And before I get into her introduction, I just want to say, oh, thank you so much for being loyal listeners. I'm grateful for each and every one of you and I'm grateful for each and every guest I have. So today's guest is Brandy Khan. She is a certified counseling astrologer intuitive medium and a raky master who blends grounded psychological insight

She holds a master's of science degree in psychology with an emphasis in child and adolescent development and is also a certified rapid transformational therapist and RTT practitioner. Her work combines neuroscience, stool healing and intuitive energy work to support both children and adults on their healing journey. Welcome, Brandy. I look forward to diving into this conversation and learning more about your gifts because you do have quite the wide variety of expertise. Oh, thank you. And thank you so much for having me on. I am truly grateful. So we're going to kind of just dive into this and just start, again, a conversation. But tell me, I know what an intuitive medium does. I know what an RTT practitioner does. What does a certified counseling astrologer do? Wow, so when it comes to astrology

2:02and especially when we're using astrology to work one-on-one with clients, what we're looking at is the natal chart. So based on the time you were born, on the exact time you were born, the sun, moon, all of the planets were in a particular location, right? And depending upon where they were stationed in relationship to each other, we come in with a certain set of gifts, abilities, challenges, life, purpose, right? That we focus on. So in a counseling astrology session, I'm taking the client through their natal chart, through their sole blueprint, right? The thing that makes it so, I guess, special is, let's just say that you and I are in Houston, right? And we know that we want to get to LA. But we're not going to use a map. We're not going to use our GPS. Anything like that, we're just going to wing it, okay? So we know we've got a head west, we can figure it out. There will be a lot of wrong turns, dead ends, and it may take us longer to get to our destination, right? Then if we had a map,

3:02so I always have my clients think of the natal chart, their natal chart as their map for life. I turn here, don't go here, focus here, not so much of this, right? So I'm taking the client through basically their map for life. Okay, so the question that popped into my head, I get it, I get that and I understand it. What about someone that doesn't know their time of birth? I mean, I know for my information, I don't know what time I was born. So, because I was adopted, and that was patient unknown. Okay, so there's two ways that we can kind of get through that situation. Number one, they're usually trained astrologers that can help to rectify your chart. So if you, and I'm not one of those, I don't help with rectification, but like if you go to a astrologer who can rectify your chart and figure out it around the time that you were born, you've got to give them certain life events and then they'll line it up with,

4:02okay, I think that you were born probably around this time. Number two, like if you don't have your time of birth, we can still get information from your chart. It just may not be as detailed as far as figuring out which planets are in which houses. We still know which planets are going to be in aspect to each other, which is very important information. So even with just the date of birth, we get a load of info on what you're here to focus on this lifetime. All right, I think that's very helpful. And I believe, and this is just my belief, but if people would listen more to what's intuitive to them, what is to guide them, we would probably live our lives, our journeys would be smoother, not that life is linear and linear. You know, we go through experiences and sometimes we hit brick walls and we cause, but I've learned you can navigate those bumps and bruises and all the things that pop up in our path,

5:05a lot smoother if you have something that's kind of guiding you. I agree. Totally, yes. I am wanting you to share, please. How someone can get in touch with you. You know, they're interested, they're intrigued. You do raky. You do, you are an intuitive medium and you have a psychology degree with an emphasis in child and adolescent development. I bet that's been interesting for you. Yes, it has and I wish I would have had that degree before I started raising my kids because there are so many things I learned on the late end, you know, after going through completing that degree, learning about I'm teen and adolescent development that would have been so valuable years ago, right? But better late than never. But what it has allowed me and enabled me to do is to understand my kids from a deeper level. Like, for example, my 15 year old,

6:07that's the youngest that I have out of four. At that particular age, it's normal for children to want to go through an individuation process. They want to pull away from mom and dad. They want to do things on their own. And it's important for parents not to take it personally, right? So the science and learning about that has really helped me as a mom just to allow, just to relax into it and not try to hold on to tightly. Yeah, I understand that. I mean, my kids are soon to be, oh my gosh, how is 30, 30 and 32? Yeah. I lost track of how old my children are. But, you know, they're in different stages of life. And as a parent, you look at things and you, you know, knowing where they are in life of what your role becomes, you know, as a grandparent, it's not our job to parent them anymore. As a parent, parent, it is our job to be there to support them, but to make them figure out where they're going, what they're doing,

7:08and all those little bumps along the way. Yes, I agree. So please do share how someone can get in touch with you. They're wanting to figure out their path with their own. Oh, yeah, it's or not. Yeah, all they have to do, go to my website. It's brandy with an icon is K-H-A-N. So brandycon.com. And take a look at what I offer. There's not only astrology, but there's also something new that I'm doing for parents who want to use astrology to learn more about their child, to learn more about their child's natal chart, and then how to speak the language that their child speaks. I'm doing that along with coaching parents at the same time. So it's kind of like we're weaving those two together. So on my website at brandycon.com, that's the best way to get in touch with me. We won't make sure all of this is in the show tonight. You know, ladies and gentlemen, you can, if you miss this episode, you can, you know, you can always go back and download it.

8:09So don't panic if, you know, for some reason, you don't hear the live episode. It's still there. And we will have all her information and you can get in touch with her. My intuition says that you know what you're talking about. This isn't your first go around with stuff. And you're also an RTT practitioner, which I know RTT goes back and helps people in a few sessions. Clear those past things that keep us stuck. RTT is actually, I would say, one of the most, I think, when I first, before I ever trained in RTT, and I was researching it, and I was listening to some of Marissa, Marissa appears the one who developed it. I was listening to some of her hypnosis tracks. It absolutely changed my life. Like absolutely changed my life. Like rewired my thinking, rewired some limiting and restrictive beliefs. And from that point on, I'm like, oh my gosh,

9:09I've got to share this with other people. I've got to do this with other people. So the beautiful thing about what I do, and none of this was planned or mapped out, it just kind of came together in a beautiful way. I take a client through their natal chart. In the natal chart, we may see life issues that they're dealing with. Perhaps there are limiting beliefs around money. Perhaps there are limiting beliefs around relationships and whether or not someone really deserves to be treated with respect and love, right? Oh, after we figure that out with the natal chart and the client confirms, yes, this is something that I struggle with. It didn't feel good to just send the client on their way and say, okay, well, good luck to you. You've got those issues. I'll never see you again. That didn't feel right. So now what I do, I offer at the end of the natal chart sessions, I know you've got this issue. I know you've got these limiting beliefs around money or deserving love.

10:09Why don't we do an RTT session? I'll take you through that. Let's regress, find out where you picked up these beliefs. And at the end, I send you a recording of a hypnosis that you listen to at least once a day for the next 21 days. And there's a huge difference by the end of that time period. Yes. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take a short break. We'll be right back and stay tuned. If your stomach sounds like a haunted house and your bathroom trips require a prayer, we need to talk. You, my friend, might be digestively doomed. Floated like a parade balloon, constipated and clenching your belly like a toddler who's lost their mom at Walmart. Where are you sprinting to the bathroom so often that your toilet seat has started a long-distance relationship with your butt? Good news. You don't have to suffer in silent smelly agony. Ignoring digestive problems doesn't just stink. Literally, it makes you sluggish, cranky, and desperate for stretchy pants. But to be serious for a second, it could lead to major issues, even disease.

11:11A happy gut means a healthy body that generates more energy, has higher metabolism, better focus, and the confidence to wear real jeans again, ready to go from bathroom hostage to digestive freedom, download, crappy to happy guts. Four simple ways to supercharge your digestion at happyguts.info. Now, your gut is calling, and no, it is not a butt dial. Go to happyguts.info. Now, welcome back to a wakein' home. Again, I have Brandy Con here, and she is a certified counseling stroller. As I was telling Brandy, we have some many hoonies, and things are just acting really weird today. But we're gonna go with the flow. So I also was reading that you are at level 13, archery and healing practitioner. What is that exactly? Yeah, so maybe some of the listeners that have heard of the archoreans,

12:13a lot of people have not. A lot more people I find have heard of the Pleiadians, okay? So these are beings from other star systems that are associated with other star systems, such as the Pleiadians, right? We've also heard of the Syrians that are associated with Syrians, and the archoreans are linked to archtourists, okay? And the archoreans carry a certain frequency, and one of the things that they're really good at is healing. So with this particular healing modality, it's tapping into the frequency and using it for healing. Ah, okay. Yeah, like I was telling you over the break, I firmly do believe if more people would tap into their path, I mean, they're understanding, we all came into this world, this is a body with a purpose. We don't always understand it, sometimes it takes us decades,

13:13but if we could learn to tap into an understand from the beginning, we'd navigate us a lot better. Whether it's healing like you're just kind of bounding about. I mean, I know for many years, I felt like I was just bounding about, I was like, what in the world is my bride? Right, right, right. Wow, I think that's a part of the process for a lot of people. Is it you're right? And sometimes it takes, for some people, it takes years, when we're ready, as they say, when the students ready, the teacher will show up. That's your feet. Yeah, that's right. You know, I was thinking, you were talking about, you wish you'd had your psychology classes and your understanding of child and adolescence before you had kids, but one of the things that was popping into my head was, it makes you a better therapist practitioner if you have walked through things that people are going through. And you know, because you can say,

14:15you know, I have been in similar shoes. It doesn't mean that you're going to be the exact same shoes, but you're in similar shoes and it gives you a frame of reference, or at least I believe it gives you a frame of reference to look at things and go, yeah, I may not have approached that when I was younger or before I had, you know, when I was going through child rearing. I mean, when you don't, when you don't know, you don't know exactly. You can always, you know, change the patterns for your kids. Right. And establish new ones and show them a different way of parenting. Wow. And you know, something else that's also important since you bring that up and that was a magnificent point, going through something and then helping others going through the same thing, that also gives you as a practitioner a sense of compassion and empathy. So if I've been there and I remember what it was like to be there and I remember what it was like to struggle with it, I'm going to be a lot less likely to judge you, you know,

15:18to sit in judgment of you and to think, oh, how could she? That's just horrible. I've been there myself. So it almost in a way allows you to approach your client with a sense of, I really get it. I understand you. Let me try to help you navigate through this, but from a place of genuine consideration and concern instead of judgment. The majority of us, we just want to be seen in her. Yeah, we want somebody to understand. We don't necessarily need somebody. I mean, I do know from a therapist perspective, it does help connect with somebody if you say, I have been in similar shoes. Not that you've walked in exact shoes, but you've been, you've gone through experiences that many would just kind of go, I don't think I could handle that. And I'm like, you be surprised what you think you can handle and what you do handle. Right. You're walking through that fire. Wow. No, I mean, I, I, I know I understand that thought,

16:21you know, I wish I'd known some of this stuff I knew when my kids were younger. However, I'm learning now. And I'm like, my roles are different. And I'm, it's been an experience because I have found you take a different approach when your, when your kids, whether they're in college or teenagers versus our roles are different. And we as parents just have to learn to identify what role you win. Right, exactly. And I love the fact that you can help parents guide them, you know, because the adolescent stage, oh my. Yeah. Yes. And the teenage stage, I was like, I remember when my kids were, especially my oldest when he was a teenager, I called it the possessed by alien stage, because I'm like, I don't know who's physically in front of me I recognize. But what comes out of your mouth? And only, you know, that is, you know, I survived it.

17:22And my kids turned out, wow, by sometimes by the, just a hair. I think that one of the things that I wish I would have understood the most when my kids were teenagers that I didn't understand until after my, after my training is that the prefrontal cortex, front part of the brain that's involved in good decision making and reason and logic, you know, and thinking objectively, right? It's not fully developed in adolescence and teenagers. It, you know, it probably fully comes online around our mid 20s, 24, 25. So a lot of times, you know, I remember thinking, you know, my 11 or 12 year old, fully knew what they were doing, you know, and they knew the ramifications. And that's not true at all in any way whatsoever. I think that was the most important thing that I learned is a lot of times our kids are trying to feel things out and they are meant to make mistakes

18:22and they're meant to have the bumps in the bruises and the hard knocks and they're not fully able to comprehend things the way that we as adults do. Oh, yeah, that's part of the reason why, you know, our insurance rates, especially for males, doesn't go down until about 25. And even then, sometimes I've seen somewhere between 25 and 30 for some males, you fully engage the prefrontal cortex and versus the amygdala, which, right, right, is if you understand the psychology of the brain, your amygdala is a size of a pea and it is in the back of our brain stem. And for the longest time and for a while, that is what controls us. We make decisions based off of our amygdala and it's like, okay, you know, I mean, I look at kids these days and I'm like, okay, you know, and I mean, for a while with my oldest, I was like, oh, if he survives college, that's gonna be a good thing, you know,

19:23because he makes some decision to do stuff on the one. Yeah. Alrighty then. And that's hard to watch as a parent. Right. It is your instinct is to try to fix it and make it better, right? And make them go a path that you want them to go, but that doesn't teach them. Like you said, that they've got to learn those bumps and bruises, they've got to figure that out because if we're fixing it for them, we're doing them a great to serve us. Right, yes. So we're gonna take a short break, we'll be back and we'll continue with this amazing conversation. Hi, this is Sophie Zollman.

21:25Again, I have Brandy Conte here and we have been having a conversation about her incredible gifts as a certified counseling astrologer intuitive medium and a rakey master. Okay, we've talked about your astrology and how you map from one's birth charts. Intuitive medium, I'm guessing flows in with the birth charts. Actually, it's a little bit different. Let's go into that. Yeah, so like with astrology, it's very left-brained. Like you're looking at planets, at degrees, at certain angles, whereas like the intuitive work takes more of the right side of the brain. So and all of that came before I even learned about astrology. So with my intuitive development, I'm really tapping into someone's energy and their energetic field and saying, hey, this is what I'm feeling sensing, seeing, does it make sense to you? Are you going through this or are you experiencing this?

22:26So that's more of the intuitive work. Wow, okay, that's quite a, you have quite the repertoire of gifts that you work with and you know, tools that you have that you can help guide someone. And on top of you, you do rakey, which is also everything started with rakey. Everything started with rakey. So I would say I went through my dark night of the soul, my mid-delay 20s, right? Where I was really searching, what am I supposed to do? What's my purpose? You know, what's going on here? And up pops, oh, rakey teacher in Houston who's offering a class. And I'd studied with her and decided to go all the way through rakey master. So it was with rakey. That's where that was the modality that really sensitized me to energy. It really taught me what does energy feel like? It also made me just more sensitive to energy in general, other people's energy, my energy. So everything started with rakey.

23:27And from rakey, it was almost naturally as if like my intuitive development just opened up. My intuition got stronger and then the mediumship and then astrology came a little bit later. But rakey was the first step for me. OK, well, I've participated in rakey. And I know rakey does heal. I mean, it is a very good healing modality. And being an intuitive medium, I can understand that. I mean, I can sense people's energy and keep walking through them and you're like, oh, OK. It is some you walk into and you go, wow. And other ones, you can feel that positive energy. So I love it. You have quite, like I said, quite the repertoire of different modalities that you can work with. And you truly are gifted in the ability to support people and help them. And none of this was, I'd love to say I had a master plan to bring all of these together.

24:28This didn't happen that way. It was almost almost like everything fell into play. So whatever a client needs, however I can serve, I'm happy to serve. And I can imagine, especially with your intuitive skills, you can sense what someone is identified before they really say too much about what is needed. Sometimes it's just talking. Sometimes it's healing with rakey. Sometimes it's figuring out their birth charts. We're just listening to where they are as a parent. I mean, parenting is, I told my oldest, I said, I wish I could hand you a guidebook on how to be a good parent. Yeah, yeah. I mean, when I was a young parent, I did the best that I could. It wasn't always good. Sometimes it was crappy, you know, to be told. I didn't do. I replicated what I saw from my parents.

25:29And if you don't identify that, oh, what you're being shown is not necessarily something you want to continue passing down. Exactly. Me and my husband were just having that same conversation this morning. Yes, exactly. But I do truly believe that everything we go through leads us to where we are today, and positions us to be the people that we are, the person we're meant to be, put us on the path that we're supposed to be on. We all have our gifts. We all have our talents. Some of them use our talents. Other ones, you know, they come into it later. And some I have seen don't tap into it at all until right. But I love the fact that you support people and you help people whether they're children or adults on that path to healing. Well, thank you. So if you were to share with the listeners, what would you, one word of wisdom or sage advice?

26:32What would you offer someone? As we're heading into the new year, into 2026, knowing the energy that's going to be at play, the phrase that I would give the listeners as advice is make your dreams come true. So 2026 is the year of action. We've got Neptune and Saturn moving into Aries, the sign of action, taking action. So everything that we've been dreaming about over the last several years, it's time to make it happen. Wow. I like that, you know, because 2026 is your change. And for each of us, I think it's just tapping into where we are. And right, you know, a lot of us, at least I'm speaking for myself, it's important to not resist that change. Because I think when we start resisting what's coming up, we put up all types of roadblocks and things that we shouldn't. I agree, yes. Yeah, 2026, yeah, it's going to be a big year of change.

27:35And the change may not feel the best at times, but I want everybody to remember that it's all for a good reason. We're all letting somewhere ultimately that's positive. And it's just time to really step into your power. So for those parents that are looking at their kids or their toddlers or whatever age and going, oh my gosh, how do I navigate this? I mean, you know, they need support. I encourage anybody that needs support, whether they're not kids or don't have kids, you don't have to have kids, but reach out to Brandy and get on a good path. Find your way forward. Because, you know, as I've always said, healing and learning and life is not linear. As much as we want it to be, we think, oh, we're going to get on this path and it's going to go straight. And it sends you on a switchback or up and down hills and valleys and you're like, wait, where did this come from?

28:37But I think if you have your tools and you have someone that can kind of, I get the sense that you help people, but you're also given that you hold that space for them to continue on that path and not feel like, oh my gosh, I'm on a path. Brandy put me on a path and what do I do now? Right. Exactly. You know, I encourage you reach out, get support. What, like I said, if you have kids, great, you know, get the understanding because I think it doesn't matter what age your kids are. Our role as parents is constantly changing. It's changing is if they're infants, it changes from when they're toddlers, it changes when they're young, older toddlers, little older kids, or not that pre-adolescence and adolescence in the teenage years. Oh, my, you know, teenage years can tax any parent and you look at yourself and you kind of go, oh, my gonna navigate this.

29:39Yes. And to know that you don't have to do that alone, you have people like Brandy who has, she has walked in similar shoes. She knows what she's talking about. She can intuitively guide you without you really understanding or knowing what it is that you need. And if you need healing, she can help you with RTC. She can help you relieve release limiting beliefs. We all have them. We learned them when we were kids and unless you question them or someone says, you know, that limiting, that belief is not so good. We keep replicating them. Right. So any final words before we conclude our conversation that you would love the listeners to know or you want to share in as far as your expertise goes? Yeah, but I think the final word of advice that I'll give is just for everyone to look into their natal chart.

30:40If you understand your natal chart, you understand yourself at such a deep level and then you're able to have compassion for the way that you are instead of feeling like you should be different than the way that you are expressing yourself here today. So everyone look into your natal chart, look into what's there and learn more about who you're meant to be. Hmm. Such sage advice because we all have, we all came into this world where we show up a certain way. Now certain things can be changed. We can modify certain behaviors and beliefs based off of the beliefs we have. You know, when it push comes to shove, we're going to show up who we are and it's not about sitting ourselves in a box or allowing somebody else to push you in a box and say, oh, well, you'll be accepted if you're like this. Well, that's not who most of us are. You know, you'll be able to be you if it's, if you're one that likes to be quiet

31:40and navigate that space of watching, then so be it. If you're someone that needs to be very vocal, so be it, you know, if it's important to just, because what you do, and I firmly believe this, what you do, we tend to pass to our kids. So if you are struggling and you need help or you know somebody that needs help, I highly, highly, highly recommend you reach out to Brandy. She will guide you and again, my intuitive sense is, she knows what she's talking about. She's not going to lead you astray and she's going to help you figure out the role in the path you need to know for being a parent, a good parent, and instilling good, good beliefs in your own children, changing some of the beliefs that maybe we passed down that we didn't intend to pass down, but nonetheless, it happened. So thank you. Brandy, I am so honored that you came on the show. I hope you will come again and share your expertise. I would love that.

32:40Ladies and gentlemen, listen, if this resonates with you, then share it. And if someone's popping into your head, which many of us do have someone that pops into our head and go, why is this popping in? They need to hear this episode or they may need no somebody that needs to hear this episode. So share it, download it, you got it, and reach out to Brandy. You will not go. She will not lead you astray and you will not out there going, oh my gosh, what's my purpose? Because we all have one. And if you want to live the best life that you can live during this earthly journey, your aunt, then you begin to learn what it is that guides you, what it is that makes you tick, because it's all in our birth chart. And that's, I'm still learning a lot. I don't know everything in my birth chart that I'm still learning a lot. And I do find it super intriguing. So thank you again, Brandy, for your wisdom. Thank you for having me. You're truly an amazing guest.
