That is to the Conscious Home Podcast. I'm your host, Blanche Garcia. this is technically our first episode and I'm not gonna lie, uh, it's

a little bit of a nerve

wracking episode. but I figured we can't go into

Conscious Home and all of the amazing things that we're going to talk about without understanding the foundation of how conscious Home came to be and like any I guess, endeavor that's passionate that is really unique there's always a story. this is my story. It's a very personal one and I've honestly gone back and forth so many times on whether to share it because it's a little crazy. You know, there's like, moments in your life that you're like, I can't believe things like this happened. and talking to you now,

I would probably

say you would never guess that this is how this all came to be. so here we go. it's

2020 and, I think that I'm a pretty reasonably successful person. I've been designing for about 28 years.

this point I'm pregnant about to have

my daughter, super excited, but I've always been really connected and intuitive in a parallel

to my life.

whereas I've always been a designer for the past, I don't know, over years at this

point, 24 years at that

point, I have also been on my spiritual journey and what does that even mean? Because there's a lot of different

versions of

spirituality. But for me, it has always been cosmic connection, connection to my guides. You know, like you see feathers and you know that they're with you or numbers and you're reminded you're on

the right path. I had gone on retreats to

like Omega and big into yoga, meditation,

but it wasn't like an everyday thing. So here I am thinking okay, I'm, working on my passions. I'm about to have a

baby. This is so amazing. I ended up having my daughter at a time when the world stopped. it was Right at, lockdown for, the pandemic And nobody was really expecting

parent on who you were and how you set up your life in order to, have control or have peace in your life. And the thing that will come in and basically throw all of that upside down is having a kid. that will definitely throw everything topsy turvy, And that was completely true

for me in

the sense that I didn't realize how neurodivergent I was. I have always been Like, okay, I don't like

a lot of loud noises, bright lights, like never use the overhead light, right? you're always gonna be using sconces and things

like that. I felt just as a designer, I just hated vulgar lighting, right? I didn't like

loud noises. Or I needed to recharge after I was out with friends. I needed like a day to myself and I needed quiet.

you know, so many different things.

I realized though after I had my daughter and being forced into situations where you really don't have control over certain things. And I also really protected sleep a lot.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm one of those people that needs seven

to nine hours sleep. And as a new parent, you don't really get that. So I

am,

it.

To say that that was probably the most challenging time in my life would be an understatement because you really also don't have as you would as a new mom it was interesting because it kind of started slowly where

I was connecting more and more to the other side would say is like the veil And when I say the veil, for those

who don't know what I'm talking about, and some of you will, is that there are so many different layers to what's happening in our reality. There is our physical reality and the things that we see and touch, like I go to work, I

put my pants on, And then there's what's beyond the veil, the things that we pick up but we don't

always see. And those things are really just energy, when you feel Energy in a room. Those are kind of what call Like, the fairy dust of

life. it's almost like you can breathe

air, but you don't see it, but you know it's there.

It's kind of that. So that, veil, that other layer is where our guides operate, our angels

We are forced to leave our fairy dust behind and pay attention

to the physical world because that is what we can see, It's tangible.

And those who are really lucky don't lose that, and so my connection to the side, I always wanted a stronger connection, but I was like, I still felt

it there. there was a week there. my daughter was about six weeks old that I started feeling more of a connection to the side. I

started feeling like I was easily able to jump into, getting downloads or getting information about all sorts things about the life I was living right at this moment. about intuitive, insights about family members, friends, the future. even my daughter, my marriage, there were so many things that were coming in

that

at first

I'm like, wow, this is really cool. Like as a new mother, I'm opening up this kind of third eye and, you know, this new energy,

But the week unfolded,

And what that means is, is that the anger that normally keeps us in this plane as, a human and as a person, on this planet, I didn't feel grounded. So I couldn't control when

I was connecting and I couldn't stay as much as I wanted to which you have to as a parent. You have to

like do things like breastfeed and change diapers and do all these things. I realized that something was wrong. and not wrong in the way like, Oh my God, I feel anxious or I feel upset or mad or

any of those things. I just felt I was constantly getting downloads, constantly connecting. I

was constantly feeling that energy. Because it was COVID and There was no connection to anybody. Like you couldn't get to a doctor, you couldn't get somebody coming over.

My husband noticed, and I actually remember saying to him at one point, it

how I take care of her today and the things that I do. And I'm going to give you some instructions because I have a feeling that I'm not going to be here to

take care of her,

Which is crazy to me. I'm like, what does that even mean?

But that's the the information that I got.

within a couple days, it was just really hard for me to really be present. And so my husband noticed it, he didn't know what to do because obviously I'm the one experiencing it, but he's like, where do I go with this?

And, I ended up, being dropped off because you couldn't go in, nobody could go in, other than me, at the hospital. And I ended up spending a whole week basically being evaluated in the psych ward. And for me to even say that out loud seems kind of crazy to me. And it seems out of body, I can't believe I'm saying

this out loud.

but it really is true. And what's interesting to me, is that it happened to me. Like, I'm the person that people come to advice. I'm the

hospital And a song had come on on the radio And my

mother And my husband in

the car with us and I remember turning to them saying, Is today the day that I die? Because I literally thought that I had said goodbye to my daughter for the last time. I was like, wow, I just didn't see it ending like this.

I didn't see

that this would be the end and that I'd have a daughter that I really wanted and that this is where my

story ends. So I really felt that going there because you have to remember it's the pandemic. I wasn't being present. I feel like I was untethered.

And so when you see a bunch of doctors come out. In masks and, saying goodbye to your, your husband and your mom, you're kind of like, I don't know, if I'm ever coming back out of here, especially in the pandemic, who knows if I end up getting COVID and I just come back out, cause that was pretty much a reality.

psychic, maybe years earlier. And, She's like, I want you to get on a handkerchief and have it in engraved or Like sewn in, it's going to, say, trust yourself, bitch. And I know that sounds really crazy. It says, trust bitch, but I've always had It on my nightstand. So I don't know why, but that day when we were going, I picked it up off the

nightstand. I put it in my pocket. When I was going the hospital and I was saying goodbye to my mother, my

mother

told me, like, stick it in your bra because then you can keep it with you

because they're, Going to take everything from you when you

And it was me candles and it was not that. It was 23 hours of screaming, epidural, inducing

craziness. And I am not a person that even like barely takes an Advil. So I think it really threw my body out of whack.

and as a new mother, my whole physical body just went through this whole traumatic metamorphosis. And I also think that my third

eye, which is what we all have, which is what connects us to the other side, even,

me being as intuitive as I was, it kind of blew it wide open.

It was like, a water spout that I could not control the information coming in and out.

and

me trying to find myself so that I could get home and get back to my daughter.

you really have to remember to trust yourself because I had to

dig deep, like who was Blanche? What is her belief system? So what's really interesting about the medical field is that

they will only help you with what they can see.

Which means that. they are treating. The symptom. They are not treating Why they don't need or want to understand the why in a way They just want

to make it go away. And so they'll do that with different prescriptions and

pills and

those types of things because they just would

like to stop the symptoms They just would like

it to kind of pat it down and go away, which I get you know Because if it goes away, then you're fine

But they're not really going deep into

the why. And somebody who is really intuitive and

spiritually aligned, there were so many different layers. But at that time, when I was in the hospital, the

heightened intuitive, awareness where we go from that. So when I was in the hospital, they would call, when I would say to them, Oh, these are the things that I'm experiencing, they

would call that magical

thinking, which is interesting. like, what was magical thinking is things like, When I would say Oh, I just always believed my guides and my angels were with me supporting me and giving me signs and they're like yeah, that's

what we call magical thinking.

And you're just like,

Oh, okay. I just thought that was my divine feminine connecting to my energy and supporting everything in my fucking life. That's what I thought I was doing with my life. I thought I was leading it in the direction of my passions, but it's clearly it's magical thinking and

I should just shut the fuck up.

means, you are in survival mode and you need to get back to your daughter And your family. What was interesting to me is that like, the first day or so that I was there,

I didn't want to eat

anything. And they thought I didn't want eat anything because I was like, oh my god, what

if she's

doesn't want to be on this planet anymore, and she wants to do herself in, and you know what I'm saying?

And I was nah bitch, I don't want to eat anything because I don't want to catch COVID.

There's a fucking pandemic going on. I don't know, that

seemed normal to me. so, As the days progressed,

I was there for about a week, and I

was able to finally, get myself out. and then there was a whole

other.

And you really find out what your marriage

is worth and your partner is made of when you're in situations where it really calls

them to step

up. because this was very different and new for him. and I really just spent a few months. it was just clouded, like finding my way through the woods, finding myself again, you know, like I had gotten off the medication.

They had said to me, we don't know, you didn't have any negative or bad tendencies

or thoughts from what we can

hear. But the only thing that we're not sure postpartum psychosis? and that's the only thing they can assimilate with. And I honestly don't know because I didn't have any negative. Thoughts or feelings. I just was connecting to the astroplane

24 7 So I don't think they have really like a for something like that really but after a few weeks, I was

honestly able to get off of medication and this is me saying that there are times in our life where we need that

And that support because I can't really say anything negative about it.

But I realized the things that I

thought that I had taken for granted while I was single without kid, We're getting eight hours of sleep, Meditating eating certain fruits and veggies going on walks connecting to nature journaling. These were things that I thought I just love to do. I didn't realize until I had to get back to myself that they were a necessity.

It's what I needed to do. And as I started doing more of these practices and I started meditating every day,

I realized that I could connect

to my guides and my angels and to my soul team, I call them, or my galactic team that's out

there. I could still make that a

shallow, surface compared to the type of person that I had transformed into. I had had what I call a spiritual awakening at this point. And the life that I had, the things that I was interested completely shifted, and that happened for a lot of people during the pandemic, honestly, people just changed, realized what was important to them. What I would say also went through a huge mass awakening in a lot of ways.

For me, this was no different, but I realized I wanted something different in my life. And I also realized that these things

that I

thought were just

by chance, were really conditional to my mental

and intuitive well being, my soul,

and so I was finding myself back

to myself I said, what does this all mean?

And I was kind of playing with a

lot of

different modalities. One of them was I was talking to different spiritual teachers that I have always gone there and I was like, okay, now I'm feeling safer that I can connect With, protection. I always protect myself

I'm going in responsibly. When I go in to meditate, and have any intuitive connection, I'm going in responsibly. And I'm making sure that I'm grounded every day, every morning, whether, right now it's like freezing outside, but

normally I would go outside barefoot, step on the grass and get that grounding energy from the earth. another thing I realized that I needed, and if I can't do that, as soon as I wake up, I'm tethering myself with a red root energy down to the core of the earth. And I realized that I needed that protection and I needed that connection. Because if not, when you go to connect to the other side, you're just like literally out in the atmosphere, just like fucking

like You know, you can't do that, it's like driving without wheels, like you need the wheels, you need the engine, so you could like really fly, you know, so at the time I was dabbling with what does this all mean? why did I go through

all this why did this? happen to me? Like, what am I supposed to do with

it? Because now

Because I have always been such a passion driven person. Like everything I

do, I

have to be in love with or else I can't do it. I can't just show up and just phone it in. So I was like, what the hell does this mean? So I did a lot of deep inner work, a lot of journaling, a lot of meditating, a lot of being alone in nature walks. And part of the things that started popping up for me, I know this is going to

sound kind of weird to some of you out there,

is I started going on TikTok a lot, which is like a lot, of people out there during the pandemic, because I was just like, what does this even mean? But what's interesting about energy

and about signs And about your guides is that they're always there waiting to help direct you.

They're always leaving little breadcrumbs for you, and when we're in something, when we have to figure something out, it's really hard to see that. But if you just calm your mind and your energy, you're able to pay attention

my phone, my husband, that's really it. And, the only way they could get to me was honestly through TikTok. So I started getting all these and people that were. Kind of in a similar boat to me that they had recently gone through something and they were working out what does that mean for them? and one of the people that came to me was actually this Akashic record reader Alicia.

And when I saw her videos, I think that when you see somebody that you know is a soul member of your

family From either another time period or you're supposed to meet them. or connect with them. There's an instant Recognition. And so when I saw her, I remember going, wow, I want to connect with her. And she had done a Kachik record reading and I'd heard a little bit about it, in the past, but I had never really delved into it.

So I was like,

with her And it was life changing. It was life changing. because

she not only went into your records and Akashic records are Like, a big Google Drive in sky that has all your information of who you were before you came down to the planet, what is your mission here?

If you have on your passions,

what is the point of you

being here? How do you to your best life? just so many

answers and information of past, present, future, who you're going to be. And it's fascinating, but what was different for me is that I've had readings And connected with, spiritual advisors before, but when she went into the records, I felt like I went into the records, I could feel the energy and the information. It's almost like when she was talking, I was like, yeah, I see that too. I feel that too. they were giving me confirmation one after the other And it was like we were in this. Symbiotic experience where

I was feeling what she was telling me. and so there was never any Oh, is that real?

Or is right it was like,

yeah, yeah, a

she shared this prayer with me, the opening prayer that you use to get in and to close out the session, And she was like I'm going to share this with you because what they're saying is that you're going to

be using the Akashic Records in your work.

I don't know how, but basically you're going to be using it and this was

for you,

not to you, this was done. and this was for, the next version of who you're going to be. And I don't know what that Means but they say somehow you're going to be doing this work and you're going to be connecting all these things that you've learned into what you do.

Which is great. It's like eye

opening, right, But you also finish the session and you're like,

and now what the hell do I do? now what do I do

with all this? So then you're just going back in and figuring it all out. fast forward, I literally started using the Akashic Records, going in and asking the questions like, what does my business want to be my highest good? What do I do with this information? how does this become my reality, because I was used to running my

business

a certain way, I was used to

and soul. And I use

so many

things that have to do with not only interior design, but intuitive connection, and soul based living, and nutrition, and mindfulness. I realized I wanted to put those all together. That there was really nothing out there that had them all together. There was like feng shui, shui, right?

which is great. but what I don't love

about feng shui is that there's one way, that you're supposed to set up your

space. So, if you don't love the color

red, well, you're screwed, because that color is the color. that's gonna bring passion into your life. that's the only

color.

or you put it in a dining room, But what if you like had a really bad visceral reaction to red in dining rooms?

I

about the energy of space. And I was just like, no, no, no, this is what I want. So I've always been on this track. But I realized I had to go deeper. the experience that I

had,

being in the hospital, and honestly, even when I got out of the hospital, I went from what they call postpartum psychosis, I went to postpartum depression, postpartum insomnia, postpartum anxiety, you name it, the universe was like, nah bitch, we're giving it all to you. So, those experiences now gave me information, they gave me empathy too, but by the way, that's what experiences do, They give you compassion and empathy. but it also gave me information. And so I created six archetypes And When I was in my sessions with myself with going into my records and meditation, I started writing out what are these archetypes And they're significant quadrants that all of them need to be in alignment and balance to really have a beautiful

needed

a

lot of happiness at that point and there wasn't a lot places to get it from, and I also needed that security and that balance, and that

grounding. I needed still, and still is about peace and serenity, because as a new mom, we really just

need that quiet and connection.

So, the things that really helped support me were things

like the type of lighting levels I used in the house,

furniture

types what brought me joy certain artwork, because we were in the middle

of construction and renovation, which kind

of halted with everything going on. But I wanted to bring in pieces that really brought me

joy.

meditations I needed, mantras,

systems. I go outside in the morning. I protect myself, I meditate, I

do these things, self care. what am I eating? What am I putting into my body? Exercise, which goes into vigor and supporting my body to make sure I was

as healthy as I could be. Because obviously,

it was the pandemic, So everybody's dropping like flies, right? so all of these things really came into

home. And I realized that it was bigger than me. And,

that I wanted people to have access. I wanted

The everyday person to have

access to these tools. And also to the

Akashic Records because we all an inherent right. To this information.

It's not

gatekept. It's really ours. It's our divine right to have access to our own records

Just like anything else just like our own health and our

own, Mental health, right? We should have access

to this. So, with creating the website. What's really interesting is that

Not only, you can get to your archetype, Obviously

the quiz because I was like, How do I assess who would need what in a way to somebody get to their archetype Because sometimes you think you need something, or You want something, but it's not what You need. Like, I want more love and romance, so I'm gonna go to ardor. But what you need is really

more

kin. You really need more foundation. So I was like, how do I get somebody to that

can't believe, it's like I've had different lives in this life and the person that I was before going into that, is a completely different person than who I am now. I know that that happened for me and not to me because It's not that it's not painful. It's not that it, doesn't hurt because it was so traumatic and stressful, but I really feel like through the fire, the phoenix came

out.

and I'm so much more grateful and centered and know exactly what I want my time on this earth to be about And what legacy I want to leave for Those who will remember me and even for my daughter, the energy I want to create so that

that

light keeps

going forward. And I want to end this with something really

beautiful

ethos.

I had the most

amazing beautiful downloads and visions that I will probably ever have in my life and I remember one of them very specifically and it was that through how crazy and how Bad things seemed at that moment with the pandemic and nobody really knew what was going on I saw all of us, the ones that are really aware that they want something

better on this, planet they, really look at life as like

tomorrow's a better day And they want to create and bring joy and find happiness.

And

I saw all of

as these beautiful light workers, holding hands and connected around the planet.

there were so many more of us than there are those Who don't want

that. what happened through the pandemic, it was a silver lining that we realized more and more of us are

realizing yeah, It's kind of like, a dumpster fire, a lot of the planet, right? There's a lot of shit going

change somebody's

life.

And that's what I saw and what I learned and it was the most

beautiful thing that I ever

seen

in my life

And I realized that I was given a gift I was given a gift to see something That not everybody gets to see

and so, that's

where Conscious Home came from. I know,

not the simple story you

you you were getting, right? You like, probably logged on and you're

like,

Episode 1 of podcast is gonna be light and airy, not this, not We were

unpacking some luggage. like brought my Louis Vuitton to like, unpack for you guys. but I don't know any other way than to live authentically. So I leave it

all on the floor, And I really do believe that your

vibe attracts your tribe.

for those who resonate with

this, just keep coming back because we have so

many things planned. Our next episode is with actually, Alicia. and it's really great because every time I'm around her, I feel like fairies and

butterflies hanging out.

So, come join us for our
