Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. I'm excited to continue our series where I'm interviewing amazing people. Today I'm interviewing my client, Maren Rasmussen. And if you know Maren, I know you already know she's amazing. If you don't know Maren, you're in for a treat. Because Maren is an energy worker and a life coach, and she has the gift of seeing energy.
And so I thought it'd be really fun to bring her on the podcast and talk about the energetics of money. We also talk about generational energy in this episode. So if you're new to energy work, I think you're gonna love it. If you're experienced or been a student of energy work, I also think you're gonna love it either way. I think it's insightful. I think it's powerful. I think you're gonna really enjoy it. So without further ado, let's jump into my conversation with Maren.
Amber: Hi, Maren. Welcome to the podcast.
Maren: Hello.
Amber: I'm so excited to have you. For the people who don't know you, I think many of the people who listen to my podcast would know you. But for the people who don't know you, tell us about you.
Maren: Okay, I'm Maren Rasmussen. I'm originally from St. George, Utah, but I live in northern Utah now. And I'm an energy awareness coach or an energetic advisor, as I like to call myself. And I have a gift to see energy. And so I am able to look at someone's system and kind of see what's energetically going on, which is symbolic in lots of ways.
Like I might see a ball in their throat or something over their head, and then we kind of dissect it to see what's going on energetically for them. But I had this gift, didn't know what to do with it, and then eventually realized that we needed the mindset part of it. So that's where I learned about coaching and bringing the two together and how important your beliefs are to like really ship the energy.
So I have two little kids, two and four-year-olds. She just turned four, so I have to remember that now. And then I have two stepkids. They just had birthdays as well. They're 19 and 22. So we've got a big age gap and super fun. I like to do lots of things indoors, like reading books and just relaxing and yoga, all that. And then I like to be outdoors too. So a little bit about me.
Amber: I love it. Okay, for your gift, I know a lot about your gift, but I actually do have some questions that I don't. Do you see it physically? Like, do you see energy around people physically all the time? Or do you have to kind of tune in to see it?
Maren: Great question. I have to tune in and it takes effort, I would say. And as I've used my gift more and more, it becomes easier for me to tap in to see things. I call it tapping in because I'm like an intentional, I'm going to look into your energy now. And I also have a very strict rule that I don't look into someone's energy unless they give me permission.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: And so that kind of allows me to have the boundaries. So I'm not walking around just seeing like energy everywhere. But yeah, so it definitely is something I have to use kind of like my mind's eye where you daydream. That's kind of where I see the energy.
Amber: Do you see different colors?
Maren: Yes. Not like orange though. Like a lot of people will talk about like, oh, I saw a person and I can see like purple or blue around them. I can kind of tap into that. But more so, I will see colors that are explaining something about the energy. There's always a purpose for it. Like if I see yellow in your stomach, it's like the sunshine type energy related to your inner child. And we'll kind of open up to see if there's black. I always know black and dark energy is something we really need to look at and shift to help get out of your system.
Amber: What are the colors you see the most?
Maren: Oh, that's a good question. I see black and gray. I feel like because my purpose is to help my clients shift and release or change their beliefs, I am like looking for that, right? We're coming to the session on purpose to help make some changes for them. And so black, gray energy. And then I do see a lot of white. Not like the color white, more like light.
Like if you think of God and that like light, that pure light, I will see that. I love that because I get to see that in every individual and I'm like, everyone has light. Even if like it's the worst person in the world, I can like see the light to an extent in them because we're all children of God, in my opinion. And so it's really awesome to see that. And then some like reds and yellows, the primary colors I think come up the most when I'm working on people.
Amber: Do you do this on your children?
Maren: Yes, not very often. It's actually a lot harder for me to work on people I know really well. But my spouse, he lets me work on him like he's open to always. And a lot of times if he's having a hard day, I'll just like text him an energy session. My kids, my daughter and I were just in a car accident.
And so shortly after that, I just had her lay down and like just kind of talked through what I was doing with her very quickly, some energy. And then if other things come up with them, I will try to see energetically what's going on. For example, my two year old, we just found out she has a syndrome called breath holding syndrome. So like she holds her breath so long when she cries that she'll pass out.
And so I was looking at that like, is there something specific happening here? And so I did see almost like a concrete wall over her head and around the sides of her head and worked through that a little bit to see what the energy was telling me. I can't remember now. Once I work on someone and the energy is gone, I usually don't remember what we worked on. But it is useful to work on, yeah, on my kids. I probably should do it a little more. But yeah, it's great.
Amber: It is so interesting. And can you see your own energy or no?
Maren: Yes, that's the most challenging. I would say that's similar to like, I need a life coach, right, to coach so I can do it. But I do have a couple of individuals that I'll reach out to occasionally to do energy work. And you, I would say, like, you're my coach and I feel like you have a gift similar to like how I see stuff at times. And so that's been really useful for me to reach out to you and ask about my energy with that.
Amber: Okay, but you can see your own.
Maren: Yeah.
Amber: Okay. So the reason that I'm asking is because I'm getting like almost a frame for like where we're going to go because they were going to talk about the energetics of money. We're going to talk about generational energy, too, because I think you said that comes up a lot with your clients.
Maren: Yes.
Amber: Just my listeners like that would resonate probably a lot. And so I'm trying to feel like, okay, so Maren sees energy. She sees different colors. I know a lot about your gift, but I'm trying to like set this frame so that everyone can kind of get a peek into how gift works so that when we start talking about how you see blocked energy as it relates to like prosperity and money and business, it comes to life.
Maren: Right.
Amber: So if someone comes to you in a session and you know that they have blocked money, what could that look like?
Maren: That often looks like money, like I will actually see money around their system and their clients.
Amber: Like paper bills?
Maren: Yeah. Like a stack of paper bills. Sometimes I have rarely seen like gold bars, but I will see that sometimes that usually it's like a stack of paper bills like lined together or like they're separate and they're kind of flying around someone. And then I will see people either like pushing it away like this with their hands or they're like open to it or it's just flying around them, but it's not coming to them.
So I can tell like, okay, it's close to you, but why aren't you receiving it? And we'll work on like the receiving part or pushing it away. What beliefs are causing you to push away? And some of those often are like, oh, I'm okay with money coming to me this way, but not this way. Or I'm a stay-at-home mom. Money comes to me through no way. Like I don't make money.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: So they're not noticing that they're helping create the money, even if it comes through the door of their spouse, which is something you've really taught me as well. So yeah.
Amber: So here's another question. Do people have, I'm curious, like different energy systems or do you see a similar energy system when you talk about money to everyone?
Maren: I would say I see a similar energy system, almost like the energy of money is an energy or a universal law. The more I've studied the energy of money, it's separate from us. But as I watch it, it wants to move, like moves and it flows, the energy of money. And it wants to come to individuals, but they have to receive it. It's not related to worthiness. That is one thing I hear a lot of people say, like, I want to be more worthy to receive money.
When I heard enough of my clients say that, I started asking more questions to the energy and even like watching it. And I'm like, it has nothing to do with worthiness. It's more about your self-perception of like your container. Can my container, my energy, my body, my spirit hold this? And then your self-identity, like how do I define myself? And if there's energy within your system that, you know, like things like that don't happen to me or it's not safe to have money. I have a friend that just recently we were doing a little work on her just for fun.
And I could tell there was, I call it a money thermostat. So a clear line of like, it's safe to have money at this level, but anything beyond that is not safe. And as we dug into that for her, it was judgment. People will start judging me and being judged is not safe because I will get kicked out of the tribe. So there's like different levels. Did I answer your question?
Amber: Yeah, no, that was great. So tell me more about like money doesn't respond to worthiness.
Maren: Yeah. So there are a few clients at the same time that are very active in their religion. They believe in God. They have that connection and they kept tying almost like I must not be doing something that God wants me to do. And that's why this money is not coming to me. They were tying that and then they would use the word worthy. So I'm not good enough yet or I'm not this enough yet. And you can look at the world easily.
And if you like have a definition of worthiness for you, that's related to like God thinks you're worthy, however you want to look at that. There's a lot of people that would be like, well, they're not worthy and they have tons of money. So as I was noticing that I'm like money, it has nothing to do with worthiness. It has everything to do with opening up to what you believe you can receive, who you believe you are. I do think there are unethical ways to receive money.
I can see that in the world as well, but I don't focus on those and none of my clients are there. So I don't like go research that. I'm researching more so when you're aligned and in the light and doing what you feel is good for you in your life, how does money come to you? How does it want to come to you? And it always wants to come. I've never seen someone where it's like, this will be bad for you ever.
I've worked on so many people with money and even like quick sessions on people. And that was pretty fascinating to me as well as like, oh, money wants to come to everyone. Has nothing to do with your worth. Now, I think everyone is of worth, 100% of worth, but I would say worthiness is tied more to maybe your spirituality and like checking off things. Yeah, I need to do these things to be able to be more worthy. And really, as people open up to, I'm already 100%.
Like, I have enough. I'm light. I can handle this. When money comes to me, I will use it beautifully. Like, we talk often about money being a mirror or it's just something that amplifies what you already are. The more I've seen the energy of money, the more I believe that to be true. And it also wants to move. So, not holding too tight to it. Like, when we see the tight energy, that's like very scarce, fearful energy. When we like release and open up and relax, the money can move and flow. And then it always wants to come back to you and more.
And it's funny because a lot of these beliefs I've actually worked on with you as I've worked on my own money beliefs, then I've seen it actually trickle into my clients and how, wow, the money just wants to come and support. It's something to help you experience life and create. I really do think it's like this co-creative power or tool, one of the tools we can use to create in this life.
Amber: Yeah. So, here's an interesting like statement. And I'm going to see where you take it. But one of the things that I've also said is like money is neutral. Do you see money as neutral or do you see it charged?
Maren: Oh, let me look at that.
Amber: I bet it depends.
Maren: Yeah. I see it as charged sometimes, but I do see it more in like a neutral flow, meaning it doesn't make you better or worse. It simply like expands. I'm looking at it right now energetically and trying to see how I see that. And when I see money come to you, it just if you imagine you have like a light around your whole body and just like this little thin strip of light and then money comes in light to you, it expands your container or how much light you can hold. And therefore, it can also help release identities that are not useful.
So, yeah, I would say that the neutrality of it as it comes to you can then expand your container to allow you to be more aligned in the light yourself. Even looking at it right now, I'm like, that's something I want to dig into more because I can see how that as you allow it, it just helps you see like the lights within you. It's not the money that's making you this thing. You're already that light. The money helps you to expand and to like see it easier and to receive more and to hold more.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: And to connect more with the universe and God, all those things.
Amber: So here's another question that I have for you. One of the things that I coach on the lot is like hierarchy, mindset of a hierarchy. So like so-and-so has a lot of money, therefore they are more important, special, talented, etc. People hire people who have more money. Does that make sense? Like there's a hierarchy like a pedestal. So when you see a hierarchical system, what do you see? Like, is it real? Does that make sense? Like, according to those people, does it have to do with them being better or is it something different?
Maren: Something different. Yeah. So if I imagine a hierarchical system or even just belief that I've had probably in my life at times, I believe we are like all equal. And then with money is just this tool that comes to help you experience life in different ways. It's interesting because one of the things that I've seen, so some people put people on a pedestal that have more money. I've also seen many people put people that have less money on a pedestal.
Their kind of suffering like they're going to learn more and they're more Christ-like. I hear this often, like, oh, those rich kids, they won't ever know how to learn how to work because they don't have to work a day in their life. So I've found as you characterize the money, it's a dark energy. It's not useful.
Maybe that's more so where like the neutrality of money comes in, because when you start characterizing like, oh, it makes me good or bad, or I'm not going to be a good worker, or if I have less than I'm more spiritual. Then you start adding in this dark layer of energy that almost stifles the energy of money. It stops the progress and the movement of it that wants to come to you to help you expand.
So whenever I'm working with clients, I point that out, be aware of how you judge other people with money, be aware how you talk about it, and be very careful not to characterize like, don't, oh, because now I'm making $50,000 a month or whatever, now I'm good enough. But it doesn't align. It's more so we're just expanding. Our containers will be more. We're allowing more. We're really good at receiving as we like open up to that energy. The other things that we're working on as well, but it's all progressive. It's all to help our evolution.
Amber: So how would you help someone, like, if someone's like listening, it's like, how do I know I'm open energetically to more money? What would you say?
Maren: I would say, well, first of all, look at your bank account. Be aware of when money's coming to you, even like small doses. There was one weekend, a few weekends ago, and I was like, I've become more aware of when I'm open and when I'm closed. And one weekend, I was very relaxed. I was open, not even focused on money.
But I had a few things on Facebook Marketplace that I was just trying to sell. Not a big deal, but they all sold that weekend. They'd been on for weeks. And then I got this check from an insurance company for like $10 or something small. But I was very aware. I was like, oh, money is coming to me. It's noticing that I'm open. Maybe it's even like seeing if I'm open. Am I noticing like, hey, I'm willing to receive it and wanted to come through these doors.
And even just so small amounts. And then you can also look at your bank account and kind of see how it fluctuates, what it does. There is an energy to like things. So your bank account, your house, maybe your social media accounts. So when I've looked at specific bank accounts for my client, each one even has a different energy to it. So I've done that with my work too. So like being willing to know like what this bank account is.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: And up for an open for that is like reflecting some of my beliefs back to me. Is there a bank account that just keeps shrinking or it just stays the same? Is it only used for certain things? Like it's just really good to be curious about that and open to what am I open to? What's coming to me? What's being blocked?
Amber: This is so interesting. So people have multiple bank accounts. If they haven't put a conscious intention on it, can you see what that is like? Or maybe it depends.
Maren: I would say no matter what, there is an intention for your bank account. So whether it's conscious or subconscious, right? And so recently I just worked on a client and she had like six accounts that she wanted me to look at. And we looked at each one and a couple of them were doing pretty well. Like there was this good flow to it.
One was for her business, which I'm sure in her mind was like, yeah, a business should make money. So it was okay for this account to make money. And then we were looking at her checking account and it was kind of like small and blah. Like it just didn't look very happy. And so we focused more in on that. Like, what do you spend here? What do you think this is for?
An example from myself is we were working on my savings account and I was looking at like, why is my account like not growing at all? It's staying at the same place. And I realized because of how I was raised and beliefs that I've been taught that we're good. But now I've kind of outgrown of this is for a rainy day. Like I just have this money here simply so that it's something that happens.
Amber: And you know, I don't believe in planning for rainy days.
Maren: Yeah. And that's what you helped me like immensely. That was like a huge shift for me. Even as I'm looking at energetically like, oh my gosh, this is like for a rainy day. I don't want this to be for any day where I want this to be for everything like to support me for experiences. I want to grow and to continue to expand. So, yeah, you can kind of if you are thinking about your bank accounts, I think you can just look even at the history of the account. What's it done?
Like, what have you used it for? And then you can even expand it like, okay, I like using it for things. And maybe we'd like to add some surprising energy in here to some money that comes and flows easily through this account that says for travel and fun and experiences that continues to grow and develop as well.
Amber: Totally. I think you and I have this in common because I'm not like anti saving money, but the purpose, the energy behind it can change so much for people.
Maren: Yeah.
Amber: So like being supported by money is very different than saving for a rainy day. I'm curious, just like time out. Tell me what you see between those two sentences, right? Saving for a rainy day. What do you see? I love being supported by money. What do you see?
Maren: Yeah. So saving for a rainy day, I actually do see like flood and rain coming into an account. So it looks very soppy and wet and dreary for I love being supported by money. Energetically, that just looks like sunshine and growth and like a garden that's growing and that you could plant any of these seeds in there to grow.
So like the rainy day one, it's almost like a shipping container, actually, where it's like we can hold this much in here. And we're going to say, and it's yeah, it's just this like dreary energy. But being supported by money, it's like this huge valley that's full of a garden that you can plant any seeds you want that can just grow and create anything. That's awesome.
Amber: I like looking at that. Interesting. Okay. So the other thing that we had talked about is like generational. So how does generational energy impact money?
Maren: Yeah. So often I will describe to people how I see generational energy. It's not always this way, but this is a simplified way that people can understand is just like our DNA is passed down to us, beliefs are passed down. And so you kind of get handed this rock in your system and say it's in your shoulder. So there's like this rock of generational energy related to money.
And then over time, that rock becomes part of your identity because you're like, this is just who I am. You see some mud over in the corner. So you grab the mud and you start forming mud around the rock. Now, if we realize, wait, this is not really my identity. I'm not really scarce. I'm not bad with money. I'm not an overspender. I just spend too much. A lot of my clients at times or like I am scared of it. I don't know how to work with money. I don't know how to invest.
If we remove that generational belief, that rock, imagine now that mud is like dried up. So we remove the rock, the mud crumbles. So it's like so much easier to work on your own stuff and release that. So if you're hitting up against a wall, I've tried everything. I can't figure this out. Why isn't this shifting? Why isn't this changing? I believe most of the time there's a generational aspect or it's not even yours. Maybe it's not even an ancestor.
It could be a friend's or someone else's. So you often ask this question, too, is like, is this mine? Is this something that I need to work on? Is it really my energy? Once we release that, then we can work on our own beliefs. So it's really about identity. What do you believe you are? Like I have many friends that will talk about, I'm just not good with money. Like I don't know what to do with it. I don't know how to invest. And it's so simple.
It's like we talk about it all the time or that thing's so expensive. Even just little phrases or judging other people and how they spend their money. I have some family members on my spouse's side that will often talk about like really spiritual people with money are bad and evil because they've had experiences where maybe a few people in their life that had a lot of money and were supposedly very spiritual were not good people. And so then they've looked for and created more and more of that evidence. Now they really value being spiritual.
So they're not going to allow money to come to them because they don't want to be a spiritual and money don't go together to them. And so even just being aware of how your family talks about money can make you aware of some generational energy that may be stuck. But really it does come back to that identity of like, I think I'm this way, but is this really who I am? And being able to shift that belief. And then the energy can start flowing. So it's not stuck in that one spot.
Amber: Yeah. One of the things that I've said, because I don't do energy work like you, but I think words have energy. So it's kind of interesting. I think judgment cements a reality. So I'm curious, like when you hear people making judgments, can you see that? I mean, I use cementing, but like, is there like an energy where it's like they're keeping it in place? Does that make sense?
Maren: Totally. I 100% agree. So someone judges someone else for driving like a BMW or something. Your system is going to either put a hand up against money, say money is trying to flow to you from the universe.
And then your hand kind of, oh, those guys that drive the BMW, you know, the hand that comes up and pushes and says, almost like money, I want you to come to me, but not this way. And when we start telling money how it's supposed to come to us, you talk about like we can have a preference, but if we, it has to come this way, it closes so many more doors than are open.
Amber: And open all the ways money can come. Yeah.
Maren: Yes. We're limiting it. And that's another like the energy and money does not want to be limited. And that's where it kind of can get into the quantum field of things like we don't even know all of the ways and the reasons for how this can come to us or how it can help propel us forward. Even just having money goals and working on your money beliefs. It could really be not about the money, but you will have to change your identity to become someone that can receive a larger amount or a bigger amount of money.
You'll have to release judgment of other people and judgment of things. All of that is a beautiful thing because I agree that creates more of like a hard energy in your system. And your system wants to just continually be moving and flowing, allowing light in, moving that through your system always. It doesn't really like to be stopped or stuck.
Amber: I could see that. Well, even like the word energy means it's moving like not a stuck stagnant thing.
Maren: Yes. Yeah. I think energy, your system, like your light even. I used to use the phrase like, I don't want to hold on to darkness. I want to hold on to light. And then I thought, oh, even holding onto light almost sounds like a scarce response or phrase. And so it's like, no, I don't need to hold on to it because it's always there. It's just always present, flowing. It's always coming to me. It's moving through me. It's nourishing me. Yeah. The movement is really important with all of it.
Amber: Interesting. So with generational energy, I know you do a lot of moving of that kind of. If someone was like, how do I know I have a generational block to money? I love the image of the rock. You mentioned something that I think we could revisit where you're like, if you feel like you keep getting stuck at the same place, like, is there something you would know?
Maren: I see that a lot with money, health issues, just like the normal or relationship issues. When someone's like, I've tried everything and nothing is working and you keep getting pushed down to the same level. So say you got a new job, then you started making more money and then something happens. Like I just got in a car accident.
You have a huge expense that comes up to push you back down to that main level. Now, that could be your money thermostat where you feel comfortable. But if it keeps happening over and over and you have been intentionally and consciously working on it, I would say there's probably a generational belief in there. And I always ask, is this mine? And trust the response that comes. If you want to dig deeper, you can. Like, does this come from my mom's side or my dad's side?
Amber: How do you know? Because I've heard you do this. Like, oh, that's on your mom's side. Like, how do you know which side it is as you're reading it?
Maren: As I was learning, like, how the energy was speaking to me, it's almost like I was learning this language. I would see people, ancestors, that have passed on either on like the right side or the left side of a client. And I remember reaching out to my mentor, like, what does that mean? And she said, ask them. Like, she invited me to like, go ask the ancestors. And so I did. And for me, if I see energy over the client's left shoulder, it comes from the dad's line.
And if it's over the right, it comes from the mom's line. And so now it's just very quick for me to be like, I'm feeling energy pulling me on your left side. So I know it's coming from your dad's side. And then we can dig into that. And we are so interconnected that there is so much generational energy or inherited energy and beliefs that have been passed down to you. So a lot of times, it sometimes surprises me how much I'm like, oh, this is coming from your dad's side. Like, I don't know why it still surprises me, but we're just so interconnected.
And as we work on it for ourselves, it really does loosen it for them too. And so they're there, for the most part, supporting you, trying to help you as well come to the conclusion that like, this isn't yours to carry. Another way I've seen this is like a bowling ball being passed down through the generations. And when you're holding it, it's like this heavy black bowling ball. It's so heavy.
But as soon as you give it back to your ancestor, it turns to light. Like, oh, this isn't mine. I'm going to give it back to the ancestor it belongs to. It turns to light for them. And so when we're willing to let go of things that are ours and not carry them, you're not adding more darkness to someone. You're giving them light, essentially, because you're not trying to carry something for them that they're meant to heal themselves.
Amber: Yeah, that's interesting.
Maren: That's been useful for some of my clients. They're like, I don't want to just give this back to my ancestor.
Amber: It's that heavy dark black bowling ball.
Maren: Yeah. Every time I've seen that, it's been very useful and light. And it's almost like they're already ready to take it back and it just creates more light for them.
Amber: Interesting. What are other things that you've seen that come up a lot for generational money stuff, I mean?
Maren: Other ones are probably like typical energies or belief that you hear. So either judgment of someone that makes so much or doesn't make enough comparison, like I can't make more than what my parents made or more than my siblings. There's something there. If you're a woman or a man, there's often generational energy there, especially for women, where we know like generations in the past, like women weren't able to actually make money and bring that in.
So that can show up at times where someone's like, I just cannot get this money to come to me and I feel guilty almost or shameful about it. There can be some generational beliefs floating in. And then definitely with spirituality or religion and money, I feel like that shows up a lot generationally as well, where I mentioned earlier, like someone thinks like, I can't be spiritual and have money. Like those cannot coexist. Or the money is the root of all evil.
Like that's a very biblical energy in the past that people, I believe, misunderstood how it was written and how it was meant. And so being able to let go of those beliefs and then bring in, we don't characterize money anymore. It's not evil. It can't make me something. And it's just there to like be a tool and amplify and create a bigger container for me to hold more light. Then what? It just shifts the narrative so much.
We can see such a different picture with it instead of thinking it's a scary thing that can control us. It's not meant to control us. Like we're meant to act upon where free agents be able to use it as a tool. And I always say to you, I'm like, if you have like certain money goals or ideas or desires or dreams, I usually see those in your sacral chakra, which is around your reproductive organs, your hips. And that is just where creation is.
And it wants to be created through you. And money is one of the tools. The energy of money is one way to help you create that thing. And so being willing to like lean into that instead of saying like, everyone has that dream or goal. No, that specific amount of money wants to come to you in a certain way.
And so being open to allowing it to come however that way is from the universe can be so powerful. And really, you're shifting generational energy just by opening up to that. It doesn't have to be this big session with me or like this overcoming these big hurdles, right? It can be very simple. And you're probably doing it at times with other things. Now you can just be open to it with money.
Amber: I love that. Yeah. I know a lot of the work that you do is like subtle a lot of time. You know, I think sometimes you probably bump into some obvious big things. A lot of times it's subtle. So maybe you could speak to that.
Maren: I do really feel like I say energy works a tool, coaching is a tool, exercise is a tool, like we have all these tools in life that subtly shift our trajectory. So at this point in time, if we shift just slightly or clear, when I say clear, it means like we're removing that rock out of your system so that light can start flowing. And then you think of that in a stream. If we remove one rock, like initially it's been like we did nothing.
But over time, that's going to make a big difference as the water can kind of move through that space more easily and quickly and maybe even create a bigger canyon for that area for energy to flow through. Yeah, sometimes I'm like, it'd be nice if this was like miraculous every time, but it's not. It's very simple energy that's shifting that is really changing the trajectory of your life. Even if it's just one simple shift, that can change a lot.
Amber: Yeah, I think we want it to be like the one grand thing that fixes it forever, but that's not. Because every day they're adding, well we, I don't mean they, I also, you too. We're always adding new energies and ideas and things get stuck to us and we have to let go of it and stories and we watch the news or we have a traumatic event or you're in a car accident. I mean, this happens and it affects us. So work is ongoing.
Maren: Yeah, that's why coaching, that's energy coach that I do, like it is consistent work. That's why I'm like, if energy work resonates with you, this is a great way to do that, to work through your system consistently, to keep things flowing. And then to expand, we can kind of clean up the big heavy rocks that are in there and then really work on the expansion, which is so much fun. We're not just clearing darkness now, we're like making room for more light.
Amber: Yeah, you guys can't see this if this is a podcast, but Marin's smiling big because that's what she likes to do. Yeah, the expansion, you know, it resonates with me too. Do you see people's systems actually getting bigger energetically as they expand?
Maren: Yeah, I guess I would maybe explain it more as like the aura around someone, it's like expanding out and creating more space. And with that, I also see it as a boundary too. So an energetic boundary where you have a lot more space of safety and light, more playful, rather than having to be so close to things that you're always like hitting up against and fearful and scarcity, all that. Just really expanding out this big field that you can, I don't know, play in as you're progressing in life.
Amber: That is interesting because like I've experienced that. The other day I was telling my coach, I can start to feel people in my field.
Maren: Oh, yeah.
Amber: I think you have this too. I'm like, I think I'm going to sign a client, like I can feel it.
Maren: Yeah.
Amber: It does feel far away, which is kind of interesting. Like it feels like, I don't know, maybe at my boundary or something.
Maren: Yeah, that totally makes sense. And then as they're getting closer and you're probably walking towards them as well, it like comes together, but you can feel them all of that. That's really cool.
Amber: Was there anything that I didn't ask that you were hoping to talk about that I missed?
Maren: I don't think so. That was a fun conversation. I feel like that kind of opens up people to energy work and money and love working on money work. I just feel like it really helps you change your identity. And then when you bring in the generational aspect, like, oh, this isn't all mine.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: I've been working on this for so long. It's not even mine that I need to just give that lovingly back to my ancestors so that I can focus on what is mine. It's like someone that has a broken arm and you're trying to heal your arm for that. You can't do it. It's impossible. You have to say, I don't have the broken arm. I'm going to lovingly give them all the remedies and whatever they need light. And I'm going to notice that I have a very healthy working a functional arm.
Amber: Yeah.
Maren: Yeah. And then you change your identity. You're like, I'm so healthy. I'm functioning. I'm doing great. I'm really good at this. And then that opens up once again to expand your container for more light. So it's all about the light. Bring it in.
Amber: So how would you speak about money? Like if you were going to prescribe the thoughts and words to use about money, how would you encourage people to talk and think about it?
Maren: I would say money is my friend. And really lots of times I'll think about the best friend that I have or even someone that I would imagine and how they would respond to me and work with me and be in my life. And that's how I think like money is my friend. It always wants to support me. It's here to help me expand. It's not tricky. It's simple. It's obvious at times.
It's always coming towards me. So it's not like running away from me. It's coming towards me. It wants to be with me. It is expanding my ideas and growth. Whenever I get a new money goal or like, oh, it'd be so fun to make this. I know that that's money just like planting this creation in me. The money will come, right? But who do I have to become and what am I going to create in the process to receive that money? So yeah, I just love thinking all good thoughts.
Amber: Yeah, all good thoughts.
Maren: Yeah, abundant enough, always available. There's no competition with it. There's enough for all of us.
Amber: So good. Okay, Maren, tell everyone how they can connect with you, how they can book a session. Where do they go?
Maren: Yes, you can go to Instagram. It's @livingawakewithmaren or you can also email me at [email protected].
Amber: I'll make sure that that's linked.
Maren: I also have a website which is livingawakewithmaren.com. So a few different places you can go check me out. I usually respond to DMs and Instagram. So if that's easy for you, you can reach out to me there.
Amber: Yep. Everyone loves working with you. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's funny because like when I thought about bringing you on, I know one of the weird paradoxes of having you on the podcast is that like the gift is different than you talking about the gift.
Maren: Yeah.
Amber: I tried to ask you questions because like experiencing a session with you is different than you talking about it on and off. So encouraging for everyone to go try it themselves. Thank you. You're amazing.
Maren: Thank you so much.
