## Resource

Today I share something I've been sitting with after a really interesting experience with two pieces of tourmaline. I talk about how I asked the universe to give them consciousness, what happened when I held them, and how I used them on my cats with results I wasn't expecting. I also get into my belief that consciousness can inhabit anything — stones, water, natural materials — and what that means for how we interact with the world around us. I share some thoughts on a TikTok video I came across that validated something I've been talking about on this podcast for a while, and I have some feelings about that. I give an update on work at the restaurant, share some exciting news about a potential new web development client that came through a connection at my job, and talk through a very real and very specific dilemma I have about meeting him for the first time. I also share where I'm at with interviews going forward and get into my frustrations with TikTok and Apple and what I think is actually going on behind the scenes with both. A lot covered in a short episode today. Links: https://shoplyndseysmith.io/ https://devlyndseysmith.io/index https://lyndseysmith.io/
