ABOUT OUR GUEST: 

Katie Beecher is a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience. She's been featured on sites like Goop, Poosh, and KORA Organics. Katie's first book, Heal from Within, teaches you to be your own medical intuitive using her revolutionary step-by-step process for connecting to intuition and spirit. The guidebook is filled with remarkable stories of healing from her years of experience, as well as her own healing from bulimia, Lyme disease, and depression.


TOPIC: 

Katie works with clients to tune into their body, energy, and get to the root causes of the symptoms they’re experiencing. Just by knowing someone's name and age, she can create an extensive four-page report, intuitive soul painting, and provide recommendations that will help clients feel healthier and happier.


In our conversation, we discuss the mind-body connection and how your emotional wellbeing plays into your physical health. Katie breaks down what a spiritual guide is and how she incorporates them into her medical intuitive practice. She also shares advice for how to advocate for yourself in the medical space and what readers can expect from her guidebook on intuitive wellness. 



In this episode, we discuss:

  • What an intuitive medical session with Katie looks like 
  • How intuition really helps you embody your true self 
  • Why Katie likes to use painting to help her process and understand her clients’ pain points  
  • Wellness practices and techniques that can help you connect with your feelings 
  • The benefits of experimenting with different forms of movement
  • Overcoming experiences of medical gaslighting

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, Corinne and Natalie play Overrated/Underrated. Since Corinne started her coffee journey this year, she’s realized that Starbucks is overrated and recently discovered that Pete’s Coffee is totally underrated. Nat thinks that the blockbuster superhero movies are overrated, but indie films like Marcel the Shell with Shoes On don’t get enough attention.

Okay, so which one do you want to pineapple spice or orange? Turmeric? Should we just pop them both? Let's just pop about oh my oh it smell it immediately. Oh, wait. The pineapple spice smells so Natalie's trying the orange turmeric. All I want to say is interesting. Okay, should we we're gonna we're gonna swap this. You guys a lot has happened since we've been on the podcast. There's a lot to cover. There's so much to cover. Natalie and I went to Austin, Texas. We have not talked about that on the podcast. Oh, no. I was thinking about it on the way over here. And I was like, So much happened in those few short days. I know. I don't even know how to best summarize that. I'm like thinking about what was the craziest thing happened, which I don't know. I think it'd be the Uber guy. It was the Uber guy. So Natalie and I went to Austin. We actually went for Carly Aquilino and Jesse Mays comedy show, which was so fun. We met them afterwards. They were so super sweet. And we loved going to the show both have podcasts. Yes, they both have podcasts. So check them out. But Natalie and I ran into a slew of characters. We could only be described as characters throughout our time in Austin. And it just, I don't even the simulation in Austin is very lazy. Okay. They air is approximately like 25 people. And so just repeat. Yeah, they just repeat. And then we had one guy that was right outside of our hotel, which was actually an apartment complex. Yes, potentially illegally, I'm not sure. But he was sitting there literally for four solid days for four days. And in the minute we left, we got our bags packed. He got picked up by the police. The police knew we're like wow, this is like full circle. We're leaving and he's leaving. I

Natalie McMillan:

know. We wouldn't we would wake up and hear like a rooster just screaming scream. Dawn wake us up. Yeah. And we really had a loving relationship with him. I really except for when he had that rocket is he did have a rocket To me, I thought he was gonna throw it at us. But he didn't know. He was very docile. Yeah, he was. So there was that there was an insane Uber driver. So we, we get in, we're going to dinner we're going to barbecue as we should. And we get in the car. And this man immediately goes, What's my name? Only goes hey, I'm Michael. And I go, we get hit my goal we get any goes. That's not my name. What's my name? So then I think we're being kidnapped. Right? And I'm going to check the app. And I look and as I'm supposed to be John, and I go, Oh, John, he goes, see ladies that's why you got to check the app. Don't get it because it was trying to do like a thing you know, like right for our Lacey. But it was kind of scary. Right. So then John is cracking jokes off the get oh, telling his life story. This man's animated and doing the most. He goes on to tell us in a trash can. Oh, yeah, he met his wife because he was eating out the trash can. Right? Anyways, now he's doing really great. But he's so excited. What song did he turn on? He was like, let's sing it together, ladies. I don't even even know some like Earth Wind and Fire song or something. And then he goes, Can I tell us part of it? You can tell this part. I'm not gonna say but he goes. He goes once you say I love my big N word. John. Yeah, Natalie. Jana. Go and Natalie goes. I'm not gonna say I said sir. There is no way to say that. I know, say I love big Edward Jones. And Natalie goes, sir, I promise you I will not say that words will not leave because I've given you permission you in the back and I'm going I'm trying to jump in and go off say if you need me to, because you know I can. And if if you if just to get you to stop, right? He wouldn't. He was not letting he was not really wanting me to do it. And I was like, I don't know how many times you're gonna ask. You gotta be know, every time. Finally, um, he was like, Okay, fine. You could just say big black John. And then we were like, Oh, I guess I guess we'll say that. Because I'm like, Are you gonna like not drop us off? Yeah. And so I got kind of scary and big, like John was relentless, and a character. But he did get us very safely to our destination. He did. He was a good hearted person. Just very, he was really all over the place, too. Because at first it was like, he met his wife how he could talk about his wife. But then he was like, No, my wife married to somebody else or something like that about that going on. Yeah, he was a care. He was one of the many we encountered. But you guys, it was a really fun trip. And we're here. And we're excited that Katherine's coming on. Great Transition. Well, if you guys have been a longtime listener, or even a short time listener, you know that we love, all things spiritual, all things metaphysical. And we've kind of been wanting to lean more into that on the podcast. And actually, Katherine found us and we're really excited that she did because we've never heard of a medical and emotional intuitive, which is what she is, so we're really excited to hear what she has to share. Yeah, because I think there's that one dude, like the Medical Medium or something. Oh, yeah. Don't think that the same thing? No, I don't know what he does. He does something about celery juice. Oh, yeah. He's in big celery. All right, I'm gonna just do her little bio here. So Catherine Beecher, she is a licensed professional counselor, and medical and emotional intuitive with over 30 years of experience. She's featured in goop. She's on Courtney Kardashians website Whosh and Miranda Kerr's Cora's organic blog. She has a unique way of working with clients creating a detailed individualized, physical, emotional and spiritual report and symbolic paintings before even seeing them. Is that crazy? That's crazy for seeing them talking with them, or even seeing a photograph. She only knows their name and their age. And then she does this little painting and like, has this whole thing. I'm sure we'll hear about it. Katie's first book heal from within an intuitive guide to wellness teaches you to be your own medical intuitive, using her revolutionary step by step process for connecting to intuition and spirit. Finding self love and empowerment as well as how to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. Heal from within is filled with remarkable stories of healing from her years of experience as well as her own healing from bulimia, Lyme disease and depression. Oh, I'm so excited. Are you curious? Me too. Let's bring on Catherine Beecher.

Corinne Foxx:

Hello, Katie. Hi. How are you?

Katie Beecher:

I am great. How are you guys?

Corinne Foxx:

We're good. We're so excited to be talking to you. Yeah, we were reading your intro and we were like wow. We really don't know what a medical intuitive is and what you do. And so we were like, we can't wait to have her on. Yeah. And so let's just start there, like, what was your journey to becoming a medical intuitive? And what is a medic? What

Katie Beecher:

the hell is it right? So it's basically when people can tune into your body and energy and tell you things like the symptoms you're having, and the root causes and solutions to help you feel healthier and happier. And I kind of go a step further, because just using someone's name and age, I create a very extensive four page report, and intuitive soul painting. And I am able to not only tune into people's bodies, but basically their whole life, and tell them everything that is impacting their health in their life and their happiness, including things like trauma, and childhood experiences and how their job is going. And if they're connecting intuitively, and how their relationships are and like, everything affects us. And a lot of the people who come to me do have physical or emotional health issues, but not everybody. Some people just want to know how to make their life better, or have better relationships or you know, connected tuition or whatever. But what I have learned over 30 years of doing this, is that our health, emotional physical health is impacted by every single experience we have Yes, and so is our healing. And in my case, I grew up in a pretty dysfunctional family. And I ended up developing bulimia, pretty severe bulimia. And I was suicidal, because I had just kind of had it with living that way, I was throwing up three times a day and using laxatives and diuretics, and it wasn't a happy life. But it turned out to be the very best thing that could have ever happened to me. Because without telling my parents I call their pediatrician. And I told them what I was doing. And I asked for the name of a therapist, and I had a job in a car. And I didn't tell anybody, I just went and paid for it myself. And the person that he hooked me up with was unfortunately, she's no longer living, but was a youngin psychologist. And for people who are listening who don't know about Carl Jung, he's a pretty famous psychiatrist who was very out of the box. And he believed in psychic abilities and the connection to intuition and symbolism, and even astrology and mythology and how all of that impacts our life. And so she helped me to connect to my intuition. And to understand the weird abilities I had all my life like talking to dead people and knowing things that I didn't know, I knew. And she helped me to not be afraid of it and to understand it, and then to basically use all of that to help me heal. And then I knew at that point that I was going to go on and help people see that they could get over difficult things to and to use their experiences for good instead of feeling like everything that happened to us was bad, and, and a big problem. So that turned out to be a really great thing.

Natalie McMillan:

Wow, that is like an incredible story. Yeah, it's so that's really turning your pain into power. Yeah, yep. So she had a huge impact on you. How do you work with your clients? And then in what ways have you seen them heal?

Katie Beecher:

Great question. So I send the report in painting before we meet. And sometimes it's just a painting, sometimes, you know, whatever. But that's the majority of the meetings, I do have the report and painting. And then when people get them, they usually really blown away, which is always very gratifying for me. Because, you know, I never take what I do for granted. But we go over everything in the report, we talk about the things that are going on in their life. And a lot of people come to me, like I said, was just like an emotional or physical concern. And then my guides will bring up things like, Okay, well, in addition to that, you're also still dealing with trauma, or with a recent traumatic experience, or you're in a relationship that makes you really unhappy that's no longer serving you or you want to start your own business, but you're in this job that you hate, or you know, any number of other things. And we take a look at everything We pinpoint how all of that is affecting them. And we talk about different strategies and tools that they can use to move forward and grow. And if people have physical ailments that they're dealing with, even though there are people who do diagnose you do my work. That's illegal and unethical. So while I can pinpoint symptoms, and I can say, you know, things like Lyme or things like whatever, and then people can verify them, I have doctors that I work with that I refer to, you know, do testing and physical treatments and stuff like that. But I have people seeing people transform, you know, their life from being bedridden to now being chiropractors and being able to help other people and leaving relationships that they've, you know, been suffering in for 30 years, and making huge transformations in their mental health, you know, like conquering fears, and even helping people to create their own spiritual and health based businesses, too. So it's, it's been pretty amazing.

Corinne Foxx:

What I've noticed that you bring up a lot is this kind of mind body connection, right? Like how our experiences and also our emotional well being plays into our physical health? Could you touch more on? What is that mind body connection, maybe for someone listening and and how your spiritual and emotional wellbeing plays into your physical well being?

Katie Beecher:

Absolutely. So the simple answer that most people can understand and and have heard of, is how stress can lower your immune system, for example, you know, we're producing cortisol, and that lowers our immune system, or how that cortisol can cause us to gain weight we may not have gained otherwise, or make it hard to lose cortisol impacts is in a ton of physical and emotional ways. So that's a simple example. But things like in my case, I really didn't know who I was, I was a people pleaser, I really had to do and be what other people wanted me to be, I had no self esteem. And so I couldn't trust myself, you know, I didn't have a connection to intuition. And intuition really helps us to be our true selves. Because if we listen, it takes us on our path. And then we, you know, kind of go along to do what you need to do. And I was living in fear mode all the time. So if you are always afraid, if you feel the need to constantly control, if you are in a relationship where you're being abused, and you cannot use your voice, and those are just a few examples, energetically, it's going to impact how you treat yourself, you're not going to feel that you're worthy of doing healthy things and doing stress relief, and you know, you're more likely to fall into addiction, or those kinds of behaviors. It also, if you think about what autoimmune disease means spiritually, autoimmune means self attack. Yes. So if you are doing things that are harming yourself, you know, that is a self attack. And so, if you're doing that, and your intuition is saying, you don't deserve that, or you need to make changes, and you don't listen, the body then responds with that physical energy that you've stored, and acts out that autoimmune response in your symptoms, if that makes sense. Yeah,

Corinne Foxx:

totally. Under Natalie and I both have autoimmune disease. Yeah. And have trauma in our past. And so we've put that together, for ourselves. But I think it's really important that our listeners hear that, ya know, and obviously, it's not like the only right, right, right, right. But you know, something to consider to consider for sure.

Katie Beecher:

It's all of it. You know, it's there's a lot of factors and I don't discount the physical part at all. It's very important because you know, that energy does result in very real physical symptoms.

Natalie McMillan:

Yeah, well, and I think also, just like, intuition, and spirituality, and stuff tends to just get overlooked in terms of science or medicinal things. So how can we tap into our intuition?

Katie Beecher:

This is one of my very favorite things. And if I am doing my job correctly, no matter who I'm meeting with, then I am teaching them how to trust themselves, and how to connect to a protective loving spirit so that they can learn how to love themselves. And I don't ever want someone substituting my intuition for theirs as accurate as my guides are, you know, this, it has to resonate with you and you need to trust you, you don't have that base. So my favorite way and I did not invent this. This is union psychology. It's all in my book, though in detail, is to physically write out a question or your thoughts or feelings and direct it Do whatever you feel is your intuition. So, some people don't even know what that feels like, it's such a foreign concept, right? And so I will ask them is there a relative or, or someone in spirit or whatever that you feel loved you unconditionally, and except that you that you are able to talk to you, or, you know, like our pets, it's kind of like, they don't care what we look like, or if we have makeup on, or you know how much money we make, they just love and accept us. Maybe it's being out in nature, maybe it's the universe, maybe it's God, like when I first started, I wrote to God, so what is your idea of that loving, supportive type of, of entity. And so you write out your thing. And then whatever you hear, see or feel in response to what you wrote, then you write that down. And then you write back to it. And then whatever you get, you write that down, and write back to it. And you end up having a written conversation with your intuition. And doing it in writing is very powerful, for multiple reasons. One being that you have to stop what you're doing to write, you can't still be walking around and doing whatever you're doing, which is very distracting. When you are sitting down and you're focused on on writing, your thoughts are there, you're no, you're having this exchange. So it's really bringing you into a mindfulness meditation experience, really. And because your body is involved in the process, it's easier to get signals from your body, because a lot of intuition comes from our bodies, you know, we get a stomach ache, and it's like, okay, I have to pay attention that what does that telling me? Yeah, you know what I mean? So it's bringing your attention on to all of the ways that you can get intuition. And then to just like, sometimes I will say, Do you have anything to tell me? Sometimes I'll ask a question. Sometimes I'll just start writing, like I'm writing to a friend and ask for feedback. Sometimes it's five minutes, sometimes 20. So like, it's people need to do it in their own way. But it is something that literally saved my life. And it's from Union psychology. And it's a pretty life changing

Corinne Foxx:

tool. So crazy, because we just did an episode on how to journal and we talked about journal prompts and things like that. And this is like free writing, free writing, and just the power of writing and how that can. We talked about all the like mental health benefits of writing that way. And one thing you you've said a few times now that I want to have you explain to our listeners is you've mentioned your guides, in case someone's listening, and they're like, I don't know what that means. Natalie, and I speak that way. Yeah. Not everyone does. So what does that mean? And how is that incorporated into your practice into what you do? Ask really

Katie Beecher:

good question. So yeah, that's an excellent question. So when I started doing this, as I said, I had no self, I had no content, I just knew there was some weird voices I was hearing from God knows where. And I just labeled it as God and like God being a loving force. And then eventually, like, the more I did it, and the more I listened, I became a licensed counselor after high school. And I worked very intuitively and I just listened, you know, to these voices. And I started to realize that they were one was a male voice, the main one was a very powerful, strong male voice. And then sometimes I'd get female voices, and sometimes like, so it kind of changed. And I just started calling them like, my spiritual guides, because that made sense to me. And we all have them. And like, if I meditate, and I ask them to come in, I see them me sitting at like a circular desk, and that there's a first layer of people who are my main advisors, guides, whatever, if you will. And it's a Native American figures and my grandma and and some other people. And then there's like layers and layers and layers of other people. I've never seen their faces. So some people know the names of their guides. I don't, it's not really that important. But I just see layers and layers of people who are looking out for us. So

Corinne Foxx:

I like that you said that your it's your advisory board. Yeah. I loved that way of understanding it. And you also incorporate so you have your guides, but then you also incorporate paintings into your practice, and how does that help your process and understanding your client? And how did you even know that that was a way that you communicated that?

Katie Beecher:

So I have always been an artist. I used to do it a lot more formally. But I've always been an artist. And one of the things about, you know, young in psychology is that they really believe in symbolism and symbolism being a universal language. So with words that we have so many different languages, and so you're not always going to be able to communicate with each other but with symbol bowls with pictures with colors with whatever, they have so much meaning. And so it also comes into play with dream interpretation, in that I could dream about an elephant. And the first thing I would look at is what does that mean to me? What significance does that have me? And then I couldn't go in and Google or look up in books like, what is the symbolism of an elephant. And there's religious symbols and symbols, and art and symbols, and different cultural practices. And there's so many different meanings for these things. But it's a language that anybody can understand. And it's also something that we can feel like it's an unconscious thing, because a lot of us push down words. And that's really scary. So when I was doing these, I did design the report thing, and I'm like, I really want to have something else, something visual, something more, deeper and more unconscious. So I got the idea to just have my guides draw these symbolic representations of people's bodies and their energy. And it gives me another tool for accessing information that maybe isn't as obvious or maybe, with words, as a human, I can kind of interpret those and mess those up. And I try really hard not to, but with the symbols and the paintings and stuff, I just paint it, I just put it there, I don't have a process to really think about it until I'm doing the reading. And then we then I asked my guides to interpret it. And I tell the person what the painting is all about. But it's really a way of accessing deeper unconscious information that I can't necessarily access with words.

Natalie McMillan:

Yeah. So do you suggest that people themselves, let's say, they get your book, and they want to tap into their intuition and their health? Can they also try painting? What are some wellness practices that you should sort of try out?

Katie Beecher:

Ya know, and one of the things in my book is I teach people how to do these paintings.

Katie Beecher:

Oh, amazing. Oh, yeah. So

Katie Beecher:

in the workshops that I give, what are the parts of it is let's teach you how to do a painting, and let's teach you how to interpret it for yourself, you know, and then you can also use these techniques on others. There's a lot of, you know, counselors or other whatever practitioners, and they can use these techniques to help their clients too. And it's something you know, you can be a five year old paint, there's, these do not require any artistic ability. But I think that creativity in general, is a great way to bypass the fear of connecting with our words and thoughts, if that makes sense. Sometimes, when I'm not really sure what I'm feeling, or I want more information than writing, I'll sit down and just be like, Okay, I'm just going to paint, whatever you guys want me to know, or I'm gonna paint my feelings, or I'm going to just kind of let it flow. And then after I sit and interpret it, and ask myself, you know, what's, what's with this and ask my guys to interpret it for me. So I think that's a really important thing. I think that physical movement is absolutely essential. Because a lot of reasons, it's amazing stress relief, and we all could use more stress relief. And it's a great way of releasing stored feelings. From our body. Yes, that is something that is extremely important. It's a great distraction, because people can get very caught up in how bad they feel. It's not fun. And you don't have to run a marathon, you could do whatever movement makes sense for you.

Corinne Foxx:

Yeah, we just did an episode on how to be active and I love that you're using the word movement and not exercise because as we explored in that episode, it's like there's all these different types of movement. And that can doesn't have to be a workout, right can be walking, it can be dance, it can be stretching, it can be you know, there's so many thing. Yeah, there's so many different forms of movement.

Katie Beecher:

No, absolutely. And, you know, my obsession right now happens to be pulled down. So if you've

Natalie McMillan:

done it, it's so hard, hard. It's

Katie Beecher:

so hard, and it's so amazing. And it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I just competed for my very first time in a national competition. So Wow. It was really cool. I wanted my category Yeah. Right. Yeah, that is my, my addiction. You know, I go like six to eight hours a week. And when I started, I couldn't do anything. But I had always done gymnastics as a kid and I looked through adult gymnastics because I wanted to do something fun. And there's been so many benefits to it. One thing being it's the first time that I've I haven't thought of movement as related. to weight.

Corinne Foxx:

Or to or sometimes, you know,

Katie Beecher:

like, it's always been about either not wanting to gain or wanting to lose or body, whatever body dysmorphia or whatever the hell. And now I just look forward to every class and I go, and so there's not any of that, like stress or guilt, or any of the stuff of you know, like, I used to like going to the gym kinda sorta, but I was like, but now it's just enjoyment. And it's helped me to feel differently about my body. Because to stick to the pole, you basically have to wear a bikini. And my family used to joke like, oh my god, she's gonna ban Exu Holy shit, you know? And now I just like, yeah, I want to do stuff on the poll. So I really don't care that much anymore. You know, I don't have a perfect body. It's fine. So it's really shifted my priorities. And I, you know, my friends are from poll. It's just opened up a whole new world, and I'm stronger than I've ever been. I believe

Corinne Foxx:

that. Yeah, I believe that because it's so a lot of upper arm straining whole body. Yeah, it is. That is so impressive. One thing I actually saw on your Instagram that Natalie and I were really interested in, because we've both experienced it, is you talk about medical gaslighting for two different reasons, but we both experienced it. And I'm curious, maybe for someone who's listening who is dealing with an illness and feeling unheard, what is your advice on how we advocate for ourselves, in doctors offices in the medical world, especially when we don't know what Yes, we know what it is we're looking for answers and we are being turned away.

Katie Beecher:

It's so incredibly insulting, and incredibly frustrating. And one of the first things that I say to people is that your doctor is your employee, and you can hire them or fire them. So it's very important. If you feel talked down to if you don't feel heard, if you feel ignored, not that we are always 100%, right? Okay. But if you feel like your feelings aren't being considered, you know, any of those things, then you're not working with someone who's actually going to be able to help you. And sometimes people don't have a lot of choices, depending on where they live, there might not be a lot of availability, but I think there's more now with telemedicine. So there's, you know, there are more choices. So that's a really important thing to feel empowered to feel like the symptoms that I'm having, like, if what that doctor or professional says does not resonate with you to own that and just be like, that doesn't make sense to me. I may not have all the answers, but that doesn't feel right to me. So I need to work with somebody that that is honoring me, and is at least willing to say, Oh, we don't know what that is, you know, I need to do some more work with it. Or yeah, it is must be really hard. What you're going to do is validate. Yeah, that and just maybe to refer you to someone else. Something, but you know, and I've had that happen to me many, many times where I was told that it wasn't possible to have those side effects to that medication. I'm like, Okay, I must be inventing them cool. Or that, you know, a drug was not causing this fever that I had, when I stopped it, it went away. So you know, or just things about those. I have hypermobility? So it's kind of like I've been told, like, No, you really don't have that even though you have all the symptoms.

Corinne Foxx:

Right? Oh, yeah. Daughter and

Katie Beecher:

stuff, too. So one of the things is to really like, check in with your intuition know that you have a voice. And I have clients that have literally gone years and spent 1000s and 1000s of dollars trying to find out what was going on with them, and what the root causes are, you know, so it's incredibly frustrating. And one of the things that's important for me to do is to listen, and to validate and to see where they're at, you know, because we are smart, and we know our bodies better than anybody else does.

Natalie McMillan:

Yeah. I have a whole story for this. I got to tell at the end because I know we're running out of time. Can you tell us about your book? Yeah, we will. We want to talk about Yeah, heal from within, and what you hope readers take away from it.

Katie Beecher:

Absolutely. So when I was doing my recovery thing, when I was 16, I was told that I would write a book that would help people to see that there's more than meets the eye to their symptoms and what they're dealing with and that by connecting to intuition and self love and self accept Since you really could heal from anything, and that that is the basis really for health and happiness, and that you didn't have to feel like a victim, that there was a purpose in what was happening to you that you could communicate with your symptoms, like I actually talked to my eating disorder as a friend, and said, What are you here for? What are you doing? How can you help me? How can I help you heal, you know, to really look at all of the root causes for what's going on in our lives, so that we can be happier and healthier and, you know, have the kind of life we want. So it's like having your own reading with me, it teaches people how to do their own medical and spiritual intuitive reading on themselves, and identify their issues, identify where, what chakras they correspond with, you know, what the root causes of those symptoms are? Where to start, you know, teaches people how to tune in and to figure out, you know, where do I start? What can I? Do I need to prioritize? Are there links? Is there a pattern? You know, do I have a lot of symptoms, say, that have to do with my reproductive organs, or my hips or large intestine like that is second chakra? So what are the patterns to my symptoms? And how can I use that to learn and to heal? You know, maybe you were sexually abused. And you've have a lot of symptoms that don't seem related, but seems to be in the same body area. So it's like, how can I, you know, address that. So I wanted people to be able to do their own medical intuitive readings, there's not a substitute for working with me. But you know, to do that, to feel empowered. There's a billion different subjects in there. And there's also a whole section that talks about like specific illnesses and issues, and the spiritual meanings, some of the root causes and things that you can do about them.

Corinne Foxx:

Wow, we can get so excited. Before we let you go, how can our listeners connect with you? Where can they find you? And where can they find book?

Katie Beecher:

So the book is available wherever books are available? Yeah, Amazon, target all those good places. It's hardcover and audio in other countries at softcover. A lot of people have gotten the hardcover and the audio if you like that audio version, but there's a lot of tools and charts and different things. It's a very hands on book. So there's a lot of like activities and things that it's helpful to see the pages with. So there's that. And my website is Katie beecher.com. So it's ka t i E, B E, ch er.com. I am on Instagram at Katie Beecher, medical, intuitive, and Facebook, and all of those good places. If people want to make an appointment, then they go to my website, and they can do it directly from there. So

Corinne Foxx:

I don't think she has pictures of herself on her Instagram. She doesn't. She should. I know. Also just like her whole overall energy and vibe is like so positive and warm and like I would love to go get dinner with her. I know I want to email her again be like hey, we like coming down. Well, we hope you guys learn more about trusting your intuition how emotional health affects our physical health and how to overcome medical gaslighting. And you guys don't forget we are drinking our special drinks that are not wine. They're not wine. They are they look I ate to patch the patch a fermented beverage of Mexico, Mexico, Mexico. We have the pineapple spice and orange turmeric. Orange turmeric And let's introduce our hottie OF THE WEEK first before we get into what the situation is our hottie is Miss Liv Tyler. Love her. Glow. Stunning. She has a similar vibe to Katy Beecher is kinda like very grounded. Yes. Yes. Like honestly, if Liv Tyler had like Katie has like a whitish hair. Yeah, if Liv Tyler had like a white hair, they might look extremely similar. At cheeks, maybe they're very glowy dropped the skincare. She actually did live tailored. It's like 25 my god I know. Okay, so let's rate this actually. I'm gonna read the back of it. It's to pod j. So it is that is it's not a kombucha. It's a teapot. J It's a fermented probiotic drink. This one is made with pineapple rind, and a unique blend of aromatics and spices. And has been served and sacred throughout Mexico. It's, it's so I've never had anything like it. I've never had anything like it. I'd like it. But it's not. It's not something that I would like go out and be like, I have to get this again. You know, I might. To me. It tastes I think it's fermented pineapple. That's what it is. Oh, is it? Yeah, cuz both of them are fermented with it. Yeah, it was a pineapple on the front to patch a cultures. So whatever it project culture is. I think for me it tastes very much like sin. I really get the cinnamon. Do you taste a lot of cinnamon? Yes. I did a lot of cinnamon in both. Yep, there cinnamon extract. So it kind of almost is like Apple like a like a cider. Like a hot cider vibe to me, but it's bubbly. And it's cold and cold. It's very we can actually say interesting on this one. It's very interested is very interesting. Okay, one to live Tyler. I would give it an A I really like it. I would give it a five. Six and a half six and no. We can't do that. Yeah, you guys. Well just I think you check it out though. It's really fun

Corinne Foxx:

All right, this the part of the episode where we play a little wrap up game and this week. It's overrated, underrated. Natalie's thinking of her. Yeah, I was fine. Okay, you go. Well, this is a dangerous time of year for me to be talking the talk. Oh, slander. It's a little bit of slander when given that given the time of year. Uh huh. So people might come for me, but I think we all are aware that Starbucks is overrated. Yes. But let me clarify that the pumpkin cold foam and the pumpkin stuff. That is a 10 out of 10 they slam dunk with the pumpkin cold foam. I will give you the cold foam. The pumpkin cold foam is a slam dunk the actual cough you guys know I'm new to coffee this year is my my cup my year of coffee. And I've just realized after I was like this coffee sucks. Oh, it's the worst coffee. Yeah, the worst coffee. It's really really bad is the pumpkin cold zone though, is good. But I do feel like the overall pumpkin spice fiasco every year is over. Well, you don't like pumpkin flavoring. I like pumpkin pie. Yeah, but you don't like like pumpkin muffin. I love all that type. Oh, I just feel like we go way overboard with pumpkin in the fall. Yeah, let's like pumpkin spice Oreos, pumpkins. Oh, see? I love all that. I love. I'm okay. I want everything. Everything I eat to be pumpkin flavor. It's true. You didn't like pumpkin spice? Which I honestly have not had anything pumpkin flavored this year.

44:06

Oh no.

Corinne Foxx:

This brings me to my underrated because I had this experience at the airport. And I was like, wait a damn minute. Underrated is Pete's coffee. Let me explain. I was at the airport. I was in a conundrum because now I'm addicted to coffee. And I was like, oh my god, I'm boarding this flight. I think it was maybe to me it was like I was going to Breckenridge I have to have a coffee. So I went to this place that it didn't wasn't even a piece coffee. They served Pete's coffee. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, it was amazing. I was like wow, he's from the bay. Oh, it is yeah. You know like Starbucks to Seattle. Yeah, pizzas the bay. Oh, did not know that. I was pleasantly surprised. I've never actually been in a pizza coffee but the the one that was served at this rinky dink airport. I was not mad. Wow. I'm glad I had this. I mean rinky dink this was like an old record. Brackenridge Yeah, it was I got no no it was lax, but Um, the air it was the are they you to the other thing? Yeah to get on a bus you're paying or this terminal? Yeah. And so there's like one dude with a like a coffee pot. Right? It was amazing. So that's my overrated underrated. I know it's I know the Starbucks girlies are gonna come for me and I know there's I fully stand by you that will coffee fully stand by you.

Natalie McMillan:

Okay, mine might be kind of basic. That's fine. But there are two things that I really truly believe. Yeah, I feel like superhero movies. I feel like they're overrated. For the amount of people that show up at midnight. Pack the theaters. I'm like, okay, I get it. One of my biggest dreams is to be a superhero and a superhero movie so I can't say that I am not into the more I haven't really watched the Marvel or DC movies. That's why I'm so I will say the first time I saw Avengers I was like, what? Oh, fuck. This is amazing. Okay, this is what I'm trying to say. They are good. I've only seen a few. I've seen Captain America one. I saw Spider Man, the one that just recently came out. I saw Avengers and Black Panther. All of them amazing films. The hype is way too overdone. That's what I'm saying. Over they overshoot it. In my opinion. They make a ton of money. But then I'm like, do we have to see it on every single thing? Every billboard every sheets of stickers, cans, stickers, everything. Everything's like whatever the next Marvel movie is. And then the next one's not the flash. We saw the trailer yesterday. Oh, Shazam. I watched the first one it was actually funny. I just can't Okay, it was or overrated in terms of the media the main form about okay, underrated. I have one in particular but in general, very small indie films. I know it sounds like all like history but like things like Marcel the Shell. I loved Marcel nobody so I'm saying like which which is odd, right? Like I can we get a little bit of the hype from superhero movies and put them onto the indie movies. That's what I want. Yeah, because that movie was so fucking good. I had to write in my writing class ago. It was one of my favorite movies I saw this year and I wrote about Marcel the Shell with shoes on. And I just said it took some a concept that is absolutely absurd, and made it familiar and comforting. And it was also just like such a breath of fresh air given the climate of the world. Yes. So I agree with you. I feel like on that, but I think superhero movies can I want to pursue here without that. I feel like you I would love to see you in a superhero movie. But I just feel like the amount of promotion is insane. They put a lot of money into it because a lot of money comes out of it's true. It's true. But hey, so your that's your overrated underrated mine was dangerous territory too. So we might we might be having a superhero girly man the Starbucks we have for us a Starbucks girly who has just picked up her latte through the drive thru and she's driving to see the latest Marvel film and she's like I hazy she's coming for us.
