Leisa Reed: 00:01

Hey, besties. My name's Leisa.

Tamara Kindred: 00:03

And my name's Tamara, and we're BFFs.

Leisa Reed: 00:06

Tamara and I met when we were about 12 years old growing up in good old Fairbanks, Alaska.

Tamara Kindred: 00:11

And we've been best friends forever since.

Leisa Reed: 00:13

That's right. And that's why we've decided to have some fun, friendly conversations with

Leisa Reed: 00:17

the bestest of best friends.

Tamara Kindred: 00:18

We'll talk about how we became best friends, our experiences together, and have other best friends on the show to share how they met. Who knows? You never

Leisa Reed: 00:27

know when you'll meet your next BFF.

Tamara Kindred: 00:30

Now let's get into it, how I met my BFF.

Leisa Reed: 00:34

Welcome to another episode of how I met my BFF. Hi, Tamara.

Tamara Kindred: 00:39

Hey, Lisa. How's it going?

Leisa Reed: 00:41

It is good. I'm already in my red. I've got my red nail polish, red lipstick, red shirt, and you might even see that if you catch some of the video we might even release some videos of this episode, but we'll see. We'll see. To be determined.

Leisa Reed: 00:59

Do you have anything going on in your world that you wanna share?

Tamara Kindred: 01:03

Well, I guess the big thing coming up this week is, excuse me, is we the grapes are about two weeks ahead at the vineyard due to the lovely weather that we've had this summer so far. So, we are getting ready to harvest.

Leisa Reed: 01:22

Wow. So is that

Tamara Kindred: 01:24

bit? Yeah. It is early, but we also started early. So the season's been long. It's just kind of been a different summer due to the weather that we've had.

Tamara Kindred: 01:36

So that's exciting, but very busy.

Leisa Reed: 01:38

What's your favorite part? Do you is harvest your favorite, or pruning is your favorite? Or are they the same? Because I really don't know.

Tamara Kindred: 01:47

Well, pruning is very hard.

Leisa Reed: 01:50

Okay. Well, I don't

Tamara Kindred: 01:51

know. Very hard it's, like, harder than just picking harvesting grapes, but it's also very rewarding because you know what you're prune you're, you know, pruning to get grapes. So I don't know. It's all it's all relative, I guess, and harvesting is very fun, and we bring the community. The community comes and literally picks all of our grapes for free.

Tamara Kindred: 02:16

I mean, we feed them and we give them beverages, but, there's not many vineyards in the nation, I believe, that literally gets their grapes picked by community members and for free.

Leisa Reed: 02:30

Thank you, Missoula and surrounding communities.

Tamara Kindred: 02:33

Yeah. Yeah. This will be my twenty first harvest.

Leisa Reed: 02:36

So Oh my gosh.

Tamara Kindred: 02:37

You guys just been busy with that and trying to get everything together. And then, of course, September, just with weddings and other events, it's our busiest month so far. So just And

Leisa Reed: 02:49

for those wondering, for our besties listening, it's Ten Spoon Winery. Right?

Tamara Kindred: 02:53

Yes. Correct.

Leisa Reed: 02:55

In Missoula, Montana. Beautiful.

Leah Harrington: 02:58

Yes.

Leisa Reed: 02:58

Well, I have a

Leah Harrington: 02:59

couple

Leisa Reed: 02:59

professional updates that it's it's there must be something in the air because I think our besties know I'm a member of eWomen Network here at specifically here in Orange County. It's a global network, but I'm in the chapter in Orange County, California. And I'll be speaking at the Las Vegas chapter in October. I'll be speaking at Calabasas in November, which, one of our guests is near that area, so we'll talk about that. And then I'm going to be speaking at Orange County in January and then Santa Barbara in February.

Leisa Reed: 03:36

So it is like an e women escapade that I will be on, in the Western Region. So I'm pretty excited about that. Back to in person officially. And, I'll be sharing a new talk that has yet to be heard by anybody, and it's called public speaking secrets for business owners because you didn't start a business to chase clients. And so, that's kind of exciting.

Leisa Reed: 04:04

I've been putting it together, and it's funny. Even though I've spoken hundreds of times and given hundreds of talks and changed my talks, each time I do a new talk, I feel that nervousness come back. And I feel like, okay. I gotta get it the right way. And so I I have the same trepidations that a new speaker would have even though I've done this a million times.

Leisa Reed: 04:25

So

Leah Harrington: 04:26

I'm sure you're gonna be great. Aw. Thank you. Mhmm.

Leisa Reed: 04:29

I will envision that. I will I will receive that and make it so. I speaking of speaking, one of our members, one of the members of the International Speaker Network, which is a community that I have, which I don't usually talk about on our show today, but or on our show. But one of the members of our community is one of our guests, and she's brought her best friend. So I wanna welcome Rebecca and Leah to the show.

Leisa Reed: 04:55

Hello.

Rebecca Randolph: 04:56

Hello. Hello. Thank you.

Leah Harrington: 05:00

Hi. Happy to be here. Yeah.

Leisa Reed: 05:02

Yay. I'm so excited to meet you, Leah. Rebecca talks fondly of you. Mhmm. So, Rebecca, would you share how you met Leah for the first time?

Rebecca Randolph: 05:15

Yes. And there's a little tiny bit of a backstory because actually the first time I met Leah was just through an email with her email address, but we had to circle back and realize that that was her, and then we met. We actually met on a Zoom meeting, or it was a it was like a nonduality spiritual group that we both attended. And I just happened to pop into the meeting, And Leah that was there popped in. I was going through some really rough, rough patches in life.

Rebecca Randolph: 05:46

And Leah just sat with me, talked to me, and I thought this woman is, like, the most amazing coach or healer I've ever experienced. Was like, wow. This is I'm like, wow. She took the time to just be there with me. And then it just continued.

Rebecca Randolph: 06:03

She was just such a huge massive support for me. And then our friendship this was, like, a year and a half ago, maybe two years ago. It evolved. We stayed in touch. And the first time in person, I can't even remember.

Rebecca Randolph: 06:16

She lives in Westlake. I was driving through. And I said, well, hey. Why don't we meet up? And and I ended up spending the night at her house.

Rebecca Randolph: 06:25

Her boyfriend, like, allowed me to be there, and it was, like, just the most precious thing. And we're just little soul mate sisters, and now we do channeling work together and healing work. It's it's just kinda wild. The universe brought us together somehow in a wild way, very wild way. And it just keeps getting better.

Rebecca Randolph: 06:48

You know? Keeps getting better.

Leah Harrington: 06:50

Beautiful.

Rebecca Randolph: 06:51

It's just you know, it's it's ineffable. I know we're on a we gotta talk about it, but sometimes, you know, it's like that feeling is so powerful when you make those kinds of connections. Yeah.

Leisa Reed: 07:04

Oh, love that. Leah, what about you? How did it unfold for you?

Leah Harrington: 07:08

Yeah. Yeah. It did feel, like, very serendipitous in that way because, again, like, we had both we were following this nonduality teacher, Angelo Dilullo, and he would do online retreats. And we had both attended some of his retreats. But then a couple of us started meeting off on the side and there were, like, email chains going around.

Leah Harrington: 07:30

So I think she'd seen my email there. But eventually, we ended up, like, on Zoom together. And, yeah, that that was very, like, an energetic, like, sense of, you know, I like her. I like her vibe, you know. And we connected.

Leah Harrington: 07:48

And this is, you know, literally people from all over the world. And we get to talking over this Zoom and there's, you know, maybe five of us. And, yeah, I'm in Westlake Village, which is just outside of Los Angeles, and she's in Temecula. So we're like an hour and a half from each other or whatever. So it's like, okay.

Leah Harrington: 08:08

What are the chances of that? And then, you know, we get to talking and it's like, our histories are just everything. You know? It's like, okay. Wait.

Leah Harrington: 08:15

Me me too. I went through that too. So, yeah, it was, you know, it was easy to hold space. But, you know, for me, things got so interesting when Rebecca, like, let me practice. So I I started studying hypnotherapy specializing in past life regressions, and Rebecca was, like, letting me figure it all out.

Leah Harrington: 08:43

But, like, right away, her sessions were not like any others. And to this day, they are not like any others. You know, when she goes under, one, her body loves it, and her higher self will come through and speak and encourage the whole thing. Mean, just they tuck her away. Like, her consciousness gets tucked away.

Leah Harrington: 09:08

And I work with her higher self, and it is just like an infinite exploration and, you know, beings come through and channelings, all kinds of powerful, messages have come through and stories have unfolded. So it actually yeah. It's been quite a magical experience.

Leisa Reed: 09:28

Wow. How fun did you in that process, I'll get a little into the past life regression process. In that process, have you explored where you have had lives in the past together?

Leah Harrington: 09:41

That's interesting. We've sort of touched on that, and you would think that that would be, like, a huge thing that comes through, but it's more so actually, the message that we've gotten is that her and I do not have karmic connections. And it's like our souls, even when we try to ask how many incarnations, this is like what I've been trained to ask, how many incarnations has, you know, this soul been through? And we'll get the message, like, it's almost like that doesn't matter. It's almost like this infinite number.

Leah Harrington: 10:15

Mhmm. And we're not I don't know. We get the message that it's we're not that type of incarnation and that we're really great to work together because we don't have a karmic history is what they've told us, actually. And so we're and the way that our energies sort of complement each other, and that comes through a lot in the messaging that we get, that we have these complementary energies that are great to work together and, like, create together, and that we have this sort of clean slate to work off of, which is interesting.

Leisa Reed: 10:53

Beautiful. I'm reading this current book right now, haptic, What is it called? Pocket of happy money. Some pocket full of happy money, something like that. Anyway, it's it's akin to the secret, etcetera, but it goes into some of the quantum physics stuff.

Leisa Reed: 11:10

And and in reading a lot of it, and for best of know, like, my dad, I grew up with my dad as a hypnotherapist who studied past life regression and wrote books on it and did thousands of hours work with that. So, but he, in his later years, got really, really deep into quantum physics. And so I'm reading this book, and I'm like, gosh. My dad was telling me this stuff when I was younger. So I'm I'm so it's fascinating to hear it again of, like, you know, everything's made up of molecules and nothing's solid.

Leisa Reed: 11:38

Like, it I don't know. And so my mind is just really stretchy right now. Got a very silly putty mindset. I'm flexible right now. Very cool.

Leisa Reed: 11:54

Yeah. Yeah. It's so fun. So, when when do you feel like the and, Rebecca, we could go back to you. Like, the best friendship started to really crystallize from like, oh, this person's so cool.

Leisa Reed: 12:07

Oh, this is really interesting to, like, wait a second. This This is deeper than what I anticipated.

Rebecca Randolph: 12:14

I think when we started doing the past life regression work because there was this just we already established from the get it was a flash. Like, the trust was established from day one, day zero or whatever. But it was it was the deep trust and also the faith within me to open up with somebody like, it it's really hard to explain because our relationship is is so deep and so dynamic and so infinite. It's hard to really put a finger, like you were saying, this fluidity of of when that specific moment, I think it was just like, okay. Here, we're we're hugging.

Rebecca Randolph: 12:59

Here we are again. Thank you. You know, and the work that we're doing, you know, in our latest channel, we both are together as, like, neophytes in Egypt together holding hands, and they the the messages are, like, you need each other for this, process to to hold the container. So, I mean, it's it's on a physical, spiritual, mental, intellectual. Like, it's hard to to say it was just one specific moment.

Rebecca Randolph: 13:26

Yeah. It just keeps expanding. Like, the universe keeps expanding. So we made contact, then it's like, okay. This this is just continuously evolves and expands.

Rebecca Randolph: 13:36

And the creative work which I mean, it's just it's it's hard to put a put a word to that.

Leisa Reed: 13:44

Well, it sounds like it's, you know, that infinite back to what Leo was saying, like, this infinite consciousness, this infinite connection, things that we can't maybe put into words necessarily because it's beyond the planes and the linear thinking that we're used to Exactly. Describing things. Right?

Rebecca Randolph: 14:02

So so I

Leisa Reed: 14:03

get what you're saying.

Rebecca Randolph: 14:03

Yeah. And even in the channeling, sometimes it comes up where it's got really slow because it's like information code, whatever is coming in so fast, it's difficult to articulate at the speed of what things are coming through.

Leisa Reed: 14:16

Yeah.

Rebecca Randolph: 14:18

Yeah. So there's a lot of integration as part of it. But yeah. Yeah. Having to get back to planet Earth, you know, we when we get together, we we kinda we can get back here.

Rebecca Randolph: 14:30

But you know? And I think we help each other. It stay centered and grounded of having that kind of space of awareness. It's like a like a grounding cord for each other. Mhmm.

Rebecca Randolph: 14:45

Yeah.

Tamara Kindred: 14:45

And how long have you been when how long have you guys known each other? I didn't get that, I guess.

Leah Harrington: 14:51

I think it's I think it's been about two Yeah. Years

Rebecca Randolph: 14:56

Like, 2023. I'm thinking, like, I don't I'm bad with dates. Like, my I am remembering anniversary. But it's been it was 2023. It's now 2025.

Rebecca Randolph: 15:07

So give or take a couple of years. But lifetimes, I mean, how do you quantify anything like that?

Leisa Reed: 15:16

Love that. Leah, what would you say you love the most or some of the best qualities you see in Rebecca?

Leah Harrington: 15:27

You know, there's really there's so much, like, warmth there. And it's this, like, very I I think of it as almost, like, archetypal, like, mothering love. You know? And and you could really like, after we do a session, you know, because there's all this, like, energy work that's playing out. And she'll come out of the session, like, just sort of radiating her own essence, like, very clear, very, like, solid within herself and almost, like, slowed down.

Leah Harrington: 16:04

And that's, like, when I see her, like, the true Rebecca, like, shine the most. And it is. I think it's very, like, you know, it's soft, loving, and there's a strength there too that's almost, like, regal.

Rebecca Randolph: 16:21

And,

Leah Harrington: 16:25

yeah, like, just a super, like, spiritual, loving, caring, fun person that is sweet and, like, loves life.

Leisa Reed: 16:38

Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah. Okay, Rebecca.

Leah Harrington: 16:44

Let's dry your tears. Well,

Rebecca Randolph: 16:46

she is like my my rebel self. She she's taught me how to be strong and how to stand up for myself. Leah knows how to ride a Harley. Okay? This beautiful, tender, petite woman has ridden Harley Davidson.

Rebecca Randolph: 17:03

Okay? She is, like, the most insanely strong human being. The amount of baloney Tony she's been through and where she's come from that is is unbelievable. And the tenderness that is there, the tend this this strength that's like, we're the yin and the yang. I can be soft and, you know, she's like, come on, you know, be strong.

Rebecca Randolph: 17:29

And so it's this it's that co weaving. It's this this essence of just

Leah Harrington: 17:37

like a rock star.

Leisa Reed: 17:41

Beautiful.

Rebecca Randolph: 17:42

He is a rock star.

Leisa Reed: 17:45

You too. Yes. I can see how you were attracted to each other, your your spirits and and your talents and your persons and your souls. And then you've mentioned that you are working on a project together. Do you wanna share a little bit about what that is?

Leisa Reed: 18:01

Leah, do you wanna start off?

Leah Harrington: 18:03

Yeah. Sure. So like I mentioned, I started working with Rebecca, like, as practice doing my past life regressions and kind of going through the script. And it started off where she just had these really, incredible past life regressions, and they were just emotionally very powerful. We did great work in them.

Leah Harrington: 18:28

But then it started to develop and well, like, essentially, entities were coming through to speak with us during the sessions, And they started to evolve into well, in a lot of ways, unpacking my own story and, like, doing my own soul work through her channeling and, like, working with her higher self to, like, uncover my soul's history. Because, actually, I have not been able to go under in past life regression. So I myself have not experienced a past life, but Rebecca's higher self is able to read, you know, my self blueprint, answer all sorts of questions, like, help me work through issues. So it was part self development. And then along with that, you know, asking questions to her higher self was sort of like an uncovering of ancient and esoteric mysteries.

Leah Harrington: 19:33

You know, I I'm like, I have the itch for, like, what is reality? What is the nature of the universe? And so I'll act and and her higher self will answer. Not only that, but she can bring in I mean, the most incredible channelings. Rebecca's, like, built for this work.

Leah Harrington: 19:51

And and she could, you know, just call in anything really and work through, and it's just it's incredible. But, also, like she mentioned, this little it's almost like a story within a story has started to unfold. And we're gathering those recordings and editing them now. We're still in the process of that. But, you know, we I dropped her into, we're doing a session, dropped her into the spirit realm, really, and was bringing her into the Akashic record when this, like, many stories started to unfold within it where she started describing, okay.

Leah Harrington: 20:36

They're asking for me to bring your, like, higher self in now. I need your permission. And then when I gave permission, she started explaining that she was seeing a vision of the two of us appearing as, like, little neophytes. And then you follow us through this journey. She really starts describing us, you know, falling through portals and, you know, putting our hands on pyramids and things dissolve.

Leah Harrington: 21:04

You know, it's just a a whole all these scenes play out that are sort of epic tales. So

Leisa Reed: 21:11

Wow. I love it.

Rebecca Randolph: 21:14

It's amaze well, and and we're is it okay to talk about Soluna, Leah?

Leisa Reed: 21:19

Yeah. Oh, sorry.

Leah Harrington: 21:21

So this all no. This all

Rebecca Randolph: 21:24

we we it all came together and we've created we're in the stages of we have a Patreon, and it's called Soluna, s o u l u n a. And it's it's going to be a collection of our channeling, and eventually, we will be doing sessions and groups, things like that to to put the work out there because that really is right now. The message is just where we are in our in our state of evolution. I mean, we've gone down to Atlantis, Lemuria, like getting rid of these root race. And this the the funny thing is is I didn't know any of this in in the history of whatever.

Rebecca Randolph: 22:01

And so we did a session and I was we were in the Pantheon and we go down to Atlantis. And and and my Google, like, what's the connection with the Emerald tablet? Like, all these things. And it was like, woah. We're all this is something that's going on.

Rebecca Randolph: 22:14

And so we we're gonna be collecting that into Soluna, and that will evolve into oh, I hit my I hit my camera into much more things, retreats, and things like that that we wanna do.

Leisa Reed: 22:28

Love that. And so I think we have the link to your Patreon. Is that active right now?

Rebecca Randolph: 22:34

Is. There's it is. And we'll be adding some more things on there, and there's a YouTube channel. And, you know, Lee is doing some amazing meditation stuff too. There's just it it's it's snowballing big time right now.

Rebecca Randolph: 22:49

We're avalanching, really. It's it's pretty phenomenal. Yeah.

Leisa Reed: 22:54

Okay. So we'll go so go to Patreon and find souluna, s o u l u n a. So just one just one l. Beautiful.

Rebecca Randolph: 23:04

I think it's, like, city or something too, but there'll be links, I'm sure, in the Okay. Or whatever.

Leisa Reed: 23:10

Yeah. Yeah. You had sent me the link, so we'll get that.

Rebecca Randolph: 23:13

Yeah. Yeah. Cool.

Leisa Reed: 23:14

And then, Tamara, did you wanna chime in? Yeah.

Tamara Kindred: 23:17

Well, I just wanted to ask you guys. I know that you're both in kind of not in the same location, but after this podcast, if you were together, what would you go and do? Leah, if you want to start.

Leah Harrington: 23:34

Yeah. Well, right. We're so now Rebecca's in Northern California. I'm in Southern California. We do a lot of our work over Zoom.

Leah Harrington: 23:43

If we're we're in person, I mean, I already know. When we do get together, it's like, you know, all it's good foods, treats, like, catching up, not stop talking, and then boom. Like, we always get into a session. So it's fun. It's, like, you know, a little bit different to be able to to get those sessions done in person.

Leah Harrington: 24:06

There's, a little more energy to them. Mhmm. So, yeah, we usually jump on that opportunity if we get it.

Tamara Kindred: 24:14

Rebecca, is that what you would

Rebecca Randolph: 24:17

Oh, I would take I'm like no. We would go to the four seasons and have a spa day and, you know, pop champagne and get our nails done, mani pedi, Elle from top to bottom, everything, and, you know, be pampered like priestesses. We can do that. We can go to you know? Yeah.

Rebecca Randolph: 24:40

That's not our home. All the

Leah Harrington: 24:43

Yeah. We haven't done per day yet, but but it's in the future.

Rebecca Randolph: 24:47

It is.
