There are no coincidences in life. None! In this episode of Authentic with Marlowe Leonard, Marlowe welcomes the incredibly gifted Flor Gutierrez. The conversation delves into Flor's unique abilities and the powerful impact she has on others and why she decided to share her gifts.

Flor's story illustrates the challenges and eventual triumphs of recognizing and embracing one's innate abilities. As a child, she experienced her gifts by seeing and communicating with spirit guides and sensing energies around her. However, this natural inclination was met with resistance from her family, particularly her mother, who viewed these abilities through a lens of fear and superstition. Consequently, Flor felt compelled to suppress her gifts, believing they were a curse rather than a blessing. This suppression resulted in years of internal conflict, self-doubt, and emotional turmoil as she struggled to reconcile her experiences with societal expectations.

After marriage and becoming a mother, Flor's decided to embrace her gifts, leading to improved relationships and a deeper understanding of her purpose. She acknowledged that she could no longer fight against her true self. By openly communicating with her spirit guides and setting boundaries for how she wanted to engage with her abilities, she began to transform her life. This acceptance allowed her to reconnect with her intuition, improved relationships, and a deeper understanding of her purpose. In fact, Flor was able to connect with spiritual mentors who could encourage and strengthen her gifts.

Flor's experience serves as a reminder that the path to self-acceptance may be full with obstacles, but the rewards of embracing one's true self can be life-changing. By overcoming fear and societal judgment, everyone can learn to use their gifts to create change everywhere with anyone with a little faith.
