She Left Law to Follow Her Intuition... and Now Flies Planes and Channels Spirit - with Kristen Swinehart

💬 message Denise Kristen Swinehart is seriously redefining what it means to follow a truly unique path.You know that feeling when you realize you're completely out of alignment? Kristen did too. She walked away from practicing law, became a flight attendant, and stepped fully into her calling as a gifted channeler known as The Flying Medium. Imagine serving up soft drinks one minute and channeling spirit the next....it’s incredible!The part that blew me away is how fast she’s expanding! In just a couple of months, she started training to be a pilot, is launching a new mentorship, prepping her first book release, and......wait for it......unveiling her very own wine label!! She's calling the wine her "luxury door opener" because it creates a conversation starter where mediumship might not. Her plan is to do "book and bottle" launch parties, and honestly, it’s a brilliant idea.We had a deep, open-hearted talk about how all these seemingly different things......flying planes, channeling spirit, and launching a wine label......are actually interwoven when you’re in total alignment. Wanna know her secret? Leaning into the things that feel fun, because that fun is the key that unlocks everything else.If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, hated a job you thought you should do, or wondered how to get the universe to speed up your dreams, this episode is a must-listen. Kristen’s journey is proof that when you trust your intuitive whispers and raise your vibration, things can start shifting incredibly fast.We also dove into:How to go from feeling stuck and uncertain to clear, connected, and empowered.What it means to intentionally live an elevated, luxurious, soul-led lifestyle while doing deep spiritual work.The simple practice she uses to keep the negative human voice from interfering.Why sometimes those difficult life lessons keep showing up until you finally pay attention.Honestly, this conversation is a huge permission slip to follow those little nudges inside you. It can start small, but you truly don't know what's possible until you take that first step.Connect with Kristen Swinehart:Instagram: @theflyingmediumStanStore: https://stan.store/theflyingmediumThank you for spending time with me today on the Thrive After 45™ podcast!
