BONUS: Heal the Divine Feminine and Step Into Love
K+L spoke with Lee Harris, renowned channel and author of Conversations with The Z's. With luck, and maybe some divine intervention, Lee received a second download – a message from The Z’s urging him to channel, live, here on the show. This episode, a curated clip from part two of their conversation, presents his channeling of The Z’s in full – a very special honor. Expecting and prompting them for a general message to the collective, K+L are surprised with an intimate and intuitive perspective on their own relationship (and relationships) past, present, and future.
