Speaker 1 (00:00:00) - I can do what the boys are doing. I can go get qualified and be earning what they are. And then my manager said, oh, you can't do that, you're a girl. And then everyone else said, oh, you can't do that. You're a woman. Don't be silly. Just stay in the office on the computer. So I said, you know what? Because all of you guys have said that and because I want to do it, I'm going to do it. Hahahahaha! Yeah, now I am more qualified than my old manager actually. So yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:00:26) - Welcome to the Sparky Life podcast. I'm your host, Lia Lamela, and here we create the spark in our lives. Join me on this electrical journey where I highlight skilled trade tales and construction career opportunities. With those I've met along the way. I've had the pleasure of watching your Instagram and reels and getting tons of wonderful information and fun photos on electrical. You've been in the electrical industry for how long?

Speaker 1 (00:01:02) - Um, about nine, nine years now.

Speaker 2 (00:01:04) - Nine years. Wow. Almost a decade. Amazing, I love it. And how did you step into the electrical world?

Speaker 1 (00:01:14) - So I started off working, um, as an admin for an electrical firm. And slowly, slowly, I worked my way up to a point where I thought, you know what? I can do what the boys are doing. I can go get qualified and be earning what they are. And then my manager said, oh, you can't do that. You're a girl. And then everyone else said, oh, you can't do that. You're a woman. Don't be silly. Just stay in the office on the computer. So I said, you know what? Because all of you guys have said that, and because I want to do it, I'm going to do it. Hahahahaha! Yeah, now I am more qualified than my old manager actually. So yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:01:51) - Yes, I love it. I absolutely love it.

Speaker 2 (00:01:55) - I love your hair too by the way.

Speaker 1 (00:01:56) - Oh thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:01:57) - It used to be yellow and now it's blue, but I'm thinking of going back to yellow again, so.

Speaker 2 (00:02:04) - Okay. Wow. That's amazing. So basically everyone was pooing you and you're like haha, haha.

Speaker 1 (00:02:12) - Literally. And then yeah, here I am now.

Speaker 2 (00:02:15) - And you love it. What's your favorite thing about being an electrician?

Speaker 1 (00:02:21) - Oh so many things. I because I genuinely love it. I love every single aspect. I think the thing that I love the most is that is so versatile. With this one set of qualifications I have as an electrician, I can do so many different things. I can be a qualified supervisor, I can work on a new build site, I can do maintenance for old properties, I can do testing, I can do night time work, I can do daytime work. I can do so many different things. With just this one set of qualifications, I can become a teacher, a tutor. Um, that was one path I was looking at, um, at one point as well become an electrical tutor.

Speaker 1 (00:02:59) - So there's so many infinite pathways you can go down as an electrician.

Speaker 2 (00:03:05) - You bring up a great point and I only see this in skilled trades. I don't see this outside of the blue collar field where you become a craftsman or craftsman in a certain category. But then there's these so many different offshoots. Um, you can truly design how you want to live your life, whether you're a morning person or a night person. So you bring up an excellent, excellent point. I hear it takes three days to do the electrical exam in England. Is that correct?

Speaker 1 (00:03:43) - I think that might be referring to the Am two, um, which is like sort of like the cherry on top. So you do your qualification and then the Am two is like an extra three day exam where you are tested on everything, you know, back to back to back to back, and that gives you an extra qualification on top. Um, that gives you a certain advantage. And then with that you can get a gold card, which allows you to work on building sites like big building sites.

Speaker 1 (00:04:16) - Um, but a lot of electricians don't go for that myself. Personally, I never ended up going for that because I never needed it for the work I do. Um, but I'm actually thinking about doing it, just like I said, for the cherry on top.

Speaker 2 (00:04:29) - So what primarily do you do? Because, you know, as a fellow Sparky, it's vast electrical. You could do so much. So what do you what's your primary background in?

Speaker 1 (00:04:41) - So a lot of the stuff I have done is domestic. Um, so domestic and within the domestic, um, sector, I've done a lot of social housing and, um, assisted living in, you know, housing associations and things like that, which is basically 50% electrical work, 50% being a psychologist, because.

Speaker 3 (00:05:01) - You.

Speaker 1 (00:05:02) - Literally you have to analyse the, the tenants and, and everything else. So because originally before I became an electrician, I actually wanted to be a psychologist. So I feel like this was the perfect mix because every single tenant I have to kind of scope out what issues they have.

Speaker 1 (00:05:20) - So, you know, some of them have mental health issues. Um, and then I have to figure out their personality based on what they say. And default is. So, you know, I've had a tenant that says, oh, this is the problem I experience with my electrics every day. 3:00 the electrics go off and this and that happens. And then I have to figure out whether they're making it up because they have a mental health issue that's, you know, similar to like schizophrenia. It's not real. Or is this a genuine electrical problem that they have. So having all these kind of things that I have to mix and match as part of the electrical work, that's just been like one of my favorite things. So I think because of that, I've stuck with it for the longest. But in the UK, it's not the best paying electrical thing that you can do. It's actually one of the lowest paid things you can do as an electrician. So I think in between that I've always had like my extra jobs that, you know, get the extra income, such as, um, like private landlords and weekends and call outs and things like that.

Speaker 1 (00:06:17) - But yeah, my main thing I guess, is the the social housing and assisted living stuff that I've been doing.

Speaker 2 (00:06:24) - When you get to do these other projects, is it something that you freelance or do you have have you created a network around it?

Speaker 1 (00:06:34) - Yeah. So, uh, freelance, but we kind of refer to it as self-employed in the UK. Okay. So that basically means freelancing, free styling. So, um, so, yeah, even today, uh, I did a little project of testing. A new build. That was just a disaster. I think they had three electrical companies that came and left, came and left, came and left. But the thing is, I did not know until I showed up. He said, oh, I've just got a flat that needs testing. And, you know, there's one downstairs and one downstairs. When I showed up, he's like, oh, by the way, it's a new build and everyone's abandoned it and it's a disaster. Can you fix it? And I thought, oh God, I've come all the way out here.

Speaker 1 (00:07:21) - You know, I've rescheduled all my work to accommodate this. Um, and I've already taken the deposit as well. So I said, look, okay, let's see what we can do. And I spend I spent about 3 or 4 hours in a two bedroom flat just rectifying a false.

Speaker 3 (00:07:35) - Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:07:36) - Wow.

Speaker 3 (00:07:36) - It was it was awful.

Speaker 1 (00:07:38) - And this is a new build like. And. Literally. It's insane. But. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:07:44) - Who put that thing together?

Speaker 1 (00:07:47) - I'd like to know because. Honestly, it's it's interesting because, um, I said to myself yesterday, so this month, I'm trying to, you know, come back to social media and create content. So I was like, oh, you know, I'd love some really interesting jobs to create content from that one job. I filmed so much content I got in front of the rest of the month. Honestly, every single thing I touch and opened was a different for wow. Who was that bad? It was that.

Speaker 3 (00:08:17) - Bad.

Speaker 2 (00:08:17) - That's incredible.

Speaker 2 (00:08:18) - So blessing in disguise really, because it gave you great teaching opportunities for fellow sparks and great materials. What would you say to women who are interested in getting into skilled trades?

Speaker 1 (00:08:33) - I would very highly recommend it. Um, especially for, you know, um, any young female watching this because I think a lot of schools and colleges and, you know, society, they don't really tell the young girls that actually, this is a whole career path. It's not just for the naughty boys that can't sit still and, you know, send them off to construction and trades courses and stuff. It can actually be for females too. And and it's not just like get dusty and dirt in a hard hat. I think that's like the stereotype where and where boots and I don't I don't wear a hard hat and obviously I wear the boots, but I make it look cute and stylish. I'd like for the girls to know that you won't have to wear a hard hat everyday. That's just one tiny aspect of what you could do.

Speaker 1 (00:09:20) - And then obviously within that, I'd like to let the girls know that look eventually, you know, if you do want to become like a mother and stuff, and it would be really helpful for you to have that freedom to be able to work around your child, because by being an electrician, you will always be needed, and actual jobs will be one of the last ones to be replaced by AI. And it's something that is is an essential, you know, uh, very yeah, it's an essential, uh, piece of work that needs to be carried out. You know, if your electrics are not working or there's a dangerous situation. And, um, like I mentioned before, you can work any time of the day, any day of the week. So with that flexibility as well. And, um, yeah, I feel like I'd like girls to know that there's so.

Speaker 3 (00:10:06) - Much.

Speaker 1 (00:10:06) - In this, um, where you can find yourself as well as there is, like a little clique of girls that, you know, we can kind of team up in the trades as well.

Speaker 1 (00:10:18) - So if you do want that, that is that there, you know, all the girls will meet up and we organize all these group chats and we've, you know, the girl banter and, and this and stuff. So it can be really like cute as well.

Speaker 2 (00:10:32) - Yeah, absolutely. I feel like I've had wonderful experiences with female camaraderie within skill trades that I didn't have the opportunity to experience growing up. Yeah, even on a varsity swimming team, I didn't feel sisterhood the way that I feel with skilled trades women.

Speaker 3 (00:10:54) - Um, were you.

Speaker 2 (00:10:56) - In any kind of sports growing up? Did you have any kind of groups?

Speaker 1 (00:11:01) - No. So I was so I, I really resonate with you there because myself, when I was growing up, I was like, um, a proper boys girl. I was like, you know, running around and climbing trees and a proper tomboy, like we call it. Um, so I didn't really have, like, a girls girls group, and I never really understood what I was missing out on.

Speaker 1 (00:11:21) - So until I became a trades woman in the man dominated industry. Um, that's when I found, you know, like this little click of girls. And then now I've kind of realized that it's actually such a, um, it's such a different and unique thing that only like another female that, you know, joins a female clique would really understand. Obviously, a man would never really understand what it's like, but, um, yeah, it's just, um, I really appreciate it because it's not something I had grown up. I've got no sisters doing to have any aunties. Nothing. So yeah, it's very nice to see all the girls, you know, just rooting for each other and helping each other out. So every time, you know, we've got like an electrical question and sort of asking one of the guys that'll make us feel like. So, oh, were you asking that for that? Silly. We ask each other and we help each other out. And that sisterhood that I never had growing up as a teenager or even now as an adult.

Speaker 1 (00:12:10) - Like I get it through being a trans woman, which which sounds bizarre, like. Yes, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (00:12:18) - Yeah, I, I totally get it. And you had on something very special when you said you didn't know what you're missing. I didn't know what I was missing. So I talk about this, uh, with one of my past guests, Brenda Albury, who talks about gender bias and as our society has gotten so far away from where women culturally were meant to be, we're meant to be in communal groups. Women are supposed to be tribes supposed to support one another. We're good at it. We collaborate well with one another, and we're good at nurturing and taking on other tasks. And and. You know, group of lionesses, right? We're badass. But.

Speaker 3 (00:13:03) - But it's.

Speaker 2 (00:13:04) - Like today's society doesn't really nurture that.

Speaker 1 (00:13:08) - Because of this separation and like this integration between it.

Speaker 2 (00:13:13) - Yeah. And kind of pinning girls against one another. I don't know if you've ever experienced this.

Speaker 3 (00:13:18) - Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 2 (00:13:19) - When I went on site, if I was the one girl there and there was maybe one other female, they'd make comments like, oh, that's not how Amanda does it, or trying to get us.

Speaker 3 (00:13:30) - To compete.

Speaker 2 (00:13:31) - With one.

Speaker 3 (00:13:32) - Another.

Speaker 1 (00:13:33) - I've had that as well, definitely. Where, you know, you feel like there's some sort of like there isn't enough space for more than one woman. It feels like that. But there's more than enough space. And I can't wait for more females to join.

Speaker 3 (00:13:46) - Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (00:13:48) - Me too, me too. Absolutely. I think that they're afraid because they know if we band together, we're just going to take over the world.

Speaker 3 (00:13:58) - Yeah. Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (00:13:58) - This brings up? Something quite interesting that happened over the summer. So in the UK we have a wholesaler called Kef and they do this live tool show. So it's a tool fair. They do every two years and it's basically fun and games. So every single um exhibitor that's a brand, they have a stand with the competition.

Speaker 1 (00:14:17) - So you know all the guys are walking around entering the competitions and there's barely any females. There's literally like five that are so and thousands of men. So I ended up just sort of walking around and I thought, look, let the boys just, you know, do the competitions. And then someone said like, oh, why don't you, why don't you just just jump on and try? And I thought, hmm, I don't even think I'll, you know, make it to the leaderboard. And I gave it a go and I came first. Ah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:14:44) - There you go.

Speaker 1 (00:14:45) - And everyone around me was just kind of like, wait. And I was wearing a dress and everything, right, I love it. And, um, they put my name on top of the board, and I stood there, you know, chit chatting to them, telling them like, yeah, I'm actually a qualified electrician. And then I could hear all the guys walking past and no way I'd get onto that.

Speaker 1 (00:15:03) - A girl, she'd probably cheated. She probably did this. And everyone's kind of saying these things in front of me, but they don't know it's me. So then, um, the, you know, um, the girl that's representing the brand, they went, oh, it's her that did it. They looked me up and down with the dress right here. Right. And they kept walking off. So then I entered all the other competitions and I came first in three of them are. And I had the same kind of reaction where the men are like, what a girl first, which probably cheated. She probably she probably did something. And it was hilarious just seeing the men, um, sort of like shatter when a woman was occupying space and doing better than them because, yeah, it was it was quite empowering. It was an empowering feeling. One of them was really good. Um, the guy was on his way to collect the prize because he was so confident he won. On his way there, they said, oh, don't bother.

Speaker 1 (00:15:52) - She just collected a prize back here, right? He carried on walking to collect the prize.

Speaker 3 (00:15:57) - You're kidding.

Speaker 1 (00:15:58) - Seriously, she won it. He's like laughing his head off, saying, yeah, you guys are so funny. And I'm just walking off my little cute dress with the prize. And they didn't believe it and he felt so embarrassed. All his friends were laughing. It was it was hilarious. But just seeing that in real life, because normally I get that in the comments. You know, sometimes on Tik Tok, people are like, oh, get back in the kitchen and this and stuff. But seeing these comments in real life, right. And the people on what they look like, they wouldn't even attempt these things and they wouldn't even make on the leaderboard. And here they are hating and making weird comments about somebody that is trying is actually good at what they're doing. So yeah, I think that might be like another good thing that I'd love for, like young females to know that look, just don't listen to what these people are saying.

Speaker 1 (00:16:39) - They just, you know, they wouldn't even attempt it themselves. And. Yeah, just do you basically.

Speaker 3 (00:16:46) - Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 2 (00:16:47) - I absolutely love that. That's wonderful. That's absolutely wonderful. Congratulations.

Speaker 1 (00:16:54) - Thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:16:56) - Uh, have you ever been on site and had something happen that you just ended up laughing about later on? Like it was something that wasn't supposed to happen that ended up happening, but now you find humorous.

Speaker 1 (00:17:12) - So like, every day on site would be like that. It would just be. So maybe one time that just popped up to my mind. Um, I had an apprentice at the time, and, um, he was so good at what he was doing, so they gave us lots of extra time for him to learn. But he was an absolute genius. He just knew everything he was doing. So we didn't need that extra time. So we would always finish really, really early and we'd have a few hours. So one day I was like, oh, look, we're just going for a little five minute nap.

Speaker 1 (00:17:41) - And, um, you know, and then, you know, we'll get back to work. We totally fell asleep. We woke up like 6:00 at the end of the day. And yeah, the phone was like, ringing off, and we just part of the van. It was just insane. So I've had, like, silly little things like that have happened, but but yeah, it was just, just silly. But, um. So many different things. I think every day. Like there'll be so many scenarios as well, maybe linked to me being a woman, you know, where people make comments or their reactions. Um, I always tell the story of, um, this one time, a man, he just had a baby with his with his wife. And, you know, he's very tired with the newborn. Hasn't slept. And, um, I got there on an emergency call out to fix his electrics. And when I showed up, I knocked on the door, and he kind of open the door, rubbing his eyes, and he's like, oh, hello? Yeah, come in, come in.

Speaker 1 (00:18:31) - And I'm carrying my ladder in my tool bag like this, walking behind him. And he shows me the baby. And I was like, okay, nice baby. He's like, yeah, the baby's been all right. And I was like, oh, okay. Well, congratulations. I was like, what about the fuse box? Where's the fuse box? He went like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I just assumed she was the midwife, that my brain just completely blanked out the ladder and everything. I just assumed she was the midwife I would have. He's like, I'm so sorry about showing my baby. And he went and showed me his fuse box. So hilarious. One that was.

Speaker 2 (00:19:02) - Oh, he must have been so embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (00:19:05) - Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:19:05) - He was just like, I'm so sorry. But for me it's just so normal. I get that on a daily basis. Sometimes, like every other house, are going to get some crazy reaction like that. So for me it's totally normal.

Speaker 1 (00:19:15) - But it's only when I get back home and I'm laying down in bed and go throughout my day. I'm like, that was hilarious. That was just his face was like, wait a minute, I'm so sorry. I didn't see the ladder, I didn't, I just assumed you midwife because you're a girl.

Speaker 3 (00:19:28) - Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:19:28) - You know, midwives, they just carried ladders and tools all the time.

Speaker 3 (00:19:33) - Yeah, just in case.

Speaker 1 (00:19:35) - It's a tall baby.

Speaker 3 (00:19:36) - Yeah. Don't, baby. Oh, man.

Speaker 2 (00:19:41) - Okay, well, you've had a very successful career being a Sparky. What do you think has helped you to reach this stage in your life? What's the number one tool you carry in your tool belt? What's something that you carry with you always that you feel has helped you become so successful?

Speaker 1 (00:20:01) - I think this one's more of like a philosophical, metaphysical, spiritual answer. It's the.

Speaker 3 (00:20:09) - Whole.

Speaker 1 (00:20:10) - Quantum physics Law of attraction mindset thing. So in my mind, the tool that I've kind of created is to treat life like it's a movie and a game.

Speaker 1 (00:20:24) - And I am the director that loves myself so much that I've also made myself as the main star of the show.

Speaker 3 (00:20:31) - But I didn't do the different jobs.

Speaker 1 (00:20:33) - So every evening I kind of sit there, write in the script. I'm like, tomorrow and this week I'm going to have three new clients and they're going to pay me this much, and I'm going to make amazing work and this one, and I'll write the script as a director. And in the morning I wake up as the main character, like, yeah, ready to do the script. And then I'll just kind of live my life as, as if it's a movie. I don't know if you've ever seen The Truman Show.

Speaker 3 (00:20:55) - Yes, I kind.

Speaker 1 (00:20:57) - Of freaking like that where I'm just kind of, like, made myself dilute delusional in a positive way, where I'm so delusional that everything will always go in my favor, that I literally printed business cards for the first time in my life. And I said, look, you know what? Today's the day I'm going to get a new client and I'm going to give out my first of a business card, and I don't have a business card.

Speaker 1 (00:21:18) - And I said, this is going to get me a client. I sat there and I literally sat there for about two hours, and I saw this one guy and I thought, you know what? I think this is him. I went and gave it to him. And guess what? After that first ever business card, I got so much work from him that I worked for him for about six months.

Speaker 3 (00:21:33) - Wow. I didn't need to give.

Speaker 1 (00:21:34) - Out of a business card. And after him, I've never given out another business card. So this is. This is kind of like my main tool. Treat life like it's a big movie game. Don't take it too serious. And if something serious does happen, see it as a movie plot twist. Because who wants to watch a movie that's just sparkles and great stuff? Like you need some, you know, some action and stuff. So yeah, even when a job's going over and I'm like, I can't get this fuse box cover. And it's like crazy.

Speaker 1 (00:22:00) - I'm like, yep, this is going to be a great plot twist. I can't wait to see how this is solved. And yeah, so I think that's like my biggest tool. Just positive delusional mindset to me.

Speaker 3 (00:22:12) - That's fucking.

Speaker 2 (00:22:13) - Brilliant. That's brilliant. I gotta say, one of the best answers I've ever gotten to that question.

Speaker 3 (00:22:19) - I'm using that.

Speaker 2 (00:22:20) - That's incredible I love it, I totally love it.

Speaker 1 (00:22:24) - I'm always like, yep, I can I can do anything, I can do anything. And yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:22:30) - And it kind of works. It works. It definitely.

Speaker 2 (00:22:34) - Works. Yes.

Speaker 3 (00:22:35) - You know, you spend so much.

Speaker 1 (00:22:36) - Time not worrying and it's like, wait, why don't I just be delusional? But in a positive way, you know, because sometimes we're like, oh, I can't do it. I can't do it when you can. So I'm like, whatever I can or can't. Like, is it Carnegie or, or one of these famous guys to say that quote, whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

Speaker 2 (00:22:53) - Mhm. Yes that's true. Yes. Well you brought, you brought up a great topic too about quantum physics. So I don't know if you've had a similar experience. But before I became an electrician I was like oh woo woo energy, you know, nonsense. And then as an electrician I've gotten very involved with quantum physics. I've gotten very involved with energy and electrical theory and how we're all connected and electricity within our bodies, and how these things relate to everything outside of us. And I am so involved with the type of energy you portray and what you would attract.

Speaker 3 (00:23:41) - Were you.

Speaker 2 (00:23:41) - Were you connected to that before your electrical work or during.

Speaker 3 (00:23:45) - Or it was.

Speaker 1 (00:23:46) - I feel like I went through like a similar thing where I started off really interested in these kind of things, and this is why I wanted to become a psychologist. And I was studying philosophy, and I was really into, you know, this universal mystical things. And when I decided to become an electrician, I realized it's basically energy channeled through copper conductors, through a fuse box into a house.

Speaker 1 (00:24:15) - And then I thought, okay, so this is I've got a, um, lightning bolt tattoo here, which symbolizes basically, like you mentioned, electricity is everywhere. It's in my brain. I'm moving my hand because of electricity. My head can stand up if I rub it. Because of static electricity. There is a thunderstorm outside. What is going on? Electricity, magnetic. Everything around. Everywhere is electricity. Neurons, electrons, everything. Electricity. So being an electrician is basically making this mystical electricity that you cannot see anywhere tangible into, like an electrical circuit in your house. So you can plug stuff in and turn on a light. Like I think it's incredible. And I think a lot of the time I. Do try to kind of merge the two together. And I have done this on fault finding a few times. It sounds insane to anyone else, but those that get it. Okay, wait wait.

Speaker 3 (00:25:10) - Wait wait wait wait wait I gotta hear this.

Speaker 2 (00:25:11) - I gotta.

Speaker 3 (00:25:12) - Like, full.

Speaker 2 (00:25:13) - Into this. All right.

Speaker 1 (00:25:15) - So I've gone to jobs before where they're like, oh, it's a fault. You know, we've got a few electricians out and no one can find it. And literally in my head of visualizing, like, look, it's just going to be like, I'll find the fault and I'll get there and I'll just touch it. It's like, I'll just lift up the fuse box, cover and turn it on, and then it turned on. What did you do? And I'm like, I just knew that it would turn out like, this is not even a joke. Like, at first I thought, I'm making it up and it's a coincidence. It happened a few times. So now I genuinely do think there's some kind of something. There was somehow tapped into the quantum physics and just fix these electrical. Things like it's insane. Like, I don't know, it just disappeared. Like all the tests came back clear. Never tripped again after that. And this has happened a few times, but just magical.

Speaker 1 (00:26:05) - So after that, yeah, I had people say, oh, you've got a magical touch. And I'm like, and then you know how I said the positive power of delusion? After that, I kept thinking, yeah, you know what, I'll just go in there. It will just work. And it just kept happening all the time. I'll just go in there and somehow just touch it and it works without me doing anything.

Speaker 2 (00:26:21) - That's amazing. My very first, like, boss, boss, a big, big shot, a big guy, a heavy, one of my favorites. We used to call him the Rain Man because he would, like, go in touch. Something, anything. Just knew what to touch. Didn't have to do a lot in there. Two seconds and all of a sudden it's working. Yeah, yeah, it was wild. It's totally wild, but I. I totally get that now, like before. I'd be like, ah woo woo shit. Like, sure, sure.

Speaker 2 (00:26:55) - You know. Yeah. You just saying it or whatever. But now, because of my experience with electricity and everything that you just so eloquently stated, there's a true connection with our bodies and what we say, what we think, how we move through life and what we're generating.

Speaker 1 (00:27:14) - Even myself. Now I'm just making some new content. And because I've been off from about six months now working minimal part time, literally about 1 or 2 days a week, I've been going for a lot of like life transitions and it's been it's been tough. So for the last two months I barely worked at all, literally about two days a month. Like it's been hard. But I'm back now and I'm really ready. And I thought, okay, how am I going to just build myself up back from nothing? And the thing is, I've done this in the past and it's all been again, normally I wouldn't say this just using manifestation of woo woo powers, but for me it's always work. I've never advertised in my life and I've always had clients non-stop and they just magically find me.

Speaker 1 (00:27:57) - So like I mentioned, this morning's job, the way this guy found me is insane. So I decided to begin of the week that I'm going to start from October the 1st, literally. Well, October 2nd Monday I'm going to start working again. I lost my phone so I don't have any contacts. Um, I changed my phone number, so like, I don't have any contact. Um, and yeah, basically no clients zero everything. And um, I thought, okay, how am I going to do this? So again, tapped into the woo woo powers of the electrical universe. And I said, look, somehow just make something happen. I just need work and clients. So this guy messages me, gets my phone number from I have no idea where on this mobile number that I haven't used for over a year.

Speaker 3 (00:28:44) - Wow.

Speaker 1 (00:28:45) - Hey, do you mind going into this property? Because I'm trying to kick them out, but I just need a survey just to see if they're still in there.

Speaker 1 (00:28:53) - But I'll pay you if they don't answer. And if they do answer, I'll still pay you. So just kind of like what? So basically they just wanted me to knock on the door just to see if they're a home or not, and they'll pay me. So I thought, okay, I'll do it because it's next to my house, so I did I knocked on a picture, so they didn't answer. So I said, look, here's the invoice. Can you pay it when I send the invoice? He said, oh, you're an electrician. And I said, yeah. He said, oh, can you do an electrical figure? That's when I said, okay. That's when I showed up and he said, oh, can you do two more like the one below and the one below? So that's from, I don't know what I was going to do this week. I had no work, nothing planned. But I knew that I'm going to get up to work. So I literally dressed up to go to work and work for me.

Speaker 1 (00:29:34) - So now literally today, I made like basically like half a month's wage in just one day. So it's insane how fast it moves and how fast you can move your life through channeling. So again, um, I think it really depends on whether you believe these things or not, but I feel like I'm not doing anything anyways, so I might as well just believe it and see what happens. So, you know, I love I love you so much Kimmy.

Speaker 2 (00:30:07) - Your Instagram doesn't do you justice. You're wonderful in your content and what you deliver online for sure, but it's nothing like interact with you in real life.

Speaker 3 (00:30:18) - So way better.

Speaker 1 (00:30:19) - Obviously in social media you've just got like a minute. Whereas in real life I'm just like crazy and everything is just crazy and life is great and it's just so.

Speaker 3 (00:30:29) - Oh, and like.

Speaker 1 (00:30:30) - I said, this whole channeling thing and from today I have enough content to last me for the rest of the month. Like, every single box was ticked in a day.

Speaker 1 (00:30:37) - And what do you call that? Magic.

Speaker 3 (00:30:39) - Magic? It's magic.

Speaker 1 (00:30:41) - Electricity is everywhere. You just tap into it, channel it, whether it's in a conduit in your house and copper wires or in your life. And yeah, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (00:30:52) - Alchemy. That's freaking fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you. Thank you so much for being a part of the Spark Life.

Speaker 3 (00:31:00) - Thank you. I had a great time. Pleasure.

Speaker 2 (00:31:03) - Absolute pleasure. This is fantastic.
