Below is a transcript of the video podcast created by Seb’s Robot buddy, Zekton. He tends to make mistakes so please forgive him if you find errors or some funky sounding sentences. For the real deal, watch the video or click on your favorite audio Podcast platform above! Enjoy!

Sebastian Naum:
What’s up fam today I had on Valerie Maya. She is the CEO and founder of spray valley. A business that innovates the way people are spray tanned while ensuring their clients feel more confident. Val, however is also an intuitive, energetic healer. In fact, this is her true calling and something that she discovered by operating her conscious business spray Vale. She can see where a soul is at, where it wants to Sebasgo and what is blocking it from getting there. She mixes the spiritual with practical. So everything feels tangible, bringing the power back into your hands to have you like go of all limitations that are stopping you from fully accessing all of your life. I honestly had a great time interviewing Val. She’s such a unique soul that discovers her path through a conscious business. And this is actually the opposite of how most people experience it or view it where it starts with finding soul purpose first and then business. So really an epic and fun and unique interview. I hope you’ll love it as much as I did. What’s up Val, welcome to the show.

Valerie Mya:
Thank you. Nice to see you.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah, I’m excited. It’s been a few months since I took a little break on the, the pod. So I’m stoked to be back on the mic asking questions and I’m excited to have you back with me.

Valerie Mya:
Thank you. I’m so glad to, to be one of, you know, when you’re getting back onto it.

Sebastian Naum:
Oh yeah. Val, one of the first questions I asked people on the show is when was your last, oh, moment. What’s the first thing that comes to mind. That could be good. It could be bad. Anything last like, oh.

Valerie Mya:
Oh, good question. Um, I would say recently I’ve I’m I mean, we’ve talked about this. I look at the world as like a formula and right now there’s a formula I’m trying to figure out. And I literally am walking around being like, oh. Oh. I cannot figure this out. Like trying to piece together a, uh, a puzzle with a block in my life.

Sebastian Naum:
Hmm. I see you like, uh, like the people like trying to figure out like the theory of everything, like quantum physics, you know, like you’re that person.

Valerie Mya:
Yes. That’s what goes on in my brain. All these like shapes, colors, numbers.

Sebastian Naum:
No

Valerie Mya:
Figure it out. I’m like, what am I missing?

Sebastian Naum:
Oh, wow. Well, I’m excited to talk about that. So today we’re gonna talk about your, uh, mobile spray tanning business and its conscious business aspects, because we always talk about some form of conscious business on this show, but we’re gonna talk about your unique skills of energy healing and your power, see things and sense spirits and all this epic that I love.

Valerie Mya:

Sebastian Naum:
Sounds like so much fun. So let’s just start out with that, that fun stuff. You self-described yourself. Uh, when we talked about a month ago as like the most non-spiritual spiritual person, what does that mean to you?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Um, I guess the best way to put it is that I found my spirituality or stepped into all my spiritual gifts. I think in a non, like, I didn’t meditate. I wasn’t doing like the yoga. I like sound baths. Like anything that I would say like is on the market for the majority of spiritual practices. That was not the way I went. I don’t get pulled to do that stuff that often. I mean, every once in a while I’ll do yoga. But, um, and not that any of it’s bad, it’s just, I was never pulled. That was not the thing that transitioned me into who I am and what I do. Um, it’s more, I think, mathematical and, and formulations in my mind. Um, so I don’t know when people are like, oh, did you go to this like spiritual place in blah, blah, blah. I’m like, Nope. Haven’t so it’s just like, I, everyone assumes I do these things that I don’t do, I guess the best

Sebastian Naum:
Way it, yeah, yeah. I totally get it. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. So what in the world are you actually doing? what, what are these, what are these things that you’re doing? Um, or we can start back to like, what was it like that, you know, sort of did take you on this path of energy healing?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. I mean like most people, something in my life kind of was thrown me through for a loop and then I went and saw a healer and he was like, you know, you’re supposed to be doing what I do. And I’m like, and then everything kind of clicked. And, and I was like, yeah, I think he’s right. And I, I went on the, this journey of turning on all of my gifts. So all of my intuitive gifts, which we have so many of those, so I strengthen those. And then it was just a matter of finding whatever limited beliefs that were in my head and breaking them, like every single limited belief, anything that was restrictive. And I slowly went through the process of like really and doing all those. And that was not an easy process because the first few of them were like, yeah, great, yay. Feel amazing. And then the next one you’re like, okay, this is a bit harder. Okay. And then you go then, and you’re like, what did I get myself into

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
What am I doing? So it was just more so of like integrating, uh, really looking to using my own intuition, to like pull out the limited beliefs that were going on in my head.

Sebastian Naum:
Right on. And what, so what did that, um, turn into? What, what did that, what came from that?

Valerie Mya:
Finding my true self, the person who entered this earth before I got programmed

Sebastian Naum:
And who is that true self

Valerie Mya:
Great question. Um, it’s, it’s everything, uh, that has nothing to do with the physical, the like, I’m, it doesn’t have to do with what I do for a living. It doesn’t have to do with who I hang out with. It’s who I am truly at the core, without being the physical, the physical is a playground in my mind, this is we’re here to play, learn, grow, evolve, and become who we are meant to be, but who we are, our true selves. That’s like untouchable. So reconnecting to that part of me. And I’m very, I love that version of me. So like I use that to dictate what I’m gonna do.

Sebastian Naum:
I love that is, um, you hear a lot of people say that your true self at the core of everything is love mm-hmm and are we all the same true self at the core? Are we all a little different?

Valerie Mya:
That’s that’s a good question. You know, we all, we all have everything the same. It’s just a matter of before we come into this lifetime, our souls decide which parts of us are gonna be played more. So we are all, I, I say this li I say this all the time, but we’re all like lovers, we’re all, all killers. We’re all, we’re all everything we have every attribute within us. It’s just deciding which ones are gonna be played at what time and which ones do we need or emphasis on for our sole purpose.

Sebastian Naum:
Hmm.

Valerie Mya:
So we are all one, but we’re placed in different places.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. Yeah. Um, you were telling me that you are able to look at the world, like, like a cake, you kind of break out ingredients. Yeah. So what, what, what are you actually doing in seeing? So when you’re doing, when you’re doing your en energy healings, or you’re doing a reading, um, and you’re helping somebody break this down for their own life, what are you seeing and how are you seeing it?

Valerie Mya:
Uh, yeah. I’ll try to make it as simple as possible. Um, I’m actually putting together a live show so I can actually show the visuals, cuz it’s hard to describe. Nice. But uh, I look at the world like in layers. So if you see an object in front of you, I see layers within it. Like if you were to break it apart. And so what I do is I go into the energy, like my energy kind of swims into it and then the layers break apart cuz I pull it apart. And then my intuition goes to what layer of the information I need to get to get the answer. So if I’m asking an intuitive question, which you can ask a bazillion different questions and the energy kind of goes and finds it, that’s one form of it. Sometimes I channel information. Um, but what I’m seeing is layers and it kind of looks like an accordion, I guess, or like, you know, the best way to put is like your aura, you know how those layers yeah. It’s like that.

Sebastian Naum:
So do you actually see the aura though? Do you see like the colors? Oh yeah. The layers are in different colors.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. I see. I can, I can make it black and white. If that’s all, I need to see like information and written. But if I wanna see color, I can see color. I just have to like tell myself to see it.

Sebastian Naum:
Do these colors behind me, mess up with the colors and the layers around me right now.

Valerie Mya:
Um, no, but it’s funny because if you see my house and what I wear, it’s all white gray, black cream. Like I can’t have color in my space. Yeah. It’s all color up here.

Sebastian Naum:
Ah, man,

Valerie Mya:
That doesn’t mess it up. It’s Yeah,

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah, yeah. You, you also had mentioned when we chatted last that you use nine different intuitions.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Yeah. We all have them.

Sebastian Naum:
<laugh> nine is like the, like the number.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Um, there was a few other ones that you can like little ones you can dabble in in, but yes. Yeah. Um, we all

Sebastian Naum:
Have order is nine.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. So you have sight and sight means inside, um, sound, taste, smell. So all your senses, um, body like a knowing and everyone has certain stronger ones than others. Yeah. Um, and then, so that’s tied to source is what I call it the highest frequency of energy. So when you’re using your intuition that way with source source can tell you yes, no left right information, but it can’t source. Can’t tell you the future, meaning you can’t predict the future with source sources just like left, right. Go. Yes. No. All of those. So you use those intuitions with source then with your higher self, which is your soul. Um, your higher self has similar intuitions, sight sound, tastes, smell. And he, or she mine, she communicates different than source. So I have to strengthen different ones and she tell me the future. She’s the one that says in five months, we need to, this is gonna happen. So set this up. So you have two different types of intuition source and soul higher self.

Sebastian Naum:
So your higher self is telling you more information about the future mm-hmm <affirmative>, but it I’m assuming it’s not information like, oh, like there’s gonna be a, a car accident on the corner of this street and that street it’s more so like, this is where your soul is meant to go. This is how you should go to it. Or how does that work?

Valerie Mya:
Um, no, you can actually predict stuff like within the pandemic I was predicting like what was gonna happen when, at what time? Over the last two years. So sh you can ask your higher self, any future question.

Sebastian Naum:
Oh yeah. This is getting funny. Oh, so wait. So when do we stop? When <laugh>, when is the, when is this gonna be over?

Valerie Mya:
I just said, I said this months ago, February and March is when things were gonna hit the fan and in game more. And this is what we’re about to experience all that kind stuff

Sebastian Naum:
That is gonna get. What, what, what is your

Valerie Mya:
Sides are hitting each other at this point? We’re we we’ve gotten there was gonna be an explosive moment and that’s what’s happening.

Sebastian Naum:
Ah, yeah.

Valerie Mya:
For a little bit.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. I, I didn’t hear you say it again. We’re in it for a little bit.

Valerie Mya:
We’re in that stage for a little while.

Sebastian Naum:
Mm. That sounds super fun.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. That’s the danger of like seeing the, the future. You’re like, oh geez, here

Sebastian Naum:
We go. Oh man. What’s the little while, like two months or two years or 20,

Valerie Mya:
Um, eight months on this year.

Sebastian Naum:
Okay. Putting you on the spot eight months. Oh man. I’m writing that down. I’m gonna throw an iPhone reminder on that.

Valerie Mya:
Yes.

Sebastian Naum:
<laugh>.

Valerie Mya:
I will pick up the trick to speeding it up. If everyone on this planet stopped fighting the opposite side, it would disappear. Yeah. So you’re, if you’re on one side, get on both sides because it’s, that’s how we get away a lot faster.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s wild. Yeah. You know, I was recently in Mexico and I was seen, I was seen about a shaman <laugh> things you do in Mexico <laugh> and um, he was sort of, he was talking to me from a, like a Don ancient man calendar type stuff. Um, and he was really describing me in a very different way that I’ve been described, uh, by other people that sort of, you know, do readings and things like that. It was very different. And, um, one of the things about me is that I am like super hypersensitive. So I have a hyper sensitivity on all my se all my, so everything, um, like hits me harder. I feel things stronger. Right. I’m extremely empathetic. I feel the suffering of others. And then I also have, he was like, you’re, you know, this like double double-headed snake. He’s like, you also have this strong individuality. We can kind of go on your own path and just kind of put it all to the side and behind. So he’s a, like, it’s kind of a strong power because otherwise you’re just completely entrenched in this feeling, what, everything, you know, everyone else is doing. Right. So I’m, I’m actually beginning to try to tap into my I’ve had a strong intuition my whole life, but I’m trying to tap into it to start using it more at right. To, to my advantage and as a skill. And exactly.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah.
Sebastian Naum:
I wanted to ask you something. So sometimes I get this sort of intuitive information that there’s like sort of like a bad vibe or a bad energy coming from somebody or something. Mm-hmm, , it’s a really difficult to decipher between I’m intuitively feeling a bad vibe from this human or this situation versus fear

Valerie Mya:
Sure.

Sebastian Naum:
Versus fear. And this is just the universe teaching me, you know, a quote, unquote, a lesson, throwing a situation that’s making me uncomfortable. And I must figure out a way to surrender into it or blah, blah, blah, or no, this just, this is danger. Mm-hmm, , it’s very hard to decipher that. Do you have any insight on that?

Valerie Mya:
Um, start tapping on your heart when that happens, because your heart’s gonna tell you if intuitive it’ll be here. If it’s fear it’s in here, you’ll feel the difference. I would start, uh, Trying to connect to where you’re feeling it. Because if it’s here, it’s usually and tap on your heart because that’s where it connects you to your intuition. Tell people when they’re starting to work with their intuition, just do this and it’s gonna make you get into it a lot.

Sebastian Naum:
So if it’s coming, if it’s being so a lot of the times it manifests in the form of anxiety. So it’s like, it’s some form of anxiety where, and it’s for me, the anxiety is always in my body. Mm-hmm, , it’s never in my head. And I always try to explain like, oh, this is because of my head, like my head caused this. But most of the time, if I’m feeling some sort of anxiety or some sort of bad energy or bad vibe, mm-hmm , there was nothing in my head it was like body mm-hmm . I just feel it in my body. And now I’m in my head thinking about it like, oh, what the heck is this?

Valerie Mya:
So anxiety’s interesting because anxiety can be two things. It can either be one you’re feeling too much in the room, which you being Uber, Uber sensitive will overwhelm your body. And the only way I was gonna say, it’s so great that you’re you strengthening your intuition because you are very similar to how I felt. I was super sensitive as a child and I lost my mind. Um, it goes away when you strengthen your intuition, it’s just your tools needing to be strengthened. And once you, you harness them, you don’t feel it ever again, uh, the sensitivity you’re in control of it. So anxiety is when you get you’re feeling too much in the room,

Sebastian Naum:
Overwhelming.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Your tools are, think of ’em as like a op like an octopus, your tentacles are like, yeah. You know, in control and you’re picking up everything. So when you strengthen your intuitive gifts, all of a sudden you now are going, okay, I’m gonna feel that. Nope, I’m not, I’m gonna do this. Nope. I’m not. And you’re now like in center with your tools,

Sebastian Naum:
How do you practice that? How do you strengthen that?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. A good question. Uh, it should be in our schooling. Like, it’s crazy how it’s not

Sebastian Naum:
Like an intuition gym on class pass.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. You know, that’s good idea. I, so the best way. And maybe one day I’ll put a program together to help people, but the best way is start with one. Whether it’s sight sound, body, whatever one feels your strongest, I would start with and start with for two months, ask simple non-emotional questions. Me. I should go for a walk this afternoon. Nothing that is emotional. Yeah. Just see what you hear or say you do sound or sight. Um, see what you see. Is it a yes. Is it a no start seeing your yeses in your no. And then after two months go to like medium size questions, ones that are a little bit more emotional, but not life altering. And you do the same thing. It’s just like working a muscle at the gym. I mean, it’s funny, you said class pass. It is literally a muscle. Yeah. And after a certain amount of months, you can ask more emotional questions, but it’s, you need to work the muscle. And I always say, um, at the very beginning also ask ridiculous questions. Like I should smoke crack today and get your loud nos and then really, really strong yeses and get your loud yeses so you can start to feel it.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s what I was gonna ask you. Because for me, it’s with, you know, if you’re seen, it’s very easy to see a yes or no or not. Maybe it’s not easy, but you know, for if it’s like a feeling for me, I think it’s more like I have an incredibly strong sense of smell, but I, I don’t know. I, I wanna learn about what kind of information smells te tell me, because I’m not there yet. I at all, but the feeling is very strong too. Right? So like, even this morning I was thinking about, you know, I had a feeling of like going surfing. And so I was like, should I do, should I go surfing? Should I go on a run? Should I go to the gym? Should like, I was like, typical me of like weighing out all the possibilities this morning. And I was like, it was just like a feeling. I was like, no, my body’s too on me to go surfing. And it was like the best decision. And uh, so yeah. So I think that those are the kind of the small questions, right? The small questions to start going. And, and

Valerie Mya:
Even though you have that strong intuition, like even I went back, cuz my strongest one is body also like you, your strongest is the body, the knowing in here. Um, and then you strengthen the other ones. I would suggest doing the body, but also strengthening like sound or sight or smell and just start with small questions. Even if it feels like what’s the point of this, you, it is a muscle. And at some point your yeses and your nose are gonna be, come so clear to you.

Sebastian Naum:
How can a yes and a no come into smell.

Valerie Mya:
Uh, if it’s smells bad, like when you smell something, if it’s like, oh God, oh, uh, like, and you’re like, ah, that stings or burns. It means maybe there’s like something negative. Maybe burning means anger, pain, whatever, if it smells good. And it seems like an opening you’re like, oh, and that will be more of a yes.

Sebastian Naum:
Got it. Yeah. My friends, fun of me because I literally don’t, I won’t put a piece of food, anything in my mouth that I don’t know before smelling it. Like I just, that’s all I need. I don’t need to taste it. I already know what it tastes like.

Valerie Mya:
Oh, that’s amazing.

Sebastian Naum:
Smell it. I don’t want it. Oh, this is delicious.

Valerie Mya:
Now you just proved like you actually, your strongest is. So now you’re the strongest intuition. So that’s amazing once

Sebastian Naum:
In a while I’m wrong. But hardly ever once in a while I smell something I’m like, eh, and then I taste it. I’m like, that’s very, I’m like the smell and the taste here are wrong. don’t inside. It’s not me. It’s it’s this thing.

Valerie Mya:
Well, and I would say at that point, that’s when you start getting into like, maybe you need to ask three questions around one. Yeah. And like even more into the details of stuff.

Sebastian Naum:
Sure. Start getting into those layers.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Yeah. But I will say I’ll throw it out because they are telling me to, if anyone’s playing with this, make sure you put time. So if you say I should go for a walk, most likely you’re always gonna get a yes. But if you go, I should go for a walk today. That’s gonna be a different question. So always make sure you’re very distinct on your question.

Sebastian Naum:
Oh, because the, I could go, should I go for a walk? Should I go surfing? It’s just like in life, like

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, of course. You most likely will always hear. Yes, I should go surfing. But if I should go surfing today, no. Okay. I should go surfing tomorrow. Yes. I should go surfing before 3:00 PM. No. Okay. I should go surfing after 3:00 PM. This is where you start playing around and you get really good with like yeah. Puzzle together. And at first it’s again, it’s gonna seem really tea. Sure. Certain point you’re just like bouncing off a thousand questions and it’s easy.

Sebastian Naum:
I wanna get super weird about like kind of getting into that sort of field is like when I actually am surfing, the weirdest thing is that sometimes I’ll be sitting there and just like, nothing’s coming, there’s no waves coming. And I’m like, I’m just gonna sit here and kind of close my eyes and just kind of get into like this sort of gratitude. And, and like for being out here and for, you know, I kind of asked like, you know, God, the universe send me this wave and I kind of opened my eyes and there’s the wave. It’s the weirdest thing. Amazing. It’s almost every time, like it’s super weird, pretty epic,

Valerie Mya:
But that’s amazing cuz you’re connecting to like your heart center, which is where we like, we can instantly manage Fest if we connect to that pretty quickly. And, and that’s amazing you do that. Wow. I’m gonna do that with surfing. I’m stealing that trick.

Sebastian Naum:
This, the, the Mayan shaman was telling me that I’m like, my magnetism is like just insane. He’s like, it’s very dangerous. He’s like, you can turn into like a very evil man, because you’re gonna notice that any, you can track anything. And I’m like, I’m like, I mean, that sounds epic. I’m like, , I’m not gonna turn into, don’t worry about me. I’m not gonna turn it into an evil man, but Hey guys, I just wanna remind you that you could get more content like this@sebastiannom.com. That’s Sebastian NA U m.com. And you can also get a ton of other marketing resources from myself and my agencies ranging from S to social media, influencer, marketing, branding, animation, web development, and more again, that’s Sebastian nam.com. Thank you. And enjoy the rest of the show. I, I can feel it already with a lot of things, but definitely not to them, you know, to where I can probably get it too. So we’ll see.

Valerie Mya:
I mean, he’s right, because your energy is strong. Like you a very strong energy when I feel into it. So it’s like you harness those gifts. You’re gonna be like, you’ll you’ll, you’ll be like, oh my God, Val, this is so much fun.

Sebastian Naum:
I appreciate it. Thank you. Um, there was, I was, no, I’m not gonna go into that one. I was gonna tell another story, but uh, let’s just keep going with you. Um so when did you start seeing these energy layers? Uh, the auras, the colors. How old were you?

Valerie Mya:
Oh, ever since I was little, if you talked to my mom, I would like cry being like, that’s gotta be

Sebastian Naum:
So overwhelming because like I said, I’m saying like I had this moment at the airport coming back where I sat down and I was so overwhelmed. Mm-hmm for no reason. And there was so many different energies around me and I started and I thought of you, I Reem, I thought of UAL. And I was like, oh, I maybe this, like when she was a little kid, must have been like, just so much. So I started actually leaning into it and being like, okay, what am I feeling? I’m gonna look at this human. Does it change if I channel into this person? And, and I’ve been trying to practice it a little bit, but, um, is that what it was like for you? It’s just coming from coming at you from everywhere.

Valerie Mya:
Everywhere. Yeah. And then like other realms, like I saw spirits as kids and my mom crying outside being like, I don’t wanna go my house. So it was just overwhelming. And I be, if you talk to anybody from my high school, like I was such a rebel, but because I just didn’t know what else to do. I was just like, screw it all. I like, no one understands what I’m going through. And it was, It was hard as a kid, but you know, obviously my soul chose that. And, and I had to, I learned skills through that, but it was very overwhelming until I, I harnessed it all.

Sebastian Naum:
I mean, that could almost be, I could almost imagine. Y you’re it sounds like your mom was supportive of it.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. She definitely, she tells me now she definitely questioned things. Like maybe not really seeing this until she spoke to someone else who described exactly what I described. And she was like, oh, maybe my daughter is wow. But she was always supportive in the sense of not making me seem like I was crazy.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s awesome. Cause I could even imagine non-supportive parents being like, yo, my kid schizophrenic, like, yeah, right. Like

Valerie Mya:
A hundred percent. I mean that I was, I could have easily even labeled many things at that. And my mom didn’t, I was, I lived in a very, very small town, like one red light, like graduated 60 people. And I left at age 13. Cause I was like, I need to get outta here. I don’t fit. Yeah. So like the town made me feel like I was crazy. Not that anyone did that, but it was just, I didn’t, no one else was going through what I was going through,

Sebastian Naum:
Man. That’s wild. Well, you’re very fortunate that, that you had that support for sure. So what, what did you mean that other people were saying the same thing you were saying? What, what was that test that she was doing to see that you were, oh,

Valerie Mya:
She tell me the story just recently actually. So I, I would tell her all the time that I saw spirits and she would tell me like, what do you see? And I was like, well, sometimes I see this like black mist or I would describe it. And then there was this one time, I guess, cuz I did musical theater at that time. Cuz I danced to get out the energy. I, there was a theater that we were at and my mom was talking to the guy in the lighting booth and he’s like, oh, this place is so haunted. Um, and she’s like, wait, what? And then she asked him, well, what do you see? And he described exactly how I described it.

Sebastian Naum:
Oh.

Valerie Mya:
And like how I saw it. And she was like, huh, maybe, maybe Val’s not making it up. Cause it was like verbatim apparently. Yeah.

Sebastian Naum:
I just got the chills. That’s fun. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Um, so when did you decide to start a, a business from it and, and take this into a professional practice?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, pretty quickly after the healer who now is like a friend of mine, family. He told me I was supposed to do this. And then I pretty much harnessed stuff right away. I like threw myself into it. And within about six months, like I already started getting people that wanted to work with me because prior to that I was doing it with spray ballet. Like I was at that when I started that company, I was a sprayer. And so I’d walk into homes. I would spray them and spend 20 minutes with them. They would tell me about their life. I would give them advice. I, I would read something and they’d be like the next week. They’d be like, oh my God, you changed my life. Like how did you know? So I that for like four years. So it was like I was in training without even knowing it.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s cool.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. So once I kind of like realized what I was doing and understood it all about six months later, I jumped right into it.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s that’s super cool. That’s awesome. Yeah. We’ll go a little bit more into pre prevail in a second here. Yeah. Um, so did you ever, did you ever, you never felt any shame with like, oh, you know, charging lots of money for sort of, uh, channeling this beautiful soul skill that you have or, or anything like that. Because a lot of people, I think some listeners out there too, they, they feel some sort of shame yeah. Charging for something that could be a gift to others. Right. And this can also tie sort of into conscious business and, and purpose and profit. Yeah. Um, yeah. Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
So the thing is, is a few things. If you add value to something, like if someone’s paying for a service, there’s more value, they will end up using it more. So it benefits the client by investing in themselves, investing in something and then they end up changing their life more. They put value on it. They, so they’re more invested. So I, and I’ve done this, I, I did a few session for free and they didn’t do anything with the information where I charge people and they’re doing something with it. Yeah. So it does actually help the client. But also if I’m gonna reach the most amount of people I’m gonna wanna reach, I’m gonna have to live in this human world and make a living. And I am doing this on the side for free having to somehow make an income. I’m not gonna reach the people I need to reach. I just won’t. And um, you have to find value in yourself, even though it’s a gift. And it’s also what my soul came to do. And I see enough value in myself to know that if I wanna make this the best it can be, I need it. I need to look at, at it as this is an exchange, um, in, in that sort of way. Yeah. And then I become the best version of me. I invest in it more so I can help more people.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Absolutely. And, and great advice too. So when you go on a date, do you shoot right into that other person’s energy right. Into the layers, look at their insecurities, their strengths. And you’re like, oh, that’s all I need. I just met you five minutes. We can either, let’s just go on, you know, we continue or just get right out.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. It’s funny. Cuz I was engaged for a while and I had, so like I was so relationship. So I, and I was, that was there, but now it’s like I’m, I am in the dating world because my soul decided to take a different path and not with him. So that’s totally fine. But I’m at this place where like, you know, like be when someone reaches out, I instantly know this is not my person. Like I can see if this is my person or not. If I’m supposed to be with this, what are we AMA to? So yeah. I can see that pretty quickly. So dating is like nonexistent, unless I literally am like my soul’s like, okay, this is something to, to consider.
Sebastian Naum:
Okay. That’s important to say though, because this is something important to consider. That doesn’t mean that you’re gonna have the answer right away.

Valerie Mya:
I could have the answer, but maybe I need to like learn a lesson through this person or, or understand something before my person comes in. Right. Mm-hmm so maybe, and, and that’s the thing I, I recently heard with somebody they’re like, I was like, this is not my person at all, but like go and, and like have two dates and see what happens. And I got one of the biggest gifts of like under standing, something about dating through that. And I took that and then was able to help clients with it. So sometimes for me again, if this is play, like sometimes I’m like, what am I learning? Where do I need to get it from? Sure. But it can be a down the downfall is like, I’m so aware that it’s not my person. So I’m like, okay,

Sebastian Naum:
That’s

Valerie Mya:
Thank you.

Valerie Mya:
But I try not to like dive into people’s energy, like on a date. Like I’m not like reading them.

Sebastian Naum:
That is.

Valerie Mya:

Valerie Mya:
Well, you know, I mean, it’s, I read some things, but not all.

Valerie Mya:
Okay.

Sebastian Naum:
Okay. I gotcha.

Valerie Mya:
I’m

Valerie Mya:
Off the, you know,

Sebastian Naum:
So any guys out there watching this at some point, uh, yeah, go ahead and reach out to Val. You’ll get a real quick. Yes or no.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, exactly.

Sebastian Naum:
I love it. So what exactly. So what is spray Vale?

Valerie Mya:
Spray? Valet is a mobile spray tanning company. Um, that is app based at this point and it’s an and Miami.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s awesome. Yeah. Um, I told you in the past there, there was something about me that really likes

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. You

Sebastian Naum:
Know, beautiful tan body. I think there’s something about tanning and uh, any human that has a great tan, they feel right. More confident they feel and look more beautiful externally, internally. What is it about, why is it tanning? Does it have to do, because you know, you know, at a source it has to do with the sun it’s um, is it health related? What is it? Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
I mean, I think skin is tied to, um, emotionally keeping it together.

Sebastian Naum:
Mm.

Valerie Mya:
So keeping things and when it’s

Sebastian Naum:
Interesting,

Valerie Mya:
Does that make sense? I guess so it’s like tan and then also, like you said, it can make you really feel confident. It changes so much in how you carry yourself and all of that, that it, then you start radiating

Sebastian Naum:
Like in turn. Yeah. It, it just the default sort of interesting. Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
So

Sebastian Naum:
Next time I see a Tann person I’m like that person’s got their together. They are holding it together. I never thought about that.

Valerie Mya:
Okay. Exactly. So it, and, and I think naturally when you feel good, right. Then you start to feel like, oh, I can hold it together. I can get through this. I can, you know, this better,

Sebastian Naum:
I’ve got a Tann. I can get through anything.

Valerie Mya:
It’s your super power.

Sebastian Naum:
I love that. And so you, you touched on this a little earlier that through spray ballet and it, and essentially you’re going to people’s homes. Most of the clients are likely women. Yeah. Um, and, um, you were sort of practicing , you know? Yeah. Your superpowers through this, because, and you mentioned this also is you’re kind of getting somebody at their most VO in, in a vulnerable state, right? Yeah. Why explain that?

Valerie Mya:
Uh, I mean, obviously they’re usually naked, so you be the most vulnerable physically, which causes people to be usually emotionally vulnerable. Yeah. And, um, and yeah, so they just open up. I mean, I met the coolest people when I sprayed back in the day and I met all walks of life. It was like, literally my soul was like, I’m gonna set you up to work with every walk of life. People you would never normally hit and you’re gonna work that muscle. And, uh, it, it changed my life. To be honest, I, I have stories back and the day that people I met, there’s some people who are still in my life that would never have been in my life if I did not do that job.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s so interesting. And now, so now it’s growing, uh, which is, which is incredible. And so what are conscious aspects that you’ve instilled into your business for spray valet?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, I think, um, I always say this about anything I do. It’s like, how can I change more lives? That’s I ask that question? Mm-hmm like, how can I change more lives in what I do? Because I started spray ballet years and years ago before I did healing work. So I had to like, obviously transition that, like, how was this gonna now change lives? Cuz it felt a little disc disconnected. I, and for me it was all about changing either our message to our clients. I never use fear based things. Um, even no matter what’s going on in the world, I really stay away from instilling fear. I try to use wordage to empower. Right. So my whole thing is how do I empower more people through spray valley spray valley that maybe would never see me as a healer? And so that is always like, how do I change more lives in spray valley?

Sebastian Naum:
I love that because somebody from the outside maybe thinking like, okay, tanning. And like, how is that? You know, how is that conscious or how are you instilling that, um, core value into your business? And you’re actually asking yourself constantly, how can I change more lives? So I think that for anybody listening out there too, is this can be for any business, right? How can I impact more? How can I change more lives with my business today? And if that business is impossible to resonate with any sort of impact or change, then perhaps that is, you know, your higher knowing, telling you that you’re in the wrong business, maybe right. Or maybe there’s a way that you figure out, okay, there is a way to impact, but it’s nothing that we’re doing. Okay. How do we bring that in? And I love you were doing that, you know, on a daily. Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
So, and it’s, you’re so right. And it’s like you, if you ask that question, you start to consider even like, okay, your employees, how do you change their lives? How do you change your client’s lives? How do you change? Like, okay, if we’re going bigger here, how do we change the conscious collective with this one thing you really can take anything and go, how do I change more lives with this? And, and then that’s where you get more on your path. That’s how you get closer to your so want.

Sebastian Naum:
I love that. And that, that was gonna be my follow up question was how do you take that to the next level of not just that end user? What about the rest of, you know, it’s your team, the conscious collective, the environment and how that actually ties into you going more into your path. So going to that a little bit more. So how did you do that in terms of how you were impacting others that you know, were related to the business and how that’s helping you be more on your path?
Valerie Mya:
Yeah. I mean, look, spray Valley’s challenge for me because it’s easy to change people’s lives with my healing. Like that’s just there, right? Spray ballet challenges me to go, okay. Think outside the box. So for me, it’s helping me just go, how do I work this muscle even more? How do I think more outside the box? So for me, I, every single time I asked my higher self, like, can we get rid of this now? But let’s move on. My higher self was like, Nope, you’re going, this is a good challenge for you to really harness that. Yeah. Um, so it’s good for me. And then with my employees, there’s core values that we instill, like don’t bring a problem, bring a solution. Um, there’s just certain things that like we work energetically, meaning, um, yes. I’m gonna give you logic, but I’m also gonna sometimes give you the energetic component to this. Um, I’m always telling people to put themselves first, which is self love. Put yourself first. Yes. Like we are a company and yes, I want to thrive, but I, this company can’t do well if you’re not putting yourself first. So there’s all

Sebastian Naum:
From a business standpoint that could mean, uh, short term loss because maybe some, one of your employees says, Hey, I’m feeling this, this and that. So I’m gonna have to cancel on this and that maybe hurts the business or maybe there’s less money made there. And, but that’s still meant, you know? Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
But people don’t realize that little thing actually ends up being real. It doesn’t even it’s it’s nonexistent. Correct. Cause you get the, it comes back and then it also shows me like, okay, well that’s a reflection for me. Like if I’m getting a negative thing, then I go, okay, what am I doing that created this? So it’s a lesson for me.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I think as, as a leader, it’s always, always good to ask yourself. That question is, how did I create this issue or challenge that we’re having in, you know, in the business right now? What was it that I did or didn’t do with my team or my other leaders that I could have done better? Um, because at the end of the day, like I, I mean, if I sometimes tie a lot of things to sports too, it’s like, it’s at the end of the day, it falls on the coach. Like, you know, I mean the players could, there’s something going on with the coaching if you’re losing every game, right.

Valerie Mya:
A hundred percent. I mean, I will always say, like, I get a lot of questions about leadership in business and stuff like that. And I’m one to say, I, and even in my normal life with a partner or anything, I don’t point a finger at anyone. It is nobody I’m creating it. So , so I have to figure out what, what I’m creating. That gives me this negative experience. The minute I shift that within me, it goes away. You’ll never see me ever point a finger at anyone because I’m creating it. I’m, co-creating the experience. And it’s showing me something that’s imbalanced within me. And once I shift it, it disappears. Um, so you’ll, you’ll never see me get angry at someone. I might go back in the porn scream

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. And, and that doesn’t mean that one doesn’t have to have a difficult conversation with somebody. Like sometimes, I mean, people mess up and could do better as well too. It’s and it’s like, okay, had, how did I co-create this mm-hmm okay. There’s still this other person or human or team member that really like messed up in a way. Okay. Like how can I help them not mess up in the future? We could still have a conscious conversation about, there was still a mistake that happened and how that can be fixed. That doesn’t mean it just for anyone listening out there that doesn’t, it’s completely like just on you and don’t even talk about it. Right. Or don’t confront, it’s like confronting in a conscious way.

Valerie Mya:
I always say, just find your part of it first, because if you don’t find it, the lesson still hits you. Right. Find it so that you shift it and then go and have a conversation. Your emotions will be down, everything more lowered and you can actually move through the problem much easier.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. Yeah. That’s super important. That’s extremely important. So before we begin to close out here, um, are you down to do like a really quick little live, uh, little energy reading on me?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, sure. cool. What, what do you want to know?

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. So I’ll throw this out there. So right now there’s a potential for a, um, an important business venture of mine that I’ve been working on that to get put on hold, uh, not, not VMI decision, but, um, so that’s been difficult and, and I’m not sure where that’s gonna go and then there’s also other potential investments or projects to invest into. So I’m kind of working on navigating this sort of Cisco on hold, where does that energy go? And so I’m kind of like, is there it’s going on there?

Valerie Mya:
So you’re saying you have one, just so I’m clear, you have one that is like, they’re both on hold. Some are coming at you and some of you’re trying to do

Sebastian Naum:
So there’s one, there’s one pot, there’s one project that may potentially go on hold pause, and maybe be paused for a very long time or forever. So there’s that. And then there’s these other potential investments that I I’m looking into. Right. And so it’s like, I’m trying to figure the meaning of what this potential, this business mm-hmm that will be going on hold that. It’s not how it’s supposed to be. I’m trying to figure that out. Mm-hmm and then I’m also trying to navigate where it is sort of, you know, put my eggs into, right?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. It feels like the one that’s on hold might, um, need, um, a new, uh, something needs to shift in that meaning, um, what’s the best way to put it. It feels like older energy to you. Um, so part of you is like shifting your, the way you see yourself, you’re shifting yourself image slightly, give yourself a new persona to reinvent. They’re giving me two things here. Okay. So, well, let’s

Sebastian Naum:
Work with that. Other let’s work with that, right. Let’s work with,

Valerie Mya:
So just gave me the answers for the two. So one of them is the one that’s on pause.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s maybe going on pause. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Valerie Mya:
I think you’ll need to just like re rethink about this. Like where can you reconstruct it to fit you more and, and maybe get rid of, of certain things that don’t feel completely you. Um, but the other ones feel like stepping into a different persona, like it’s time that you change the way you view yourself.

Sebastian Naum:
Hmm.

Valerie Mya:
To open up the right doors and open you into the right avenue. It’s a dated identity that I’m picking up.

Sebastian Naum:
. So when we’re doing this, you’re just kind of going in you’re you can actually go through the screen going into my energy as I’m talking about it. Yes. Yeah,

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. You can tell me about someone across the world and I can go into their energy.

Sebastian Naum:
That’s crazy.

Valerie Mya:
Well, you have to realize that it’s not physical.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah, right?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Go to it.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. That’s crazy. So this, this project, for example, that maybe going on pause, it’s something that I’ve, um, that I was really excited about. Right. And really excited about and really had put a lot into. Right. So it’s kind of like a, a tough to, to swallow if it’s not gonna go down mm-hmm and I think that there’s like a sort of this mourn that may need to happen or, or will happen or I’m, I’m kind of, uh, uh, of afraid of, but

Valerie Mya:
Sure. I think, I think knowing that, and that’s what I mean, there’s something where it’s like taking, cuz obviously there’s a few questions I would ask you, but I don’t want it to be super, super personal. Uh, but it, what I’m picking up is first and foremost, and even before you told me what was going on, I heard this identity has to be updated. You’re persona how you view yourself, give yourself a new identity, because that’s going to open up the right doors on everything you touch with career. Um, you’ve shifted a lot. Your energy’s shifted a lot, but the mind has not tapped into a new idea of who you are.

Sebastian Naum:
Hmm.

Valerie Mya:
So I always say like pick a persona, um, uh, like, like you could be the world’s greatest entrepreneur, right? Like that’s your new, like you’re the world elite entrepreneur. That’s a different persona. So if you tap into a different persona, that’s going to open up the right doors with career right now. Things are a little on pause because you, your brain has to match up with your energy.

Sebastian Naum:
So you can. So what you’re seeing this energetic shift in regards to career mm-hmm, , that’s something that has already happened happened is what you’re saying.

Valerie Mya:
Your energy you’ve shifted so much inside, but your brain, and this is where people don’t realize, this is what I love. You have to do the energy, but then you have to understand like your brain is physical and it’s all belief systems. So your brain right now is tying to an older belief of how you view yourself. And the minute you give yourself a new persona, a new way of viewing yourself. Um, even if you just view yourself, like I’m in this next chapter, career is about to change, right? Like I’m just telling your brain that your energy literally just changed when I said that mm-hmm it just like moved into a different identity.

Sebastian Naum:
I’m feeling it real hard.

Valerie Mya:
Yeah. Like your energy went to, and

Sebastian Naum:
You said that I felt that same thing. Yep. Yeah.

Valerie Mya:
And this is exactly what I mean is that you’ve been, I think looking at war work the same way and it’s in a different chapter. Yeah. And you just me just saying that, just made your energy go into the right direction.

Sebastian Naum:
Yeah. Really cool. Thank you for that, Val. Thank

Valerie Mya:
You. Of course.

Sebastian Naum:
I love that. Val, what do you think are the top two traits that a conscious leader must embody in today’s world?

Valerie Mya:
Good question. Um, there’s a solution and answer for everything. You just have to find it there. There should never be like a, Nope. This doesn’t work. Nope. This doesn’t work. So the, the job that you were talking about that could be on pause. Nope. Just adjust it. Just move it. There’s never a no, there’s always a why, how shift? Um, we’re limitless. So we should always follow that. and then there’s a few of them. I’m trying to think. What is the, I also think, I mean, I guess it goes back to, to what I’m saying of being a leader. We have to embody it first to then teach it. So it’s always about not looking outside, looking internal. I mean, that’s how I’ve shifted my entire world. That’s how I help people shift is I go in all the time. I never look out. I never say this is what’s. This is the problem. I go, okay. Not saying I’m the problem, but I go, okay, what wants to be balanced? More sure. So I think a conscious leader always has to be looking at that.

Sebastian Naum:
Love that. Very cool. Yeah. Of that vow. So where can people find you and, or, uh, your business as well?

Valerie Mya:
Yeah, so, um, Valerie maya.com is my website or spray valet.com. Uh, Instagram, Valerie Maya. I don’t use it often, but it’s there. Right. And then, um, I also have a podcast, become light,

Sebastian Naum:
