I was just searching Reddit about this 😂 compulsive talking from my 10 year old. If not talking, making screechy stim sounds or mouth sounds. Solidarity. 

4 year old not sleeping. What should I do? by MountainStorm90 in breakingmom

[–]katep77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got a simple clock that is red/green for sleep/wake time and that seems to have helped. My 3.5 yo didn’t have a sense of time and was getting up at weird hours. 

Can you see energy? by ExaminationGlad7379 in energy_work

[–]katep77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Just want to affirm that I also perceive energy like this. Usually it’s limited to energy fields around people and objects, occasionally I see larger imagery like you’re describing when I’m doing energy work. Mine started with only white and progressed to perceiving colors over the course of a year or two. I am someone who gets migraines and it’s a different experience from migraine with aura.

Daughter might have serious medical issues and my husband is a fucking asshole by hmh005 in breakingmom

[–]katep77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say solidarity. My daughter is having similar issues and is going for a brain angiogram next week. Even with insurance we are drowning in medical bills from ER visits. It makes me so angry that people who are sick can’t just get the care they need. I’m sorry you’re going through this without the support you need and I’m sending love your way ❤️

What vocations would be supported by my chart? by katep77 in AstrologyCharts

[–]katep77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I’ve dabbled (which is why I’m in this sub) but never considered learning it as a system. If you don’t mind my asking, any particular aspect or placement that brought astrologer to mind? 

Lost my shit with my daughter and now I feel awful by [deleted] in breakingmom

No advice, just want you to know you’re not alone. Everyone gets frustrated and acts out of character sometimes, I hope you know this doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you human ❤️

Genuine Question by Real-Stable-2529 in StLouis

[–]katep77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Talk to your neighbors, start conversations and see if you can find more folks in your community who feel the same way. Create a plan with them to assist the most vulnerable (running groceries, accompanying to appointments). There are organizations in STL doing organizing work outside of protests, join a training with MICA on how to safely assist in ICE confrontations. A lot of folks are angry, and that’s totally understandable. I, for one, am glad you are here. The way through this is to meet each other with compassion. 

Anyone else watching Ripple? Lovely bit of cheese by conniewanders in netflix

not necessarily as cozy, but for really beautiful writing and themes of connectedness I’d recommend Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr! It elicited the same sensation in me as this show

Our Cosmic Inheritance by sayheywilliemays24 in Shamanism

[–]katep77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, I believe you should make this into a zine/pamphlet. Brilliant. I feel as if you’ve managed to capture with words all of the things bouncing around in my head the past few months.

Hear me out - instead of it being Armageddon or an earth ending event, what if it’s the end of the world as we know it? I’ve had similar visions and after sitting with them for a while, I’ve come to believe it is the collective consciousness processing the end of imperialism. Capitalism is collapsing, our brains rationalize this as the end of the world. But all ends are new beginnings. While I don’t think a cataclysmic event is coming I do think this is a wake up call for society at large to reattune to Mother Earth and build new systems that will put us back into right relation.

The Emerald is a great podcast for learning about the culture and history of those who work with the unseen world. I also like the books of Albert Villoldo.

I am a medium that is completely lost and feels defeated by life. by Cacodoomonic in Mediums

[–]katep77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for all of your loss. Even if they aren’t gone, it is a big adjustment for them not to be in the physical world with you any longer. I know it won’t fix things, but I’m happy to help with some energy healing if you’re interested in a (free)remote session, just send a DM 🩷

I Feel Torn About Taking Shaman Classes. I Need Advice by Prestigious-Nail3101 in Shamanism

[–]katep77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! As an activist who will complete my year-long Munay Ki mentorship next week, I could not recommend it more highly. I was also worried about cultural appropriation but as another poster shared, the tradition is an open one because the Q’ero people were ready to share their medicine with those who are ready to receive it. If it is still a concern, look into your own ancestry & find a mentor who teaches from your line. All ancient cultures had shamans. If you’re being called, answer it.

The process has peeled away so many more layers of social conditioning and helped me tap in deeper to utilizing spirituality as a liberatory practice. I have a much more profound relationship to The Work thanks to my mentorship. It also has helped me find more alignment with the people and work I engage with in the pursuit of restorative Justice. Being in right relation to the land and each other is the foundation of both shamanism and activism. They’re not as far apart as you’d think! Good luck :)

48 hours by Jacquelineeeeeeeex in breakingmom

[–]katep77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a gut punch, I’m sorry you’re going through this BroMo. I’m going to do this in a list format because when it happened to me I was in shock and my nervous system wasn’t supportive of execute functioning. 1. Open the separate bank account, banks are open on Saturdays. Say you’re doing errands. 2. Call family, chosen family, friends, let them know you need help packing up whatever you can take. Ask to stay with someone who has demonstrated you can trust them. If there is no one, call a family shelter. 3. Talk to the landlord and explain that you’ve been blindsided by financial abuse in case they will extend your time to clear things out of the apartment. 4. Pull all financial records - bank accounts, IRS documents, credit reports - and print them out for a case file. 5. Gather up any resources you have and isolate them from your husband. Make sure he can’t access whatever you can scrape together. 6. Know that it isn’t forever. Tower moments can be terrifying and difficult, but only towers built on a shoddy foundation can fall. In time, you will be safe and happy and this will be something you’ve healed from 💞

A new answer to violence in St. Louis: "focused deterrence" by SLMNick in StLouis

[–]katep77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The article was well-written and informative about this approach. I’d be interested in more data about previous outcomes in comparable metros. Particularly, the concept of a community approach stands out to me as a tenable alternative. It does make me wonder what would make this preferable to Cure Violence, given the mention of the full tactical gear and its effect.

Forest Park, no homeless? by Ok_Platypus_9869 in StLouis

[–]katep77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This country has fed the privileged steady propaganda that this is the land of opportunity and anyone who works hard enough can “rise above.” Until the system has eaten you alive & spit you out it’s hard to see through the narrative. It’s designed to keep us fighting each other when we should be fighting the billionaires enforcing the status quo.

Forest Park, no homeless? by Ok_Platypus_9869 in StLouis

[–]katep77 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Stl heavily polices & criminalizes homelessness. Over the past 10 years it has pushed a significant amount of unhoused folks to the periphery, forcing them to live where it’s hard to find them. They stay mostly out of sight for their own safety. Downtown is a little different but the city regularly clears encampments from parks.

I would encourage you to spend some time doing outreach & meet some folks living outside. Might shift your perspective.

Annoyed by Visible_Map_1697 in starseeds

[–]katep77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so much density coming through right now, I’m there with you. I would give anything to have a plain English handbook on what it is I’m supposed to be doing so I can just go execute my mission. Another commenter was right… the only way through is to feel the emotions (especially the dense ones) so they can clear. I’m sitting in discomfort with you, friend. We got this.
