whatever I might've told myself. Um, based on that, um, I could have very easily. Gotten caught up in my ego and you know, looking back, like I say, it's clear that there, there was a divine hand at play.

So do think about that in your own circumstance and how you may be being lovingly held, even though right now from your vantage point, it may feel or seem like the opposite. Is happening so. [00:16:00] I hope that that makes sense. I wanna share really quickly as we're wrapping up that my book, your Authentic Awakening, is now available globally.

So if you're not in the US you can now go on Amazon, you can go on Barnes and Noble, you can go wherever and order that for yourself. If you're in the US, go to cara goodwin.com/book and you can get a signed copy with free shipping. I can only do that in the us. So I apologize for people outside the us, um, but I hope that you will purchase this book.

It is, it, it is a beautiful book. I'm really, really honored to be, to have my name on it. I think it is its own consciousness. Um, I am, I'm thrilled with how it's come, uh, to be, and I, I do feel that it's a very supportive. Instrument for those [00:17:00] who are on a spiritual awakening journey. So I do hope that you will purchase the book and get a lot from it.

And thank you so much for being with me today. I wish you many, many blessings. Have a wonderful week.
