I Just Quit My 18 Year Six-Figure Finance Career Based on Vibration Not Logic
And I'm proving the system works
I quit my job in finance after 18 years last week—not because the numbers made sense, but because the energy did. Here's what I've learned about trusting these signals, and why this approach might be more reliable than the metrics we usually follow.
Often we look for tangible evidence: a surprise check in the mail, a job offer, a pot of gold to give us validation and reassurance that we are moving in the right direction. Those things can happen too, but first and long before any of that, things are happening on an energetic level and if we aren't paying attention, we could miss them.
And if we miss them, we might sink into doubt and convince ourselves we made a mistake then start changing course and interrupting our own flow of blessings.
What Most People Don't Realize
As a professional evidential medium—someone who receives specific, verifiable information from spirit—Reiki Master, Akashic Reader and Intuitive coach, I've discovered that we ALL have access to this guidance, but most of us don't know what to look for or when to listen. Even when we do notice something, we dismiss it and go back to overthinking and stress.
The Ultimate Test of Energy Over Logic
Let me be completely transparent about what I just did: I walked away from an 18-year career and six-figure salary with no backup plan, no severance package, no unemployment benefits, and no savings cushion. I've been living paycheck to paycheck for decades.
By every conventional measure, this should have been financial suicide.
Every spreadsheet said "WAIT." Every financial advisor would have called me reckless. Every logical part of my brain was screaming that I was about to throw my family into uncertainty at the worst possible time.
But here's what I trusted instead: the energetic signals that were so clear, so consistent, and so undeniable that I was willing to bet my entire livelihood—and future—on them.
Intuition didn't whisper—it declared: "There is no better time than now. You have resources you can't see yet. You will be protected. It's going to work out better than you can imagine."
So I made the most illogical decision of my life based purely on frequency and vibration. And within days, the energy brought confirmation that gave me the reassurance and validation I was hoping for. It wasn’t a big cash paycheck. It was a flood of memories.
Energy is Talking To You
Vibration is the movement of energy. Frequency is how fast or slow something vibrates. Everything has its own energetic imprint and from a metaphysical perspective, every thought, emotion, memory, action or intention creates its own energetic imprint that becomes part of the universal field of consciousness.
When things line up, you will see patterns. Those patterns are validation and confirmation—they’re talking to you.
Watch for This Common Experience
In the days after I quit my job, I started noticing something that happens to most people during major transitions—random memories began surfacing from nowhere. We dismiss it as random without realizing that these memories are validation, reassurance, encouragement and insights you can use to guide your life.
I remembered going to A&W for a burger and rootbeer float during summer camp after being taken to the doctor to be treated for swimmer's ear. I was so excited to be outside of camp. Not that I didn't love camp, I did. But when you are at summer camp, going out into the world where there is junk food and sugar and a town is so thrilling. I felt special and was going to have a tale to tell back at the cabin that would make the miserable pain of that swimmers ear worth it.
I also remembered the night in the hospital after delivering my daughter when the calls started to come in to congratulate me and ask her weight and length and what I'd named her and if I was okay. The memory came back like it was current and I was feeling those feelings again. The thrill at entering a new stage of life and the relief of having the pain of labor over.
Later, I had another memory and another. On the surface, these were totally random. Had I been too busy or distracted, I might have missed the pattern. I might have missed the confirmation.
Your Secret Validation System
Here's what I've learned that you can start using today: Instead of dismissing random memories, ask yourself what the pattern is. "What am I supposed to take from this?"
I noticed that each memory came with an emotional signature of feeling free after a period of suffering. It could have been just a night or two of earrache or nine months of pregnancy. (Pregnancy was tough for me). The duration didn't matter and the significance didn't matter. It was that feeling of exhilaration at being relieved of something painful and having something thrilling and fun to look forward to.
These memories weren't rising up by accident. They were rising up because quitting my job put me back into that frequency where these memories were stored. I had just quit a job that was stressful, thankless, and where I felt stuck and unseen so that I could become a full-time medium and writer—roles that make me feel alive and full of love.
My current emotional state was lining up with all the other times I'd been in that same emotional vibration, giving me confirmation that my own vibration truly was rising to this joy state.
A Simple Framework That Works
Here's the process I use for recognizing energetic shifts:
Notice: Pay attention to random memories, thoughts, or experiences arising unexpectedly
Ask: What's the emotional theme connecting these experiences?
Connect: How does this pattern match what's happening in your life right now?
Confirm: Is this the vibration you are wanting?
For me, the feeling of freedom, fun, release, relief and opportunity were exactly the feelings quitting my job should bring. These were positive, high vibration feelings and were being validated by memories of other times I had that feeling. The memories didn’t all have to be big like giving birth. Some were as small and simple as getting a rootbeer float. But they all had that same vibrational imprint of joy, freedom, anticipation and security.
Any time you start having new memories pop up, pay attention. You are shifting frequencies.
Why You Suddenly Stop Running Into Your Ex
You see, when we shift our vibration to a new frequency, other memories, experiences and people who match that frequency start to show up. Similarly, memories, experiences and people who don't match will start to disappear.
You got into a better relationship and barely think of your ex? It's not just that you've healed, you've also shifted. Memories of him just don't thrive in your new frequency. They can't hold.
Memories and thoughts hold an energetic frequency. If you start thinking a lot of the same kinds of thoughts or remembering the same kinds of memories or running into the same kinds of people, that is a clear indication of where your personal vibration is living. If you don't like it, you will know you are changing when those things start to change.
More Validation
In the week since, more validation has shown up. This time it’s more tangible and closer to the kind of validation we want to see immediately.
I’ve started making money in expected and unexpected places.
While I am selling tickets to events and have clients booking appointments, the pace is still not enough to sustain me financially. I’ve been doing this work part time and have not noticed an immediate uptick in appointments. If I hadn’t noticed my vibration shifting, I may have gotten worried and started to advertise from lack. I might have slipped into doubt. “The universe said it had my back but how will I pay my bills?”
I knew things were working out and I wasn’t going only on faith, I was seeing the signs, so I stayed in this higher frequency, trusting the process. Had I not noticed the shift in vibration, I might have panicked and moved back into doubt, fear, effort and exertion. All of which would have blocked what was coming for me.
Next, a friend asked me to house sit for her. She would pay me. Here was the money in unexpected places. Not only am I house sitting, but I’m maintaining her pool.
I’m literally getting paid to sleep in her house, eat her food that would have gone bad anyway, hang out with her dog and lounge by the pool. I’m not stressed about the future, I’m being given rest, fun, and ease. All things I asked for.
On top of that, my book, “Not Your Mother’s Mystic” is still a bestseller in two categories, an Amazon Hot New Release, and consistently getting five star reviews from readers. In fact, I have almost thirty, five-star reviews in less than a month. This is unheard of for a self-published author.
These patterns are validation - unexpected money, rest, and recognition all matching the frequency of 'you will be protected, you have resources and it will work out better than you imagine.’
The signs are everywhere.
If these subjects interest you, or if you like raw, honest writing, you will love “Not Your Mother’s Mystic” available now on amazon.
