“I am still in college.” Maria smiled and showed a little bit of her pride. “I am the only one in the family getting into the college.” I asked her: “What is your major?” “I am still in community college. I am studying Psychology and I want to transfer to university.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I laughed: “Your major is Psychology, then why do you come to see me?” Maria smiled: “I want to get the experience.” Maria is in her early 20’s, skinny. She started to tell me that her parents came from Mexico with nothing. Her smart brother just became a teen father. She has a little bit problem to befriend with her sister-in-law because Maria thinks they are too young to have a baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about her parents, she said: “They always argued. My mother stayed home to take care of me and my brother. But soon as my father came home, they started to fight for money.” I asked her: “Are they still in marriage?” “NO! My father went back to Mexico when I was in high school. My mother got a job at a retail store.” She soon looked sad: “My mom just got a baby a year ago with her boyfriend. She is doing part time job, she wants me to help her taking care of my little brother.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked her: “Are you living with your mom now?” She replied: ” Yes, but I don’t want to. I got part time job, I got school! I don’t really want to be her babysitter. But she needs me now, and I want to have my career.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked her: “Have you ever talked to your father at Mexico?” Maria’s face beamed with joy: “Yes. I love him. He always tells me when I need money, call him. He told me that he will cover my college tuition.” I immediately pointed this out to her: “It sounds like your mom wants to keep you around her, but you don’t want to follow her steps. You have strong inner struggle — stay with mom or get out to pursue my own career.<\/em> Am I right?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria resonated: “Ya! I feel guilty if I leave my mom. But I don’t want to be her babysitter. I want to run a business. I want to have my own business. I don’t want to become her. I am the only one in the family getting college degree.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Go for it! Your own future is more important than your mom’s needs. Let see what happened in your past life. See what is holding you from moving forward.” So I guided her into her past lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of her past lives, she was a very successful business man who was running a sewing factory to produce fashion clothing. That is a good indication why she wants to be a business woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure enough, I encouraged her to take business related courses, get out of her mom’s influences and seek her father’s financial assistance when she move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
