The Orb, The Fish, and the Marriage

INTERIORWERX SUCCESS STORIES
Pain, Clues and Healing · Outcomes Worth Sharing
What if the strange things happening around us aren't random—but clues?
A colleague in Las Vegas called me with an unusual question.
“Susan, have you ever worked on an energy orb?”
I hadn't.
But I was about to.
The story involved a happily married couple who had lived together for many years. They were responsible, communicative and deeply committed to one another.
Yet something unexplained had begun happening inside their home.
Lights that had been switched off would mysteriously be on when they returned.
Their automatic fireplace would activate itself, even though neither of them had touched it.
And then something far more troubling began to happen.
Their exotic fish started dying.
The husband investigated everything he could think of.
Water quality. Temperature. Filtration. Chemical balance.
Nothing explained the losses.
Then the couple reviewed footage from their home security camera.
And there it was.
A small glowing orb, approximately the size of a softball, bouncing and dancing through their recreation room.
Now they had a mystery.
And they wanted answers.
Looking Beyond the Obvious
When I arrived at their Las Vegas home, I met with both husband and wife.
My work with InteriorWerx is based on a simple principle:
When something isn't making sense, look for the clues.
For nearly two decades, my work as an intuitive coach and energy healer has explored the connections between our emotional lives, physical experiences, relationships and environments.
Sometimes the explanation for a problem is exactly where we expect it to be.
Sometimes it isn't.
Before looking for a solution, I wanted to understand the people involved.
How long had they known each other?
What was their relationship like?
How was the marriage?
As they answered, something became immediately clear.
This was a loving partnership built on mutual respect and admiration.
There was no obvious conflict.
No hidden resentment emerged.
No relationship crisis presented itself.
So I began walking through their home with a simple intention:
Show me what needs to be understood.
Then the Message Came
As I moved through the house, I received a clear intuitive message:
Ask them to be more playful.
Then came another piece:
The way they were in the beginning.
That was it.
Playfulness.
Not marriage counseling.
Not another electrical inspection.
Not another adjustment to the aquarium.
Play.
I turned to the couple and gave them what was probably one of the strangest assignments they had ever received.
For three days, I asked them to deliberately practice being playful with one another.
Tickle each other.
Wrestle.
Sneak up and say, “Boo!”
Laugh.
Be ridiculous.
Stop being responsible adults for a little while.
And remember how they used to enjoy each other.
What If the Orb Was the Clue?
I then shared what I intuitively perceived.
The orb did not seem threatening to me.
Instead, I interpreted its movement as a message.
It was bouncing through the house because something in their relationship needed to bounce again.
Life had become responsible.
Predictable.
Adult.
They loved each other deeply—but somewhere along the way, they may have forgotten the lighter energy that had once been part of their connection.
The orb appeared playful.
And playfulness was precisely what they were being asked to rediscover.
Whether someone interprets an experience like this spiritually, energetically, psychologically or simply as an unexplained coincidence, what happened next is what made the experience memorable.
Three Days of Play
I asked the couple to complete their assignment and report back to me in one week.
They did.
And when I heard from them, the strange activity had stopped.
The lights stayed off.
The fireplace stopped turning itself on.
The remaining fish were healthy.
Their home had returned to normal.
And the couple had rediscovered something important in the process:
each other at play.
Sometimes the Problem Isn't Where the Answer Lives
What fascinates me most about this experience isn't whether we can definitively explain the orb.
It's what the experience revealed.
We naturally want to solve problems at the level where they appear.
A light behaves strangely? Check the electrical system.
A fireplace turns itself on? Check the controls.
Fish begin dying? Check the aquarium.
A relationship feels different? Analyze the relationship.
Those are reasonable places to begin.
But in my work with intuitive healing, emotional wellness and the mind-body connection, I have repeatedly encountered another possibility:
Human challenges are not always resolved at the level where they first appear.
Sometimes the clue appears in the body.
Sometimes it appears through an emotion.
Sometimes it appears through a relationship.
Sometimes it appears through an unexpected event that makes us stop and pay attention.
And apparently, sometimes...
it bounces across the room in the form of an orb.
The InteriorWerx Approach
InteriorWerx is about following clues when conventional explanations don't seem to tell the whole story.
My work combines intuitive coaching, emotional intelligence, energy healing and whole-being wellness to explore what may be underneath persistent patterns, physical discomfort, emotional stress, relationship challenges and other experiences that don't seem to have clear answers.
This isn't about asking you to believe someone else's interpretation.
It's about becoming curious enough to ask:
What am I not seeing yet?
Because sometimes the smallest clue opens the door to an entirely different solution.
For this couple, the answer wasn't found in the electrical system, the fireplace controls or the aquarium.
It was found in play.
And that was my first experience working with an orb.
Or perhaps more accurately...
my first experience being taught by one.
What clue has been trying to get your attention?
If you're dealing with a physical, emotional, relationship or life challenge that doesn't seem to have a clear solution, there may be another layer worth exploring.
I offer a complimentary new-client consultation to discuss what's happening, what you've already tried and whether the InteriorWerx approach may be appropriate for you.
