Boulder
Career Counselor Uses Numerology to Guide Clients
by Douglas Brown, for The Denver Post
October 2009
Her franchise restaurant
had thrived during the boom, but the Great Recession smacked her business. It deflated, then it sank some more.
It was time for Cindy Snowball, 54, to make a change.
The Sarasota, Fla., resident heard about Boulder career counselor Sue Frederick.
She found Frederick's website, looked it over and scheduled a phone consultation.
By the end of the conversation,
Snowball knew she would try something else.
Frederick, 58, the author of the new book "I See Your Dream Job," helps clients find new careers and jobs
using methods not found in the arsenal of many traditional career
counselors. At $250 per session — Frederick says one session is often enough — she uses numerology, meditation,
advice from dead relatives and friends, and "intuition."
With 15 million people officially unemployed in the United States and employers still laying off workers, many job
hunters have tried just about everything. They have attended networking events, sent resumes, built websites for themselves,
even worn signs advertising their skills. And for many of them, none of it led to a gig.
Some of them are trying entirely new things, like hiring Frederick or trying
to tap their own "intuition." Or buying her book, which helps job seekers tap basic numerology and leverage their
own intuition for the sake of employment.
Frederick said the collapse of the dot-com boom forced her to stop for a spell and think about the arc of her career.
"I was really tired of it. I wanted change,"
she said, describing how she felt after sitting through three layoff meetings in a year. She asked herself: "What do
I know my real gifts are?" and concluded her exceedingly vivid "right brain" — the side of the brain
dealing with art, intuition, and non-rational thinking — needed to be used more directly.
Before entering journalism, she had worked as a traditional career counselor
at the University of Missouri. She liked the work, especially the satisfaction she felt helping other people improve their
lives.
Frederick decided to meld
her creative and intuitive sides with career counseling. That was nearly 10 years ago, and she's been at it ever since.
"I really thought that when I combined the
words 'career' and 'intuitive' I would never have another client," she said. "But now I have clients all over the
country."
The clients, many
from Colorado, New York and Los Angeles, are represented by manila folders covered with notes Frederick takes while meditating.
The folders fill filing cabinets in her home-based north Boulder office, a serene space with wood floors, Buddhas and Eastern
spiritual symbols, and sometimes her Bengal cat.
The masses of layoffs on Wall Street led many former traders to Frederick. Many of the financial types, she said,
had never even considered working in other fields, even though they found their jobs unsatisfying, physically taxing and emotionally
draining.
One former
trader spent the first few minutes of his consultation complaining about Wall Street work — a typical beginning, she
said — before she led him toward a different path.
The man's life outside of work, she said, revolved around sensual pleasures.
She encouraged him to pursue cooking. Now he owns a catering company in
Manhattan that targets the financial district.
How did she figure out what the guy should be doing, what she calls a "path"?
Clients fill out a form that, among other things, contains their date of
birth. Frederick turns the date of birth into a digit using a classic numerological formula developed by Pythagoras, laid
out in her book. Depending on what digit you end up with, you could be meant for something like teaching or engineering or
any other career.
Once she has
the filled-out form and digit, she meditates with the client's folder in front of her. If the client suggested she contact
a dead relative, she tries to get in touch while meditating. All that information, she says, combined with her intuition,
gives her a good idea what path the client should be taking, which they talk about during the consultation.
The method probably wouldn't work for everybody,
said April Peterson, assistant director of the career services center at Regis University.
But even Peterson sometimes uses unconventional methods to help people find
jobs.
"I think most people
who are doing this wouldn't take a mystical approach to it as much as look at what is important in terms of your core values
system," she said. "You might get to that through early-childhood memories. What they are dreaming about may point
to it. I probably have used some of those for people who are really stuck."
Intuition has its place, too. If your instinct is telling you to hold off
on calling the person to whom you sent a resume, then don't pick up the phone.
"Following a traditional approach isn't working," she said, "so why not follow your gut?"
Frederick grew up in New Orleans and Alabama
as a self-described "weird" kid. Among other things, she says, her dreams sometimes forecast the future.
For years, she pushed her strong "intuition"
and the messages from her dreams as deep into the recesses of her mind as she could. She rarely talked about it. Once she
decided to change careers, though, she stopped fighting the world of her right brain.
What she does with clients now, she said, mirrors the transformation she
underwent.
"I
give people permission to be the people they have always known they are," she said. "You are meant to reinvent and
get to the work you have always wanted to do."

Imagine
This...By Sue Frederick, Career Intuitive
I’m standing in John Lennon’s childhood bedroom at 251
Menlove Avenue in Liverpool, England, admiring its sloped ceiling, small twin bed, and lovely window looking out over the
street. This is where John lived and created music for 18 years. Posters of his favorite 60s actress Brigitte Bardot
line the wall above his bed, and John’s own art sketches and writings adorn his other walls.
From this tiny
room was born music that changed the world – especially my world. Yet it’s such a small cocoon – this room
that fits only me and one other adult – the custodian hired by Yoko Ono to protect the home she refurbished to look
exactly as it looked when John lived here until 1963. Yoko donated this home to the National Trust so that it would be forever
preserved as part of history.
Colin Hall, the well-educated, soft-spoken custodian tells me that John spent many
hours a day sitting on this bed dreaming up a better life – sketching his visions and writing music while he gazed out
of this window at the tree tops – all the way to Strawberry Fields – an orphanage a few miles away.
It
makes me cry to imagine how John’s powerful dream for a better life reached across the Atlantic Ocean in 1964 to touch
me – a lonely, young girl growing up in Alabama – and how his dream traveled around the globe awakening so many
other people.
I remember the moment I first heard a Beatles song and how deeply it rocked my world. Standing in
this room, I can imagine the birth of that powerful music and the pain that inspired John’s genius. Closing my eyes,
I feel John’s creative brilliance burning up these walls, his restlessness, and his dark and powerful grief –
the pain that fueled his work.
“This room brings many people to tears,” says Colin standing beside
me. And yes, you can feel the sadness that hung over this bedroom when John was brought to live here in his Aunt Mimi’s
house at the age of five – already abandoned by both parents.
By then, John’s father had long disappeared.
And his mother, Julia, had gone to live with her new boyfriend. Young John was brought to this house to be raised properly
by his mother’s sister, Mimi, and her husband George. John’s mother continued to visit him here and tried to maintain
a relationship with John. But she soon started a new family with her boyfriend, and John was never brought to live with them.
In this house, John’s new life unfolded. He grew to love Mimi’s husband George who became a nurturing
father figure to him. But when John turned 15, Uncle George died suddenly - leaving Aunt Mimi broke and desperate for income
so that she and John could stay in the house. Mimi took in student boarders – as many as five at a time - to help pay
the rent for this two-bedroom house. And John, once again, felt the devastating loss of someone he loved and needed.
It was in this abandoned, struggling world that John spent his hours sketching, writing poetry, playing guitar and writing
music. He excelled in art class at his local high school, but flunked his other subjects -which caused endless arguments with
Aunt Mimi.
Mimi was convinced that John’s fascination with rock and roll would ruin his life, and she only
allowed him to play guitar on the front porch. This didn’t stop John from pursuing his music passion; in High School
he started a rock band called Johnny and the Moondogs - which soon became The Quarry Men.
When John turned 17,
his mother Julia, on a visit to see him, was hit by a car while crossing the street in front of Mimi’s house. She died
instantly. John was, once again, devastated by loss and poured his pain into music.
That same year, John’s
band was invited to play for a local church feast and after the gig was over, John was introduced to Paul McCartney, a young
musician who was also grieving the death of his mother.
Just a few blocks across town, in an even poorer neighborhood
and smaller house, 15-year old Paul McCartney had lost his mother, Mary, to breast cancer. She had been a loving presence
in Paul’s life and was well-respected in the community as a nurse and midwife.
Her death had devastated
Paul, his father, and brother Michael. The McCartneys comforted themselves with memories and music; Paul taught himself to
play guitar and write music in the living room of his cramped home in this poorer section of Liverpool.
When John
invited Paul to become part of his band, the Lennon-McCartney genius was born. Even though they were still young high school
boys, they quickly began writing music together – hanging out in the front porch of Aunt Mimi’s house, smoking
cigarettes, exchanging lyrics, laughing and dreaming up a better life.
Their inspired music that the world came
to love so passionately didn’t come from privilege, opportunity, brilliant teachers and all the advantages of life today.
Instead, their music came from dreams that were launched in loneliness and grief.
From grief, came their longing
to uplift and inspire others who needed love, who felt lonely, or abandoned. This passionate music that spoke of love reached
across the universe - to millions of people longing for connection.
When Beatle music first began filtering into
my local Alabama radio station and filling the airwaves of my world with a new sound, a new dream – I was only 12 years
old. Yet it spoke to me in ways that John and Paul, light years away, could never have imagined.
From their brilliant
new sound, I understood that life was expansive and carried endless possibility. When I heard their voices in harmony, I realized
we were truly all connected, and that anyone from anywhere could have an extraordinary life – even me.
How
that inspiration was delivered around the world in simple words such as “She Loves You” - was the miracle of the
Beatles. Somehow their pain, dreams, and energy carried hope to anyone who felt alone, confused, or lost.
The
Beatles created an intuitive connection between people everywhere that started a shift of consciousness in the early 60s.
Their simple heart-felt music changed millions of lives for the better. I was one of those people and the Beatles were truly
the miracle of my early life. I’m forever grateful for that.
Now, as I turn to leave John’s small room
and follow the custodian down the stairs of Aunt Mimi’s house, I offer a simple prayer of gratitude to John for turning
his pain into music. I tell him that I can’t imagine a world without his lyrics. And I can’t imagine the course
my life would have taken without the Beatles. I blow a kiss into the empty room and say “Thank You John.”
How ironic it is that my husband Paul died only months before John died in 1980 – two of the most
influential people in my life exiting within months of each other. And now, today, I get to come full circle and thank the
first man whose extraordinary gift changed my life…
Whenever you feel lost, alone, depressed, or hopeless,
consider this: That dark, powerful pain is your gift. Dig deep and feel it, then use it as your fuel. Make the world a better
place by offering to others what you wish had been offered to you.
Take a moment right now to imagine two teen-aged
boys from Liverpool living in poverty, with no opportunities for a better future, and grieving the losses of their loved ones.
Now picture these boys hanging out on Aunt Mimi’s small front porch, playing guitar, laughing, and writing music about
love – in spite of the grief and pain in their lives.
Imagine their pure fearless intention, their innocent
inspired joy turning itself into magic, into love, and spreading across the universe – changing everything in its path.
That was the gift of the Beatles.
Now, YOU try it…. See if you can imagine taking one small step in a brave
new direction – in spite of all your pain and losses. That step will be your greatest gift to the world. Take it.

Story:
When I work with clients, I see their
gifts and potentials; what they came here to do; the careers they would love; and where they should live. This information
comes to me as photographic images and strong messages that I transmit directly to my clients. Sometimes I see my client’s
departed loved ones, who come to the session to offer career guidance.
This joining of two seemingly disconnected worlds--the divine realms and the world of work--seems
to be my particular talent. I was born in New Orleans to a French Cajun mother who came from a long line of women with “the
gift.” I inherited a double dose of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition from her and her mother, and on back through
generations of Degas women.
These unusual gifts were nurtured by the mysterious city of my childhood.
In the haunted alleys of the French Quarter, most everybody gives respect to the “unseen” world in some form or
other: voodoo, Catholicism, psychics, vampires, Mardi Gras. My early years were flavored with this spicy magic, from my Grandpa’s
stories of the swirling Mississippi River to the unforgettable images I absorbed in the dark recesses of Crescent City life.
I thrived on the rhythms of my crazy Cajun ancestors.
And, like them, I heard other people’s
thoughts and had vivid dreams of events that would happen in the future. My psychic gift is most powerful now that I use it
to help others. The precognitive images that I see help me guide my clients to their true work. But it took nearly 55 years
to embrace this ability to see the unseen world, and to learn what it had to teach--rather than being ashamed or afraid of
it.
One of my strongest experiences in confirming the power of the unseen
realm began in 1978, when I met and married a fellow mountaineer, Paul Frederick. We were crazy in love and planning a family
when, at only 35 years old, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and given two weeks to live. From the moment of his diagnosis,
we were determined to overcome it. We explored conventional and alternative healing methods, and quickly became immersed in
energy work, visualization, herbal medicine and Native American medicine. Paul was part Cherokee, so his mother provided us
with books and healers from the Native American tradition. She got us an audience with a famous Sioux healer, Chief Fools
Crow.
Over the next few months, as Paul’s health deteriorated, I experienced
many extraordinary other-realm experiences with him. Chief Fools Crow became Paul’s constant dream companion. Paul awoke
each morning with a new story to report about something Fools Crow had taught him the night before. The most dramatic was
Paul’s sudden ability to speak Lakota, the language of the Sioux.
In the
last few weeks before he died, Paul woke up singing a Lakota death song every morning. He said Fools Crow taught him two songs--one
to deal with the pain and one to help him die. When the doctors heard this strange singing, they thought he was either speaking
in “tongues” or was delirious, and they reported this in his medical charts. In college, I had studied Native
American history and was very familiar with the language of Lakota. I knew exactly what he was singing.
On a rainy summer day in July 1980, Paul slipped into a coma. For nearly 24 hours, the accumulated
stress of the past year washed over me and, eventually, I fell asleep on the floor. As soon as I dozed off, Paul appeared
in front of me. He was smiling and quite happy. He touched my arm and said, “Don’t worry. I’m free. But
what are you waiting for? You said I could die in your arms.”
I awoke
with a jolt and cleared everyone out of the room. Paul’s mother and I stood on either side of him. We rubbed his arms
and legs and told him it was okay to go now--that we wanted him to be free. We told him to leave his body and fly out into
the soothing summer rain storm.
As soon as we spoke those words, Paul’s
breathing changed. He took one long peaceful sigh, and his spirit left his body. I saw it leave as clearly as you can see
your hand in front of your face. It was an image I’ll never forget. It was Paul’s gift to me.
I could never again doubt the spirit world or my ability to see it. That final moment was a confirmation of what I
was here to do. I realized for the first time that we are all in charge of how and when we die – even how and when we
take our last breaths. And I knew with every cell in my body, that death was only a passage of the spirit into the unseen
realms.
A few years later, my best childhood girlfriend died after a two-year
bout with Leukemia, and my father died one month after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Though I wasn’t able to be
with either of them when they died, they both appeared and spoke to me at the moment of crossing over.
By this time, I was clear beyond all
doubt that we are spiritual beings having a human experience – rather than the other way around.Today, I'm abundantly
grateful for my work, which is my passion. My intuitive gifts are finally out of the closet, and I'm freely sharing them
with others. The images and dreams that have always guided me are now guiding others through this work. I'd love to help
you find your path. To schedule a session - email Sue@BrilliantWork.com or call 303-939-8574 or click here to get started now...
"Sue,
thank you so much for our session yesterday. My wife has already been brainstorming with me about the things we discussed
and she was quite amazed and touched by the insights you had about her path (and us together). I also talked about our session
with a close friend and colleague, and he was intrigued and will book a session with you soon. I will keep in touch as things
develop. Thank you for the gift of you." R. P. Neumann - New York City
