C.c.elaine & Intuitive Living (Season 2 | Episode 94)
Intuitive Living
with C.c.elaine
(Season 2 | Episode 94)
[TESSA] Intuitive Living. C.c.elaine is such a delight, and is so soulful She understands dreams and intuition through the hard times. So you should really enjoy this interview.
Our conversation brings me back to my days at The University of Florida with so many Georgian friends and that beautiful southern twang that is so soft and delightful.
It’s a truth. C.c. puts up a truth perceived with a quick insight, almost like intuition that we need to practice having. She started younger, but this teaching of looking at each setback as a way to refine our path and our dreams and what is the universe trying to teach us. And it seems so simple, but those things are the hardest things. I love how she talked about each child, her own adult kids, and how each of them has her own ways to adapt. And I really love her idea of refinement and resetting.

A Crisis and a New Life
[C.c.elaine] My whole life crumbled. I went through a whole life shakeup, and I ended up moving in with my brother to start saving for us to move here to Atlanta. And he helped me take care of my kids. It was the scene of my mom dying and my whole life falling apart. Aside from that, you know, my marriage, I had to give up my business. I lost my home all in the same year. That is such a hard place to be in, to feel all alone.
My hope is that I can help others get to a place of feeling supported and comforted even when they actually are alone in their journeys. And the other big piece is having dreams and purpose. That’s another reason why people feel so much despair is not having any purpose in their lives. And a lot of people don’t know how to find purpose. And that’s another aspect to my intuitive living work, to help people activate their dreams and then to be able to see the signs and clues and guidance from nature and the universe as they move along to achieve their dreams.
