Meet Kim Crawford

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Kim Crawford again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Kim, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
Hello I am Dr Kim Crawford, a certified clinical hypnotherapist with an honorary PhD in esoteric studies. The majority of my efforts are based on the laws of creation, our vibrational relationship with the Universe, and helping others cultivate peace of mind.

With over 25 years of experiential living focused on cultivating a better rapport with our subconscious minds it has become possible to formulate highly effective hypnotherapy scripts allowing my clients to implement real & lasting change into their lives. Currently in the works are two short books aimed at helping people become more vibrationally conscious and grasping the concept that no two of us are alike. Both are slated for release in late Spring, 2025.

Aside from these efforts a majority of my existence is spent as a writer and content creator for myself and as a ghost writer for others. Creating graphic arts, and the media arts of charcoals, watercolors, oil pastels, and acrylics also brings me great pleasure. It still eludes me how to fully shake the feeling there is something else I should be doing with my time when I am engaged in these mediums. So for now I simply accept the time spent as my “guilty pleasure.”

Because being too nice has a tendency to attract those who aren’t, I had endured many years of extreme mental abuse after having grown up as a child of bliss. But without those very harsh life experiences, I venture to say I may have never found my ability to write.

Searching for the way to heal my deeply seeded bruised feelings led me to find I’ve got mad skills in the rhyme department. Creating Reality Rhymes for Adults to heal and Young Mind Rhymes for children to develop self-mastery are my two brands of true pride.

Mistakenly, I had allowed myself to get sidetracked by the lack of an artist to draw the characters. Now, thanks to AI, it was possible to enter their highly detailed descriptions and bring them to life, making for some very exciting times moving forward.

Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
When the first character came out of the printer it was like finally giving birth after an 8 year pregnancy! It was hard to believe what I was seeing. But it was easy to feel the sense of fresh new beginnings since now the concepts could be released to go global. And I sighed, ‘It’s a good time to be alive.’

Creating the concept of Young Mind Rhymes was a response to Deepak Chopra’s and Dwayne Dyers remarks, “There is nothing for the children.” And I had to agree since it wasn’t until my late twenties that the concept of self mastery began to become familiar to me.

So I set to meditating twice a day, for 2 hours a session sending a funnel from my crown chakra out into the clean, creative energies of the cosmos, requesting only insight into my true purpose. At the end of week 3, it felt as if a freight train was headed my way. Roaring down the funnel towards me until I went with the urge to pick up a pencil and grab a few blank sheets when BAM! It hit me.

I placed the pencil to the paper and watched it take off. Pouring out of me so fast it almost became a blur. Several times I tried to set the pencil down to no avail. This was happening and there was no stopping it until the deed was done.

Nearly 20 fully detailed character descriptions, some 45 episode titles, and 3 full stories later, i was finally able to give it a rest. What a gift! And it’s all very Dr. Seussy with cadence, rhythm, syntax, and simile by cosmic design to satiate beginning readers thirsty minds.

During my first interview with Shout Out So Cal there was much excitement around having contracted a TV production for Dr Kim Crawford’s Dirty Minds that would have helped bring hypnotherapy further into the mainstream of society. Well, two weeks after speaking at my College graduation, it turns out a drunk, texting, speeding driver decided to plow into me at twice my travelling speed with no brakes applied… Altering the course of my life, forever. Or, was it intended to set me back on track onto my intended-purpose life path? While I may not always know why, I most always do know it’s usually best to just go with the flow.

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.

What are you most excited about in the coming year?
Year 2025 is considered in numerology to be a 9-year. The 9 cycle is identified as a type of completion, meaning each of us has Carte Blanche to bring about significant transformation, while also letting go of old worn out memories which no longer serve us. It means that you can heal unhappy pasts or make changes in your life that will allow you to truly pursue your passions.

I will be using this opportune timing to embrace my truest self and allow the world to see my most genuine, real me. It is never really been my nature to act as if I’m someone that I’m not, but there are times when I am misunderstood as being someone I would never think to be.

It’s our time to shine. No two of us are alike and it is this very individualism that allows for each of us to enjoy an elevated level success in being precisely who we are meant to be. Stay true to yourself in all you do as I know I will be. Here’s to 2025 seeing all my projects through to becoming what they need to be so they will find their successful place among all of you. Thank you for spending this time getting to know the real me.
