Cathy Worthington:Hello. I'm Cathy Worthington. Welcome to our latest late bloomers episode. My cohost, Mary Elkins, and I always sit down to chat with a very interesting guest to inspire you on your journey. Today, we have with us Kim Aronson, who is a nonfiction book creator, intuitive reader, and wisdom mentor, leveraging the power of AI to inspire and empower individuals on their journey to greater self awareness and consciousness.
Cathy Worthington:We look forward to discovering what that can be.
Merry Elkins:We do, and I'm Merry Elkins. Kim has published over 40 self help books with the goal of leading his readers to greater self discovery and conscious living. He works with AI combined with intuition and spirituality. Welcome, Kim. And I'm really interested in how you discovered your abilities and found yourself on this career path.
Merry Elkins:You too. Thank you
Kim Aronson:Thank you for having me. I appreciate this. It's nice to have the two of you here with me.
Merry Elkins:Yeah. No, we like it.
Kim Aronson:That's very nice. The the intuitive part is, is something I I really got into when I moved to Berkeley, California in, '99. I I I studied at the Berkeley Psychic Institute for a little bit. There was a big sign outside on the street saying psychic fair or something, and I'm like, I was curious about that. So I started to take some classes there.
Kim Aronson:I wasn't there for too long. I wasn't so crazy about the way they taught, but I knew that I wanted to study this more. And so I ended up finding a person in Berkeley who had an ongoing class. And I signed up for that in 02/2004, and I was there for seventeen years in this class every other week. And, that's how I really learned to, become an intuitive reader.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. There's a lot of tools and a lot of practice.
Merry Elkins:Yeah.
Merry Elkins:What were you doing before?
Kim Aronson:I would also say that I do have some memories of having intuitive insights when I was little. Like, I could see people's aura, But I didn't know that that was unusual. Right? So so but I always felt that I had a good intuition, but I wasn't really sure until I started training. You know, and say, okay, yeah.
Cathy Worthington:And you you usually pick you you tend to figure that everybody sees what you see.
Kim Aronson:Or everybody understands. Know. You know? There was colors around people. I didn't I didn't think much about that.
Kim Aronson:It was just funny.
Merry Elkins:And you still see that?
Kim Aronson:No. I don't I don't see yours anymore, really. I don't Oh. Yeah. It went away and never came back.
Kim Aronson:Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:How interesting. Yeah. Did you
Merry Elkins:doubt it? Or or and, what why do you think they left you?
Kim Aronson:I think it's just a part of growing up. You sort of it goes away, and then you go into society and I have to relearn things. So I learned a lot of things, and I have a very good intuition, but it's been, like, work for me. It doesn't keep I think as a kid, you're so open, but then you kind of you close in again in some ways, and then you have to reopen, you know?
Cathy Worthington:Oh.
Kim Aronson:And, but I would say that also for people that that that everybody has intuition. It's not about me being special or anything. It's just about our practice. You know, I trained. You know?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. And and
Cathy Worthington:you also mentioned in your bio that you're dyslexic. Yeah. So what's your what's your experience in writing with AI as a just as a dyslexic person?
Kim Aronson:You know, and I went I dropped out of school after ninth grade. I I just I hated school because I couldn't I wasn't good at reading, and I was definitely not good at writing at all. Really bad at writing. And so, yeah. So my life up until pretty recent have not been involved in any writing.
Kim Aronson:It's I've done a lot of other things. Lots of different things that I'm happy to talk about, but nothing that involved writing. But I always wanted to express myself. I've done lots of arts, different arts and stuff, and I had several businesses, but writing was very hard for me. But writing is such an amazing, precise way that you can express yourself.
Kim Aronson:And so, not until I I was in India last year, and I just happened to sit and surf around. I was gonna write something, and I looked for a a way to do it, a spell check and stuff. And then I I found, Jet DPT. And I'm like,
Cathy Worthington:what? GPT?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. And I'm like, that that works. And I tried, and I was like, wow. It makes me sound good. You know?
Kim Aronson:I could put in any thoughts I had. It doesn't it doesn't care if I spell things right. It figures out. You know? So I put in stuff, and it spits back out.
Kim Aronson:And I'm like, woah. There was like a whole opening for me. Really amazing. And so I slowly started to write, and and that's what I do most of the time now. I I just share my experience and my knowledge, and it's all, non nonfiction, like self help books.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. So it's it's Mhmm.
Merry Elkins:It's Yeah. Well, you know, a lot of musicians I'm sure you know that mus a lot of musicians don't read music, but they write it.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. It's true. That's a good point. Right? Right.
Kim Aronson:Yeah.
Merry Elkins:Yeah. Yeah. They're talking about
Kim Aronson:AI is just, it's just an amazing tool that that, you know, that can help you and it can give you feedback and sort of makes you think about things in a really,
Cathy Worthington:meaningful way. Wanted
Merry Elkins:to I was interested in about, you know, can you tell us about some of the experience you've had about using the technology to solve your own personal problems with dyslexia or what other people can use it for in in that range.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. I I think it it it definitely yeah. It can it can definitely help you. It can help you, formulate things much easier. You can create things that you might not be able to create before.
Kim Aronson:You know, it it may it's a creative tool. But for me also, you know, I have published like over 40 books and I keep going at it and part of it is really, and I'm learning so much myself. You know, I'm doing this for me. I just share it, but I I love doing it because, you know, it's a it's a collaboration. I put something in and something comes back, and then I put something in and I do some research and then I put that in and and eventually, it formulates into a book in a specific topic.
Kim Aronson:You know, right now, I just published a book about manifestation, how you manifest things, and and how try to look at it in a different way and how it's it's really about letting go, actually. It's letting go of expectations and trying to be in some form of a flow instead of manifestation. I think when I grew up and probably you guys too, there was a lot of affirmations. Right? And and that's great, but it it felt like we were pushing it.
Kim Aronson:It was like we had to focus on what we wanted, and only if we focused on it and kept going in the wrong direction, then we would get it. But the reality is, I've experienced that what we really have to do is being very flexible. We can go in certain directions, but if if we if we feel resistance, we sort of have to go around it. It's like if we are water in a river and we hit a stone. Right?
Kim Aronson:We don't try to get through the stone. We just go around it. Right? So it's a lot about letting go, having an expectation of something or a wish or an affirmation, but then you have to let go of however it comes about. No?
Merry Elkins:So how do you do that?
Kim Aronson:Well, don't be too keen on a specific outcome.
Merry Elkins:Right?
Kim Aronson:You have this podcast, and you might think that you might when you have a podcast, I imagine you would think, oh, we want a whole lot of listeners because then they can come, and and we're gonna do this, and and we inspire people. But who knows? Maybe it turns into something else. Maybe you're gonna end up on TED Talk because you have a podcast. But you don't know.
Kim Aronson:That
Cathy Worthington:would be fun.
Kim Aronson:You can't be too right? You don't know what's gonna happen. You just have to be open because what you're doing is you're putting energy out. That's really what you're doing, putting energy out. And however that lands somewhere, somebody listens to you, and they think you're just the best, and they invite you in, and they might have their radio show or TV show.
Kim Aronson:Who knows? Right? So it's about not being too attached to the outcome of whatever you want.
Cathy Worthington:Yeah. I've always heard it's good to say this or something better.
Kim Aronson:Yes.
Cathy Worthington:Exactly. Be attached to what you thought was your ideal thing.
Kim Aronson:And And I think when when we get into go ahead. Sorry.
Cathy Worthington:Yeah. Oh, I was gonna flip back to AI a little bit because I wanted to ask the question that so
Kim Aronson:many of
Cathy Worthington:us have. Yeah. Is AI good or bad for people? And tell us how you integrate intuition with AI if they almost seem opposed.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. I know. Yeah.
Merry Elkins:I know. I know.
Merry Elkins:I know. I know.
Merry Elkins:I know. I know. I know. I know.
Kim Aronson:I know. I know. Intuition. It's such a jarring thing to say or work with AI and with intuition and people like, what? You know, it's kinda fun because Yeah.
Kim Aronson:Because AI is just a tool like a hammer. Right? And hammer is a good thing or a bad thing. I guess most of those things is a good thing because we hammer nail it, but we also hit somebody in the head with it, and then it becomes a bad thing. Right?
Kim Aronson:And then Mhmm. I wouldn't tell now. That's what AI really is. It's just a tool. Right?
Kim Aronson:And so this tool that is AI for me, I use it to teach. Right? I use it to, share my my experience throughout my life and throughout my private practice and everything else. I've I've had an online dating site for many years. So I just published a book about using I've never been on a dating site myself, but I had one for many years, so behind the scene.
Kim Aronson:So I published a book that was about online dating and how I would give people advice about using a dating site in a good way, and that book is actually free on my website until Valentine's Day. So I you know, so that's how I use it. So that's maybe not so much intuition, but I use AI as a tool for expressing what I have experienced in my life and what I have gathered of wisdom. And so with intuition, it's the same thing. A lot of my books are about intuition, how do you use your intuitive power, or how do you connect with yourself, and how do you become more conscious.
Kim Aronson:So that's how the connection is. It's my wisdoms, and experience that I then use AI to share, you know, like you're doing on a podcast. Mhmm.
Merry Elkins:Yeah. Gee. I mean It's the next one. Method.
Kim Aronson:Mhmm.
Merry Elkins:40 books.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. Go
Merry Elkins:you wanna go ahead, Kathy. No. Oh, okay. I mean, I'm just I would love to read all of those 40 books because I think everybody can improve their intuition and and trust it more when they know that there's a powerful backing to their beliefs. So, can you tell us why you started doing that?
Merry Elkins:Was it for your own personal needs, like have taking it using a diary or something? And with your new book on meditation, are you planning a lot more?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. A manifestation. The new book is about manifestation.
Merry Elkins:Oh, yes. Yeah. Right.
Merry Elkins:Yeah.
Kim Aronson:Yes.
Merry Elkins:Just I was testing you.
Kim Aronson:Oh, no. That's Everything I've done pretty much since I was very young has started with a hobby as a hobby. You know, it, when when I when I work with kids, which I've been back in Denmark where I'm from, I, there was a little darkroom that wasn't used, and I didn't know anything about darkroom. But but the the, the staff there, they said, hey, you know, maybe you can do the darkroom work in a darkroom with the kids. So, I'm okay.
Kim Aronson:I'll try that. And I ended up becoming a photographer and had exhibitions and was the judge and stuff. But it started with a hobby, and the same with my dating side. It started as a little bit of fun, like, web design, and I made a little online community. And then it went into a business I had for many years.
Kim Aronson:So so I'm not so when I have a passion for something, I just lean into it, and that's what's happened with AI. It's just a fun tool, and I have so much fun. I can't wait to sit and play around with it. And and that's really why I'm doing it because I'm just leaning into the energy that's there. And for instance, just today, I wanted to tell you because it just happened.
Kim Aronson:I had this idea about a thing I could do with AI. It would be really fun. And it was basically take lyrics from a song and made it into a a story and then make a podcast out of that story audio wise. And then people can guess what the song is out from the story they're hearing. So I just launched six days on on Spotify.
Kim Aronson:I have, as a podcast now that is called Lyric Stories, and there's, like, five minutes to start by now. And you can just search my name on on Spotify. You will find it. But, basically, it's like you need a story. My I I have an AI reader of the story and a voice over.
Kim Aronson:Right? And so it's a little five minute story, and then you have to guess what song it is. Isn't that fun? I mean, that's
Cathy Worthington:You have to be careful not to read the comments or you're it spoils it. Right? If people are trying to
Kim Aronson:get very I mean, it might happen, but I I can keep producing stuff, so it's okay. I'm just having fun with it. You know what I mean? That's your answer to your question. Right?
Kim Aronson:It's like, why are you doing it? Because it's fun. I'm having so much fun with it. So why
Cathy Worthington:don't know what's interesting what's so interesting about leaning into a passion or a hobby is we had a guest on last week who was talking about how she was trying to mentor somebody who didn't realize they they thought they were just retired from being a teacher and didn't realize all the art hanging on their walls that they had painted themselves was their next thing in life that she she, like, was able to then she said, why don't you open the gallery? And the gal went ahead and did it, and it was it was like something she didn't even occur to her. She could be an artist when she had been painting for years and years.
Kim Aronson:Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:So you're really smart to do the passion, the web design, whatever it is.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. Yeah.
Merry Elkins:You're you're I wanna So many people don't know what their passion or their true true future is to create joy in their life. So many people don't know. And so it's lovely that you discovered that with lyrics and with with Yeah. Your your own intuition that you became very aware of. Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:What does it what does it mean?
Merry Elkins:I wanted to know if you recall the the song that first inspired you to do that.
Kim Aronson:Well, that's a really good question. I think I I'm really into Supertramp. I don't know if you know Supertramp, but it's I just love that music so much. And and I think it was and and that is one of the ones I have the list right here. Taking the Long Way Home, it's called.
Kim Aronson:And I I just love lyrics, right, and I just love
Merry Elkins:that song.
Kim Aronson:And so I kinda thought about, wouldn't that be interesting? It's sort of it's almost like the story behind the song, which, of course, is not true, but it's in my mind. Right? It's like, oh, so there's a song there, but what what where does it come from? Now I'm creating the story.
Kim Aronson:Right? Like, oh, you know, is it even though it comes the other way around. But I would say this thing about leaning in, I think I think, I mean, it it the the way that that we should think about it is that I I think what blocks people from not leaning in is the fear of, okay, what if I don't earn any money from it, or or what if I it's not gonna be good, you know? But but but if you can put that aside, I mean, obviously, you need to earn money, but but you can spend it some time on your hobby or on your your passion. Right?
Kim Aronson:But you can you you you have to be careful. You don't block yourself from from, being creative because, really, success really come from a passion. You know? It it can't only come from your mind. Right?
Kim Aronson:And I think too many people there, they just they don't do it because they're worried about something.
Cathy Worthington:Well, tell us what it means to be an intuitive reader, and how does that work, and what's the training? You mentioned you had
Kim Aronson:lengthy Long time. Yeah. Yeah. What
Cathy Worthington:does that mean?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. The way I've the way I learned is not an unusual way. A lot of people learn this technique, but it but it basically has to do with with, you know, at at some place, at the Perkes Seiche Institute, they had this, and so I didn't go there for long, but they had this they imagined a television screen in their mind up on above them Oh. So they could look at that screen. And it's not I understand they use that way.
Kim Aronson:I don't use it, but but it's sort of like that. It's like when you close your eyes and you and you do your grounding and other things, you know, you kind of clean out your whole system energy wise. Like, you imagine the golden sun over your head, that sort of, like, energy goes through your body and clean you out like a kind of a, yeah, like a energy shower. But once you sit there and you're grounded and stuff, if you if you look up and I see sort of pictures, like blurry pictures, and then I get sensations. That's how it is for me.
Kim Aronson:Different ways for different people. But then and but so so that's the technique. There's the whole technique I can talk about. But I used to tell people the key to it all is that you trust the information you're getting, right? We all know that we all I had a feeling I shouldn't do it, but I did it anyway, and then it went all wrong.
Kim Aronson:Right? And that moment where you had this feeling, but you you kind of canceled it out, that's when you know you had an intuition, but you didn't listen to it. And and so the the key to this is listen to your intuition and trust that you're getting information that has a value even though in your mind it doesn't make sense. And so I think that's half of the job. And when you've done it for so long that I have, you start to really trust it because you experience that, you know, what you're feeling is true.
Kim Aronson:So that's half the work. You know?
Cathy Worthington:No. I get it. Yeah. Yeah.
Kim Aronson:And so there's some shaking in this, like like, there's a vibration that so I have people say their name when I do the reading for them. And the and the name does, and I I I feel a vibration which I put a color on. Colors has vibrations. And so I give them a reading color, as it's called, and I'm reading out from that reading color in a vibration that's a little higher than where they're at. So, basically, the point is to lift their consciousness a little bit above where it is at this moment.
Kim Aronson:So when they leave from the reading, they have information that they wouldn't otherwise know already. I give them information that they wouldn't know because the the consciousness is there. It's not there yet. So I'm just trying to make them a little more conscious. If I read on a call that's too low, I will give them information that they already know.
Kim Aronson:And if it's too high, I will give them information that they don't understand. So it's around right right around where they where they add on a little higher. So a little more information than than is in their conscious mind right now. That's the TSP.
Cathy Worthington:So hard. Must be so hard to know where they are.
Merry Elkins:Well,
Kim Aronson:it's a training. You You know, it is not that hard. You just have to train. I mean, you could do it. It's it's just the one wanting to learn, you know, and practice lots of lots of practices.
Kim Aronson:Mhmm.
Merry Elkins:Does that come to you immediately when you meet someone? You see a color from them?
Kim Aronson:I know. No. Because, people ask me that. But but for me, I mean, I have an intuition and a feeling about people. But but for me to really do a good job, I need to sit and concentrate and, you know, clean out my whole system and system and ground and and small techniques I do.
Kim Aronson:But but I do have, I mean, interesting experiences when when people come to me, either on Zoom or in person, I sit down and meditate a little before they come, and I usually, 90% of the time, I get some information about them even before they show up. You know? So as soon as I start to sit and sing in, you know, I connect with that energy that's coming in. You know?
Cathy Worthington:Right.
Merry Elkins:Fascinating. You have something called wisdom groups. What is that?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. So that's a new thing I started this this year, and I'm opening up for people to come in. So I'm gonna start basically a a group. It's a six week, and it is about manifestation in any form. So I'm just, I'm gearing people through a process of what is it you want in life?
Kim Aronson:What do you want to manifest? What do you want attract to your life? It could be a partner or better job or more money or better place to live or something. And what is in in the way of doing that? So I'm just guiding people to a process and I'm calling wisdom groups.
Kim Aronson:Yeah.
Merry Elkins:Mhmm. Interesting.
Cathy Worthington:Oh, I like that.
Merry Elkins:And is it online or anyone in the world?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. Yeah. It's on the world. It's gonna be on Zoom, probably. Yeah.
Kim Aronson:Because yeah. I mean, I would love to do a local group, but, you know, I don't know if I can find six people in, in Santa Fe. Maybe. I'm sure you can.
Cathy Worthington:Santa Fe has a lot of very artistic
Kim Aronson:No. That's true. And I also I mean, I want people to have access to it if they don't live in Santa Fe. Right. Oh, good.
Kim Aronson:It's fine in Zoom for me, as you're doing here online.
Merry Elkins:No. It would and and that helps people to, to increase their ability to become more aware and more intuitive.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. It it's, you know, it's just, it's I have some tools I can teach them, and I also part of the group is I'm gonna give people an individual reading. That's part of being in the group. And then I'm gonna do some group readings, and then, yeah, we're just gonna go through a process of how do you how do you figure out what you want and and how do you why don't you have it already? And so what is it that's in the way of you getting What's blocking?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. What's blocking? Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:Yeah. We all do some blocking every day.
Kim Aronson:You know, consciousness is an interesting thing because it's a little bit like we talked about before we started recording that that or maybe it was rerecorded, but I I you know, the color thing, I didn't know when I was a kid that I saw colors and and that it was unusual. And it's sort of the same with with when we block ourselves, we don't know what we're doing. You know? We don't know what we don't know. Right?
Kim Aronson:We're just doing it. So have someone else, like, point out to you and maybe go a little ask the right questions is very helpful.
Merry Elkins:Mhmm. Well, did you ever block yourself?
Kim Aronson:Well, I think I've gotten better at it. Yeah. I think I've gotten much better at it, but it has been a long it's been a long journey to learn that, you know, therapy and lots of lots of readings, you know, with my with my co mate, co co host at the at the classes and stuff. You know? Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:Yeah. How on earth did you end up having online dating sites?
Kim Aronson:Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:And what are and what are they?
Kim Aronson:Well, I don't have it anymore. I sold almost in 02/2013. You know? So I didn't had it from '99 to 02/2013.
Cathy Worthington:Wow. Well You are
Kim Aronson:unrelated, doctor. Very long time. Yeah. Yeah. I I started a a little hobby social network website in Denmark, actually.
Kim Aronson:And part of that was I created a little dating area. Didn't think much about it, and that part grew really fast. And so I separated it out and made it a a separate website. And then, eventually I lived in The US, and, eventually, I had a few insights over here too. I mean, it was a good business, and and I liked it.
Kim Aronson:It wasn't something I grew up thinking I would have, obviously, but it just sort of happened.
Cathy Worthington:Didn't exist.
Kim Aronson:So I I I ride the
Cathy Worthington:That's interesting.
Kim Aronson:Riding the wave while I was there.
Merry Elkins:Yeah.
Cathy Worthington:And did you ever hear back from people that they got together, got married,
Kim Aronson:and stayed together? I was just like, I was with people that have kids and will get married. And, yeah, I had long pages of testimonials and yeah.
Merry Elkins:That's what that must have been very rewarding.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. I sometimes I'm still it's been some years, but I actually met a Danish person over here in The US. And and she came up to me and she said, I met my husband on your dating side. Oh. Isn't that funny?
Kim Aronson:Even in The US. Yeah.
Merry Elkins:That's brilliant. Yeah.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. It's
Merry Elkins:really Well, talking about dating, you focus a lot on love and relationships. Why? Why that?
Kim Aronson:Well, I think it's just a core thing in our lives. You know? But I also would say that, you know, I got divorced two years ago and after being with my ex wife for thirty years. So, my life changed a lot, right? And I'm single.
Kim Aronson:And, that, you know, and haven't been that for a long time. And so it brought into my own life this whole concept of love and relationships and what is it all about, you know? So when I started, getting to use AI to writing, that was a subject that I was still a subject that is interesting for me. And, also, I had the dating side for many years. So it was a subject that I dealt with for many years even when I was married just as a professional.
Kim Aronson:You know?
Cathy Worthington:And you said one of your books is is about dating.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. So that that's, yes. The yeah.
Cathy Worthington:I wanna read I wanna read that one.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. That's it's free on my website, and and, and it's also an audiobook you can download until Valentine's Day for free. And it's, it's it's I have several books about being single or looking for a partner or being in a breakup or all that stuff. But this is specifically for if you are someone who use a dating site and how you probably can take advantage of some of the insight that I have as being behind the scene, you know, because I want people to have a good experience.
Cathy Worthington:Yeah. Oh, that sounds great. Are you considering publishing books other than self help books, at some point? And if so, what would that
Kim Aronson:Yeah. I mean, I you know, I just launched this I mean, it's interesting because I just today launched this, lyric stories, right, which is different, which is, you know, which is definitely fictional. And I am thinking when I have enough, I'll probably publish the book with all the stories, and then people can get the book instead of listening to the to the podcast.
Merry Elkins:Oh, that sounds
Merry Elkins:I am I'll buy it.
Kim Aronson:I think I might do fictional stories. That's what you say, Mary?
Merry Elkins:I'll buy it. That sounds like great fun to read.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. That that's great. Yeah. I mean, if any books you want, just let me know. I'll send them to you.
Kim Aronson:Yeah. There's an ebook.
Merry Elkins:Yeah. I I wanted to That sounds great.
Merry Elkins:I wanted to ask you a question veering back to, love and relationships and dating sites. It's different for older people, though all three of us are a little older than our twenties. A year or two. And and it's different, isn't it?
Kim Aronson:Yeah. Yeah. It really is. I mean, yeah, it is. I mean, I know it's different for me because I was with someone for so long, you know, so that's different.
Kim Aronson:But then also being a, you know, I was single in my twenties and now I'm 62 and now I'm single and that is different. You're right about that. I mean, there's something that's not different. Right? Love is still love and your heart still beats and, you know, so I get what's different.
Kim Aronson:I don't know. I mean, yeah, I guess it is different.
Cathy Worthington:Well, a lot of us a lot of us boomers are widowed. So Mary and I are both widowed.
Kim Aronson:Mhmm.
Cathy Worthington:And that's a different thing too because when you've been with somebody for a really long time, it's hard to figure out how to navigate. I have several friends
Kim Aronson:that are Yeah. No, I I know. That's very true. And and what's also, of course, different is that you're at a different stage. So are you looking for someone to just go out for dinner with?
Kim Aronson:Are you looking for someone to move in with? Grow older with? And, you know, that that I think that's probably different than when you're in your twenties or thirties, and you're maybe looking to create a family and stuff. That's not what you're doing now. Right?

Merry Elkins:Yeah. Yeah.
Merry Elkins:Well, I don't know that any of us ever really know until it happens. Tim, what would you like our audience to have as a takeaway today?
Kim Aronson:Wow. My my my whole thing is, with all my books, and my work as an intuitive reader is, is about being more conscious, basically. And I think that's just, it's a little underrated, because it adds so much to your life. And what does it actually mean to be more conscious? It's just more aware of how you react to things and how you feel about life and how you feel about yourself.
Kim Aronson:And can you sit with your own feelings and just be, like, waking up to, oh, we are here. We are in a life, and we have these ten, twenty years left. What are we let's get the best out of it. Right? And and so be aware, I think, is is really helpful for your happiness and for your creativity and for your friendship and connection with other people.
Kim Aronson:So, yeah, I mean, if look it up on ChatTTP, what does it mean to be conscious and get some answers there? And how do you become, oh, look at my books or, you know, any other books? Yeah.
Merry Elkins:Good point. And and and we can get your books on your website or where Yeah.
