So welcome to the show today,
00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:45.490
Dr. Anna Marie.
00:00:46.051 --> 00:00:48.231
I really just want to kind
00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:49.991
of dive right in here to
00:00:50.031 --> 00:00:51.631
your background and what
00:00:51.671 --> 00:00:53.991
called you specifically to
00:00:54.091 --> 00:00:54.792
really branch into
00:00:54.832 --> 00:00:56.993
integrative health and as a naturopath.
00:00:57.796 --> 00:00:58.677
Yeah, thank you.
00:00:58.718 --> 00:00:59.719
Thanks for having me on.
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:00.820
Well,
00:01:01.161 --> 00:01:05.007
my journey essentially started when I
00:01:05.027 --> 00:01:05.927
was in high school.
00:01:06.308 --> 00:01:08.251
I struggled with depression,
00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:10.834
but back then I didn't know
00:01:10.855 --> 00:01:11.536
what to call it.
00:01:11.555 --> 00:01:12.617
I didn't
00:01:12.697 --> 00:01:14.138
Didn't feel right inside.
00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.441
And on the outside,
00:01:16.522 --> 00:01:18.243
everything looked great.
00:01:18.424 --> 00:01:19.686
I was an athlete.
00:01:20.126 --> 00:01:23.390
I had a roof over my head.
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:24.772
I got good grades.
00:01:25.393 --> 00:01:27.034
And so there was this dark
00:01:27.075 --> 00:01:28.495
secret inside of me that I
00:01:28.537 --> 00:01:29.697
wasn't happy about.
00:01:29.957 --> 00:01:32.198
And I didn't really know
00:01:32.218 --> 00:01:34.379
where that came from for a while.
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.421
And then I graduated,
00:01:36.462 --> 00:01:37.402
went on to university.
00:01:37.462 --> 00:01:39.003
I thought, oh, fresh start.
00:01:39.143 --> 00:01:41.924
Like this is going to solve everything,
00:01:42.063 --> 00:01:42.364
right?
00:01:42.424 --> 00:01:43.765
I can reinvent myself.
00:01:43.844 --> 00:01:44.945
I can go to college.
00:01:45.775 --> 00:01:46.956
And my mental health
00:01:46.975 --> 00:01:49.236
continued to go on a
00:01:49.277 --> 00:01:50.576
downward spiral in college.
00:01:51.576 --> 00:01:52.658
Once I graduated,
00:01:52.977 --> 00:01:54.698
I decided to move across
00:01:54.718 --> 00:01:56.879
the country from Michigan to California.
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:57.620
Now,
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.861
this was the opportunity for me to
00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:02.182
feel better inside, as I told myself.
00:02:03.081 --> 00:02:05.605
And what I found in my early twenties,
00:02:05.745 --> 00:02:07.007
as I sat in a
00:02:07.067 --> 00:02:08.750
psychiatrist's office and
00:02:08.770 --> 00:02:09.671
got put on three mind
00:02:09.692 --> 00:02:11.614
altering medications within
00:02:11.653 --> 00:02:12.656
fifteen minutes,
00:02:13.977 --> 00:02:15.780
I really spiraled out from there.
00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:17.562
So medications did not work for me.
00:02:18.342 --> 00:02:20.185
And through that journey and
00:02:20.305 --> 00:02:21.825
realizing that I was the
00:02:21.945 --> 00:02:23.427
only person that can
00:02:23.527 --> 00:02:25.068
actually heal myself and
00:02:25.088 --> 00:02:26.090
make myself happy,
00:02:26.631 --> 00:02:28.711
I set forth on a journey to figure out,
00:02:28.771 --> 00:02:29.212
I thought, you know,
00:02:29.233 --> 00:02:30.454
if you can rewire a computer,
00:02:30.493 --> 00:02:32.155
we could rewire our brains, right?
00:02:32.716 --> 00:02:34.737
And so I started diving into
00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:37.280
natural remedies, holistic health,
00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:38.520
naturopathy, and
00:02:38.901 --> 00:02:39.920
energy healing.
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:42.421
And I just ultimately just
00:02:42.442 --> 00:02:44.042
started layering in
00:02:44.603 --> 00:02:46.943
different practices that
00:02:47.122 --> 00:02:49.383
helped heal my brain and heal my body.
00:02:50.163 --> 00:02:52.944
And so that's kind of it in a nutshell.
00:02:53.025 --> 00:02:55.185
But I got here on purpose
00:02:56.225 --> 00:02:58.265
due to my own struggles in my life.
00:02:58.545 --> 00:03:00.486
And now I get to help others that...
00:03:01.127 --> 00:03:01.326
you know,
00:03:01.347 --> 00:03:02.326
hopefully they don't have to take
00:03:02.347 --> 00:03:04.008
a decade of their life to
00:03:04.108 --> 00:03:06.788
figure it out or longer, um,
00:03:06.848 --> 00:03:07.927
and help them help them
00:03:07.948 --> 00:03:08.907
start the healing process.
00:03:08.927 --> 00:03:11.669
Cause I believe we all can heal ourselves.
00:03:11.908 --> 00:03:12.669
So when I first got the
00:03:12.709 --> 00:03:14.329
opportunity to have you on the show,
00:03:14.628 --> 00:03:16.969
I was like, yes, a hundred percent.
00:03:16.990 --> 00:03:17.189
Yes.
00:03:17.270 --> 00:03:18.710
Because, um,
00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:20.830
this has been my journey and
00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:21.971
along the path,
00:03:22.251 --> 00:03:23.931
finding professionals that
00:03:23.971 --> 00:03:25.931
have the background, the experience,
00:03:26.211 --> 00:03:28.431
their own personal experience as well,
00:03:29.032 --> 00:03:30.151
with medications just not
00:03:30.192 --> 00:03:30.872
working for them.
00:03:31.552 --> 00:03:32.712
And having that credibility,
00:03:33.193 --> 00:03:34.592
that's been really challenging.
00:03:34.633 --> 00:03:35.873
And now it's changing now.
00:03:35.973 --> 00:03:37.133
Like, you know, ten years,
00:03:37.174 --> 00:03:38.153
twenty years later down
00:03:38.193 --> 00:03:39.713
through this journey, it's changing now.
00:03:40.354 --> 00:03:41.615
I'll just briefly share with you guys,
00:03:42.055 --> 00:03:42.735
a lot of people who have
00:03:42.754 --> 00:03:44.055
listened to the podcast hear this story,
00:03:44.074 --> 00:03:45.036
but I was medicated
00:03:45.895 --> 00:03:47.135
numerous times and I'm very
00:03:47.195 --> 00:03:48.096
sensitive to medications.
00:03:48.116 --> 00:03:48.816
I'm also a medium,
00:03:48.876 --> 00:03:50.217
so I'm sensitive to substances,
00:03:50.236 --> 00:03:51.097
I'm sensitive to energy,
00:03:51.137 --> 00:03:51.877
I'm just sensitive.
00:03:52.377 --> 00:03:53.479
And for my journey,
00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.501
it was a lot going and just
00:03:55.540 --> 00:03:56.641
trying to figure it out.
00:03:56.822 --> 00:03:58.402
And so someone like you in
00:03:58.443 --> 00:03:59.444
this day and age where so
00:03:59.465 --> 00:04:00.705
many people are medicated,
00:04:00.746 --> 00:04:02.227
so many people are seeking
00:04:02.568 --> 00:04:04.068
alternative solutions.
00:04:04.128 --> 00:04:04.629
And I know we're going to
00:04:04.669 --> 00:04:06.651
talk a little about ADD as well today.
00:04:07.132 --> 00:04:08.674
So I'm really excited to get to that.
00:04:08.734 --> 00:04:11.216
But I'm curious, like along your journey.
00:04:12.076 --> 00:04:13.518
your personal journey for you?
00:04:13.638 --> 00:04:14.758
Were there any milestones
00:04:14.798 --> 00:04:16.538
for you that related to
00:04:16.559 --> 00:04:17.418
your cognitive mental
00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:20.201
health that drove you and say, okay, now,
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:21.240
this milestone,
00:04:21.841 --> 00:04:23.341
I'm done here in this part
00:04:23.382 --> 00:04:24.242
of the depression,
00:04:24.283 --> 00:04:25.822
or this part of the learning,
00:04:26.023 --> 00:04:27.384
you had learning disabilities,
00:04:27.543 --> 00:04:28.625
and you were working with
00:04:29.045 --> 00:04:29.725
learning challenges,
00:04:29.785 --> 00:04:30.886
and you're working with ADD.
00:04:31.466 --> 00:04:32.706
What were the milestones for
00:04:32.745 --> 00:04:34.387
you that you sort of just
00:04:34.586 --> 00:04:35.567
kind of connect that you
00:04:35.588 --> 00:04:36.728
could start to work with
00:04:36.788 --> 00:04:38.408
and help other people along the journey?
00:04:39.557 --> 00:04:40.757
Well, first,
00:04:41.096 --> 00:04:42.778
it was the realization that
00:04:42.838 --> 00:04:44.858
nothing's wrong with me.
00:04:44.978 --> 00:04:46.399
It's just the way I wound up
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.459
being and really
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.699
recognizing that I am smart,
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.000
I am intelligent,
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:54.339
and my brain just works
00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:55.221
differently than other
00:04:55.261 --> 00:04:59.762
people's and embracing my own unique,
00:05:00.081 --> 00:05:01.201
I'll say weirdness,
00:05:01.521 --> 00:05:03.463
because my kids will say, you're weird,
00:05:03.502 --> 00:05:03.663
mom.
00:05:03.682 --> 00:05:04.642
I'm like, thank you.
00:05:04.802 --> 00:05:05.043
Yeah.
00:05:05.990 --> 00:05:08.310
So I'm definitely different.
00:05:09.091 --> 00:05:11.471
And the biggest milestone
00:05:11.672 --> 00:05:15.353
was forgiving myself for my past as well.
00:05:15.452 --> 00:05:16.834
So when we're not mentally well,
00:05:16.874 --> 00:05:19.975
we choose to do things that are not well.
00:05:20.535 --> 00:05:20.894
Right.
00:05:20.935 --> 00:05:23.055
So, you know, people say, well,
00:05:23.096 --> 00:05:24.216
love yourself, love yourself.
00:05:24.237 --> 00:05:24.357
Well,
00:05:24.377 --> 00:05:25.596
how are you supposed to love yourself
00:05:25.617 --> 00:05:27.317
when you're not doing lovable things?
00:05:27.937 --> 00:05:29.798
for yourself to yourself.
00:05:30.538 --> 00:05:32.819
And so once I forgave myself
00:05:32.858 --> 00:05:34.980
from my past and I realized that,
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:37.360
you know, the things I've done in my past,
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.521
where I came from, um,
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.802
mistakes I've made do not define me.
00:05:42.341 --> 00:05:43.442
And I chose to take the
00:05:43.541 --> 00:05:44.983
lessons extracted from
00:05:45.043 --> 00:05:46.843
those moments and leave the
00:05:46.923 --> 00:05:48.382
emotions in my past and
00:05:48.403 --> 00:05:50.504
just move forward with those lessons.
00:05:51.204 --> 00:05:53.704
I started to feel lighter inside.
00:05:53.764 --> 00:05:53.845
Um,
00:05:55.146 --> 00:05:56.346
And so that was a big thing.
00:05:56.406 --> 00:05:57.947
So forgiveness to myself and
00:05:57.987 --> 00:05:59.410
letting go of the past and
00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:02.132
not allowing it to shape my future.
00:06:02.252 --> 00:06:04.314
And then I actually had
00:06:04.374 --> 00:06:05.894
quite a few run-ins in the
00:06:05.935 --> 00:06:07.175
medical industry.
00:06:09.077 --> 00:06:10.598
As I worked through my depression,
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:12.781
I ended up getting pregnant.
00:06:13.622 --> 00:06:16.362
And I really had a wonderful pregnancy.
00:06:16.723 --> 00:06:18.023
I just,
00:06:18.363 --> 00:06:21.163
it was a beautiful experience until
00:06:21.244 --> 00:06:22.305
I went to give birth.
00:06:22.685 --> 00:06:25.906
And I had a very unsettling
00:06:25.966 --> 00:06:27.706
birthing experience where
00:06:27.726 --> 00:06:28.887
this doctor wanted to
00:06:28.927 --> 00:06:30.526
vacuum my son out of me.
00:06:30.846 --> 00:06:32.067
And I said, no.
00:06:32.307 --> 00:06:33.468
And it was like, well,
00:06:33.507 --> 00:06:34.329
the doctor came in the
00:06:34.348 --> 00:06:36.269
middle of the night to deliver this baby.
00:06:36.548 --> 00:06:37.829
And now you're going to like,
00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:39.949
it was my fault that my son
00:06:40.009 --> 00:06:41.430
wasn't ready to come out.
00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:44.560
And then right after that,
00:06:44.781 --> 00:06:46.961
birthing a child is very traumatic,
00:06:47.461 --> 00:06:48.622
first and foremost.
00:06:48.862 --> 00:06:50.742
It's a beautiful traumatic experience.
00:06:50.762 --> 00:06:52.622
Your body needs time to heal from it.
00:06:53.483 --> 00:06:54.963
And after that,
00:06:55.163 --> 00:06:56.463
when my hormones shifted as
00:06:56.504 --> 00:06:57.384
my milk came in,
00:06:57.983 --> 00:07:00.384
I got postpartum depression
00:07:01.865 --> 00:07:03.964
at such a level of,
00:07:05.245 --> 00:07:06.326
it's like I think back to
00:07:06.346 --> 00:07:07.886
it and I think I was a different person.
00:07:08.865 --> 00:07:11.267
and it scared me um I
00:07:11.307 --> 00:07:12.588
remember I told my my
00:07:12.648 --> 00:07:14.709
husband that there was a
00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:16.370
gun in the hallway closet
00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:18.052
and I said do something
00:07:18.072 --> 00:07:19.252
with that and I started
00:07:19.293 --> 00:07:20.012
crying I'm like I don't
00:07:20.033 --> 00:07:21.634
know what just take it away
00:07:21.713 --> 00:07:22.415
just because I knew it was
00:07:22.435 --> 00:07:24.696
there and it's like I never
00:07:24.735 --> 00:07:25.916
wanted to hurt my child but
00:07:25.956 --> 00:07:28.999
myself and I had to work so
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.420
hard mentally to like be
00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:32.841
like this is just an
00:07:32.901 --> 00:07:35.083
experience this is just an experience
00:07:36.343 --> 00:07:39.007
And then I went to my doctor
00:07:39.346 --> 00:07:40.487
and the thing they offered
00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:41.309
me for postpartum
00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:43.232
depression was an antidepressant.
00:07:43.894 --> 00:07:46.735
And I just remember, I'm like, remember,
00:07:46.834 --> 00:07:48.055
Anna Marie, remember,
00:07:48.095 --> 00:07:50.475
you've been here before, right?
00:07:50.514 --> 00:07:52.276
But when you feel so bad inside,
00:07:52.315 --> 00:07:53.175
you're desperate.
00:07:53.636 --> 00:07:54.576
And so, you know,
00:07:54.615 --> 00:07:55.596
and I've been programmed to
00:07:55.677 --> 00:07:57.797
go to a doctor with a white
00:07:57.836 --> 00:07:59.317
coat and get a pill.
00:07:59.916 --> 00:08:03.458
And so that woke me up even more.
00:08:03.497 --> 00:08:04.658
And I'm like, I will get through this.
00:08:04.697 --> 00:08:06.298
So a lot of mental...
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.500
work I have done.
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:11.540
And so that was another
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.600
reminder of you get to
00:08:13.641 --> 00:08:15.242
choose your health and well-being.
00:08:15.742 --> 00:08:18.142
And yes, these are just experiences.
00:08:19.062 --> 00:08:20.764
And so looking at my life as
00:08:21.824 --> 00:08:24.524
a bunch of experiences versus saying, oh,
00:08:24.584 --> 00:08:26.565
I have so much trauma, right?
00:08:27.086 --> 00:08:28.045
Yeah.
00:08:28.146 --> 00:08:30.987
And so so that's that's a big piece of it.
00:08:31.107 --> 00:08:32.488
And then I got pregnant with
00:08:32.528 --> 00:08:33.888
my daughter and they told
00:08:33.908 --> 00:08:35.009
me that my daughter most
00:08:35.048 --> 00:08:36.369
likely had Down syndrome
00:08:37.009 --> 00:08:38.070
and wanted me to go to a
00:08:38.149 --> 00:08:39.490
geneticist and said I could
00:08:39.529 --> 00:08:40.629
abort her up to twenty
00:08:40.669 --> 00:08:41.951
weeks and just like.
00:08:43.106 --> 00:08:44.727
I have so many stories of
00:08:44.807 --> 00:08:47.250
run-ins and I think I just
00:08:47.269 --> 00:08:49.351
find it interesting and I laugh.
00:08:49.432 --> 00:08:50.552
I'm like, okay, universe,
00:08:50.572 --> 00:08:51.493
you just keep throwing
00:08:51.513 --> 00:08:52.573
these things at me to
00:08:52.634 --> 00:08:55.015
remind me to stay grounded,
00:08:55.615 --> 00:08:57.778
to search for information
00:08:58.077 --> 00:09:00.080
and to stand up for myself.
00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:01.821
And I believe there's a time
00:09:01.841 --> 00:09:02.780
and place for medicine.
00:09:02.821 --> 00:09:03.922
Do not get me wrong.
00:09:04.822 --> 00:09:07.365
But there is also we need to
00:09:07.725 --> 00:09:09.105
make decisions for our health,
00:09:09.326 --> 00:09:11.567
not out of fear, first and foremost.
00:09:11.606 --> 00:09:14.570
And we need to ask why and ask questions.
00:09:15.929 --> 00:09:17.511
And so those have been some
00:09:17.591 --> 00:09:19.312
pretty impactful moments in
00:09:19.373 --> 00:09:22.235
my life in terms of my mental health,
00:09:22.315 --> 00:09:25.437
but really recognizing to let the past go,
00:09:25.517 --> 00:09:27.597
forgive myself and realize
00:09:27.638 --> 00:09:29.178
that every single thing
00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:31.740
that we take into our lives,
00:09:32.020 --> 00:09:33.341
what we choose to see,
00:09:33.880 --> 00:09:35.321
what we choose to smell,
00:09:35.541 --> 00:09:37.062
what we choose to taste,
00:09:37.121 --> 00:09:37.922
put in our bodies,
00:09:37.961 --> 00:09:39.402
what we choose to listen to,
00:09:39.741 --> 00:09:40.942
who we choose to hug,
00:09:41.702 --> 00:09:43.403
our environment that we choose to be in,
00:09:43.442 --> 00:09:44.342
are we outside?
00:09:45.163 --> 00:09:46.864
All of that is downloading
00:09:46.984 --> 00:09:49.384
information into our being,
00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:50.565
into our auric field.
00:09:51.721 --> 00:09:52.600
And if you're not paying
00:09:52.642 --> 00:09:54.001
attention to the downloads,
00:09:54.341 --> 00:09:55.383
you are going to be getting
00:09:55.623 --> 00:09:57.364
downloaded information that
00:09:57.403 --> 00:09:58.705
is not serving your highest
00:09:58.764 --> 00:10:00.024
good for you to live a true
00:10:00.044 --> 00:10:01.046
and authentic life.
00:10:01.745 --> 00:10:03.027
And so that's another piece
00:10:03.067 --> 00:10:04.107
that I started to wake up
00:10:04.168 --> 00:10:05.828
to versus letting being
00:10:05.869 --> 00:10:08.389
reactive in life to be in
00:10:08.570 --> 00:10:10.331
action with life and be in
00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:12.272
the present moment with life.
00:10:13.945 --> 00:10:15.326
I love that you were really
00:10:15.386 --> 00:10:16.947
sharing how much that your
00:10:17.269 --> 00:10:18.769
process and your journey
00:10:18.789 --> 00:10:20.131
was just an experience.
00:10:20.673 --> 00:10:23.716
I think disconnecting the shame, the fear,
00:10:23.936 --> 00:10:24.616
the stigma,
00:10:24.976 --> 00:10:27.179
these kind of like this
00:10:27.299 --> 00:10:28.301
energetic signature,
00:10:28.942 --> 00:10:30.744
we have an idea of mental illness,
00:10:30.783 --> 00:10:32.446
we have then along with those ideas,
00:10:32.485 --> 00:10:33.647
there's layers of feelings,
00:10:33.667 --> 00:10:35.269
there's layers of associations that
00:10:35.788 --> 00:10:38.032
We in our culture,
00:10:38.072 --> 00:10:39.975
in movies and what we've learned, again,
00:10:39.995 --> 00:10:40.655
this is all the things
00:10:40.676 --> 00:10:41.437
you're saying that's coming
00:10:41.476 --> 00:10:42.357
into our arc field that
00:10:42.378 --> 00:10:43.360
we're just absorbing and
00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.280
it's just there on the
00:10:44.380 --> 00:10:46.423
unconscious where we're not aware of it.
00:10:46.464 --> 00:10:49.086
And it's just that's how our perception,
00:10:49.167 --> 00:10:51.429
our worldview, our identity,
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:53.253
we potentially identify with that.
00:10:53.692 --> 00:10:55.014
a mental health diagnosis.
00:10:55.374 --> 00:10:56.715
And I think the biggest step
00:10:56.774 --> 00:10:58.836
to help people understand
00:10:58.875 --> 00:11:00.157
the separate that is so powerful.
00:11:00.177 --> 00:11:01.037
And then you did that work.
00:11:01.397 --> 00:11:02.298
And the surrendering work
00:11:02.337 --> 00:11:05.418
itself is the most challenging,
00:11:05.499 --> 00:11:07.320
almost ongoing process, I think,
00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:08.160
for some people.
00:11:08.581 --> 00:11:09.421
And some people never really
00:11:09.441 --> 00:11:10.621
have the tools or resources
00:11:10.682 --> 00:11:12.043
or the awareness to be able to get there.
00:11:12.503 --> 00:11:13.683
but I always tell people
00:11:13.703 --> 00:11:14.924
like you know it's isn't it
00:11:14.965 --> 00:11:16.886
interesting that with a
00:11:16.947 --> 00:11:18.168
physiological health issue
00:11:18.207 --> 00:11:19.268
we don't have so much shame
00:11:19.308 --> 00:11:20.109
around it like if we're
00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:21.629
diabetic and you're like oh
00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:22.931
I have to take insulin you
00:11:22.951 --> 00:11:23.951
know and maybe that person
00:11:23.991 --> 00:11:24.972
has to for their particular
00:11:25.212 --> 00:11:26.774
journey there's no attached
00:11:26.815 --> 00:11:29.316
shame necessarily and same
00:11:29.336 --> 00:11:30.037
thing if you twist your
00:11:30.116 --> 00:11:31.477
ankle you know it's not
00:11:31.498 --> 00:11:33.058
like oh my gosh I am you
00:11:33.078 --> 00:11:34.299
know a horrible person all
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.163
these layers of that don't get piled on
00:11:37.883 --> 00:11:40.264
So I just find that really,
00:11:40.283 --> 00:11:40.984
really interesting.
00:11:41.484 --> 00:11:42.724
Now, you're, of course,
00:11:42.744 --> 00:11:44.445
we're talking so much about
00:11:44.965 --> 00:11:46.144
the information that's
00:11:46.164 --> 00:11:47.225
coming in and how you're
00:11:47.245 --> 00:11:49.605
assimilating it in your being.
00:11:50.485 --> 00:11:52.567
When did you first realize
00:11:52.606 --> 00:11:53.667
that there was a connection
00:11:53.947 --> 00:11:55.268
between the mind and body?
00:11:55.508 --> 00:11:56.587
When did that start for you?
00:11:56.668 --> 00:11:57.548
And then how did that
00:11:57.587 --> 00:11:58.708
progress with in working
00:11:58.729 --> 00:11:59.609
with your clients?
00:12:01.057 --> 00:12:01.337
Well,
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.360
I started to realize that when I
00:12:04.421 --> 00:12:06.803
chose to look at the positive,
00:12:07.083 --> 00:12:07.825
I felt better.
00:12:08.125 --> 00:12:09.145
It was that simple.
00:12:09.687 --> 00:12:10.607
When I chose,
00:12:10.888 --> 00:12:12.549
like I would be the person
00:12:12.570 --> 00:12:13.890
that would show up and
00:12:13.931 --> 00:12:15.011
complain about everything
00:12:15.032 --> 00:12:15.812
that went wrong on my
00:12:15.852 --> 00:12:16.693
morning drive to work.
00:12:18.191 --> 00:12:19.451
And that was exhausting.
00:12:20.371 --> 00:12:21.413
And so when I started to
00:12:21.452 --> 00:12:23.313
just like not complain
00:12:23.594 --> 00:12:26.336
about the things that in my
00:12:26.375 --> 00:12:27.277
life that seemed
00:12:27.317 --> 00:12:29.038
challenging or that I didn't like,
00:12:29.638 --> 00:12:31.418
I started to just view what was good.
00:12:31.479 --> 00:12:32.460
So it's really that
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.260
gratitude practice because our mind,
00:12:35.400 --> 00:12:36.081
our brains are very
00:12:36.142 --> 00:12:37.962
powerful and they will
00:12:38.082 --> 00:12:39.583
actually filter out
00:12:39.844 --> 00:12:42.326
everything to see the very
00:12:42.365 --> 00:12:43.105
thing you're telling your
00:12:43.125 --> 00:12:44.606
brain to look for, right?
00:12:45.147 --> 00:12:47.327
And we're programmed to look for danger.
00:12:47.408 --> 00:12:48.649
This is why we always go to
00:12:48.668 --> 00:12:49.490
the negative first,
00:12:49.509 --> 00:12:50.509
because this is a survival
00:12:50.549 --> 00:12:52.831
mechanism that is instilled in our being.
00:12:54.231 --> 00:12:56.753
But majority of people don't
00:12:56.793 --> 00:13:00.215
have to live in survival mode anymore.
00:13:00.774 --> 00:13:02.735
And so it was making a
00:13:02.796 --> 00:13:04.057
conscious choice to look
00:13:04.076 --> 00:13:07.099
for what was good and then
00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:10.259
allowing myself to see that.
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:12.581
And I physically started to feel better.
00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:15.181
And then I started to,
00:13:15.381 --> 00:13:18.543
I learned about Dr. Emoto's work with,
00:13:18.624 --> 00:13:19.504
if you've ever heard of him,
00:13:19.544 --> 00:13:21.427
I'm sure you have, with, you know,
00:13:21.486 --> 00:13:23.448
the consciousness of water.
00:13:24.168 --> 00:13:25.429
And with that experiment,
00:13:25.470 --> 00:13:27.392
he proved that water has consciousness,
00:13:27.491 --> 00:13:31.975
meaning that you can say words to water,
00:13:32.115 --> 00:13:33.837
love, love, love, love,
00:13:33.918 --> 00:13:36.179
and that water will actually vibrate and
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:37.941
at B with beautiful crystals,
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.480
it'll form beautiful crystals.
00:13:39.841 --> 00:13:41.562
Um, if you freeze that water,
00:13:41.662 --> 00:13:42.741
and then if you have water
00:13:42.782 --> 00:13:45.844
that is spoken to with negative words,
00:13:46.484 --> 00:13:49.504
then that water freezes in a darker,
00:13:49.725 --> 00:13:50.826
more chaotic form.
00:13:50.846 --> 00:13:50.946
Um,
00:13:52.025 --> 00:13:54.206
the other thing is you look at plants
00:13:54.326 --> 00:13:55.187
and I started learning
00:13:55.226 --> 00:13:56.607
about plants and there was
00:13:56.628 --> 00:13:59.869
this really cool exercise that, um,
00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:00.828
I don't even remember the school.
00:14:00.869 --> 00:14:01.450
It was a school.
00:14:01.509 --> 00:14:02.590
I saw this video on YouTube
00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:04.971
and it really made an impact in my mind.
00:14:05.974 --> 00:14:07.154
And what they did is they
00:14:07.195 --> 00:14:09.256
had like a foyer where there was,
00:14:09.918 --> 00:14:10.278
you know,
00:14:10.599 --> 00:14:14.081
glass and there was essentially
00:14:14.121 --> 00:14:15.442
the same lighting that came
00:14:15.482 --> 00:14:17.105
through and they had two boxes,
00:14:17.865 --> 00:14:19.447
one box of glass that had a
00:14:19.486 --> 00:14:20.648
plant in it and the second
00:14:20.668 --> 00:14:21.989
box of glass that had a plant in it.
00:14:22.929 --> 00:14:24.931
Both boxes had the same soil,
00:14:24.971 --> 00:14:25.991
the same plant,
00:14:26.072 --> 00:14:28.013
like everything identical.
00:14:28.552 --> 00:14:29.514
They had microphones that
00:14:29.553 --> 00:14:30.554
went to each plant.
00:14:31.235 --> 00:14:32.076
The one microphone,
00:14:32.096 --> 00:14:32.895
kids could only say
00:14:32.956 --> 00:14:34.496
positive affirmations to it,
00:14:34.537 --> 00:14:35.317
positive things.
00:14:35.738 --> 00:14:36.557
The other plant,
00:14:36.738 --> 00:14:37.639
kids could only say
00:14:37.719 --> 00:14:38.720
negative things or tell all
00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:39.539
their problems to.
00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:41.100
Within thirty days,
00:14:41.721 --> 00:14:43.081
the plant that was spoken
00:14:43.121 --> 00:14:44.582
to with all the negative
00:14:44.623 --> 00:14:46.004
things and all the problems
00:14:46.203 --> 00:14:47.585
started to wither and die.
00:14:48.625 --> 00:14:50.086
And so if our bodies are
00:14:50.167 --> 00:14:51.626
mostly made up of water,
00:14:52.788 --> 00:14:53.629
What do you think your
00:14:53.688 --> 00:14:55.190
thoughts and your words are
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:56.990
doing to your biochemical makeup?
00:14:57.610 --> 00:14:58.871
So that's what I started to
00:14:58.912 --> 00:14:59.812
really study energy
00:14:59.852 --> 00:15:00.773
medicine and started to
00:15:00.854 --> 00:15:03.534
realize like the words that I speak,
00:15:03.775 --> 00:15:05.096
the thoughts that I have
00:15:05.235 --> 00:15:06.677
are incredibly powerful.
00:15:07.418 --> 00:15:08.918
And that really started to
00:15:08.979 --> 00:15:10.419
wake me up and started for
00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.280
me to start shifting.
00:15:12.721 --> 00:15:14.403
I would catch myself with, you know,
00:15:14.423 --> 00:15:16.703
we all have that background of downloads.
00:15:16.903 --> 00:15:17.705
I'm not good enough.
00:15:17.764 --> 00:15:19.166
That's not available to me.
00:15:19.245 --> 00:15:20.366
People don't like me.
00:15:20.486 --> 00:15:20.687
I mean,
00:15:21.466 --> 00:15:23.408
I have all of these programs
00:15:23.567 --> 00:15:25.308
into my subconscious.
00:15:26.169 --> 00:15:27.971
And every time I consciously
00:15:28.130 --> 00:15:30.392
override that and remind my subconscious,
00:15:30.451 --> 00:15:31.812
yes, but this is not true,
00:15:32.932 --> 00:15:34.333
that it frees you.
00:15:34.474 --> 00:15:35.835
Your body feels lighter.
00:15:35.894 --> 00:15:36.695
You feel better.
00:15:36.794 --> 00:15:40.057
So that mind-body, that is a real thing.
00:15:40.096 --> 00:15:41.376
You can think yourself ill
00:15:41.417 --> 00:15:42.778
and you can think yourself healthy.
00:15:43.278 --> 00:15:45.919
I believe all dis-ease starts in the mind.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.160
And we're all mental,
00:15:48.221 --> 00:15:49.782
so that's why good health matters.
00:15:50.322 --> 00:15:51.682
So you got to do the things.
00:15:52.984 --> 00:15:53.163
Yeah.
00:15:53.224 --> 00:15:53.724
I think it's,
00:15:53.903 --> 00:15:55.725
it's definitely something to say if,
00:15:56.265 --> 00:15:57.265
you know, if you're thinking about,
00:15:57.285 --> 00:15:58.006
I want to point out about
00:15:58.047 --> 00:16:00.087
the plants because I think
00:16:00.648 --> 00:16:01.828
I love this interesting
00:16:02.048 --> 00:16:03.289
transition we have with our,
00:16:03.649 --> 00:16:07.692
our society now where we have been so, um,
00:16:07.731 --> 00:16:10.033
left brain science oriented, logical,
00:16:10.374 --> 00:16:10.994
structured,
00:16:11.153 --> 00:16:14.817
oriented to physical proof and, and this,
00:16:14.836 --> 00:16:14.876
um,
00:16:15.897 --> 00:16:17.217
awareness that we have more
00:16:17.258 --> 00:16:18.577
than this that side of our
00:16:18.758 --> 00:16:19.938
brain and you know even I'd
00:16:19.958 --> 00:16:21.058
extend it beyond that like
00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:22.019
you know we only have a
00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:25.541
specific gray matter and
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.261
the way that our brain
00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:27.481
operates for specific
00:16:27.581 --> 00:16:29.143
orienting us to five senses
00:16:29.403 --> 00:16:30.383
now as a medium I'm always
00:16:30.423 --> 00:16:31.543
like there's so much more
00:16:31.604 --> 00:16:33.105
to yeah consciousness and
00:16:33.644 --> 00:16:34.345
and when people are
00:16:34.384 --> 00:16:35.926
skeptical about it I I you
00:16:35.946 --> 00:16:37.466
know I accept that they're
00:16:37.527 --> 00:16:38.486
operating from that place
00:16:38.506 --> 00:16:39.287
in awareness so that's
00:16:39.386 --> 00:16:40.368
there's no needing to fight
00:16:40.408 --> 00:16:41.668
it right but I kind of
00:16:41.707 --> 00:16:42.308
point out the whole thing
00:16:42.349 --> 00:16:44.750
with the plants like plants don't have
00:16:45.350 --> 00:16:47.010
a conscious awareness of
00:16:47.150 --> 00:16:48.971
what we as humans deem to
00:16:49.011 --> 00:16:50.652
be quote unquote negative or positive.
00:16:50.692 --> 00:16:50.871
You know,
00:16:50.912 --> 00:16:53.072
we create that polarity of judging.
00:16:53.092 --> 00:16:53.974
That's a negative thought or
00:16:53.994 --> 00:16:54.854
that's a positive thought
00:16:54.874 --> 00:16:55.553
of what they're saying,
00:16:55.615 --> 00:16:56.534
of the kids we're sharing.
00:16:57.215 --> 00:16:58.456
But I love kind of bringing
00:16:58.475 --> 00:17:00.277
it back to energy medicine and
00:17:01.456 --> 00:17:04.459
the loving thoughts are, they're coherent.
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.221
They bring together, they combine,
00:17:06.260 --> 00:17:07.020
they connect.
00:17:07.501 --> 00:17:09.383
And that's what we feel within ourselves.
00:17:09.442 --> 00:17:10.644
I think when we're in that space,
00:17:10.663 --> 00:17:11.924
when you're overriding your programs,
00:17:11.964 --> 00:17:12.105
right?
00:17:12.125 --> 00:17:13.486
You're feeling connected to yourself.
00:17:13.506 --> 00:17:14.326
You're feeling coherent.
00:17:14.346 --> 00:17:15.487
You're feeling connected to others.
00:17:15.507 --> 00:17:16.307
There's no judgment.
00:17:16.748 --> 00:17:17.608
And the opposite is true
00:17:17.648 --> 00:17:19.630
with what we would label as negative,
00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:20.691
where we start to
00:17:20.750 --> 00:17:21.951
disconnect from ourselves,
00:17:21.991 --> 00:17:23.012
disconnect from each other,
00:17:23.133 --> 00:17:24.534
creating a separation.
00:17:24.614 --> 00:17:26.635
And with the Masairo Moto thing,
00:17:27.296 --> 00:17:30.057
Isn't it so cool to see with the negative,
00:17:30.479 --> 00:17:32.019
the kind of the disoriented
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.621
music that's being played or the words,
00:17:34.001 --> 00:17:35.061
the water molecules and the
00:17:35.082 --> 00:17:37.104
crystals become, like you said, chaotic,
00:17:37.144 --> 00:17:38.986
they become disoriented and disconnected,
00:17:39.026 --> 00:17:40.267
not coherent and connected.
00:17:41.688 --> 00:17:43.068
So like those two things,
00:17:43.209 --> 00:17:44.990
as we continue this conversation here,
00:17:45.451 --> 00:17:46.872
coherence or disconnection,
00:17:47.152 --> 00:17:48.153
I'd like the audience to
00:17:48.173 --> 00:17:49.034
keep those in the back of
00:17:49.054 --> 00:17:50.634
their mind because I feel
00:17:50.654 --> 00:17:51.675
like it kind of stems from
00:17:51.715 --> 00:17:53.557
that as the foundation for all of this.
00:17:54.357 --> 00:17:56.119
um but I know we kind of
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.020
shared here a little bit
00:17:57.060 --> 00:17:57.902
you shared the things that
00:17:57.922 --> 00:17:58.882
you learned along the way
00:17:59.123 --> 00:18:00.683
for how thoughts shape our
00:18:00.723 --> 00:18:02.766
health um is there any
00:18:02.846 --> 00:18:04.007
other things related to
00:18:04.126 --> 00:18:05.469
that topic any science or
00:18:05.528 --> 00:18:06.348
research you'd like to
00:18:06.369 --> 00:18:07.951
share anything with that
00:18:08.010 --> 00:18:09.192
mind body awareness that
00:18:09.471 --> 00:18:10.353
you didn't mention already
00:18:10.393 --> 00:18:11.354
with the plants and the
00:18:11.374 --> 00:18:13.036
maseromoto and our
00:18:13.076 --> 00:18:14.477
programming subconscious
00:18:15.018 --> 00:18:16.118
that you find very fascinating
00:18:16.903 --> 00:18:17.844
Yeah, well,
00:18:17.923 --> 00:18:20.085
I think that I want to point
00:18:20.164 --> 00:18:22.306
out one thing about the
00:18:22.346 --> 00:18:24.307
brain that I think a lot of
00:18:24.326 --> 00:18:26.868
people can relate to is we
00:18:26.929 --> 00:18:28.068
all went through that whole
00:18:28.109 --> 00:18:31.171
period of the fear around COVID, right?
00:18:32.251 --> 00:18:35.032
So when we get put in a
00:18:35.134 --> 00:18:38.154
state of high fight or flight fear,
00:18:39.336 --> 00:18:41.477
and this was pushed on
00:18:41.777 --> 00:18:43.097
every single one of us,
00:18:43.117 --> 00:18:44.179
I don't think anyone was
00:18:44.298 --> 00:18:46.319
untouched from this, right?
00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:48.240
What happens is there's a
00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:50.803
part of your brain where
00:18:51.063 --> 00:18:52.644
this amygdala that starts
00:18:52.763 --> 00:18:54.224
going a little bit crazy
00:18:54.845 --> 00:18:57.186
and this emotional part of
00:18:57.207 --> 00:18:59.407
your brain starts to take over.
00:18:59.827 --> 00:19:02.670
This is very true when we are teenagers.
00:19:03.835 --> 00:19:05.636
And when that's happening,
00:19:05.997 --> 00:19:07.518
what happens is it cuts us
00:19:07.657 --> 00:19:09.779
off from using our prefrontal cortex,
00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:11.921
which is our executive function thinking.
00:19:12.882 --> 00:19:14.403
And so when we are in a
00:19:14.502 --> 00:19:18.686
state of fear and worry and anxiety,
00:19:19.692 --> 00:19:22.674
we are not making the best
00:19:22.714 --> 00:19:23.974
decisions that's for the
00:19:24.035 --> 00:19:25.435
highest good of all.
00:19:26.395 --> 00:19:29.998
And so many people live in
00:19:30.038 --> 00:19:32.098
that energy and they feel
00:19:32.179 --> 00:19:34.039
so dense and they feel so
00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:35.381
tired and they're not
00:19:35.540 --> 00:19:36.402
sleeping and their
00:19:36.461 --> 00:19:37.602
thyroid's bothering them
00:19:37.622 --> 00:19:38.643
and they're not digesting
00:19:38.702 --> 00:19:40.824
food properly and they get
00:19:40.884 --> 00:19:43.464
lower back pain and their joints ache.
00:19:43.924 --> 00:19:44.986
And there's, I mean,
00:19:45.705 --> 00:19:47.106
I see this every day with
00:19:47.166 --> 00:19:48.268
people I work with.
00:19:49.127 --> 00:19:53.310
And so when we really take
00:19:53.431 --> 00:19:55.792
inventory of our physical
00:19:55.833 --> 00:19:59.295
body and recognize that if
00:19:59.335 --> 00:20:00.715
we go inside every single
00:20:00.855 --> 00:20:02.738
cell till we can't go any further,
00:20:02.778 --> 00:20:04.999
the only thing that's left is energy.
00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:07.361
So to not address the
00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:09.122
energetics of the human
00:20:09.201 --> 00:20:11.042
body when it comes to healing,
00:20:12.023 --> 00:20:13.105
I believe we're missing a
00:20:13.204 --> 00:20:14.645
whole aspect of healing.
00:20:16.009 --> 00:20:17.872
And so we just paying
00:20:17.892 --> 00:20:19.854
attention to how you're thinking,
00:20:20.433 --> 00:20:22.056
what you're allowing to come in.
00:20:22.476 --> 00:20:23.856
If you're an anxious person,
00:20:23.957 --> 00:20:26.579
you should not be watching the news.
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.480
Yeah.
00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:29.883
Like, like do not do that.
00:20:30.083 --> 00:20:31.544
You should be in the evening
00:20:31.584 --> 00:20:32.565
going outside.
00:20:32.744 --> 00:20:33.625
We should all be doing this,
00:20:33.925 --> 00:20:35.768
putting your bare feet in the grass,
00:20:36.188 --> 00:20:38.369
walking around, being in nature.
00:20:39.907 --> 00:20:43.010
And so it's incredible what
00:20:43.050 --> 00:20:46.153
the earth gives us in terms of sunshine,
00:20:46.755 --> 00:20:48.777
in terms of like being in nature,
00:20:48.817 --> 00:20:49.777
just going outside your
00:20:49.817 --> 00:20:51.199
front door and how that
00:20:51.318 --> 00:20:52.619
starts to help with the
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:54.541
body and how the brain is functioning.
00:20:55.261 --> 00:20:56.202
But I think it's important
00:20:56.222 --> 00:20:56.903
for people to take
00:20:56.983 --> 00:20:58.204
inventory of how is your
00:20:58.244 --> 00:20:59.185
brain functioning, right?
00:20:59.846 --> 00:21:01.326
and going and getting a
00:21:01.366 --> 00:21:02.728
medication first and
00:21:02.768 --> 00:21:04.248
foremost as your first step
00:21:04.307 --> 00:21:05.269
to think that you're
00:21:05.288 --> 00:21:06.588
improving your brain health,
00:21:07.109 --> 00:21:10.891
I feel like that is a huge, huge mistake.
00:21:13.112 --> 00:21:14.913
Medication, in my opinion,
00:21:15.493 --> 00:21:16.634
and in my experience,
00:21:16.733 --> 00:21:18.714
should be the very last thing,
00:21:19.255 --> 00:21:20.635
the last resource,
00:21:22.136 --> 00:21:23.616
and reminding people that
00:21:23.636 --> 00:21:24.597
your brain doesn't even
00:21:24.637 --> 00:21:25.738
fully develop until you're
00:21:25.758 --> 00:21:27.019
around twenty-five years old.
00:21:28.191 --> 00:21:29.571
And so more and more people,
00:21:30.333 --> 00:21:31.294
especially young people,
00:21:31.314 --> 00:21:35.116
I see a lot of young people are anxious.
00:21:35.356 --> 00:21:36.377
They're not sleeping.
00:21:36.557 --> 00:21:38.660
They're on these devices and
00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:41.903
they're just so anxious.
00:21:41.942 --> 00:21:42.864
So of course they're not
00:21:42.923 --> 00:21:44.285
using their prefrontal cortex.
00:21:45.405 --> 00:21:46.386
All of us weren't using it
00:21:46.487 --> 00:21:48.868
anyways when we were younger.
00:21:48.929 --> 00:21:50.691
But thank God I didn't have
00:21:50.770 --> 00:21:52.291
cell phones when I was that age.
00:21:52.332 --> 00:21:53.813
Like I can't even imagine.
00:21:54.513 --> 00:21:57.016
So I think really paying
00:21:57.036 --> 00:21:58.396
attention to how your brain
00:21:59.217 --> 00:22:00.637
is functioning and the
00:22:00.678 --> 00:22:01.499
thoughts that are coming
00:22:01.538 --> 00:22:03.160
through and recognizing
00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:05.842
that you are energy first.
00:22:05.882 --> 00:22:08.084
First and foremost, we are all energetic.
00:22:08.763 --> 00:22:10.384
And so we have to pay
00:22:10.404 --> 00:22:11.705
attention to the energies
00:22:11.746 --> 00:22:13.606
that we're allowing to surround us.
00:22:15.167 --> 00:22:16.068
Even the thoughts of other
00:22:16.128 --> 00:22:18.951
people impact our physical body,
00:22:19.030 --> 00:22:19.991
which is crazy.
00:22:21.133 --> 00:22:23.094
But it's super powerful, right?
00:22:24.537 --> 00:22:25.196
Yeah.
00:22:25.537 --> 00:22:26.636
I think that it's been
00:22:26.737 --> 00:22:28.557
really challenging watching
00:22:30.178 --> 00:22:31.438
my child kind of go through
00:22:31.478 --> 00:22:32.637
this process that I had to
00:22:32.678 --> 00:22:34.058
go through with he wanted
00:22:34.078 --> 00:22:35.239
to choose to do medication,
00:22:36.138 --> 00:22:37.278
every single medication
00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:40.180
within twenty minutes to two hours.
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:43.799
Horrible effects like floor rippling,
00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:45.641
space is not feeling right,
00:22:45.681 --> 00:22:48.020
kind of getting high off of a very,
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.641
very low dose of either
00:22:50.361 --> 00:22:52.741
something that really
00:22:53.521 --> 00:22:54.321
And again,
00:22:54.342 --> 00:22:55.461
medication is something that's
00:22:55.501 --> 00:22:56.682
supportive for some people,
00:22:56.762 --> 00:22:58.843
but it shouldn't be the first thing.
00:22:59.522 --> 00:23:01.943
And then even the challenges
00:23:01.963 --> 00:23:03.844
with coming off of them.
00:23:04.003 --> 00:23:05.864
That's where I think the
00:23:05.903 --> 00:23:07.064
dangers are that people
00:23:07.163 --> 00:23:08.644
don't really get that
00:23:08.684 --> 00:23:09.984
informed consent ahead of time.
00:23:10.025 --> 00:23:10.464
Like, okay,
00:23:10.505 --> 00:23:11.464
this is the medication that
00:23:11.484 --> 00:23:12.125
you're going to take and
00:23:12.144 --> 00:23:12.865
it's going to help you with
00:23:12.884 --> 00:23:14.246
this or it should help you with this.
00:23:14.685 --> 00:23:15.965
But there's never any chat
00:23:15.986 --> 00:23:17.145
about what happens when I
00:23:17.385 --> 00:23:18.405
maybe decide that I'm done
00:23:18.425 --> 00:23:19.346
with it or I'm taking it
00:23:19.366 --> 00:23:20.967
for a short period of time in my journey.
00:23:21.826 --> 00:23:22.768
I'd love if you'd share a
00:23:22.807 --> 00:23:23.548
little bit about that
00:23:23.588 --> 00:23:24.348
because that's something
00:23:24.368 --> 00:23:25.471
that's not talked about.
00:23:25.770 --> 00:23:26.571
And I think it's really
00:23:26.612 --> 00:23:28.053
scary from what we've experienced.
00:23:28.073 --> 00:23:29.134
My son has now been off for
00:23:29.193 --> 00:23:31.296
four weeks on medication
00:23:31.375 --> 00:23:32.817
and he's doing neurofeedback,
00:23:32.916 --> 00:23:35.138
which is freaking phenomenal.
00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.720
I don't know if you want to
00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.361
talk about that at all,
00:23:36.381 --> 00:23:37.361
but I just feel like
00:23:37.381 --> 00:23:38.261
there's things that people
00:23:38.281 --> 00:23:39.002
aren't aware of
00:23:39.202 --> 00:23:40.304
specifically with
00:23:40.423 --> 00:23:42.026
medications and getting off of them.
00:23:42.704 --> 00:23:43.005
Yeah.
00:23:43.045 --> 00:23:43.664
So, I mean,
00:23:43.724 --> 00:23:45.105
this is where we ask questions.
00:23:45.306 --> 00:23:46.546
We're supposed to ask questions.
00:23:46.605 --> 00:23:47.925
So if your doctor is going
00:23:47.965 --> 00:23:50.666
to put you on mind-altering medications,
00:23:51.446 --> 00:23:52.826
you should be asking,
00:23:53.446 --> 00:23:54.826
what training do you have
00:23:55.047 --> 00:23:56.907
to get me off of this medication?
00:23:57.587 --> 00:23:59.768
How long should I be on this medication?
00:24:00.228 --> 00:24:01.469
What are the side effects of
00:24:01.509 --> 00:24:02.669
this medication in
00:24:02.709 --> 00:24:05.769
conjunction with other medications,
00:24:06.430 --> 00:24:07.890
with supplements I take?
00:24:08.884 --> 00:24:10.905
Like we need to ask more
00:24:10.945 --> 00:24:13.346
questions and quit allowing
00:24:14.188 --> 00:24:15.407
a doctor to give us
00:24:15.468 --> 00:24:16.949
medicine and we don't ask a
00:24:16.989 --> 00:24:19.450
question and we just start taking it.
00:24:19.849 --> 00:24:21.211
Like this to me is like,
00:24:21.391 --> 00:24:23.112
this is exactly what I did, by the way.
00:24:23.152 --> 00:24:23.912
This is why I'm so
00:24:23.991 --> 00:24:24.853
passionate about it because
00:24:25.153 --> 00:24:26.473
I did not ask a question.
00:24:26.574 --> 00:24:28.174
I was twenty two years old
00:24:29.055 --> 00:24:30.195
and put on three mind
00:24:30.236 --> 00:24:31.236
altering medications
00:24:31.496 --> 00:24:33.096
without a fully developed brain.
00:24:34.857 --> 00:24:36.198
Like to me,
00:24:36.238 --> 00:24:38.398
that is like insane and younger
00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:39.179
and younger and younger
00:24:39.219 --> 00:24:41.279
people are being put on
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:42.259
these medications.
00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:44.101
And the other thing is,
00:24:46.040 --> 00:24:47.001
we don't even know how to
00:24:47.061 --> 00:24:49.041
measure brain chemistry, right?
00:24:49.142 --> 00:24:50.123
Like you're not gonna get
00:24:50.182 --> 00:24:53.243
put on a heart medication
00:24:53.443 --> 00:24:55.284
without testing your blood pressure,
00:24:55.644 --> 00:24:57.545
without doing some type of
00:24:57.644 --> 00:24:59.086
scan or some type of
00:24:59.145 --> 00:25:00.266
testing of the heart.
00:25:01.971 --> 00:25:05.173
So this is, this is Russian roulette.
00:25:05.394 --> 00:25:07.515
This is a game of figuring
00:25:07.674 --> 00:25:09.476
out what could work.
00:25:10.557 --> 00:25:10.737
Yeah.
00:25:10.817 --> 00:25:11.738
It's a lot of guessing.
00:25:11.857 --> 00:25:14.179
It feels like it is.
00:25:14.318 --> 00:25:16.460
It is a lot of guessing, right?
00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:17.760
So do you try this?
00:25:18.582 --> 00:25:20.001
Do you have anything to speak on?
00:25:20.182 --> 00:25:20.423
You know,
00:25:20.482 --> 00:25:21.542
everyone's of course unique in
00:25:21.563 --> 00:25:22.423
their bodies different,
00:25:22.523 --> 00:25:24.204
but I know one thing that I
00:25:24.244 --> 00:25:24.964
don't know if everyone
00:25:25.005 --> 00:25:27.366
thinks about also as well is, um,
00:25:28.395 --> 00:25:30.218
your genetic expressions,
00:25:30.397 --> 00:25:31.558
specific things that maybe
00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:32.559
are confiscating your
00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:34.142
detoxification pathways.
00:25:34.602 --> 00:25:36.804
So that may, you know, your liver, kidneys,
00:25:36.844 --> 00:25:38.806
methylation, things that, you know,
00:25:38.865 --> 00:25:40.567
people don't have that awareness as well,
00:25:40.587 --> 00:25:41.469
that also could be
00:25:41.509 --> 00:25:42.750
contributing factors to
00:25:43.190 --> 00:25:44.551
symptoms for mental health issues.
00:25:45.406 --> 00:25:46.928
Yeah, great point.
00:25:46.988 --> 00:25:48.709
And this is where I always remind people,
00:25:48.909 --> 00:25:50.028
get back to the basics.
00:25:50.169 --> 00:25:52.210
So about forty percent of
00:25:52.230 --> 00:25:53.651
people have an issue with methylation.
00:25:53.871 --> 00:25:54.671
Some of you may say, well,
00:25:54.691 --> 00:25:55.551
what is methylation?
00:25:56.051 --> 00:25:57.613
Methylation is essentially
00:25:58.333 --> 00:26:00.794
we put something in our body, a vitamins,
00:26:01.094 --> 00:26:01.694
anything,
00:26:02.355 --> 00:26:04.695
and our our body converts it to
00:26:04.736 --> 00:26:06.277
make it bioavailable so we
00:26:06.297 --> 00:26:07.757
can use those raw materials
00:26:08.278 --> 00:26:10.618
to do basic necessary things,
00:26:11.318 --> 00:26:12.640
functions of the human body.
00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.240
So if you're not working and
00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:17.321
you don't have access to raw materials,
00:26:17.362 --> 00:26:19.503
this is like building a house, right?
00:26:19.584 --> 00:26:20.124
Like, oh,
00:26:20.144 --> 00:26:21.944
we don't have enough screws or we
00:26:21.984 --> 00:26:23.425
don't have enough nails or
00:26:23.465 --> 00:26:24.205
we're going to miss a few
00:26:24.246 --> 00:26:25.366
pieces of wood here.
00:26:26.688 --> 00:26:29.048
It's not going to work out so great.
00:26:29.189 --> 00:26:31.710
You could get a standing structure, yes,
00:26:31.851 --> 00:26:35.292
but there's issues there.
00:26:35.772 --> 00:26:38.094
So I always say go back to the basics.
00:26:38.233 --> 00:26:39.835
We should be eating fruits
00:26:39.954 --> 00:26:40.955
and vegetables regularly.
00:26:41.655 --> 00:26:44.559
Meats, fats, seeds, nuts.
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.722
I mean, nutrition is not confusing.
00:26:48.564 --> 00:26:49.625
It's really simple.
00:26:49.705 --> 00:26:51.407
But with advertising to us,
00:26:51.508 --> 00:26:53.170
it has become very confusing.
00:26:53.410 --> 00:26:55.571
I believe and I see from my
00:26:55.592 --> 00:26:57.294
own experience with the clients I see,
00:26:57.354 --> 00:26:59.936
a lot of them are deficient in minerals.
00:27:00.057 --> 00:27:00.137
Yeah.
00:27:01.098 --> 00:27:03.240
And then also in terms of vitamins,
00:27:03.821 --> 00:27:04.082
you know,
00:27:04.102 --> 00:27:06.365
making sure you're getting a
00:27:06.424 --> 00:27:08.866
vitamin in its most bioavailable form.
00:27:09.528 --> 00:27:11.029
This is why I created my own
00:27:11.230 --> 00:27:12.832
line of nutraceuticals
00:27:12.912 --> 00:27:14.854
specifically for the brain,
00:27:15.394 --> 00:27:16.576
because I was finding I was
00:27:16.615 --> 00:27:17.336
sending people to the
00:27:17.356 --> 00:27:18.397
health food stores or
00:27:18.417 --> 00:27:20.039
telling them to go online to the wild,
00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.721
wild west.
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.803
to order, you know,
00:27:23.022 --> 00:27:24.403
B vitamins or this or that.
00:27:24.443 --> 00:27:25.424
And then I'm realizing that
00:27:25.444 --> 00:27:26.846
they're getting on methylated,
00:27:26.865 --> 00:27:27.987
that they're getting stuff
00:27:28.027 --> 00:27:30.789
that is full of magnesium stearate there.
00:27:31.029 --> 00:27:32.090
It's just full of stuff that
00:27:32.191 --> 00:27:33.872
actually is not helping.
00:27:34.712 --> 00:27:34.972
Um,
00:27:35.093 --> 00:27:37.915
and so it's really important to know
00:27:37.996 --> 00:27:39.297
what your body is able to
00:27:39.356 --> 00:27:40.458
process or what it's not.
00:27:40.817 --> 00:27:42.098
And I just say we should all
00:27:42.179 --> 00:27:43.058
act like our body's not
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:44.119
processing properly.
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.760
So we should, you know,
00:27:45.961 --> 00:27:47.342
supplement accordingly
00:27:47.362 --> 00:27:47.781
because if you're
00:27:47.801 --> 00:27:48.542
supplementing with the
00:27:48.643 --> 00:27:50.023
right good products,
00:27:50.064 --> 00:27:51.203
then you don't have to
00:27:51.223 --> 00:27:52.224
worry about methylation.
00:27:52.704 --> 00:27:55.866
And then the other thing is eating well,
00:27:57.147 --> 00:27:58.449
drinking water.
00:27:59.229 --> 00:28:00.890
I mean, all of these things are important.
00:28:01.230 --> 00:28:02.050
If you haven't,
00:28:02.877 --> 00:28:03.518
you know,
00:28:03.557 --> 00:28:06.199
had a good solid diet for sixty
00:28:06.239 --> 00:28:07.038
to ninety days,
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:08.339
if you haven't been going
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.539
outside for at least an
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.000
hour every single day,
00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:12.361
putting your feet in the grass,
00:28:12.421 --> 00:28:13.582
hanging out in nature,
00:28:14.041 --> 00:28:15.001
if you're not sleeping
00:28:15.061 --> 00:28:16.923
seven to eight hours every single night,
00:28:17.282 --> 00:28:20.324
if you're not, you know, having a hobby,
00:28:20.663 --> 00:28:23.444
a purpose, purpose is so important.
00:28:24.424 --> 00:28:26.066
You know, if you're not doing these things,
00:28:26.086 --> 00:28:27.046
you're not having good
00:28:27.105 --> 00:28:28.386
positive conversations and
00:28:28.426 --> 00:28:29.287
good relationships.
00:28:29.386 --> 00:28:30.567
If you're not doing like
00:28:30.606 --> 00:28:32.288
those five basic things,
00:28:33.961 --> 00:28:36.784
You need to start doing those first.
00:28:36.923 --> 00:28:37.964
I would highly recommend
00:28:38.005 --> 00:28:39.665
that you start working into
00:28:39.705 --> 00:28:41.886
those things first to
00:28:41.946 --> 00:28:45.690
create that support around you.
00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:47.111
And so your body and your
00:28:47.151 --> 00:28:49.432
brain can function in a way
00:28:49.451 --> 00:28:50.633
that is supportive.
00:28:51.473 --> 00:28:53.575
But I think too often, yeah,
00:28:53.835 --> 00:28:56.136
we go to the bottle first and it's like,
00:28:56.636 --> 00:28:56.916
you know,
00:28:57.017 --> 00:28:58.597
when's the last time you had a
00:28:58.637 --> 00:29:00.920
green leafy salad and ate blueberries?
00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.140
Yeah.
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.760
I mean, these are important basic things,
00:29:03.780 --> 00:29:04.381
but I think they're
00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:06.961
overlooked just because of
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.682
the culture we live in in
00:29:08.761 --> 00:29:10.281
terms of consumption, consumption,
00:29:10.321 --> 00:29:11.041
consumption,
00:29:11.423 --> 00:29:13.522
competition over collaboration.
00:29:14.982 --> 00:29:17.284
So it's a culture thing as
00:29:17.364 --> 00:29:19.184
well that we really need to
00:29:19.325 --> 00:29:21.045
override because we're not
00:29:21.404 --> 00:29:24.046
programmed to want to heal
00:29:24.105 --> 00:29:25.685
ourselves like we used to
00:29:25.726 --> 00:29:26.506
when we used to live in
00:29:26.566 --> 00:29:33.047
villages and we used to have –
00:29:29.989 --> 00:29:32.075
everyone would help each other.
00:29:32.095 --> 00:29:33.659
And that was a beautiful thing.
00:29:33.699 --> 00:29:35.964
And now it's not like that
00:29:36.005 --> 00:29:36.666
that much anymore.
00:29:37.781 --> 00:29:38.883
Well, like you said earlier,
00:29:38.942 --> 00:29:40.243
with the frontal lobe kind
00:29:40.284 --> 00:29:41.244
of going offline,
00:29:41.305 --> 00:29:42.526
our executive functioning
00:29:42.586 --> 00:29:43.405
that we can think and
00:29:43.425 --> 00:29:44.767
connect the dots between things.
00:29:44.866 --> 00:29:45.988
And when we go through trauma,
00:29:46.087 --> 00:29:47.509
like the collective trauma of COVID,
00:29:47.930 --> 00:29:48.930
that kind of shuts down.
00:29:48.950 --> 00:29:50.491
And being able to see or think that way,
00:29:50.511 --> 00:29:51.271
it doesn't matter how many
00:29:51.311 --> 00:29:53.153
PhDs you have or how smart you are.
00:29:53.913 --> 00:29:55.815
It still is not operating the right way.
00:29:55.875 --> 00:29:57.076
So I feel like thinking our
00:29:57.115 --> 00:29:58.477
way out of it is not the answer.
00:29:58.798 --> 00:29:59.538
It never works.
00:30:00.278 --> 00:30:01.199
Downregulating the nervous
00:30:01.219 --> 00:30:01.940
system and doing all the
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.681
things you're sharing.
00:30:03.060 --> 00:30:03.861
But I find it really...
00:30:04.701 --> 00:30:06.362
just so fascinating because, yeah,
00:30:06.382 --> 00:30:08.343
we do live in a culture of competition.
00:30:09.222 --> 00:30:10.423
And to me,
00:30:10.442 --> 00:30:12.084
I look at it from this broader
00:30:12.104 --> 00:30:12.884
perspective, like, OK,
00:30:12.943 --> 00:30:14.324
if we are trying to really
00:30:14.364 --> 00:30:15.924
compete and play the world
00:30:15.964 --> 00:30:17.944
game of whether the local game,
00:30:17.964 --> 00:30:18.585
the regional game,
00:30:18.605 --> 00:30:21.105
the world game of being better, competing,
00:30:21.125 --> 00:30:22.026
coming out on top,
00:30:22.086 --> 00:30:23.926
whatever that that winning looks like,
00:30:23.946 --> 00:30:25.366
whatever that standard of winning is.
00:30:26.307 --> 00:30:28.588
Why not be well rested so
00:30:28.608 --> 00:30:30.230
that you have the stamina?
00:30:30.371 --> 00:30:31.771
Why not have better mental
00:30:31.811 --> 00:30:33.413
health in your your entire
00:30:34.054 --> 00:30:35.555
economic system so you can
00:30:35.595 --> 00:30:36.935
compete your your community,
00:30:36.996 --> 00:30:38.817
your our citizens can
00:30:38.857 --> 00:30:40.239
create some sort of
00:30:40.298 --> 00:30:41.480
innovative product or
00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:42.361
something that creates
00:30:42.381 --> 00:30:43.461
something on the market for
00:30:43.481 --> 00:30:44.603
bringing in more income and more.
00:30:44.942 --> 00:30:45.202
You know,
00:30:45.563 --> 00:30:47.565
lessening poverty and improving health.
00:30:48.125 --> 00:30:50.086
Why does that not compute
00:30:50.405 --> 00:30:51.366
that that is the way to
00:30:51.406 --> 00:30:52.907
complete compete in a
00:30:52.948 --> 00:30:55.088
global market when we are not winning?
00:30:55.430 --> 00:30:56.470
We are not winning.
00:30:57.570 --> 00:30:58.672
I know that's like a side thing,
00:30:58.692 --> 00:30:59.531
but I don't know if you
00:30:59.551 --> 00:31:00.633
want to talk on that,
00:31:00.653 --> 00:31:02.433
but it does not make any sense to me.
00:31:03.128 --> 00:31:03.729
Well, I mean,
00:31:03.868 --> 00:31:09.372
I think also it has to do with – I mean,
00:31:10.092 --> 00:31:11.051
I'm kind of – I could be
00:31:11.092 --> 00:31:12.653
maybe considered a conspiracy theorist,
00:31:12.673 --> 00:31:13.712
but I don't think so,
00:31:14.032 --> 00:31:17.434
is that if you keep certain people down,
00:31:19.015 --> 00:31:26.251
you know, just imagine if every person –
00:31:24.423 --> 00:31:26.506
lived their true authentic life,
00:31:26.826 --> 00:31:29.807
meaning every person who is
00:31:29.827 --> 00:31:30.969
showing up to a job they
00:31:31.009 --> 00:31:32.891
don't like every day that is unhappy,
00:31:33.290 --> 00:31:34.471
goes home, yells at their kids,
00:31:34.511 --> 00:31:36.813
drinks beer every night, just feeling,
00:31:38.674 --> 00:31:41.096
what if they decided, you know,
00:31:41.297 --> 00:31:43.077
I am really into cars.
00:31:43.778 --> 00:31:45.779
I love rebuilding old cars.
00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:48.701
And they got to do that for their life.
00:31:49.083 --> 00:31:50.304
And they got to figure out a
00:31:50.324 --> 00:31:51.904
way to follow their dream
00:31:53.196 --> 00:31:55.238
and completely be in that
00:31:55.397 --> 00:31:58.978
world I mean that would be
00:31:59.018 --> 00:32:00.138
so powerful but what
00:32:00.199 --> 00:32:01.679
happens is people get in
00:32:01.719 --> 00:32:03.359
the rat race I have been
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:05.400
there you get in the rat
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.381
race of going to a job
00:32:07.441 --> 00:32:08.401
every day to collect a
00:32:08.441 --> 00:32:09.580
paycheck and maybe you do
00:32:09.641 --> 00:32:10.621
enjoy it and maybe you're
00:32:10.661 --> 00:32:13.281
good at it but you're not thriving
00:32:14.061 --> 00:32:16.123
You're not like living in a
00:32:16.202 --> 00:32:18.263
way that is so abundant.
00:32:18.463 --> 00:32:21.265
And I did this for eighteen years.
00:32:22.125 --> 00:32:23.326
It wasn't until I turned
00:32:23.405 --> 00:32:24.865
forty years old that I
00:32:24.925 --> 00:32:27.326
walked away from a six figure salary.
00:32:27.886 --> 00:32:30.147
Check all the boxes, insurance,
00:32:30.528 --> 00:32:33.209
health benefits, you know, retirement,
00:32:33.409 --> 00:32:34.009
all of that.
00:32:34.930 --> 00:32:37.030
And it felt so scary to me.
00:32:37.671 --> 00:32:38.431
I was like literally
00:32:38.471 --> 00:32:39.912
paralyzed for two years and
00:32:39.951 --> 00:32:40.951
couldn't make the decision
00:32:41.011 --> 00:32:42.492
to just step away.
00:32:43.093 --> 00:32:44.153
And I needed to step away
00:32:44.193 --> 00:32:45.814
because I was good at the job.
00:32:46.454 --> 00:32:47.474
I was helping people,
00:32:47.714 --> 00:32:49.955
but it wasn't to my full capacity.
00:32:50.155 --> 00:32:51.355
So something felt empty
00:32:51.395 --> 00:32:52.656
inside of me and I felt
00:32:52.696 --> 00:32:54.758
like just not right inside.
00:32:55.801 --> 00:32:57.343
And it wasn't until I walked
00:32:57.383 --> 00:32:59.124
away from that and started
00:32:59.163 --> 00:33:01.345
to fully invest myself into
00:33:01.404 --> 00:33:03.925
Happy Whole You that I have
00:33:04.046 --> 00:33:05.886
the most clarity in my life.
00:33:06.707 --> 00:33:08.607
I have like the best blood
00:33:08.647 --> 00:33:10.648
work I've ever had in my life.
00:33:11.409 --> 00:33:13.369
I have an abundance of
00:33:13.950 --> 00:33:16.652
social outlets and just
00:33:16.892 --> 00:33:18.932
time with my children and
00:33:18.972 --> 00:33:20.012
with my husband.
00:33:20.874 --> 00:33:23.335
And what's crazy is
00:33:24.134 --> 00:33:26.415
everything else took care of itself.
00:33:26.615 --> 00:33:28.896
And that's trusting, right?
00:33:28.938 --> 00:33:31.318
Like when we trust in the process of life.
00:33:32.118 --> 00:33:34.039
And if you can believe in
00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:36.101
yourself enough and your
00:33:36.121 --> 00:33:37.701
dream and what you truly want,
00:33:37.842 --> 00:33:40.103
and you follow it your way, not how...
00:33:40.944 --> 00:33:42.027
you know these people on
00:33:42.067 --> 00:33:43.009
social media oh make ten
00:33:43.048 --> 00:33:43.871
thousand dollars a month
00:33:43.911 --> 00:33:45.554
and I'll show you how no no no
00:33:46.262 --> 00:33:47.844
Like literally you have an
00:33:47.923 --> 00:33:49.484
organic blueprint within
00:33:49.525 --> 00:33:50.925
your soul and how you're
00:33:50.945 --> 00:33:52.067
supposed to show up and how
00:33:52.086 --> 00:33:52.907
you're supposed to help
00:33:52.948 --> 00:33:54.188
move humanity forward.
00:33:54.949 --> 00:33:56.890
And if you can tap into that,
00:33:57.691 --> 00:33:59.511
I promise you things are
00:33:59.551 --> 00:34:00.792
going to take care of themselves.
00:34:01.153 --> 00:34:02.814
And maybe the way you do
00:34:02.834 --> 00:34:04.174
that is you do have a job
00:34:04.194 --> 00:34:05.195
that you go to and you
00:34:05.395 --> 00:34:07.538
leverage where you're at so
00:34:07.637 --> 00:34:09.719
you can do your soul's work
00:34:09.778 --> 00:34:12.240
and your purpose as a side
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.461
thing for a while, right?
00:34:14.481 --> 00:34:15.003
There's not...
00:34:15.963 --> 00:34:17.463
right or wrong way to do it.
00:34:17.625 --> 00:34:18.545
And well,
00:34:18.684 --> 00:34:19.865
I'll say there is a wrong way to
00:34:19.905 --> 00:34:20.867
do it when you're doing it
00:34:20.887 --> 00:34:22.027
like other people and
00:34:22.047 --> 00:34:23.369
you're not doing it like
00:34:23.809 --> 00:34:25.570
you and how you're supposed to do it.
00:34:26.150 --> 00:34:27.771
That's when we're on the wrong path.
00:34:28.713 --> 00:34:31.856
And so I think most people
00:34:31.976 --> 00:34:34.317
are not living their true authentic life.
00:34:34.376 --> 00:34:35.898
And so that's why we feel so
00:34:35.938 --> 00:34:37.860
dysregulated and people's
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.681
immune systems are down.
00:34:39.942 --> 00:34:40.282
People's
00:34:45.865 --> 00:34:47.487
And, yeah,
00:34:47.567 --> 00:34:49.047
I think that if we go back to
00:34:49.148 --> 00:34:52.170
our soul and who we are, I mean, you know,
00:34:52.230 --> 00:34:52.909
as a medium,
00:34:52.969 --> 00:34:54.731
you probably see this all the time,
00:34:55.152 --> 00:34:55.592
you know,
00:34:56.172 --> 00:34:58.052
spirits and guides sharing with
00:34:58.092 --> 00:35:00.275
you or whoever's in front of you, like,
00:35:00.514 --> 00:35:02.856
hey, tell them everything is okay.
00:35:02.896 --> 00:35:05.338
You are supported.
00:35:05.438 --> 00:35:07.119
And so I think we forget
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.559
that we are supported all
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.539
the time when we're in our
00:35:09.579 --> 00:35:10.701
true authentic self and
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.601
following our soul's purpose.
00:35:12.621 --> 00:35:12.702
Yeah.
00:35:14.186 --> 00:35:15.927
I think that the work and
00:35:15.967 --> 00:35:16.969
the journey that you have
00:35:17.009 --> 00:35:18.030
done and that so many
00:35:18.090 --> 00:35:19.289
listening are either
00:35:19.349 --> 00:35:20.891
starting or they're in the middle of,
00:35:20.911 --> 00:35:21.512
or they're getting back,
00:35:21.612 --> 00:35:22.733
jumping back onto this
00:35:22.793 --> 00:35:25.074
journey of finding the self,
00:35:25.173 --> 00:35:26.795
like the true authentic self.
00:35:26.815 --> 00:35:28.755
You can't connect with it.
00:35:29.056 --> 00:35:31.077
You can't do it and live
00:35:31.097 --> 00:35:32.478
your purpose until you know who you are.
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.159
And those processes you said
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.360
of eating well, connecting with yourself,
00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:38.103
reprogramming, getting sleep,
00:35:38.483 --> 00:35:39.523
all those I think are part
00:35:39.563 --> 00:35:40.063
of the journey.
00:35:40.463 --> 00:35:42.764
That is part of the process.
00:35:42.965 --> 00:35:43.766
And then you get to that
00:35:43.806 --> 00:35:44.686
part where then you have
00:35:44.726 --> 00:35:46.047
the awareness of self and
00:35:46.347 --> 00:35:47.507
your authentic purpose.
00:35:47.887 --> 00:35:48.469
And then, of course,
00:35:48.528 --> 00:35:50.849
the bravery and developing that journey,
00:35:50.869 --> 00:35:51.690
that part of the journey of
00:35:51.731 --> 00:35:53.070
leveraging and whatever
00:35:53.110 --> 00:35:53.992
that looks like for each
00:35:54.032 --> 00:35:55.092
person when they start
00:35:55.112 --> 00:35:56.893
jumping into the expression of that.
00:35:56.934 --> 00:35:58.755
But I love living right now.
00:35:59.954 --> 00:36:00.534
Oh my gosh.
00:36:00.695 --> 00:36:01.476
I'm getting goosebumps.
00:36:01.576 --> 00:36:03.096
It is so incredible.
00:36:03.255 --> 00:36:03.516
The,
00:36:03.757 --> 00:36:05.317
the leaps and bounds of what I would
00:36:05.336 --> 00:36:06.617
say is our conscious, you know,
00:36:06.717 --> 00:36:08.657
soul human evolution of
00:36:08.697 --> 00:36:09.918
moving into just this,
00:36:10.219 --> 00:36:11.900
just what you did and just what, you know,
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:13.519
what I'm doing when I'm, when we are here,
00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:14.099
you know,
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.081
really trying to inspire our
00:36:15.101 --> 00:36:17.101
guests to do our listeners and,
00:36:17.181 --> 00:36:17.981
and all of us around and
00:36:18.001 --> 00:36:19.141
we're walking each other home with this,
00:36:19.161 --> 00:36:20.282
like Ram Dass says, you know,
00:36:20.322 --> 00:36:22.623
it's something that is so cool.
00:36:23.083 --> 00:36:25.304
It is right now.
00:36:25.804 --> 00:36:26.244
It is.
00:36:27.505 --> 00:36:29.146
One thing I do want to throw in here is,
00:36:30.144 --> 00:36:31.586
Because some of you may be saying, oh,
00:36:31.686 --> 00:36:32.126
Anna Marie,
00:36:32.146 --> 00:36:33.789
but you don't know what I'm
00:36:33.829 --> 00:36:35.891
going through.
00:36:36.032 --> 00:36:36.172
Right?
00:36:36.192 --> 00:36:39.155
You don't know what I've been through.
00:36:39.375 --> 00:36:40.335
And you're right.
00:36:40.777 --> 00:36:42.257
But I want to remind all of
00:36:42.358 --> 00:36:49.686
us that we get to go through the good,
00:36:49.987 --> 00:36:51.648
the bad, and the ugly.
00:36:52.885 --> 00:36:54.626
We get to go through that.
00:36:54.766 --> 00:36:56.047
It is a gift.
00:36:57.047 --> 00:36:59.467
So when you can recognize
00:36:59.688 --> 00:37:00.608
the things you've been
00:37:00.628 --> 00:37:02.108
through in your life and
00:37:02.148 --> 00:37:03.190
you view them through the
00:37:03.289 --> 00:37:05.831
lens as if they are a gift,
00:37:07.112 --> 00:37:08.552
and I have some things in
00:37:08.612 --> 00:37:10.293
my life that are not.
00:37:11.525 --> 00:37:13.146
You would not look at them and say,
00:37:13.286 --> 00:37:14.347
that was a gift.
00:37:14.789 --> 00:37:15.369
However,
00:37:15.710 --> 00:37:17.170
I choose to look at them as a gift
00:37:17.231 --> 00:37:19.393
now because of the lessons
00:37:19.432 --> 00:37:20.954
that they taught me,
00:37:21.014 --> 00:37:22.916
because of how I have developed.
00:37:23.657 --> 00:37:24.858
Nobody gets to go through
00:37:24.878 --> 00:37:27.141
this lifetime and this human experience
00:37:27.762 --> 00:37:30.103
easy smooth sailing there
00:37:30.123 --> 00:37:31.163
are going to be ups and
00:37:31.202 --> 00:37:32.182
downs as much as I've
00:37:32.222 --> 00:37:33.864
worked on myself I know the
00:37:33.943 --> 00:37:35.764
universe and god is going
00:37:35.804 --> 00:37:37.965
to bring me more challenges
00:37:38.425 --> 00:37:40.226
because every time I get
00:37:40.306 --> 00:37:41.445
met with a challenge in
00:37:41.505 --> 00:37:43.527
front of me yes it doesn't
00:37:43.606 --> 00:37:45.907
always feel great sometimes
00:37:45.987 --> 00:37:47.248
I feel like how in the
00:37:47.447 --> 00:37:48.527
world am I going to get
00:37:48.568 --> 00:37:50.068
through this but then I go
00:37:50.148 --> 00:37:51.768
back to who I am from a
00:37:51.849 --> 00:37:54.010
soul level and I say you chose this
00:37:55.230 --> 00:37:57.351
You have been chosen to go through this.
00:37:57.990 --> 00:37:59.251
And what is going to be on
00:37:59.271 --> 00:38:00.351
the other side of this?
00:38:01.211 --> 00:38:02.371
And there's always something
00:38:02.411 --> 00:38:03.672
beautiful on the other side of it.
00:38:03.773 --> 00:38:05.333
And so I just,
00:38:05.492 --> 00:38:07.614
I strongly encourage you to
00:38:07.833 --> 00:38:10.375
get out of the mindset of, yeah,
00:38:10.394 --> 00:38:12.014
but you don't know what's happened to me.
00:38:12.074 --> 00:38:13.594
And my life is so hard.
00:38:13.976 --> 00:38:15.695
Because if you keep saying those things,
00:38:15.715 --> 00:38:16.416
your brain's going to
00:38:16.476 --> 00:38:17.757
filter everything to make
00:38:17.777 --> 00:38:18.817
you see everything that's
00:38:18.836 --> 00:38:19.677
hard in your life.
00:38:20.177 --> 00:38:22.197
And life is not supposed to be easy,
00:38:22.217 --> 00:38:22.318
right?
00:38:22.458 --> 00:38:22.757
right?
00:38:22.918 --> 00:38:24.278
It's supposed to be challenging.
00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:25.539
It really is because that's
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:26.380
what develops you.
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:27.782
That's what evolves your soul.
00:38:28.742 --> 00:38:29.664
So I just want to remind
00:38:29.704 --> 00:38:31.445
everyone that we are chosen
00:38:31.505 --> 00:38:32.905
to go through those hard times.
00:38:33.786 --> 00:38:35.228
And I also believe that
00:38:35.288 --> 00:38:37.929
before we came to earth, that we agreed,
00:38:37.949 --> 00:38:38.831
we had like this soul
00:38:38.871 --> 00:38:40.331
contract that we agreed to
00:38:40.371 --> 00:38:41.393
go through what we went through.
00:38:41.413 --> 00:38:42.813
So then I also remind myself,
00:38:42.873 --> 00:38:44.454
you pick this, you chose this.
00:38:44.494 --> 00:38:44.574
Yeah.
00:38:44.594 --> 00:38:44.795
So yeah.
00:38:44.856 --> 00:38:45.036
Yeah.
00:38:47.858 --> 00:38:48.798
Well,
00:38:48.878 --> 00:38:50.599
I'm so grateful to connect with you
00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:53.001
and just really chat about all of this.
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:54.601
And one of the things that
00:38:54.702 --> 00:38:55.822
always comes up for me,
00:38:56.101 --> 00:38:57.603
and even more so recently
00:38:57.663 --> 00:38:59.143
with social media,
00:38:59.324 --> 00:39:01.445
and there's a lot of people
00:39:01.485 --> 00:39:02.485
maybe recognizing that
00:39:02.505 --> 00:39:03.106
they're struggling with
00:39:03.126 --> 00:39:04.646
mental health issues, or they might say,
00:39:05.086 --> 00:39:06.367
I think I might have ADD,
00:39:06.568 --> 00:39:08.068
or I think I might have ADHD.
00:39:08.829 --> 00:39:10.349
So let's dive into that,
00:39:10.530 --> 00:39:11.951
because I know that you
00:39:12.110 --> 00:39:13.291
were diagnosed with ADD.
00:39:13.891 --> 00:39:15.313
I'm wondering, this whole...
00:39:16.552 --> 00:39:16.992
To me,
00:39:17.514 --> 00:39:18.835
I'd love to hear your perspective on this,
00:39:18.914 --> 00:39:20.596
but those type of labels
00:39:20.635 --> 00:39:21.655
are for insurance companies
00:39:22.356 --> 00:39:24.398
for creating billing codes.
00:39:25.278 --> 00:39:27.760
And we are buying into these symptoms,
00:39:27.780 --> 00:39:29.101
this collection of symptoms.
00:39:29.621 --> 00:39:31.282
How much of those symptoms...
00:39:32.043 --> 00:39:33.585
are created from our diet
00:39:33.704 --> 00:39:35.367
are created from our trauma
00:39:35.507 --> 00:39:36.409
as a collective maybe
00:39:36.489 --> 00:39:37.409
through our own individual
00:39:37.429 --> 00:39:39.072
journey or coven because I
00:39:39.112 --> 00:39:40.293
have so many people I've
00:39:40.474 --> 00:39:41.434
talked to and worked with
00:39:41.494 --> 00:39:43.097
myself with had oh I have
00:39:43.157 --> 00:39:44.980
adhd symptoms but down
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:45.920
regulation the nervous
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:47.023
system cleaning up the diet
00:39:47.043 --> 00:39:48.704
there is no more that's not there
00:39:48.945 --> 00:39:50.065
it's not there and people
00:39:50.146 --> 00:39:51.405
are so I think people are
00:39:51.425 --> 00:39:52.186
getting excited though
00:39:52.206 --> 00:39:53.126
because they're like I just
00:39:53.146 --> 00:39:54.088
discovered what's quote
00:39:54.108 --> 00:39:55.228
unquote wrong with me I
00:39:55.248 --> 00:39:56.849
have adhd and this is why I
00:39:56.909 --> 00:39:58.050
do these things like okay
00:39:58.570 --> 00:39:59.489
but then they're trapped
00:39:59.510 --> 00:40:00.690
into that I you know this
00:40:00.731 --> 00:40:01.791
sort of this is how it is
00:40:01.811 --> 00:40:03.552
now and I I don't want to
00:40:03.793 --> 00:40:04.793
like this may be very
00:40:04.833 --> 00:40:06.153
controversial my opinion on
00:40:06.193 --> 00:40:07.454
that because my opinion is
00:40:07.494 --> 00:40:08.795
it's not it's not it's not
00:40:08.855 --> 00:40:10.135
something it's something
00:40:10.476 --> 00:40:12.356
that if we were living in nature
00:40:12.757 --> 00:40:13.496
outside and we had to
00:40:13.536 --> 00:40:14.257
survive and we had to
00:40:14.438 --> 00:40:16.318
easily quickly scan our
00:40:16.338 --> 00:40:17.739
surroundings with our peripheral vision,
00:40:17.778 --> 00:40:18.958
hear any animals coming out of us.
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:19.539
Yeah,
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.280
we'd be looking all over the place
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:21.981
and quickly,
00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:24.280
easily distracted because
00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:25.422
that's how we would survive.
00:40:26.222 --> 00:40:28.063
So why is that something
00:40:28.083 --> 00:40:29.143
that's wrong with us then
00:40:29.483 --> 00:40:30.664
if we are in that place in
00:40:30.684 --> 00:40:31.744
that state of our nervous system?
00:40:32.083 --> 00:40:32.945
So go ahead and take it away
00:40:32.965 --> 00:40:34.085
because I'm really very
00:40:34.125 --> 00:40:35.126
passionate about this, obviously.
00:40:35.186 --> 00:40:35.945
Yeah.
00:40:36.445 --> 00:40:37.806
Well, first and foremost,
00:40:37.987 --> 00:40:42.490
when we feel uneasy inside all the time,
00:40:42.811 --> 00:40:43.791
that's not normal.
00:40:44.333 --> 00:40:45.753
It is normal to have moments,
00:40:45.793 --> 00:40:47.195
like you said, where we're scanning,
00:40:47.235 --> 00:40:48.996
where we're anxious, where we're sad,
00:40:49.036 --> 00:40:50.858
where we're happy, where we're joyful.
00:40:51.539 --> 00:40:53.059
It's just not normal to feel
00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:54.942
anxious and fear all the time.
00:40:55.141 --> 00:40:56.682
And if that is happening or
00:40:56.722 --> 00:40:58.184
being distracted all the time,
00:40:58.264 --> 00:40:59.885
can't focus on anything, it's
00:41:00.202 --> 00:41:01.262
When these things are happening,
00:41:01.342 --> 00:41:02.583
this is your body's way of
00:41:02.664 --> 00:41:06.246
saying something is not
00:41:06.628 --> 00:41:08.909
going on and something's not right inside,
00:41:09.070 --> 00:41:11.472
meaning you're not helping me.
00:41:12.152 --> 00:41:13.713
You are abandoning me.
00:41:14.614 --> 00:41:16.235
You are making me struggle
00:41:16.335 --> 00:41:17.237
and I'm trying to
00:41:17.297 --> 00:41:20.900
compromise in ways so you can survive.
00:41:22.181 --> 00:41:24.043
And so, you know,
00:41:24.182 --> 00:41:26.224
with the whole ADHD thing,
00:41:26.284 --> 00:41:27.945
like for me personally,
00:41:28.387 --> 00:41:30.371
it was I wasn't great at
00:41:30.510 --> 00:41:31.952
sitting in a classroom for
00:41:32.373 --> 00:41:35.018
six to eight hours a day I
00:41:35.057 --> 00:41:36.940
needed to when I learned
00:41:37.001 --> 00:41:38.141
and taught myself how to
00:41:38.222 --> 00:41:41.708
study I literally would go to the loudest
00:41:42.625 --> 00:41:44.184
coffee shop when I was in
00:41:44.224 --> 00:41:46.106
college and I could sit
00:41:46.146 --> 00:41:47.885
there and I could focus and
00:41:48.025 --> 00:41:50.427
I could literally study for
00:41:50.467 --> 00:41:51.467
like an hour or two.
00:41:52.128 --> 00:41:54.447
And that was like the max for it.
00:41:55.088 --> 00:41:55.929
Even to this day,
00:41:55.989 --> 00:41:59.068
when I go to write or study something,
00:41:59.108 --> 00:42:00.409
I'm writing my second book right now.
00:42:01.170 --> 00:42:02.809
I go to a loud coffee shop
00:42:03.510 --> 00:42:04.650
or somewhere that's loud or
00:42:04.710 --> 00:42:05.610
Barnes and Noble,
00:42:06.311 --> 00:42:09.931
because that is how my brain works.
00:42:10.152 --> 00:42:11.652
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:13.922
right?
00:42:13.942 --> 00:42:15.043
What doesn't work for me is
00:42:15.083 --> 00:42:16.244
to sit in a classroom where
00:42:16.324 --> 00:42:17.867
everybody is quiet and have
00:42:17.887 --> 00:42:18.869
to sit there and listen to
00:42:18.889 --> 00:42:19.630
someone talk about
00:42:19.670 --> 00:42:21.192
something I'm not very interested in.
00:42:22.094 --> 00:42:23.054
And that's the other thing
00:42:23.235 --> 00:42:24.817
is people will say, oh yeah,
00:42:24.958 --> 00:42:26.579
my kid has ADD or ADHD.
00:42:28.402 --> 00:42:30.744
well they might not care
00:42:30.764 --> 00:42:31.884
what the teacher's saying
00:42:32.505 --> 00:42:33.565
but you know what you take
00:42:33.585 --> 00:42:35.347
them outside and they get
00:42:35.367 --> 00:42:37.568
to like experience nature
00:42:37.608 --> 00:42:38.367
or you can teach them
00:42:38.489 --> 00:42:39.969
science in a way that is
00:42:40.010 --> 00:42:41.570
like touching feeling more
00:42:41.630 --> 00:42:43.052
tactile and their brain is
00:42:43.072 --> 00:42:45.132
like yes I am learning all
00:42:45.193 --> 00:42:46.434
of this if you're teaching
00:42:46.474 --> 00:42:48.655
a math and with a ball and
00:42:48.675 --> 00:42:49.755
a hula hoop and you're
00:42:49.775 --> 00:42:50.797
teaching them how to like
00:42:51.297 --> 00:42:52.398
you put this many balls in
00:42:52.418 --> 00:42:53.677
the hula hoop you take two
00:42:53.717 --> 00:42:55.539
away how many do you have I mean
00:42:56.603 --> 00:42:58.065
that is very different than
00:42:58.146 --> 00:42:59.748
something on paper that is
00:42:59.788 --> 00:43:02.170
very linear right and so
00:43:02.650 --> 00:43:03.672
the fact that we're even
00:43:03.811 --> 00:43:06.554
labeling people children at
00:43:06.635 --> 00:43:10.239
that is insane and now it's
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:11.701
more socially acceptable
00:43:12.262 --> 00:43:13.523
like like I said when I was
00:43:13.543 --> 00:43:15.324
in high school I didn't
00:43:15.364 --> 00:43:16.887
know what depression was
00:43:17.827 --> 00:43:20.509
Like, I mean, I don't know,
00:43:20.668 --> 00:43:22.990
but I can get teenagers in
00:43:23.030 --> 00:43:24.972
here all the time that sit in the chair.
00:43:25.391 --> 00:43:28.152
They're like, yeah, I have ADD.
00:43:28.273 --> 00:43:29.393
I have depression.
00:43:29.574 --> 00:43:31.514
I also have anxiety all the time.
00:43:31.875 --> 00:43:33.576
I'm like, these are not things you have.
00:43:34.036 --> 00:43:35.856
These are things you're experiencing.
00:43:36.617 --> 00:43:38.077
So let's dive into why
00:43:38.117 --> 00:43:39.398
you're experiencing those.
00:43:40.807 --> 00:43:42.688
And so, yeah, I just,
00:43:42.909 --> 00:43:44.929
I'm with you on that.
00:43:45.510 --> 00:43:46.489
I think that all these
00:43:46.530 --> 00:43:48.411
labels are a disservice.
00:43:49.572 --> 00:43:51.371
They are definitely billing codes.
00:43:53.172 --> 00:43:54.193
If you've ever looked at
00:43:54.213 --> 00:43:55.793
your explanation of benefits,
00:43:56.574 --> 00:43:58.315
so anytime you,
00:43:58.434 --> 00:43:59.576
if you have a health insurance,
00:44:00.536 --> 00:44:01.297
most people don't know this
00:44:01.317 --> 00:44:02.577
because we also work with
00:44:03.217 --> 00:44:04.597
businesses and corporations
00:44:04.898 --> 00:44:06.239
on worksite wellness
00:44:06.278 --> 00:44:07.559
programs for their staff.
00:44:08.619 --> 00:44:08.840
And
00:44:09.780 --> 00:44:11.282
If you look at your billing codes,
00:44:11.402 --> 00:44:13.603
so one time I looked at
00:44:13.623 --> 00:44:14.463
some billing codes.
00:44:14.623 --> 00:44:18.885
I went to an OBGYN and there
00:44:18.925 --> 00:44:19.746
were all these billing
00:44:19.766 --> 00:44:21.085
codes for all these things.
00:44:21.367 --> 00:44:23.307
And one of them on there was
00:44:23.407 --> 00:44:25.668
a pregnancy test.
00:44:25.708 --> 00:44:25.909
Well,
00:44:26.048 --> 00:44:27.869
how am I getting a pregnancy test
00:44:27.889 --> 00:44:29.550
when I'm getting an IUD out?
00:44:30.431 --> 00:44:30.891
Tell me that.
00:44:31.570 --> 00:44:32.831
I didn't pee in a cup.
00:44:33.472 --> 00:44:35.672
I didn't get a pregnancy test, right?
00:44:35.693 --> 00:44:36.333
But guess what?
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:38.659
Because I'm female and they
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:39.960
could bill and get an extra
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.860
forty bucks here, forty bucks there.
00:44:42.721 --> 00:44:43.501
That's what's happening.
00:44:44.481 --> 00:44:48.943
And so I call the doctor's office and say,
00:44:48.963 --> 00:44:49.103
hey,
00:44:49.123 --> 00:44:51.344
you billed for a pregnancy test and I
00:44:51.364 --> 00:44:52.083
did not get that.
00:44:52.563 --> 00:44:53.304
And they're like, oh, well,
00:44:53.344 --> 00:44:53.925
your insurance paid it,
00:44:53.945 --> 00:44:54.465
so you're going to have to
00:44:54.485 --> 00:44:55.025
call your insurance.
00:44:55.065 --> 00:44:56.485
I call my insurance company and say, hey,
00:44:56.505 --> 00:44:56.965
by the way,
00:44:57.045 --> 00:44:58.085
so they billed for this
00:44:58.365 --> 00:44:59.327
pregnancy test and I didn't
00:44:59.347 --> 00:45:00.126
have a pregnancy test.
00:45:01.949 --> 00:45:02.568
And they're like, oh,
00:45:02.608 --> 00:45:04.130
you need to go talk to your doctor.
00:45:04.831 --> 00:45:07.893
At that point, who has time for that?
00:45:08.152 --> 00:45:10.594
So there's also all these billing codes.
00:45:10.675 --> 00:45:12.976
And once that goes on your record,
00:45:13.536 --> 00:45:15.157
like I had a client who had,
00:45:15.177 --> 00:45:17.119
I'm using air quotes,
00:45:17.259 --> 00:45:21.961
had lupus and she went to go get,
00:45:22.182 --> 00:45:23.003
I think she said she was
00:45:23.043 --> 00:45:23.623
trying to get life
00:45:23.684 --> 00:45:25.005
insurance and she couldn't get it.
00:45:25.885 --> 00:45:28.648
She did work on herself and
00:45:28.807 --> 00:45:30.208
it was no longer detectable
00:45:30.248 --> 00:45:31.791
with the blood work that she was doing.
00:45:31.831 --> 00:45:34.833
And this is about nine months later or so.
00:45:34.873 --> 00:45:35.695
She did a lot of work,
00:45:35.715 --> 00:45:36.394
did a lot of work here,
00:45:36.414 --> 00:45:37.496
did a lot of stuff on her own,
00:45:38.257 --> 00:45:40.179
went back and they said, no,
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:41.280
you can't get life
00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:43.382
insurance because of this,
00:45:43.722 --> 00:45:45.103
whatever code was put on
00:45:45.143 --> 00:45:46.025
her medical records.
00:45:46.184 --> 00:45:46.925
And that's going to follow
00:45:46.945 --> 00:45:48.226
her the rest of her life.
00:45:49.815 --> 00:45:52.577
So so we have to really wake
00:45:52.677 --> 00:45:53.836
up and pay attention.
00:45:53.916 --> 00:45:55.858
What are you allowing to be?
00:45:56.219 --> 00:45:58.059
Essentially, I call it cords,
00:45:58.099 --> 00:45:59.541
but corded to you or
00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:02.342
literally stamped on you.
00:46:02.802 --> 00:46:04.123
And you don't even have and
00:46:04.163 --> 00:46:05.284
most people don't even know
00:46:05.324 --> 00:46:06.204
this is happening.
00:46:06.425 --> 00:46:07.125
They don't even look at
00:46:07.164 --> 00:46:08.485
their explanation of benefits.
00:46:08.865 --> 00:46:10.246
They're like, oh, my insurance covered it.
00:46:10.467 --> 00:46:11.807
You're paying your insurance
00:46:11.887 --> 00:46:13.148
and maybe you don't pay out
00:46:13.168 --> 00:46:13.949
of pocket for your
00:46:13.989 --> 00:46:16.112
insurance or your employer is paying.
00:46:16.132 --> 00:46:16.552
But guess what?
00:46:16.592 --> 00:46:17.672
The reason you're not making
00:46:17.733 --> 00:46:19.213
more higher salary or a
00:46:19.293 --> 00:46:21.376
higher hourly rate is
00:46:21.416 --> 00:46:23.117
because that employer is factoring.
00:46:23.137 --> 00:46:24.137
They got to pay for this
00:46:24.177 --> 00:46:24.918
insurance for you.
00:46:26.262 --> 00:46:29.764
And so I just, a big fan, ask questions,
00:46:30.184 --> 00:46:31.206
pay attention,
00:46:32.065 --> 00:46:33.626
because we don't really
00:46:33.666 --> 00:46:34.786
know where this is going.
00:46:34.806 --> 00:46:36.807
And if you have a child and
00:46:36.847 --> 00:46:38.088
they're seven years old and
00:46:38.108 --> 00:46:40.750
they're being diagnosed with ADHD,
00:46:41.110 --> 00:46:42.210
they're being diagnosed
00:46:42.231 --> 00:46:43.851
with bipolar disorder.
00:46:45.313 --> 00:46:47.494
I mean, wow.
00:46:50.034 --> 00:46:51.135
What's going to happen when
00:46:51.275 --> 00:46:52.195
they go to get their own
00:46:52.255 --> 00:46:53.717
insurance and there's no
00:46:53.757 --> 00:46:55.038
longer open enrollment?
00:46:57.237 --> 00:46:57.338
Yeah.
00:46:57.358 --> 00:46:59.420
That is so good to know.
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:00.001
Yeah.
00:47:00.181 --> 00:47:03.646
And in this country, to my knowledge,
00:47:03.686 --> 00:47:04.987
because I've tried to get this,
00:47:05.248 --> 00:47:05.768
you can't...
00:47:07.005 --> 00:47:08.266
My family pays about fifteen
00:47:08.286 --> 00:47:09.467
hundred dollars a month in
00:47:09.507 --> 00:47:13.427
like bare minimum health insurance.
00:47:13.588 --> 00:47:15.367
Like I was like, hey,
00:47:15.507 --> 00:47:16.628
I just want something
00:47:16.929 --> 00:47:18.168
catastrophic insurance.
00:47:18.309 --> 00:47:19.449
Can I get catastrophic
00:47:19.489 --> 00:47:20.949
insurance if there's an accident?
00:47:21.050 --> 00:47:21.289
Right.
00:47:21.369 --> 00:47:22.969
If there's my arm goes
00:47:23.010 --> 00:47:24.150
flying off in a car
00:47:24.210 --> 00:47:25.411
accident or I need a
00:47:25.530 --> 00:47:27.231
surgery or like something
00:47:27.271 --> 00:47:28.291
where the medical industry
00:47:28.351 --> 00:47:31.692
is so amazing at saving lives.
00:47:32.353 --> 00:47:33.373
I want that insurance.
00:47:34.032 --> 00:47:34.632
And guess what?
00:47:34.733 --> 00:47:35.432
In this country,
00:47:35.574 --> 00:47:36.773
you can't get that insurance.
00:47:36.893 --> 00:47:38.634
You have to have a baseline
00:47:38.793 --> 00:47:41.175
of health insurance, which is really,
00:47:41.235 --> 00:47:42.795
in my opinion, sick insurance.
00:47:43.615 --> 00:47:44.976
And I'm paying fifteen
00:47:44.996 --> 00:47:47.597
hundred dollars a month.
00:47:47.637 --> 00:47:50.577
Almost eighteen thousand dollars a year.
00:47:50.597 --> 00:47:52.199
Yeah.
00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:54.159
I mean, this is criminal to me.
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:56.699
And I can be punished and
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.019
fined in this country for
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.420
not having that people.
00:48:00.721 --> 00:48:03.061
Why are we not asking more questions?
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:04.440
Yeah.
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:04.559
Yeah.
00:48:04.579 --> 00:48:05.740
So anyway, sorry, I went on a rant there,
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:07.601
but thank you for listening.
00:48:08.543 --> 00:48:09.824
I mean, asking questions is where we,
00:48:10.043 --> 00:48:11.344
we take our power back in
00:48:11.445 --> 00:48:12.925
every single aspect of our lives.
00:48:13.206 --> 00:48:13.525
Yes.
00:48:13.806 --> 00:48:14.867
And when they're telling you
00:48:14.967 --> 00:48:16.347
not to ask those questions
00:48:16.407 --> 00:48:17.628
or they're blowing you off
00:48:17.668 --> 00:48:19.150
and they're saying, look this way,
00:48:19.990 --> 00:48:21.010
that's when we need to ask
00:48:21.070 --> 00:48:22.331
even more questions and be
00:48:22.371 --> 00:48:23.552
even stronger in the
00:48:23.592 --> 00:48:24.893
questions that we're asking.
00:48:24.914 --> 00:48:25.835
Yeah.
00:48:25.875 --> 00:48:28.195
Because it's just, yeah,
00:48:28.277 --> 00:48:29.177
there's a whole lot of
00:48:29.217 --> 00:48:30.277
stuff going on that most
00:48:30.318 --> 00:48:31.119
people aren't aware of.
00:48:31.139 --> 00:48:32.278
Yeah, absolutely.
00:48:32.659 --> 00:48:33.099
Absolutely.
00:48:34.164 --> 00:48:36.806
Well, so asking my final questions,
00:48:36.826 --> 00:48:38.047
since we're going on questions,
00:48:38.106 --> 00:48:41.068
questions is the best way to go.
00:48:41.269 --> 00:48:42.530
I would love to learn more
00:48:42.590 --> 00:48:43.871
about the audience and
00:48:43.911 --> 00:48:44.632
listeners want to learn a
00:48:44.652 --> 00:48:46.333
little bit more about any
00:48:46.373 --> 00:48:47.494
cool things you're up to.
00:48:47.934 --> 00:48:49.315
I mean, you mentioned your book,
00:48:49.516 --> 00:48:50.976
your programs, your offerings.
00:48:51.617 --> 00:48:53.179
We'd love to hear and share
00:48:53.219 --> 00:48:53.878
with what is it that you're
00:48:53.918 --> 00:48:55.039
up to that you're offering
00:48:55.059 --> 00:48:55.900
the world that we can learn
00:48:55.940 --> 00:48:59.643
more about from you.
00:48:59.664 --> 00:49:00.804
Gosh, I...
00:49:03.378 --> 00:49:04.981
I'm really just up to like
00:49:05.521 --> 00:49:07.164
learning more from others.
00:49:07.344 --> 00:49:08.204
So this is why I appreciate
00:49:08.364 --> 00:49:09.806
you bringing me on this podcast.
00:49:09.887 --> 00:49:11.469
And I love listening to
00:49:11.489 --> 00:49:14.353
podcasts and just hearing
00:49:14.373 --> 00:49:15.574
different voices, right?
00:49:15.594 --> 00:49:17.217
Like we don't have to agree
00:49:17.257 --> 00:49:18.338
with other people's
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:20.298
thoughts and opinions,
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:21.639
but I think it's important
00:49:21.659 --> 00:49:23.119
that we're exposed to them.
00:49:24.041 --> 00:49:25.641
So some goals and things I'm
00:49:25.681 --> 00:49:28.822
up to this year is my goal
00:49:28.942 --> 00:49:32.063
is to be on over thirty
00:49:32.103 --> 00:49:34.483
podcasts and to record one
00:49:34.523 --> 00:49:36.885
podcast a week on my podcast,
00:49:36.905 --> 00:49:38.324
the Happy Whole You podcast.
00:49:39.365 --> 00:49:41.005
And so that's something I'm
00:49:41.085 --> 00:49:42.827
up to because I love
00:49:42.947 --> 00:49:44.286
collaborating with other
00:49:44.306 --> 00:49:46.768
people and I love having conversations
00:49:47.628 --> 00:49:49.548
And I encourage other people to do that,
00:49:49.588 --> 00:49:50.690
like pick up the phone and
00:49:50.730 --> 00:49:52.351
call someone again.
00:49:52.431 --> 00:49:54.231
No more just texting, you know,
00:49:54.331 --> 00:49:55.373
ask someone to go for a
00:49:55.432 --> 00:49:57.172
walk just to have conversation.
00:49:58.434 --> 00:49:59.255
So that's something.
00:49:59.394 --> 00:50:00.295
And then the other thing
00:50:00.335 --> 00:50:03.436
that we're up to that we've
00:50:03.496 --> 00:50:04.918
really pushed out this year
00:50:05.057 --> 00:50:06.358
is our work site.
00:50:06.619 --> 00:50:07.739
We call them well-being and
00:50:07.778 --> 00:50:09.480
performance programs where
00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:10.860
we're working with companies to
00:50:11.481 --> 00:50:14.362
Um, we're doing webinars with companies,
00:50:14.402 --> 00:50:15.864
we're doing cooking classes,
00:50:15.903 --> 00:50:18.085
we're doing DYI skincare
00:50:18.125 --> 00:50:18.985
and just like all these
00:50:19.045 --> 00:50:22.007
holistic opportunities, paint nights, um,
00:50:22.286 --> 00:50:22.867
locally.
00:50:23.128 --> 00:50:24.969
And we're working with, uh,
00:50:24.989 --> 00:50:27.750
clients that are remote, um, you know,
00:50:27.769 --> 00:50:29.371
in other areas just to
00:50:29.471 --> 00:50:32.193
bring that wellbeing and
00:50:32.333 --> 00:50:34.153
opportunities of wellness, um,
00:50:34.753 --> 00:50:37.516
And to people that otherwise
00:50:37.775 --> 00:50:39.177
maybe are caught up in
00:50:39.197 --> 00:50:40.577
their day to day and they're not thinking,
00:50:40.878 --> 00:50:41.039
oh,
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:42.840
taking a paint night or doing a paint
00:50:42.860 --> 00:50:45.722
class or, you know, oh, I can make my own,
00:50:45.882 --> 00:50:48.623
you know, laundry detergent or, you know,
00:50:48.704 --> 00:50:50.244
my own cleaning products
00:50:50.284 --> 00:50:51.385
that saves you time.
00:50:51.445 --> 00:50:52.347
It helps your, you know,
00:50:52.387 --> 00:50:53.487
it's better for your health.
00:50:54.288 --> 00:50:56.170
um, saves you a lot of money.
00:50:56.871 --> 00:50:58.032
Um, you know,
00:50:58.072 --> 00:50:59.393
and then we do these six week
00:50:59.432 --> 00:51:01.675
programs on mindset and
00:51:01.735 --> 00:51:03.137
raising your frequency.
00:51:03.456 --> 00:51:04.597
And so that's been really
00:51:04.657 --> 00:51:05.938
fun to go into companies,
00:51:06.018 --> 00:51:07.820
all sorts of companies, public sector,
00:51:07.860 --> 00:51:11.324
private sector, and work with these, um,
00:51:11.385 --> 00:51:12.105
individuals.
00:51:12.204 --> 00:51:14.427
It's, you know, I'm just a people person.
00:51:14.487 --> 00:51:16.670
So I love just developing,
00:51:16.750 --> 00:51:18.952
creating relationships and, and, uh,
00:51:19.632 --> 00:51:19.911
you know,
00:51:19.972 --> 00:51:21.612
helping people see some things
00:51:21.632 --> 00:51:22.934
that I've learned and if
00:51:22.974 --> 00:51:24.675
they love it and they pick up on it,
00:51:24.715 --> 00:51:25.295
that's cool.
00:51:25.335 --> 00:51:26.275
And then I love learning
00:51:26.295 --> 00:51:28.556
from other people as well.
00:51:28.657 --> 00:51:29.056
Awesome.
00:51:29.217 --> 00:51:30.597
And so we can learn more about,
00:51:30.637 --> 00:51:31.378
I want to put everything in
00:51:31.398 --> 00:51:33.699
the show notes for accessing your podcast,
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:34.440
your website.
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:35.800
Is there anywhere you want
00:51:35.820 --> 00:51:36.740
to specifically that you're
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:38.621
really active on any platform,
00:51:38.641 --> 00:51:39.382
social media that you
00:51:39.422 --> 00:51:41.063
really love to interact with people on?
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:42.980
Well, I did.
00:51:43.099 --> 00:51:44.161
We did just start
00:51:44.260 --> 00:51:47.842
doctor.anna.marie on Instagram.
00:51:47.943 --> 00:51:48.923
And so that's going to be
00:51:49.003 --> 00:51:50.806
more of like me personally
00:51:51.947 --> 00:51:52.907
sharing things.
00:51:53.027 --> 00:51:55.469
And then the happy whole you
00:51:55.750 --> 00:51:57.451
on Instagram is more of our
00:51:57.550 --> 00:51:58.612
brick and mortar Instagram.
00:51:59.271 --> 00:52:01.494
location in Bakersfield, California,
00:52:02.275 --> 00:52:04.235
and services that that we provide.
00:52:04.315 --> 00:52:08.039
So either one of those is, is good.
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:10.240
And then happy whole you.com.
00:52:10.601 --> 00:52:12.463
You can, you know,
00:52:12.483 --> 00:52:13.503
see the nutraceuticals
00:52:13.523 --> 00:52:15.626
we've created and the
00:52:15.726 --> 00:52:17.367
courses that we have there
00:52:17.427 --> 00:52:18.668
just to help lift you up.
00:52:18.748 --> 00:52:20.929
And yeah, all of it's there.
00:52:20.949 --> 00:52:22.271
Awesome.
00:52:22.311 --> 00:52:22.391
Well,
00:52:22.411 --> 00:52:24.413
we have two final questions we ask
00:52:24.472 --> 00:52:25.653
everyone after when they're
00:52:25.693 --> 00:52:26.954
on our show for the first time.
00:52:28.193 --> 00:52:29.594
So the first question is,
00:52:29.934 --> 00:52:31.556
what is your favorite product,
00:52:31.896 --> 00:52:32.956
wellness topic,
00:52:33.376 --> 00:52:36.099
or self-care indulgence at this time?
00:52:36.860 --> 00:52:38.079
Oh, my God.
00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:39.221
There's so many.
00:52:39.501 --> 00:52:39.661
Yeah.
00:52:39.721 --> 00:52:40.481
And you can mention a couple
00:52:40.501 --> 00:52:40.882
if you need to.
00:52:40.902 --> 00:52:41.902
Okay.
00:52:41.943 --> 00:52:44.623
So I'm a big fan of castor oil.
00:52:45.105 --> 00:52:47.306
I literally rub it all over my face.
00:52:47.847 --> 00:52:48.867
If there's a problem,
00:52:48.927 --> 00:52:51.728
castor oil is involved everywhere.
00:52:52.190 --> 00:52:52.269
Um,
00:52:52.409 --> 00:52:54.172
I woke up one morning and I slept wrong
00:52:54.411 --> 00:52:56.094
on my, on my arm.
00:52:56.333 --> 00:52:57.135
I believe I slept wrong.
00:52:57.175 --> 00:52:58.115
My husband said it was cause
00:52:58.135 --> 00:53:00.219
we went bowling and he's like, no,
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:01.420
you got sore from bowling,
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:02.641
which I'm not going to believe that,
00:53:02.702 --> 00:53:05.364
but I like couldn't lift my arm up.
00:53:06.045 --> 00:53:07.487
And so what I did is I put
00:53:07.547 --> 00:53:08.708
tons of castor oil with
00:53:08.728 --> 00:53:10.490
cayenne pepper and wrapped it up and
00:53:11.090 --> 00:53:12.713
And literally it was like
00:53:12.873 --> 00:53:14.775
better within like twenty four hours.
00:53:14.815 --> 00:53:16.097
So that was cool because
00:53:16.257 --> 00:53:17.097
actually the first twenty
00:53:17.117 --> 00:53:18.639
four hours I was just like, oh,
00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:19.740
and I was dealing with the pain.
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:19.981
I'm like,
00:53:20.121 --> 00:53:21.603
why am I not putting castor oil on this?
00:53:21.623 --> 00:53:22.824
Why am I not doing cayenne pepper?
00:53:22.864 --> 00:53:24.226
And once I did that, boom,
00:53:24.246 --> 00:53:25.126
it started to improve.
00:53:26.728 --> 00:53:29.530
So that, and then I have to say,
00:53:29.550 --> 00:53:32.530
I'm going to shamelessly
00:53:32.992 --> 00:53:35.353
plug two of my products.
00:53:37.114 --> 00:53:37.253
One,
00:53:37.273 --> 00:53:38.574
because I've worked so hard on
00:53:38.635 --> 00:53:41.016
creating these and formulating them.
00:53:41.916 --> 00:53:45.478
But, um, our whole you,
00:53:45.518 --> 00:53:48.840
it's a liquid multi-food based,
00:53:49.021 --> 00:53:51.722
like think of it as micro dosing, macro,
00:53:51.742 --> 00:53:54.244
micro minerals, amino acids, fatty acids.
00:53:54.264 --> 00:53:54.664
It's like,
00:53:54.864 --> 00:53:56.385
it's my blanket because I used
00:53:56.425 --> 00:53:57.766
to take like twenty some
00:53:57.806 --> 00:53:59.487
pills a day and literally I
00:53:59.507 --> 00:54:01.007
take an ounce shot of that every day.
00:54:01.989 --> 00:54:03.990
And that is like my jam.
00:54:04.630 --> 00:54:08.094
And I combine that with one
00:54:08.114 --> 00:54:09.255
of our flagship products,
00:54:09.295 --> 00:54:10.815
which is called Bright U.
00:54:10.896 --> 00:54:12.157
It's neuroprotective.
00:54:12.177 --> 00:54:13.639
It's anti-inflammatory,
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:15.019
kind of anti-aging.
00:54:16.061 --> 00:54:19.884
And that is like my everyday go-to combo.
00:54:20.423 --> 00:54:22.166
And I love it because like I said,
00:54:22.266 --> 00:54:23.327
I used to take like
00:54:23.646 --> 00:54:24.547
I would have to like spread
00:54:24.588 --> 00:54:26.070
my pills out throughout the whole day.
00:54:26.150 --> 00:54:27.192
Cause I would take so many
00:54:27.231 --> 00:54:29.054
pills and I could not swallow them all.
00:54:29.795 --> 00:54:30.016
Um,
00:54:30.115 --> 00:54:32.079
and so now I take three pills and one
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:34.983
out shot every day and I'm good to go.
00:54:35.302 --> 00:54:37.686
So, um, those are my things.
00:54:37.766 --> 00:54:39.208
And I started, uh,
00:54:39.228 --> 00:54:41.231
Pilates reformer Pilates, um,
00:54:41.371 --> 00:54:43.932
And that has been beautiful,
00:54:44.414 --> 00:54:45.894
non-impact on my body.
00:54:46.074 --> 00:54:47.155
I used to be a runner.
00:54:47.277 --> 00:54:48.398
I don't do that anymore.
00:54:49.097 --> 00:54:53.181
And my body is so happy with that.
00:54:53.342 --> 00:54:53.983
And I, it just,
00:54:54.143 --> 00:54:56.125
it feels so good and it's challenging.
00:54:56.844 --> 00:54:59.288
And so I, that feels good for me.
00:55:00.195 --> 00:55:01.876
That's awesome.
00:55:01.896 --> 00:55:03.456
I would love to know if with
00:55:03.476 --> 00:55:04.257
the castor oil,
00:55:04.318 --> 00:55:05.557
did you ever get one of the,
00:55:05.677 --> 00:55:06.858
the actual wraps that go
00:55:06.878 --> 00:55:07.579
with the castor oil?
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:09.599
I just got one specifically for the neck.
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:10.400
Oh yeah.
00:55:10.420 --> 00:55:11.501
It's actually like it's
00:55:11.621 --> 00:55:13.802
washable and it actually has Velcro.
00:55:13.822 --> 00:55:15.021
You can step it on and then
00:55:15.141 --> 00:55:16.543
pop it on and sleep with it.
00:55:16.862 --> 00:55:18.483
Got one for my, for my abdomen area.
00:55:18.523 --> 00:55:19.824
I was so excited when I found these,
00:55:19.844 --> 00:55:20.804
I didn't know they existed.
00:55:21.364 --> 00:55:21.764
Oh yeah.
00:55:21.824 --> 00:55:22.105
Yeah.
00:55:22.224 --> 00:55:22.925
No, they're great.
00:55:23.146 --> 00:55:23.226
Um,
00:55:24.065 --> 00:55:26.246
I don't I haven't bought
00:55:26.286 --> 00:55:27.367
like one of those wraps,
00:55:27.427 --> 00:55:29.847
but I'm notorious for
00:55:29.927 --> 00:55:31.568
rubbing castor oil all over
00:55:31.608 --> 00:55:33.469
my body and having just my
00:55:33.548 --> 00:55:34.668
underwear and bra on and
00:55:34.708 --> 00:55:36.389
like doing a few things,
00:55:36.449 --> 00:55:37.670
doing laundry and letting
00:55:37.710 --> 00:55:38.909
it kind of absorb.
00:55:39.050 --> 00:55:40.010
And then I put on like an
00:55:40.130 --> 00:55:41.431
old nightshirt and go to bed.
00:55:42.710 --> 00:55:44.811
Um, but it, it can get sticky for people,
00:55:44.851 --> 00:55:46.431
but I just do like a thin layer.
00:55:46.711 --> 00:55:48.672
And so, um, yeah.
00:55:48.733 --> 00:55:51.094
And then if I am going to do like a wrap,
00:55:51.833 --> 00:55:52.054
um,
00:55:52.253 --> 00:55:54.034
I'll do like the liver wrap and then
00:55:54.074 --> 00:55:55.355
I'll sometimes do like dry
00:55:55.414 --> 00:55:56.934
herbs on that as well.
00:55:57.574 --> 00:55:58.576
Um, so I really,
00:55:58.876 --> 00:56:01.115
I like that for a little detox.
00:56:01.516 --> 00:56:02.757
Um, that always feels good.
00:56:04.090 --> 00:56:04.250
Awesome.
00:56:04.289 --> 00:56:04.570
Well,
00:56:04.610 --> 00:56:05.869
the last question actually is related
00:56:05.891 --> 00:56:06.471
to detox.
00:56:06.630 --> 00:56:08.550
So the last question is,
00:56:08.811 --> 00:56:10.530
if you could detox one
00:56:10.570 --> 00:56:13.791
thing in your life or the world right now,
00:56:13.871 --> 00:56:19.733
what would it be?
00:56:19.833 --> 00:56:25.014
I think I would detox sadness.
00:56:25.054 --> 00:56:26.215
Like I get emotional.
00:56:26.275 --> 00:56:26.994
Like I...
00:56:27.983 --> 00:56:30.346
never want someone to feel
00:56:31.306 --> 00:56:33.327
that depressed state where
00:56:33.427 --> 00:56:34.989
every day feels hard,
00:56:35.568 --> 00:56:37.110
where every day feels like,
00:56:38.030 --> 00:56:39.190
I don't know if I can do it
00:56:39.271 --> 00:56:42.373
because like you so can.
00:56:45.474 --> 00:56:48.376
And there, there is hope and you can,
00:56:48.556 --> 00:56:50.878
I just, from my heart,
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:54.380
like you are here on purpose and,
00:56:55.342 --> 00:56:58.505
And, like, you have so much,
00:56:59.045 --> 00:57:00.306
so much that you're
00:57:00.346 --> 00:57:01.666
supposed to be contributing.
00:57:02.768 --> 00:57:04.250
But it does start with you
00:57:04.289 --> 00:57:05.371
loving yourself and
00:57:05.471 --> 00:57:06.891
embracing the uniqueness
00:57:06.911 --> 00:57:09.454
that you are and living unapologetically.
00:57:10.195 --> 00:57:11.576
as your true authentic self.
00:57:11.697 --> 00:57:13.577
And I just would love if
00:57:13.657 --> 00:57:14.898
people could find that
00:57:14.958 --> 00:57:17.960
within them and show up in
00:57:18.161 --> 00:57:20.222
the world with who they really are.
00:57:20.682 --> 00:57:22.164
And to me,
00:57:22.585 --> 00:57:24.565
so I would detox sadness and
00:57:24.626 --> 00:57:27.829
fill the body up with all the goodness.
00:57:29.530 --> 00:57:30.150
Awesome.
00:57:30.251 --> 00:57:31.092
I love that one.
00:57:31.231 --> 00:57:32.313
Thank you so much.
00:57:32.952 --> 00:57:33.693
Thank you.
00:57:33.813 --> 00:57:34.954
I appreciate you coming on.
00:57:35.434 --> 00:57:36.695
I know that listeners,
00:57:36.755 --> 00:57:39.257
please go and visit her on Instagram,
00:57:39.318 --> 00:57:40.358
visit her website.
00:57:40.378 --> 00:57:41.199
We're going to have all that
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:41.958
stuff in the show notes for
00:57:41.978 --> 00:57:42.900

00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:44.541
And if you have any questions,
00:57:44.561 --> 00:57:46.282
something specifically we did not address,
00:57:46.342 --> 00:57:47.003
if you're like, hey,
00:57:47.103 --> 00:57:47.722
I want to have her come
00:57:47.742 --> 00:57:50.045
back on again and talk about this,
00:57:50.144 --> 00:57:51.144
we can absolutely do that.
00:57:51.184 --> 00:57:52.146
Maybe help her hit her goal
00:57:52.206 --> 00:57:53.547
of our episodes for the
00:57:53.586 --> 00:57:54.847
year she wants to do for
00:57:54.887 --> 00:57:56.648
other podcast episodes, we can do that.
00:57:57.248 --> 00:57:57.630
But again,
00:57:57.650 --> 00:57:59.231
thank you so much for coming on.
00:57:59.851 --> 00:58:01.211
Yes, thank you.
00:58:01.532 --> 00:58:03.193
Thanks for all for listening.
00:58:04.074 --> 00:58:05.356
We appreciate y'all and be
00:58:05.416 --> 00:58:07.157
well until next time, my friends.
